Chapter 282: Alice's Reason

"Don't make another one like that, and don't experiment on dimensional gates or teleportation.

For now, just focus on making good artifacts utilizing Qi and Mana. By the way, how is the storage cube?"

"Storage cubes are selling like peanuts now. We already ramped up production but still failed to keep up with the demand. Find exclusive chapters on m-vl-em-py-r

As you instructed, we only expanded the production rate up to 100 percent and not more."

"That is enough. We need to make sure the market stays starved. Other than that, has anything notable happened?"

"No, it's just a few weeks. What could happen?"

"You would be surprised how many things happen in one day of my life. Well, I will go then. Continue with your work."

"Sure, Alex."

Seeing his disappearing back, Faerith took out her personal notebook and started jotting down some more notes.

She still didn't forget about the weird egg. Anytime she got the opportunity, she would observe Alex's changes.

'His eyes turned completely crimson now. I wonder just what that egg's origin is. If only he told me,' she thought.

Meanwhile, after leaving, Alice went to the library. She started reading some physics books.

Right now, she was already fluent in Alex's language, allowing her to read even without any external help.

'It seems I cannot do it this way. Should I just come out clean with him?

But what if he suspects me instead?' Alice felt conflicted in her mind.

Meanwhile, as she pondered what to do, Alex had already returned to his room.

His eyes quickly scanned for MingYue, but she was nowhere to be seen. He wanted to telepathically ask what she was doing, but he decided against it.

He could also look for their location based on life force or Qi, but he thought it was good for his sister to get close to MingYue.

"Well, she is probably with Emily now. I hope she doesn't talk nonsense with her."

Alex then walked toward the window, looking at the view. "Alice is very weird. Did something happen?"

A thought then suddenly surfaced in his mind.

"Wait, did she also meet with some strange entity while moving back to this world? But no way, at that time, she was inside my awecube."

But the idea kept sticking in his mind. How could awecube stop a being like that's eyes? And who knows how many beings like that exist?

Knowing he couldn't get it out of his mind, Alex decided to go to Alice.

As he moved to another room, Emily was talking with MingYue. She was now opening an old photo album, as somehow their conversation came to their family.

MingYue was curious about it since, in her eyes, Alex's family was something she wanted.

Hearing about the story made her smile as she imagined her own family becoming like that.

Without realizing it, her coldness was melting gradually. Emily didn't even have that impression when she first saw MingYue.

Her first impression was that she was a charming, beautiful woman.

"All of you look so happy at that time. I am sure it was quite hard after your father was gone," MingYue said as she looked at the picture where Emily still had an innocent, naive smile on her face.

"It was. Many things happened in the gap. How about you?"

"Me? Using the term from your world, it would be correct to say I come from a broken home.

I don't know where both my parents are. As for my other family, it's even more complicated."

"Honestly, it's not that much different here. I know from my friends and colleagues that some of their extended family is just parasites.

They use the familial bond when it benefits them, but when we are in need, none of them come. Just big-mouthed cowards."

MingYue then changed the topic as she didn't want to talk about it further. She did it out of rage, but she felt complicated now, as she destroyed her childhood home.

"By the way, where is your mother? Is she left here, too? Your brother told me a lot of stories about her."

Emily chuckled. "Does that include when Mom threatened to take his money away?"

"Tell me about it."

Meanwhile, Alex had already reached the library. He could see Alice there, reading a book.

"Could you tell me the real reason for that? I know you won't betray me." Alex said with confidence since Alice was under a contract.

He was sure he would be able to tell if it was tampered with or removed.

Alice hesitated for a moment, then said, "This is really confusing, and honestly, I myself only half believe it.

A few hours after I came to your world, a weird memory suddenly appeared in my mind. One I never had any recollection of."

"Tell me everything. I won't judge you for it."

"It's like at some point, I don't know when and how I met with the Fairy Progenitor. She was asking me to help her."

"You helping a progenitor? Are you sure?" Alex asked in disbelief.

Even if the progenitor was weakened, it was still a real genuine one, not like Alex and MingYue, who were just a part of it.

"That is why I also feel it doesn't make sense, but I know where the location is."

"So that is why you want to make that portal. You want to find out if it's true or not."

"Yes, this is important for my people, Alex. She is my race's progenitor. If something happened to her…"

"What will happen to the rest of you?"

"I don't know, but I can tell something bad will happen."

Alex put his hand on his chin, then asked telepathically, 'Vesa, what happens to the species when a progenitor dies?'

'They lose a backing, making them another species up for grabs by the others. But other than this, the species' strength as a whole will be weakened until the progenitor is reborn somewhere else.'
