CHAPTER 43 – The First Phase -> Complete.
CHAPTER 43 – The First Phase -> Complete.
"No, just that much is fine." The guy spoke and stood up along with the girls who were still hugging him.
Luna had asked the question after she observed and tested the quality and rank of the items with an inspection orb, which is an inspecting item found in the gates.
That was also the reason for the long silence in the room, but she was a little disappointed as she couldn\'t tell which gate was the origin of those items.
She wanted to find out the origin of these items so that she could somehow use them to trace back to the person in front of her, but alas, not everything is meant to work in her favour.
However, her mood soon got lifted as she remembered the incomplete mana core.
She knew that it was going to bring her profits, as no other item had brought.
"I will get going now, but remember, I don\'t like people disturbing my peace." This was the last thing she heard before the guy and the girls vanished just like they arrived.
Luna, however, was still shaken by how cold his voice was when he spoke the last words, and she realised that even if he seemed easygoing, he was still someone stronger than her.
But that still wouldn\'t stop her from trying to know more about him.
............….
"You guys want me to carry you guys to the villa?" Monarch spoke. Then he took off his mask as they were in disguise, which meant no one could see them, and the guy turned out to be Alex. Surprised, right? I guess not.
"Huh?" X2 Nôv(el)B\\\\jnn
The girls spoke before they hurriedly got away from him with blushing faces that were hidden by the mask. They kept hugging Alex without realising that the role they had been playing was already over.
"Why did you guys move away? I was enjoying my time here." Alex spoke in a fake depressing voice, which caused the girls to glare at him while their faces started burning hotter.
"Also, you can remove your masks, we are safe now," Alex spoke again.
The girls nodded their heads and took off their masks, looking everywhere other than Alex\'s face, and as the mask was removed, their faces were revealed.
The girls turned out to be Alice and Ann. Surprised again, right?
The girls and Alex walked towards the exit of the auction building in a comforting silence.
None of them spoke, but it felt weirdly comforting just walking together, so they let it be.
By the time they walked out of the auction building, both the girls had already calmed down.
They were slowly getting used to Alex\'s antics.
"So, the first phase is complete now?" Alice asked, breaking the silence.
"Yes," Alex answered with a simple nod causing Alice and Ann to nod as well.
They had some questions in their minds such as: What was the change in plan he mentioned before? Was there something they should know? Did he use his commanding ability on Luna?
But they decided to trust Alex as they had been doing till now. They knew that he would not hide things from them if he thought that it was important for them to know it.
They looked towards Alex and found him looking ahead with a thoughtful look as if thinking about something, so, they let him be, not wanting to disturb him.
The next second, however, all of them started levitating, then they felt a barrier around them, and with a muffled booming sound, they were zooming towards the direction of their villa.
They looked towards Alex again, only to see him looking at them with a gentle smile.
"I won\'t ignore you guys, even if I am thinking about the most important thing there is, so, just ask me if you have something in your mind. I will try my best to answer them." Alex spoke.
He could feel that they had many questions, and he didn\'t see any problem if they asked those questions as the worst he would have to do would be to disclose some other pieces of information about his abilities.
"It\'s all right. We trust you." Alice spoke with a sweet smile and Ann nodded her head mirroring the same expression.
Alex, however, was a little surprised, as he was expecting some questions, but then he just smiled and patted both of their heads.
............
As they were moving back to the villa, Alex\'s thoughts drifted back to the thing he had discovered about Luna and the plans he had for the next Phase.
The fact he discovered about Luna was a surprise for him, as he didn\'t think that it was possible in a small and secluded world where Mana was introduced just 5 years ago.
When he was standing in front of Luna\'s office, he felt a movement in his Incubus bloodline which never reacted to anything.
But when he used his All-seeing eyes and looked inside Luna\'s office, he could understand why it reacted like that. His bloodline was just excited to finally find someone of its kind even if it was with the lowest-grade bloodline.
Some of you might have already guessed it but Luna had a Lesser succubus bloodline.
When he said that the plan was changed a bit it was because he had thought of using his human bloodline to command the auction manager to not reveal their identities to anyone and that can only be possible if the said person had a human bloodline.
But then he experimented with something, and it worked wonderfully. He let go of his suppression of the celestial incubus bloodline only for Luna which made her feel like he was a god.
Even though it is not stated in the description of the bloodline, the lower rank bloodline would always feel respect towards the higher grade.
With how high his bloodline rank was, he would be a walking god for Luna who was the lowest rank bloodline for a succubus.
His words were like the word of God for her, and he made full use of it.
Now some people might think, Why did he wear a mask if he planned on using his bloodline?
There is someone or something in this world who can tamper with memories, as Alex had found out from the memories he plundered from the assassins. So, who is to say that there would not be someone or something that could read the memories?
He would simply not let them guess who they were.
They hid their faces with masks while he changed the hair colour of the girls with his disguise ability. The act showed that the guy was the leader and the girls were his lovers, so they were clear of any suspicion.
Why? Because no one would think that Alice would not work under someone, and even if she somehow did that, there is no way they would ever believe that Alice would share a man with someone else.
These things were just for the suspicion to not fall on them and to make the association waste more time trying to search for information about them.
Everything above was part of the first phase of the plans, and that was why they didn\'t take a plane to travel here so as to not get any kind of suspicion over themselves.
For everyone else, they never left the villa for a minute, and they stayed there the whole time; after all, there is no record of them moving anywhere.
But in reality, they were going around role-playing as Monarch and his harem.
Alex, along with Alice and Ann, was moving towards the villa without any worry about the first phase. He couldn\'t have guessed that today\'s experiment was going to become one of his headaches later on.
