Chapter 308: The Wedding Chaos

Chapter 308: The Wedding Chaos

Harvey had to say it. He was very nervous. He had never been this nervous for a long time, but today he was!

As Caspian and Victor battered at each other, he got the entire image.

Victor was trying to cuckold Caspian... Yes... Was he a fool? Harvey wondered.

No... Victor was not a fool!

Harvey squinted his eyes... What was this brat playing at?

...

The girl stood there looking coldly at everyone.

“Nova?” Caspian asked in shock as he looked at the girl who locked stubbornly at him. There was a 10% chance that she might appear here, but he didn’t expect it like this.

He quickly appraised her.

; ; Name : Nova Von Astrom

Class: Fire Starter

She was the real one! Why was she here? Didn’t Mirage fail to locate her?

Many attendees began to whisper to each other, not sure what to make out of this.

Thodorede glared at his son, not sure if this was a part of his supposed perfect plan or not.

“SHE IS FAKE! SECURITY!” Victor screamed while pointing at Nova as if he was troubled, but no security personnel answered, they were all seemingly unconscious.

The brides on the stage began to look at each other wondering what was happening there. Victor didn’t inform them of everything. They were supposed to just play along, but now they were not sure if this girl was the real one or not.

“SHE IS A FAKE!” The Nova on stage claimed. Totally ignoring the attendees’ inspecting gazes.

“No... I am the real one,” The new Nova calmly said, “And proving this is extra easy!” she added as she took out a strange talisman and then threw it in the air. A sudden burst of light drowned everything in the hall.

“Look at the truth!” the new Nova said, gesturing toward the stage.

Under the astonished eyes of everyone, the Nova on stage began to slowly turn into a man. A very handsome and feminine man, but nevertheless a man!

“Ssssssssssssssss...” the crowd hissed in shock. Even Lara who was faking being unconscious was shocked. Wasn’t this Alex? Why was he here?

“Alex! What are you doing here? Why are you acting as Nova?” Victor pointed to Alex and asked in shock as if he had no idea what was going on. Totally shameless. But subjectively he was avoiding a lot of trouble by announcing that he knew nothing of this.

“Ah... You told me to?” Alex was quite clear that there was no need to lie here. Victor almost kicked her ass.

“ALEX DONNER! I KNEW THAT NAME WAS FAMILIAR!” Caspian said, “The last surviving member of the infamous thunder sect! I remember seeing you once in a tournament back then!” he added, making Victor pause and frown.

Sh*t.... He didn’t expect Alex to be identified this quickly, she never told him she met Caspian before.... Damn her!

The plan needed to be readjusted. He quickly notified everyone to switch to scenario 51/A. It was not perfect, but it was the best option!

On the other side, the attendees began to look at Alex in shock. Was this Alex? The one on the council's wanted list with a very big award as he might hold the key to knowing what truly happened regarding the Mantis incident.

Olaf, the family butler, like others looked at Alex and then glared at Victor and Theodore for not reporting this. They totally ignored him.

“Alex? Is it true?” Victor asked as he had no idea.

“Please don’t be mad, young master... Yes! I am the heir to the Thunder sect!” Alex nodded, she was aware that she must not let the world know that Victor knew about her. “I just wanted a shelter so I decided to use you! I didn't mean you or your family any harm...” she said as she tried hard to remember the script Victor gave her last night to study on the road.

“I don’t care about that! I just want to know how you turned into Nova! Can I do that too?” Victor asked in a perverted tone, totally stunning the listeners. That’s what he cared about? Well... they wanted to know too!

“Ah...” Alex didn’t know how to answer that.

“It was a body-changing pill!” Nova, who was watching the show, said coldly, clarifying, “The rare talisman I used reversed the effect of all temporary body modification in this hall!” she said to Caspian, explaining why his Talisman didn’t work.

“I see...” Caspian nodded. This made perfect sense!“Oh...” Victor opened his eyes wide. “Body changing? Where did you get it? Do you have more?” he asked the flustered Alex as if he had no idea.

