"Mother, I bring him here."
Alia hurriedly ran and came to her mother with a red blushing face, A fine bead of sweat like expensive pearls was collected on her wide smooth forehead.
Her heartbeat was still not calmed down as her heaving bosom was indicating.
"..."
Helen just looked at her coldly without speaking, making Alia look down in guilt, not daring to meet her eye for what she did yesterday.
Guilt was actually mutual, Helen too did not know how to face her daughter since yesterday, Thankfully she can hide it behind the mask of a stern face.
She also knows that she was equally at fault for what happened yesterday. Her body was man deprived. The only reason she was even alive all these years and did not die was because of her S-Rank power.
But everything has a limit, So after some time somehow she was not able to satisfy her needs by supplementing her core energy but a few days ago she somehow wasn't able to do that anymore.
It was very weird as she was able to do this all these years without any problems and then out of nowhere she wasn't able to do it.
She wanted to find a solution to this as soon as possible, But when she did not find it she hardened her heart and decided to find a man.
It's just when that thought appeared in her mind, Her body could no longer hold it together and she fell into a coma.
Her Lust Fairy body is very strong but this is its biggest weakness, It needs to be supplemented with sex.
So when a man(Alex) got near her already sex-deprived body, She moved on instead and the rest is history.
'What happened to Alia? Didn't Alex and she were just a couple for name only?'
Okay sleeping with her daughter is not the main concern for her as it was a medical problem and she was not in her right mind, So it was excusable.
But what is more worrying here is the fact that the man she slept with was the boyfriend of her firstborn and infamous person in her 2nd daughter's mouth, Alex.
For while she was glad as she knew what they had in them was just a transaction for their needs, So there was not much guilt but then looking into Alia's eyes scared her.
Every time she even uttered his name, Her eyes would fill with overwhelming love, This made her more guilty.
Though Alia said she did not mind and understood her this only made Helen more guilty.
As she did not want this to be a one-time thing, Don't be misunderstood, She did not want to share a bed with her like before, But she did want to with Alex.
Since coming to her senses, His heavenly face is not going away from her eyes. When she opens her eyes she visualises him and when closed she imagines him.
He is like a ghost hunting him this day and night, Just the mere thought of him increases her heartbeat as if she was once again an immature woman in her first love.
The guilt is that she wanted to break them away. She wanted her daughter's man to be all for herself. She wanted to lie in his arms all day to smell that natural fragrance of his and feel his comforting warmth.
She thought it would be easy as she knows her daughter very well but now she doesn't know.
As never in her life did she see Alia blushing. She was always like an old glacier, Cold to everyone, Even to herself with a beautiful but rigid face.
She knew the price Alia had to pay for the SS-Rank superpower as this is the rule, Nothing came without paying their equivalent price.
So it shocked Helen to the core to see this new Alia. Even yesterday when she came to him, There was guilt in her words but not in her body language. It was the same as always cold.
"Alia it's not good manners to run away forgetting us."
Alex barged into the VIP room as he owned it and broke the awkward silence between Helen and Alia.
Grace was still holding him looking around the futuristic ward with a look of curiosity, She saw this thing in the movies.
She thought that compared to this ward her mother's VIP ICU is a pretend one in child's play.
"Ohh, You are awake? Have to say you look beautiful in that black suit and pants but still it can't compare with yesterday's one, "Mother-In-Law."
If you want to open a harem and add a mother-daughter duo in it, Then you need to have a thick face and a big mouth. If not it was nearly impossible to pull it off.
Plus he already had a plan in his mind, So this bold personality was necessary.
Helen hearing his words at first was happy but her face turned red visible to the naked eye as she understood the hidden meaning of those words of his.
Alia's face was also burning with shame, She wanted for the first time in her life to dig a hole and hide in it.
"Shut up."
Helen was very embarrassed to be reminded of the shame, Remembering that thing set her body on fire.
She does not understand what this man is made of, How he can do that long without getting tired at all, It was unheard of.
So she tried to reprimand him with her head of family voice but when her words came out of her mouth, They were so soft and slow that she was surprised that she was capable of speaking like this one.
"Of course, I will keep my mouth shut, Dear mother-in-law."
Alex this time acted as if he just felt something trying to control him, His personality also shifted to the more submissive one compared to before.
