Chapter 998 - Time To Go
Just like Alex predicted, Quila informed the same thing as what Alex said.
"It turns out he is not that stupid, but he still won"t be able to escape from me." Quila smirked.
"This won"t make the Luzear Family stronger that easily and won"t affect us that much. As expected from the young master." The elder nodded with appreciation. He never thought that this was all just a farce from him.
He was ready to stop him if he did something excessive in this auction house, but it seemed to be not necessary.
Quila looked back at the elder from his family and asked. "There is one thing you need to do. The medicinal herb will be brought to him in ten minutes. I want you to use the Array Plate to restrict any usage of the Teleportation Array. We can"t afford to let him escape with something like that."
"Understood. I bring it with me, so I will do it as soon as possible."
"After this, regroup with us. We will follow that person, kill him, and become the biggest winner." Quila nodded.
The elder bowed his head to him and disappeared.
Meanwhile, the auction had officially ended. There was a deep disappointment for the host because they realized they had lost a big time. They never thought that it wouldn"t reach one billion.
Who could they blame at this point? They wanted to say something about Alex, but the one who stopped bidding was Quila. At the same time, they couldn"t really touch him easily because of his backing, and it would also hurt their reputation.
As for Alex, he kept his bidding war against Quila, making it look like he was trying to jack up the price. The last one looked scripted, but it didn"t seem to be like that for those who knew Alex"s ruined face.
In other words, Alex had just lost against Quila, and his life was in danger.
Still, the aforementioned person appeared so relaxed in his room while waiting for his medicinal herbs.
After a few minutes, Nella came to him, bringing the medicinal herbs he won.
"Nyx…I am sorry, I wanted to visit you immediately, but my mother and father didn"t allow me to." Nella put on a sad face. Even if they couldn"t stay the same, they didn"t want to lose the relations.h.i.+p with Alex.
Either Alex and Quila would come out at the top here, so if they maintained this relations.h.i.+p, whether Alex died or not wouldn"t really affect them.
Aria only snorted inwardly to Nella"s acts, knowing it was all facts.
However, Alex treated Nella as if he didn"t know this. He looked at her with a sad expression and said softly. "I also want to apologize. I couldn"t contain my anger early on, so now I am trapped inside this predicament. But worry not, I have the Teleportation Array Plate to escape from this place. As long as I can leave, I will be able to do something next."
"How…How about staying in this auction house for a while? With your strength, I am sure you can call up reinforcement from the Unsurpa.s.sed Blade Sect." Nella asked.
Alex shook his head. "No. I have another plan. As long as I can lead them away to a certain spot, I have my own group that can defeat them."
He then glanced over Aria. The latter nodded her head. "Yes. We have enough troops to deal with those three. I can act as your bait this time too."
With her claims, Nella slowly gained the confidence to bet in Alex and said. "I can ask my family to send experts to help you escape."
Alex smiled. "Thank you. But I can"t implicate you in my revenge."
"But…"
Alex closed her mouth with his finger. "Don"t worry. Trust me."
With this last a.s.surance, Alex managed to convince Nella. She then presented the medicinal herb to Alex.
The root was blue like that of a crystal, but when one touched it, they would realize how soft it was as if they touched human skin. Still, the immeasurable Lightning Energy coming out of it made people want to stay away from this thing unless they had a Lightning Element.
Alex took the token and handed a s.p.a.ce Ring to her.
Nella checked the Spirit Crystals inside it and confirmed the number. "I have received the Spirit Crystals. The transaction is over. Congratulations."
He smiled. The Spirit Crystals came from Eulja"s treasury, so he felt a bit bad to use it this way, but at least, he bought something useful, and he would also give it back later when he came to Encore again.
Considering there were a few hundred billion in Encore, this less than half a million thing wouldn"t be counted as an expensive item.
So, he immediately stored it in his s.p.a.ce Ring, so Nella could witness it. He then said, "Can you leave me alone for a moment. I need to prepare myself."
"I…Understand." Nella nodded and left the room.
Alex then turned around, looking at Nella with a gentle expression. "It"s time."
"Yes. As much as I don"t want this to happen, I think I can"t really be greedy." She sighed. "I will miss you, but this is not over."
"Yep. I will be looking forward to our next meeting." Alex nodded and looked down, falling into deep thought.
He recalled their memories and smiled. "My real name is Alexander Sirius."
"!!!" Aria opened her mouth in surprise, but it turned into a smile. "So, you remember the bet…Does this mean I"ve won?"
Alex patted her head. "Yeah. You have talent, but you need the experience to develop that talent. That"s why I want you to keep training and show me that this win is something you deserve."
Aria"s expression turned serious while clenching hands. "Yes, Sir. I won"t disappoint you."
"That"s right. This is a bonus, but you are wondering my age, right? If it"s converted to this world"s time, I just turned twenty years old this year." Alex stuck out his tongue while taking out Teleportation Array Plate.
"What?!" Aria widened her eyes and gasped. "Did I hear it correctly?"
"I won"t repeat myself."
"…Twenty years old G.o.d Rank Expert. Looking at your confidence, you mustn"t be a mere Rank 10 G.o.d. In other words, you are at least a Rank 9 G.o.d. And you do it within twenty years…Although it"s this world"s time, I don"t think there is someone like you out there." She narrowed her eyes.
