Chapter 167
Title: Ordinary day (1)
....
Today is a bright day.
Everything is peaceful in the Golden City. The Shandians and Birka, the only people living on the island, live their daily lives in peace.
Some of the Skypieans working here also had no problems. Life is peaceful and happy for them.
All and all, even unwillingly, Amon has created a pretty decent place for the people. In addition to the golden architecture, there are ordinary houses, cafes, hotels, apartments, – shops and much more built around here.
Shandora's residence is obviously many times slimmer than Angel Island and even many other Sky islands. However, this was treated as the 'Capital' of all the Sky Islands.
But not everything is peaceful here. While the ignorant masses lead happy lives, people at higher levels are at odds.
Just like the incident that happened at the Temple of the Gods – Nico Robin and Boa Hancock.
....
Boa Hancock was sitting on a bench with her legs crossed. He coldly stared in front of him, where Nico Robin was sitting on the bed.
Hancock's cold expression immediately turned disgusted. "Nico Robin, you're pathetic."
"?" Robin was thrown hearing it. He just called here, out of context, and he suddenly insulted her? What's wrong with this woman!?
Robin with a frown on his face, replied, "Sorry, but why am I here?"
"Of course, you're here to listen to me and do what I say." Hancock raised her head. Arrogance was clear in his tone and expression. "I heard of you, called brother-in-law."
"..."
"Yes, you have to keep quiet. It's the only thing you have to do." Hancock looked at him mockingly. "First, you approached my husband on the grounds of being his sister. You manipulated that poor boy for a year, then when he was at his weakest you jumped into his bed and seduced him."
"Did you still not feel ashamed to live near her after all that happened?" Hancock finished talking with an angry look.
Robin was already frowning deeply. "Who told you that? You shouldn't know this considering the time you spent here was very short."
Hancock's eyes twitched. "Well, is that what you're worried about? So it's true you're thick-skinned."
He got this information from asking some people. Amon didn't go back to his room last night, it's about Hancock. Did he do anything unpleasant? Why did he ignore it otherwise?
Concerned, after wondering - Hancock got what she wanted. No one can deny the question.
Of course, he misinterpreted the information he had obtained. To him, Amon definitely could not be the one to chase Robin because he called her his sister or he would chase after Raki as well. So all the mistakes fell to Robin himself.
Robin chuckled softly. "You have to be polite to older people, I'm older than you, I remember. Did no one teach you that?" With Hancock growing up, Robin then sighed shortly afterwards. "By the way, I'm not sure who told you these things, but you should know - I don't care about the past anymore. All I care about is my future with Luci."
Robin doesn't care much about Hancock. Yeah, it pisses him off when he sees Amom acting friendly around him, but it's not that he doesn't know. Amon just brought Hancock here to use her, unlike her!
Hancock gasped at hearing that. "So you don't deny anything, huh!? You really manipulated my poor love! No, that's not the problem anymore. Now that I'm here, I'll fix it!"
He got up and walked closer to Hancock, staring at her face with his hands on her waist.
"Go from here right now." He glared at her. "Manipulative whores like you don't deserve to be here. Stay away from my love life."
This is where Robin snapped as well. 'How dare a mere tool order me to leave Luci ...'
Soon, Robin crossed her arms. He won't fatally injure Hancock, but he needs to teach her a lesson.
Hancock realized what she was going to do. 'This must be him trying to attack me. So he tried to hurt me...' Immediately, Hancock clenched her fists and prepared to attack.
Robin did not think about it and shouted, "Fleur—"
"Stop."
But before either of the two could engage in battle, Amon's voice interrupted them.
Hancock and Robin's eyes grew as they slowly looked towards him, Amon putting on a terrible frown.
Reaching a conclusion, Robin gulped. 'No. If he thinks I'm trying to hurt him seriously, he's going to get angry. Even if he was a tool, he was important!'
Hancock gulped in the same way as she pulled back her fists that almost touched Robin's face. Robin did manipulate him, but it was true that he saw her as his sister, right? It would definitely make him angry to see her try to attack him.
Amon walked over and looked at the two of them with mocking eyes. "I don't like this kind of drama..."
He first saw Hancock. "You're in Robin's room, so I can only blame you for everything."
"ME-I"
"Shut up." He stared deep into his eyes, making his throat dry. "Get out of here, I won't say it next time."
Hancock's eyes grow when her eyes get wet. His lips trembled as he nodded. "I get it. I'll go."
He turned around and walked away with quick steps. The path he walked was filled with tears.
"..." - ".Seeing him go, Robin sighed. He looked at Amon with a smile. 'Of course, he loves me the most'
"And you, don't smile like I'm done." Robin gasped when she heard Amon. "You said he should respect you because you're older, right? It's natural for you to take care of him."
That made Robin cringe. He would have immediately retaliated if it wasn't for the fact that Amon slept with him last night. 'Relax, he cares more about me than that woman. Or he'll be harder.'
He sighed. "You never said you wanted me to take care of her, so I didn't."
"Stay, I think you'll be more responsible-"
Robin frowned again. "In charge!? Why do I always have to be on the submissive side? Why me? He came to my room, why him!? Did I call him? Nah! He came here alone, on purpose."
