Primordial Soul's Rebirth

(Back to the fight)

Alice smiled as she remembered how Alex would still tease Ann by calling her crybaby even now, but Ann was too focused on her attack to notice anything else.

'If I get tired from the attack, then Alex is going to look after me...'

Ann was making other plans right now as she knew that although her attack was quite powerful, and was a sure kill skill, it drained her out of her mana, making her weak both physically and mentally.

This was also the reason why she didn't use this skill at the gate till now as it would make her a piece of baggage if she used this skill early.

Ann had decided to make this skill her trump card for boss fights or emergencies, though she knew that the latter condition was not going to happen with Alex by their side, it never hurts to be prepared, after all.

'Phew….' Ann focused and she found herself standing in the same dark place but this time she wasn't scared.

She closed her eyes and opened them again.

Now she was back in reality with her blade or dagger charged with soul power, she slashed the dagger toward the beasts that were running away.

*Swish**Swish**Swish*…...

The sound of a dagger being waved was heard.

The beasts that were running away from Ann suddenly stopped dead in their tracks.

There was no change until the beasts fell to the ground with a thump.

The general public or the crowd that was running away and causing chaos also noticed that the beasts were killed so they cheered for Alex, Alice, and Ann by their names.

By now, people had already identified who Alex, Alice, and Ann were as Alex had removed the disguise before they went to take care of the beasts.

It would help them in elevating their image, after all, they were helping the public even in their off time.

Alice then rushed toward Ann as she saw Ann staggering, but someone was faster than her.

Alex who had seen Ann using her skill was already running toward her and he reached there before Alice, after all, Alice had slowed down when she found Alex running toward Ann.

Little did she know that all of this was what her dear friend had wanted.

Alex who saw Ann using her skill didn't waste time and quickly ran toward her without even wearing the shirt he was about to take out of his storage.

"Ah…." Lily who was still being hugged by Max who was a sobbing mess saw Alex dashing away, she tried to reach her hand out, but her hands were too short for that.

In the end, she just hugged her dad, as she didn't want to see her dad crying.

Grace and Lily then focused on Max who was blaming himself for whatever happened.

.....................…

"Hey, be careful there, you didn't need to use that skill right now, you know…."

Alex spoke with a sigh as he held staggering Ann in his arms.

Ann didn't say anything just nodded her head as she placed her head on Alex's chest while holding his waist.

'Hehe, easy….' Ann was jumping inwardly as she got what she wanted.

'Oh….' Alex who saw Ann's actions finally connected the dots.

'Well, not like I hate it….'

Alex didn't like being played with, but it was fine if it was something like this.

Alice who was jogging towards Ann and Alex saw Ann smirking to herself.

"Huh??"

'No way....' Alice finally realized why Ann was using that skill when there was no actual need for it.

'Genius….' However, Alice didn't curse or blame Ann for using this chance.

She just praised Ann for her genius while looking at her with envy.

Alice wanted to be there as well, she wanted to feel how it felt as well, after all, even though she had seen Alex bare-chested before, she had never hugged him like that.

'Hmph, I'll let you off this time….' Alice snorted as Ann's eyes happened to meet hers.

'Hehehe….' Ann just smiled at Alice while tightening her hold around Alex.

"Well, since you are this tiered, I'll have to carry you to the hotel," just then Alex spoke with a fake sigh.

Ann's eyes brightened as she heard that, and she let Alex lift her into a princess carry without an ounce of resistance.

Alice just looked at all this with envy in her eyes, but she sighed in the end.

'I'll not lose next time,' She made up her mind that she wasn't going to let Ann have her way.

.....................…

(Present)

Max, Grace, and Lily were sitting in a café which is one of the most famous cafés in the Violet Country.

But today, unlike always, it was devoid of anyone.

It was not because no one came there, people from other countries come to Violet Country every day just to visit this café, so it was not possible for it to be empty unless it was a special case.

Today it was one of those special moments as the richest man of the Violet Country had booked the entire café to have a meeting with some distinguished guests.

The whole café was surrounded by A-ranked raiders along with some S-rank in the mix.

Max didn't hold back as he used his power openly, without the fear of exposing his real strength to the public.

"We wouldn't have to wait till now if just I were in better shape at that time….." Grace sighed as she remembered how Alex, Alice, and Ann moved away from the scene when they were busy looking after her.

"Stop blaming yourself for something that you didn't even do."

Max spoke sternly as he heard Grace mention the same thing for who knows how many times.

"But-" Grace tried to protest but, Max cut her off.

"No buts, I saw Alex Matthew picking up Ann White, surely it was not without reason, maybe they had their problems as well."

Max concluded but Grace giggled as she heard his reasoning.

"What's funny?" Max looked at Grace as he frowned in confusion.

"Nothing, dear. But you need to read some romance novels," Grace spoke between her giggles.

'A girl would do anything to be picked up by that guy, and yet you think there was a reason....' She sighed inwardly.

'What do you mean-" Max was about to ask what Grace meant, but….

*Vrooom*

The sound of a car's exhaust was heard and the next second, Max's phone rang.

"Is it them?" Max asked directly as he picked up the phone.

"Yes, sir," The reply from the other side was instantaneous.

"Show them the way with the utmost respect," Max ordered and then hung up the phone.

"They are here," Max then informed both Grace and Lily about their guests' arrival, but he failed to notice that Lily was strangely quiet today.

Both Max and Grace believed that Lily was just too excited to meet the big brother she talked about every day that she didn't know what to say.

What was the real reason?

Only Lily can answer that.
