Chapter 193 - Im No Brother Of Yours (1/2)

”Stop acting like this isn't your fault!” Nicole's voice got heavier by the second but Arnold didn't give a flying fck about her anymore. His focus was solely on Nina and nothing else, but only if his luck was that good.

”Stop acting like a fcking bitch!” Arnold ultimately snapped, ”If you can't help me then shut the fck up or get lost!”

”Ar...nol...” Nina struggled to speak, to couldn't even say his name properly.

”Shh... don't talk.” Arnold looked into Nina's eyes and smiled at her wanly as she collapsed in his arms. Her breathing was getting heavier by every passing moment.

Arnold then quickly ripped off his shirt and held it over the wound, trying to put pressure on it. While he was desperately trying to stop the bleeding, Nicole stood there, intently looking at Arnold's every move.

”Shit, the bleeding won't stop!” Arnold quickly contacted Talos for help, ”Get Alice and come to the workshop right now!”

”But master, the ogres-” Talos tried to explain the situation in his end.

The ogres had gone Berserker due to heavy consumption of beast crystals. The automatons and humans were trying to get a hold on them off but the ogres were having none of it.

”I don't give a fck about the ogres! Take her and get here RIGHT FCKING NOW DAMMIT!”

”Master, I won't be able to bring her there even if I wanted to.” Talos calmly replied, ”She isn't inside the base at the moment.”

”Dammit, all!” Arnold lifted Nina in his arms and headed towards his room, the only part of the building that was still intact.

”I think you've caused enough damage.” Nicole stepped in between once again, ”She's my friend, and I can take care of her.”

”Can you heal her?”

”I can't.”

”Then get the fck out of my may, or you'll regret it for the rest of your life.” His cold fury burnt with dangerous intensity.

He never worried about Nicole's behaviour up till now but her frequent verbal fireworks and showers of red hot sparks were enough for Arnold to make a decision. Sister or not, it didn't change the fact that she had tried to kill him a few moments ago. It was these bitterly cold, slow-burning hateful feelings that threatened to engulf their relationship, once and for all. If it wasn't for Nina's condition, Arnold wouldn't have hesitated to deal with her right then and there. But for now, Nina's well-being took the priority over everything else.

”We have a lot to talk about,” Nicole mumbled and stepped aside but turn decided to enter his room along with them.

'You were right. I can't trust him anymore... not after the stunt he pulled today.' Nicole thought.

'It is unfortunate but... not surprising in the least.' Donna replied, 'After all, the paladins are known for attacking and killing each other. Although it isn't necessary to do that but... sometimes it's for the better. Maybe that's why he set the turret thingy to kill you.'

'You may be correct, but why the fck did you attack him!' Nicole was furious.

'Hey hey hey! It's not like I like controlling your body or anything, I just did what you didn't have the guts to do!'

'Fck off. You're not convincing anyone by saying that.' Nicole replied while she watched Arnold summon a monster.

The creature had a luscious body for which any man or woman regardless of their s.e.x.u.a.l preference, would immediately l.u.s.t after. Nicole, despite being America's strongest warrior, couldn't resist the creature's tempting body. Two sharp horns adorned the luscious beast's bowed head, who herself looked to be in a state of permanent smirking. The creature was barely wearing anything, flaunting her body to the spectators. Her outlandish armour only covered her weak spots leaving very little to Nicole's imagination. A serrated tail snakes behind it, chains dangle alongside it. Two cramped wings extend themselves fully.

'When did he tamed a succubus?' Nicole shook her head, trying to snap out of her charm.

'She ain't an ordinary succubus either.' Donna intervened, 'It's one of the three Queens. I'm telling you, your brother is nothing but trouble for us now.'

'Agreed... but you didn't try to mortally wound him right?'

'Yeah... kinda. I wanted to make his arms disappear that's all.' Donna replied.

'YOU WHAT!'

”Chill! It didn't work, did it?'
