In actual fact, there hadn’t been any acts of betrayal in that factory yet.
After all, the enemy would only appear five years later. No one knew about the existence of the so-called ancient civilization, so it was too early to talk about betrayal.
That factory might still be engaged in normal industrial activities. They might still be amiable in their daily lives until they were forced by the disaster to point their guns at their compatriots.
This included Alvin, who was burned alive.
That was why Arulelia had used arson to make the people in the factory feel the same treatment in advance.
Alvin was unable to assess whether Aurelia’s actions were right or wrong.
If it were him, he might have gone even further.
That was why Alvin did not say anything else but just, “Watch out for your safety.”
But in fact, Alvin knew better than anyone else that the current Aurelia didn’t need to watch out for her safety. Before the ancient civilization awoke, Aurelia had no opponent in the world for the time being.
But Alvin still blurted out warnings about safety. This was the only thing he could do in this villa at the moment.
“Yes, you too,” Aurelia replied gently, but her tone suddenly changed to a tough one. “You better control yourself! Don’t have any bad intentions towards Camilla! Do you understand?!”
“Don’t you know my character…”
Alvin replied seriously.
“Hmph, we’ll talk about this later. I’ll hang up first.”
A busy tone came from the other end of the phone. Aurelia hung up.
At this moment, Alvin saw the system notification.
[Aurelia’s favorability+20, current 100 (till death do us part)]
[Obtained strength attribute 200 points ]
[Current attribute loading… ]
[Strength: 540(↑200)]
[Speed: 6.25]
[Reaction time: 0.4]
[Cold weapon proficiency: 3010]
…
Alvin looked at his attribute list quietly, feeling both happy and worried.
He was happy that he did not do anything but just talked to Aurelia on the phone for a few minutes. And then he gained another 200 strength attribute points.
What worried him was that it was just as he had thought. To get the reward, he had to first make Aurelia angry and suppress her favorability. Then, he would have to think of a way to get it back.
This coming back and forth was like licking blood from a knife’s edge.
No one knew if the car would capsize one day, for he angered Aurelia so much that she slapped him to death.
“Sigh, it’s really too difficult for a good man like me who pampers his wife.”
Alvin sighed and covered himself with the blanket that Camilla had given him.
It was actually quite warm.
…
Aurelia hung up the phone.
As the light on the phone screen disappeared, the entire street returned to darkness once again.