He spoke to her and went to stand next to Alia. Of course, he brought Grace with her. It is very risky to leave her alone in front of Helen.
'Huh?!..."
Helen was surprised that this quick change in personality, and found out smoothing is wrong with Alex.
Before she also said that he was trying to hold something back but she put that aside thinking it was the overuse of his skill.
But now it seems it was not the case, So she decided to check and spared her spiritual power towards him, Trying to see what is wrong with him.
'System, don't stop her, Let her find out about my superpower and Incubus body.'
Alex knows what is running in Helen's mind, So while walking towards Alia he commanded the system not to stop the investigation of Helen to find out about his SS-Rank superpower and special physique.
This way he will build the foundation, A base work to create a harem with her permission.
After all, creating harem without her permission is not only going to be taxing but also very dangerous as she legit S-Rank warrior, Still being a formidable force.
*Swift*
As he expected, A strong feeling washed over him. As low in level he was not able to detect her spiritual power but he did feel a power covering him and then quickly going away, Which means the system stopped him from moving further.
He very badly wanted to see her shocked face but he didn't as it would expose him making her think it was all his part of the plan.
Well, it is but she does not need to know about it.
'How is this possible? Not only SS-Rank Superpower but also legendary physique? Is he some prophecy child?'
Alex once again guessed right, Helen was shocked beyond belief as she can't wrap her mind around the fact in front of herself.
She always thought that her daughter is a legendary rebirth of the empress, That's why she has an SS-Rank superpower.
As the SS-Rank superpower couldn't appear in this weakened world after the epic war, So only those who are blessed with luck can possess this rank superpower.
Even though she as an S-rank warrior only has an S-Rank power, Which for everyone is a ceiling of the ranking system.
But now there is another person with the same rank superpower as her daughter and what is coincid- No, It was to be connected that his power is related to fire opposite of her daughter.
This news was already scary. If others find out about it they will do everything in their power to get their hands on Alex or say his power.
After all addiction to power is the most destructive one.
That's why no one knows about Alia's SS-Rank superpower, And even with this super strong thing, he was blessed with another one too.
A legendary physique, Which separates geniuses and evildoers.
In history not one who possessed any kinda physique was a normal person, They all became myths and legends.
And here Alex possesses the Legendary-Rank Physique, Which no man in history can possess, He should be the first man, and 3rd human after those two empresses.
Helen tried to calm herself down but she couldn't, The excitement, worry and fear in her heart not allowing her to stay still.
"Today here, I, the head of the Miller family, Helen Miller, announce that Alex Winchester from this moment will be my husband and father of Alia and Rose."
So she did something. She got up from bed and announced it in her commanding voice.
In the ward was a pin-drop silence, Everyone was rooted in their place as if they were under a freeze spell.
Alia looked at her mother with a complicated look, On one hand, she was feeling that surge of emotions again making her excited about seeing her mother and Alex together.
But then there was anger, hate and lots of negative emotions. It's one thing she wants to see together and it's totally another when she tries to steal Alex from her.
He is hers, If he will marry then he will only going to marry her alone, No one else, not even her mother, This is her bottom line that one can cross.
This is a matter of her love, Yes she loves him. Her love might be weird and strange to others but for her, it was as pure as the heart of a child.
She can share a bed with another woman with Alex but not him, So if her mother dares steal her from herself then, She will be the first one to oppose knowing it will be futile.
But she will not give him up until there is breath in this flesh and bones.
Grace was also in a similar situation, But unlike her, she can indeed share him with others but others also wanted to do the same, Which Helen did not.
She had no idea why or how a woman as old as Helen even dared to announce this with a straight face. Did she not even think about her daughter even once?
Did she not even think about what society will say? Grace did not care about society as it had given her nothing but pain all her life but Helen was held high by that same society, At least she should show some gratitude towards it.
'How to stop this?'
Grace's heart was beating faster, Darkness enveloped her as multiple thoughts were running through her mind trying to find a way to prevent this from happening.
But she can't come up with any as the background and power of Helen hold were too much for her pity plans, Once again she felt helpless she felt those early days in college.
A heart where only her Alex had a place now was also consumed by the fear, A fear of losing him forever.
She was desperate. She was like a headless chicken trying to figure everything out, Find a door or at least a window for it to stop but she couldn't, All doors and windows were shut in front of her face.
