Two days passed in a flash. Finally, it was time for Alex to head out, he had never expected his punishment to extend to two days, and because he was guilty, he obediently suffered his punishment; if this could alleviate some of her anger, it was a low price to pay, besides these two days haven't been used idling, he used them to think about to combine his skills, the result was not a success. Still, he slowly began formulating possible solutions that might help him in his future fights.
Just as he came out from the underground arena, Alex immediately noticed a silhouette dashing toward him; even without checking, he knew who this person was; opening his arm wide, Alex welcomed his sister, whom he had missed dearly.
''Ah! I miss you too much, Alexandra!'' Alex declared while hugging his sister against his chest, her tiny body seemed so fragile that it could break with a bit of strength, yet she was one of the things he cherished, he would always cherish in his life; not only she brings joy just with her presence in his life, seeing her renewed his determination never to falter, some say that when you have something you hold dear your strength would be doubled. You will feel the world is becoming better, a better place, brighter and worth living; Alex could not be happier to agree with this statement.
Gracier didn't immediately respond as she was fighting against her tears; being sent into a foreign world, she was bound to be scared even though she had put forth a strong front, all of this was not to show her weak side, if she was on Earth, only in extreme environments would have she suffered, she usually would have been a pampered young lady enjoying her life. Still, the reality here wasn't so kind, and this is no Earth; she ought to be strong, mature beyond her age, so she became mature.
''There, there I'm here right now, cry to your heart content. I'm sorry it must have been hard on you. Don't worry; big brother is here now; you can let it go and temporally relax.'' Alex said to his sister; his words were relaxing; they worked like the best lullaby.
Gently Gracier, who had finally calmed down, nodded her head.
''Unh! I'm happy to have you seen you two; I missed you too much; however, it would be unfair to keep you only for myself.'' Gracier said with a playful smile; she was hinting at her brother to look behind; many people couldn't wait to hug him.
Even though she still hasn't enough of her brother's love, she hadn't gotten enough Alexnium; she still knows best when to quit.
Alex grinned and lowered his head to put a light kiss on his sister's forehead.
''Alexandra is the best; I love you the most.'' Alex declared his undying love for his sister, who leaned backward and winked at the others.
Maria and the others looked at each other; they could read each other thoughts, at the moment, they only had one thought which was that little Gracier must be not be underestimated as she appeared to be the most dangerous of all; however, now wasn't the time to take care of the little devil as she was called.
Alex turned to face the girls; he saw Maria, Luna, Sakuya, Sera, Alice, Kuina, and an unexpected guest.
''You!"
Before Luna could enjoy a hug with her man, Eri walked forward and pointed her trembling finger at Alex. Finally, she was able to meet the famous Alex, whom everyone seemed to hold in high esteem; however, it never occurred to her that this famous would be none other than her classmate, Alexander, although he was rarely in class, he was known by everyone because he was the youngest billionaire in the state, not only in their state but in many other states as well; therefore it ended as a shock to Eri that the famous young billionaire would be even famous here, she had heard how awesome he is, what he had done, how strong he is, she heard so much that she had somehow become fed up of them.
There was another thing she had noticed during these two days which was that all the women present seemed to hold some feeling toward Alex, they didn't hide it, so naturally, the normally dense Eri was able to notice this; therefore, she formed a bad image of this Alex, she labeled him as womanizer whom she wanted to have nothing to do with.
Back to the current situation.
Luna, who usually stayed gentle most of the time, became angry for the first time; not only did this girl interrupt her sweet time, her sweet reunion with her fiance, she even dared to point her finger at Alex, how disrespectful.
''Shut up! Never point your finger at anyone, not him; he is my man, our man. Don't interrupt my sweet reunion with him anymore, or I won't be polite anymore. Got it, little ERI?"
''Hic!"
Eric hiccuped and immediately stepped back; she was too afraid of the current Luna; her gentle side had disappeared like a cloud of smoke and was replaced by her fierce side, which sent a chill down one spine.
''Stop it, Lû. Don't you see that you are scaring her? From outsiders' point of view, won't this be seen as us bullying a fla- I meant helpless rabbit?" Alex intervened. His intervention would have been perfect if he hadn't said the word flat; even though he changed it midway, everyone present heard it, and they knew what he was trying to say.
While most of them were trying hard not to laugh, some didn't care; no, they deliberately laughed.
Maria and Kuina laughed hard, Sakuya joined them.
''Hahaha, Alex, you're too funny.''
''Indeed! Flat chested Bunny, he says," Maria added, adding to Eri's fury.
'Shit! I have never said that, though.' Alex's shoulders slumped like he was wrongly accused.
''You, you, good!" Eri shouted before vanishing.
Sera facepalmed, and Alex shook his head, looking at the girls laughing. Just as he was about to say something, something appeared and whispered something into Sera's ears; the latter widened for a moment before she smiled and looked at Alex and declared.
''Let's go; we have some guests to welcome.''
Alex and the girls exchanged glances before following Sera to the meeting room; Alex was curious about the guests.
