BXBX NOVEL Chapter 286 286: Unbreakable Spiked Shield
"Immortal Miessy is already roping me into her own circle. I might not be the person to fully appreciate the favor, but I am not someone who stabs their benefactors in the back."
"On the other hand, being debited to Immortal Miessy might be better than owing a favor to either Immortal Patty or Immortal Scotty. At least I can avoid the chance of getting into a conflict between the two of them."
"Also, having her presence as a blanket to protect me from the malicious thoughts of other immortals should allow me more freedom to do whatever I want. I can use her as an excuse to explain my rapid growth and have her become a barrier to stopping investigations about me stealing treasures." The moment Yoze found out he owed Immortal Miessy a heavy favor, his mind raced to figure out how this would impact him.
In less than a blink of an eye, he came up with the thought that it wasn\'t too bad. It wouldn\'t affect his plans too much and would give some extra protection at the cost of working for Immortal Miessy for a bit of time.
He also noticed that as soon as the young employee mentioned that Immortal Miessy paid for Lily the Wasp Monster, both Immortal Patty\'s and Immortal Scotty\'s faces deeply frowned before returning to normal. At the same time, Immortal Miessy had a subtle smile on her face, which she kept on to allow Yoze and Alosa to see.
Without having to think much, Yoze and Alosa knew that they had just witnessed one of the uncountable competitions between immortals. With Immortal Patty and Immortal Scotty in a deep feud, they both wanted to gain Yoze as a valuable ally.
With his talent and his crazy battle prowess, Yoze would have given them a leg up. This was especially important for Immortal Scotty since he was still very far behind Immortal Patty.
Being enemies with Immortal Patty, who had completed his Immortal Tattoos and had chosen the path of a Plot Immortal, meant he would always be drastically weaker. For Immortal Scotty, he needed to use everything he could to defeat his enemy.
If he didn\'t, he would have to worry for the rest of his life that Immortal Patty doesn\'t discover the location of his True Body. Once discovered, he would instantly become a dead man without any way to stop Immortal Patty from killing him.
If he had gotten Yoze\'s loyalty, he would have gotten a powerful immortal cultivator, which could have caused immense trouble to Immortal Patty\'s underlings. With his underlings in crisis and having trouble collecting resources for him, Immortal Patty would find his progress slow down, and with enough time, Immortal Scotty was sure he could catch up.
"It feels good to win something over these two. I might not be as powerful as Immortal Patty or have the incredible connections that Immortal Scotty has, but I can hold my own."
"I must be able to if I don\'t want to be dragged into the whirlpool of chaos that these two will cause each other. With Yoze and Alosa on my side, I can be more relaxed."
"They shouldn\'t want to risk causing me any trouble in case I have Yoze take care of all their manpower. With Yoze\'s strength, he should be able to repay the immense debt with plenty of resources to spare to support his ascension to immortality."
"By then, I will have an extremely powerful immortal helping me. Oh, I am excited; given his level of power now, he might be stronger than I am the moment he becomes immortal." Missy thought to herself as she immediately noticed that Immortal Patty\'s and Immortal Scotty\'s attitudes toward her became colder.
She knew that the two of them wanted her to become a pawn in their game and wanted nothing more than not to be a part of it. She had always known that she had too many enemies to deal with and couldn\'t afford them to start joining sides with either Immortal Patty or Immortal Scotty.
With that, she would have gained another immortal enemy without gaining anything. As long as she remained neutral, she wouldn\'t gain an additional enemy since they wouldn\'t want to force her to join the other side.
Having planned all this and being able to react fast enough to claim Yoze allowed her to have some breathing room. With this extra time, all she needed to do was improve her relationship with Yoze and Alosa until they became her permanent ally.
Alosa was easy in her mind, but she struggled to devise a plan to lure in Yoze and ran into trouble immediately. During the journey to the headquarters, she wanted to at least make some grounds for their future relationship, but he was like a steel wall.
All her attempts would bounce off of him and not make any progress. Obviously, he didn\'t want to have a deep relationship with immortals since he valued himself highly.
With his strength and talent, his chances of becoming immortal were high. As long as he didn\'t make an enemy with an immortal, he was guaranteed to break through the Crystal Brain realm and become immortal.
With her foot through the door, Immortal Miessy knew that she would have to work hard to drag Yoze into her circle of close allies, but once she did, it would be worth the effort. What Immortal Miessy didn\'t know was that she had already hit the jackpot and gained a nearly unbreakable spiked shield that would protect her life numerous times.
Even if she didn\'t manage to lure him into her inner circles, Yoze had already decided to repay her immensely. Since he was already much stronger than Immortal Miessy, he didn\'t worry about her enemies.
If Immortal Miessy\'s enemies couldn\'t kill her without his protection, then they definitely would not be able to be with him around. After convincing himself that the benefits outweighed the costs, Yoze almost wanted to hunt down Immortal Miessy enemies to devour their hundreds of years of spiritual energy and collect some treasures.
