Chapter 651 - Stand Anew (2/2)
”Knowing this does not make me feel anguish or angry… Just disappointed in myself and proud of my previous life's achievement.” Alex shook his head. ”That's why I want to challenge all of you and challenge me as well, to be ourselves and see the person as it is.”
The spirits closed their eyes and clenched their fists, couldn't say anything to him. On the other hand, Anna was one the verge of tears this whole time, but Alex stopped it with his next word. ”I love you, Anna. That is the truth, and I can say it from the bottom of my heart. I won't regret saying it. Having the shadow of myself, I know that he is someone that I need to confront in the future… That's why I swear to you and myself, I will be myself and make you fall in love to the point I'm the only one in your heart.”
Alex hugged her tightly, and she started crying while saying, ”I'm sorry… I'm sorry…”
He didn't say anything and simply stroked her hair with a gentle smile.
Sherry wanted to come closer and comforted the Elder Sister that had been helping her this whole time but brushed it off after Stina grabbed her hand and shook her head.
Meanwhile, Alex looked at Anya and said, ”I know that this is the worst thing I can do in this type of situation. We are in a war, and an emotional thing should be avoided, but I also feel that this is a must talk problem.”
”Yes. This is a necessary topic that should be discussed immediately. You haven't done any wrong, and to think I have made such a blunder…” Anya let out a long sigh, calming her heart down. ”I'm sorry, Alex… as your Spirit and Wife… I'm truly sorry.”
”Alright. Time to drop this matter.” Alex shook his head. ”I just want to say that I will always be Alexander Sirius, but won't be the same Alexander Sirius. I hope that everyone can support me while thinking of this in your heart.”
”Yes, Young Master!” Leoz and the others roared. They always considered Alex as the Spirit King. There was nothing to that end as they kept using his identity to smooth things out and none of them actually contradicted him as a careful person. They used it precisely for plan and deceit to set up the stage.
It was just the last one truly hurt as it put too much contradiction. Anna actually harmed him and made those wounds resurface without Alex noticing. If she could turn back time, she would definitely think of a better way for this.
The thought stopped after Alex said, ”I am not regretting everything that was done in the past, including this matter. After all, the past made our present, and I believed it was a good thing. I wish no one would forget this matter as we will grow together as one family, Spirit Nest.”
Meanwhile, Lin Xingzhi leaned back on her chair, looked at the white ceiling of her room, and let out a long sigh. ”I hope this won't make their situation awkward… Well, someone should be able to fix it soon.”
Back to Alex, he looked at this heavy atmosphere and said, ”Alright. Let's continue our discussion about this next battle.”
”There is nothing much that needs to be said. Luckily, you have given a concrete and usable plan since the way I am now can't come up with a strategy in this kind of mood.” Anya sighed while looking at Alex. ”We are going according to your plan… Let's have this as the first change to say that we believe in you… As for who is going to pair with who, do you have the pairs in mind? If you don't have one, I should be able to come up even in this mood. It's not a big deal anyway.”
”I have.” Alex nodded. ”I will say it from left to right.”
Alex paused for a moment and made sure the spirits were listening to him. Even Anna wiped her tears and calmed her heart.
”Anna with Artur. Anya with Jean. Nelson with Greg. I will be with Leoz. Sherry and Jeanne. Stina and Kyle. Last but not least, Fabio and Vera.”
Anna's body shook when she heard her name first. The furthest would be the safest in this plan, and Alex put her there must because of this. Yet, she couldn't reject him because she knew her mind had yet to calm down. She didn't wish to risk the plan for her selfish desire. Just like what Alex said, she would put her trust in him more and only be against it if it would really be ridiculous.
This time, Alex already thought the line up carefully. The five around him should be able to protect him to the utmost limit. Greg could put on a barrier while Nelson created confusion with his Shadow Art. Sherry could enter his body and give assistance to Alex, while Jeanne's attack was also nonsensical. Last but not least, Leoz was the strongest out of them and even dared to challenge death.
Anya agreed. ”Alright. We will go with this plan and formation. I'm sure you already know about our enemy number and their power level, so I will ask another thing besides these two. Do you want to make an array?”
”No. The arrays will simply make them hesitant. Their size is only two hundred or so anyway, so I think the normal encirclement will suffice… Even without the True Spirit Body. Though I want Leoz to activate his True Spirit Body since I'm not assured, I will be able to react to Martial Saints moves.” Alex had confidence in his Spirit Eyes that would allow him to follow their movements now he had become a Martial Monarch. However, he still wanted Leoz to be his assurance. It wasn't much, but Leoz should be able to hold one or two attacks with his current strength.
”I understand. Then we should also make sure to spare someone to tell the tale and create confusion on the Heavenly Continent.” Leoz nodded.
”Yeah. Let it be their weakest link to make sure he is too afraid of us because of our power difference.” Alex nodded.
The spirits nodded.
