Chapter 953 - Negotiating

Name:Gacha Sovereign Author:Fixten
He had seen these two separately, but not in his wildest imagination would he see these two together like this. The male was the mysterious guy that attacked him in the upper world, right when the monster world attacked. As for the female, she was the one standing on top of the spaceship with the Palm God, his daughter.

When their eyes met, Alex could feel that these two noticed something from him.

The man suddenly whispered something to her before disappearing from the air.

Alex pushed Aria away while grabbing his sword.

The instant he appeared, he sensed the same mysterious technique as the one he handled previously.

"Acceleration."

After getting some knowledge about time from his previous self, he could finally see the attack.

To his surprise, the latter used his Divine Body to attack him, trying to see the real strength of Alex.

Noticing this, he jumped an inch from the ground and used that force to blow him away like how a Martial Saint should be.

"Nyx?!" Aria shouted his name before glaring at the new person who suddenly attacked him. She raised her sword and appeared right next to the mysterious guy.

"Deceleration." He glanced at Aria and used his Time Element to slow down her high-speed movement before catching her blow without any problem.

"What?!" Aria widened her eyes before realizing she was blown away in Alex's direction.

"Who are you guys?!" Alex caught her and shouted as if he didn't know them.

The mysterious guy smiled and jumped toward him.

Alex grabbed Aria's waist and raised his weapon before he sensed the woman right next to him. He gritted his teeth and tried to jump away, but without him noticing, he suddenly lost the strength in his leg.

'What just happened?' Alex asked inwardly before finding needles on his legs while falling to the ground with Aria. At the same time, the man also had a few on his hands, stopping him from moving.

"That's enough. Your plan is bad, so stop fighting." She sighed at the mysterious guy's man before looking at Alex. "What is the point of that burn mark? I am not sure whether you know me already or not, but I will introduce myself first, I am Silvia Hermeth, nice to meet you, Nyx? Or should I say—"

Alex already swung his sword, making her unable to say another thing because she needed to avoid it.

"Fufu. So, that's how it is. If you don't stop me, your real name will be revealed. If you stop me, I know your real identity. A hard choice, huh?" She smiled as if she just saw through him.

Alex, on the other hand, expelled the needles that tried to block the flow of his blood and used his Pure Fire to boost his legs, getting some distance from them.

Aria didn't shout or say anything regarding his real name. She had expected "Nyx" wasn't his real name, but since he didn't have the intention to say it, she made that bet.

"Before you do another thing, how about we have a talk first on how to resolve this problem. Well, it's certainly my lucky day." She smiled. "And don't try to play the fool because I can inform my father at any moment. If you think that fake mark can protect you, then you are underestimating my ability as a doctor."

[This Kubard is a sly one. The reason she is there must be because he knows that you will eventually come to this place to learn about Sword Qi and Spear Qi.]

'What should I do?'

[Negotiate with her. If it's not working, I will try to talk with Kubard since they have found you. If it's not possible, Eulja is ready for a big war.]

Alex took a few deep breaths before he put down Aria. "Let's go inside first."

He thought their appearance would be a big thing, so it would be best to go inside as to not get any attention from other people.

She smiled and nodded.

Alex brought them inside before Aria immediately chose to make tea for them.

Alex looked at the two with a serious expression.

"You don't need to be this serious. I am different from my father. Still, I wonder whether the one I am talking about right now is with Alexander Sirius or Spirit God?" She narrowed her eyes.

Alex thought for a moment. "Alexander Sirius."

"I see." She glanced at the time guy and introduced him. "He is Navin. My Father's new disciple. He told me that both of you have met in the past."

Navin nodded with a calm expression. "I am just escorting you while searching for someone. Since there is a particular person, I am just checking his movement to know whether that is him or not. After all, only a few people can be calm by my Time Element for the first time."

"…" Alex glared at him.

"He pretty much hates you, it seems." She smiled.

"I don't have an excuse. Unfortunately, I can't say anything regarding my reasons. If you want to fight me, I will accompany you. If not, I am fine as well. For now, I will be waiting outside." He rose and left the house.

Noticing Alex's gaze return to her, she smiled. "I am sure that you don't know the purpose of my visit to this world. In a sense, my father knew that no matter what you did, you would need Sword and Spear Qi, so instead of searching aimlessly, I should come here and wait. Of course, we have talked it out with the three Rank 3 Gods in this world. I am visiting the sect to search for someone, and it turns out my luck is out of the chart today."

Alex remained silent.

