Blessed by Night

Chapter 36: Dinner Plans & Failure

Malachi felt the urge to smile stupidly when he heard such genuine praise from his idol.

Really was there anything that could make this moment better?

"If you and the lady are interested, would you like to have dinner with my wives and I to celebrate?" Morgan offered.

'It just got better!'

Before Malachi got too excited he looked down at a still blushing Sei in his arms.

"Would you like to go?"

Sei could naturally tell that Mal was trying to rein in his excitement but his eyes not hidden by his glasses were extremely telling.

'He can be so cute sometimes.' Sei smiled inwardly.

"I would be honored." She bowed politely to Morgan.

"Come now, it's just dinner." Morgan waived away her polite gesture. "And of course you all are invited as well." He said gesturing to Aisha, Aubrey and even Luna.

Aisha and Aubrey looked at each other briefly before Aisha spoke, "We… actually have plans already."

Malachi raised a brow at this, but he did not comment.

Luna thought a bit and she really had nothing better to do than stay at home and play with her magical beast.

"I will accept your invitation." Luna nodded.

"Wonderful!" Morgan seemed to be truly excited. "Then I'll send a car to pick you all up from Malachi's house at eight."

With that, he waved goodbye to the group and prepared to head home.

"What sort of plans do you two have?" Malachi hurriedly activated protective big brother mode as soon as Morgan departed and directed it at Aisha.

"I-Its just dinner!" Aisha hated the knowing look she was currently getting from Malachi.

"Oh? Well you could've just had dinner with us don't you think?" Malachi prodded.

"Aisha got us reservations at a really nice restaurant!" Aubrey smiled.

Malachi wanted to be more upset but… it truly has been a long time since he'd seen her be so carefree.

Aisha was getting his sister to smile more and more everyday it seemed like.

"Fine but you can only go on one condition." Malachi said sternly.

"Which is?" Aubrey asked curiously.

Malachi pointed at Aisha and said, "You better eat until her wallet is empty."

"Pfft… sure!"

After that, the group separated a bit.

"So tell me, why is Malachi Saint still alive?"

Sierra hesitated for a moment as she seemingly tried to come up with an acceptable answer.

Truthfully, she'd done as much as she could despite the circumstances.

She killed all the monsters inside the gate with her telekinesis so as not to leave any visible wounds and raise suspicions.

She'd even taken care to mimic their actual behavior and hide them under the sand for an ambush.

Her personal undead army was off limits since they were much too recognizable and with a camera man there recognition was the last thing they needed.

"I-"

Sierra didn't even finish her sentence before Alex had his hand around her neck and lifted her up into the air.

"Idiot! An entire army of undead at your command yet you couldn't kill one fucking rookie?!"

She wanted to say that Malachi's weird flames seemed to be her power's natural weakness as they not only destroyed her undead, they also burned up her energy.

"Useless!" Alex roared and hurled the young woman into the nearest wall.

Bang!

Her body collided hard with the solid surface, and she fell weakly to the ground while coughing furiously.

Suddenly, Alex stomped her head into the ground and ground his heel into her skull.

"Fucking worm! You whine about wanting to be free from me but you can't do the one fucking thing I ask of you?!"

Sienna simply held her breath as she tried not to cry.

She was seen as a strong, dependable woman by many and yet she turned into a weak little girl when it came to this man in front of her.

All she could do was try not to be even more pathetic by crying.

"Give me the drops." Alex ordered as he removed his shoe from her head.

Sienna shakily took out a golden storage ring that was filled with various items that rightfully belonged to Immortal Moon.

"So you can do some things right." Alex snorted in contempt and began to walk away.

He stopped at the ruined remains of his desk where he picked up his tablet that was still open to the latest news articles about Malachi.

He picked it up and scrolled angrily throughout several stories that were all saying the same thing before he stopped as he saw a photo of Malachi and a beautiful woman.

'It's a shame… an entire guild under my control and yet I have to do everything by my goddamn self.'

Tossing the tablet to a slightly recovered Sierra, he gave her another set of orders.

"Find out everything you can about that woman, and try your damndest not to fuck that up too." He growled.

Sierra swallowed and took the tablet before she shakily exited his office.

Selene saw the state of the woman when she walked past her to enter the elevator and could not help but raise her brow in surprise.

'Huh, I guess I called the janitor for nothing.'
