"Melia, leave and take them with you as well.

I need to talk to him, alone."

Orpheus ordered, Melia glanced at Nux for a while, and then, she turned towards her father and bowed her head,

"As you command, Father."

Saying those words, Melia turned around and walked towards the room Nux's wives were in.

Nux and Orpheus watched Melia leave, unusual silence fell over the place no one spoke anything.

Orpheus just observed his daughter leaving as for Nux, he was looking at Orpheus's face, trying to figure out what he was thinking.

Of course, Orpheus's emotionless face didn't give him much information, but the fact that he wasn't saying anything even now made it clear that he was waiting.

Waiting for Melia and Nux's wives to leave.

And Nux was right,

The moment Nux's wives and Melia walked out of the room, Orpheus spoke.

"Thank you."

His words, however, confused Nux.

For the past 2 minutes, Nux has been wondering what Orpheus was about to say to him, different things came into his mind.

Will he go back on his word and try to peer into his secrets?

Or was he going to attack him for attacking his daughter so ruthlessly?

Nux was thinking of many things, and how could he not? Standing alone with a Divine Stage Cultivator near him for 2 whole minutes… it was not an easy task.

Orpheus may not radiate any kind of aura, however, just his presence alone was intimidating enough.
