Chapter 402 Relentless, Plan B
After the two of them left the villa, they did not speak. Instead, James made sure that they had already gone as far as possible from Jack's villa. It was only after they had arrived several kilometers away, that he suddenly felt relieved.
As they stopped, he began panting. He had already spent a lot of energy in order to move at such an incredible speed. What's more, he also used his ability, to veil the two of them, in order not to be detected by anyone as they moved.
So, if he encountered Jack at this moment, he was sure that he was going to lose. Luckily, he had noticed that Jack was not coming after them.
After placing Alicia down, he decided to take some rest, before the two of them could continue and go back to the stronghold. This trip was supposed to end here, considering that, they had already encountered a person that had already broken the genetic lock, and they had offended him.
"Uncle James, why did you agree to his conditions? Aren't you supposed to be stronger than him, you could have simply taken him with us." Alicia complained. She felt that, it was going to be a difficult task to be able to encounter Jack ever again.
After all, she had just tried controlling him, and for that reason, Jack had been angry at her. Additionally, from his current capabilities, it was obvious that he did not possess a simple background. So, he might actually use his background to make sure that she did not ever get closer to him, nor the people that he cared about.
"It is not that simple. That young man has already reached the second stage of the superhuman level. And, just from the aura that he possesses, I can tell that I will not be able to defeat him that easily." James replied.
Alicia's eyes suddenly widened in surprise. This was the first time that she had heard James saying that he was not capable of defeating another person, who was at a lower level than him so easily.
Additionally, the information that, Jack had already reached the second stage of the superhuman level was enough to shock her. That level was not something that could be reached easily. But surprisingly, Jack had managed to do that at a young age.
"Uncle James, do you perhaps think that I can make him agree to marry me? If I know his background, I'm sure that we can convince his parents to agree for the two of us to get married." Alicia said with her eyes glistening with excitement and expectation.
She didn't believe that it was going to be a difficult task now if she wanted to get Jack. As for his love, that was something that she was going to try and get it after a period of time. After all, it was only recently that Jack had come to know about her, while she on the other hand, had known about him for about 3 months.
"That might actually happen. But, I am not sure that that young man is going to agree to marry you. From the looks of it, he hates you." James said as he looked helplessly at Alicia.
Previously, when she was being forced for the arranged marriage, he pitied her. And after she decided that she was going to look for a person that was way better than the one that they had decided on, he had also decided to go with her, just to ensure that she was protected.
The family that she belonged to, had several enemies. And, there was no guarantee that there was not even a single one of them that realized that she had left, even though she left secretly. Even her parents did not know where she had gone to.
And, to say the least, if it was Jack, then, James thought that he was actually a good candidate for marriage for Alicia. But, it was just that, it didn't seem that Jack had any good feelings towards Alicia.
But, this was to be expected considering that, Alicia had already done something to the person that Jack loved, and additionally, she had also tried controlling him. As a man, he was prideful. So, it was normal for Jack to erupt, and try killing Alicia, as she had tried turning him into a puppet.
If Alicia was capable of making Jack love her, then, to say the truth, Jack would be way better than the person that Alicia's parents had decided on.
"It is going to be troublesome knowing about his background. After all, for him to be here, he might be just like you, coming out without informing anybody else. Additionally, had he not revealed it, then, I would not have realized that he had already become a superhuman." James sighed as he said.
"It doesn't matter. There are still 9 months. I do believe that in these 9 months, I will be able to find his background, and convince my parents to go over, and try to get the two of us married." Alicia said determinedly.
But still, she knew that it was going to be a difficult task for this to happen. After all, it was also something that concerned whether Jack was going to agree on the matter or not. Moreover, what kind of relationship did he share with his parents?
them that she was the best candidate.
If his parents were like hers, the ones that only cared about the benefits of their family, then, she believed that they were going to agree. And if they only cared about their son's happiness, then she would have to find another way that she was going to convince them that she was the best candidate.
After all, currently, as compared to Celine, she was way better. Celine was weaker than she was, she herself possessed an ability, and more than that, the background that she possessed was also incredible.
During the time that she had been here, she had already investigated about Celine's background. And, she came to know that, Celine's parents were just normal people. So, she thought that this was going to be her advantage. n0veLUsb.c0M
"Alright. We have to get back to the stronghold as soon as possible. I'm not sure about whether Jack is going to do anything or not, but, it is going to be better if we are back in the stronghold." James said after a while.
He believed that, for someone like Jack, someone who had already broken the genetic lock, then, he was considered important to where he came from. So, it was going to be considered normal if there was a guardian with him.
If Jack suddenly decided to send the guardian to come over and deal with them, then, it was going to be problematic for them. A guardian of a person that was already at the second stage of the superhuman level was bound to be stronger than that.
"Can we at least go and deal with Celine? I have to ingrain an idea into her mind, so that, she and Jack can break up finally. After all, it has to be natural, and I have to make sure that Jack doesn't notice." Alicia asked, completely reluctant to continue knowing that Jack and Celine were together, when she was back at the stronghold.
"That will not happen. You have to remember that, Jack has already given us a warning. If you start messing around again, then, there is bound to be consequences for that. Moreover, it will not be a problem for the two of them to part ways after we convince his parents." James shook his head as he responded.
Although reluctant, Alicia had to agree with what James had said. And, knowing that Jack already hated her, it was better if she did not try to earn more of his hatred. It seemed that he did not hate her that much, in that, he would risk everything to deal with her.
But, the same could not be said if she did something to Celine. 'I hope that during the time that I will be away, the anger that you are having towards me will have already calmed down. At that time, I do believe that I will be able to win your heart.' Alicia thought to herself.
'As for that Celine, I will have to look for another way to deal with her. Perhaps I can recommend someone to come over and look for her, cause trouble, and ensure that Jack breaks up with her. That way, I will be able to increase the chances of winning his heart.'
As she thought of this, a malicious light flashed in her eyes, before disappearing. Still, everything was just a plan. She had to ensure that everything was in position, to ensure that nothing could be traced back to her, before carrying out the plan that she had In mind.
At that time, she will be able to win everything that she wanted. It was not just Jack's love, but, even his attention, completely undivided. If Celine continued to stay in his life, even if she managed to convince his parents and the two of them got married, Jack would still care about Celine, considering that he loved her.
"Let's hurry up. I want to get back to the stronghold and talk to mom as fast as possible. There's something else that I will need her help with. After she hears what I have to say, I'm sure that she will be thrilled." Alicia said in an impatient voice.
"Give me a minute to take a rest first. After that, we can depart." James replied helplessly. At the same time, he already knew that Alicia was never going to give up. For her to be meeting with her mother, that implied that, she was planning something sinister. That was the only side of her that James was afraid of.
