Chapter 986 - Actually a Betrayal?

"You seem to get something big." She smiled.

"Yes." Alex didn't deny it, but Silvia didn't continue her question. Instead, she raised her left shoulder, asking Heilo to leap off her shoulder.

"Ru Ru."

"Thanks. I am back." Alex smiled. "Is there a problem?"

"Ru." Heilo shook her head.

Alex then raised his vision, looking at Silvia, who also confirmed it.

"I stayed in my mansion all the time, so no one suspected you here," added Silvia while walking to the kitchen. "Do you want a drink?"

"Nah, it's fine." Alex waved his hand.

Suddenly, a mouse appeared out of nowhere, shocking Heilo and Silvia.

"Ho?! A new companion?" She asked before noticing what she really was. "This mouse…Is a Spiritual Mouse, isn't it?"

'According to the name, yes. But Leka is Leka.' The mouse rebuked her cutely. 'Master helped Leka, so Leka is Master's contracted beast.'

Silvia was amazed by Leka's intelligence. She must have gotten the contract not long ago, but her intelligence seemed to be someone who had been living with a human for a long time.

"I don't know anything about you, so I can't really confirm your age. How old are you again?" Silvia asked.

Leka thought for a moment, calculating her age in her mind. 'Leka doesn't know. Probably around three thousand years?'

"I see." Silvia nodded. "Nice to meet you, Leka. I am Silvia."

'Leka meets Silvia.' Leka pointed her hand toward Silvia as if asking for a handshake.

When Silvia touched her small hand, she just tapped it and stepped back.

"Still, to think you have gotten many treasures in just a few months…" Silvia then glanced at Alex, trying to tease him.

"Most of them came from trading with someone." Alex shrugged. "I wasn't that lucky."

"Fine, fine. We will leave it at that."

Suddenly, they noticed that Heilo was silent this whole time, so they turned around, finding a frozen Heilo. He didn't move or do anything. Instead, his eyes kept staring at Leka.

"…" Alex blinked his eyes a few times as if he thought about something. He had seen Stina and Kyle, so it was easy to find something like this again. Still, he just couldn't believe this type of thing came before his eyes.

Heilo was entranced when he saw Leka. Unknowingly, he fixed his fur, especially on his head, trying to appear spectacular.

He then slowly walked toward her with an attitude that had never been seen before. The shy and embarrassed expressions mixed up as he arrived in front of her.

Leka didn't know about this since she had been used by the three races this whole time. There was no love or sympathy in her heart. Only respect and loyalty appeared in her heart after meeting with Alex, so she didn't understand what Heilo was doing.

She stepped back with a weird expression and greeted him. 'Hello…I am Leka.'

"Ru (I-I am Heilo)." He hurriedly replied, but his introduction was very stiff.

'You are Master's contracted beast too?'

"Ru." He shook his head.

'Uh, okay. Nice to meet you then.' She repeatedly nodded.

'Ru Ru (Do you want to mate)?'

Even Alex was stupefied when he asked that. He never expected to hear this sentence right off the bat. He just met her today. Although he didn't care about their species, it was still too soon to ask for that, no?

Seeing his expression, Silvia asked curiously. 'What is he talking about?'

'Like you, but more extreme.' Alex answered.

'Me?' She recalled the first thing she talked about with Alex and realized what they were talking about. She facepalmed, wondering if this l.u.s.tful monkey needed to be fixed.

Alex shrugged and watched how this would unfold.

To everyone's surprise, Leka only tilted her head in confusion and asked. 'Mate? What is mate? Leka hasn't gotten used to speaking like this, so I can't understand complicated words.'

'That…That…' Heilo didn't know what to do and was struggling to reply to her question. He made an "O" with his right hand and pierced it with his finger.

Alex and Silvia facepalmed simultaneously, asking themselves. 'What just did I witness?'

'Leka doesn't understand. Anyway, Master doesn't want to be disturbed by an unknown person, so Leka won't bother you anymore. And it's hard to understand someone who doesn't speak in a normal language like this. Leka also wants to have a human form, so Leka can follow Master. Then, goodbye.' Leka politely declined his unknown reason and leaped toward Alex's shoulder.

Her rejection was like thunder reverberating in one's ears. Heilo just got the shock of his life, knowing how painful it was to get rejected. At the same time, he realized how Alex might feel when he rejected his offer to become his Contracted Beast for the first time before handing him to his wife.

Suddenly, Heilo grabbed Alex's right foot and looked at him with a sad expression, begging him to take him in like Leka.

He was dying to be together with Leka according to his instinct. It was love at first sight. Heilo also wanted his human form, forgetting about the fact that he hated it.

Even so, Alex still shook his head, telling him that everything had been arranged.

Heilo had no choice other than to wait, so he turned around and looked down, walking while crying.

Finding him this sad, Leka sympathized with him and leaped from Alex's shoulder to the floor. She sneaked up to him and tugged his hand a few times until Heilo looked at her.

She talked to him for two minutes before accompanying him for a while.

Alex and Silvia had no words to describe this scene. It was surprising as well as magnificent. Their eyes intertwined.