There was a lot of light in the room but only darkness was in front of her eyes. After all, what she had for is not just love but an obsession, A deep devotion that was being cruelly snatched away from her.
Alex, on the other hand, had a calm face. He looked around in search of something. Soon he found it as he left these two women alone and went there and came back with that water jug in his hand back to this place.
After that, he chugged it down as he might be thirsty and then he
"*Pffft*What did you say?!!!!"
He sprayed that water from his mouth as he with his comically dramatic expression looked at Helen and questioned.
Well, he too was not calm at all. He had thought and prepared for everything that he thought possible but never in his wildest dream he thought of this event taking place.
How can a cold-blooded woman, Who legitimately wiped out hundreds of thousands of soldiers from the battlefield with a straight face, say this thing?
This number is so big that now it was not even a casualty but just statistics on paper, This is a woman even cold unvarying Alia was afraid of.
So it was reasonable to think that she rather try to force him, abduct him or even put him on house arrest than to fucking announce him as her husband.
'System what the fuck you did do to her, She was acting weird.'
So as the nature of humans which is not like to admit when they are wrong, Alex pushed the blame on the system, Anyway it was the last thing that interacted with Helen so it is a prime suspect.
[...]
The system was speechless, How can anytime something happens, It is labelled as a culprit by its host? It's not fair, it wants justice, It is innocent.
'Humm, I take your silence as an acknowledgement of your crime, Who made me this forgiven, You are forgiven, System.'
Alex felt good after blaming the poor system and started running his hamster in his mind to find a way to avoid marrying Helen, As he did not want to be a stepdad or others said dad who stepped up but he wanted to be a daddy.
[...]
The system once again said nothing as it now got used to its host shenanigans, Anyway, as long as he did not get himself killed, System had no problem with Alex.
"I announce you as my husband from this moment, Do you feel honoured?"
Helen looked at everyone's faces as she consciously avoided looking at her daughter but the hateful stare on her body indicated her daughter's current emotional state.
But she had to do this, She was doing this just to save him, Her daughter will understand it later.
After all, In her eyes, Alex had no background but had too much potential but no strength to protect him.
She knew in this world weakness is the origin of sin. If you had potential but no strength to protect it then that boon will become the worst curse you can receive.
There are a lot of rising stars. In this hundred billion people in this world, of course, there will be more people with genius potential.
But did they reach their potential? No, Most of them fall mid-way through their journey, and not for the natural cause but because of greed.
Human's always attracted to what others have. This is the nature of the human mind and the birthplace of greed.
So people with the intention, Shut off people who either create inconvenience to them or want what they had and so the hut of younglings began.
Though now due to that greed, Very few geniuses were born and even got protection from the country which is still not enough to suppress others' greed.
Not when there is not only SS-Rank superpower but also legendary physiques, Even those hidden S-Ranks would come out to get their hands on his power.
It's very hard to get one power but not impossible, So even if they knew the quality would decrease by forceful extraction, They would still do it, As the SS-Rank superpower is still way better than their current superpower.
So she had to do this. If Alex is her husband no one dares to even think of his idea as she is not only in the seven known S-Rank of the country but also 2nd only to the monster women in strength.
There is no other way or at least she thinks that as she herself is also a human with her selfishness.
If there is a proper reason for them to get what she wanted, Then why does she not use it to get what her heart desires? It will also not make her worse of a mother than it normally would but label her as the one who sacrificed for her daughter.
This is hitting two birds with one stone, So Helen decided to do it.
"Honoured?? No, I am scared of it, Mother-In-Law. If my sister knows this she will go on a rampage, And I can't even imagine what my mother would do, So stop joking."
Anyway, what is there to do between us as what wife and husband should do? We already did it and that too multiple times, My waist is still sore from that, You should take responsibility for it."
Alex already figured out why Helen did what she did. After it was not that hard to guess, It was just that he had to make a mental note to himself.
Women who crossed unhealthy obsession levels of favorability behave differently in front of him, So he from now on will not make a plan based on their personality from the novel.
He needs some time to get used to and learn the new behaviour of these heroines but now he was worried that if Helen did not change her decision, Then Amara would really go on a rampage.
"N-No, Mine."
Alex is here thinking about how to complete the task without revealing much, While Helen was thinking about how two new family members popped up of his as in her investigation, He is alone.
