"O-of course not," Alex stuttered and scratched his head embarrassingly, "Thank you."
"No! It is me who should thank you!" Valery said as she hugged him.
Xavier observed everything with a scowl. He couldn't hide his jealousy.
"Welcome to the team," The only one whose face was still normal was Ludic, he stepped ahead to greet him.
"I'm sure you would have a lot of fun!" Valery added after the greetings were over.
"Well, I'm also sure of that," Alex said with a smile, "This is surely going to be interesting."
His lips were curved up in a sincere smile but deep in his eyes, there was an icy glint. If he didn't have his sharp senses and his appraisal skill he would have been fooled by a group of saints, no half-step Demigod's adventurers pretending to be weak. He was curious about what they would do and he was playing this game because it was boring to play the almighty all the time, sometimes you need to have fun for a while.
