Death Guns In Another World

Chapter 324 - 308: I have a Plan

Back to Alexʼs location.

Artemia and Isabella dashed toward the fallen Alex and checked his condition; his body was scorching, his heartbeat was beating at fast speed.

Ba-dump! Ba-dump! Ba-dump!

ʼʼWhatʼs going on, your highness?”

Isabella couldnʼt help but inquire after seeing Alex in this state.

ʼʼIt is probably has something to do with his sister. Something bad must have happened. Although-”

Before Artemia could finish answering Isabellaʼs question, she got interrupted.

ʼʼGracier, donʼt go, Gracier, Alexandra!!! Wait!!!”

As if he was having a nightmare, Alex shouted as his body started thrashing.

With Isabellaʼs help, Artemia managed to calm Alex before he further rampages to hurt himself. Isabella used a water skill to cool Alexʼs temperature; the latter fell asleep just after this.

Artemia and Isabella waited for Alex to wake up before going back; they couldnʼt live with a sleeping Alex. However, even after one day, Alex showed no sign of waking up. The girls decided to wait a little bit to see; maybe he was exhausted; unfortunately, even on the second day, Alex was still unconscious, even Silveria didnʼt show up.

Artemia and Isabella became worried as Alex showed no sign of waking up after two days. However, they could do nothing except wait; in these two days, they kept feeding Alex a High-grade Healing potion; they even mixed in Mana recovery potion and yet still no response. Facing Alexʼs situation, they were helpless.

In the outside world, the capital was thrown into turmoil after Maria, Sakuya, Luna, and Leon returned injured, announcing the kidnapping of Alexʼs sister, Elseria went berserk, she sent her forces to go search for Gracier, she even asked the Mercenary Guild for help, Sera was seriously injured, even so, she tried to go search for Gracier, it was thanks to Elseria harsh words she stopped and decided to recuperate enough to be able to complete the search mission.

All the students sent into dungeons have returned, except for Alexʼs group; these students were being kept in the academy dormitory for observation to check if there was nothing unusual about them.

Another two passed, still no sign of Alexʼs group. People started wondering if Alexʼs group didnʼt encounter any mishaps.

However, on the evening of the same day, Alexʼs group came back.

Alex could be seen sauntering toward the academy; there was no expression on his face, only coldness. Artemia, who was walking on his right, couldnʼt help but sigh; she didnʼt know how many she sighed like this; Alex woke up this morning, and since then, he was always like this; he didnʼt talk too much, only respond with few words.

As Artemia expected, Gracier got kidnapped by someone, Maria and others seriously injured; as for how Alex knew this, Artemia didnʼt dare to ask as she could feel Alexʼs anger.

Isabella stayed silent as well; however, from time to time, she would sneak peek at Alex to see if there was a change; unfortunately, his face was still expressionless as they come closer to the academy. The passerby wanted to shout to welcome Artemiaʼs arrival; however, the atmosphere around her didnʼt permit such action, so they could only close their mouths.

Finally, Alexʼs group entered the academy; Chris was waiting for their arrival; he didnʼt say a word; he leads Alexʼs group toward where the others are.

For the first time since waking up, Alexʼs expression softened when he saw Luna, Maria, Sakuya, Leon, and others.

ʼʼHow are you?”

ʼʼFine, itʼs good to see you back.ʼʼ

Maria, Luna, and Sakuya said in unison before giving Alex a group hug.

ʼʼMy friend, thank you for what you have done. Iʼll remember it.ʼʼ

Still hugging the girls, Alex turned his head in Leonʼs direction.

Leon smiled helplessly and said, ʼʼNo need for thank between us. I should be apologizing instead as I couldnʼt keep up my promise-”

ʼʼSay no more; you have done your best. Letʼs me take it from now on.ʼʼ Alex interrupted Leon and said.

ʼʼSorry, Alex, we couldnʼt help. If you need anything, say it, we will help you find her. I have already instructed some people to search for her.ʼʼ

The Wolfangʼs twin and Kuina said.

ʼʼThank you. I will be relying on you.ʼʼ

Seeing Alex responding to his friends, Artemia and Isabella heaved a sigh of relief. However, their expressions suddenly changed when they saw a group approaching them; this group was not present when Alexʼs group entered.

It was Leonardoʼs group, putting on a concerned expression, Leonardo who was in the lead said, his voice was loud, loud enough for everyone to hear it.

ʼʼWelcome back, Alexander; Iʼm sorry for what-”

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!!

Before Leonardo could finish whatever he planned to say, the world in front of him blurred for a split second before returning to normal, and a horrible explosion shook the whole building. Soon another explosion followed.

People became dumbfounded; Leonʼs eyes widened as he was the one to understand what was going; he wondered how Alex knew those were involved, then he remembered Alexʼs words, he talked as if he saw what happened; everything makes sense now.

Chris, who just came after leaving to bring Freya, was shocked to see Leonardo and Damien embedded in the opposite wall; the sturdy wall was cracked; Freya stopped Chris when he wanted to lash out at Alex for suddenly attacking his classmates.

ʼʼWait, there must be a reason for the boy to act like that.ʼʼ

Chris could only sigh as he didnʼt have the choice.

While ignoring the incredulous looks of the people around him, Alex slowly walked toward Leonardo, aiming Silveria at Damien; he disabled him with one bullet in each limb.