Alia and Grace were not in a condition to think of anything else, All her minds were trying to figure out how to stop this but no solution was coming out of it.
And in this desperate time, A white figure stands in front of Alex like a tigress protecting a calf.
Well, technically it was a calf protecting its master as it was Xiao Bai who appeared and hugged Alex's side arms looking at Helen with wary eyes.
*Thump*
Just as Xiao Bai appeared, Helen felt palpation in her heart. An insinuation arose as it warned her about this new member.
Her hand was shaking as she was stared at by Xiao Bai. She felt this overwhelming feeling once in her life by that monster of a woman.
And now here there is the 2nd person who has given her the same feeling.
"S-Rank."
Helen couldn't help but mutter these words as she shockingly looked at Xiao Bai.
Goosebumps appeared on Helen's mature body, She didn't since when or did she even had this feeling ever in her life.
This is a very exhilarating feeling with a weird sense of joy in it, A deep wanting to stretch herself totally to duel with this new member.
But then as she suppresses that feeling of competition, She realised a fearful fact, There is an S-Rank around Alex.
If she could find it with just one look at his potential then that means this new woman also knows it or she as S-Rank will not be close to an F-Rank warrior like Alex.
In her mind, lots of things were going on. She even thought of ending this woman here as Alex's secret also stayed here but she quickly dropped that idea.
As she was not sure she can do it, And even if she did it will not be quite as she wanted, Other hidden monsters will be alerted making her action not only futile but also causing more problems.
So now she was in a helpless situation not knowing what to do with this uninvited guest.
'She can help.'
If anyone is most happy about the emergence of Xiao Bai then that person will be Alia.
Before she was feeling very helpless, She knew even if she goes all out it will be nothing but a moth jumping into the fire, She can never beat her mother.
She blamed herself for why not she trained more. If she did then she should not have been this helpless.
But after Xiao Bai appeared, Hope came with her as she heard Helen calling Xiao Bai S-Rank.
And Alia did not doubt that this woman is S-Rank as now that she was on guard against her mother, She felt that seemingly infinite power surrounding Xiao Bai, Which she only saw in her mother.
So now there was a chance of going against her mother and stopping her from marrying Alex but Alia was still very different from Xiao Bai.
Alex called this woman his pet. How can she be S-Rank's pet? So there is definitely an ulterior motive this woman has for her Alex.
After the betrayal from her mother will not take the matter lightly. She does like that helpless, weird feeling seeing him with other women but he is hers and only hers, No one can steal him.
'Why is she here? She will be in danger if she goes against Madam Miller.'
Grace calmed down from her initial shock and started looking for the logic behind Helen's action, Though she did not find it but her guts told her that there is definitely a valid reason behind Helen's sudden declaration.
Yeah, she of course ignored the comment Alex passed about Helen and him doing what husband and wife are supposed to do, Her mind really filters this thing very effectively.
'Mother should know to handle this situation.'
Grace couldn't help but think about her mother, As she used to tell her tales of these superpower beings as fairy tales in childhood.
Little Grace of course used to think this product of imagination even though her mother insisted that it was all real.
After all, she got mature and very young, So in her eyes, her mother was just doing it to make her happy and give hope by telling her there is a world in the world.
The world of fantasy did not let her worry about their current living as it did not that much mattered but then today she got proof that it was real.
Alex had shown her that world her mother always talks about, If that is the case then her mother should also know more about it.
That is why she can keep calm even knowing that she might once again lose Alex. This mental fortitude is given as she is also a future business queen.
"Hey, Xiao Bai, Are you afraid?"
Alex does not care much about Helen's announcement as there are nearly thousands of ways to avoid it in his mind but only became of the mission he was hesitating before.
But now he was more worried. When Xiao Bai appeared with his bond with her, He feel fear in her heart and her anxiousness.
He does not understand why she was feeling this as Helen is strong but Xiao Bai is a beast and had the advantage of being in the same rank.
Still, He did not waste time thinking and took her in his arms to comfort her turbulent heart.
*Sniff* *Uhwaaa*
As he did that, Xiao Bai was at first startled and scared but after sensing the familiar embrace, She as a strongwoman of S-Rank burst out crying like a child in his arms.
Alex was shocked, Not only he but others too were shocked seeing the strong woman in their eyes bawling in her arms Alex.
