The Conquerors Path

"Don't think I will go easy on you."

I spoke with a chuckle to Krill, while he smiled slightly at my response, the light of competitiveness shining in his eyes as he spoke back.

"We will see, a man-on-man fight isn't all that easy if what you meant was backed by the tradition you know of."

His words just made me smile as I responded in a straight tone.

"We both know I know the meaning."

My words made the much more relaxed man chuckle as he spoke.

"Then all that's left is for us to pick a date."

His words made me nod as I spoke.

"Then I will let you know when I am free."

To my words, he spoke.

"You are leaving?"

"I'm a busy man, Krill. I have things I have to do."

To my words, he didn't say much, just nodding his head at me, the understanding in his eyes being more than enough for me as I turned towards Clara and spoke.

"Then let's head out."

Seeing Clara nod, I turned towards Nathalia, a light smirk on my face as I spoke to her.

"I will let you know my next free day when I have calculated my time."

These words of mine brought a light smile to her face as she spoke.

"Um... I will wait."

Saying so, Nathalia stuck close to Krisly, her hand holding Krisly's hand, to which Clara spoke.

"Don't worry, she will wake up in a few hours. She has had a tough fight, that's all."

The end of Clara's words was quite ambiguous, and its meaning was only understood by me and Clara herself. Her eyes met mine for a moment as she gave off a sneaky wink to me. Krill's words were followed after it.

"That's right, she did go through a tough fight."

As he said so, he lightly patted Krisly's head, to which I inwardly shook my head at it.

'She indeed went through a tough fight.'

Holding my thoughts to myself, both Clara and I walked out of the room, giving one final goodbye to the others in the room. Now it just being the two of us outside the room, with us already having refused to have Nathalia see us out, and it's within this that Clara leaned onto my ears, her words being whispered.

"Let's head to my place if you have time. I think I deserve a reward now, don't I?~"

The end of her words was suggestive, to which I replied.

"Sure, you do deserve a reward now."

These words of mine made her smile with a light blush as we soon walked ourselves out of this hospital-like building. The building itself is a practice place of a certain healing practice, one quite famous in the world. Thus, the two of us began our walk outside of this hospital, using a bit of my power to make our presence invisible to everyone around.

Thus the pace for the two of us was light yet happy as Clara quickly intertwined her hands with mine. She leaned her body to press her breasts against mine while the two of us walked in silence, enjoying each other's presence as we kept walking, the surrounding voices being the only indication that we belonged to this world.

"We need to do these more often."

Clara lightly whispered, and I remained silent a bit at her desire. I know for a fact that she wants to spend more time with us together being lovey-dovey, but I barely have time to deal with all of that, and above all, I can't just always go on outside dates with her. No matter how much I control my harem, there will always be that one percent chance of things going awry, one small mistake, and everything will fall like dominoes.

That's the main reason that I can't get rest at all. While I seem to be free at times, I am not free at all. For the free moments I have, I use it to check up on all the different women that I have with me, especially the ones that I have conquered.

The world is full of variables, and I can't control them all. There is always the chance that something or the other might go awry, and one of my already conquered women might meet, and things would then go to shit. It's a very real possibility due to the fact that all of them are within the Academy. Hence I always have to keep an eye on the different women.

I already had already acquired all the special bloodline and treasures I needed to keep an eye on the girls long ago during my travel. Even from a young age when I was here, I knew that I would need something to keep an eye on them—something very powerful and hidden that none of the girls would even be able to find out the fact that I was spying on them.

Thanks to the information part of the system, I can find the best places and treasures for my desires spread across the world, though at a steep price, but it's better than having to live my whole life not knowing when things would be fucked up. And the worst thing was the fact that I couldn't give this responsibility of keeping an eye on these girls to someone else.

Men are out of the question, and even if I keep a paid woman, things would still have a chance of going to shit.

'But things will turn for the better from now onwards.'

I mused as the two of us reached a very well-built and picturesque building. It not being as big and spread out as the one that I and Clara got out of, with the building in front of me being a one floor with good aesthetics and nice locations with a plaque at the top reading.

[Clara's Dark Healing Clinic]

Seeing the place, I smiled as I spoke to Clara.

"The place hasn't changed a bit."

To this, she replied.

"Well, I like it like this. It's the first thing I bought, and I have no desire for making it bigger."

To this, I just looked at the place, a lot of people coming to the place, seeing the closed signs, and walking away in disappointment.

"Looks like your customers have increased."

I spoke.

"Well, I am more famous now."

She replied with a smug tone, though the gentleness she always has for me filled her voice, the students in here, not the normal ones, ones with points and talent are capable of placing their clinics in the Healing sector. And this is a brutal place, where the different students try to grow their healing powers while at the same time competing to keep their business afloat.

"Shall we?"

She nudging on my shoulder a bit, to which I just shrugged my shoulder. Thus, with this, Clara started to pull at my hand, the magic to make us invisible all around still active as she brought me to the back of the building, opening up the door. She led me inside, bringing me to a well-furnished interior, all of them being quite well-fitting.

My eyes first came upon the receptionist and waiting area, after which my eyes finally landed on Clara's own check room. I didn't have to say anymore as Clara held my hand and pulled me into her check room where she checks up on her patients. That too is well-finished with her table and seating area being in the middle, similar to a normal hospital.

Though this room of hers is attached to a very luxurious bathroom, dressing room, and more. And just as she brought me to the room, Clara pushed me into the chair in the middle of the room as she whispered to my ears.

"Just wait for me here."

With that, she quickly left the room, leaving me in the seat left to my own thoughts.

'I guess the first part of the plan was a success.'

As one can guess, Clara did heal Krisly but not before killing her true inner self. The power and success of that all go towards the very Imperial that had chosen Clara. While the world had hailed her as a hero, there exists a much darker side to that demon Imperial healer that the world is not privy to and information that made me chuckle in disbelief at the fact of what that woman had done with her powers.

Clara is special in her own bit because, unlike the rest of my friends, she isn't all that good. Clara is willing to walk the path of any evil if it means to make me happy. Thus, unlike my other friends, I didn't have to be very careful in finding a good Imperial for her to accept from. Instead, I went out of my way to find the best that would help with my situation.

A very nasty-minded Imperial at that.
