Chapter 122 Sniffers
Alex had not the slightest clue as to what was the hierarchy of Gods. He simply called his wife and asked her if she could contact some other God and she said yes, surprising him but also making him happy.
Once the call was over, Alex came back to sit with Jagan and continued to chat.
A few minutes into the conver, Jagan suddenly went into a daze.
A minute passed and as he regained focus, Jagan looked at Alex with a complicated look.
"What did you do..." Jagan asked softly, in total shock and disbelief.
Alex took a sip of coffee and shrugged lightly. "I honestly have no idea."
Jagan's body trembled slightly and he turned his head in the direction of the temple, the complicated expression still there on his face.
"Vidalambha..." Jagan said softly.
Calling a God by his name was not unusual. Devotees usually called their names with an affectionate tone, so even Gods were happy with it.
Alex, Samuel, and Carl didn't interrupt Jagan and let him stare at the temple for a while.
Jagan then got up and knelt down. He touched his forehead on the ground and then getting up, said to Alex with an awkward smile, "I don't have to do the prayers anymore..."
Samuel and Carl were both surprised to hear that.
This guy ended up changing his mind this quickly? Just what had transpired? They both thought.
"Cool," said Alex, not surprised or fazed by it. "All we need to do is find Volkov and Natasha now, then we can go see Hazel."
Jagan nodded. Sitting back down, he asked, "Do you know where Volkov is now?"
Alex shook his head.
"You, Sam?" Jagan turned to Samuel.
Samuel shook his head as well.
Jagan sighed as he leaned back on his chair. "Volkov didn't tell you guys either where he went, did he?" n/.O/.v/-e(-l/-b)(I))n
"Nope. He has always kept things about himself private ever since the end semester of middle school," Samuel answered.
"What about Natasha?"
"She's either in the Middle East or in some North African country," Alex said.
"Hmm?" Jagan tilted his head in confusion. "What's she doing there?"
"Did you forget her major?" Alex questioned.
Natasha was interested in relics and stuff, so she decided to major in archeology. She got a big scholarship after clearing one of the world's toughest exams and joined a big archeological institution, situated in Florence, Italy.
She should've finished her three year course and was now free to roam anywhere she wanted as she got a special researcher ID from the university.
If that wasn't enough, she had citizenship of the US and Italy and got visa free access to almost all places in the world.
As to how Alex knew why she was in a certain part of the world was because in a few years, there should be news about Natasha.
She had found an old relic in Algeria's desert regions and got a terrorist organization after her.
She had to contact the US government and after telling the importance of the place she found, they immediately conducted a rescue operation with the claim that some terrorist had kidnapped one of their most precious researchers.
This was in the news and Alex was greatly shocked to see Natasha there.
Anyway, no further news of Natasha was heard as she may or may not have been killed by the government. Alex wasn't sure about it so he couldn't comment.
Algeria could be a good starting point to find her, but Alex doubted her reaching that place this early. After being rescued, she had clearly stated to the news outlet where she had been and what she had been doing.
She didn't specify the countries she had previously been in as she was supposedly a 'kidnapped' person.
She merely answered that she was in some Middle Eastern country, touring, but then got kidnapped and was taken to Algeria, that's about it.
Alex said a bit of relevant information to Jagan and he nodded his head in understanding.
"So, when are we leaving?" Jagan asked.
"We could leave now, if you're ready."
"Eh?" Jagan was surprised by Alex's comment. "Can you give me a few hours? I have to talk to my family first."
Alex nodded. "We'll leave tomorrow morning then."
Jagan got up and said, "That's fine with me. I'll have rooms arranged for you guys, so relax until then. If there's anything you need, feel free to contact me."
Jagan showed great hospitality and this was all natural from his side. It was because he and his family practiced an old saying that stated 'Atithi Devo Bhava', meaning Guests are Gods.
Whenever Alex, Samuel, and Volkov went to his place, his parents would treat them really well and never send them back home without feeding them. They were quite a wholesome bunch.
