"…" Alex was lost, wondering whether this female could actually be convinced or not. He had told her a minute ago, so he thought she wouldn't talk about it anymore, but it turned out she wasn't like Aria, who listened to him.
He almost forgot the fact that Aria followed his words because of the agreent while there was nothing between him and Nella.
"I said it already…" Alex let out a long sigh. "I don't have any plan regarding that for the ti being."
"That's…" She looked down with a sad expression as if Alex just wronged her. "That's a no, I guess."
"Yes." Alex nodded.
"I see. I will ask my father to distribute the reward other than the Spirit Crystals. I don't know if we can replace everything with herbs, but I believe there will be so Array Plates and weapons to cover the cost of your traps." She sighed.
"Then, much appreciated."
"I will return first." She walked down while feeling down before rembering sothing. "That's right. There will be a huge auction one year from now. One of our plans is to give you one item from the auction, no matter what it is. You can consider this as a part of the reward."
After explaining, she handed her a token and a letter to him. "This is the golden token for our VVIP custor while the letter acts as an invitation. You can co if you want and vice versa, but I hope you can co." Nella then bowed to him once again before leaving the room.
Alex nodded and stored them in his Inventory while watching her back.
As soon as she ca out, she found Aria waiting outside the room.
Before she could open her mouth, Aria showed a recomndation letter and gave it to her. The mont she saw the seal, she realized it ca from the Unsurpassed Blade Sect.
Surprised, she looked at Aria with her mouth wide open as if asking her, 'Is this the recomndation letter?'
Aria smiled and nodded.
Confirming the letter's real identity, she gently nodded and whispered. "Thank you."
"You're welco. The one who issued that letter was the peak master of the Sword Blossom Peak, the peak where Nyx and I live."
The sadness disappeared as this letter brought another kind of hope to her heart. As if she found another plan, she smiled and left the room.
"Oh, my heart." Aria then teased Alex with what just happened.
"Stop it. I feel there is a hidden intention regarding that matter, so I obviously will draw the line." Alex sighed.
"A hidden intention, eh?"
"Do you think her feelings were genuine?" Alex looked at Aria with a serious expression. "If you say yes, I am going to marry you off tomorrow."
"…" Aria fell silent and shrugged. "Fine, fine. I will stop. Anyway, we have gotten what we need, so we will return to the sect after getting the reward, right?"
"Yeah. Recover your energy since we are going straight to the sect to continue your training."
"I understand."
During the night, Nella ca again while wearing a slightly sexy outfit while handing Alex a Space Ring. "There are ten million Spirit Crystals, ten Rank 8 Array Plates, four pairs of sword and spear, and ten dicinal herbs. This is the only thing we can spare. That's why we give you the extra auction item. Considering this auction is a huge one, the items will be good, so I am sure there will be sothing that catches your attention. I will be waiting for you one year from now."
Alex calmly nodded his head and took the Space Ring as if he didn't notice her outfit. "Thank you for the reward. It far surpassed my expectation."
"Of course. Although it's just a potential, I may beco a Rank 2 God in the future, so that alone is enough to thank you for all of this. Still, do you want to reconsider as a bonus? You will get a rich and talented wife, you know."
"Nope." Alex shrugged.
"…" She sighed. "We have finished dealing with the three families too, and according to our information, only those who ca with us during the mission know about this, so they don't know it yet. In addition, no one knows your contribution other than Millman, , Mother, and Father. I believe you won't get any trouble from the three families."
"Thank you, I appreciate it."
She then nodded before leaving the room.
Alex then sat on the bed before a blue notification appeared in front of him.
[Fufu, one more heart has been broken. Rip in peace, love.]
"So, you want to tease too?"
[Because it's too funny. I can see that she is not genuine, so I will be shaless enough to say sothing like this. Still, this type of rule always sucks. People will see you as trash when you are at the bottom, and those who flock on you when you are at the top just want your talent and abilities, not you.]
"Yeah."
[I want to inform you that we have gotten a clue for the next Fire World where you can use it to enhance your Fire Authority once more. This one is a bit unique, so prepare for a huge fight. If I am not wrong, it's related to its own sun…Anyway, why don't you just absorb the sun's energy?]
"It's different. I will be lying if I say it's not ford by Fire Energy, but it's still hopeless. I have no way to absorb it because it's ford due to a huge disturbance in the past. The energy is far more turbulent than what I need."
[Either way, you haven't forgotten to visit your Master, right?]
"Of course. I will go there as soon as I leave this world." Alex nodded with a serious expression. "I will visit him after this, but there is sothing more important that I need to do. I am required to go to Encore once again before visiting him."
[Is it not settled yet? I can't really access your mory about this. I have done everything I can, but I simply have no clue, so I have stopped doing it a few months ago.]
