Dinner ti passed by without any more surprises.
After they finished eating, Alex and the whole Raven family went to the living room.
Once everyone sat down, Jonathan took the lead and said, "Alex, in the past few decades that I've been wandering around the Alter Dinsion, this is the first ti I'm seeing soone as brilliant as you."
After a pause, Jonathan continued, "You might have already heard from my granddaughter Kris but, the thing that we originally want to talk about tonight is about the reward you took last ti."
"The dragon egg."
After saying that, Jonathan carefully observed Alex's face.
When he saw that Alex's expression didn't even fluctuate, Jonathan narrowed his eyes and said, "You don't seem surprised that the stone you took was a dragon egg."
Hearing that, Alex smiled and said, "Of course, I'm not."
"After all, I already learned about it not long ago."
Jonathan was stunned, before a smile suddenly crept up his lips.
While shaking his head, Jonathan said, "I really didn't think wrong. You are indeed a mysterious kid."
Then he said, "Fine, since you have shown us just how capable of a player you are, let's forget talking about taking back the dragon egg from you."
Hearing that, Rolando, Glen, and Rosa all shook their heads with a helpless smile on their faces.
As Jonathan's childrens, they know just how much he treasures talented people.
Usually, whenever Jonathan sees a talented individual, he can't help but want to attract them to their family and give them support.
Because of that, the Raven house has a lot of talented people within it that were from the outside of the family.
And now, seeing such a talented man like Alex, this personality of his has once again surfaced.
After hearing Jonathan's words, Alex frowned and curiously said, "Sir, if I-"
But before he even got the chance to talk properly, he was interrupted by Jonathan.
"Stop, don't call that."
"Huh?"
Alex wasn't prepared for that and let out a confused sound.
Seeing that, Jonathan looked at him and repeated, "I said you should stop calling sir. Since you're already calling Rolando Uncle, why are you still calling sir?"
"Since you're Kris' only close friend, call Grandpa from now on."
Alex didn't know how to react from this turn of events.
However, after taking a deep breath, Alex managed to keep himself composed.
Then he calmly said, "Granda,"
Nodding in satisfaction, Jonathan said, "Good. Now, continue with what you were saying."
Alex nodded and continued, "Grandpa, I just want to ask why you said that you originally wanted to talk about the dragon egg earlier."
"Were you guys planning to take it back or sothing?"
It will be a lie if Alex said he wasn't worried about this.
After all, if they ever thought of taking back the dragon egg, with a strong player like Jonathan, Alex can only helplessly give it back.
Fortunately, Jonathan's answer imdiately made him relax.
Shaking his head, Jonathan said, "No, although they were indeed thinking of that when they learned that what you took was a dragon egg, I already stopped that."
"The thing that I want to talk about tonight was actually how we will balance things since the item you received from us was such a precious thing."
"That's why we were originally discussing how we can make you co to our family."
Chuckling a little, Jonathan looked at Alex with a smile and said, "We were even thinking of asking Kris to seduce you before."
"Unfortunately, she declined. Haha."
Listening to everything Jonathan said, it was Alex's turn to be stunned.
On the side, Kris' voice quietly sounded,
"It would be weirder if I agreed to such a thing."
Even though it's in a small voice, everyone in the room heard it clearly.
Rolando can only smile wryly at it.
Alex took a deep glance at Kris before turning his eyes back to Jonathan.
He said, "Then Grandpa, what are we going to talk about now then?"
Hearing him ask, Jonathan's eyes beca serious and said, "Alex, I know that you also know just how great your potential is."
"That's why I won't beat around the bushes and ask you directly."
"Are you willing to join our Raven Family?"
When he said those words, Jonathan exerted so pressure and looked at Alex intently.
Alex frowned deeply, feeling the pressure coming from Jonathan.
'What's this? Is he planning to force into becoming a part of their family?!' Alex silently thought.
Gritting his teeth, Alex looked straight into Jonathan's eyes and said, "No, I don't have any plan of joining any family or organization. What I want is to rise up with my own strength!"
Jonathan narrowed his eyes more and continued looking at Alex before finally taking back the pressure.
Noticing that the heavy weight around him has disappeared, Alex heaved a sigh of relief.
Then he looked at Jonathan with questioning eyes that seed to say, 'What do you an by that?'
Jonathan just smiled and said, "I was testing you."
"I wanted to make sure that you can remain stubborn on the things that you want even at the threat of a stronger being."
"It's because such a will is necessary if you plan to go further in the Alter Dinsion."
At the end of his words, a touch of nostalgia appeared on Jonathan's face.
Alex was stunned.
At this ti, Kris' voice echoed again, "Grandpa, there's nothing for you to worry about."
"If it's just stubbornness, I can confidently tell you that Alex is almost overflowing with that."
Hearing that, everyone laughed and even Alex also laughed a little.
Then, once the laughter died down, Jonathan said, "I already expected that you would decline my offer."
"That's why, this ti, I would like to present you with my most sincere offer."
Hearing that, Alex beca serious and paid close attention to what Jonathan would say next.
Finally, Jonathan opened his mouth and offered sothing to Alex that surprised him.
