Chapter 130 Bonding.
Chapter 130 Bonding.
Mykel and the others went back to the United States by riding on Alpha, Beta, Charlie, Delta, and Echo. It only took them two hours even though they could go faster than that, but Beldathiel and Anathiel wanted to look at Earth that different from the one in the novel.
Their appearance in the sky shocked the world because they had never seen the massive dragons with their own two eyes. It terrified them, but at the same time, they were amazed by how majestic the dragons were. It became a hot topic around the world, and people thought that it would be impossible to kill those dragons even with the technology they had.
Alpha and his siblings were flying around above New York City, showing how majestic and terrifying they were. People were too scared to go out because of them, and they were being terrorized by the dragons' roars and how loud their massive wings were when they flapped them. It was Mykel's idea to inflict fear and subdue the people that stayed in his city.
"Get some rest, you guys deserve it," Mykel said as he looked at everyone in the lobby. "If you want to go to the Empyrean World, just ask Amaryllis. If you need anything from me, I'll be in my room," Mykel continued.
They all left and went their separate ways since some wanted to go to the Empyrean World, and some wanted to go to sleep in their comfy beds. But Jeanne and Aurea followed Mykel to his room, and Mykel knew what they wanted to do.
The morning came, and Mykel went to the minibar to drink and looked at the mess in his penthouse. Aurea, Jeanne, Lyneth, and Beldathiel were in his bedroom sleeping, and in the living room, he saw Zherlthsh and all the other Demon Princesses sleeping on the sofas with nothing on their bodies. He never thought it would be tiring to satisfy all of them in a single night, but he somehow managed to do that.
"You were having a party?" Elena asked as she walked to the mini bar. "Just like the old times?" Elena chuckled as she sat next to Mykel and poured herself a drink.
"I should have just left and gone somewhere else," Mykel answered as he chuckled and put the glass on his bottom lip. "I promised to bring you somewhere once we are back. Should we go out now?" Mykel asked.
"I was about to ask you that," Elena said with a huge smile on her face.
Mykel and Elena quietly left the penthouse after Mykel grabbed his suit. Mykel then brought Elena to Niagara Falls, and it surprised her that something like that existed right under her nose. They silently watched the waterfalls and listened to the sound they made.
"Did you come here often back then?" Elena asked as he looked at Mykel smoking his cigarette.
"No. I spent most of my time inside my apartment, and after my novel became popular, I spent the rest of my time in a club, bar, fancy restaurant, and other things," Mykel answered as he turned around and leaned his back on the railing. "This was my second time here. The first time was when Sasha brought me here," Mykel added as he puffed the smoke.
Elena silently stared at Mykel and thought about the question that Mykel asked back then about what he felt about Sasha.
"What's your plan for her? It has been a few days since we talked about it, and I'm wondering what will you do," Elena asked as she leaned her back on the railing, copying Mykel.
"Based on what happened when you guys went to the portal in Australia, I think it's best to let her be," Mykel answered.
"I can tell, but what's your plan? I know that you have a plan for her. I want to know," Elena asked.
Mykel could hear that Elena was trying to force him to tell her everything. He wondered why she insisted on wanting to know his plan for Sasha and wondered why.
"I want her to get stronger since she has the powers of the Archangels on her. That's something that nobody could have, and I want her to get more of them as time pass by," Mykel answered.
"And?" Elena asked as she stood right in front of Mykel. "I think with her current power, she won't get any more power from them," Elena pointed out.
"She's like a sword..." Mykel paused as he looked at the cigarette in his hand. "She was forged in fire, she was shaped by all the struggles she endured, and she has been tampered with by self-determination. But a perfect sword will have to repeat the process over and over," Mykel continued.
"You want her to struggle and suffer?" Elena asked with her eyebrows furrowed.
"Yes. I will send more and more demons until everyone in the world won't have time to close their eyes. I want to see her struggle until the angels decided to give her more," Mykel answered. "Once I think it's enough, we will go to the last step for making a perfect sword. I want to polish her and then use her against the ones who gave her the powers," Mykel continued and stared Elena in the eye.
"What makes you so sure that she will be joining us?" Elena asked. "Wait, you're planning to manipulate her because she's still in love with you. You sent me there to show her that you still care about her and won't abandon her," Elena said and she had just realized that.
"Not entirely because I didn't know that she was still in love with me until she showed me with her own two eyes. I could see it in her eyes that she was in pain and how relieved she was when she saw me," Mykel nodded his head.
Elena was still wondering if Mykel still had a feeling for Sasha because the answer that Mykel gave her wasn't enough. But she tried to jump to the conclusion that Mykel was no longer in love with Sasha.
"If you still love her, you won't be doing that to her. So that means you no longer have feelings for her," Elena pointed out as she raised her eyebrows.
"Is that how you see it?" Mykel asked with a smile as he stared at Elena. "I don't think it has anything to do with my feelings if what I'm trying to do here is not only best for ourselves, but also for her," Mykel said. "As I said back then. I'm not getting my feelings and emotions involved in the plan," Mykel pointed out as he gently rubbed Elena's head.
Elena sighed as she grabbed the railing and looked at the waterfalls with a bit annoyed expression.
"But you haven't answered my question. Do you still love her?" Elena asked and looked at Mykel.
"No, but she's someone important in my life, just like you and little Sasha. The three of you are the only ones that are important in my life because you're all a part of me," Mykel answered as he flicked the butt of the cigarette into the water. "Love is the last thing that I want right now. I don't even remember when was the last time I fell in love, and I believe Sasha was the only one that I was in love with," Mykel continued as he turned around and looked at the waterfalls.
Elena rested her head on her arms that were crossed on the railing. She could feel the genuine feeling inside Mykel, and that made her so happy.
"Mykel," Elena said.
It caught Mykel off guard because suddenly Elena called him by his name. He looked around and didn't see anyone around and wondered why she called him by his name.
"Can I call you that instead?" Elena asked as she looked at Mykel shyly.
"Of course. I have never forced you to call me father or dad in the first place," Mykel answered with a smile. "I know that you don't want to be treated like a child anymore, so I think it's better if you just call me by my name instead of those two. You have called me that before, so that's not really a new thing," Mykel added.
Elena smiled, but then suddenly she wrapped her arms around Mykel's neck. Mykel couldn't move a muscle on his body and realized that she had wrapped him with her life energy. She slowly made herself look older and gently rubbed his cheeks.
"But do you still look at me like a child, Mykel?" Elena asked as she stared into Mykel's eyes.
