James and the others gulped the moment they were free of Alex's aura. They all had a similar line of thought as they gazed at Alex with varying emotions.
'Monster!'
Of course, the said monster saw their expressions and chose to turn a blind eye to their expressions, maintaining his calm and delighted smile.
What was even more surprising was the fact that his aura disappeared completely, almost as if he had none and was a mere mortal.
Alex could pass for a mortal and no one would doubt it. His aura was that hidden.
"Alex… Is this really...?" James broke the silence and asked. None of the others, even Julia's father could muster the courage to say anything as they were still reeling in shock from what they experienced.
"In the flesh," Alex replied warmly. "But what brings you guys here?" Though he had a guess, he decided to give them the floor to speak.
