Death Guns In Another World

Chapter 191 - 183: A Nasty feeling

After roaring, eyes full of madness, Damien calmed down. Sitting on the ground he started pondering.

ʼʼWhat happened?ʼʼ

ʼʼAlexʼs master must be protecting him, itʼs why this happened. It was an unwise move I shouldnʼt have ordered grampa Stone and others to do that. Sigh! There is no need to cry over spilled milk. What I need to do now itʼs to deal with Alex.ʼʼ

Damien said, his eyes were vicious. None of the men he sent to monitor returned alive, well, Stone returned but he just said few words before passing away. He must make Alex pay.

For a moment he considered summoning Slade over, but decided not to, at least for the moment.

ʼʼI should be able to take care of Alex myself,ʼʼ

he mumbled before ordering his men to incinerate Stoneʼs body and kept the inside an urn to bring it back to the empire.

Today lost must be repaid.

•••••

On Alexʼs side. Unaware of the tragedy suffered by Damienʼs men and his hatred toward him. And even if he knew, he couldnʼt care less, Alex was holding a party with his sister, Silveria, and his employees.

It was Gracierʼs suggestion, she was adamant about it, Alex could only relent. When Alex recounted what happened, Gracier and Silveria congratulate him with Gracier suggested that they should celebrate it.

After the party, Alex directly went to sleep.

•••••

The next day after, class started as usual and after class ended, Chris leave these words before leaving,

ʼʼTrain well. Mock battles are about to start.ʼʼ

The studentʼs eyes shined as they were eager to prove themselves. Leonardo glanced at Alex and smirked, he couldnʼt wait to teach Alex a lesson in the incoming Mock battle.

Suddenly, Alex who was silent for a while stood up, his figure blurred startling his friends and when he reappeared, he was already in front of Damien.

Without giving him the time to speak, he punched him in the face. It was a fast and powerful strike, he used seventy percent of his strength. Damien was blasted back, his nose was broken, blood was dripping out of it.

Silence descended upon the whole classroom, every single individual present inside the classroom was astonished by what just happened. They couldnʼt understand why Alex went and punched Damien.

Leonardoʼs eyes turned serious, even with his speed, he almost couldnʼt follow Alexʼs movement.

ʼHehehe, youʼre not half bad, however, do not get full of yourself. Iʼm faster.ʼ he thought while grinning.

Coldly looking at Damien who was surprised as the other because he didnʼt expect Alex to punch him in public, Alex said, his voice was freezingly low, it sent chills down to peopleʼs spine.

ʼʼNext time you tried something like yesterday Iʼll kill the moment I see you. Sheʼs not yours and sheʼll never be.ʼʼ

Alex spun around and approached Luna and others, taking Lunaʼs hand in his own as lovers do, he said, ʼʼLetʼs go.ʼʼ

Even though most did not understand whatʼs going on, from Alexʼs words, it has something to do with Luna.

Talking about Luna, they noticed that the relationship between the two had changed, they look like pair of lovers. Most wondered what happened yesterday for such a chance to happen today.

Damien ground his teeth when he saw how Luna behave, she was smiling looking at Alex with affection. His broken nose had stopped bleeding and was already healing, it was because of his Gift. Heʼs Light element user, also known as Holy Magic.

Outside of the classroom, Chris, their teacher was leaning against the classroomʼs wall.

When he saw Alex out, he stopped him and asked, ʼʼWhy did you hit him?”

Alex smiled, even though he was smiling his eyes were cold, ʼʼFriendly reminder.ʼʼ

ʼʼI see. Do not overdo it.ʼʼ Chris said and left.

Alex did not say anything and continued while holding Lunaʼs hand.

En route, Maria suddenly said, ʼʼSomehow, you seem different.ʼʼ

Without stopping Alex asked, ʼʼHow so?”

ʼʼYou look domineering,ʼʼ she said.

Gracier, Luna, Leon, Sakuya, Ferris, Eris, and Kuina nodded their heads, they were also thinking the same thing.

〖Maybe itʼs because you have regained your lost memories?〗Silveria said.

Alex only chuckled, indeed after regaining his lost memories along with his feelings for Luna, something had changed. However, he didnʼt know what it was.

While they were eating at the cafeteria, Leon teased Alex.

ʼʼAlex, you owe me a good fight.ʼʼ

ʼʼIndeed, I do. Donʼt worry, I will not go back on my promise. A loss is a loss. Iʼm looking forward to our fight.ʼʼ Alex said with a grin, it was the same grin he wears when fighting against a strong opponent.