"You can say it's the work of the previous master of this Gacha System. Anyway, don't think much about it. Let's consider it a secret between both of ."
Lin Xingzhi paused for a second before understanding what he ant completely.
[In that case, let's move on to the next topic. Considering it's almost ten months out here since the last ti I have given you the report, I should talk about this first. There are a few bad news and good news. Unlike the usual way, I will report the bad news first.]
Alex narrowed his eyes and nodded. "Please."
[The first bad news is…I have noticed a crack in the seal the previous you used. In other words, the beast would co sooner or later. And the problem is the fact that we only have less than one hundred years left.]
"I will work even harder from now. Are the hundred years…"
[It's Eulja's ti.]
"We don't have a long ti." Alex nodded. "For now, I will increase my prowess first, so when I reach God King Stage, I won't be weaker than my previous self. In case I can reach the next stage after that, I will beat the beast according to the plan."
[I believe in you. The second bad news is about the Palm God. I don't know what he is thinking, but he is trying to do sothing weird during this period, so I might beco a bit busy dealing with this matter for the mont.]
"I know. You need to be careful since I can't really do anything right now."
[Sure. Let's move on to the third one. It's regarding Sherry. Sherry has beco the princess of a beast kingdom there due to various reasons. When I wanted to bail her out, she asked to stop and let her do this. She also asked to hide it, but I couldn't.]
"May I know the reason?" Alex took a few deep breaths to calm his heart down.
[The Beast God in charge of that world is a God King. He must know that Sherry is with you, so there won't be anything big regarding marriage. Our Eulja also has prepared for a war against that world if sothing happens.]
"I see. Keep her safe for and update her status from ti to ti. Tell her to not forget to cultivate the Fire Authority."
[Yes. She said she wants to control the Beast World to help you in the war, so that's the reason she chose to take this risk. I apologize for not telling you sooner.]
"It's fine. She is my wife, not a doll. All of you too. In fact, I like how all of you can act without making the decision. As long as it's for the family, I won't say anything unless it's sothing too big." Alex answered with a very deep aning.
[I understand. I will tell her that you have approved her action. Alright, enough with this depressing news. Move on to the good ones. First of all, Letizia has officially beco a God Rank Expert. According to her, Evelyn and Rose will follow suit before you return from that world.]
"Has she joined Eulja?"
[Yes. She is currently with the Ice Phoenix Tribe.]
"I see. I will visit her when I return. And say congratulations to her for ."
[Sure thing. Then, the second good news is about Alicia and Firia. Both have made remarkable progress. According to my information, Alicia has finished her task and t Firia. They then finish Firia's mission together. What is surprising is their combat skill. Despite having opposite elents, the two elents are in harmony. Well, you can see them when we reunite in Eulja.]
"I am looking forward to it."
[Third news. I don't know if it's good news or not, but Anna's and Anya's grandparents want to et you. They have prepared everything necessary.]
"I understand. I will make ti as soon as I have finished everything." Alex nodded.
[That's all. You have worked hard in this world, so you should have a rest.]
"Alright." Alex nodded and the blue screen disappeared. He took a deep breath and thought about what he needed to do after this.
…
The next day, in front of the Luzear Family's mansion stood four people.
"Then, thank you for the hospitality." Alex and Aria clasped their hands to Alcea and Nella, who saw them off.
"Yes, take care and thank you for the help," Alcea replied with a smile while Nella only waved her hand and remained silent.
Alex and Aria nodded before leaving the mansion, heading straight to their sect.
anwhile, Alcea glanced at Nella. "So, how do you feel when the man rejects you first?"
"It's sour obviously. I have never placed any importance on all my suitors' feelings, but now I have felt it myself. Although it's mainly about his uniqueness according to the ancestor, it's not like everything is all about it."
"How about you cry on my shoulder? Here. You used to cry in my hug." She smirked.
"It's enough, mother. It will only be a few years." She grinned as if she had a plan ready while taking out the recomndation letter.
"Oh! You are really my daughter." Alcea smiled and looked at Nella, knowing her plan. "I am still going to confirm it, but are you sure you will join the Unsurpassed Blade Sect just for this?"
"The ancestor said that no one recognized Sword God's talent, but when he was known, not everyone would be put on his eyes. For a rchant, All-in is a gamble, but there is sotis that we need to do it. Besides, I have claid boldly that I am your daughter, your little witch."
Alcea and Nella smiled at each other and said the sa line. "The person who our eyes have set for won't escape from us."
"Still, you will need to practice hard, you know."
Nella raised her hand as a Spear Energy revolved on her hand. "I am more than up for it."
They looked like they had decided to gamble, but little did they know that Alex also had a ti limit in this world. Whether she was fast enough or not, no one could tell.
