Chapter 198: Alex vs. Elias
Alex’s punches hurt.
Elias’ face didn’t swell for no reason. He also kept puking blood as if his well-developed body was just an image. His pitiful appearance left the crowd speechless as they believed he would’ve been able to retaliate easily.
But in reality, Alex had just too much power. His body had coursing fantasy strength, and he also had left Elias shocked with his swordsmanship.
“Stop it!” Other masters ganged up on Alex, hailing his arms.
Their voices brought Alex back to reality, his power deflating. Even though he had no strength left in his body, he still wanted to punch and use kicks to force Elias to speak. At this very moment, Alex had the confidence that this man before him was the same Elias Deathwill from the game world.
He found it absurd, yet he couldn’t control himself.
“Objects…” Elias Deathwill whispered, slowly raising his upper body. He held his swollen cheek with a smile, “Yes… They are objects.”
Alex’s body froze, his eyes staring at Elias Deathwill incredulously. He couldn’t believe that this man had just agreed like that. He even wore a genuine smile while sharing a little truth about his plot.
Elias grinned, “And you can’t change that, Alexander. They were, are, and will be my precious swords. They will sacrifice themselves for me. Keep increasing their level, for I need high-level sacrifices.”
THUMP! THUMP! THUMP!
Alex’s heart rate increased. It was as if the engine within him overheated as he felt stemming wrath coming from his heart. He gritted his teeth, barely able to control himself.
He trembled, trying to break the shackles that held him back. However, other masters were powerful humans whose muscles were enough to keep a youngster in place.
“Elias…” Alex whispered in a threatening tone like a monster. If it weren’t for his excellent control, the whole dojo would brim with curses.
Elias Deathwill smiled, “What?”
“I will tell the whole truth to everyone… I already got Crystallized Elven Heart from the treasury due to Remia’s quest… I will get more rewards from your quests, level up myself, my beloveds, and our friends, then we will punish you… I swear it on my name!” Alex screamed out of his lungs, surprising Elias Deathwill a little.
Alex wanted to smash this guy’s face once more. He felt like he wouldn’t be able to sleep if he didn’t… However, other masters didn’t even leave him any chance… Worse, Elias Deathwill’s smirk kept widening.
But then, Olivia’s leg went up.
“Ugh!” Elias Deathwill cried as his nose broke. He promptly covered his face with his hand, glaring at Olivia with trembling eyes.
Olivia’s slender leg went down, then she uttered, “Stop hiding that ugly face, Mr. Elias. Let me fucking kick you a few more times, for both my and my boyfriend’s content.”
The crowd went agape, their chins dropping onto the floor as no one believed that girl in these pretty clothes and the innocent-looking aura could exert so much strength and bold language!
Olivia didn’t know what exactly was going on. However, her boyfriend would never attack people without reason. He wouldn’t use his strength like that… And more than anything, Olivia had never felt so much hatred and burning emotions from Alex.
It only meant one thing; she had to satisfy her boyfriend’s anger! And the only way was to do the same, thus, kicking Elias Deathwill’s face.
“Let them go,” Elias waved his other hand, not planning to call the police or any other forces, leaving his earthling friends confused.
He then turned around, exiting the scene as if nothing had happened.
Olivia wrapped Alex’s hand around her shoulder, supporting him. Both of them also left the dojo with everyone’s eyes cautiously following them. Some Elias’ fangirls threw wet towels at them out of spite.
But with one glare, Olivia shut them down.
The couple returned home in a boiling silence.

After opening the doors, Olivia’s nose twitched.
She realized that her mother was back home as a pleasant aroma coming from the kitchen. She also saw her mother’s boots and clothes, so it was indeed quite late already…
Of course, Olivia’s mom was well aware that Alex was already here. She was ready to welcome them, yet she immediately suspected something significant had happened when she noticed Alex’s expression.
Fortunately, Alex had no wounds, so they weren’t attacked by any thugs.
“Are you two okay?” Olivia’s mom, Grazia, asked.
“We are fine. Let us take a shower,” Olivia smiled at her, not wanting to spill out beans yet.
“About time you two take it together,” Grazia half-joked to appease the heavy mood before returning to the kitchen.
Alex and Olivia took a quick shower, then they closed themselves in her room. They had just a little time before Olivia’s mom would call them for some light meal.
Alex had loud and intrusive thoughts in his head, ‘Is he real? Is the game world real? Then… everyone is real… The harem is real, and I’ve done it with real people… Our feelings are genuine, and the threat is… the same…’
“Alex… I can’t understand what is going on, so can you just bluntly tell me what happened?” Olivia asked, her voice laced in worry.
Alex’s countenance flashed with fear, worry, and hesitation. He already had those thoughts happening sometime in the past because of how real the game world was… He still wanted it to be a game so that he wouldn’t hurt Olivia’s feelings.
But he also wanted it to be real so that Deathwill Sisters and his other beloved would share genuine and eternal feelings. He didn’t want to lose them, no matter what it could be.
If a game world suddenly closed and the servers died, then Alex would probably live with a hole in his heart for the rest of his life.
But now that the game world was real, Alex found it unlikely. He believed that the game world would never close… and that there was a bigger scheme behind it…
Nonetheless, his whole life was about honesty and valuable relationships. The scheme behind this whole phenomenon became secondary as Olivia’s heart mattered the most to Alex…
He whispered, “What would you do if Sara and others were real?” He lifted his face, looking at Olivia with evident emotions.
“What… are you talking about?” Olivia tilted her head, speaking in disbelief. But her heart started beating faster and indescribable emotions pounded within her chest.
