I’m going to beat him today.\" Xarion’s voice was low and dangerous, his eyes fixed on Aren.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, the head guard hurried in from outside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Lady Roanna.\" He stopped before her and bowed slightly. \"Lady Melanie from the succubus clan has arrived with several elders. They are outside the estate... requesting to see you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Melanie, huh?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A cold smile curved at Rory’s lips. She hadn’t gone to settle accounts yet—and Melanie had delivered herself to the door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Melanie?\" Aren tilted his head, confusion written across his face. \"Who’s that?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The name felt... familiar. And unpleasant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he couldn’t remember why.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xarion, already simmering with anger, let out a cold laugh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"She’s your mother.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aren blinked, then looked at him with pure confusion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Father, then why aren’t you with my mother? Why are you always so close to my female master?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a split second, everything went still.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, Xarion shivered. The veins at his temple bulged, his blood pressure spiking as rage surged uncontrollably.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This idiot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was going to kill him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Aren!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The name came out through clenched teeth as Xarion’s fist shot forward with terrifying force.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Xarion!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rory reacted instantly, wrapping her arms around him from behind and holding him tight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His punch stopped just short.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Calm down, calm down. He’s not in his right mind. Don’t argue with him.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xarion glared at Aren like he wanted to tear him apart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rory held him firmly, dragging him back slightly while giving Jasper a look.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jasper immediately understood. He stepped forward and pulled Aren behind him, shielding him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I know you’ve had it rough,\" Rory murmured softly, one hand patting Xarion’s chest to steady him. \"I’ll deal with him. He won’t make you eat fruit anymore, alright?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aren, sensing the tension at last, peeked out from behind Jasper, looking at Xarion with a hint of unease.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why was father angry again?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He frowned. Was it because he was hungry?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that thought, he suddenly turned and ran back into the kitchen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment Xarion saw him go, his body stiffened instinctively.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And sure enough, Aren came running back moments later, holding the biggest, roundest fruit he could find.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Father, don’t be mad.\" His voice was soft and careful. \"I brought you fruit.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xarion stared at him in silence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...Forget it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Let the world burn.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He just wanted to die.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rory looked at Xarion’s utterly defeated expression, both amused and sympathetic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing that he had finally stopped trying to attack, she gently took his hand and turned to the head guard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Bring Melanie and the others to the front hall,\" she said calmly. \"Tell them I’ll be there shortly.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The head guard bowed and left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as he was gone, Rory cupped Xarion’s face and kissed him gently on the cheek, soothing him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don’t be angry anymore. Come with me to the front hall later.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xarion’s expression softened instantly. He nodded, still a little aggrieved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since his female master had kissed him... he would let Aren off—for now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He quickly turned his head, presenting the other side of his face. \"This side too.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rory couldn’t help but smile. She leaned in and kissed his other cheek.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aren opened his mouth to say something—only for Jasper to react instantly and cover it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Please, just stop talking,\" Jasper muttered. \"He’s really not your father.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He’s from the Snow Wolf Clan. You’re from the succubus clan. You’re not even the same species.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, Wen walked out of the kitchen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Female Master, the meal is ready.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rory nodded with a smile and said to Xarion, Jasper, and Aren, \"Let the succubus clan wait in the front hall. We’ll eat first.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After what they had done to Aren, letting them wait was the least they deserved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sister!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Paros stepped out of his room and quickly walked over to her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked a little tired.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Paros, what’s wrong? You don’t look well. Is your mental energy unstable again?\" Rory asked with concern.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Paros shook his head. \"No. I just didn’t sleep well.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had been coiled around her door handle, resting while guarding her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Until Xarion found him... and tied his dragon body into a knot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had only just managed to untangle himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still, he said nothing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He remembered the advice he’d been given—maintain good relations with her companions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So far, he had no idea how.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But making things worse was definitely not the answer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rory wasn’t entirely convinced. She extended her mental energy to check him carefully. Only after confirming he was fine did she relax.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then she led everyone to the dining room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aren sat beside her and asked softly, \"Female Master... can I go to the front hall later too?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked at her with hopeful eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I want to see what my mother looks like.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And... why had she come here looking for his female master instead of him?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rory paused for a moment, then nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright. I’ll take you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had already decided to keep him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The succubus clan needed to understand—Aren belonged to her now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No one would touch him again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for Melanie and the rest of them, if they refused to listen to reason, then Xarion’s fists would make them listen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And everything they had done to Aren... she would repay it, piece by piece.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>***\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the front hall, Melanie and several elders had already been waiting for nearly an hour.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They had been waiting for nearly an hour.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And not even a glimpse of Rory.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Worse, the estate guards stood like statues—no tea, no water, nothing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Melanie’s patience had long since run out. Her beautifully composed face was now twisted with irritation and anger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What exactly does this Rory think she’s doing? Making us wait this long—what arrogance!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One of the elders frowned and chimed in, \"Indeed. This female has no sense of etiquette. We are guests—how can she treat us with such disrespect?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The others nodded in agreement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Outrageous.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Completely unreasonable.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The more Melanie thought about it, the angrier she became.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"She’s stalling. She knows we’re here for Aren and doesn’t dare hand him over. He must be here.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her eyes darkened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A female like that wasn’t worthy of her son.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She strode to the door and snapped at the head guard outside, \"Go tell Rory to bring my son out immediately!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her words had barely fallen when a cool, faintly lazy voice drifted in from the entrance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You call others rude, yet come to someone else’s home and shout like this. Is that your idea of manners?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Melanie and the elders turned sharply.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There she was.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Walking in calmly—with Aren at her side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Behind her stood Xarion, Jasper, Wen, and Paros.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Melanie’s gaze locked instantly onto Aren.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whole.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unharmed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not a trace of injury remained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even the energy that had been drained from him... restored.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shock flickered through her eyes. How was that possible? Had he... eaten the Beast God Fruit himself?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the shock lasted only a moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was swallowed whole by fury.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Aren!\" Melanie shrieked and rushed forward, raising her hand to strike him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You unfilial wretch!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The slap came fast and hard, but before it could land, a slender, pale hand caught her wrist midair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The force tightened just enough to make her bones ache.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rory looked at her, eyes cold as ice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What do you think you’re doing?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Melanie struggled, but couldn’t break free.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’m disciplining my own son! What does that have to do with you? Let go!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As she spoke, she glared viciously at Aren.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How did you get here? Did she bring you out—or did you steal the Beast God Fruit and escape on your own?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aren stared at her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Something twisted in his chest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Disgust.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He turned away, tugging lightly at Xarion’s sleeve, his voice small and aggrieved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Father... you lied to me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He glanced back at Melanie, frowning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That crazy woman... she can’t be my mother.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Melanie froze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her expression shattered, anger giving way to disbelief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her hand trembled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You... what did you just call him?\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1347,"2026-06-05T18:17:47.496Z",1,"novelbin.me","2084ba7cdaf6afee0d4cd63c032620e9d17dbeb89618da2dded3174cdc2db8da","interstellar-beast-world-all-my-husbands-are-pow-chapter-268","interstellar-beast-world-all-my-husbands-are-pow-chapter-266",315,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Finterstellar-beast-world-all-my-husbands-are-pow-cover.jpg"]
