Modern Cultivation : The Strongest Couple Bonded by Vampire System

The driver then remembered that Alex had started acting weird like this after he returned from the research facility.

He felt worried that something was wrong with Alex's head and decided he would tell the madam.

Alex was oblivious to the driver's gaze; he was too excited, presenting his idea to MingYue.

The driver didn't even consider Alex having a brain implant since the technology hadn't reached the public.

Hearing his idea, MingYue wasn't that excited.

The idea of bolstering their force with beasts was appealing, but MingYue herself preferred to fight with her own hands. In her mind, letting someone else take care of her problems would just make her undisciplined.

If that became a habit, it would negatively affect her cultivation.

"I think FengXue or the gramps should have that method."

[FengXue has it, Queen. I already got the information from our 'get-to-know' session.]

"That's good, Vesa. Send it to Alex then."

She then addressed Alex, "Add more weapons and mana crystals in the next batch. Don't forget the machinery for construction, too."

Alex was responsible for making the blueprint for building the sect. MingYue didn't understand most of it, but she looked forward to the facilities Alex had explained.

She then chose some of the commoners and gave them books, blueprints, and other explanations Alex had provided, letting them learn it by themselves.

Now, she was curious about the result.

MingYue looked forward to having the so-called jet shower, and jacuzzi Alex had told her about.

Little did she know, this wouldn't work without Alex succeeding with the qi generator.

"Well, I hope they won't mess it up. Why don't you use the mannequin from before to help with construction?" Alex asked.

"Not worth it. I only have a few left now, one of which was destroyed when I made it self-destruct against LingHua."

Alex already knew about this, so he didn't ask further.

He had wanted to ask for one to tinker with; the concept was intriguing to him since it worked like a robot, and he had heard Vesa could even program complex movements with it.

But MingYue told him it was hard to get one, so Alex prioritized other things that were more important.

"I will try to look for some construction robots that can be run by mana then. I remember reading the news there are a few prototypes of those."

They continued their talk with the direction to grow the sect.

Alex gave many suggestions for a modern hierarchy, which MingYue took note of.

She just needed to modify it to make it more suitable for people in her world.

Their discussion was interrupted when suddenly Alex felt someone's presence near him.

Turning his gaze, he realized the driver wanted to get his attention since the car had already reached its destination.

"Sorry, Young Master, but we have already arrived for a while."

He then paused for a moment, then asked, "Are you alright, Young Master? Should we just return home?"

Alex then ended his contact with MingYue, telling her they would talk again later.

He then replied to the driver, "I am alright, just wait for me here." He then left the car without further explanation.

The driver, seeing Alex entering the building, took out his phone and started dialing to call his mom.

Inside the building, in a fine dining restaurant, Alex gave his name to the waitress.

Since the room was already booked, she quickly guided him toward the VIP room.

Inside, Alex saw Emily in casual clothing, a T-shirt and jeans, already waiting for him.

Opposite her sat a man with a robust figure. He had tidy hair and a beard, with a wound scar over his eyes.

His black eyes turned sharp like a hawk when Alex entered the room.

"You are late, brother," Emily complained.

Alex smiled, "Sorry, I just got off a call. I already reached here a few minutes ago," he then turned his gaze toward the man.

Emily quickly introduced him, her voice tinged with respect, "He is a three-star hunter and also my mentor. His name is Garric. I learned a lot from him when I first became a hunter."

"So, you are Emily's brother." He then looked him up and down and nodded with satisfaction.

"Your sister calls you good for nothing. That stays home all day. But it seems you have many secrets. As expected from the son of the Crimson Sage."

Hearing the words "good for nothing," Alex's gaze sternly turned to Emily, but she looked away, playing dumb.

Knowing he couldn't do anything about it, Alex's lips twitched.

He then looked at Garric and put his hand forward. "Nice to meet you. I am Alex. It seems you know my father."

Garric shook his hand. "Every decent hunter knows about him.

What your dad chose deserves respect. Many hunters just escape their responsibility in his situation."

Alex took his seat beside Emily, deep in his heart, replying to Garric, "And we, his family, are now the ones paying for it."

But he kept an amiable smile outside. He was here to make an agreement with the hunter association, not to debate personal values.

"Let's get straight to the point then. You should have heard my sister Emily wants to reopen the Suzaku guild.

And I have a new power system to make a deal with the Association."

Garric nodded, then gestured for him to continue.

Alex took out the storage cube, and from it, he took out a laptop onto the table.

It wasn't the first time Garric had seen an ability that interfered with space, so he understood the cube functioned like some kind of storage item, but he had never seen one as small as that.

"What is that item?" Garric asked.

Alex did this on purpose; he wanted to show the company's product so Garric would be interested.

"It's one of the prototypes of my company's products. In fact, I want to ask the Association for help with the permit to sell it."
