Novel & Cerita Enemies With Benefits

“She’s not weak. She’s survived worse than what we’ve thrown at her so far.” A smile crept into the darkness. “I’m not underestimating her. I’m studying her.” He leaned forward slightly, his voice lowering. “And while she has people who love her, she has just as many who resent her. Old grudges. Quiet hatred. People waiting for the right excuse.” The first man exhaled slowly. “Enemies.” “Yes,” the second said, satisfaction bleeding into the word. “And enemies are far more useful than loyal friends. Friends protect. Enemies destroy.”

Then Mara knelt beside her and said, “Then we tell it carefully.” Ben gathered anyone able to stand. Most were humans. Some were barely more than boys and girls. He lined them up near the far wall with stolen Thorncrest knives, axes, farm tools, and two actual swords someone had taken from Briar Glen’s square. “Rule one,” Ben said. “Sharp end away from your friends.” Eli raised his hand. Ben sighed. “Why?” “What if your friend is being stupid?” “Then use words first.” Eli looked disappointed. “Rule two,” Ben continued. “If you are smaller than your enemy, be meaner than they expect.”

They were seasoned, ruthless, and deeply cynical. To make matters worse, our parents hadn't exactly been master diplomats during their reign. Like me, our father had believed in war over peace, blood over bargains. He had built the Dern Pack’s reputation on fear, isolation and brute force. When he died, he left us surrounded by neighbors who either hated us for past slaughters or despised us for our youth.

Embarrassment is now washing my face. “You do know that you’re not making sense right? Early in the morning and you’re babbling rows that only you could understand. Being an alien suits you, take my word for it.” I looked at him to saw his smirk while driving. His arms are really on point, I could see some nerves ready to pop, is he insecure about it and actually want to be skinny like me? Are his muscles that too showy? For I know that gays want to be skinny, or mayhap just half of the population.

The one benefit I noticed about pets in this game, is that they are immune to practically everything. They could still get injured in a fight, but other than that, nothing else could harm them. Luka explained that it was because they were a partner assist to players, meaning their existence was solely on protecting players. Even in battle, they couldn’t die, but they would be temporarily unusable if their health became too low.

There were no eternal enemies, only mutual benefit in the business world. “Who?” Chris was first to ask as he saw his father going into a daze once again. “The reason I said one name is because” Adam paused as he gathered his thoughts “I don’t have political interests and hence never clash with anyone who doesn’t barge in through my door.” “Financial or business interests are mutual. There is a popular saying in the business world that there are no eternal enemies only mutual benefits; the hidden wisdom in this is that there is also mutual destruction. A good businessman will never take that path.”

“So he has enemies.” “Many. But none of them are strong enough to fight him. The ones who tried….are gone now.” I looked up in shock. “Gone?” “Yeah. Bankrupt and broken. So they left the city.” Zara said in a low voice. “No one crosses Kael and wins.” I closed the file with a snap and asked eagerly, “What about teaming up with one of his enemies? You know, there is strength in numbers?” Zara shook her head. “That is too dangerous. Any enemy you team up with could betray you. They might sell you to Kael just to get back into his good books.”

“That fucker is a one-man army with no concept of the word consequence!” “Then I’ll teach him.” I stood up now, glaring at my defender. “YOU did nothing to him, and he rained fire on your operation. You did NOTHING!” “What will happen if you test him? Huh? Think about this! You are rational, Marcus. That bastard is not! He is NOT! Are you listening to me? He won’t let go of anything he sets his eyes on! He won’t stop until he gets what he wants or destroys it! That fucker plays only one game – winner takes all. There is nothing in between!”

Black gun asked. "You don't have to want, you are already," he said, "a common enemy is enough to tight us up as teammates. Moreover, the enemy of my enemy is my friend but I will say you are my best friend cause you are not just an enemy to my enemy but the enemy to my most hated enemy" the smile on Wendigo's lips made Black gun rolls his eyes in irritation. "I can never be friends with a selfish and envious bastard like you" Black gun snorts.
