The encounter with the nameless lady and the two Elemental Rulers was a bit chaotic, but it was still better than what Alex had previously planned.
Alex had planned to corner one of the clan elders when he came for him, and if they could agree to a deal, then great but otherwise, he planned to kill him and hope that the remaining elder would be sensible enough to give him an entry spot.
In this entire process, Alex might need to get his hands dirty by killing more than just a single individual and that was something he wanted to avoid.
While in his second life, he had killed others, it had never been solely for his own benefit and even those he killed were the scum of society, such as the demonic cult members and actual demons.
Alex could comfort himself by thinking that it was self-defense or that the Cult elders were not really good individuals, as they were waging war for power.
