Raising A Few Wives in a Beast Apocalypse-Chapter 83: Jack’s proposition?

The next morning....

Everyone had gotten up, including those who had fainted. Jade and Hope were mostly fine. Chloe though, her body was slightly painful and felt fatigued despite her mana being full.

"I’m sorry" Hope apologised to Chloe as she cast her healing spell on her.

"I told you already that it’s fine. Although things went out of control from what I heard, but at least I realised so much potential because of it right. Since no significant damage was done, I’d say it might have even been a blessing in disguise," Chloe replied to Hope’s hundredth apology since she woke up, which was less than thirty minutes before.

"Even if you say that, what I did was wrong. I will always regret it. But still, thank you for forgiving me" Hope spoke while continuing her healing on Chloe, her eyes teary.

"Come here," Chloe said while pulling Hope in for a hug. She wasn’t nearly as angry about it as Hope thought she was, in fact, she wasn’t angry at all. She meant everything she said about seeing the incident as a blessing in disguise. Who knows when she’d have gotten to 99% potential realisation otherwise? And she had no memory of what happened when she went berserk anyway.

"Sigh, I wish I was awake to see the rampage, though", Jade commented from the side. Having been told what happened by Emily, she really felt like she missed out on something amazing. Not to mention that there will likely never be another chance ever again, which made her even sadder.

"You can just have a battle with Chloe in the future if you’re so interested; that should give you a taste, at least", Emily chimed in while rolling her eyes.

"Ah! You’re right! Chloe! you and I will have a battle right after we’re done with this, okay?" Jade half asked and half told Chloe about wanting a battle with her.

"Sure, I wasn’t conscious for the last one, so yeah, okay", Chloe readily agreed. She also wanted to see her "op" abilities as the others put it, in action. Beasts were fun to fight, but their intelligence took away some of the fun from the battle. So fighting Jade in her new beast form should be quite fun.

"Great!, now will this thing go any...ahh!"

Bang!

"You brute! How could you treat a delicate lady like myself like this?" Jade exploded out in anger, looking at Muku, who had his eyes closed and was sitting on the ground.

Currently, he was moving the mansion closer to the university. And since he’d gained a bit of experience in it, it wasn’t as hard as before so he was aware of his surroundings. Hearing Jade complain about the speed when it was already hard enough to keep it up and move it really pissed him off. And so, a telekinetic wave burst from him, and before Jade realised it, she had been smashed into the wall. Of course, it wasn’t a too-strong wave, or it would have hurt....the wall.

"Honestly, Jade, you brought this one on yourself...like usual", Emily commented while sighing.

"Tsk, whatever" Jade replied while going back to her seat. She swore to herself for the thousandth time that she’d get back it him one day for bullying her... even if she caused it. What self-respecting man would be so petty with a cute girl like her?

.....

"Hey, look at that!" A random dude within the university safe zone screamed while pointing in a certain direction.

"What the hell!?" Another voice screamed.

"A ghost mansion!?"

"The vampire king’s castle!?"

"Shut up, you idiots, this isn’t that kind of novel! Someone go notify leader Jack. I’m sure he’ll know what to do" A calmer voice sounded, calming down the others a bit though they could sense some unease even in the voice.

"He’s right, some go, quick!"

"Who are you telling to go? you go!"

"Tsk shut up all of you, I’ll go myself" Seeing that these idiots didn’t even want to go, the calm voice went instead.

.....

"Oh, a floating mansion is floating toward us from the North, huh? Well don’t worry about it, go notify the others to stay calm. It’s nothing dangerous, I’ll join you all in a bit. And thanks for notifying me" Jack instructed the guy who came to notify him.

"O-okay leader". The man replied before taking his leave; he was still feeling uneasy but still did as he was told. With leader Jack joining them soon, everything should be fine... probably.

....

"So they finally came huh?" Sarah, who was standing beside him, asked. Her personality has been calmer ever since the last time they had contact with the mysterious group.

"Seems so, and what an entrance they made. Let’s go greet them," Jack replied while getting off his seat.

