The name of Kiba once again spread around the globe, this time explosively.
Earlier, it was due to the shocking death of an Alpha under his fingertip.
Now it was for the daredevil act of wife-stealing, that too from the House of Hestia.
Whoever heard the story, they were in a state of disbelief and refused to accept such a thing was possible.
After all, how can Kiba openly steal the bride and survive to live another day?!
House of Hestia wouldn't allow such a thing to happen!
Most people didn't know the details, and so they reasoned wife-stealing was just a rumor spread by the rivaling factions to humiliate the House of Hestia and Eleanor.
This disgusted them, and their impression of other families fell.
The youngsters were especially vocal in their disgust. They were aware of Constance's starry beauty and her milky-white character.
They cursed everyone who spread the rumor and tried to stain the image of such a pure woman!
Alas, to the anger of the youngsters, some people vocally believed the rumor as God's honest truth!
"If any story sounds impossible but has Kiba character, then it is bound to be true!"
"Indeed! If there's a wife in it, it can never be false!"
"No, it can be false if the wife isn't beautiful enough!"
"Right! I forgot the terms and conditions of Wife Pleasuring Service Ltd!"
"Phew~ What a relief! His services have moved to aristocracy!"
"He won't take my wife!"
"Obviously! His tastes have improved now!"
"We are safe now!"
"Don't feel safe yet!"
"If he doesn't find the aristocrat women fun, he would move his services back to our women!"
"…"
Surprisingly, all these vocal people had a common origin: they had lived in Delta City before its destruction by Extermination!
They weren't the only ones to suppose the "rumor," though.
There were also the husbands/boyfriends/brothers of patients treated in Dr. NTR's clinic!
"I know I'm risking my life, but let me tell you this – He's a fraud!"
"His medical treatment is actually an orgy clinic!"
"He is capable of anything!"
"Right!"
"In the name of treatment, he f.u.c.ks our wives and expects us to be grateful!"
"Our wives even agree with him!"
"Not to mention, they also expect us to pay him for f.u.c.k.i.n.g them!"
"If only they stopped there! But no! Even after making a complete recovery, they make an appointment to get f.u.c.k.e.d again!"
"Beware of Dr. NTR clinic!"
As such strange comments spread, the doubtful youngsters became confused. Could they be speaking the truth!?
Surely that was impossible!
After all, Alphas denoted grace, character, divinity, and sacredness!
So how Could Dr. NTR be any different, especially given his powers!?
"Well, his name is Kiba, but his title is NTR!"
"And according to what I know, NTR can mean netori…."
"Stop with innuendos!"
"NTR should have some profound meaning!"
"Right! Just because us lowly mortals can think of some disgusting meaning, it doesn't mean NTR can't stand for something divine!"
"Yes! NTR should stand for something overbearing!"

In the hall of the House of Eleanor, the a.d.u.l.ts and selected young masters read these comments with a clenched jaw.
"That bastard doctor! He has made a joke out of us!" A high-ranking member said with his fists raised.
"Even the damn commoners are laughing at us!" Another high-ranking member added.
Hearing such heated remarks, a young master found this as a golden opportunity to take revenge on Constance with whom he had bitter relations.
"Everything is happening because Constance couldn't shut her legs!"
The young master remarked with disgust.
The hall suddenly turned silent, and everyone turned to a middle-aged woman. The woman was none other than Constance's mother – Hana.
She was stunning in her own right, and Kiba knew her though they never met.
All because he had read the memories of Felicity's brother, Cleo, and learned a secret: Their father, Patrick, has traded a jewel of Everlasting Crown in exchange for a promise.
Hana brought her eyes to the young master.
The latter flinched as his eyes automatically locked on hers without his will.
He felt as if they were channels to a stormy sea, and he was dragged into it.
He was completely drenched with sweat in seconds, almost as if he was drowning in the sea.
He moved his hands in desperation, trying to move out of the invisible sea.
"What exactly do you mean by that?" Hana asked calmly.
"N-nothing, my lady," The young master managed to answer while falling further into the sea.
"Really?" Hana asked, not believing him. "I thought you wanted to imply my daughter is a s.l.u.t."
"!!" The young master fell to his knees and tried to apologize. Sadly, he couldn't, and he sank further, his face turning deathly pale.
He was dying!
Alas, none came to save him. Not even his own father who stood in a corner, trembling.
If anyone else attempted to kill his son, he would have dared to interrupt, but not her.
All because she was second in the family, just behind the family head!
As life left the young master's body, his father inwardly said, "Stupidity is lethal! Thankfully, I was smart enough to have dozens of children!"
