Supremacy Games

"Elder Sphinx, Please give me a chance to recover those materials for you!" Felix stopped relying on anyone but himself as he begged loudly for his life, "It may not be now, but I am confident in bringing them back! Isn't that much better than just killing me to vent your frustration?"

Seeing Felix behave like this, the Jörmungandr decided to help him out by saying, "Give me some face and grant him a chance to redeem himself as he said."

Felix's eyes gleamed a bit after getting some support.

'She will give some face to elder right? After all, I am not worth that much.' He thought with a hopeful expression.

Alas, Lady Sphinx's cold gaze didn't change even a bit as she looked at the Jörmungandr and said, "Jörmi, stay out of this."

She turned to Felix and criticized, "With your lowly strength, I doubt you can obtain even a single secondary material in the next couple thousand years. By then, I would have already concocted that potion and moved on to a difficult one."

"So just be a good lad and die." She said lastly before gazing at Felix with a penetrative gaze that made his soul freeze, causing the consciousness space barrier to start cracking!

However, a millisecond later, the effect had gone away as Lady Sphinx eyed Felix playfully and said, "What can run, but never walks; has a mouth, but never talks; has a head, but never weeps; has a bed, but never sleeps?"

At lose for words, Felix kept staring at Lady Sphinx's while having his entire back drenched with cold sweat.

Meanwhile, Asna and the Jörmungandr didn't know how to respond to the situation.

The lucky bastard truly was really saved by a riddle since Lady Sphinx had said exactly ten sentences before wanting to kill Felix!

But Felix knew that he would be dead whether he answered or not as Lady Sphinx seemed hell on bent on doing so.

Hence, instead of thinking about the riddle, Felix started brainstorming on ways to offset her suppressed fury that she clearly wasn't displaying.

'Promises are useless and begging didn't work as well. I need to offer her something tangible that would offset her anger. But what do I have to give that can move a knowledgeable being like her?' Felix.'

'Something that she doesn't know of.' Felix's eyes brightened up after realizing that he had something unique to only himself in the entire universe!
