Chapter 109 : Apology in front of everyone
Following Alex's words, a hush fell over the space, broken only by En's quiet sobs.
Despite the great pressure on him, Alex stayed strong, looking right at Robert without any fear in his eyes.
As the situation seemed to be about to get out of control, Robert suddenly started laughing uproariously.
"Now you look like your father, interesting" as he said this, the pressure on Alex suddenly disappeared like it was a lie.Rêạd new chapters at novelhall.com
Robert turned to En and ordered him "apologize"
"B-But father-"
"Do it
En, with clenched teeth, turned to Alex and apologized amid his tears of pain.
"I-I'm...sorry"
Just saying those words seemed to drain all the energy from En, but he had no choice but to do it.
"Good, but I'm not the one he should apologize to" replied Alex to En apology.
"Then who ?" Questioned Robert.
"Anna" seriously replied Alex.
"N-Never!" Exclaimed En.
"Apologize to her" ordered Robert.
"H-How can you a-ask me to apologize...to a commoner, father?" En asked, his forehead veins pulsating.
"Would you rather stay in that state ?" Asked Robert.
"Y-Yes!"
"Then suit yourself" replied Robert before seating on his seat and completely ignoring En, since he decided to be prideful and refuse to apologize, then it was his problem.
"If you think that your pain will stop once I run out of mana, then you are in for a surprise because my mana reserves are nearly full, and it will stay like that for a long, long time" said Alex as he turned to walk towards the others participants.
"I don't really care if he holds a grudge against me" replied Alex as he shrugged.
"Well I do care since it's me that's going to fight him; Since I'm your sister, I'm sure that he will try to make me suffer like you did to his twin as some sort of payback against you"
"As if something like that will happen" replied Alex with a smile.
"It might not happen, but I'm still going to be the object of revenge of someone because of your actions!" Pouted Amelia.
"As for you Missy" continued Amelia as she pointed at Anna, "why didn't you tell me about the two of you ?"
"Uhm, well, it's kind of-"
"Not now, we are going to have this discussion later, as for now, I have a fight to win!" Said Amelia while strolling toward the center of the arena.
"Good luck" wished Alex, but he just received a snort as a reply, making him smile.
Seconds later, Alex and Anna returned to the participant's lounge.
The moment they came, everyone focused on them, well more specifically on Alex.
'Why is he looking at me like that?' wondered Alex as he saw the look Jonathan was giving him.
While everyone had a curious and some of them even had fearful expressions as they started at Alex, Jonathan instead had an interested smile on his lips as he observed Alex.
'I will ask him later' thought Alex as he sat on his chair.
"I am going to stay standing" said Anna.
"Nonsense, you can sit with us, I'm sure that no one is going to mind, right ?" Asked Alex as he eyed the other.
No one protested, knowing that if they did so, there was a chance that they become the next En.
"See? No one is against you sitting her, come seat next to me" said Alex, tapping the chair next to him.
Anna nodded and sat with an embarrassed face.
After Anna sat down, Alex turned to Talia, that was still seating next to him.
"Now it's certain that we are going to fight against one another, how do you feel about it, beautiful?"
