Chapter 149 Found Her!
Chapter 149 Found Her!
The instructions were to betray the immortal they were working for and also to act as instigators in an upcoming few events.
These things were a bit tricky to do, but nothing that was out of Jungban's reach.
He agreed with Alex's requests and a contract was signed.
With this, Alex got the power over Jungban and the Seven Cadets of the immortal Imti.
Finished with the things, Alex left the place and went back to Austin to do some remaining work.
The company that he so wanted to set up from the start was useless by now. With that gone, Samuel and Carl were pretty much jobless.
Samuel had left everything for Alex and naturally, Alex was not going to disappoint him.
Both the two needed to work hard to become Blesseds and the first thing Alex did after reaching home was to lead them towards dungeons and have them clear it together.
The dungeon wasn't too powerful and they could easily clear it, in Alex's personal opinion.
With their troubles sorted, Alex went to check up on Natasha.
Natasha was out of her coma and was back to being healthy.
Alex had a brief chat with her over the things regarding their school life and then their group and finally Volkov.
Alex knew pretty much everything there was regarding Volkov, so there was no need for Natasha to say things again.
Volkov's major role was to initiate the Demon's Parade and draw the curtains of chaos in this world.
A literal hell descended down due to his actions, but Alex didn't really blame him.
That guy had lost everything there was and had no will to even live.
His mother was his biggest strength but with her gone, he was really alone.
Natasha was also not there for him during his tough times and it only ended up causing more harm than good to him.
He became the Demons' lackey and walked down the path of ruins, making himself turn into ash and vanish in the end.
This life though, such a tragedy would not repeat itself.
Alex had found clues of him and this time, he was not going to let him start the Demon's Parade.
Demon's Parade was a major event that couldn't be stopped. The Vatican would fall that day and Rome would be in ruins.
This was the first step of the Demon invasion in this world and was definitely unstoppable.
The Demons would arrive everywhere one after another after that incident and soon would try taking over the world.
The Asian part would be saved while the European and the rest of the parts would be taken by the Demons.
After further invasions, the Demons would lose other places and would be stuck with the European continent. This would be their Earth base and would act as a connecting link with their home world.
This connection was the biggest threat to the safety of humanity.
Reinforcements would be called from other worlds and Earth would meet with its inevitable demise.
The other races present here wouldn't be saved either and whatever remaining bad things were present that could happen… would happen again.
Events couldn't be changed, but Alex could for sure change the journey leading towards those events.
He talked with Natasha for a while and left her alone after giving some instructions.
When Natasha would be ready to bounce back and spring into action, there would already be a lot many things she would need to do.
Her role was important and after this meeting, he would be meeting her directly when the whole squad was together.
Finishing up with Natasha, Alex went to go see Lucielle.
Though he had been together with her in the second regression, things in this regression were still developing.
Alex had to make it clear as to what he needed and what their relationship together was.
Lucielle had considered Alex as her lover already, but it was time for him to take her as his wife.
That woman was cute and Alex genuinely loved her.
It was 2 pm right now and during this hour of the day, Lucielle would usually be in her office in the Liberty Commerce Bank building.
Speaking of the Liberty Commerce Bank, this bank had eventually turned into a guild later on. It was still a bank, but in the form of a guild when everything was destroyed.
This guild would act exactly like a bank and was there for the Blesseds. They would make lots of trades with this institution and profit off.
Though, it was a pity that later on everything would be wiped out and only the Demons would remain on Earth.
Whatever be the case, Lucielle would always be away from harm and Alex had sworn to protect her.
He would give up his own life if needed, but he would definitely always look after her.
This little woman had done a lot for him and even in her dying moments, which Alex really didn't want to recall, she had only cared for his well being instead of her own.
Thinking of all this made Alex's heart heavy, but he remained calm and went to see Lucielle.
Alex was given an entry without any problems in the LCB building. He was almost their boss now and held great power.
Lucielle had also ensured to train everyone properly so that no one bothered Alex.
As he walked inside the building and hopped in the elevator, reaching the top floor, he suddenly bumped into a lady.
"Nngh!" The lady exclaimed while rubbing her head.
Looking at her, Alex didn't think much, but as the lady looked back at him, Alex's eyes suddenly widened in shock as he realized something.
There was a cold expression on the lady's face and looking at Alex stare at her as if he had seen a ghost, she knitted her brows and said, "Don't block my path."
This cold beauty, this lady on whom Alex had bumped into, it was none other than Marcelle, the only daughter of Lucielle.
This thing should've been something normal for Alex, but it wasn't.
Throughout the second regression turn, Marcelle was nowhere to be found.
No, not just Marcelle, none of his wives were found anywhere in the whole damn universe there!
If his wives weren't there and if Marcelle too wasn't there, then this meant…
With knitted brows, Alex held Marcelle's wrist and pulled her into the elevator.
As the elevator door closed up, a shocked expression took over Marcelle, but then was followed by an angry expression.
"What are you trying to do?"
Alex didn't hesitate and held Marcelle's hand. He looked right into her eyes after doing so and said in a firm tone, "You're my wife."
"What!?" Marcelle was shocked.
Alex clasped her hand tightly and repeated with all due seriousness, "You. Are. My. Wife."
"…" Marcelle didn't speak further on this and stared at Alex.
If this was someone else, they would've slapped the shit out of Alex, but something was off between the two's interaction and Marcelle didn't do so.
Alex was very much confident this time and knew he hadn't gotten his own wife wrong.
The ladies had mentioned repeatedly of there being a missing wife. Plus, except for his wives, the only other person missing in the second regression turn was Marcelle.
Alex was greatly confused about this thing as Lucielle's love life was just about normal.
He couldn't understand how Lucielle didn't have a baby despite being married and he also failed to understand the disappearance of Marcelle.
But today though, he had finally uncovered the mystery.
Finally, it wasn't something that had remained unquestioned.
Marcelle really was his wife and it was exactly due to this that he wasn't able to see her as Lucielle's daughter in the second regression turn.
With Marcelle in tow, Alex had successfully managed to find all his wives and there were no more mysteries regarding them remaining.
Marcelle, who was silent all along, heard the elevator's ding as they reached the bottom most floor.
She snapped out of her daze and looking at Alex, couldn't help but sigh and shake her head.
"This was so anticlimactic, dear."
"Haha!" Alex began laughing as he heard that.
He was right! He was goddamn right! This was indeed his wife!
Alex pushed the button for the top floor again and without letting anyone in, got the elevator to start moving.
He took a step ahead and wrapped his arms around Marcelle's waist.
"I finally found you, honey."
