Villain: The Play of Destiny

The beating of hearts faded away until they merged into one, and Keith opened his spiralling and sparkling amethyst eyes, which seemed to hold the revolving cosmos inside of them. And soon, a refreshing feeling washed over him.

He gently smiled as he felt a naked body hugging him, her heat a little too comfortable. And he carefully brushed her silver hair, tugging them behind her ear to take a better look at her profile.

Yesterday was fun. After he woke up from his nap, the family had their lunch, and then Venessa took them all to show them around Essra.

It was a very fun place, despite how sensitive it was, and Keith enjoyed his time as his mother carefully explained to him how everything came to be.

Venessa had shifted their Electronic Company, Orion's research centre to Essra, and this was now the hub for all the Research Works involving the Demiliore Consortium.

Coupled with the Aeronautical Research Center, as well as the Nuclear Fusion Center that they had built, it was a place that was truly a marvel of the modern era.

However, due to its sensitivity, it could never be fully opened to the public. And with everything Venessa had done, she had turned this into a bastion, her own impregnable base.

When they returned to the Tower, Keith was confronted by his mother over a picture she showed him, where his blonde wife was posing with her new sword.

Rebecca had gone and flexed her new sword to all his wives and ladies, and though no one had any issue with it, Venessa had taken a liking to the Wicked Sword.

"I want one as well." She told him, and he simply shrugged and handed her the one he was keeping in his storage ring.

He could buy another Wicked Sword from the System anytime he wished, and it was worth it because Venessa seemed very happy with the blade.

"Now you will train with me in swords." She declared, binding him, and making him promise that they would stay here for not one but two weeks.

After they had their supper, she pulled him straight to the Training Room on the 97th floor, and there, she made him teach her how to handle the blade.

Celine was not too comfortable at the sight of the menacing blade in Vanessa's hand. There was just something about it that scared her, so she kept her distance and only watched it from afar.

Seeing that his mother was truly invested in learning it, he happily taught her and guided her to get used to the feel of the blade.

Venessa was so invested in it that she decided to spend the night practising it, and Keith knew that once his mother's mind was set on something, there was not much that could be done to change it.

It had been a while since he had spent some alone time with Sibyl, so he dragged his mother's beloved Shadow to show him his room, and there, he grabbed her in his arms and spent a very memorable night with her.

Now, watching her sleeping and clinging to him so comfortably made him recall her wild moans from last night.

He could have controlled the fire in loins that suddenly raged, but he didn't, and he rolled on top of her, pressing her under his weight, prompting her to open her eyes, and then he forcefully entered her confines once again.

"Mhm..." Sibyl bit her lower lip and moaned as she was filled once again, and then she wrapped her arms around his neck and pulled him down on her, capturing his lips in a deep kiss.

They both picked up a slow and deep rhythm that provided them with a fulfilling pleasure and then they continued making love to her late in the morning.

Since they had plans for the day, Keith decided to not tire her out, and after a few rounds, he cuddled with her comfortably, allowing her to get some more rest.

"Have you made any progress with your abilities?" He curiously inquired.

Sibyl was an Esper, a Clairvoyant, and as dangerous and useful as her ability was, she had not made much progress with it in quite some time now. That was not to say that she could not do much with it. She was very good with it, and his mother would make full use of her abilities from time to time, mostly to keep eyes on some people.

When he was younger, he always wondered how Sibyl would always find him wherever he was on the Estate, but Caesar had one day explained to him how she managed it.

It was also why Caesar took great care when Keith would go and visit Kiara on Fridays or Weekends, and why Kiara's house was on the other side of the city, where it was very hard for Sibyl to find him given the distance between them.

"No. I can not get past the 25 Km barrier." She replied.

"I see." Keith nodded to her.

To be able to find people and see things in a 25 km radius was already too outrageous by the standards of this world, Keith knew that it was not even a speck of her true potential.

But she had reached a point now where she could not break past this barrier without some help.

All Espers faced such hurdles in their paths, and if they ended up losing their focus and giving up on improving, their growth would be stunted.

It was also the reason why Keith mostly kept Zor on his toes and did not allow him to slack on his Esper abilities in the least.

"I will help you with it later." He told her, and Sibyl nodded her head, believing his words.

And she was a little excited in her heart now.

Making progress in Cultivation was fun and all, but she truly wanted to make some progress in her Clairvoyance ability as it had been a very long time since she had been stuck on this 25 km barrier.

Keith thought over a few plans and then picked one.

Sibyl would have broken past this barrier on her own by reaching the Completion of the Primal Desolation, which was a phase where Esper Abilities gained a boost. However, it would be a waste to use that opportunity to break past this minor hurdle.

He knew how to help her, and he had a very sound plan in his mind. But it was not something that could be achieved in a short time and would require a lot of patience and pain.

"Come, let's take a bath." He suddenly said, and without waiting for her to react, he picked her up and walked inside the dressing room.

Keith did not plan on being dishonest as he helped her take a bath, but when Sibyl took the initiative, he was never going to refuse it.

By the time they exited the dressing room, having dressed up, another hour and a half had passed, and it was past noon time now.

Celine threw him a mischievous grin when he entered the living room and she saw the flushed and content expression on Sibyl's face.

"Little Keith did not even spare Sibyl." She playfully took a jibe at him, and Keith grinned at her.

"I have been thinking about taking you and Qingyue to bed at the same time." He told her and watched the colour leave her face.

"No, thanks!" She adamantly shook he head and pouted when Venessa giggled at her reaction.

"You are not even going to consider it?" Keith teased her, and she shook her head again.

"No."

"And if I convince her?"

"She would never agree to it. I know my daughter." Celine confidently replied.

"Then say yes, and leave it to me to convince her." He approached her and then leaned in, eliminating the distance between them.

He looked right into her beautiful grey eyes and then softly captured her lips.

"What do you say?" He asked again.

Celine was a little terrified when the image of her and her daughter on the same bed with him flashed in her mind and she felt a little drawn to it, but then she immediately shook her head again.

"No!" She adamantly said, and Keith chuckled before shrugging.

"Your choice." He said and sat next to her. "What's the plan for today?" He asked his mother, who gently smiled at him.

"You will be training all of us." She told him, and he deadpanned at her.

"Seriously?" He asked.

"Yes." Venessa nodded to him as the ladies around him giggled. "You can blame yourself for staying away from us for so long. We have to make the most of the time you spend with us."

Keith sighed in his heart when he heard those words and then lazily rested his head in Celine's lap and closed his eyes.

"And before you decide to take a nap, go and prepare lunch for me, my dear son." Venessa sweetly said, and he frowned as he opened his eyes to look at her.

Everyone around him was trying their best to suppress their smiles, but some failed to hold them back.

"If it is so funny to you, you will help him with it, Gina." Venessa narrowed her eyes at her maid, who regained her composure and seriously bowed to her.

"Yes, Mother."

"I can only blame myself for staying away for so long, right?" He smiled at his mother, saying the words he would receive if he said anything to her.

"Aren't you the smart one?" She sweetly smiled back at him.

"Right." He audibly sighed and then stood up, stretching his arms and then walked towards the kitchen. "Come." He called out to Gina, who obediently followed after him. And when Minami tried to follow them as well, Venessa grabbed her hand and made her sit by her side, engaging her in a conversation.
