Either eliminate the core system or allow him to take her life.
To use her Potion System Status, she must fulfill this requirement.
If she did not do that within three days of discovering the core system, the core system would still die.
She could not say anything but let him kill her because she was also being stopped from stating the requirements of her system status.
Although Beatrice is afraid to die, Alex still has her sister and aunt, and her parents are already on the other side, so it is better for her to die than to take his life.
He is the reason she is still alive, so killing him would be like killing herself, so why not just let him kill her?
She would prefer that Alex kill her rather than the system status.
Alex is baffled by her words and has no idea what to do next.
Kill her?
Is anything wrong with her head?
However, given the seriousness on her face, Alex is unable to deny her feelings right now.
Kill me.
This line gave him the impression that there was something more to it, a deeper meaning behind her words.
If Anna were here, she could tell right away what she wanted to say, but now is not the time to think about someone who is not here because it will not help him right now.
Currently, the most logical approach is—
"Ms. Beatrice, what are you saying? Do you have a problem or anything that has been bothering you recently?"
—Asking directly.
It is not the best approach right now, but it is the most logical course of action.
If she has a problem, he is available to assist her immediately.
Beatrice remained silent, unable to say anything.
Kill me right now.
This is what she is thinking, but she also wants to survive.
It is contradictory, but that feeling is true.
"I believe we need to calm down and discuss your problem."
Alex would not kill her because he had no intention of doing so, so he decided to sit with her and let her tell him what she could.
Beatrice has no idea what he wants to do next, but she wants to hold onto the hope that he brought by simply being next to her.
…
Earlier.
As Jake retreat from the restaurant that he currently in, where he is observing Angelina and Beatrice exiting the Hambell's shop, he goes straight to the Mayor's house.
It is not known but Jack has been raised by Mayor Homes ever since he was young.
Jake is the son of his friend who died in an accident after all, so he decided to take him and raised him like his own son.
Mayor Homes also the one who pay his tuition fee when he was studying on Academy City.
Because of their connection, Marie, his daughter got close to him and accidentally fall in love when Jake save her from kidnapping.
Unknown to the two people, the kidnapping incident has something to do with him to make Marie fall in love with him.
Now, Marie will follow what he will say and at this moment, Mayor Homes realized his true self but it's already late.
Her daughter already fell for him and most of the people consider him as a great person that can surpass him as a Mayor.
Adding that he became famous as an investigator, even with some bad rumors, most people don't believe in this and they're still believe in his charm leadership.
He steal his honor, pride, and his daughter.
Unfortunately, he wouldn't let him steal his position as a Mayor on this City.
No matter what plea the people tell to him, he will give this position to someone he will approve rather than to a demon who's in skin of an angel.
He didn't visit the Mayor's office but one of the rooms on the upper floor.
Inside of it, there's other three people.
All of them are wearing mask with a black cloak.
"What are your orders, Leader?"
"It's simple. We're gonna attack tonight."
…
Cooking for dinner, Rica is teaching Anna a new dish.
Going through the ingredients, wash it, chop it, and start lit the fire.
Rica is giving her the instructions while she's following it word by word so that she would only do a few mistakes.
If other people can see this they might taught of them as sisters.
A little sister is teaching her big sister on how to cook.
That is the most specific description of what is happening right now.
They enjoy bonding without Alex's presence.
They appear to be returning to normalcy, but this is only on the surface.
Nonetheless, this is an impressive view.
After the food had been cooked, they decided to taste it.
Although Anna wanted Alex to be the first to eat her food, she did not want to force him to eat something bad.
Fortunately, the taste is acceptable.
She can cook, but she is only familiar with a few dishes.
That is why she decided to ask her what Alex's favorite food is.
When she heard it was adobo, she felt strange because she had no idea what kind of dish it was and that was how Rica taught her to cook.
Depending on how it is cooked, it can be a simple but delicious meal.
Rica was preparing the plate when she suddenly remembered Alex's return time.
She is aware that he might end up with someone else again, but she is not sure if he will stay or head home for dinner.
She realized that this was not a problem and decided to eat with Anna.
They ate enough so that they could eat with him later.
Rica reasoned that if he went home while they were eating, he would be able to join them as well.
However, a plan is a plan, and it is still not being carried out.
Unfortunately, they do not have the time right now because a loud boom shakes the entire house.
