Chapter 374: Conclusion
374 Conclusion
"I, Letizia La Scola, shall be the slave of Alexander Sirius for the rest of my life as I swore my eternal loyalty to him, and all the things I have is his, including my treasure, my body, and my life."
The Oath had been established. Although it was similar to Heavenly Oath, the word "Eternal Loyalty" had a big meaning. It was more like a Slave Oath, rather than a Heavenly Oath.
Alex also felt something because of this oath. He felt that her life is linked to him.
If he wanted her to die, he would just need to think about it, and her life would be over. Alex then narrowed his eyes, asking himself, "Is this girl a fool or something? I have yet to promise that I will not do something to them. I can still kill all of them and have her as my slave. Fu… This girl is lucky enough to unconsciously win a gamble since I am not someone who will break a promise."
"Letizia, you!" Cecilia was grieving about the fact Letizia became someone"s slave.
"Mother… please…" Letizia looked at her helplessly.
"Fine. You can do whatever you want with my memories. Even though she is your slave, if I know she is treated badly, I will kill you no matter what kind of price I need to pay!" Cecilia said while glaring at Alex.
Nelson looked at the other elders. They gritted their teeth and let him do whatever he wanted with their memories. They had no choice as Cecilia and Letizia already decided to sacrifice themselves.
Nelson immediately changed all of their memories, except Letizia"s. After all, if she did not know about this, she would just repeat the same mistake.
Nelson planted them a new memory in them. In their new memory, they could only see they had a normal chat with the others. After planting the new memories in their mind, Cecilia and the others still had a blank look.
"They will be fine in a few minutes. It is in the process of adjusting to their new memories." Nelson explained before coming back to Alex.
"You can do pretty much everything, aren"t you?" Alex looked at this reliable guy.
"I am your "Shadow." I will control everything from the dark, so Young Master can rely on me to do anything like a.s.sa.s.sinating, Espionage, Manipulating, and the like." Nelson said while bowing his head to Alex.
"Heh…" Alex looked at Nelson and shook his head helplessly. He then looked at Letizia, who slowly approached him.
"This Slave greets Master." Letizia kneeled without an expression. It was like she had given up her life. "I will stay at your place, Master. You can do whatever you want with me."
Alex was not sure what to do with this, as he never had any experience like this. If he had accepted the Elven Queen as his slave back then, he might have the same feeling as the one he had now.
"Go back to the sect with your mother and those elders. Take this experience as your lesson to make sure you don"t run your mouth easily." Alex gave her a cold gaze.
Letizia opened her mouth in surprise as expression came back to her face. She had prepared for anything that will come later, whether if she will be rap*d, or anything. She could only hate herself as she just made a blunder that changed her entire life. However, when she heard she could go home, she was surprised.
"Just remember that I can kill you at any time. And nothing escapes my surveillance, so if you try to do something funny, I will know. At that point, it won"t be you, but the entire Rainbow Flower Sect."
"Yes, Master."
"And drop that slave act, it makes me feel itchy."
"Yes, Master." Letizia rose to her feet before bowing to Alex.
"Like I said, drop that master thing."
Letizia shook her head. "I can"t, because of the Oath."
Alex narrowed his eyes and sighed, "Well, whatever. I don"t care if you hate me or whatever, but should you do try to harm me, you will face my wrath."
"Yes. I will never forget Master"s benevolence."
"Young Master, what should we do about them?" Nelson suddenly spoke while looking at Xiang Bai, Charya, and the first elder.
"They should not be foolish enough to say something about that."
It was as Alex said. After knowing that he had a Martial King close by, they feared that Alex might have more. And the reason why his Master came out when they were attacked by four Martial Kings was because he did not have many Martial Kings around him at the moment.
As someone who experienced the high and low in their life, they were not foolish to disclose this fact to others. When they heard Alex"s and Nelson"s conversation, they immediately nodded their heads.
"Then, since everything is settled, I will go back to my house." Alex then turned to Anna, "Anna, let"s go."
"Ye-yes!" Anna was wondering why Alex decided to take her since she could not hear what Nelson said to Alex.
Nelson bowed to him before he disappeared. Xiang Bai and the others helped Letizia take care of her mother and the elders.
"Don"t be sad. He never treated his friends and family badly. Well, although there is some friction with you, thus resulting in this situation. I think he won"t treat you that badly." Charya tried to comfort Letizia.
Letizia could only nod. "I… I just want the best for my sect. I never expected that the thing I thought it was the best for my sect, became a nightmare because of me. I hate myself."
"n.o.body is perfect. And what he wants is companions, not a slave, I think. You are the one who will decide your future." Charya shrugged her shoulders.
"..." She did not say anything.
Meanwhile, Anna was questioning Alex"s decision.
"Alex, why do you let them leave like that? Have you not realized Heavenly Oath is futile? Although Nelson planted a new memory, it was only for those elderly. That girl already made us trouble because of this Heavenly Oath thing, and you still forgive her? Don"t tell me, you..." Anna said with a shocked look, thinking if Alex had fallen in love with her.
