Chapter 25 Its time for Afro Cu (1/2)
”… Miss Alina had told me about you accompanying us…” Lord Gallius replied with a cold voice. ”Even though you joining Miss Alina is legally allowed, there are many that will still frown upon what you did.”
”Well, as long as it is legal, then I see nothing wrong with it.” Alex replied with a shrug of his shoulders.
”Hmph, its shady characters like you that besmirch the image of the World Esper Organization!” Lord Gallius said as his body bristled.
”I know all about your unlicensed awakening! The only reason that you are not arrested right now is because you awakened under the guidance of Sir Jackal.” Lord Gallius said as he stared at Alex with narrowed eyes.
”What's worse was your very 'dubious' background. If it were not for Sir Jackal himself, then you should have been in the jail already for severe case of identity theft!”
”...”
”So, you better behave this time, for I will be watching your actions.” Lord Gallius then spun on his place as he left the house.
Alina, who watched the banter between Alex and Lord Gallius impassively, looked at Alex as she said,
”Let's go now.”
”Ok…” Alex took a deep breath as he followed Alina.
Clint and his wife did not give any farewell to the two, as it was not needed.
Alex looked back at Clint one more time, before giving him another bow.
”Take care.” Clint finally said as he let out a sigh. ”You can go back here in the future. That is, if you still have the ability to do so at that time.”
Alex gave Clint another bow before he left the house.
”Now that farewell sounds ominous.” Alex thought to himself as he run after Alina.
”....”
”I really hope you can come back.” Clint muttered to himself as he went towards his basement.
Booming sounds were then heard from the basement later, rattling everyone nearby.
They stopped in wonder and fear, as they could only imagine the things that could cause these fearsome sounds.

”If there is one thing that a technological world should have, it's is obviously a cool flying ship.” Asteria said as she flapped her hands around.
”And this ship we are in right now is a cool flying ship!”
”You already said those things for the 7th time. Sheesh, get a grip already!” Alex muttered to himself as he looked around him.
Right now, he was in an expensive-looking room filled with countless valuables furniture.
One might think that this is a part of a house, but the truth was that Alex was not inside a house right now.
Alex is currently riding a flying ship that is flying across the sky.
The ship itself had a sleek and aerodynamic design, but what made it better was its high-class accommodations inside.
There are countless rooms filled with velvety beds and its other amenities all seek to provide maximum comfort to its passengers.
With just one look, Alex knew that this whole ship was only meant for the extremely special and powerful people, and that Lord Gallius seems to be one of them.
”Well, what a way for him to show off.” Alex muttered to himself as he fully recognized what Lord Gallius was doing.
He's blatantly flaunting about his richness to Alina in order to impress her.
But that attempt of his has failed as Alex could see Alina ignoring Lord Gallius throughout the whole trip.
Needless to say, Lord Gallius was unhappy about this.
Alex could feel Lord Gallius' piercing glares at his back, as if he was wishing that his eyes could bore a hole on Alex.
Alex of course ignored these glares as he continued on just staring outside.
As for Alina, she did not say anythingas she just sat on her place, not showing any willingness to communicate.
It was only when Alex offered her food that she moved
But once the food was gone, Alina immediately went back on her stationary state.
”So, everything will just be like this until we reach our destination? I do not know if I can endure all this awkwardness…” Alex thought as he let out a sigh.
