Chapter 322: A Wife?

But now, with the close distance and the creature turning its eyes down, Alex created another spear from blood coming out from his back.

STAB! It pierced the creature's pupil.

At that exact moment, the black fog started to dissipate, followed by the creature's solid body. But the awe cube's suction still continued, absorbing part of it.

Alex quickly took all the awecubes back into his storage ring.

He just wanted to take back the blood spear from the eyes when suddenly a huge energy started appearing.

In the next second, the whole place was filled with blinding light.

Jake, who was standing guard outside, could feel an explosion of energy, followed by the dissipation of the barrier.

What he saw inside made his face turn ugly as his eyes darted around the room looking for Alex.

A few moments ago, outside, as the fight finished, MingYue was talking with the others. Emily introduced her to Luca while Olivia tended to Isolde's wounds. Through all this, Isolde's eyes were observing Zold, MingYue, and Quartz.

When Olivia began to heal her, her focus changed once more. 'I am sure now, whatever method they use is applicable to everyone.'

A decision quickly formed in her mind: no matter what, she needed to find a way to learn this.

Meanwhile, MingYue was now locked in an awkward conversation. She could feel Luca's gaze analyzing her from head to toe, and it had been like this for a while now, after Emily introduced her as Alex's future wife.

Luca had only heard some parts about Alex being of the vampire race; Emily hadn't told the part about MingYue. She did this on purpose as she wanted to see her mother's expression.

And Luca didn't disappoint; the information caught her off guard. The only romance she knew of in Alex's life was his crush on Olivia, but it didn't last long. So, to suddenly get the news he had a future wife shocked her to the core.

Her first impression was that MingYue was beautiful, but she could directly tell MingYue was not someone who came from their world.

Many questions formed in her mind about how this happened, 'The last thing I remember was telling him to find a job, then somehow he ended up bringing the guild back.

This already surprised me, but now bringing a wife?'

Seeing MingYue give an awkward smile without rejecting the idea silently confirmed Emily's remark.

"I am Luca, Alex's mother. I am sorry for looking at you like this; the news just caught me off guard," Luca said, as Emily grinned at the situation.

Little did she know Luca had already noted this and prepared to give her an earful after everything was done.

MingYue just wanted to introduce herself when suddenly her expression changed. She felt her connection with Alex disappearing, with Vesa's voice reverberating in her mind.

'Queen, something is happening to King. It feels similar to when he met that Eye being.'

'No, more like King was moved by a similar power that came from that being.'

Luca, meanwhile, thought she had made a bad impression by gazing too long. "Sorry, did I startle you? As I said, I was just caught by surprise."

Hearing this, MingYue replied, "No… It's not that." But she then stopped as she didn't know how to give the news that her son was missing.

After some consideration, she said, "Excuse me, I need to look for Alex. We will talk again later."

MingYue then quickly left the area, making Luca frown.

"Look, Mom, you just made my sister-in-law run away. If you keep doing this, Brother will never get married," Emily said with a chuckle.

"That is not it, something else is happening. Even though this is my first time meeting her, I could guess something is happening with your brother, but how did she know? Do they have a way to talk to each other?" Luca asked.

She knew Emily just wanted to lighten the mood, to take her focus from the situation so she wouldn't endanger herself anymore by taking a risk.

"Yes, they can. I told you how Brother is a half-vampire now, right? Well, both of them are, and they are linked with an invisible connection. So honestly, their relationship is already decided no matter what their choices were."

Luca frowned as she had many words to say about that topic. Having her son's fate decided by something out of her control didn't sit well with her. But she knew that was not the main point now.

She quickly stood up, surprising Emily. "Let's follow her; something is happening with your brother."

"Don't worry, Mom. As I said, he is immortal now. Even if he met some trouble, us going there could just make the situation worse."

Luca's eyes turned stern, making Emily flinch. "I am not a burden, Emily. I can take care of myself."

Seeing that gaze, Emily sighed. She could only follow Luca now. She knew going further would instead become a conflict. Her mother would take no for an answer after having that gaze.

"I will wait here. I still need to recover my mana," Isolde replied.

"You cannot stay alone. Quartz and Olivia, both of you stay here and protect her, then come after us in the spire," Luca said.

Despite what Emily said, or how strong her children had become, she still planned to enter the dungeon and look for Edward with her own hands. seaʀᴄh thё novёlF~ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Luca then moved with Emily and Quartz.

Meanwhile, Jack and Alaric were now cleaning up the city. At first, he planned to go after Jake, but Jake told him to look for Heimdall.

After causing chaos, Heimdall was nowhere to be seen. The shadow he put on Heimdall also told him he was moving to the edge of the city, not to the spire.

At the city border, a group of dark hunters were now busy pillaging any resources they could find. Their priority was medicine, drugs, knowledge, and weapons.
