Dreams To Return: The God Of The Tower
47. No Choice

Novan appears and provokes the mammon, after which Nikolai and Loki, who look the same as him, make Mammon's attention split. Because Kanz's double eye must be the ring of greed in his hand will immediately react if he detects a little greed in Kanz. Then when the ring changes its shape because it is filled with gold to steal Mammon's attention completely, Fobetor secretly takes Mammon's gold card. That's the plan that Novan formed.

He did not prevent Kanz from making a pact with Mammon because he knew the key to the problem here was not Kanz but Mammon himself. Novan does not like to spend his energy just to take care of a subordinate opponent in accordance with his words "more exciting when directly dealing with his boss" because for Novan to face a problem must be solved to the roots, he said, and in the eyes of Novan Mammon was one of the roots of a tree named the great disaster that was about to hit him.

"So how about we start discussing contracts?"

Mammon laughed and looked down at Novan "hah! Are you the one who is the messenger of the gods to be my subordinate? Don't hope! I don't accept a freak like you-" without warning Novan kicked the cage into a dents and cracks, leaving both Loki, Mammon and Fobetor shocked instead of playing.

"Ah. sis already angry tuh.." muttered Nikolai took a step back leaving Kanz lying under the floor.

With sharp eyes and a red glow Novan took off his mask, his smiling face with a gripping aura seemed so clearly visible even in the darkness. For the first time he felt this angry, it felt like there was no sense of patience for the demon that was in front of him, not in spite of what the demon was doing in the fifth round of Novaan.

Novan still remembers, in the cold night and the ruined kingdom, he who had tried desperately to evacuate all the people to a safe place instead had to witness a flood of blood. All the people he saved were killed by Kanz and from their suits blood flowed profusely soaking the ground he was treading. And with a cry of pleasure Kanz called out the name of Mammon: "a sacrifice for my king! Great Mr. Mammon!" It was as if it had been possessed by such a cruel demon. And that night all his family were killed.

"Let's just say I've never heard of your answer" Novan looked up at the gold card he was holding "and why you didn't have this in the first place" the gold card seemed to be thought by the ornament of the symbol and in the center of the symbol was an image of the throne sprinkled by gold coins engraved there. That is the appearance of the card of greed, one of the 13 cards of the prospective ruler of hell. A sign that someone who owns her could be one of the 7 major demon kings.

"Haha it seems you know what card is..fool man..really you would think you would be able to use that right? That way you can become a demon king right? Hahaha a really stupid thought!"

Instead of being provoked, a smile appears on Novan's face for the umpteenth time. Now a smile so calm and empty. But judging from his eyes, everyone knew there was a hidden intent behind that smile. "Who said I'd use it?" From behind his pants pocket Novan took out a gold coin.

"Do you know that in the future the coin is worth no more than the paper money. In addition to being easy to carry anywhere and light, but paper money is also flammable... huh Nikolai?"

Nikolai appears to have taken the banknote out of his trouser pocket "{barter}" and within seconds the gold coin in Novan's hand turns into a banknote, followed by all the gold coins scattered in the room.

"Well now. 'cause you like to waste money.would you like to see money burn too?" Loki suddenly turned into a fire bird and then flew away burning every corner of the room, the fire spread throughout the room and burning all the banknotes inside there. A smile became more apparent as Novan thrust the gold card towards the blaze beside him "probably an ordinary fire will not burn this card.. but what if this damned card meets the fire of a saint beast? Aren't you also wondering what's going to happen" Mammon yelled loudly when the gold card slipped from Novan's hand.

"You-you!"

"Oh sorry.my hands are overheated so accidentally"

Just when the card was about to burn Mammon finally gave up. "All right, I'll listen to your contract! Quickly extinguish the fire!! " Novan smiled and his foot then stepped on the burning gold card and the fire on the card was extinguished.

"I've guessed you are a quick person to respond, so where was it? Yes, the contract!"

The flying Loki then perches on Nikolai's back and protects the boy and the unconscious Kanz from the growing flames.

"What do you want human?! Quickly tell me before we're all grilled here!" Snap Mammon.

"Sell your self-worth"

Silence struck for a while before Mammon shouted in disbelief "what do you mean human?! How dare you ask something like that just for-"

"Your golden card, wealth, honor and hiding place, I'll give it to you if you give yourself up. Here you must remember, now you are in a world ruled by gods, a world where darkness is so small as light. You high-level demons do have such amazing powers but when you are outside your territory, you are so weak"

Mammon clenched his teeth irritated, he could not argue with that and he was ashamed of that fact. Compared to Nightmare, a comfort dream is a world full of light. A place where the devil is difficult to develop his powers.

'shit. I was rash. I guess because being lulled by the pleasures of the humans here would be easily influenced. I didn't expect this to happen in the end..!' regret and resentment were evident on Mammon's face. And by looking at Novan he once again spoke in his heart 'this man... More cunning than the demons' the smile of Novan's victory looks so terrible and full of pure evil that even Mammon could not imagine being able to get out of the face of a human weaker than him.

"What happens if I refuse?" Mammon tried to buy time but it only made him lose a lot of time to survive.

"Then you'll regret your choice. I never pulled my word"

A black butterfly emerges from behind Novan's back and ferociously envelops Mammon's body.

"Wait - I haven't even made a choice!" Mammon cried out in panic as his skin seemed to start to blacken and bleed.

"No, you misunderstood." Novan's voice sounded so cold and a smile disappeared from his face.

"From the beginning I didn't give you a choice either.."

The night passed quickly and the news of a great fire in the territory of Samodra shocked the whole kingdom. Everyone only knows that the incident was caused by a firebird who suddenly got lost into one of the buildings, without knowing that the bird was actually Loki.

"I'll give you your money back" with a smiling face, Novan handed Kinan a document.

"Who? Why?"

"Because I don't need her anymore, you need her anyway, right? The massive fire will set the Samodra family's economy in decline. You need her more" Kinan rounded his shocked eyes.

"But no. I don't like to be indebted.." Novan knew he would hear the answer, it was a pity that if other people stung it they would be confused to answer what but not with Novan.

"I know you'd say that, but know I'm like this because I care about you.." Novan displayed his flagship smile "assume I gave you the money you deposited on me, I know you really need it. With this also you will be able to get one step ahead of your brother right? Isn't that nice?"

Kinan now froze in silence, he then nodded and Novan who was aware that his acting was successful then patted the woman's shoulder "you may ask me for help, aren't we best friends" but Novan's speech was cut off as the woman hugged him tightly. Making Novan once again reminisce about his childhood memories. When both of them are ignored by their families, they will comfort each other.

"Thank you. Really, thank you for coming back.."

Novan smiled sincerely and then patted the woman on the back, like a friend who calmed his struggling friend.

Moments later Kinan left and a yellow puffer cat with red eyes appeared to be sitting on the sofa.

"Good, how cunning are you human!"

Novan looked at the cat with sharp eyes and a faint smile "I didn't know you were going to be this big when you were a cat, Mammon"