Helen couldn't believe what her eyes were seeing, For a moment she even thought of the possibility of being in the illusion but that thought went away as it came because if it was an illusion, She should have broken it by knowing it is an illusion.
But the scenery in front of her didn't change. It was still the same, making her believe that she was maybe in a very strong illusion or that This S-Rank woman was really crying, Which is even more unbelievable.
As every S-Rank has their own pride, Their head can be cut off but can't be lowered, So she has never seen the S-Rank crying nor she imagined if it was even possible.
'Did I misjudged her?'
Helen couldn't help but to think of it. She knew this was not possible as the fear had risen from deep in her heart, proof that this woman is S-Rank but still what she was seeing was also not possible.
Alia too was in deep shock, Though she did not know the pride of S-Rank as much as Helen but she knew that a strong person like S-Rank never cry like this making her wonder if her mom wrongly estimated the strength of Xiao Bai.
Grace was natural or rather her soft heart felt bad for Xiao Bai as she felt that these tears were genuine. She who spends most of her life crying can tell if someone is faking it or not.
"Who bullied you, Xiao Bai? Tell me I will teach them a lesson."
Alex was confused because of a sudden change in Xiao Bai, His sharp eyes directly locked with Helen asking her, If she was behind Xiao Bai's condition but Helen quickly nodded her head negatively.
Now Helen felt ashamed as when he looked at her, Her heart jumped in panic and quickly answered losing her authoritative aura and her pride in being S-Rank.
'System what happened to her all of sudden? Who is responsible for this?'
Seeing Helen decide, Alex worriedly asked the system as he was confused about what could make Xiao Bai this afraid that she cried.
He also became angry as he can bully his women but others can't. If they do, they have to pay the heavy price for it.
Did that make him a hypocrite? Yes but he never denied being one like protagonists do.
[Ding! You are, You left her all alone in a strange unknown place, Remember she thought strongly but her mind is still that of a child, Being left behind by you made her panic and on top of that she also lost her way here making her more afraid resulting in this situation.]
The system quickly came out of its slumber and answered Alex. It was connected to Xiao Bai though Alex can feel her emotions, So it answered him.
'Me?!!'
Alex did not expect to hear it but then he realised his mistake. He was so fooled by Xiao Bai's mature appearance that he forgot that she had just been born a few hours ago and was new to this world.
So of course, she will be like a lost raft in the middle of nowhere in the vast ocean without any destination.
"Xiao Bai I am sorry, I should have not left you there, Will you forgive me? If you do, I will cook delicious treats for you."
Knowing it was his fault, Alex tightened his hug and softly and gently in an apologetical tone said it to her.
He now knows beasts mature very fast but they still need some time, So he had to take care of her during that time like a child.
"Wh-What treats?"
Xiao Bai suddenly stopped crying as her two big icy blue misty eyes looked straight at Alex in curiosity and asked in her childish voice though she was still not able to speak properly.
She is just like a child who quickly forgets the reason she was crying and is distracted by the treats in Alex's mouth.
"Lots of it, I will cook both you and Shapira, Okay?"
Alex's heart melted seeing those eyes, They were clean without any tricks or deceit but only filled with innocence.
In this world where everything is after their interest, She is a unique specimen.
"Yo-u o-kay."
She looked up at him and said, " Alex guessed she had forgiven him but it might be hard for her to speak forgiven.
[Ding! Hidden achievement completed : Conquer Of Heart Of Beasts.
The Beast Storage function is unlocked.]
As Xiao Bai said, The system voice also rang in Alex's mind.
[Ding! Beast Storage is unlocked...
Beast Storage : Do you want to keep a beast with you all the time? But can't do it because of the inconvenience it will bring you?
Lucky for you, You don't have to worry about that anymore with Beast Storage. You can carry your beast in it all the time without any inconvenience for your day-to-day life.

A system like a late-night tele-product commercial tells information about Beast storage and its perks.
Alex, though surprised by it but not too much as he already guessed, System also learns and tries new things to keep them interesting.
He looked at Xiao Bai and gently cupped her face using his thumb. He wiped off the tears from her rosy cheeks, To be honest, He did have the urge to make her cry.
As she looked quite attractive while crying, She is a living example of the saying of weeping beauty.
"You filthy woman, Get away from my husband."
