''I will certainly visit him; he is my father-in-law after all,'' Alex said with a smile.
Sera ignored him and asked.
''What are your plans from now on?''
Instead of answering Sera's question immediately, Alex first raised a question.
''How is the thing I have asked you to say to her? Did she accept?"
''Yeah, she said to do as you wish. You have won the bet after all.'' Sera responded. She couldn't help but sigh when she remembers how easily Elseria accepted giving her away, the person she painstakingly nurtured for years. Well, she must have her reasons for accepting so easily. As she said, it was a bet between the two, and between her and Alex, he won the bets.
''By the way, she said you own her one,'' Sera added when she remembered what Elseria said, she was smiling when she said this.
''Ugh! I see. That's reassuring, then. Previously, you asked what my plans are from now on. I wish to travel the world to gain more experience; experience challenges to grow. The academy can't provide me that.''
''I see; I also think it's a good thing for you to go on an adventure outside. The world is big, filled with a lot of challenges; it will help you grow. You need to get stronger to protect yourself and those dears to you. Don't think that after what happened to Gracier, it's over. I won't ask how you deal them a fatal blow, but cutting off one tail doesn't mean that it is the end; it will grow back stronger to threaten you. Troubles will come sooner than you expected, and to be able to deal with them perfectly, you will need strength and wits. Staying holed here would not help you; it's only by experiencing the world, all sort of hardships will you say that you have grown up.''
Alex also shared the same feeling as Sera.
''Exactly, it is as you said. Let's move to, more important business.'' Alex said as his face turned serious all of a sudden.
''I'm listening.''
''Here is five rainbow coins.''
While saying that, Alex handed over to Sera five rainbows coins, which equals fifty White coins; if the five Rainbow coins were to be converted into Alex's hometown money, it would be equal to $50 million, a massive sum of money.
Sera took the money and waited for Alex to continue.
''Use this to recruit few talents worth training. I don't want too many people. Few people will do; however, their talents must be exceptional. It doesn't matter if they possessed Gift or not. I know I can count on you to recruit good seedlings. Train them to be specialized in assassination, protection, and collection of information. For further found, please see Maria.''
Sera nodded her head. She couldn't help but ask because, from Alex's words, it seemed that the girls wouldn't be following him.
''Maria and the others won't be following you?"
''Yeah! They will continue staying here. I might take Sakuya with me; I'm not sure yet. Maria and Luna need to train under the headmaster; she might be an ice user, but her right-hand man is a famous paladin; I want Luna to train under him. Gracier would train under Artemia.''
Alex explained his plans; it wasn't his decision alone, he had talked about it with the girls, and they agree. It was a temporary separation; soon, they will join and travel the world together. They have to train until he finishes his mission on the demon continent.
''I see. If you have thought that far there is nothing I can say. However, you must be careful; the demon's continent is not easy as you think. Lucifer has perfect control over it. Even though you infiltrate it, you must be careful not to get caught because they are still searching for their missing princess. If not because they didn't wish for war to break, Lucifer would have done everything to get back his sister after learning she is here.'' Sera warned him, and judging from her tone, Alex could say with certainty that she was serious.
''Don't worry. I will be careful.'' Alex said he didn't question Sera about how she knew where he would go; at the same time, Sera didn't ask him what was worth so much for him to want to enter the tiger den.
The two chatted for another forty minutes before leaving. Sera decided to sleep in one of Manor's rooms tonight as it was extremely late.
At the same time, elsewhere in a rundown bar located in one of kingdoms slum, a man with his head covered as if he wished to hide his identity, this man's right man was missing.
This man sat alone around a table sipping wine; there was a violent aura around this man; the man was listening to the gossip around.
''Do you heard it?" A customer said. He was thin as bamboo shoots; his skin was pale white.
''No, tell us Pale skin.'' One of Pale skin asked, the others around the table stopped drinking to listen to Pale skin gossip; he was a master in the art of gossip; he knows everything.
''That otherworlder named Alexander managed to rescue his sister.''
''Oh!!" The group became more interested when they hear it was about one of the otherworlders.
Gulp!
Gulping one mouthful of wine, Pale skin continued.
''It was said that Alexander was so furious that he slaughtered everything in sight when he was rescuing his sister as if this wasn't enough he destroyed the organization behind the kidnapping hideout. He even killed the Holy son with unknown means.''
Crack!
Suddenly, there was a cracking sound, when the other customers turned in the direction of the sound to find a man with a hood covering his face; however, those pair of golden eyes locked into them as if he was the death god, this person crushed the glass in his left hand, he was emitting intense killing intent. Even those veterans adventurers and mercenaries inside the pub gulped and immediately turned their attention away from the dangerous man.
Pale skin almost peed in his pants because that man looked in his direction for a moment before leaving the pub.
Outside, the man moved his left arm, a tree ten meters away was cut into pieces.
''Damn you. I swear I will kill you.''
It was a young man's voice; this voice was full of hatred.
Suddenly, the man's golden eyes narrowed, and he saw.
''Who?"
''Kekeke! Relax, Mr. Hero; I come in peace.''
The man tensed up; he thought he had concealed himself perfectly well to think that someone would identity him so easily.
''What do you want?" Leonardo asked, still hiding his face.
''Kekeke! What if I tell you that I have a way to make you so strong that you can have everything you want!"
The black shadow asked; it was like a devil's whisper.
Leonardo's eyes shined, and without hesitation, he said.
''Tell me more.''
''Kekeke! As expected of the Hero, you know what you want. Please follow me.''
The black shadow laughed before a black light covered Leonardo; the latter did not resist when the black light disappeared. Leonardo was nowhere to be found.
The next day, Camilla, Kevin, and Dodolus would come to this town, not knowing that they had missed Leonardo by hair breath.
