Psycho X Psychic
Chapter 222 - Opportunity
"You're awake."
That was the first thing Trisha heard after opening her eyes. She felt soaked and uncomfortable, but... it was infinitely better than what her last memory told her. She still feels hot but it could not even be called a fever even if she's just ordinary.
"That... was hellish..."
She commented before she sat up.
"How are you feeling?"
Teren then asked which she looked at him with a complicated expression.
"Fine?"
"Good, you can let go of my hand already."
Trisha looked at her right hand and found that it was tightly clutching Teren's hand. After a brief moment, she removed it with a jerk.
"What? Why!?"
Teren was finally able to wipe his sweaty hand.
"Your case is too severe that I have to intervene."
"You mean healing, right? But why the fuck do you need to hold my hand!? Last time, placing it on my shoulder is fine already, are you taking advantage of me!?"
Teren sighed and stood up.
"What are you on about? It's just holding hands. Don't forget that, soon, I'll have to sexually traumatize you."
"... I have no words towards the thickness of your skin, fucking rapist. But I think I'll be able to escape before you can do that."
Trisha smiled since she's aware of her new increase in power. This wasn't anything new to her. Every time she overcomes something, she will get stronger.
"Try escaping right now and that 'soon' will become now if you failed."
Teren threatened which didn't seem to have an effect.
Trisha laid back as if she's about to watch a cloudy sky.
"So you're saying there's still more before that?"
"Yeah"
Teren found that threats are no longer effective to her. After giving her one of the gravest fears she has ever experienced and overcome, she now has the ability to use that fear as a tool, he thought. Just a tool since she still feels fear since she still needs it.
If she has no fear, Trisha will always take suicidal actions without knowing it. By then, Teren will have to release her and consider it a failure. He hopes that wouldn't be the case but in the end, it's all just his assumptions.
"Okay, fine, I'll wait for it."
Trisha confidently said.
"Wait for it?"
"It's torture, yeah. But every hard work is being paid, right? This increase in power... I've never felt this way before. Is this why you kidnapped me? Is your need for power about to show up that you need to rely on me?"
'It's getting in her head...'
Teren thought but let it go since-
'But she's still not acting up against me right now. Although she got stronger, she's still full of talk. She's aware that she still can't beat me even though that she may have greater strength.'
"Whatever you say..."
Teren then just walked out since he have something to do. On his way out, he noticed the luxurious car. He was the one who made Alph go there.
'That guy doesn't know that we should be keeping a lower profile. Although having your company out there is good for marketing, it isn't good for me. He will let his company be absorbed by another but that doesn't mean he will be working under Jomar.'
Right now, like how Teren guessed, Jomar was placed in a tough situation.
'So this is the business prodigy running Wolfang. I knew it, it's too good to be true. Of course, there are consequences in absorbing the rival company... I would only be the figurehead.'
Jomar looked at Alph as if he's a monster in the field of negotiation. All of his offers, demands, and conditions were fair and beneficial, but not too beneficial that will attract suspicion. It was as if Jomar was just dancing in Alph's hands but as another prodigy, owning a successful corporation at such a young age, Jomar noticed this before he accepted the offer.
He looked at the bigger picture and saw that, in the end, it was still the Wolfang who will benefit. But the problem was... Joram has no choice either. Therefore, he shook the hand of the devil's underling.
Although Wolfang will have the most benefits in using their assets, if Jomar was to decline the offer, they will return to being enemies and his stubbornness will make his hard-earned company be chipped away little by little.
In short, Jomar has submitted surrender in order to survive. That's when he heard-
"With that settled, I was told to tell you that you should sleep somewhere else tonight."
Meanwhile, Teren went to where he met Nature.
"Good evening, Teren."
But just as he stepped into an unpopulated area, Nature showed up.
"Hello, Nature."
Teren greeted back.
"Are you here to meet me?"
"I have a request. Is that fine?"
"... as an apology for letting someone destroy your work, I will do you a reasonable favor."
Thinking back about the Nuke Empress, Nature felt in need of an apology so she accepted even though it's against her usual way.
"If you don't mind, I want us to discuss this in the gazebo I've made."
Nature then disappeared into the light woods after saying such words.
"'If you don't mind' but she just disappeared before hearing my opinion. She just knows formal words without knowing why they are formal in the first place."
Teren muttered but didn't mind it that much. He need this time of the night too where he's walking by his own. Soon, he was dazed by the beauty that sat within the gazebo.
Earlier, he didn't look at her that much, but now, her beauty can really sway anyone even Teren. However, this effect didn't last long as Teren walked into there and talked about the favor he wants Nature wants to do.
After hearing about it, Nature responded.
"Teren... that's a bit questionable."
"That's why I'm doing it. So... can you do it or not?"
"Can I do it is not the question, it's will I do it and of course, I will since I've already gave you my word. So give me the name."
The name of Trisha's mother then came out Teren's mouth.
