Transmigrated as Baron, Married with my Lovely Maid-Chapter 89

"A-atreuss...! Please...! Forgive me...!"

Ela’s fear grew, making her prostrate herself to me in tears.

To hell with her cries.

She’s the one who started my suffering by slandering me, ending the career I’d built for 17 years just like that.

Not to mention all my possessions and assets she seized under the pretext of domestic violence, which I never committed.

Even my own child doesn’t trust me and refuses to consider me her father.

And now she’s asking me to forgive her after all her crimes, her taunts, and even her abuse of Leysha?

Presumptuous!

SLAP!

SLAP!

SLAP!

I slapped Ela three times in a row, so hard that she fell to the ground.

I saw her cheeks redden with pain, and she stared at me blankly.

To hell with her pitiful face.

I could feel that my car and other financial assets, which she had seized, were now back in my hands, as they had indeed been part of the bet.

And Ela’s pale face clearly indicated that all her possessions were now gone, transferred to my possession.

"What’s wrong, Ela? Where’s your husband? Isn’t that what you usually do when you’re cornered? Isn’t he richer than me? Isn’t he the most feared in this city?" I asked repeatedly, but Ela was stunned and couldn’t answer.

Her body was trembling with fear and her tongue was numb, unable to utter a single word.

She fell silent in resignation as she looked at the small spirit ball floating in my hand, which turned out to be the essence of Ela’s soul.

"Look, Ela... your soul is in my hands. It feels like holding rotting garbage...!" I said coldly.

"A-atreus... please... give me a chance to fix this... Don’t you want to see ur daughter suffer meaninglessly because of this...? W-what will happen to her if I’m not around...?" Ela was still pleading with me.

I chuckled at her reasoning.

"Ah...my child? Is she still my child? Doesn’t she no longer consider me as his father?"

"N-no...! It’s not like that, Atreus! I think it’s just a matter of time and-"

"Ah yes...of course, because she fell for your slander, Ela...! How could I forget that...!"

"I-I know this is just a misunderstanding and I can explain it...! Please think again, Atreus...! Look at your new wife...! Can she bear children like me? No! I’m much better than her! Please! Give me a chance...!"

SLAP!

I delivered a swift slap that landed hard on Ela’s cheek.

Ela winced again in pain as she held back her tears, not expecting me to immediately slap her back.

Well, she got what she deserved for mocking my wife.

"Leysha is pregnant with my child... and I know her child will be much better than yours, bitch..." I said, holding Leysha and stroking her stomach briefly.

Ela gasped in shock, her hopes of me melting instantly dashed.

"What did you say about your child? Don’t you have a new husband? Where is he, Ela? Call him. You need his help, don’t you?"

"I...I..."

"WHERE’S YOUR HUSBAND, ELA?! ANSWER ME!" I jerked violently.

"I-I DON’T KNOW, ATREUS...! HE’S PROBABLY DEAD OR WENT GONE TO THE WORLD I DON’T KNOW...! PLEASE FORGIVE ME...!"

Ela, startled, froze in shock and then cried hysterically.

But Leysha and I stared at this bitch with cold eyes.

Neither Leysha nor I felt the slightest bit of pity for her because this cunning and evil woman had truly destroyed not only me but also many innocent people for her own personal desires.

And we both knew that her arrogance would end when Dezy, a.k.a. Ulrich, was helpless because his soul was in my hands.

I showed Ela the small spirit ball in my left palm, her core soul.

Ela shuddered in fear, seeing her life completely in my hands.

"...killing you feels too ’good’ for me. When you die, you might forget all the suffering and loss you’ve suffered from your defeat this time," I said softly, making Ela’s gaze sparkle, hoping for my forgiveness.

"A-Atreus...then-"

"You will live on...as a poor, suffering person."

"W-what...?! No...! Atreus, forgive me...!"

’WOOSH...!’

Ela’s figure slowly froze, unable to move as she gently squeezed her core soul.

She cried and wailed, begging me for forgiveness even as every joint and nerve in her body grew numb.

"After this...your life will be homeless, Ela. Good luck with that," I said, ending the conversation.

"Atreus...! No...!"

A few seconds after Ela’s scream, silence fell.

Ela no longer moved or made a sound.

She was frozen, like the billionaires and everyone else in the Rainville Building.

Leysa and I looked around in silence.

We both sensed something was amiss.

"The Death Game is over, and Ulrich Aurelius has lost. Why are the people in the Rainville Building still frozen under the effects of Zeraxion’s time and dimension spell?"

I continued to observe the billionaires in the hall, frozen in their final positions.

"...it seems the Zeraxion curse is still in effect even though Ulrich Aurelius has been defeated, Baron Atreus. There’s possibility that Zeraxion still alive even he’s currently being sealed." Leysha responded.

"Then we have to look for it... I seem to recall catching a glimpse of its location..."

"There, Baron Atreus."

Leysha pointed out a special elevator hidden in Ulrich’s VVIP room.

As I looked at the special elevator, I could feel the Black Star in my right palm pulsating, reacting to the hidden call to it.

Now that I think about it, The Great Wyvern once told me about a dragon sealed in my world, and it turns out that dragon is Zeraxion, the dragon that controls Time and Dimension.

Oh...a descendant of Vermillion? By the grace of time and dimensions, I never expected this meeting to happen.

It seems this is a real twist of fate.

The dragon’s roar that echoed throughout the Rainville building immediately put Leysha and me on alert.

There was no way the voice was artificial because I could sense magical power behind it, not to mention that it made the Black Star in my right palm throb even more.

"Zeraxion... I will meet you. I hope you don’t welcome us with malicious intent," I called out, hoping my voice reached Zeraxion.

A while later, I heard the dragon chuckle.

Evil or not, it’s always relative in the ever-changing time and dimensions, Vermillion. For us dragons, we only need one thing: the right to be worthy of being with us. Come to where I am miserably and humiliatingly sealed in the secret underground of this cursed building, Vermillion. I will welcome you and your wife warmly.

The voice stopped.

The Black Star in my right palm no longer throbbed as hard.

The aura of magical power that had previously been gripping and oppressive subsided instantly.

Judging from the flow of the dragon’s magical power, it was now flowing and focusing on the secret underground.

"Leysha, let’s go," I said, gripping Leysha’s hand tightly.

"Okay, Baron Atreus." Leysha steadied herself, and the two of us walked toward the private elevator hidden in Ulrich’s VVIP room.

I caught a glimpse of someone speeding past as I entered Ulrich’s VVIP room.

I paused for a moment, looking back, checking to see what, whatever it was, had just passed me.

"Baron Atreus, what’s wrong?" Leysha asked.

I remained silent, wanting to confirm what had just passed me, but there was no answer.

Even the flow of magical power vanished instantly.

I hoped it was just a fleeting feeling.

Because if not, I was worried Zeraxion was plotting to trap me and Leysha.

"...it’s okay, Leysha. Stay alert, okay?"

"Okay, Baron Atreus...!"