Jagan showed them their rooms and Alex, Samuel, and Carl all retired for the day.
.....
Austin, Texas.
Alex's bedroom.
"Get lost! Tis' mine now!" A green-haired girl jumped on the bed and hissed while tightly clinging onto an underwear.
"Fien, that needs to be washed! Give it back!" A girl with fiery red hair exclaimed with an annoyed look.
"No way! You're going to use it to... sniff... haaaa..." The green-haired tried to demonstrate what the redhead might do with the underwear, but accidentally sniffing it, she felt intoxicated and a lewd expression formed on her face.
The redhead knitted her brows upon looking at that, not because she was disgusted, but because...
The girl jumped on the bed and stole the underwear away from the girl called Fien.
Her knitted brows eased and she took a sniff too, forming the same intoxicated expression on her face.
Just like that, these two girls lay on the bed in a totally unlady-like manner.
A cyan-haired girl entered the room and watching the two, clicked her tongue. "Ember, Fien, the fuck is wrong with you guys? This isn't Elysium and there are husband's parents around."
Nix had seen the two fight near the laundry basket when she was trying to wash clothes. They had stolen an underwear and ran away.
Nix had to go get them lest they cause problems and here they were, showing such inelegant looks.
Nix walked up to Ember and snatched the underwear away to go wash it.
However, since Ember had the underwear really close to her face, as if she had been sniffing it, Nix wondered, was it this thing that caused the two to calm down like this?
Curious, Nix sniffed it too.
"Oooohhhhh," Nix got intoxicated as well and passed out on the bed along with the two.
A few minutes later, "Fi-chan, the clothes..."
Scarlett arrived at the scene and was surprised to see the condition of these three guys laying on the bed.
It was Nix's turn to do the laundry today and she had left it midway, so Scarlett had come here to remind her, only to see her laying down on bed with the underwear close to her nose.
Whatever Nix thought, Scarlett thought of something similar and once she sniffed the underwear too, she felt intoxicated and lay on the bed.
Few minutes later, Order, the youngest girl among Alex's wives, walked into the room.
"Fien sis, I am bore— oh?" Order looked at the girls laying on the bed and pretending to be passed out.
Wondering if it was a play or something, she giggled and went ahead and laid down in between them.
A minute later, a blue-haired girl with a gentle expression on her face arrived at this room, in search of Order, who she was supposed to cook lunch with today.
As she looked at the girls laying down in the room, the blue-haired girl was surprised.
A head popped up among the resting ladies and Order said, "Big sis Aqua, come join, we're playing a fun game."
Aqua had no idea what was happening, but with how happily Order was calling her, she didn't have the heart to say no and went ahead and joined her.
More and more ladies arrived at the scene and did something similar and lay passed out on the bed.
Finally, the last girl with silver hair and blue eyes arrived at the scene.
As she looked at everyone laying down like dead bodies on the bed, a vein popped on her forehead.
"You dumb bitches, running away from your duties like that..."
Melissa was pissed and was about to erupt, when someone threw an underwear on her face.
Melissa sniffed it accidentally and just like the first girl Fien, got an intoxicated look on her face.
"Haaa... husband..."
Just like that, all the girls were gathered together in one room due to a single piece of worn underwear and did dumb things together.
An entity with long silky hair, in white sage clothes, was watching these guys from afar with her binoculars and noting things down. There was another lady beside her in green sage clothes watching as well.
"The things our Gods are doing on Earth are so dumb..." The lady in white sage clothes said.
"Forget that. What rank will you put this at in our list?" The lady in green sage clothes put away her binoculars and asked.
The lady in white sage clothes thought about it and said,
"Maybe at number eight?"
"Oh, damn... that's quite high."
"Indeed. But we can always push it to other ranks later if we find something even more dumb," the lady answered.
"True, true," the other lady nodded her head in agreement.
"I'll note it down then," the lady in white clothes said and wrote it down, then closed the book.
The title of the book in her hands read:
Dumb Shenanigans Of Our Holy Ones
Earth Edition, Vol #1.