Helen on the bed seeing the two of them acting in this intimate way burnt in jealousy, Her heart was relentless as she thought that her being S-Rank already put her way ahead of this Auntless woman*.
But now with the appearance of Xiao Bai changed her thinking, Xiao Bai thought the same S-Rank as her but looking at her bone age, She should be a lot younger than her.
And Xiao Bai's Yin is also in place indicating she is a virgin, Which also means she has no kids. After all, not all people are like her to go back to being a virgin.
This made her insecure, Though Alex had taken her virginity, But she has kids means there is past baggage, While this woman. Didn't have anything.
So why should Alex choose her? He already had a physical relationship with her giving up her bargaining chips, Now she had nothing to offer him making her restless.
For the first time in her life experienced many emotions. There was fear, jealousy, anxiety, and Insecurity.
A fear that he will choose this woman forgetting her, Jealousy of course because of his being with that new woman, Anxiety about what decision he would make and insecurity is from realising she did not compete with Xiao Bai.
'Wait? Why don't I make my weakness my power? I already did it with Alia, and if I add Rose too then my side will be heavy and I also not have to deal with the government for trying to monopolise Alex.'
But then as with every woman in the heart novel, She decided to use women around her as extra chips to increase her worth.
'Ohh? Where can I find a mother-in-law like this one?'
Alex looked at Helen with astonishment, When Helen roared and asked Xiao Bai to stay away, He just to be on the safe side used an inner voice skill on her and heard everything was in her mind, He was very glad about her to brian to work but he was not surprised.
She is a mother-daughter duo in a harem novel, So there is no problem in her eyes to share a man with her daughter. It just before was an initial guilt but no regret to the actual act of her.
And with a little push, he can indeed make her share a bed with others. Now he was sure that it is a little easier than he initially thought about introducing the idea of a harem.
After all once someone lowered their bottom line then you can always push it back as you want, He just has to do it carefully.
"N-No, Mine."
Just like before, Xiao Bai hugged him from the side looking at Helen with a look of warning.
She knew the word but did not know what husband meant but the thing for sure is that she felt that Helen wanted to steal Alex from her.
So out of instinct does not want this woman to go near him. After all, she can deal with other women as they are weak but Helen is equal or just slightly weaker than her but the experience of Helen gives her an edge against Xiao Bai.
As a beast, Xiao Bai is quite good at judging people's strengths, So she was insecure that if Alex gets Helen, He will not need her anymore.
It seems no matter who they are, They are suffering from jealousy.
"You- "
"Okay, Mother-In-Law chill out, I know you are trying to protect me but rest assured that I am quite safe.
This is Xiao Bai, A S-Rank beast is my contracted beast and there is also a sister of mine who is also an S-Rank and there is a fiance of mine, Who once again is an S-Rank, Also a friend of mine family also has one S-Rank in her family.
So I am quite well protected, Also there is you here. I don't have to fear much with this level of protection."
Alex decided to end this "misunderstanding" with Helen, So he told her his background not only to make her relax but also to put pressure on them by mentioning his family.
Helen and Alia were stunned hearing the words of Alex, Grace does not know much about S-Rank, So she though curious not stunned as she did not know what terror of S-Rank represents.
Alex also did not speak and let this thing sink in the mind of the two of them but of course, He still had a plan in his mind.
While they were digesting the news his facial expressions were changed multi-times like pain, struggle, lust, wanting, and desire back to normal.
No one notices it once again except one, Helen. As she is the intended target.
'What's wrong with him.'
Helen for a second suppressed her shock at knowing there is 5 S-Rank around him, And focused on his changes.
She out of worry once again scanned his body but did not find any anomaly in him. This was strange as she could see something was bothering him but he did not want to say it, So she did not force it for now.
"So you really have 5 S-Rank around you? Also, who is your fiancé?"
Alia did not come out shocked but Helen did and asked Alex a question but what she wanted to hear more about was his fiancé.
Before he talks about his sister and mother, And now he even talks about his fiancé. If this goes on he has a chance to mention his wife and kids.
So Helen wanted to know if this was the end of it or not.
Also, S-Rank's fiancé for an F-Rank is kinda hard to swallow, Heken knows it is possible with Alex's looks but she still does not want to admit it as it will not make her worry about another S-Rank her rival for now.
"Yes, Including you there are at least 5 S-Rank around me, I am not sure if my noble mother also sends one to protect me or not, So I will not count that."