"Let me see, with how my father acts, I am sure you are wary against me, but I am not that unreasonable. It's true that I idolize the Spirit God, but it might not be the same for Alexander Sirius. Well, you can say I have been trained by my father to marry the Spirit God, but we have agreed to let me see the real person first before deciding that. I think what we should be negotiating is regarding that. Don't you think?"

Alex looked down and opened his mouth. "What do you want?"

"That's not very nice, you know. How about letting me see your real appearance first? The burn mark is fake, and your hair is dyed. After that, we can talk earnestly. What do you think?"

Aria placed the tea on the table before saying. "I will excuse myself since I believe this is not my place to intervene."

"Oh?! Another wife material?" She smiled before realizing her eyes. "Your eyes…Can you let me take a look? I am a doctor, so I know what type of eyes that can be cured and one that cannot."

Aria's body shook before glancing at Alex.

"Go on." Alex nodded. "And she is not my wife."

Silvia smiled, didn't comment, and placed her hand on top of Aria's eyes. Channeling her Divine Energy, she scanned her eyes before smiling. "I think this one can be cured. There are indeed some defects in your eyes, but I can certainly cure you. Unfortunately, I need a few medicinal herbs to nurture your eyes first before treating it."

Aria opened her mouth, but no words came out. The thing she hoped for had finally blessed her with its presence, but when it really came, she didn't know whether she should take this choice or not.

"Well, we can talk about it after I talk with him." She patted her shoulders.

"I understand." Aria nodded and left them alone.

Alex then put off the burn mark, regretting that he shouldn't let go of his mask even though it was just for less than a minute.

"What do you want?"

"Such a handsome face." She stared at him while smiling. "Well, since you asked me what I want, there are a few things. I want you to be my husband, I want your seed, I want you to date me now and so on, but yeah, everything is like that. I am sure you don't like it, right?"

Alex clenched his fists and nodded.

"That's why I am not going to push you into the corner. I am sure you don't want to have a big war against my father, right? Although we might lose, you will need to face many risks just by knowing you are alive. The easiest way is to marry me, but that option is not the best. I don't like using a threat as well, so I want both of us to think of the solution.

"But let me say my piece first. I just want us to have a go first for a while. After a certain period, if it's not possible, I won't say anything and convince my father that it is not possible. What do you think? This is a pretty good solution, right?"

Alex thought for a moment and shook his head. "I don't have the resolve to do that."

"Resolve, huh. I almost forgot that the most well-known behavior from the Spirit God was to be responsible for everything around him no matter how important they were. I see, that's one point that I love and one of the biggest reasons why I idolize him." She smiled. "In that case, how do you want to solve this?"

Alex thought for a moment, having no solution at the moment.

"This is hard, you know. I mean, you should give me some chances too." She sighed. "And I ask you sincerely. As much as I don't want to use the threat of my father, I still desire to know the current Alexander Sirius myself. Besides, even if it's not possible between us, I think I would love to have a friend like you. I can protect you or my father will help you in the future. With his help, you will have two God Kings, stopping any others to think of attacking Eulja."

"There are two reasons why I don't like the idea." Alex sighed and chose to explain. "First, I am not fond of having someone who thinks of relationsh.i.p.s as business and calculates everything from benefits and loss. Second, I don't like to be forced anymore."

"I see." She closed her eyes for a second and smiled. "In that case, I would like to ask Mister Alexander Sirius to give me a chance to know you more. If in three years we know that it's not possible, I will give up. Of course, you can use Eulja's time for these three years.

"I would love to see how you act and do things, and I promise to not hinder you or something that will risk your identity. After all, not everyone is destined to be married. Besides, it's not like I can simply leave this world after discussing the terms and agreements with this world, right? I still need to live here for a period of time. I can create a new identity as well."

Alex never thought that the person in front of him would step back like this. From what he heard about this Palm God, he would do everything possible just to have him as his son-in-law. And he would most likely force him in the process.

"That…" Alex still hesitated.

[Why don't you accept it? It's not like you have something to lose. And I have asked all the spies regarding her information. Her words are credible, and her personality is trustworthy. From others' perspectives, she is one of the most talented people in the universe. Achieving Rank 5 God within three hundred years old.]

"Well, I should talk about myself first, right? I have told you my name and my father. As for my strength, I am a doctor, specializes in acupuncture. I can literally save anyone as long as they do not die. I am known as a Light Goddess instead of a Divine Doctor or something because my Light Element is a bit special…No one knows about this other than my family, but I will tell you to show my sincerity. My Light Element can carry a huge amount of Spiritual Energy that is very useful in healing people."

"…" Alex closed his eyes.
