22 "Son Of That Bastard" (1/2)
Alex then sent Rosie off as she traveled back to the Demon Realm. He told her to tell her father that Old Man Rivers would continue the investigation as it proved difficult to track down and find the source of the fruits. He gave her 12 of each fruit in the Harem Ring as proof of their investigation progress.

Now, Only Two Remain.
”To Kill or Not to Kill”
Alex contemplated as he walked closer to Old Man Rivers. He picked up a gla.s.s of water as he poured it on the Old Man's head.
”Wake up Old Man!”
*cough*
*cough*
”What do u want from me?”
”I guess without your powers your at death's door!”
”Anyways, I don't want anything. I got to know everything from the Princess. As u already know, ur going to die sooner or later but I wanted to give u a chance to make it out of here alive.”
*cough*
”What do you...
*cough*
”mean?!”
The Old Man struggled to speak as he started to cough blood from minor organ failure and other issues.
”Let's play a game. Heads or tails!...If it lands on heads u die...if it lands on tails u live.”
Alex took out a gold coin and asked the old man:
”I'll be flipping the coin as u are currently immobile. Are u fine with this?”
The Old Man nodded his head in agreement as Alex smirked.
”Let The Game Begin!”
As Alex finished his sentence he flipped the coin. As if time had slowed down the Old Man stared at the coin and watched each and every spin without a blink. The coin hit the ground as it went into the air again. The coin hit the floor 2 more times as the Old Man's heart raced. The coin stopped bouncing and started to spin a few seconds, then the coin fell flat.
The Old Man turned pale as he couldn't believe his eyes.
”Heads!”
”Bye Bye Old Critter.”
Alex swung his Cursed Dagger as the Old Man's head rolled off his head.
You may ask how he was able to use the cursed dagger. In short, Rosie told Alex that the curse will stay on the dagger as long as Old Man Rivers was alive. So, Alex just needed to kill the old man to release the curse. Simple Right?

Soon after, the system notification went off in his head.

Alex thought of this as a good chance for him to waste time and also get stronger. So why not?
'I have two questions:
How long will I be in this coma?
How much time do I have until your preparations finish?'

'I guess I'll be leaving sooner than I Planned'
Alex walked out the room leaving dead Old Man Rivers on the floor.

On The 5th Floor Waiting Room
”This is Outrageous! We have been waiting for an hour now! How dare that little kid to be so full of himself.”
”Your Highness, there's no reason for you to wait for this punk, we should be on our way.”
The Phoenix Emperor's right-hand man and little brother Emirate was furious about how they're being treated.
”I would advise otherwise.”
Alex came into the room after a servant told him of the situation inside.
”h.e.l.lo, my name is Alex Rager, sorry to keep you waiting. Please accept this gift to show my sincere apologies.”
He had a servant bring in a basket with all five Divine Fruits one of each. The servant placed the basket on the gla.s.s coffee table, then left the room.
”Please this was Alex, take a seat.”
The Phoenix Emperor stood up from the sofa to welcome Alex.

”Thank You for your generosity. I came to apologize on behalf of my two sons and hope we can be forgiven for our rudeness.”
The Emperor bowed his head as he waited for Alex's response.
”Emperor, there's no reason for us to apologize. Please lift your head.”
The Emperor looked to the direction of his brother and gave him the scariest death stare of his life. The Little brother stopped in his way and also bowed down. He knew that his older brother wasn't bowing down on his own will, as Emperor he should bow down to no man even if he says he's G.o.d.
”Please lift your heads. I think you're apologizing to the wrong person.”
”Pardon?!”
Both the Emperor and his brother said in a confused tone.
Alex signals with two figures to Elisa telling her to come inside.
