Chapter 332: William's Task

"Even if it's my fault, tell me, Emily, what should I do with all my feelings? The more I held it up, the more painful it became!"

Hearing this, Luca and MingYue, who walked in the front, stopped in their tracks. Luca had an awkward expression on her face while MingYue frowned.

She knew about Olivia; Alex didn't hide any information about her. She turned around, her eyes cold, while she looked at Olivia, who looked down at the ground.

MingYue had said once it didn't matter if Alex had other partners, but now a strange feeling was appearing in her heart. She found this emotion unpleasant.

It's like a needle is prickling her heart while she has a desire to kick Olivia.

Olivia could feel MingYue's gaze, one that made her feel unwelcome. This made her realize what she had done. Without looking up, she lowered her head and said, "I am sorry, this is not the time for this."

Quartz, who stood at Olivia's side, had concern etched in her eyes.

This was not like the Olivia she knew. It was like her emotional control had taken a lot of hits. Even though her love was unrequited, the Olivia she knew should handle it far better.

The struggle she felt now was not easy, but it should not be worse compared to when the Suzaku guild was destroyed.

Luca put her hand on MingYue's shoulder; she could empathize.

If she had been in her position, she would probably have confronted Olivia, no matter the circumstance. But the situation was complicated now; not only was this not the time for this kind of thing, but the other party was also Olivia. She was part of her family.

"MingYue, I am sorry. Let me talk with her."

"It's fine, Aunt," MingYue replied, her eyes never leaving Olivia.

"Your name is Olivia, right? If you really love him that much, don't you need to say it to his face? Also, you are an experienced hunter; control your emotions."

MingYue's tone was ice-cold when she said this. She then turned around and began walking to their destination.

Luca let out a sigh as she could feel MingYue's atmosphere quickly change. She was very cold now and didn't want to say another word. "Olivia, we will talk about this later," Luca said as she followed MingYue.

Emily looked at Olivia, "I am sorry, sis. This is because of me."

"It's fine. I am just not myself these last few days. I need some alone time. You go ahead. I will follow behind."

Emily looked at Quartz, silently asking what she should do. She felt it wasn't right to leave Olivia alone.

"Let's just go first; she needs some time alone. Zold will still keep an eye on her," Quartz replied.

Olivia walked with slumped shoulders as Zold watched everything unfold without reaction.

Meanwhile, back at Dragari City, two people were confronting each other. They were William and Alice.

After reaching Dragari City, William quietly left the group. Alex noticed this but was focused on his mother at that moment. As for MingYue, she thought Alex had given William some orders, so she didn't worry about his movements.

But Alice realized this and decided to follow him.

She then saw William moving around, looking for something. He didn't go toward the spire but instead to a specific direction.

They arrived at a normal bar that could easily be overlooked. William then tried to enter the building, but Alice blocked his path.

"What are you planning here, William?" Alice asked with a suspicious gaze.

"I just need to do something. Did Alex ask you to look after me?"

All this time, William kept feeling conflicted with this. He didn't believe Alex didn't know he had met with the association president. But even now, he has never asked anything.

So William thought Alex was waiting for him to make his move. While in reality, Alex just didn't care as long as it didn't disturb him.

"He didn't. I am just curious what you want to do. It's not like you to go out by yourself."

"What do you mean? I always go out by myself. You are the one always staying in the building."

Alice frowned, "Why are you getting so defensive? I am just asking what you want to do. I know your reason for following Alex here.

Did someone offer something to you? Hear me, William, there is no way for you to resurrect Roxy here."

William's eyes turned cold hearing Alice's remark, "What would you know? Even though no one has ever achieved it before, it doesn't mean it's impossible. Experience new stories on m v|l e'-NovelFire.net

Many have failed, but so have many other things. As long as there is a possibility, I will never give up."

"I never said it's impossible. Who knows what kind of power exists in this universe? But that is far beside the topic.

My point is whatever you plan to do, betraying Alex will never be worth it."

"Who said I am betraying him?"

"If you don't, then why do you become so defensive? Just tell me what you want to do in this place."

William hesitated. He believed what he was doing was not betrayal, but he knew Alex would not like it at all. He would probably complain.

Seeing this, Alice felt even more concerned. If a fight started, she knew she could not underestimate William. Compared to her, who could not cultivate, William's realm was rising quickly.

She even doubted she could beat him if William went for the kill.

"Just say it, William. We are on the same side. You should know Alex is also very understanding."

William sighed, "Fine, but promise you will let me do what I need. I don't want to hurt you."

"I cannot promise. That depends on what you want to do."

"The association president asked me to activate something inside this building. It may look like a bar, but in the past, this was one of the safe houses for association hunters."

"What device?"
