'What happened?' Wondered the spectators as they looked at Alex's face.
Since the location where the participants were gathered was different from the spectators' location, they did not witness the incident that occurred.
'I don't know what happened there, but when Theodore was this furious, it never ended well...for his opponent' thought Ava as she observed Alex walking.
'I have never seen Dad look like this; that makes him look more attractive,' thought Alice with a perverse smoke on her face.
"Why are you smiling like that?" Asked Violette next to her.
"Oh, nothing, nothing; don't pay attention to ; rather, do you have an idea of what might have happened?" Asked Alice, trying to divert the conversation from her.
"I dunno, maybe soone insulted him?"
"I doubt it's that; your father generally ignores what most people say, and he would likewise ignore soone insulting him," reasoned Lilia.
'Perhaps soone insulted or the others,' she added internally.
'It might explain his face if that were the case'
By the others, she ant Alia and Anna.
She knew fully well the personality of her husband, so she understood that disparaging either his won or his close ones were sure thods to enrage him. It was sothing she appreciated about him, even though it was sowhat of a weakness that his enemies could take advantage of.
'Anyway, let's see if he is going to handle the situation'
As they observed, Alex and En walked to the center of the arena, and a few seconds later, Adrian also stepped into the center of the arena.
"Are the both of you ready ?" Asked Adrian.
"Start!" Shouted Adrian after they nodded.
The instant the fight officially started, both Alex and En made their move. Alex took a strong puff on his tobacco pipe while En clapped his hands on the ground.
The mont he clapped his hands on the ground, it started to shake, and soon, six pillars of earth rose and started to be shaped into large humanoid forms.
The spectators quickly grasped En's actions; he was summoning earth golems. However, he didn't stop there; he also conjured nurous earth projectiles that he planned to launch at Alex to keep him from approaching while his golems were being created.
'I'm not foolish enough to fight him in a hand-to-hand fight'.
Since his fight with Nox, all the participants understood that engaging Alex physically was.... risky, to say the least.
anwhile, after Alex took a puff of his pipe, he exhaled green smoke, then put away his pipe in his spatial ring.
Just after he completed that, projectiles of earth surged toward him, causing him to move to dodge them.
Although the projectiles moved swiftly, Alex effortlessly dodged them. Yet, he couldn't close in on En as the projectiles obstructed his path.
'Let's see how you are going to block this,' thought Alex coldly, beginning to expand the small wisp of smoke he exhaled.
Initially, people didn't pay much attention to the smoke; they had witnessed him take a puff of his pipe and then put it away. It puzzled them, but no one voiced their curiosity.
However, as Alex began to enlarge and expand the smoke while skillfully evading the projectiles, the spectators finally took notice of the white haze surrounding him.
"What is this white thing?" I asked Abigail (Adrian's sister) about no one in particular.
"I'm not sure, but didn't little Alex take out a smoking pipe before taking it away, so perhaps it's smoke?" I replied to Madison.
"Who knows? Let's just watch and see."
As En golems were about to be finished, Alex expanded the white smoke even further, this ti encompassing all the arena!
Until now, people could see what was happening in the arena because the smoke was thin. But as ti passed, the smoke got thicker.
'What the f*ck is this?' He wondered as his sight started to be obstructed by the smoke.
"The smoke is becoming thicker; is it the act of Alex?" Madison asked Grace.
"Mm" acknowledged Grace.
"Then, that's ant that-"
"Alex has the smoke ability," completed Grace.
No need to act clueless; Alex was already using his smoke ability. Sooner or later, people would have figured it out. It was better to just confirm what everyone already thought.
However, even though they suspected it, hearing it from Grace was surprising. Her confirmation shocked everyone, including Alex's daughters, except Scarlett, who didn't know about their father's smoking ability.
'So, the being of smoke of that day was really dad' realized Alice, connecting the dots.
"Seriously, what have you done?" Asked Victoria.
"Believe it or not, I have nothing to do with Alex's current power," replied Grace.
"So you're telling that little Alex not only miraculously reached level 4, but he also has a new ability, and you had nothing to do with it?" Victoria questioned, disbelief evident in her voice.
"Yes, now stop bothering ."
Victoria's lips twitched, then she glanced at Ava and Lilia for explanation, but before she could ask.
"No comnt"
"Don't know"
"...."
Victoria and everyone curious about Alex's power lips twitched; they knew that those two were clearly lying, but it's not like they could force them to speak, so they just shut their mouths and concentrated on the fight.
At the location where the participants were sitting, sothing similar was happening; every participant was shaken by Alex possessing an ability that changed everything.
Many were sure that he was physically stronger than them, so they bet on using their special powers to gain an edge against him.
However, if he possessed an ability, then everything changed!
Those watching were shaken by Alex's ability, but the most shaken was En.
'F*ck, I can't see anything!' Shouted internally, En.
The white smoke had beco so thick that he couldn't see Alex anymore, making him stop attacking with the earth projectiles.
It was not just him; no one could see what was happening in the smoke at this point, but it wasn't a problem; the mont you reach level 3, your senses are improved, and you can even see by concentrating on the surrounding mana to see, which was what everyone, including En, did.
'Where is Alex?'
Not just En; absolutely no one could sense Alex!
