Chapter 1049: "You Did What?!



Alexander called a limo service that served the airport's private hangars and told them the number of the hangar they were parked in, requesting transport for one, while the rest of the group started filing out of the aircraft, glad to stretch their legs.

Everyone went to Aapo, wishing their farewells, as he nodded and kept words to a minimum, trying to look at them as little as possible while his face burned up.

It was easy to see for all of them that we didn't like goodbyes, and most of them were comprehensive about it, keeping their words to a minimum.

But not everyone was so thoughtful.

"Thanks for coming, Aapo!" David's voice echoed from the plane's staircase.

"I hope you come with us again on the next hunts, dude!" he added, not even bothering to

leave the stairs.

Aapo waved his hand, not turning around, thinking it was enough of an answer. But David wasn't satisfied.

"What, not gonna answer?" he asked mockingly.

Aapo mumbled a reply, but even those closer to him barely heard him.

"I couldn't quite catch that, dude. Come again?" David doubled down.

He was trying to beat away the shyness from Aapo in his own twisted way. His way of being a good friend, he thought.

"Sure. I'd be glad to join again," Aapo reiterated, a little louder.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

"Louder, bro! I can barely hear anything from the thunderclaps earlier!" David shouted, acting like he was half deaf.

Alex turned around to glare at him.

"Knock it off, asshole. You heard him fine. You could hear a pin drop in the bottomless pit you call a heart, you shithead," Alex admonished him.

David laughed his ass off, waving his hand at Aapo's back.

"See ya around, bud!" he hollered before returning up the stairs to the aircraft.

Alex sighed loudly, shaking his head annoyingly.

"What are we going to do with his crappy attitude? I swear he tries on purpose to get on everyone's nerves," he groaned.

Alex looked at her with a wry smile.

"Nothing much. I might have roughed her up to cool off her delusions of power and growing arrogance. But I swear I left her alive. I'm sure a passing Cessna found her after that, he he he..." he chuckled nervously.

"A passing Cessna? Where the hell did you go with her?" Kary asked, worry growing inside

her.

Alex scratched the back of his head nervously.

"I might have left her in the James Bay, to cool off on her own..."

It took Kary a moment to comprehend what he told her, and face scrunched up in anger.

"You left her for dead in an inhospitable environment? Did you want her to die?"

Alex exhaled tiredly.

"I might have at the moment. I'm sure she's okay, though. She was strong enough to invoke an armour that was at least at the legendary grade. I'm sure she woke up from the beating I

gave her and found her way back..."

"You left her unconscious?!" Kary whisper-shouted, baffled by his words.

"What if she died? Who is going to run New Eden? What if they never reconnect the game servers, and we can't go back until the demon invasion happens?" she asked angrily, pulling him away from the others.

Alex followed her without resisting. He was guilty, so there was no point.

"Like I said, I'm sure she's fine. She was a resilient little bitch. There is no point in worrying about her right now. Let's focus on the Zhong Kui, yes?" he asked, trying to worm his way out

of this argument.

Kary glared at him, cursing under her breath. But he was right.

"Fine. But once this is done, we are doing some research. She better be alive, Alex. Even if she

was a cunt, she didn't deserve to die."

Alex nodded his head reluctantly.

'You say that, but you weren't there to hear her delusions...'
