At the gate of the city, Alex and the siblings were walking out. Alex was thinking of ways to improve the battle power of his followers. He thought of making enchanted armour for them. He also thought of making life saving treasures to help them escape from powerhouses of this world. He didn't need one for himself as he could probably defend against everyone in the world himself.
Alex looked up and sighed. After finding his parents, he would probably go back to the village. He might also move to a city with them and Yui. He would probably just live with them for 5 years. That is, if he holds back his cultivation. He then would probably leave into space and explore. He had no ambition of conquering the universe or anything like that. He just wanted to slowly get stronger and explore the Infinite universe.
Someone in his way? Kill them.
Want something? Take it
The entire universe against you? amaker them Bow before you.
Basically he wanted to become something like a space pirate or something similar.
"Alex!"
He started walking down the road when he heard someone screaming his name. He didn't see it coming because he zoned out foe a bit. He turned around to see Anna. He looked at her with a puzzled face but then remembered that he forgot to say that he was leaving.
Anna stomped her way to Alex. She gave him a death stare. If looks could kill, her stare would be akin to millions of knifes surrounding Alex.
She looked at him and saw that he was was about to leave. She also looked at Lucas and Freya. After returning her gaze at Alex, she threw a punch at him.
Alex saw all of this in slow motion. His gaze alternated between Anna and her fist. He then closed his eyes to think about the situation.
After thinking for a while, he just let the punch hit him. A small shock wave could be felt.
*Spurt*
Alex coughed blood and spun around. He looked at his followers and winked with a smile then returning to his pained expression. He then fell to the ground.
"Master!" Lucas and Freya understood and acted along.
Anna was stunned for a while as she did not know what to say. She looked a bit panicked and looked at Alex's followers.
She ran up to Alex and checked his pulse. She started panicking as she didn't feel anything. Her mind went in frenzy as she thought she actually killed him.
'He's dead and I killed him. He's dead and I killed him.'
Just as she was about to cry, she felt a hand touching her face. Just then, she saw Alex, as healthy as ever, staring at her.
"You...what...aren't you dead?" She looked at Alex with shock.
"Hehehe... Of course, I faked it. You think such low power could kill me." Alex looked at he with a bright smile. His handsome face wasn't something people of this world could guard against.
"Hey, are you alright?" When Alex spoke, he saw Anna's body starting to shake.
When he lowered his face, he saw tears coming out of her eyes. She kept repeating the same word over and over.
"stupid...stupid...stupid..."
Alex felt bad and just let her cry it out as he had no idea how to handle such a situation.
After about 10 minutes, Anna stood up and looked at Alex.
"You made me cry. As punishment, you must bring me along in your journey. You have no choice, I am coming along with you guys! Let's go!" Anna said with authority. She started walking in front of Alex while pulling Lucas and Freya.
Alex was bewildered but soon regained his calm. He looked at Anna and said in a low voice. "Sure"
