Chapter 217
Ikem looked around before asking, "I take it you all are in agreement with this solution?"
Maul nodded his head. "We have no other choice than to agree with this method. It is the best option we have."
In response to his words, the other demigods nodded in agreement. Tide looked towards Ursula before saying, "As for Ursula’s issue with the demon Silas, at the moment it is still a problem for the humans, not us godlings."
"After your retaliation and warning, I am sure the demon knows better than to make a move against your people. At the moment, we can each offer help by having our best thinkers come up with solutions or ideas on how he is able to take control of people with no magic signature."
Ursula nodded in agreement to his words. Maul looked at everyone, seeing that they were already a bit tired from the brainstorming, and said, "We should end the meeting here for now. Let’s meet up again in two weeks’ time. I believe by then we all will have picked out our site of experimentation and candidates for it."
The demigods agreed as the mirror screens started flickering and turning dark. Before Ursula’s screen could go dark, Ikem called out, "Can I have a moment with you, Ursula?"
Ursula, hearing Ikem’s words, had shame flash in her eyes for a second before she nodded, leaving the call open.
Ikem got down from his throne and walked towards the huge mirror before placing a hand on it. Nothing was said by him; instead, he waited.
A breath of relief left his mouth when he saw Ursula do the same, laying one of her hands on the mirror. The mirror did its magic as they both felt the warmth from each other’s hands.
Ikem looked into the eyes of Ursula, who looked like she was standing close to him yet so far away, and asked, "Did I disappoint you today?"
Ursula wanted to look away in shame, but she stopped herself as she knew doing that meant she hadn’t grown. She didn’t want to disappoint the second male figure in her life.