Of course, Amon knew it was Hancock's fault. But he also knew it was because he was too possessive of her. He can be rude to her, and that would be fine given his submissive personality, but that means the bad relationship between Robin and Hancock will not subside.
It was never good if his so-called harem members fought every time they were around each other. Additionally, Amon dislikes Robin's revenge personality.
When he finished shouting, Amon said nothing. He rubs his temples. Then slowly walking closer to the bed, he fell flat on his back.
Amon covered his face with his hands, remaining silent.
"It's okay." Amon breathed.
Robin was immediately caught in confusion as she jumped onto the bed and sat down beside him. "H-Hey, you want to be wrong? Tell me."
After being silent for a while, Amon sighed and released his hand from his face. His eyes were wet with a hint of redness in them.
"You've been talking to me with a frown on your face, lately." He swallowed lightly. "Are you a little dissatisfied with me...?"
That's when Robin lost his mind. 'Huh...?'
What is this situation? She had never seen him act like this before. No, he did. That was when he was young. When he doubted it.
In fact, he did not even realize that he had spoken with a frown on his face.
Robin touched Amon's face with his trembling hands. "I. I didn't realize it. I'm sorry."
Amon just shook his head. "It's okay .. If you do that without realizing it, it means I've really made you dissatisfied somehow. I don't want you to fake anything ..." she then muttered, "But it still hurts to know you unconsciously hate me."
Robin immediately shouted: "I don't hate you! I swear! I don't hate you!" Robin began to breathe heavily. "I'm just busy with work, so I frown! It's not because of you!"
No, it didn't happen. He is quite dissatisfied with Amon, though only subconsciously. He had worked day and night for her, yet he ordered her to stay humble around the new couple he brought? His discontent was justified, but that did not mean Ammon would bear it.
So he used a pity card – which works really well.
Robin could say nothing more. He lost his words, his body trembled violently. 'Why am I a woman****** that is ungrateful...! It's like the last time!'
He just fell on his chest with a gasp. "It's my fault. I'm sorry."
After a brief silence, Amon put his hands on his back and patted him.
"It's okay. If you really mean it, make sure not to talk to me like that after this. It hurts my heart." Amon said, pushing Robin's head against his chest, and grinning lightly. "After all, you are my sister, I will always forgive you."
"...." - ".Robin became calm. "Thank you..."
Amon kept patting his head. "In addition, let me tell you a story. It's about three poor girls who were captured by the World Nobles, how they lived their lives as slaves."

Hancock was in Amon's room, the room he had been living in for the past few days. She was sitting on the bed, hugging her legs, and looking down with hollow eyes.
'He yelled at me ...' He could barely hold himself back. 'No, it's my fault that I'm after someone she cares about. I am just an outsider. It's my fault, I insulted someone close to her.'
Hancock smiled as she hugged her legs tighter. 'I'm just an outsider.... Yeah, correct. I must always respect the woman, or she will shout at me more often, maybe she will leave me if I cross the line.'
As his moist eyes became more moist, he slowly closed his eyes as sleep took over him.
....
*Tap*
The knock fell on the door of the room, making Hancock wake up.
He rubbed his eyes and realized his cheeks were wet.
She shook her head and wiped her cheeks with her dress and stood up. "That's coming."
He assumed it wasn't Amon. He usually teleported inside.
Walking closer, he opened the door as Amon's face appeared from the other side.
"Ah, husband-" Hancock stopped in the middle of the road. Was he even qualified to call her that?
He remembered Amon even had a wife. But from what she gathered, she assumed it was a political marriage. 'But who says I'm wrong about this, too.maybe he loves that woman too.'
Hancock avoided eye contact as her gaze fell on the person behind her. It was Robin.
'He's here too...' Hancock looked down again, not daring to look Robin in the face. To him, Robin was a superior existence now, someone he could not hope to disrespect.
"H-hello .." said Hancock, narrowing her eyes.
Amon sighed and moved away from Hancock and Robin.
He said to Robin, "Finish what you two started."
Hearing him, Robin walked forward and bowed deeply.
"sorry. I didn't realize you only cared about Luci. I don't understand you doing what you're doing because you care about his safety. But-" He lifted his head and said, "I can guarantee me I'm not Vixen. I don't want to hurt her either."
"..." - ".Hancock remains silent as she realizes Amon took the time to tame Robin.
"So..." Robin walked up to Hancock and hugged her. "Let's hang out together, okay brother-in-law?"
"..." - ".Hancock's eyes widened as she looked at Amon, instinctively asking what he should do.
Amon muttered, "Don't look here.I'm being rude to you, sorry." Amon blinked his eyes as his tears began to fall again.
"Thank you..." She hugged Robin tightly while her tears fell on her shoulders. "Thank you so much for forgiving me!"
When the two of them apologized to each other, the night came.
Amon continued to smile from the sidelines. 'It's easy to get them together. Both of them have a past with WG hostile towards them, so I just have to let them sympathize with each other.'
In the end, having a harem is not difficult. You just need to play your cards right.
Amon had other ideas. 'Sleeping with both of them in the same bed will strengthen their bond... No, I'm just horny, whatever.'
Amon did not care, he was king of his own choice.
However, this type of dispute will not be resolved easily at a later time.
