Alex returned to the hotel once the sun was starting to set. He also bought a room for Lucas and Freya to stay in.
After leaving them, Alex wore a long suit jacket and prepared a gift for Anna. He called it the 'Don't touch me, you pervert' necklace. When activated, it gathers Qi from the surrounding area and stops the person from touching its user. He made it for Anna because of the situation that happened with Kale in the Blacksmithing Guild. He planned to sell this product when his company was set up. He thought it would be good for girls to carry it around. The one he would give Anna had a function where she could send him her location if ever she was in danger.
He checked on his followers and told them that he was heading out. They wanted to follow him but he refused. He then told them to go to sleep. After about 10 minutes, they slept soundly. Alex looked at them and casted Demonic Magic on them. Although Demonic Magic sounds bad, it could also be extremely helpful. He sent them into a type of dreamland where they could train. The enemies thet would face would be the ones he fought when he was young.
This could help them learn their skills quickly. Even if they died in the dream, they would just reappear. It was like a game in the modern world, if the player died he would respawn. This dream fights could also help them develop fighting intent and killing intent. Their minds also mature faster. If they wanted to kill the ones that killed their parents, they would not have to just kill one person, they would have to slaughter their way through to the culprit.
Alex then set up multiple barriers which were a Soul Barrier, a Qi Barrier and a Magic Barrier. He then walked out of their room. He walked out of the hotel and searched for the town's plaza which was where he was supposed to meet up with Anna at.
Once he arrived, the sun was already setting in the horizon. Seeing this scene, he closed his eyes and remembered Yui. He used to look at sunsets like these with her.
Anna just arrived and she saw Alex with his eyes closed. He seemed as if he was thinking about something. She chuckled as she walked closer to him as quietly as she could. When she arrived in front of him, she put her face in front of his. She waved her hand in front of him and tried to see if he was awake or not. Seeing no response, she pouted and turned her head away while crossing her arms. How could Alex ignore her like that?
Just as she turned to look at Alex again, she nearly fell down out of fright. Alex's eyes were now open and he was an inch away from her face.
Seeing her reaction, Alex laughed.
"Who knew you would be scared? Hahaha!"
He had seen everything Anna was doing with his soul power.
"Of course I was scared! Who wouldn't be?!"
Anna clenched her hands together in anger. Alex just pulled a prank on her.
After calming her down with myriads of compliments. They both went to the best restaurant in town. It was extremely fancy and was well lit up. It was a tower with 5 floors. The highest floor was obviously the best one. It costed 50 Spiritual Stones to enter the 5th floor.
Alex was about to pay but Anna stopped him.
"You don't have to do that. I was the one who invited you, so I should pay."
Although she was happy that Alex was taking the lead, she was the one who invited him.
She expected Alex to agree but what came out of his mouth shocked her.
"No, how can I allow a beautiful girl such as yourself to pay."
Alex's words made her blush. She didn't know those lovely words could come out of his mouth.
He then payed the 50 Spiritual Stones. Once they entered the 5th Floor, a waiter brought them to their table. The table they sat at was next to a window which allowed them to view the entire city. Luckily for them, they made it just in time as the sun was still setting. It was a truly beautiful scene.
Alex and Anna then looked at the menu and ordered what they were going to eat. They both talked and laughed with each other. Even though they met today, it felt like they have been friends for years. Many things happened today.
He learned a lot about Anna and she learned a lot about him. She was disappointed to hear that Alex already had a girlfriend, Yui. Although most would give up a this point, she told herself that she still had a chance.
'I won't lose to that Yui girl. Even if she's with him, polygamy is allowed. I can be his second wife.'
Thinking about it, she smiled.
When Alex and Anna kept chatting until they felt a familiar presence nearby, Kale walked into the 5th Floor with 2 women. The waiter brought him to a table on the other side of the room.
Anna had a cold look as she glance at Kale. Alex didn't have any particular reaction as he glanced at Kale. His eyes landed on The two women beside him. He then frowned. He had used his 'Identify' skill. From the information he got, they were both assassins. Their cultivations were lower than Kale so they were probably waiting for an opportunity to strike when his guard were at their lowest.
Alex then took out a box and placed it in front of Anna. She looked at the black and Blue box with curiosity. She then looked at Alex and asked.
"What is this?"
Alex smiled and answered simply.
"It's a gift. Open it up."
Anna held the box in her hands and opened it. She then saw a necklace. She looked at Alex expecting that he explain its functions.
When Alex saw the look on her face, he started speaking about its uses.
"This item is what I call the 'Don't touch me, you pervert'. As its name implies, there are formations on it that allow you to block people from touching you if you don't want them to. It also has a signal function that tells me your location when you use it. If I am close enough, I can come help you."
Anna smiled as she felt a warm feeling in her heart. She guessed that he had made it because of the situation with Kale.
"Thank you, Alex."
She thanked him for the amazing gift as she wore the necklace.
The waiter finally arrived and placed their food onto the table.
