Chapter 713 - Alicia

Back inside the Blackwade Clan,

Song Jiaoren's calm didn't last for long. As soon as he got the name of Alexander Sirius, he was utterly shocked. There was supposed to be no one in this world that would have this Supreme VIP Card, but there was the same name, Alexander Sirius, in the database. It made him wonder whether they were the same person or not. However, he remembered that his wife actually gave him and thought it must be his wife that had the original name, and it changed to his name after she gave it to him.

Although he wasn't aware of the real power of the Supreme VIP Card, he already learned a few things from his Father and Grandfather until he was sick of it. Nothing ordinary was in their conversation. That was why as soon as he saw Alex's name on the screen, he thought the wife loved him so much to even change the original name of the card. If Alexander actually got a scratch in this place, his wife would…

Song Jiaoren shuddered over the thought alone. His body tensed up, and he turned off the computer before making his way back to Alex.

"I… I have confirmed your identity, Sir." Song Jiaoren knelt on one knee as he presented Alex's card respectfully.

Alex was slightly surprised by his action, but he saw the system's notification.

[It's normal for him to act that way, Host.]

'Should I play along then?' Alex asked inwardly.

[Yes. The more respectful they are, the more advantage you can get while negotiating with them.]

'I see. Thank you.' Alex wasn't aware that Alicia was the one operating the system. If he knew, he might even ignore Song Jiaoren and talk to her.

On the other hand, Alicia was smiling playfully as she would have her fun with Alex soon.

After listening to the system's instruction, Alex took the card and smiled. "Thank you."

Song Jiaoren rose from the ground and bowed politely. "Since everything has been confirmed, I would like to inform the Patriarch and Grand Elder about this. After all, it will be better if they know about this as soon as possible, so we won't waste Sir's time."

Alex nodded. "Alright. Let's proceed according to your plan."

"I understand. There is a guest room inside my courtyard. Let me guide you there." Song Jiaoren stretched his hand, asking Alex to follow him.

Alex didn't hesitate and started walking for a few minutes until he arrived inside the guest room. It could be said that the guest room alone was a kind to a single courtyard. Its size was huge, and the atmosphere was peaceful. He thought this must be the highest quality guest room in this place.

"Do you need anything for your stay? I will immediately arrange the maids to serve you." Song Jiaoren asked.

"Nothing. I don't need anyone. I would rather have a peaceful time here alone." Alex rejected him.

"I understand." Song Jiaoren nodded and left him.

As soon as he left, Alex glanced toward the corner of the room and called, "Nicole."

"Young Master." Nicole emerged from the wall as she smiled seductively and knelt on one knee.

"Have you been well this whole time?"

"I am fine. Thank you for worrying about me."

"Then, do you know anything about the first elder and the third elder?"

"I think they will be taken care of today or tomorrow," Nicole said with confidence.

"Why do you say so?"

"Song Jiaoren has been investigating them after hearing that you have a Supreme VIP Card. Of course, he also has been trying to communicate with his Father and Grandfather. Although they don't believe him, they still take a precaution against the two elders. That's why if the moment they move, these two elders wouldn't have the time to react."

"I see." Alex thought for a moment and said, "Do they have other accomplices?"

"I have checked all the elders and other leaders in their ranks, but I haven't found a single clue. There is no weird behavior either. So, I think it's only them."

"Alright. Go to Song Jiaoren now and check their conversation. Song Jiaoren aside, I am still not sure whether the two old men will act or not."

"I understand. Even though it's considered taboo to put a scratch on the Supreme VIP Card holder, the human heart is really wondrous. I will make sure of their intention, and hopefully, they have no bad thought on you." Nicole nodded solemnly before vanishing into thin air.

"I finally finished all the matters. I only need to wait now." Alex sighed before the system appeared again.

[You still have one important matter.]

[Premium Ticket x5]

Alex was slightly startled. The system usually did not remind him about this and let him have his time. That was why the sudden aggressiveness was quite shocking.

"Fine. Use my Premium Tickets." Alex had no thought about this and used the tickets nonchalantly.

Suddenly, the system girl appeared, albeit today was a bit different. Instead of brown hair, it was purple hair. Instead of Lin Xingzhi, it was…

"Alicia!" Alex dropped his jaw and blinked his eyes a few times.

"It's been a while, Alex." Alicia smiled while she carried the white box to him.

"You… How can you be here?"

"What? You don't want me here?" Alicia pouted.

"No, no." Alex shook his head furiously.

"Haha… I am just joking." Alicia chuckled as she put down the white box. "Sister Xingzhi is not here for the time being, so I am replacing her. Though because you choose this option, I can only stay in this world for fifteen minutes."

"Ah… I should have come to the Gacha Palace." Alex fell down as he regretted his earlier choice.

Alicia only patted Alex's head and smiled gently. "It's fine. I will become the system for today, so we can chat later."

"Really?"

"Yeah. I am taking a break from my training." Alicia nodded.

"That's good then." Alex then rose from the ground and felt relieved.