You gave it to him! Don’t think that I don’t know that you stole some sanitary napkins from my house and used the blood on them to ask an alchemist to make them!” Nova said, “He wanted to marry me even if only in the name to humiliate us!”

“Oh!” all the attendants looked at Victor like he was a pervert... Especially Nova’s family. Stole what? when? how?

; ; VIVI’S BLESSED SPEAR , A

Caspian gasped... SH*T. Without thinking, he knew what to do... This bastard and his spear needed to disappear forever no matter what or his entire plan would be ruined!

Caspian quickly activated his life-saving treasure, the SSS-ranked artifact, The Gate Of Doom, He took it from his ring in a split second and aimed it at Alex without thinking. It was a tiny red oak-wood box that once opened released a flash of a black light that evaporated everything in its path.

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM....

A huge explosion shook the hotel, as a hole was opened in its side.

...

“Watch out!”

“A BOMB!”

“JUSTICE IS SERVED AT LAST!”

“POLYGAMIST SHOULD DIE!”

"Arrest them! they must be culprits!"

The people below the hotel began to flee in chaos as the explosion from above made some debris fall. Nothing major though.

“Breaking news! A sudden explosion broke the white hotel” Gloria said as she got shoved by the people who ran around her. She was not running, this was her chance “We have reports of....” she paused as the cameraman gestured for her to stop then looked at his camera.

“What now?” she scolded.

“Strange... We don’t have a signal...” the cameraman said as he looked toward their van... it was not there.

“What’s wrong?” Gloria asked.

“Where is our Van?” the cameraman asked as the people around him began to calm down and look up.

“The van?” Gloria asked as she looked around searching for the damn van while sweating. It was not there. “Could it have been stolen?” she wondered as began to panic.

She had begged the editor for this chance for the entirety of last week! But he kept telling her that it might be dangerous.

If something were to happen to the channel’s high-tech broadcasting Van she would have to literally sell her body to pay for it.

“It’s there!” suddenly the camera said, making Gloria notice the van.

She quickly ran toward it to discover that it had been completely ransacked.

The recordings were all gone!

...

The smoke slowly cleared from the hall as most players stood up and began to look around. Most of them were veteran players and a little explosion didn't really faze them. Only noobs like Archie, Gary and April were scared.... No Archie was no longer in the hall.

Harvey and Amon on the other hand were part of the few who didn't move at all. They remained relaxed in their seats from the start, watching the show.

Alex, who was standing proudly in the center of the hall before, was no more. Only the broken shaft of her Spear and some dregs of the wedding dress she was wearing remained.

Behind her, the mark of the destruction ray was left. A black streak of soot dug through the marble tiles and reached the walls in the back which had a new big hole as a decoration.

Thankfully, no one else was hurt, as Alex was standing in a safe spot, and there was no one behind him! Just the stage was a little damaged. The old Priest was the closest one to the destruction ray, but he was lucky that he was already unconscious, or he would have completely lost his mind at the sight of death passing a few inches to his right.

Caspian slowly closed the box with a bead of sweat going down his eyebrow. He really overreacted there. That banishment effect was not enough to hurt him, but when Alex suddenly said that he was a demon, and with everything happening around bewildering him, he lost his cool. Thankfully that hateful blessed spear was destroyed!

Sh*T! Caspian looked around at the wary attendees, They were not shocked about the death of a man. Unlike their still-unconscious friends, they were players, they didn’t care about the lives of a few men. But the escalation of events was really beyond their comprehension.

Hopefully, no one would believe Alex’s claim that he was a demon... They probably already forgot about it. Caspian convinced himself.

Victor at the stage was gaping in shock with his brides who were gasping in total disbelief. They were wondering if this was all part of Victor’s plan.

Other than them, there was only one little girl who was also shocked, but for the right reasons.

Alex was dead! She couldn’t believe it.

Lara’s eyes were filled with tears, but moments later a whisper in her ear made her open her eyes wide and look at her shameless esteemed brother. “Alive? Really? What show?” she asked herself.
