357 Situation (1/2)

Charya did not ask anything about what Alex did earlier since Alex did not want to tell her. It was Alex's first step before becoming a Sword King. But before they came back, she remembered something.

”I almost forgot about this, you know the Rainbow Flower Sect will come and you left the sect because of that, right?” Charya asked.

Alex was surprised that Charya asked that. ”Yes.”

”Hahaha… you know when they came to the sect and tried to convince the sect master to marry you to that lass, right?”

Alex paused a bit before nodding his head.

”When did you two meet? Fufu, I don't care about whatever technique you used earlier since this issue is more interesting.”

”A long time ago,” Alex said. He remembered the first time he met her was in Zwaka's place. At first, he had a thought in killing her, but because she seemed genuinely sorry about it, he thought it would be fine if she had an oath.

He thought she would keep that oath like Putri, but she told around like the seventh elder. At that time, Alex decided not to give a chance anymore whether they made a Heavenly Oath or not.

The sect master and the others made a Heavenly Oath, which made Maxwell spared them. But Maxwell knew they would follow it strictly because his existence instilled a deep fear inside them.

However, it was different for him. Alex's potential was surely enormous and could instill a deep fear. But his strength had yet to make them scared. That was the reason why Letizia decided to tell her sect about that. It was also Alex's miscalculation.

So, finally, after the two times, he decided not to give a chance to anyone for the third time. This was the reason why Alex said he would not give anyone a chance, whether they were a person or a beauty.

Maybe, only Song Yu, Charya, and Putri will never search a way to bypass the Oath.

”Hehe… I am really curious about it. How about some words from you?” Charya asked him in a playful tone.

”I am seeking a relationship. A relationship is based on love while Partnership is based on benefit. Of course, there is also another saying for that. It says, 'not every couple destined to be married.” Alex added that quote because he did not want her to think he was a beast that will have a relationship as long as they were together or whatever.

”Hoho… So, you are saying she is searching for a benefit… Hmm, did she know about all of your talent?”

Alex pondered a bit. ”My Alchemist identity and Spear are already known by others. The other thing she knows is my Array Master identity.”

He only said about 'Array Master,' not Pure Fire. After all, Charya had yet to know about his Pure Fire.

”I see. So that is the reason why you said about Partnership. Well, considering your talent, it is a bit normal to make that kind of approach. Maybe, if you are in the other sects, Heavenly Sword Sect might do the same or even kill you.

”With your Sword and Spear technique as well as your Alchemist rank in the open, the other sects started investigating your origin. They did not dare to act since our sect master said he would make a war to those who wanted to kill you.

”Of course, it does not mean they give up. The example is the Rainbow Flower Sect. This marriage and alliance thing is their approach to having you. The Buddha Sect does not have a sound yet. But we don't know whether because you are not compatible with their technique or they have another plan.

”Buddha Sect might want to wait after the tournament first before they make a move since they thought you wouldn't pose trouble for them in the grand tournament. My speculation is they decided to give up on the Martial Grandmaster competition to you and are planning to win the Lord Stage competition.

”But I wonder what kind of face they would make when they see you in the Lord Stage competition. Although I have faith in you because of your progress speed until now, we won't know whether you can get the participation token in the upcoming event.

”After all, no one knows who is stronger until one of their heads is flying. Anyway, back to the topic. Different from the other sects, Mount Hua Sect is the most problematic as they might make a move before the tournament.”

Alex frowned. He only had a spy in Rainbow Flower Sect (Njomo), Southern Kingdom (Ngina), Zhou Kingdom (Nelson), and Thiveapia Kingdom (Nicole). So, his information was quite limited.

Rainbow Flower Sect already gave their intention. The Southern Kingdom had remained silent for this entire time, and he thought they would not give information about his wealth to the other prominent families in the kingdom. So, after exterminating the royal family, he would leave the kingdom alone.

It was different for the Zhou Kingdom. Their soldiers used blood pills, and many things would happen if he left them alone. So, Alex was planning to kill every single person who used the blood pill. He decided to do this in the Tournament because he needed to get stronger first before doing this.

If he were stronger, he would instill fear inside them, and they would not retaliate. Of course, Alex decided to get rid of every single soldier as well as prominent families along with their royal family. Basically, this kingdom would be done for.

As for Thiveapia Kingdom… The crown prince was the one who did this. And those people in the Southern Kingdom would not know who did it since he already killed every person on 'that' battlefield. As long as they did not do something excessive to him, he would not do something excessive to them too.

He did not know the status of the Hazel Kingdom. He already expected they might have investigated him but still remained neutral like Buddha Sect.

”Ah, I am deviating a bit. Anyway, do you know how she reacted when she found out you were avoiding her? It was so hilarious. She was looking down like she knew the reason herself. What did she do to you?”

”Nothing. Just be humble to a stranger, overbearing and calculating to your enemy, and caring to your friend.” Alex said in a roundabout way.

Charya understood what he meant. It seemed the people around her were rude to him. ”Hahaha… they left this place after three days in disappointment. But, you can just ignore the others. I mean, she is stunning, you know. She is the top flower in this continent.” Charya said in a teasing tone.

Alex shook his head. ”My reason is the same. I don't love someone just because they are beautiful. It is just lust, not love. I won't have an otherworldly beauty as my wife and has her backstabbed me at the time I never expected.”

Another reason was that she reminded him of Sandra. Sandra only took advantage of him for a while before going out with John. He was so devastated at that time. And Letizia also wanted to 'marry' him because of his talent so her sect could receive 'benefit.'

Alex immediately blacklisted her.

”Alright… Haiz, I just want to tease you, but now I feel I don't have a chance.” Charya pouted.

Alex only shook his head helplessly.