Alex only answered her first question as he was not crazy to flame the fire of jealousy in these women's hearts.
"Noble!!!"
Helen quickly stood up from the bed and asked in surprise and fear, There is horror written on her face as she heard the name noble.
This name is taboo in their S-Rank group, This is well-known in them like stories of ghosts to children.
The reason why they fear this name is because of the job Nobles do, Just like in every food chain there are prey and predators, In this world hunt and hunter.
Nobel's are natural hunters of S-Ranks, This is a force that puts a leash on S-Rank from acting wantonly, This is the force that protects the fragile world from war and the power of S-Ranks.
Before there was one S-Rank wanted to give a sacrifice for the whole country in the hope of breaking through the shackles of the S-Rank and stepping into the mythical field of SS-Rank.
Though other S-Rank warned that women saying it would earn her too much bad Karma and get the attention of Nobles, Though at that time no buddy took Noble seriously in pride of S-Rank. That woman too did not listen and was ready to sacrifice.
Other S-Rank too did not care about millions of mortal lives, Surely they will not go against S-Rank and fight for those people.
They also wanted to see if it worked or not. If it worked they also wanted to give it a try, So he just waited for that woman to slaughter these people as a sacrifice.
But just the next day after she decided to kill those people, News came that S-Rank had fallen.
A proper peak power S-Rank got killed without making any noise nor there was a fight.
This is an unheard-of thing done by Noble, A unknown origin group that keeps watch on S-Rank, Since that day horror of Noble rooted in every S-Rank heart.
And it only deepened with time as, since its emergence 400 years ago, It has 5 S-Rank's blood on its name.
"Yes, My mother is the current head of Noble, Just don't mention it to others, I am not supposed to say this to others."
Alex said casually while patting Xiao Bai's head ignoring the bomb- no nuke of news he just revealed.
"So, Grace, do you want to go shopping? Aunt still has some time before she wakes up."
Alex came out of the ward with Grace and Koala Xiao Bai who hung onto his body with no intention to let him go even for a second.
Maybe this poor soul was scared too much that she was not taking chances to let him out of her grasp.
Alex to let her be, He was in no hurry to put her in beast storage, He wanted to let her enjoy the outside world for a while, and then he should put her into cultivation.
'They will take at least a few hours before they come back to bother me.'
While fumbling with Xiao Bai's silky white hair, Alex thought of the mother-daughter duo he left behind to digest the fact.
After he said those words, Neither Helen nor Alia were in a condition to speak, and he too did not bother with them.
He just wanted to give them a little check of the reality of his family background, though there was a little lie in it.
He has no idea if his mother had any connections to the Noble organization, He just heard it in the plot and knew they will not come up anytime soon, So he used their name to put pressure on Helen as for her that is the only thing that can work.
After all, S-Rank is known as a walking warhead. There are very few things they pay attention to, and Noble is, fortunately, one of those things.
Now he just had to wait until those emotions and his laid-out work fermented, After that he could openly create a harem.
It is very hard, taxing and risky to open a harem without their permission as those two hold very important value not only for the plot but his conquest too.
"Okay, but are you sure? I think after all that you should take a rest."
Grace too was processing what Alex said but as the saying goes Ignorance is bliss, So because she did not know what horror Noble represents, So she did not get much affected by it.
She though was not like Xiao Bai hanging on his body, She was still holding his hand intertwining her cute soft finger fingers with his.
She was not showing it, but she was also too afraid. She feared that today she would lose him forever, giving her once again a rollercoaster of emotions.
When Alex asked her if she wanted to go shopping, she was excited. She knew men don't like to go shopping like women do, They rather go play games or watch sports or cars.
She never gets it. Why does man waste time doing that useless thing like it was just a waste of time and money?
If you go shopping with your partner, You can deepen your relationship with them and also buying jewellery is a kinda investment not like depreciating assets like cars and games.
But now that Alex asked her out, She is also happy that he is showing interest in her and wants to go with him, but she is also worried that he should be tired from beating and using that strange light to heal that lunatic.
So she hesitantly asked, looking at him with her worry filled hazel eyes.
"Am I that easy to get tired of? Don't you know my stamina Grace? Are you slandering me? If you want, I can prove to you right here and now that I am not a bit of trying, Say do you want me to?"