Alex shook his head. "It is for Alicia."
"Alicia?" Anna contemplated a bit before she realized what he meant. "!!!"
Looking at her expression, Alex smiled. "Firia already has my Sacrificial Fire, thus it should not be a problem for her talent. But Alicia… Even though Master is helping her, I still doubt she will have a better one than Sacrificial Ice Element."
"..." Anna looked down, weighing something. She sighed, "Well, you might be right. I need to make some schedule to educate her as a good slave… Wait, I can"t say that. I will educate her as a good subordinate later."
Alex shook his head. If those people came back to their sect, they would be under Njomo"s surveillance. So, Alex thought it would be fine as they would not escape Njomo"s eyes if they were planning something for him.
After settling all of it, Alex started cultivating again. He wanted to make sure he had enough strength to fight the elders.
…
The following day, Lin Xingzhi finished her business with Alicia and Firia, she learned about the matter regarding Letizia. She did not know what to do regarding this matter.
She was a bit skeptical regarding their relations.h.i.+p. After all, even though he accepted her as a slave, she would have more time with Alex in the future. And with how Letizia thought their relations.h.i.+p was because of the benefit, it made her angry.
And what made her angrier is the fact that she could not teach her a lesson on how to be Alex"s slave. Although she had sworn eternal loyalty to Alex, her loyalty was still unquestionable, unlike Zark.
If she could just open the world barrier again and grab this Letizia, she would train her and maybe train her to be a wife material. She had a Pure Ice Element, and she was also beautiful. With just a little more polis.h.i.+ng on her appearance, she should be as beautiful as Anna.
However, since she could not do that, she did not tell Alex about Alicia since Alicia would be the one who will tell him later. And she decided to wait for the future whether Letizia would still be Alex"s slave, Alex"s subordinate, Alex"s friend, or Alex"s companion.
...
Three months later,
Alex was at the peak 5-Star Martial Lord. He needed an entire month to advance a star before he started consolidating his cultivation because he did not have his wine anymore. He felt he could have a breakthrough anytime soon in a few days.
He also did not forget to teach Evelyn. Evelyn had become a peak 8-Star Martial Grandmaster under his tutelage. Charya wanted Evelyn to reach 9-Star Martial Grandmaster before the tournament started. Still, from her progress, she would be able to reach 10-Star Martial Grandmaster in the last three months.
Evelyn would then dominate the entire Grandmaster stage tournament. At that time, Alex would need to win the tournament so he could get the prize from the system. After all, the price was very tempting.
Njomo also kept watching the movement in Rainbow Flower Sect. It seemed they did not say anything because Nelson planted memories. And according to Njomo, after that setback, Letizia progressed by leaps and bounds.
She even managed to reach 6-Star Martial Lord within these three months. And with another three months before the Grand Tournament, she might even reach 8-Star or 9-Star Martial Lord.
Alex speculated that she had awakened her Pure Ice Element because of her experience in becoming his slave. Fortunately, at the time being, she seemed pretty docile as she was cultivating this entire time, so the next time he might meet her would be in the Grand Tournament.
At least, Alex did not need to worry about her for the time being. Charya notified him that she would come later to explain the token tournament for him. So, he decided to stop cultivating and checked everything.
[Anna (Dark)
Level: 38/80 (8-Star Martial Lord Stage)
Exp: 31024/290000]
[Leoz (Thunder)
Level: 40/80 (10-Star Martial Lord Stage)
Exp: 297665/310000]
[Nelson (Dark)
Level: 44/80 (4-Star Martial King Stage)
Exp: 3346/350000]
[Fabio Fabotelli(Fire)
Level: 36/80 (6-Star Martial Lord Stage)
Exp: 123545/270000]
[Greg (Earth)
Level: 34/80 (3-Star Martial Lord Stage)
Exp: 213455/250000]
[Vera Fabotelli (Water)

[Jeanne (Thunder)

[Anya (Light)
Level: 33/80 (3-Star Martial Lord Stage)
Exp: 165887/240000]
His spirits had been working hard these three months. Sadly, because of the scarcity of powerful monsters, Leoz did not progress that much compared to others. Although Nelson, who was already a Martial King, managed to get one level, it was because he was near to level up before.
He was sure that Anna, Leoz, Nelson, and Fabio would become a Martial King before the Grand Tournament with his EXP cards. And he might even be able to level up another one to Martial King with the reward he got for the Grand Tournament as he would a UR EXP card, which can level up a whole realm if he won the Lord Stage Tournament.
Alex then checked his ticket status for the first time in these three months.
[Gacha Ticket x1649]
[Premium Ticket x0]
[Dart x0]
[Gacha Card x0]
[Summoning Ticket x5]
[Summoning Coin x0]
Alex thought about using all his normal Gacha. He would then get many Rare EXP cards to level up his spirits. This way, he would be able to level up Anna and Leoz to 1-Star Martial King at the minimum. However, just when he was about to say it, the system suddenly said,
[Host, I suggest you exchange five Premium Tickets this time.]
