After Dave left the room, Alex came back to his bed and sat down. His open conversation with his dad made a stone weighed on his heart fall.
The gap that appeared in their relationship during the past year was closed because of a small heartfelt conversation.
Soon Alex thought about the ancient pill. A small frown appeared on his face when he thought about the origin of the ancient. He started muttering to himself.
"According to father, he started searching for medical ingredients for the past year 10 years. It means he started to make preparations to make me a cultivator when I was a child. Why does he need to go to such lengths to make me a cultivator? I feel there are some kind words of secret hidden behind this." Alex felt his reasoning was on the right spot.
Alex may be a slow learner and have difficulty understanding many things, but that doesn't make him a fool. In fact, as an orphan, he learned many things just to survive in the world. He is someone who always believed in 'cause and effect' theory. He believes that every 'cause' has an 'effect', and every 'effect' should be a result of some 'cause'.
The more Alex thought, the more he felt that his father was hiding something from him.
"Is my father's cultivation Sky Profound Realm? If he is a sky profound realm then how did they find those ancient medical ingredients. Can a sky profound realm get ancient herbs? The more unbelievable thing is that they even refined the ancient pill."
"There was not even a story where someone succeeded in refining an ancient pill. Such a pill now suddenly refined and took out by a man who was heaven profound realm. There's some kind of big secret that father is hiding from me."
When he concluded his thoughts, he suddenly remembered his father's words when he inquired about the origin of the pills. He said that he doesn't have the qualifications and strength to know many things about the world.
"It looks like the things at stake are greater than I thought. But it's all right, first, I need to do is to become a cultivator tonight."
"The more important thing right now is to find the uses of these bugs." Alex soon opened his right hand and looked at the star marks.
He stared at his hand only to find out that there are only three star marks. He blinked twice and shook his head just to see there were still only three-star marks. The trace of disbelief appeared in Alex's face, he soon started to count seriously.
"1,2,3...1,2,3.....1,2,3." he suddenly started to panic.
"MY BUG!!!"
Alex shouted in anxiety. Because he knew that this star bug should possess some extraordinary secret but now before even uncovering the secrets of the star bug, one of the four star bugs went missing.
Alex soon started to search everywhere around the room. He flipped the entire room upside down to search for the missing star bug. He searched very thoroughly to the point where he remembered all the things placed inside his room.
When he realized that there was no star mark in the room he was frustrated. He soon calmed himself and looked at the 3 star marks on his hand. He felt that as long as he figures out a way to use the star bug, he may be able to figure out the missing bug.
Soon he sat down and started thinking about how to use the bug. Soon after he started shouting to activate the star bug mark.
"Let me sense the essence of heaven and earth, Star Bug activate....." there was no response.
"Awaken my special physique, Star Bug...."
"Awaken the bloodline hidden deep inside me, star bug....."
"Cure my Broken Soul Deficiency, Star bug..."
"Help me become a cultivator star bug...."
Alex started to shout more randomly as he felt exhausted. Still, the star bug mark on his hand reminded 3. When Alex realized he couldn't activate the star bug he sighed and shook his head.
"Well it looks like I can't get results if I rush too fast, so let's take it slow. Sooner or later I will unravel the mysteries of you guys. Alex stared at his palm and muttered to himself.
"I suddenly feel tired, let me rest for some time. Tonight there will be lots of work to do, so I should be in top condition."
Soon Alex ordered the servants to bring his food. But surprisingly Alex enjoyed eating the foods that are served to him. Alex realized that foods in this world are delicious, even the fruits were 100 times tastier than on earth.
Just like that Alex obtained a new hobby of enjoying eating delicious foods.
He soon changes into new clothes and got ready for tonight's big event. No matter how hard he tried he still can't calm his heartbeat. This only shows how nervous he was feeling right now, no matter how big he talked he still felt dreadful inside his heart when he thought of failure.
Alex left his room and headed towards his father's office room. When he opened the door he suddenly heard a barking sound.
"WOOF-WOOF"
As soon as he heard the sound he was startled. His face turned ashen when he heard the sound, his body moved instinctively before his brain and closed the door.
As soon as the door was closed a Loud sound of laughter came from inside the room. Hearing the familiar sound Alex realized what just happened, so he quickly opened the door.
When he opened the door he saw his father sitting on the chair and beside his father stood a woman laughing with her hands placed on her stomach. She looked around mid-twenties with clear skin and scarlet eyes. Her red long hair flowed till her thin waist. When Alex saw the woman he was extremely excited.
"Aunt Lara" Alex shouted excitedly.
Alex soon came forward and embraced Lara. Lara warmly welcomed Alex and gave him a small hug. Soon Lara looked at Alex and caressed his face warmly.
Lara Rosewood is the only relative from Alex's mother's side. She visits Alex only once a year, and they used to be his happy movements of the year. Alex doesn't know much about Lara, he only heard that Lara was an alchemist.
Lara slightly laughed at Alex's actions earlier and asked.
"Kid it looks like you still can't help but shrouded in fear hearing my Momo's sound?"
"Who said I was afraid, It's just that when I heard the sound of a dog I thought I entered the wrong room, so that's why I closed the door." Alex came up with a reason.
Lara raised a ferocious beast that looks like a pig, barks like a dog, bites like a lion, eats like an anaconda. This beast is known as Momo.
Its only job is to bark, chase, and bite anyone who comes after aunt Lara. When Alex was 10 years old he went to aunt Lara's villa to sleep but who knows that this dog bites anyone who enters the villa during nighttime. So that dog chased Alex throughout the mansion which made him feel dreadful towards that dog.
Hearing Alex's reasoning made Lara giggle and ask.
"Alex if you keep on being afraid of Momo then how will you fulfill your promise towards me?"
"What promise?" Alex was completely confused by Lara's words.
"What, you forgot the promise? When you were a child you promised to marry me when you grew up." Lara explained with a pitiful look on her face.
When Alex saw this he soon started his performance.
"Don't worry aunt, you are like the princess who gets kidnapped by the demon dog, and I am the hero here. As soon as I become a cultivator I will slay that demon dog to save you. Then we shall live happily forever." Alex came forward and held his aunt's hand and said with a heroic posture.
Lara was startled by Alex's sudden play but when she saw a figure appeared behind a small smile revealed on her lips. She kept a pitiful expression and said.
"It looks like the demon dog came to kidnap me"
"Huh???" Alex was puzzled. Soon a voice came from his behind.
"WOOF-WOOF"
A white color dog with an angry face appeared behind Alex. It was tall and fat with sharp teeth on its face, when it opens its mouth acid-like saliva flowed out of it.
When Alex heard the sound he instinctively pushed Lara forward and quickly hid behind her. Except for his face, his entire body started to shake in fear.
"Ha ha ha ha" Lara laughed once again.
"Didn't you say you will slay the demon dog and save this princess? Now, why are you hiding behind this princess." Lara's words resounded in Alex's ears.
"Aunt I think you misunderstood something. I said I will save the princess as soon as I became a cultivator, but I am not a cultivator yet, so it's the aunt who should save her dear nephew from this mad dog." Alex said with a calm face but his hands which held onto Lara's arms were still trembling.
Dave Devan who was on the sidelines shook his head helplessly after seeing the drama between the aunt and her nephew.
Dave didn't have enough patients to watch their Drama so he soon took out the wooden box and slammed it on the table to get everyone's attention.
"BANG!!"
