Blessed by Night

Chapter 155  The World Is Changing

On the other line, the president fell silent for a few moments as he loosened his tie just a bit. "It is as I've stated over the phone. In light of certain... world events, the U.N has unanimously decided to start the collection of resources found inside the gate for use by the world's military."

"And I presume this world event you're referring to is the revelation of Arias' faction, of which you all already knew about?" Luna asked pointedly. The silence on the other line was nearly overwhelming and gave her the only response she needed. "You cannot just take the guild's resources that we fought on the front lines for! If you want more resources to outfit your armies then you and every other power in the world should put your lives on the line and collect them yourselves!

But what my guild members and I have collected belongs to us and I expect it to be returned! You have no right to take them, so find some other way to appease the scared hearts of your voters!"

The president let out a deep sigh containing an entire presidential term of exhaustion. "Honestly Ms. Autumn... I am not obligated to. Under the agreement between your guild and the United States Government, you are obligated to handover any magical devices your group is in possession of that might aid against a national emergency level threat. And a blessed terrorist group certainly qualifies."

Luna clenched her fists so hard that her knuckles had started to crack audibly. It was exactly as Malachi had predicted. The world's attitude toward the blessed was starting to change and this was likely only the start. From here on, demands were likely to get more and more irrational as an attempt to appease humans of their fear. But Luna was not interested in playing these games. "Is that so... then I suppose that you've just made my decision a lot easier then. As of now, Immortal Moon is officially disbanded." She said coldly. The president immediately leapt up from his seat and started to break out in a sweat. "Ms. Autumn, what do you mean by this!? If this is a joke I assure you that-"

"It is no such thing. I suppose you could say that the last dungeon run has really put things into perspective for me and I'm honestly a bit tired. I have more money than I could ever spend in twenty lifetimes, good friends the likes of which I've never had before, and a wonderful man who loves me to pieces. I don't need to waste my life doing paperwork, do I?"

"T-Then just retire and pass down the guild to someone under you! But to disband it completely is-"

"Nah, I'll disband it."

"Ms. Autumn!"

Luna wasn't stupid, she knew exactly why the president was trying to prevent her from disbanding the guild. After the last dungeon run, the top five guilds were in complete disarray. The leaders of Dead Sea and Platinum Scale had both been killed, and by the leader of Ragnarok no less. Morgan Creed had also conveniently gone missing and wasn't available for comment, but last known reports say he was with Malachi Saint who was damn near impossible to track since he just blipped all over the goddamn place. America had been able to remain in the top of the world's food chain because four of the world's top five guilds were based here. With two guild leaders dead, one missing, and another one going to disband her guild entirely, their ranking was going to slip downwards like fat kids at a water park. That couldn't happen!

"Y-You're being irrational! Simply because you do not wish to give up a few trinkets does not mean that you can try your back on your coun-"

"Oh, seems like I'm getting another call, Mr. President. Please do not contact me again."

"M-Ms. Autu-"

Without waiting another second, Luna hung up the phone and blocked the number, although she was sure that it wouldn't stop him from trying to persuade her. She had to make things official quickly so that there would be nothing that he could do about it. Which meant she had to talk to the girls first. Creak.

Out of the corner of her eyes, Luna saw the young Serana peeking at her through her room.

"I... feel like I just heard a whole bunch of stuff that I don't really make enough money to hear."

Luna chuckled softly and sat on the couch before patting the seat beside her. The pink haired girl slipped out of her room, and joined her shyly. The two of them kicked their feet up on the coffee table and Luna started to explain what Serana had just heard. "I don't know if you're worried about something, but you need not be. Disbanding the guild will not have any negative effect on our lives in the future. "

Over time, Serana had come to look at Luna as something of a real aunt. Therefore she was more than comfortable enough to rest her head on her shoulder. "You sure about that..?" n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Chuckling, Luna rested her head gently atop Serana's. "Yes, I am. I have been preparing for something like this for quite a while now. I think it will greatly benefit us all this way."

Serana still seemed to be bothered by something and Luna took her hand give it a reassuring squeeze. "What's wrong? Disappointed you won't get to be rich and famous?"

"Are you kidding? Have you seen my new face and body? I'll make bread even if I'm not in a guild." She said cheekily. Luna laughed at Serana's bold confidence and she felt her mood improving already. "By the way, Mal and your mother weren't in bed this morning when I woke up. You didn't hear them leave did you?"

"No, but hold on."

Serana pulled out her phone and went to her mother's contact before she started tracking her device. "Does your mother know that you have her location?" Luna asked suspiciously. "Nope, I just turned it on one night a few years ago when she started working late since I didn't want her to get kidnapped or anything. Ain't I a good daughter??"

Luna wondered how exactly she should answer that question since Serana had technically invaded her mother's privacy. She wondered if she should admonish her even just a tiny bit when Sei's location finally finished loading. "Ah, gross! Looks like they got a hotel room in Sandestin. Did you guys get tired of washing your own sperm soaked sheets?"

When Serana didn't receive a response, she looked up and found Luna staring at her phone with a dangerous glint in her eyes. 'Honestly... why are all of Mal's girlfriends so crazy? It's like he fucks their brain or something...'She thought exhaustedly. "Oh? So they went to a hotel all alone without us, hm? That's fine, see if I have sex with them ever again!"

"...Auntie, you don't even sound like you believe that..." Serana muttered. Luna rolled her eyes and bit her lip in jealousy and annoyance. "Just wait until they come home, I can't wait to hear what excuse they have for ditching us to spend the night out!"

-

In a presidential suite two hours away, the new fiancés hadn't gotten a wink of sleep. With Malachi's inexhaustible energy and Sei's new blessed physiology, the two's bodies were inseparable. They had spent the entire night in all of their favorite positions, reaffirming their love for each other with nothing but their bodies. The entire bed was already sopping wet, so they had switched to the floor instead. On his knees, Malachi cupped Sei's butt in his hands and bounced her body up and down as she locked her legs around his waist. The two of them hadn't spoken to each other in hours, not with their mouths at least. While their lips and tongue were firmly intertwined with each other, their minds were busy proclaiming their oaths to each other, over and over again. Enough times that it would have been easy to go insane from the constant stream of obsessively possessive words. And in a way, it can be said that they did. Through every exchanged moan into his mouth and word of devotion streamed into his mind, Malachi could feel Sei's passion and love for him increasing by leaps and bounds, which in turn further fueled everything he felt for her. If before their love was as unbreakable as a titanium board, it was now as expansive as the universe itself. Among heaven earth or hell, there existed no force strong enough to separate them. Malachi felt Sei bite his lip a little bit harder than normal and knew that she was about to cum again. Increasing the pace at which he bounced her atop him, Sei finally lost her ability to form coherent thought as she had her hardest orgasm of the night. A shrill scream finally escaped her mouth that delighted Malachi's ears beyond any calculable measure, and a fierce trembling assailed her body. Malachi still had so much love to give Sei and so much that he needed to express, so he wasn't intending on letting her go just yet. "Don't pass out on me yet, love."

"I-I need a break, honey..!"

"Sorry, love. I just don't think I can let you-"

Knock, knock, knock!

Malachi and Sei's steamy and intimate celebration was interrupted by an annoying serious of knocks at the door. A voice played from the other side, one of a ditzy and equally friendly vampire. "Hey, I heard a big scream just now so are you guys done yet? Or can I come join you~?"
