Chapter 64: Even the Admins Thinks Twice
Chaos-Borns had dominion over the tower upon their presence. Each of them was the heir to the tower. Of course, none of them would attempt something as arrogant as taking Chaos's tower, but the admins created by the creator himself were terrified of these people.
It wasn't because they thought they would die or for any other reason, they just had a huge respect for them, and angering them scared the admins who were practically rulers.
"Sigh...What do you want?" Leyla suddenly asked, in a way she was proud of the young man in front of her, it was quite astonishing how well he was using the position he was in, it was beyond perfection how much he had changed and developed in such a short time.
"A favour. A favour that will not force you to kill when the time comes, or a favour you can refuse in exchange for your wishes." James replied.
Leyla, who smiled after these words, asked, "You have no idea what a favour is, do you?" James, who heard them, sneered and then replied, "Not really, that's why I said you can refuse it."
Ronald, who had listened to what had happened until that moment, nodded his head and then said, "I agree. If we are not forced to kill someone and we can refuse the request, there is no reason for me not to accept."
Leyla, who was caught in the middle after these words, put her hand on her face and said, "Alright, it's okay for me too."
James was happy seeing that what he said was accepted by the admins themselves but at that moment he suddenly remembered something:
"Oh by the way, we still have to inform Lady Nyx, after all, we have to catch the criminals. If instead of saying I'm dead, you say I survived the assassination attempt, it will be enough to drive Olympus and the Chaos-Born mad." James suddenly said, and with these words, the two administrators seemed to nod in agreement.
With that, James, who had smiled, got up from the bed and changed his clothes, of course, he told Leyla to turn around first.
After getting dressed, he turned round again and asked, "Then I think this day is over, don't you?" When he saw Ronald nodding, he suddenly left the room and saw the message window immediately opened in front of him:
[I WAS ABOUT TO LOSE MY MIND!!!]
James stopped for a few seconds when he read what was written and then laughed out loud:
"PUHAHAHAHAHA!!!"
When this laughter was reflected in the entire hospital corridor, he wiped the tears from his eyes and then uttered the following words that would make all Chaos-Borns connect to him:
"Gosh I really do not want to die, I am afraid that I will lose you beautiful people!"
For several minutes after those words no message window appeared in front of James' eyes, it was like a silence where he was truly on his own, yet even if he didn't know it, Olympus was in an uproar, his words had caused more realisation than he had expected.

"He died, hasn't he?" Apate asked, her brow furrowed.
"He must be, should we ask him if he has the Philosopher's Stone?" added Hades with great surprise.
"I don't know, but if he doesn't want to tell us, there must be a reason, it's not something we should be involved in no?" said Hypnos.
After that, all eyes turned to Nyx, what she would say was very important.
Nyx paused for a few seconds, opened a window to send a message to James, and then spoke:
"Is there something you want to tell us, James?"
-----
[Is there anything you want to tell us, James?]
James scratched his head as he looked at another message window that had appeared in front of him and then smiled and said, "No, my lady, I was just worried since I was very injured, everything is fine."
However, the gods watching him could tell that James didn't want to talk about it. That's why each of them shut their mouths and chose not to talk about it even for the moment. After all, if James didn't want to talk, there was no point in forcing this issue on them.
[Alright then, what are your plans now?]
When another window opened in front of him, James smiled and then said, "I want to find Miss Ariel for the moment, I need to talk to her and consult with her about what is going on...Ah! In the meantime, please wait for the news that will come to you, Ronald will come to you with news that you will not like."
No one understood what he was trying to say with these words, but when James said this, a passage formed in the hall.
When Ronald came out of the passage, everyone seemed surprised, no one expected him to come after what James said.
"Ronald?" When Nyx said his name in surprise, Ronald dropped to his knees and bowed his head, then said, "I have some news for you, my lady, and I hope you won't be too angry with me."
When Nyx heard those words, her eyes turned to the void itself. Every single person in the room, including her own children, turned their eyes away from Nyx. The goddess was clearly upset.
"You will tell me everything that happened Ronald, if I see that you have missed a single thing I will do everything in my power to finish you, never forget that." Nyx suddenly said, and even these words were enough to frighten Ronald.
He might be stronger than Nyx, but the child of Chaos would always be the child of Chaos. That meant Nyx could stand up and go to Chaos and beg his father to kill Ronald.
The fact that even this was a possibility was one of the main reasons why the rulers feared Chaos-Borns.
Ronald was very clearly aware of this.
