Chapter 59: CHAPTER 59 – Stephan Arrived.

"That's good!!" X2

Both Alice and Ann exclaimed at the same time, while Noctura just rubbed her head on Alex's stomach.

Right now, they were inside their car in the parking lot.

Alex already told them about what had happened and to say that they were shocked by the turn of events would be an understatement, but the emotion they felt the most was happiness.

They were elated when they heard that Alex had taken the mana core back from the thief. Even though they had decided to sell the incomplete mana core as it would help them in the long run, somewhere in the back of their minds, they had the feeling of loss.

So, of course, they would be happy when they heard that the mana core was back to them.

"I know," Alex spoke with a smile while patting Noctura's head, causing her to purr in satisfaction.

However, Alex didn't tell them about Argon being from the future or anything related to it...yet.

"But what about 'Monarch'?" Suddenly Ann asked this question as it came to her mind when she thought about it deeply.

"Hm...." Alex started pondering about it as well.

He never looked at the Association as a threat as he knew they wouldn't be able to harm him even if they tried their best. This was the reason that he never thought about this question.

"Well, 'Monarch' might get really angry if his item is said to be stolen from the Auction and they are not going to compensate him.

But it will be fine if they gave 'Monarch' the perfect amount Monarch asks for the Mana core."

Alex spoke with a shrug.

He let his body relax on the seat and closed his eyes while his hands still caressed Noctura's soft and fluffy fur. He was giving the girls time to understand the meaning behind his words.

"So, you want to fight the Association alone?" Alice asked unsurely after a while.

"Hm? Why would I do that? 'Monarch' is going to do that. Don't tell me... You think I am 'Monarch'?" Alex started speaking casually but reaching the end, his words were filled with fake disbelief.

However, his acting was so good that if the girls didn't know for sure that Alex was 'Monarch' then they would have actually started doubting their own words.

Just as Stephan stepped out of the car, every single person in the crowd quieted down. Even if Stephan was not strong anymore, it was something that only he knew, except Alex, of course.

So, just Stephan's presence alone was enough to cause the commotion to vanish.

The high-ranking guild leaders who were capable of standing even in front of Stephan were not present there at the moment as they were either sitting inside their car just like Alex's group or they had hurried towards the nearest healing place to get themselves healed.

The remaining people were not someone who could even resist Stephan if he wanted to do something, so they decided to remain quiet.

"Search for Luna Tuner, and any other valuables you can inside of that debris," Stephan spoke without looking back and the guys following him hurriedly nodded their heads and ran towards the collapsed building to do what they were told.

Now, some people will have a question – Why was Stephan not here in the first place?

Well, Luna doesn't like her work being supervised by someone other than her, and with Stephan staying in the Auction building, the people from the Association would listen to him instead of her.

So, she asked Stephan to stay in a hotel nearby and Stephan did just that as he didn't want to start a fight. He could tell that she really didn't want him staying in the Auction building and he needed to go out or there would be a fight.

If it was before then he would have just scoffed at her and taught her a lesson, but unfortunately for him, he was still powerless.

There are people who can still fight well without their abilities, but Stephan is not one of them. Even if his swordsmanship is good enough to defeat monsters, the same can't be said for humans.

He had been using his ability to stop time and kill people without a fight, which made him have little to no actual battle experience, so, if he were to clash with Luna, who has her own unique fighting style, the result would be an easy win for Luna.

As the raiders from the Association looked through the remanent of the Auction building, Stephan walked towards the staff of the Auction house passing through the crowd.

Then suddenly his eyes turned sharp, and he did something that shocked many people there....