ʼʼGuh! Pfff!”

After spurting blood, Damien passed out.

Someone suddenly appeared before Alex forcing him to stop; it was Camilla.

ʼʼPlease, Alex, stop, please stop, I beg-”

ʼʼMoveʼʼ

Only one word, and Camilla fell on his knees shivering, Alexʼs glare, his voice was too frightening, it was as if she was sent to the abyss of death as if she was facing the King of hell, going against his order would result in death. Neither Kevin nor Dodolus could move after being glared at by Alex.

Alex continued to walk toward Leonardo, who was puking blood nonstop; he stopped few steps away, heterochromia eyes locked into him, Leonardo didnʼt know from where the immense feeling of absolute fear came from, but he couldnʼt look at Alex in the face.

However, when he remembered where they are, the people around them, Leonardo ground his teeth.

ʼʼWhat are you planning to do? Wh what is the meaning-”

Bang!

ʼʼGaha!”

A solid punch landed in Leonardoʼs stomach; his armor cracked, he almost lost consciousness.

Lifting him, Alex took the air. This action surprised many; even Freya, who usually remains calm facing any situation, couldnʼt help but be surprised.

ʼʼRank 10?”

Most of the people present couldnʼt believe that Alex became Rank 10 in less than a month; one should know that the gap between Rank 7 to 10 was huge, one needs a tremendous amount of XP to level up, not only that one needs time as well, lot of time, so when they saw Alex jumping from Rank 7 to 10 in less than one month, people were beyond surprised.

They wished to learn what happened; unfortunately, now wasnʼt the time.

Maria, Luna, Sakuya, Kuina, Eris, Ferris, and Leon couldnʼt help but lament, most of them are currently Rank 8, with a few closer to Rank 9; however, Alex outclassed them.

ʼʼSigh! What a freak!”

Leon said the others couldnʼt help but agree.

In the sky, Alex held the struggling Leonardo by the neck; he coldly stared into the latter eyes. No words, only brutal moves.

Crack!

ʼʼGah!ʼʼ

Crack!

ʼʼAhhhhhh~ʼʼ

Under the crowd of astonished eyes, Alex broke Leonardoʼs arms; he bent them to an unnatural angle.

ʼʼWai wait, it wasnʼt me. It was Damienʼs idea. I donʼt know anything; I donʼt know where they sent your sister-”

BANG! Fwoosh!

ʼʼGiaaaaahhh!”

Without hesitation, Alex fired a Fire into Leonardoʼs left leg; it was set ablaze; Alex extinguished the flame with an ice bullet. The pain was unbearable, so Leonardo lost consciousness. However, he was brought back by a few slaps.

On the ground, people couldnʼt believe what they just heard, to think Damien and Leonardo were responsible for Gracierʼs kidnapping.

ʼʼTake Damien to the dungeon. And contact the pope.ʼʼ

Freya ordered before flying toward Alex, once on the same level as him, she suggested.

ʼʼBoy, let him go. You have vented enough. Letʼs us take it from now on.ʼʼ

Alex didnʼt say anything; he threw Leonardo toward the ground; like a meteor; Leonardo crashed against the hard floor, leaving a deep crater there.

ʼʼI will come back.ʼʼ

Alex said before descending toward Maria and others.

ʼʼAlex, can I have a word with you?”

The moment Alex descended on the ground, Leon asked; Alexʼs expression softened.

ʼʼSure.ʼʼ

The two went somewhere secluded before Leon recounted what happened, what he saw inside his injury, its piece of black metal.

After studying the piece of black metal, Alex found nothing; he decided to store it away.

〖This piece can help us find where they took Gracier. Iʼm more curious about what is the goal of that woman. She didnʼt kill the girls; she even let a hint behind, almost as if she wished to be found. Who is this girl?〗

To Silveriaʼs question, Alex stayed silent; he would like to have the answer as well.

When he was unconscious, he saw Gracierʼs last memories, how the black-skinned woman singlehandedly take care of them after killing her subordinates. It was thanks to these memories that Alex learned that Damien and Leonardo were present; they did nothing; it didnʼt take a genius to connect the dots and know what this means.

ʼʼI donʼt know what the group behind Gracierʼs kidnapping want but with the womanʼs unusual behavior, we can speculate that Gracier wonʼt be killed; with the clue left behind, we can find her.ʼʼ

ʼʼI will depart tomorrow. I must find my sister soon. She must be afraid. If only I were there.ʼʼ

ʼʼStop blaming yourself. The only thing to do now is to find her make her stronger, put some stronger people around her for this type of situation never to happen again.ʼʼ Leon slapped Alexʼs shoulder seeing depressed.

ʼʼAs for those two. I will make them regret what they have done.ʼʼ Leon added when he remembered Damien and Leonardo.

ʼʼDonʼt worry, I have my plan. I donʼt want a complete fallout with the Crux empire yet, but Leonardo, I have use for him. I know what to do.ʼʼ Alex said to his friend. He remembered the talk he had with Silveria after learning what happened.

ʼʼThat is good. You should leave to get some sleep; you need it.ʼʼ

Leon said while pushing his friend to leave. Alex sighed; after exchanging few words with the others, he left with Luna, Maria, and Sakuya. Artemia promised to visit him tomorrow.
