Chapter 818 A Month Of Missed New Eden

After a few minutes of talking it out, Mr. Gu left Alexander's penthouse with a new objective. Getting the Zhong Kui to back off.

He originally was against the idea. But a voice in his mind kept bugging him about something.

What would happen if Jack discovered that the Zhong Kui attacked Alex and Kary? What would his reaction be?

The only answer Gu Fang could think of was mad. Extremely mad.This chapter is updated by nov(e)(l)biin.com

Even if Mr. Boudreau had been worried about Alexander's transformation, he never wanted more than to keep an eye on him. They were still partners, and having him suddenly killed would not benefit him in any way.

So, he needed to keep this under wraps. Alex, David, and Kary agreed to keep mum about this in front of Jack, the latter reluctantly so.

Now, he needed to pull all the strings he could and cash in some favours from all his old contacts to get in touch with his family. His only foot in the door was them.

How they would react was anyone's guess at this point. But he owed them to try.

After he left, Kary pouted for a while, as she would have preferred to drive into him, given this was all his fault. But Alex wanted the matter to disappear, so she laid it to rest.

But this cost him a few brownie points, as far as she was concerned.

Once breakfast was over, David took his leave as well, as he had things to do during the day. He couldn't hang out with them.

Alex sighed as the house became quiet again.

"So many things to do, so little time to do them... And I still haven't seen the mess that New Eden has become. How has that been?" he asked, turning his head toward Kary.

She bit her lip, thinking about what part to bring up first.

"It's been... hectic. A lot of things happened. Between the duel with Aces High and the Inter-Alliance Military Exercises, a few incidents also happened. It's been a busy month. And I don't think the pace of things is even close to slowing down."

Alex looked at her with a curious gaze.

He grabbed her from her seat, lifting her like a princess, as she yelped in surprise, and brought her to the big sofa, which was surprisingly undamaged from all the fighting of earlier.

"Can't we break those contracts forcefully? We have access to the most powerful contract mage in New Eden. Did you ask Aravelle for help?"

Kary gave a disdainful smirk.

"I tried contacting him more than once for many reasons. I can't seem to find him. It's like he doesn't care about us and doesn't want to help us."

Alex frowned.

"That doesn't seem right. Maybe he's busy?"

Kary gave him a look of 'Are you dumb?' before rolling her eyes.

"Never mind. I didn't say a thing. I'll look into it tonight when we log in. There has to be a reason he hasn't helped."

Kary laughed, imagining it would be a waste of time. But she continued her report.

"We also found traces of demonic presence within our borders. But we haven't found a tear or portal yet, which is strange. I can now detect on an extremely long range and still can't find a trace of it. Not even miasma."

Alex looked at the top of her head, wondering how far she meant by extremely long range.

But the subject was more important than that detail.

"What kind of traces?"

"Mostly reports. Torn monsters, strange behaviours from Natives. We even had players report that they were killed without seeing what attacked them. Not many things can take down a player fast enough for that, these days."

"Hmm. I can see why this would seem like a demon roaming. But it is strange that you haven't found anything. I'll look into that, too. Maybe my new forms can help."

Kary nodded.

"Yeah, about those. Care to tell me what happened on your end for a month?" she asked, looking up at him.

With a sigh, Alex replied, "Yeah. I can do that. But it's not a pleasant story..."
