The Rise of the Black Plain-Novel

The moment Zoe heard Minos' comment, she looked at this fellow and then at Gloria's belly, which was already showing, even considering her clothes.

"Big sister! Your belly is already showing!" Zoe shouted as she returned to the ground after Minos deactivated his technique.

"Hmm, I'm slowly gaining this new shape..." Gloria commented with a smile on her face as she saw her cousin approaching her.

After a moment with this young woman ignoring Minos, Ruth, and Abby, she finally embraced that beautiful redhead, gently massaging Gloria's belly with this woman's permission.

Zoe then looked at Minos and made a serious face. "So you are the father... You were very clever to get my cousin pregnant to tie her to you!"

"Wasn't it the other way around?" Abby asked in a low voice while Ruth involuntarily smiled in agreement.

"What are you people saying? Do you think my cousin would do something like that?" Zoe let go of Gloria and commented in defense of this woman.

Minos then said. "Well, I guess you didn't study physiology at the spiritual academy, huh? Don't you know that a woman has total control over her fertility?"

"That..." Zoe turned red, but then she heard Gloria's voice. "Don't talk such nonsense, Zoe. My pregnancy was a good accident for both of us. Minos didn't do it on purpose."

​ "Anyway," She shook her cheeky face and looked at Minos. "Are you here to assume your responsibilities? Did you come to give up the bet you made with aunt Margot?"The source of this content is Novᴇ(l)Fɪre.net

"Of course not," Minos casually replied. "I will win the bet I made with that woman, so why would I give it up?"

"Tsk!"

A distinct sound came from where Margot was listening to their conversation on the other side of that property.

Zoe, who her aunt had warned of the arrival of these people earlier, then ignored Margot's sound of displeasure and asked. "So, what are you doing here?"

"I have my freedom to go wherever I want... So why wouldn't I come? I am a leader in my region, so I am here to enjoy the advantages of the Empire." Minos commented while he led his group into the interior of that residence.

'What an intrusive person! I didn't even invite him, and he's already walking in!' She thought about it as she observed Minos' manner, ignoring his comments regarding his job as leader of the Black Plain.

But then she turned to Ruth and Abby, "What about you? Who are you?"

Just as Gloria was about to introduce her harem sisters, Margot appeared coming down a hallway, answering her niece's question. "Those, Zoe, are the other wives of your cousin's husband."

"Other wives..." She made a slightly more serious expression, still not believing that Gloria had accepted such humiliation.

"Hmm, my name is Ruth..."

"And I'm Abby."

The two introduced themselves shyly, feeling embarrassed to introduce themselves to someone from Gloria's family.

But then Margot ignored these women and looked at Minos. "So you're going to win our bet, huh?"

"Sure, it's only a matter of time before that happens..." He smiled as he sat down on a white sofa, certain that such a woman would realize that he was not just being confident.

And indeed, Margot realized this as she sensed that Minos was almost at level 62.

Considering the time that had passed since his passage through the Black Plain, she could see that he had had an incredible pace at the 7th stage even though he had spent most of his time in the northern region.

'This little boy... He's not bluffing!' She silently looked at him, feeling that the odds were against her on that bet. 'If he continues at this cultivation speed, he will reach level 70 before the end of our agreement!'

"You tricked me." She said in a low voice as she looked thoughtfully at Minos.

"I tricked you?" Minos smiled. "I made a bet because I knew I would win. What kind of idiot bets on something as problematic as that without having great odds in his favor?"

"Not to mention that you are the expert with thousands of years of experience, not me..." He suggested that this was all her fault for making a bet with a young rascal.

Margot closed her eyes as she heard this, feeling the weight of Minos' words and wanting to punch him a little.

But then Gloria took one of her hands and placed it on her belly. "Feel that, mother. My baby is already starting to grow.

Margot calmed down as she felt the little creature growing inside Gloria's belly and looked at her precious daughter.

"A girl, huh?" She murmured in a low voice, revealing something that Minos and his women did not yet know.

"A girl?" Ruth and Abby looked at each other, while Gloria looked at Minos with a smile on her face.

After hearing that, Minos had lost his usual calm look and now seemed a little more agitated by this information regarding his first offspring.

He had not yet thought about the sex of the baby, but with this information, he could not help but feel closer to her, already starting to think of names.

Meanwhile, Gloria sat on his lap and hugged him, quickly bringing her lips to his, feeling good about finding out such information.

If someone asked her, Gloria would say that she would prefer a boy since she wanted to give Minos an heir, as well as someone who reminded her of him. But she had not been raised in a place where gender mattered in the line of succession, so knowing that she would have a girl was not bad.

Whether a girl or a boy, this baby would be her and Minos' child and would invariably have characteristics of the father to remind her of the great times she had with him.

So, she gave Minos a passionate kiss, happy, while ignoring her family in the area.

"A granddaughter, eh?" A deep, husky voice sounded in that place as a man with white hair, who looked young, appeared next to Margot while he had a serious expression on his face.

"Father!" Gloria cried out in surprise as she parted her lips from Minos', feeling embarrassed that such a man had seen her on her husband's lap, kissing him in that previous manner.

Hence, she quickly stood up and pulled Minos by one of his arms so he could stand next to her in front of that level 79 individual.

"Minos, this is my father, Joseph." She indicated to him while trying to contain the redness on his face.

"Oh? So that's my father-in-law..." Minos smiled and showed one of his hands to the white-haired fellow in front of him, not feeling intimidated by his presence.

"You must be Minos Stuart..." Joseph Frost looked Minos up, down, and then up, trying to judge the figure of this young man.

But he could not understand why Gloria had chosen this person or why Minos was so talented. Not only that, the fact that such a person had impregnated his daughter so easily was a surprise to him, considering the high talent and considerable level of this young redhead.

'Maybe he was blessed by the heavens with a lot of luck?' He wondered as he looked quizzically at Minos.