If his son knew the thoughts of his father, his soul would surely never attain peace…
But such was the House of Eleanor.
They were sincere in their words, but they could be equally cruel, even to their own family members.
The rules allowed that!
Hana rose and said, "My daughter made a decision that brought shame to all of us."
"N-no!" The others hurriedly replied.
"She did no wrong!"
"The young are supposed to be rash! But she made a great decision!"
"Right! Kiba is a very powerful Alpha!"
"She has chosen a great husband in him!"
The hall once again turned silent, and everyone turned to the one who made the last remark.
It was the father of the recently deceased young master.
"D-Did I say something wrong?"
He asked while thinking he wasn't really smart. Because he might have many children but zero clones!
"Yes."
A woman replied with a forced smile.
"If we have learned anything about Kiba, it is that he doesn't believe in the institution of marriage!"
The woman suddenly realized she shouldn't have said this even though it was the truth.
So she quickly added, "But he has met Constance! His thoughts are bound to change!"
The deceased young master's father: "……."

Meanwhile, not so far away from the hall, there was the training room. Presently, two robots were launching piercing beams in quick succession.
Felicity waved her hand and channeled her wood-element energy out. Gigantic trees appeared before her, crossing together to form a shield.
Whish! Whish!
The beams blasted through the trees, and Felicity used the short time to close in further to the robots.
In response, they increased the firing rate, and she was forced to back away while summoning a wooden shield.
At the same time, at her command, a flower bloomed underneath her feet and took her in midair. Just as she reached there, a beam tore the flower to pieces.
The robots got ready to end this with more powerful beams.
Felicity was falling, and this was the best time. But in midair, she stretched her hands out.
Vines full of sharp thorns emerged from her palms and raced towards the necks of the robots. The robots had almost an impenetrable defense, but they seemed to fail in front of the vines.
The vines burst through their necks, destroying the wirings inside.
ZZZzzz~
With a sharp buzzing sound, the robots collapsed, and Felicity landed on the floor. Had seen been even a moment late, the beams would have blasted through her.
"That was fun!" She remarked with a happy smile.
Clap! Clap!
"Indeed! It seemed fun!"
A sweet voice agreed.
If it was anyone else, they would have disagreed with Felicity and called her crazy. But not the owner of this sweet voice.
"Sophia!"
Felicity turned to her in surprise.
"Mom always says, the best way to spend life is by doing what gives you fun!"
Sophia said as she moved closer to Felicity.
"You seem to be doing that!"
"So do you!" Felicity responded and hugged her.
She loved people who were adventurous and risked their life. And Sophia was one such woman, despite her constant reference to the wisdom of her great mother.
"What brings you here?" Felicity asked.
"The great villain!"
Sophia answered, her eyes glittering.
"I heard he stole a woman of this house on the day of her marriage!"
"Oh," Felicity nodded in understanding. "You mean Kiba."
"Yes!" Sophia tightened her fists. "It seems his level of shamelessness has reached the heavens! He needs to be punished!"
"You mean to say his way of having fun deserves punishment?"
Felicity asked her friend in confusion.
She has always felt Kiba was the ideal man as he lived for thrills.
"….no, being shameless is not fun!" Sophia tried to correct her friend.
"But how is doing what one wants shamelessness? Isn't that actually fun?" Felicity asked with confusion. "Besides, didn't your mom say that one should have fun?"
"No! She didn't mean that!" Sophia responded with a short pause. "So stop confusing me!"
"Really?"
"Of course! Even my mom agrees he is the biggest scoundrel out there!"
"I see."
"Though lately, whenever I talk of the villain, she turns evasive! Most likely, she's speechless by his rise in shamelessness!"
"Oh!"
✻✻✻✻✻
Far away, in the House of Neville, Katherine hiccuped.
"Someone is talking about me again!"
She thought of her daughter.
"What should I do about her?"
She wondered as she recalled the deeds she carried out with Kiba. Her actions were forbidden, and a chill raced down her spine as she remembered why.
Because he was also Zed.
And based on the heart of her daughter, he was destined to be her future son-in-law!
Just thinking of this caused a tingling sensation to explode between her t.h.i.g.hs. She felt like she has done something taboo, almost committed i.n.c.e.s.t!
And she has…
Because just like Kiba, Zed has also been inside her, even if only for a brief time!
And it was long before her daughter could experience him inside her!
"Oh god! Why do I always get so excited at such thoughts?!"
She asked as she felt the urge to frantically rub her c.u.n.t.
"I have to make sure he takes her soon! Otherwise, neither this excitement nor this guilt will ever stop!"
