Death Guns In Another World

Chapter 688 - 648: He is hiding something

After Artemia told Alex and Maria was happened, the two decided to tell her what Maria went through after being sent to the lower floor while still unconscious.

ʼʼI see; Iʼm sorry, I didnʼt know you would end up in such a desperate situation.ʼʼ Artemia immediately apologized; she meant those words, and the two could see her sincerity; they waved at her stopping her from apologizing.

ʼʼYou donʼt have to; if you havenʼt done that, Alex wouldnʼt have been able to find a solution to cure my side effect. At the same time, getting closer to cure Typhania.ʼʼ Maria said while looking at Artemiaʼs reaction, as she expected, she could not react immediately.

ʼʼI see, thatʼs a good thing.ʼʼ Artemia nodded before her eyes widened as her brain had finally registered Mariaʼs words.

Alex was already laughing; he had expected some reaction but nothing close to this.

ʼʼWait, what did you say? Typhania?” She asked, doubting her ears, but Maria smiled and confirmed that it was indeed what she said.

ʼʼI said he might have found a cure for Typhania, dear human goddess,ʼʼ Maria added those words to tease Artemia, who froze before smiling.

ʼʼFufufu! I see, so you know. Letʼs say it was to be expected. Okay, now that you know, arenʼt you scared that I might steal him away?”

Because she did not like to be at the losing end, Artemia teased Maria back, but the latter was unfazed.

ʼʼTry if you want, but we both know that instead of stealing him away, it is him that stole your heart, making you unable to leave.ʼʼ

ʼʼUgh!ʼʼ Artemia had nothing to say; she could only admit defeat. Still, just as she decided to do that, she remembered something; looking at Alex, who was smiling like a spectator enjoying a show, she smirked, and Alex immediately had a bad feeling, it was the smirk you friend make when they want to screw you over.

ʼʼI see. Maybe Typhania, beautiful as she is, the most beautiful woman in Mysthia might succeed where I failed. After all, a certain someone had vowed to make her his woman no matter what. How bold.ʼʼ

A chill raced down Alexʼs spine, and he gulped while playing with his hair which had reached his shoulders.

ʼʼOh! Indeed how bold. As expected of my man. He is so bold that itʼs too shocking. Fufufu! Interesting.ʼʼ

Mariaʼs compliment did nothing more than make Alex afraid. Artemia giggled, seeing Alexʼs reaction; when she was about to tease him, Gracier arrived.

ʼʼNnm~ What you are talking about?” Gracier, who followed her brotherʼs presence after she woke up, ended up in Alexʼs room.

ʼʼOh! Sweet little sister. Welcome back. I missed you so much; letʼs catch up somewhere else.ʼʼ Alex hugged Gracier and dragged her out of the room before the girls could react.

The girls looked at each other before they started to laugh.

ʼʼTo think he would be that scared and ran away. How funny.ʼʼ It was Maria who said those words.

ʼʼWell, you might think youʼre complimenting him, but from his point of view, your compliment is full of thorns.ʼʼ

ʼʼI see. Letʼs talk between girls.ʼʼ Mariaʼs face became serious suddenly, making Artemia drop any joke she had planned.

ʼʼOkay, what do you want to know?” Artemia asked while taking out some fine wine she had stolen from her fatherʼs collection, a fifteen-year-old wine. She poured one glass to Maria, who happily accepted and took a sip.

ʼʼAt least ten years old.ʼʼ She commented.

Artemia was shocked. She never thought that Maria was that knowledgeable when it comes to wine.

ʼʼItʼs fifteen years old.ʼʼ She corrected Maria, who nodded before asking.

ʼʼI want to know if we stand a chance against that thing? I mean, the dragon you lost again?”

Artemia didnʼt immediately answer Mariaʼs question; she pondered. Truth be told, knowing how scary that monster was, she was not sure there was that mysterious organization that showed up. From what they have gathered, this organization might be working under the dragon; maybe their goal is to help the dragon break free ahead of time.

All of those factors made things difficult to predict, but she still believed

ʼʼWe can, I believe we can survive.ʼʼ Artemia declared, sure that they would succeed, they would have to win because failing means the death of millions.

ʼʼI see. We donʼt have a choice. I also want to know how many years we still have left before he is free?”

To Mariaʼs question, Artemia gave an immediate response.

ʼʼLess than 3 years. Things have been evolving too fast. The seal wouldnʼt last long, especially after the Chaos organization appeared.ʼʼ Artemia explained.

ʼʼIf only we know where their headquarters is, it will be easy to take them down with our strongest forces, but nothing was found. None of the empires or kingdoms succeeded in making progress; not even a clue was found. Such organization is dangerous to be left alone.ʼʼ

ʼʼIsnʼt it the organization that kidnapped Gracier?” Maria asked, surprising the princess because she was sure that Maria knew that this organization almost made Alex lose someone dear to him. Not knowing why she asked this girl, despite knowing the answer, Artemia nodded.

ʼʼYeah, itʼs the same organization. Alex was the only one that managed to deal them a blow by destroying two of their secret bases since their

apparition. I wish we had been that lucky.ʼʼ

ʼʼI see.ʼʼ It was all Maria said; Artemia frowned, wondering what this girl was playing at. Her response was too lame.

While Mariaʼs answer might appear lame, it was because she was thinking about something, there was something Alex was hiding from them, and she had the feeling that it had something to do with the location of this organization.

She thought of what this could be but still couldnʼt find anything; the reason why she asked those questions was to test Artemia to see if she also felt the same thing but not.

ʼʼLetʼs join them,ʼʼ Maria suggested before leaving the room; she couldnʼt erase the thought that Alex was hiding something she wanted to know.

ʼʼI will know for sure.ʼʼ She declared.