Alex, of course, is concerned, but he also wanted to tease her to lighten her worry. As said before, she is the only person he can be himself without worrying about the aftermath like others.
So he also cares about her a lot in his strange weird way, though now there is a bro-con like Mara, The value and feelings for Grace have not decreased.
"They- This…We should hurry up to the mall."
Grace hearing his words turned red like a tomato in shame, Now that she thinks about it, Alex does have surprisingly lots of stamina, Which she painfully made aware of, Though not a Bai kind of pain.
Still thinking about it, her brain overloaded with images of their intimate act as her heartbeat increased, Alex was sure that he saw smoke coming out of her head.
She did not dare to answer his quest, So she tightened her grip on him and dragged him towards the exit.
Alex too, laughing, followed her carrying Xiao Bai with him.
….
"Miss acting quite strange today, I am not sure if this change is good or not."
Natasha was sitting in her car waiting for Alia to come back, So they can go to the office.
This never happened before that her miss Alia missed a single day of office but since yesterday, She completely changed as a person, She was smiling and that too without destroying any families.
The cold-hearted Alia in her mind now becomes a shadow of the past, or at least she thought so until she beat someone half to death when they touched her to get her number. She is a clean freak who did not show mercy on that man, and she washed her hands until they turned red.
So Natasha knew the miss she knew was not gone anywhere but just hiding behind this new one, Which was concerning Natasha for her safety.
Before she knew what to say and not to say to her miss, but now she was not sure what would trigger her miss, Her life was on the line here.
That's why she was sitting in the car, sulking and wondering if this change was good or not. She was also cursing the person who broke her miss.
"Yew long time so see, Natasha, Come on, bring us to the city mall."
When she was lost in thought, two or three people entered and sat in the car as if they owned it and even asked her to bring them to the mall.
".....Young master Alex, do you have a death wish? If you do, please don't include me on your suicide mission *Sob* I have yet to have a boyfriend, I don't want to die this soon, not like this."
Natasha knows the owner of this voice, So she did not bother to blame or reject him as she was sure that behind the recent changes in her voice, This man is most likely the culprit.
So she was ready to go where Alex asked her to without asking much, but then she saw something in the rearview mirror that took her soul away.
She saw Alex with his uncanny beauty sitting in the back seat comfortably. It was a breathtaking scene that was not the one that scared her.
The thing that scared her shitless was that this time the boyfriend of her miss has one extremely beautiful woman sitting in his lap, While Grace, the long-time rival of her miss, is sitting sideways with him hugging him.
Seeing that Natasha burst out crying, tears started flowing from her eyes like a broken dam.
All her life flashes past the front of her eyes. She was sure that if her miss saw this not only would she kill Alex and these women's but she as the "designated" driver to be included in the slaughtering
She was just sad that after tip-topping all her life, she will die because of this guy's death wish? It's unfair. She was careful not to provoke Alia, but now she will die as a by -product. She was not willing.
She was 100% sure that Alia will know this. There is no doubt of it as that woman is a monster, Always knew what others hide dearly and here this man doing this in the open, So news of it until now had reached Alia.
Now her death countdown has begun, She was sure she will not be able to see the end of this day.
"???…Oh, don't worry Natasha, I promise Alia will give us a quick death. Until then, let's go and enjoy our last day."
Alex at first could not understand why Natasha cried seeing him, but then he realised that this poor thing was suffering from the PTSD of Alia, So of course seeing him with other girls like this might have given her a heart attack.
But then who is he? How can he just explain to her without having his fun, So he ran his acting skill and said in a giving up voice almost checking to make it look like he is done with life.
'I am dead, So dead, Mummy I am coming to you soon now, Wait for me down there.'
Hearing his words, The fear of Natasha increased and once again confirmed that she is down, for now, All thanks to this bastard's death wish.
So she started to pray, Of course, to the one down there as one above will not accept someone like her.
Alex was enjoying every second of her change in emotions, from initial shock and fear to acceptance. This woman in this mere second goes through all 5 stages of grief, Which in itself is a record.
*Boom*
After enjoying it, Alex wanted to relax with this poor woman, But before he did that, He was someone outside from the windshield.
Just as his eyes laid on that person, His pupils dilated, Hair on his body stood up, His senses became fully alert as unconsciously he released sharp cold killing intent dropping the temperature in the car to a few degrees.