ʼʼHahaha, same here my friend, my blood is boiling.ʼʼ Leon laughed.

The girls except for Sakuya couldnʼt help but shake their heads. Sakuyaʼs eyes were shining, her eyes were like that of a predator that could not wait to trample her enemy under her feet. When he locked eyes with her, Alex felt a chill down his spine, he couldnʼt help but shudder.

ʼThis Japanese girl must not be underestimated.ʼ he thought.

Sakuya smiled sweetly.

ʼʼWhy did you hit Damien?” Luna asked because to her that know Alex more than others, she knew Alex wouldnʼt be so angry if Damien hadnʼt done something unforgivable.

ʼʼHe sends someone after me.ʼʼ It was all Alex said, however, smart as they are, the others understood what Alexʼs words meant.

Their complexion sank, they found Damienʼs action despicable, especially the women.

ʼʼI see, no wonder you reacted like that. Do not let your guard down. This type of man never learns.ʼʼ Kuina warned.

ʼʼDonʼt worry, I will,ʼʼ Alex promised.

After eating, Alex decided to go back as he was not going to attend the Magic class. He exchanged few words with Luna before leaving.

However, he had not taken his tenth step when Leon stopped him and hand over something to him, it was black armor, it was Loki.

ʼʼTake it, from now on it yours. Do not refuse because it will be like youʼre looking down on me. Whether you have won or not, I was planning to give it to you anyway. So-”

Alex stopped Leon with a grin, ʼʼThank you, do not worry, Iʼm not planning to refuse such a wonderful gift. The moment I see this armor I have desired it, so naturally, Iʼll not refuse it. Thank you, my friend, I owe you one.ʼʼ He said before taking Loki from Leonʼs hands, he then stored it inside his item box.

ʼʼGood, see you tomorrow,ʼʼ Leon said and tapped Alexʼs shoulder twice before leaving.

Alex smiled, warmth filled his heart when watching Leonʼs back. Leon gave Alex, Loki, because of concern. When he heard Damien sent assassins after him, he judged the latter may do it again, therefore gifting Alex, Loki, was a wise move, with Loki. Alexʼs safety was almost assured.

This may be a calculated move from Leonʼs side however, it doesnʼt matter as he had said, he owed him one. Judging from Leonʼs character, it was unlikely that he did what he did with something in mind, he was too straightforward to be the plotting type. Still, you canʼt know a person entirely, better be a little bit prudent and not trust blindly.

〖Donʼt worry, Iʼve more worldly experiences than you, Iʼve lived longer than you, so, I can say Leon is not a bad person, he will be a good friend. However, whether or not this may change in the future I do not know as humanʼs heart is unpredictable.〗Silveria said.

ʼI see. I sincerely hope he can become a good friend of mine, a friend to whom I can entrust my back without fearing being betrayed.

Believe me, itʼs a nasty feeling.ʼ Alex said while recalling a certain incident, back on Earth when he freshly started, he was not even billionaire when one of his friends (his best friend) with whom he was working betrayed him and stole his application, this happened because he trusted the said friend too much to take the necessary precautions to avoid such a situation.

Consequently, he lost millions and was forced to start over.

〖I see, so you also experienced a betrayal? I never thought that youʼve such a past.〗

Silveria mumbled as she didnʼt expect Alex to have such a past, like her previous owner who was once betrayed by his best friend, Alex was also betrayed by his best friend, how ironic.

ʼFrom your words and my senior previous warning, I can say that he has been betrayed by his friend. Am I wrong? Alex inquired as he remembered that in the last vision he had about the previous owner of his Gift, the latter warned him to not blindly trust.

〖Indeed, he has been betrayed by his best friend.〗Silveria did not refute Alexʼs claim.

ʼItʼs the golden-haired young man Arturo isnʼt it?ʼ

〖Indeed itʼs him. The previous owner of Excalibur.〗Silveria said, her voice was filled with hatred.

ʼI see no wonder, the first I summoned you two, even though you were sealed, I detect enmity directed at Leonardoʼs Gift from you.ʼ

Alex said, remembering what happened the first time he summoned his Gift, he had thought it was his imagination but guess it was not.

Shaking his head Alex decided to postpone questioning Silveria about what exactly happened for two friends to turn against each, for now, he must train.

ʼLetʼs go, I must train hard.ʼ
