Chapter 241: Heretic / 1.2 : I’m a god
Kian entered his office out of breath and took a seat. When the assistant gave him all the papers he had to check on and he was alone he focused on Versem. He checked the state of his body and saw that his uncle used a poison called mimic.
All you have to do is make your target drink it and say in your spell what side effect he wants the poison to mimic. The poison kills you in a year, and the side effect only worsens until then.
That’s why he’s already tired when all he did is take a few steps. Kian cleansed his body of the poison. He felt something coming up and ran to his private bathroom. He threw up in the toilet.
When he was done his stomach hurt like hell. He scanned his body to make sure it was all gone. When he saw that it was he brushed his teeth and washed his face. He couldn’t even tell the last time he felt this good.
His family made him go through hell with those side effects when they could’ve just had him assassinated. But then again it would be suspect since they would have to come up with a reason to make him make Serena his heir.
When he was done he looked at his reflection. He had long phoenix eyes and narrow and thin eyebrows. He had wavy dark hair and icy blue eyes.
He carried an aquiline nose that complemented his prominent cheekbones. His pale skin was like the silk of white rose petals making his lips redder.
The reason he is so pale is that he had to stay away from the sun for so long. He looked at the sunglasses that had fallen when he ran to throw up and stepped on them. He went back to his office and tossed his coat and jacket on the couch.
He was always cold so he would always wear multiple layers. He likes three pieces suits, so from now on, he’ll stick to that. Kian looked around his huge office stunned. In this life, he was rich, and not only was he the president of Celestino Inc but the leader of CW.
He was the most powerful witch since he was half vampire, at least he was until his uncle poisoned him. Kian heightened the power of his core and made his vampire’s essence richer.
Once he did he let out a breath, this kind of power coursing through his body felt heady. His entire life he’s been weak and had to live in poverty but in this universe, he is the only heretic and he is stronger than all vampires and witches alike.
The entire company and Celestino’s inheritance belong to him. He doesn’t have to scrub dishes or wipe floors. In this universe he didn’t have to drop out of school at 16, he has all the knowledge a president of a company would have.
Kian swallowed, took a seat, and let out a breath. This feels so good to not have to run and worry every second about how he’ll pay the bills. If he wants this to continue he’ll have to deal with his family first.
Uncle Cayus, aunt Arabella, and cousin Serena are going to pay dearly. He chuckled, why did he think this would be hard? He wants to keep living this kind of life so if he has to kill then so be it.
The three of them murdered him and his mother, they’ll deserve everything they’ll get. Kian smiled darkly. ƒгeewebnovёl.com
When he heard a knock he pulled out a pair of glasses from his drawer, and said:
"Come in."
Cayus and Serena entered. They both glanced at the couch and then at Kian. They stood in front of the chair, waiting for Kian to allow them to sit. Kian tilted his head waiting for them to speak.
Cayus looked at the chairs and then at Kian thinking he would get the hint, but he didn’t. Even if he is his elder Kian is above him and every witch. To think his stupid sister left him in charge of Celestino Inc and CW.
It would be a lie to say that Kian isn’t good but she should’ve given it to him. But Lillian kept acting like Kian was special, that fool believed that he was blessed by the Wiccan Goddess. fɾeeweɓnѳveɭ.com
If that were the case it wouldn’t be so easy to get rid of him. In less than a month he’ll be dead, he thought that Kian would rest until then but as usual, he wanted to play the hero. It only made the world worship him more.
How can they worship an eighteen years old heretic? That’s ridiculous. Thankfully this will be over soon. He looked at his clothes and asked:
"Aren’t you cold Kian?"
Kian simply shook his head and asked impatiently:
"Do you need something?"
Cayus said:
"I’m sorry to bother you, I know that at this hour you get tired. I just wanted to tell you we’ll be leaving for Nova palace in two hours and you’re still not packed."
Kian grabbed his cell phone and called home. When the head butler answered he ordered:
"Have maids pack everything I’ll need for my time at Nova palace."
When there was silence at the other end. Kian asked:
"Did you hear me, Albert?"
He coughed and said:
"Of course master, I’ll have maids take care of it."
Kian said:
"If it isn’t you’ll be fired."
Before he could answer Kian hung up.
Kian looked at his cell phone and couldn’t stop himself from giggling. He always dreamed of saying that to someone, usually, people would say that to him. It feels good to be in charge, so good. His eyes flashed.
In the OG TL Cayus made it so he would have to go home to tell the maids what to pack, but when he arrived they were all busy. Since Kian was nice despite being the leader of all witches he packed himself and by the time they left he was exhausted.
He missed their welcome feast and that night, Cayus gave him more poison so he was asleep the entire time he was there. The day he could finally move, a beast managed to escape the shield of the stadium and killed him.
It was their plan, but this time a Nova executed it because he was in love with Serena. Once he is there he’ll deal with him too. Why does it feel so good to have this much power and be able to do what you want?
No wonder people are willing to kill to get their hands on it. Kian felt in a great mood, he can do whatever he wants, and he is the most powerful being in this universe.
He put down his glasses on his desk and looked at his uncle.
"Is there something else uncle?"
Cayus frowned then asked:
"Are you okay without your glasses and coat?"
"Uncle I don’t want to talk about my health anymore, it’s tiring."
Serena said:
"Father just doesn’t want your health to get worst cousin, please don’t be angry."
Kian tilted his head, his cousin is such a good actress. She’s also beautiful, no wonder Lucian wasn’t the only one to fall for her. His half-brother Elian fell for her first, so when she told him to open the shield for the beast to escape he did.
Kian said:
"I’m going to die in less than a month and nothing is going to change that. I just want to enjoy my time until then and act as though I have my whole life ahead. Is that too much to ask?"
Serena immediately said:
"Of course not cousin, we just don’t want you to be in pain."
"It’s worth it if I can feel like everyone else for a little."
Cayus said:
"I understand, I won’t mention it anymore."
Kian nodded.
"Did you need to ask me something?"
"I just wanted to talk about your decision to give up on the additional ten percent."
Kian said:
"I thought about it and decided that it’s not a good decision. We have more leverage than vampires, so why should we give up more than them? If we want to have a real partnership it has to be fifty-fifty, not sixty-forty."
Cayus and Serena felt stunned hearing that. It’s true, but Kian usually does everything they would tell him to when it comes to the treaty with the vampires because knows how much it meant to his mother.
Serena asked:
"What if the vampires refuse and backpedal?"
"They won’t, all they have is plants that witches use while we have their sustenance."
The only reason they want him to add another ten percent is so they can make a deal with the king. Witches only live half as much as vampires, but if a witch consumes a vampire’s blood at least once a month he’ll grow old slower and live just as long as them.
In the OG TL, the king agreed since it meant that his subject could feed for less money. He’ll only agree this time if they reduce their price too so witches can practice witchcraft without having to pay as much as they do.
He has way more leverage than the king so, of course, he won’t bow, even less so his uncle, aunt, and cousin can live longer.
He’s going to make their life a living hell as they did his before he rips them apart. Kian’s heartbeat quickened in excitement, here he is a god and no one can stop him. His eyes flashed.
