After traveling for a few hours, Alexander and his father, Alcatraz decided to stop to eat their lunch.
"Son, I know that you've got a new quest this morning but I forgot to ask. What did you get from your system?" asked Alcatraz while Alexander was stuffing his mouth with the cooking of his mother.
"Ohg yerrgh! (Oh yeah!)" said Alexander while his mouth was full.
"Okay, chew everything in your food before you speak. What is the quest that you received?" said Alcatraz as he looked toward his son.
Upon hearing his father, Alexander tried to swallow fast all the food in his mouth before he began speaking.
He said to his father, "My quest is to recruit three people, dad! I only have a week which is why I was shocked earlier."
"I see, that's the reason why you shouted in the morning! Next time, even if you are shocked about something like that you must never shout! If you want to become King then you must learn how to control your feelings!" said Alcatraz.
He continued to guide Alexander as they eat their lunch. As soon as they finished, they immediately departed because it is very dangerous to travel at night. Alcatraz wanted to not endanger themselves so he rushed their travel without a moment of hesitation.

After a few hours, Alexander and his father were able to reach their destination. "Wowww!" Alexander could only say as their carriage entered the gate of the city,
It was his first time to come here ever since he was born. He was amazed by all the buildings and great structures that the capital has to offer to them. "I thought we are going to the cathedral, dad?" asked Alexander after a saw his father taking a turn to the left. He can already see the huge cathedral when his father took that turn so he was confused.
"You already have a system so we don't have to go to the cathedral. We have another business here in the capital so you better be quiet because of what I explained to you previously," said Alcatraz as he was driving his carriage.
Upon hearing his father, Alexander had no choice but to keep quiet because he was afraid of being in danger if any person knows about his secret. After riding the carriage for a few more minutes, Alcatraz and Alexander managed to arrive at an inn inside the royal capital of the Frieden Kingdom.
"It seems like we can't go back home before the night comes so we better check in to this inn, son."
After checking in with the inn, Alcatraz and Alexander immediately went to their business at hand. After all, it is the main reason why they came to the royal capital in the first place.
"Where are we going, father?" asked Alexander as he walked together with his father.
"Don't ask too many questions. Just follow me," said Alcatraz with a serious expression.
Alexander decided to do as his father wanted him to do. After walking for a few dozens of minutes, the two of them arrived at the slum area of the royal capital.
Alexander was shocked by the scene that is happening before his eyes. There are numerous malnourished children that are playing tag. There are some fights with gruesome scenes for his eyes to see.
Upon realizing what his son was currently feeling, Alcatraz said to his son, "Don't be afraid, son. I am going to protect. Sorry for bringing you here but this is the only place where I know that could protect you and your new identity."
Alexander nodded upon hearing his father's words. The scene in front of him was the annex of the society so it was pretty eye-opening for a child like himself.
After walking for a few more minutes, the father and son duo was able to reach their destination. Alcatraz knocked at the door with a secret knock until one person decided to answer him. The person behind the door asked, "What is the password?"
"There are always shadow in the light," said Alcatraz in response.
Upon hearing him uttering those words, the person behind the door immediately opened it to let Alcatraz and Alexander in.
"If it isn't, Alcatraz? Long time no see, one of my old customers! What can I do for you today? Is this your son?" said the person who just opened the door.
'Long time no see, Samuel. This is my son, Alexander. We came here for some business, you see," said Alcatraz with an indifferent expression.
"Oh ho. It's been a long time, my friend. Tell me what this is business that you are talking about! Is this like your outcast wife?" asked Samuel with a devious expression.
Alcatraz lost his cool when he heard Samuel so he immediately grabbed his neck saying, "HOW DARE YO-!?"
Before he could even finish what he was saying, he immediately realized that he brought his son with him on this day so he refrained on what he was going to do with him.
"Relax, my friend. I am just joking with you. So what's your business here today with me again?" he asked.
"My son managed to get a system from another god in another country so I need a new fake one for him as well," said Alcatraz with a serious expression.
"Oh ho, Is that so? What did you get, little boy?" asked Samuel with a devious expression.
Upon hearing him, Alexander did not hesitate in answering him. He said with a smile, "I managed to got a-!"
He was about to finish saying it when his father shouted saying, "DON'T TELL HIM!"
Alexander immediately realized his fault so he decided to shut his mouth at the next moment. "That's none of your business, Samuel!"
"You are so serious, Al! Well, my fee nowadays are expensive! You must pay upfront before I start this!" said Samuel while smiling.
Upon hearing that, Alcatraz immediately handed him a bag of money.
"Is that enough?"
