Luck is a Charm

Zen stared deeply at Morgan Pelora who remained standing in his way.

Taking a deep breath, Zen turned solemn as he slowly snapped his finger. 

"You have forced me to do this, Morgan Pelora," Zen said as the essence flame started enlarging itself with some of the flame scattered around in the ground, creating a sizzling sound.

Eleanor watches on the side as she anticipates an awesome display of ability from Zen.

However, she didn't get to watch long as Morgan Pelora started speaking with a calm tone.

"Did you even know what my little brother did before you made your move against him?" Morgan Pelora asked Zen softly.

Zen twitched his mouth slightly as he decided to be kind and explained everything that happened from start to finish without leaving any details.

A few moments later, Morgan Pelora glared at Noel Pelora as she kicked his stomach.

"Wake up already," Morgan Pelora yelled at Noel Pelora, causing him to wake up from the pain as he stared around with a dazed look.

"S-Sister, what are you doing here?" Noel Pelora stuttered as he became extremely timid in front of Morgan Pelora.

His haughty and arrogant personality seemed to have vanished.

Morgan Pelora ignored his confusion and kicked his stomach again before asking him what kind of mess he made.

"What were you planning to do by bringing our family's mages here?" Morgan Pelora glared coldly at Noel Pelora.

Noel Pelora swallowed nervously as he took a few moments before explaining in a low tone.

"I-I was trying to get this house so we can create the grand building that Sister wanted for the plan you came up with." Noel Pelora stepped backward a little as some sweats could be seen dripping down his forehead.

Morgan Pelora heaved a soft sigh as she turned around and glanced at Eleanor softly before staring at Zen.

"I know my little brother's action previously may be unacceptable but we have obtained this little missy house with legal means." Morgan Pelora exclaimed as she retrieved a house deed from her spatial ring.

Afterward, she revealed the house deed for Zen to look at and prove that she wasn't lying.

Zen held a gawking expression as the address of the house deed was indeed true with its ownership sold to the Pelora Family.

'What the fuck is this plot twist?' Zen cursed inwardly as he glanced at Eleanor who was avoiding his eyesight at the moment.

Her action and behavior now have shown that Morgan Pelora's words were true without any false information.

However, Zen wasn't willing to admit his mistake yet since there was one thing he was in the right.

"The house that Eleanor claimed as hers may be wrong but that doesn't exclude the fact that Noel Pelora planned on violating Eleanor and then trying to sell her to a sex slave merchant." Zen cleared his throat as he exclaimed with an angry tone.

Morgan Pelora smirked at his response as she pointed at his little brother. 

"Indeed, Noel Pelora may be lustful to Eleanor but all he wanted was to marry her into the family, and what makes you think that he would be willing to sell Eleanor to some shitty sex slave merchant." Morgan Pelora said and Noel Pelora quickly nodded his head in agreement.

"Exactly, our family has already bought the house so Eleanor should have no place to live. Therefore, I suggest she marry me as the main wife because I will definitely treat her with extreme care." Noel Pelora shouted and continued.

"But who would have thought that all my efforts were not recognized by her and now, you also showed up out of nowhere and being extremely cozy with Eleanor. Thus, I got angry and ordered the mage to fire their spell on an impulse."

Zen almost had a headache from all this new information as he tilted his head to look at Eleanor who started acting timidly as she played with her fingers.

"Eleanor, be honest with me. Did Noel Pelora ever exclaim that he would violate you and then sell you to a merchant?" Zen asked softly while secretly hoping that Eleanor would answer yes.

Alas, Eleanor merely stuck her tongue out and shrugged her shoulders. "I forgot about it since Noel Pelora was just an annoying pest."

Zen was rendered speechless by her change of attitude. 

'What happened to the pitiful Eleanor that was being forced to evict her house?' Zen pondered inwardly before trying to get some clarification.

"Then about the house, did you sell it to the Pelora family already?" Zen glared at Eleanor who seemed to be struggling by her lie being exposed.

Eleanor raised her hand up since she had nothing else to say. 

'Damn it, those stupid people said Morgan Pelora was still in her house walking toward the Palace Moon Restaurant. Just how did she get here in time.' Eleanor cursed inwardly as her devious plan is now ruined with the appearance of Morgan Pelora.

Meanwhile, Zen was put in an awkward position now as he almost killed someone who was simply having a haughty expression and disgusting appearance without any malicious intent.

'Wait a minute… he did order the mage to fire a barrage of spells toward me even if it was an impulse. If I were an ordinary person then I would have been killed already.' Zen exclaimed inwardly as he smiled evilly.

"Morgan Pelora, let's just say it was a misunderstanding in the beginning but don't forget, your little brother almost got us killed if I didn't deflect it in time." Zen stared at Morgan Pelora with a smug expression.

Morgan Pelora nodded her head as this was something she couldn't deny at all.

"Since my little brother is indeed wrong but I hope you can forgive him." Morgan Pelora said softly before continuing.

"I will apologize on his behalf by treating you to dinner if that's fine with you."

"Deal, dinner it is then I shall be on my merry way." Zen was glad to get out of this awkward situation as he quickly grabbed Eleanor's hand before dashing away from the scene.
