Destroying My Own Novel

Asmond and Roxanne left with the document in their possession. They both were speechless and dumbfounded by the evidence that Nephilim gave them. They didn't know where she got all the information from, but they were so grateful that they would do anything for her in the future.

"Miss Evelyn is right, Asmond. We can't face them now even if we have all the evidence. We should think of a way to fight them and make the whole world go against the Guild Association," Roxanne said as soon as they both got in the car.

Asmond didn't say anything because he was occupied by his own thoughts.

"Even so, we hold no power in politics. Mykel is indeed strong, smart, and cunning at the same time. We are powerless in both power and strength," Roxanne said as she looked at how peaceful District 7 was. Everyone lived happily without worries especially after Mykel's team cleared the sixtieth floor of the Samael Tower. "I wonder why he did that..." Roxanne sighed.

"What do you mean by that?" Asmond asked and looked at Roxanne from the corner of his eyes.

"Just think about it from a different perspective," Roxanne looked at Asmond and pointed at the pedestrian. "These people live so peacefully, and not to mention his team has been clearing the tower every week. If Mykel really working with the Demon Princesses, why does he bother to clear the tower?" Roxanne asked.

Asmond looked at the pedestrian and thought about it for quite a while. Unfortunately, he couldn't find an answer because he couldn't think clearly of what happened today.

"I might have a plan, but it's dangerous though," Roxanne said.

Asmond hummed with curiosity and looked at her with interest.

"Why don't you go and visit Mykel? Try to confront him about his battle against the Demon Princess a year ago?" Roxanne asked. "Also, you can use your Nemesis skill to Mykel. You might get something from it," Roxanne continued.

"Meet him in person... I guess I'll have to try that," Asmond replied as he stared blankly at the road.

The next day, Asmond prepared to leave and decided to pay Mykel a visit on his own without his team knowing. He didn't want to bother with their training because they were being pressured by the media and the public about the Fraternity Association's credibility. They were preparing themselves for clearing the four towers that were possessed.

He had informed Mykel that he wanted to visit to voice his disappointment during the friendly match. The reason he did that was that he wanted his visit not to be suspicious. Mykel agreed to meet and told him to use the basement entrance since he knew Asmond would hate it if his visit got exposed.

Asmond met with Enma, and it surprised her since she didn't know he was visiting the Guild Association. She then guided him to Mykel's office, but on their way to Mykel's office, Asmond was surprised to see her as well. He thought she would be in the tower with Mykel's team, and she explained to him that she was no longer on the team.

"So you're now working under Miss Lyneth and not Mykel?" Asmond asked.

"Yes. I'm working solemnly for Miss Lyneth and have nothing to do with Mykel. In the first place, I came here because the money is good and the work is not as stressful as over there," Enma answered. "I have no interest in clearing the tower anymore since the people that I looked up to are dead," Enma continued.

"I see, I'm glad..." Asmond smiled with relief. "Ah, sorry. I mean I'm glad that you're doing well here," Asmond chuckled nervously.

Enma didn't even respond to his words and kept escorting him to Mykel's office.

Asmond kept staring at Enma and was curious if she was indeed telling the truth or not. He became so suspicious ever since that day, and since he could only use his [Nemesis] skill once a day, he thought it would be best to save it for Mykel. But, he might not have the opportunity to meet with Enma again since there would be no reason for Enma to see him anymore. He believed he would meet Mykel again someday in the future, and even sooner than he thought.

In the end, he ended up using his [Nemesis] skill on Enma because he couldn't let the opportunity go. When he looked at his status screen, he was surprised that all his skills got downgraded. He was so relieved that Enma was telling the truth, and all her skills level were still the same as back then.

"You can enter his office now," Enma said. "I'll take my leave then, President Asmond of Fraternity Association," Enma continued as she walked past Asmond.

Asmond entered the room and was taken aback when he saw Jeanne and Agnez sitting in front of Mykel at his desk. He thought that Mykel would be alone, and when those two saw him, they both immediately left the office.

"Did you wait long?" Mykel asked as he stood up and pointed his hand at the couch.

"Ah, no. I managed to have a small talk with Enma so I didn't realize that time passed by so quickly," Asmond answered as he sat down and looked at Mykel.

Mykel smiled as he kept staring Asmond in the eye as if he already knew the real reason why Asmond came to visit. Because of that, Asmond started to feel anxious and started to produce cold sweat under his collar.

"You said you want to utter your disappointment during the friendly match, but aren't you the one who accepted it even though I was only offering you to come?" Mykel asked. "I know you so well, Asmond. If you're disappointed, you'll keep it to yourself and will reflect on yourself. So, since you came all the way here to say you're disappointed, that's just... not like you," Mykel leaned his body forward as he kept staring at him with a suspicious smile.

Asmond was speechless and Mykel could read him like an open book which made things harder for him.

"Thanks to your specific underling who can't keep his mouth shut, I heard that you guys thought I'm tricking you and humiliated all of you on purpose. Well, if you're indeed here for that, then that means you're here because you're suspicious of how powerful my team is, isn't that right?" Mykel asked and kept pressuring Asmond.

Asmond was defeated, and all of his plans to remove Mykel's suspicions got blown immediately. It was as exactly as Roxanne said that Mykel was not only strong, but he was also smart and cunning. He should have known better since he had been with Mykel when he was clearing towers.

"A year ago, you fought a demon princess, right?" Asmond asked since he didn't have any more reason to hide it.

"Where did you get that information?" Mykel asked and his tone changed into serious, and his gaze as well. "Ah, I see where this is conversation going. You're thinking that I might be making a deal with that Demon Princess because you used your Nemesis skill during your duel with Sven isn't it?" Mykel put a cigarette in his mouth.

"Even if you deny it, I still don't understand why would you hide it from the public--the battle against the Demon Princess. Also, you were and still are the strongest Awakener that I know, so even though you told the truth or lie about you defeated the Demon Princess, I don't understand why you didn't exterminate the Demonic Cult after knowing how dangerous they are," Asmond replied and he was slowly collecting his courage back.

"I see, so you're speculating that I'm working for demons," Mykel puffed the smoke as he stared at the glass wall behind Asmond.

"Speculation? I have all the evidence that supports my words," Asmond replied as he clenched his fists.

"Your narrow-minded hasn't changed at all, huh? Asmond? If you think I would ask a demon for power, how deep have you fallen?" Mykel asked as he chuckled. "Well, since you can't believe my words anymore, let the Constellations judge your words since they have been watching," Mykel smirked.

Asmond was confused as he furrowed his eyebrows, and then thousands of notifications appeared right in front of him. He had never been experiencing that kind of attention from the Constellations before since Mykel made a deal with them beforehand. But since Mykel had given them the pass, all of them started to shower Asmond with their feelings toward the conversation they both had.

"Do you think I, the one who's favored by the Constellations would steep that low and ask the demons for power?" Mykel asked as he stood up. "What makes you think the power that can surpass the limit came from the demon in the first place? Do you think the Constellations couldn't do something like that? Looks like you just mock them indirectly," Mykel scoffed as he walked to his desk.

Thousands of notifications by the Gods appeared in front of Asmond. They were all angry, disappointed, furious, mocked, and even laughed at him because of his naivety. He was overwhelmed and terrified by it because every single one of them was supporting Mykel's words.

"How is it? The words of the Gods?" Mykel with his eyebrow raised. "Since you dared to come here and accused me, looks like we really have to cut ties for good, Asmond. You can leave and never come back here ever again," Mykel said with a serious expression.
