Clare was the assassin or the one that Argon ordered the keep an eye on Alex and the group.
Whenever the blue eyes were ntioned, it was Clare.
Yes, her eyes were grey, but after she used her skill to hide within the folds of space, her eyes changed color, and that helped her see through the space.
Clare knew that if Luna hadn't taken Cecil in when she took her, then Argon would've done it, and just the thought of Argon having her sister scared her.
So, although she was not happy with Luna for what she did to her sister, she was grateful as well.
'Whatever….'
But she was not going to accept it.
She turned toward Alex, Alice, and Ann who were still waiting for her to continue.
"The portals…."
Ann reminded Clare about the topic they were on, and Clare nodded her head.
"So decades ago, these portals started appearing in our world one after another.
We didn't know what they were and why they appeared, but when they appeared, many beings from our world were sucked into them.
So were forcefully sucked into them, while so entered willing, to study it or out of curiosity, but one thing was common, they never returned back."
Clare paused for a second, letting her words settle down before she saw Alex nod, gesturing her to continue.
She nodded back and opened her lips.
"So called them mysterious portals, so called them portals of death, and so called them one-way portals.
But there was one group or Empire that got a bit too interested in those portals.
That Empire captured all the portals and declared they would be the owner of those portals.
They continued to study those portals until one day, so of those portals finally had soone co out of them."
Clare paused at this point.
But Alex, Alice, Ann, and Luna had their eyes sharpened when they heard those words.
"What do you an? Are you saying that soone from this world went to your world?"
Luna for the first ti asked a question, and Clare didn't ignore her this ti since she knew that others had the sa question as her.
"No, they were not from your world, I realized that after I ca here…."
Her words didn't expel their doubts, they just made them frown deeper.
"Then?"
Ann asked.
"It was another world just like yours…."
As Clare's words settled down, everyone in the room had their eyes widened, even Alex was surprised.
[She is speaking the truth.]
Sophia comnted even before Alex could ask the question.
'I see….'

"So, that otherworlders you're talking about, what happened to them?"
Alex questioned after a while.
"No one knows, all we know is that those gates were captured by the sa empire, and nothing about those people was ever heard again."
Clare replied with a solemn look on her face.
"I see…."
Alex nodded his head, and he started thinking about those things deeply.
"You said that those people were not from our world, and you realized that after coming here, so how did you realize that? How were those people different then us?"
Ann suddenly questioned with a frown.
Clare nodded her head before she answered her question.
"They were like those people who you would call cultivators."
Clare already knew a lot of things about this world, she even read so novels and books to pass her ti, so she knew about cultivators.
"Ohhh…"
Ann nodded her head and noted it down.
Then there was a long silence after that, everyone busy with their own thoughts.
There were many questions that were still unanswered, and they wanted answers to them as well, but for so reason, they didn't want to hear it right now, it felt like the information they had for today was already enough for them.
"You said that you didn't know our world was different, and you thought that all the portals lead to one world, so why did you still jump into the portal?"
The silence was broken by Alex's curious question.
What was the point of running away when it was already found out that people could co from the other side of the portals?
"Because for the people of our world, it was still a one-way portal, no matter how many people entered, they never returned, in fact, even the gate that sent those otherworlders to our world disappeared after they ca out.
So, no one knew what actually happened or what was happening, but one thing was sure, no one who entered the portal ever ca back."
Clare explained herself.
"Yet you still jumped in."
Luna muttered.
"Heh, rather than being caught by those people we preferred taking the risk, even if we died, we would be at peace knowing that our enemies didn't get our bodies."
Clare just smirked at Luna's remark.
"The case where people from other worlds ca to your world through portals, did it happen ever again?"
Alex questioned again.
Alex was very much interested in this topic since he was getting bored in this world now, he was already the strongest here.
He now wanted sothing new.
"Not that I can rember."
Clare replied honestly.
Alex nodded his head, though inwardly he was a bit disappointed.
[The system can help you hop worlds, you know…]
Suddenly Sophia muttered and Alex's eyes widened.
'Oh, yeah! I almost forgot!'
Alex exclaid inwardly.
[You want to move to a different world?]
Sophia questioned curiously.
'Not right now, but soon…'
Alex muttered, but then he frowned as sothing about Clare's words before seed odd to him, and he noticed it just now.
"Wait a second…."
Alex muttered before he looked at Clare with a frown.
His expression caused Clare's body to tense as she felt the 4 more pairs of eyes lock on her.
Luna's stare was not sothing that really worried her, but the way Alice, Ann, and Noctura stared at her, reading her every move made her a bit uncomfortable.
'What did I do?'
She didn't even know why Alex was looking at her like that.
But she knew why Alice, Ann, and Noctura were staring at her, it was because Alex was frowning as he looked at her.
"Y-yes?"
Clare tried to ask in the most normal voice she could, but she couldn't as her voice broke a bit.
Cecil also sensed the air a bit tense, causing her body to tense up as well.
Unlike Clare, she had been living in the sa house as Alex and the group, so she knew them better.
Cecil also knew that if her sister did sothing wrong, then even if she begged them to spare her, they wouldn't listen, even though they lived together for 3 months.
So, when she saw Alex wearing a serious frown, her body inadvertently tensed.
She had never seen Alex frown like that in the past three months, after all.
And then under Cecil's trembling eyes, Alex's lips moved.