"Still…" Alicia suddenly hugged him tightly. "Husband, I really miss you."

Alex closed his eyes and hugged her back. Without saying a single word, they knew how much each other missed them. They hugged for five minutes and released all their emotions before Alicia looked up and kissed him.

"I heard that Elder Sister Lea has a kid already…" Alicia said as she rested her head on Alex's chest.

"Yeah. I met her already."

"We can still meet them, right?"

"I am still practicing my Space Element. Sooner or later, I should be able to seal my strength along with you. After that, we and Firia can visit that world again." Alex nodded.

"I am looking forward to it. Besides, you need to reach God Stage first since I can't go to you right now."

"Don't worry. I will be visiting you soon, and it won't take too long, I promise… Though forgive me if the little girl has become a teenager."

"Well, I can't play her chubby cheeks." She chuckled.

"Don't worry. There is still a possibility of Elder Sister Mia to have a kid," Alex joked.

"Don't push yourself alright?"

"Yes."

Alicia thought for a moment and changed the topic. "Alright. I think I shouldn't talk about this any longer since I have a few things I want to talk about. Firstly, it's about Letizia."

"It's not like I am like her or love her…" Alex immediately explained his stance, so she wouldn't misunderstand. After all, giving her that Space Ring could easily be interpreted as giving it to a new lover.

Alicia chuckled upon the misunderstanding Alex had. "I'm not talking about that. What I want to say is... She seems to be loyal to you, so I think you should clear your relationship with her immediately. If she still wants to follow you when she reaches God Stage, I don't mind taking her and teaching her. She will be a powerful force in Eulja anyway."

"Oh, that… Who knows? She seems to have an attachment to her mother in this world, so I will think about it later. Though I believe giving her that message is probably fine… Or not. She must be practicing right now, so it's better to not distract her mind first." Alex nodded.

"I will leave the timing in your hand." Alicia nodded. "That's right. I have passed Firia right now because she is a bit too busy and reached Martial Saint before her."

"Ah. It seems I have—!" Alex felt guilty, but Alicia stopped him by closing his mouth with her hand.

"It's fine. I can be this fast because I don't have anything to do. Sooner or later, I will need to search for a planet to train myself alone as to gather experience. I don't want to have a high cultivation base but no prowess. Meanwhile, Firia gets so many experiences in this world while raising her strength. To think you have endured this type of process this whole time… I'm sorry."

"Don't be sorry. I chose to do this myself." Alex smiled gently as he put his right hand on her cheek. "You also have suffered so much because of me, so you should sit there and relax, I will come to meet you soon."

"Hehe… That's right. We haven't opened your Gacha. Let's open it first, and I will go back after that." Alicia felt that she only had two or three minutes left.

Alex thought for a moment and agreed. He opened the box on the ground and touched the first ball as a scroll emerged from within.

[Array Paper (SR) x1]

He continued with the other four in succession.

[Water Tank (R) x1]

[Rank 8 Monster Blood (SR) x1]

[Heaven Piercing Bow (UR) x1]

[Heaven Splitting Sword Technique (SR) x1]

"…" Alicia fell into silence before she apologized. "I'm sorry. I give you a water tank… That useless thing."

"It's fine. A certain woman gave dozens of them." Alex shrugged. "Though I can get three SR and one UR in a single five times draw… This is amazing. The Array Paper must come from rank 8 monster skin, so I should be able to create a rank 8 Array Plate with it. On the other hand, I don't think I need the Sword Technique right now because all the techniques in my repertoire are strong enough until I reach Martial Saint or beyond."

"This bow must be for Rose then." She pointed at the purple bow.

"Yeah. I have put the rank 7 bow in Rose's Gacha, so this will be the next weapon I will give." Alex nodded and stroked his chin as if he fell into deep thought.

"That's good then. She is a good girl that always follows your words, you know."

"Yeah. She is a good girl. I hope she won't follow it blindly like a robot." Alex nodded.

"You shouldn't worry about that. What you are teaching is right, so the chance of it happening is very low." Alicia nodded before she realized that her body started to disappear. "I think it's time for me to go."

Alex looked at Alicia and sighed.

Alicia kissed him for one last time as she said, "We shall meet again soon. At that time, we can enjoy ourselves until we are bored… Just kidding, I won't be bored with you."

Alex closed his eyes and smiled. "Yeah. I also won't."

He grabbed Alicia and hugged her tightly. Even if her body disappeared, he wanted it to disappear in his embrace. Alicia also recognized his feelings and hugged him back with a smile.

After Alicia disappeared, Alex let out a long sigh, hoping it would last longer.

[What's with the sigh? Even though I don't have a body in front of you, we can still talk this way. You don't have anything to do anyway.]

Alex chuckled as he nodded. "Haha… You are right."

They then started talking about many things from the matter in the lower world, his current world, and so on. It was a refreshing feeling for Alex because it had been a while since they last talked. Alicia also relieved her stress from training and immediately went back as soon as Lin Xingzhi returned.