Silvia asked with a smile. "Can you give me your seed…I wonder if I asked that question right off the bat, what would you think of me…"

"I would throw you out of my house." Alex gave an immediate response.

"…" Silvia breathed out of relief. "I was safe then."

"I guess." Alex shrugged.

"Well, I have a question for you. Can I enter Eulja?"

"No, not yet. There is a problem if you come with me, and it's not like we are close enough for me to bring you there." Alex shook his head.

"Is that so? That's a shame." She sighed in disappointment.

"However, maybe in the future, I will at least invite you as a friend."

"I wonder if I am at the level of a friend or get friendzoned?" She looked away playfully, knowing full well that Alex had gotten a good impression of her since he considered her as a friend. She still had a long time to slowly advance the relationship, so she didn't want to force everything at the moment.

From her point of view, she had indeed grown interested in him. She slowly walked past the principle that her father instilled inside her and started looking at Alex as Alexander Sirius instead of the Spirit God's reincarnation.

Alex didn't know her thoughts, of course. Nonetheless, she seemed to be more easy-going recently, so he thought it was an improvement. As for the ending, he didn't care.

"That's right. I want to ask you to make me a dummy doll, so I can leave this world at any moment."

"Are you planning to leave already?"

"Nope. My schedule remains the same, but I don't want to waste any opportunity that can let me fake my own death. I am sure you know how mysterious I am in this world, right?"

"I see. For a person like you, it's hard to find someone who wants to kill you." She nodded. "Alright. I will be working on it. I can guarantee that it will look real."

"Thank you for the help."

"No problem. There is—"

"What?!" Before he finished, Alex shouted as if he was talking with someone.

"Is there something wrong?" Silvia felt suspicious and furrowed her eyebrows.

Alex stopped her with his hand first and asked inwardly. 'Are you serious?'

[Yes. I just found that Evelyn had transcended to God Rank, but when she left the world, the Palm God met her. Zark couldn't get really close to him since we didn't know what they were going to talk about. She followed him.]

"…" Alex's face turned pale as he sat down on the couch, wondering what he had done wrong.

"What happened?" Silvia became even more worried.

"I wonder if I should make a war against your world without thinking about the risk anymore…" Alex clenched his fist and glared at Silvia.

"What…What are you talking about?" Silvia obviously couldn't understand him.

"I am talking about your father who kidnaps my protege." Alex released his killing intent.

Silvia widened her eyes, couldn't believe what he just said. "I-I don't know anything about this."

"Xingzhi…Use every single N squad to locate them right now. Get all the information needed, and we will deal with him accordingly. Prepare all the troops as well." Alex's voice was cold. When he was about to confront Evelyn head-on, she was taken away by the Palm God.

Subconsciously, Alex already saw her not as a mere protege, but Silvia misunderstood him.

The only thing she had in mind was the characteristic that made the past Spirit God famous.

Touch my people, Die! It was at that moment that Alex became a Demon God, feared by millions of God Rank Experts.

If there were a war between them, her father and everyone else would certainly lose. This was something that Silvia couldn't bear to see.

'What the heck is that old man doing?' She cursed her father and tried to calm him down. "This must be a misunderstanding. Calm down first. I will talk to my father to clear this up."

Alex, on the other hand, had a different thought. He instantly doubted that intention and released his killing intent. "I have never thought that you, father and daughter, would be this sly. By making me agree to your terms, you will have free reign over what you currently do. And now, with all this happening, you are trying to escape. Do you think I will let you go?"

It wasn't an empty threat. Alex already prepared Eulja's Spirit Crystals to increase one of his spirits' levels to confront her.

Obviously, Alex couldn't know whether she was talking the truth or not. As a careful person like him, the first thing he needed to do was to doubt her. After all, it was only a few months since he met her, there was no complete trust between them.

In fact, he would actually consider it clever to mellow him down, so she could become his friend. After that, Alex would believe her words and escaped, taking Evelyn as his hostage. It was a brilliant idea to be honest.

"I…I can assure you that this is just a misunderstanding. Please let me go, so I can talk to my father." She was shaking.

Alex had no clue whether she was faking it or not, so he refused. "Do you think your Rank 5 God strength can let you escape? Try it then."

Alex had released his sword and pointed at her.

Silvia couldn't contain her tears anymore and grabbed Alex's sword, pointing it at her heart instead. "Then, pierce this heart. If it is needed to convince you, please take it."

She had a complicated feeling. Never in her thought appeared where Alex didn't trust her at all despite her sincere attitude this whole time. Yet, she couldn't say anything because she had no idea what her father did and his plan.

"No. You are still useful as my hostage. If the war starts, don't expect to have a good day." Alex snorted.

[The Spirit Crystals are ready. You should be able to level up someone to Rank 4 God.]

Alex fell silent and looked at her. He didn't know whether he exaggerated this reaction or not, but after experiencing the betrayal in the past that he never saw it coming, he didn't want to get fooled anymore.

Still, he seemed to think of another plan and asked Lin Xingzhi inwardly. 'Investigate everything and say you have his daughter as a hostage too. If he doesn't care for his daughter, it means we will go to war because she obviously is the bait…And there is no way she will know if this is a carefully thought plan, so her clueless act is real.'

[Alright.]