"But we were preparing to carry out the plan today, though," Sarah said; she was unwilling to meet those monsters.

"Don’t worry, it can still be done. I doubt they’ll have much to talk to us about. But as the leaders, we have to meet them or we won’t be able to take it if they felt angered by it and attacked. Although I don’t think they’d be so unreasonable, it’s better to be safe than sorry right?" Jack explained to his girlfriend why they should be there.

"Sigh, fine, we’ll go; I just hope nothing goes wrong", Sarah finally relented.

"Great! Let’s go", Jack spoke while taking Sarah’s hand into his own and leading the way. He could tell that she was still shaken from the last time, so he hoped that this would calm her down a bit. Which, thankfully, it did.

....

"So this is the other safe zone, huh? The people here seem a lot less gloomy than those at the stadium. Not to mention stronger" Audrey said as they were walking toward the university.

"Maybe because there are a lot of hot-blooded young people here, it affected the rest positively. Unlike the stadium where it’s mostly chickens that dare not step out of the barrier." Muku replied with a smile. He liked this place better than the stadium just for that very reason. It’s better to see people who struggle to live than leeches.

"We seem to have drawn quite the crowd" Hope spoke nervously. Being stared at by so many people was something she could never get used to no matter what.

"Yeah, want to hold my hand?" Chloe replied while extending her hand to Hope like a good friend. Truth be told, she was also a little nervous.

"Well, I think you’d be looking too if you saw people come out of a floating mansion", Jade spoke; she was a lot more relaxed about the situation than even Muku was. The others silently envied her carefree personality. The only one who seemed as relaxed about the situation as her was Layla who didn’t seem to even acknowledge the presence of all the people around them.

"Don’t worry, everyone, I can sense the leaders coming; we should be out there for their eyes soon enough", Muku spoke, trying to calm the girls. He could somewhat understand the people looking at them.

They were both curious and wary of his group, since they didn’t know their intentions yet, they chose to watch from a distance. Some had seen his group last time and heard about what happened to Dean’s group who quickly ran and hid after confirming it was them. Some surprised murmurs were also mixed into the noisy group of people; it was from those who knew Elsa from before and could hardly believe how differently she looked in just two days.

"Ah, if it isn’t Mr Muku and company. Welcome back! Would you like to join us inside for a chat?" Jack came out with his own people behind him wearing a slightly forced smile. He had heard about how it’s hard to punch a smiling face and thought maybe he might as well try it out.

"Oh, it’s leader Jack, thank you for welcoming us even though you’re likely a busy man. And we would definitely love to have a chat with you, so lead the way, please," Muku replied with a smile on his face. The others from his group really wondered how he could switch gears so easily from his usual personality, which was quite laid back to this glib-tongued one. They didn’t know that it was something he had to unwillingly learn to do after being paraded all those years as a child genius. He might not have survived it all otherwise. But that’s his dark history they will likely never learn about any time soon.

....

"Sorry to be blunt and presumptuous but....is there something my people can help you with?" After they entered the large meeting room and took their seats, Jack immediately jumped to the major question he and his people wanted to know.

"Like I said before, I really like how smart Leader Jack is, and because of this, I respect you. So I’ll also be straightforward with you. Yes, there are two things your group can help us with, well more of one, really; the other one can just happen naturally. You see, my comrade here has a little sister who needs some unranked beasts to evolve. And since I know that information is really precious, especially now, I’m willing to give you some Half-step beast meat for it, or a reasonable favour." Muku also got to the point and told Jack their reason for being there.

"Oh, is that so? Luckily for you, Mr Muku, we just happen to have the information you need. But before that, let me give you a proposition that will not only get you your unranked beasts but even more" Jack replied with a smile. He and his group were a lot more calm now knowing that Muku’s group wasn’t there to seek trouble with them. He even saw it as an opportunity to address an issue that had been stressing him for a while.

"Oh, is that so... Well, you’ve definitely piqued my interest, so please, do tell", Muku replied, looking at Jack with a curious gaze. His whole group also had curious gazes, wanting to know what the proposition Jack had was.