"There are. My wives and disciples…You will soon become something similar." Alex smiled.
"That…I will do my best."
Alex laughed and used his Teleportation Array Plate, but it didn"t light up. He instantly realized and used his Spirit Eyes and found the s.p.a.ce Element nearby that seemed to be restricted by something.
"An array? s.p.a.ce Lock or something?" Alex narrowed his eyes. "I see. So that"s how they want to play. I don"t mind though."
"Is there a change of plan?"
"Yes. We are going straight to the mountain in the south of the city. I will then keep them for a few minutes, and you need to leave the area where there is no restriction and escape immediately. Can you do that?"
"I understand."
"And one more thing. Play along with my act, alright?"
"Hoho…Definitely."
Before Alex left the room, he called Njomo first and asked. "Njomo, how is it going?"
However, Njomo didn"t respond. It meant he had finished Alex"s original task. In the sect, Alex asked Njomo to enter Nella"s shadow to ensure their intake on his death without him asking for it again.
With this, he had prepared everything.
"Let"s go then." Alex smiled and left the room. He immediately used his fastest speed to leave the building and head straight to the mountain. It was still half an hour of flying, so he couldn"t relax during this chase.
At the same time, Quila and the elder saw this and exclaimed. "It"s them. We need to chase them."
They had been waiting outside their room to see Alex"s face, but it turned out he wore a mask. However, the elder felt rea.s.sured when he saw only two Martial Saints came out. In other words, they wouldn"t be a treat and could be killed easily.
These two then agreed to meet up with the elder of his family before chasing Alex and Aria with their speed that was far greater than that of a Martial Saint.
Alex also felt them not coming and increased his pace until they reached the mountain before they arrived.
"Aria. Get ready." Alex finally sensed them after flying for half an hour and looked back because they had arrived before them.
Without wasting a single second, Alex hid Aria behind him and said while furrowing his eyebrows. "You should go. I will stall them for a while and use the Teleportation Array to reach Second Brother. This will be a race of time."
"Do you think you can escape? With that Martial Saint strength of yours? You are already doomed when you become my enemy with that kind of cultivation." He snorted.
Alex slowly put off his mask and showed his ruined face. "I have been waiting for the whole time and can"t bear it anymore. It"s time for me to take my revenge."
When they saw his ruined face, the two elders were surprised. No wonder Alex wanted to take revenge, but it was a bit weird because he should be able to recover his original appearance.
Alex convinced them by touching his burn mark. "I didn"t heal this scar of mine because it will remind me of my hatred against you. That"s why…"
He released his seal, revealing his Divine Energy and true cultivation.
At this time, even Quila was shocked by sight. He never expected Alex to be stronger than him.
"Rank 8 G.o.d." The Rank 6 G.o.d elder narrowed his eyes, understanding where his confidence came from. However, he also felt something was wrong because he couldn"t see it coming. There was someone that had the ability to hide their power without getting found out by many people.
"No wonder you have that confidence. Unfortunately, you come at the wrong time. I have a Rank 7 G.o.d and a Rank 6 G.o.d here with me. Do you think you can beat them?"
Alex smiled and released his Pure Fire. That blazing fire called something inside the Rank 6 G.o.d"s body before he felt immeasurable pressure just from feeling it, making him realize Alex"s element. "Pure Fire! Impossible!"
"What?!" The two beside him gasped, never thought they would be able to see a Pure Fire.
Before the elder could say another thing, the blazing fire that came out of his body had turned into a fox. It glared at the elder and increased the pressure that made even the elder couldn"t do anything. He could only fall to the ground and kneel before him.
"Fire Authority." Alex just released the true power of his Fire Authority, the ability that made the Fire G.o.d, Phitrus, reached G.o.d King.
In front of the G.o.dly Pure Fire, all flames shall kneel.
The amount of force put the Rank 6 elder on his knees, not being able to even raise his head. He was forced to kneel in front of him.
"Elder!" Quila shouted.
"This is impossible. The pressure coming from the Pure Fire is above the record!" The elder gritted his teeth, trying to rise from the ground but to no avail. "We need to kill him. If not, he will become the greatest threat!"
"I don"t know who you are, but you are dead meat!" Quila pointed his finger at Alex and shouted. "Kill him!"
The elder from his family released his Divine Energy.
"Go!" Alex shouted, signaling Aria to escape.
She didn"t waste even a second and ran away.
"Young master. We need to catch him!" The elder pointed at the young man behind Alex.
"I"m on it. You deal with him." Quila nodded and proceeded to chase Aria.
However, Alex made the greatest bluff by smiling. "Yeah, yeah. Chase him!"
When they heard Alex"s nonchalant tone, they instantly realized that the person who ran away must have hidden his strength. If Quila chased him, he would die because the two elders couldn"t help him.
He stopped and turned around, glaring at Alex. "Doesn"t matter. As long as we can capture a Pure Fire Element like you, we will be able to turn around the situation."
They decided to do this because the risk was too big. Even the elder could understand that concern.
"It depends on whether you two can catch me or not. Trash." Alex snorted.
