Chapter 314: Other competitors (1)
I couldn't help raising a brow when I heard this, but still I remained silent as I waited to see what he would give me.
To my surprise, he placed what seemed to be a touch screen phone on the table, but I had never seen a phone like this before.
Rather than a phone, it seemed to be some kind of tablet.
After putting this down on the table, he didn't say anything as he waited for me to take it.
I looked at him with the same raised brow and confused look, but I still took it in the end to see what he would give me.
When I turned this thing on, it didn't seem to have anything.
In fact, it seemed that it didn't even function like a normal phone or tablet.
The only thing that it was showing was the feed from the camera on the back of it.
Holding it in my hand like this, it didn't seem like there was anything special about this thing.
I slowly looked back up at Alex and asked, "This is it?"
Alex just raised a hand and wagged a finger before saying, "How could that be? Why don't you try pointing the camera at someone?"
I couldn't help slightly knitting my brows when I heard him trying to act all mysterious like this, but I didn't say anything. Instead, I just followed his advice and pointed it up at him.
Alex was caught on the screen, but still there was nothing that appeared.
Seeing that I was pointing it at him, he said with a bitter smile, "I didn't mean me. Try someone else in this cafe and you'll see what I mean."
I didn't bother playing with him and turned it to someone else at random.
As soon as I did, I was surprised by what suddenly popped out on the screen of this phone.
As he had said, I really did understand what he meant as soon as this popped out.
Svetlana Vasilev
Guild: Siberian Wolves
Awakener Rank: A (Currently at C Rank)
Power: Wolf Companions (Summoning skill)
The rest of the popup was a bunch of background information on this person and a bunch of information on what her powers were.
There was also a small blurb about the weakness of her power, but…
"For more information, please contact your local service provider and order a subscription."
My lip couldn't help twitching when I saw this.
It was clear that this was done on purpose to annoy me, but I knew that this was the game that he wanted to play.
So the gift that he gave me was this information and if I wanted more information…then I would have to work out a deal with Alex.
This seemed very interesting, but I also couldn't help feeling suspicious of this.
Out of all the people that he could have chosen, why us?
Like I would actually believe what he said before about us liking the desserts here.
At the same time, I couldn't help being amazed by just how advanced this technology was.
I had never heard of anything like this before and wouldn't have believed it unless it was in front of me like this.
So seeing this firsthand really was surprising, but I didn't let myself show it on my face.
At the same time, there was no verifying if the information on this was even true or not.
So for now, I would have to see what he wanted.
I put the phone down after pointing it at a single person and then looked at Alex with narrowed eyes to ask, "What do you want?"
Alex was surprised to see how forward I was, but he wasn't offended as he suddenly revealed a wide smile and said, "Very good, I like forward people like you. It's too much of a pain to beat around the bush all the time, just like my…"
He went off to tell a story about a relative that really didn't have anything to do with this conversation.
I didn't interrupt him at first since I wanted to see where he was going with this, but it didn't seem like he was going anywhere in the end.
It seemed that he was the opposite of the kind of person he liked.
He was someone long winded that seemed to like the sound of his own voice.
If he was allowed to keep going, he most likely would have kept going for a long time.
So in the end, I had no choice but to give a cough to bring him back to this conversation.
As if he realized what he had done, Alex revealed an awkward look before saying, "Well, it's very simple. What I want is to build an alliance with you for the tournament."
I couldn't help knitting my brows when I heard this.
I didn't say anything, I just looked at him as if I was trying to figure out if he was being serious or not.
However, Alex didn't look away as he looked back at me with a smile on his face.
The way that he looked at me, it was almost as if he was saying that he had nothing to hide.
Seeing him like this, I couldn't help wavering a bit as I started to feel like he was being serious.
But still, I didn't let myself waver too much as I asked, "We have no idea what the tournament will entail, so how do you know that we'll be able to make alliances?"
Alex's smile changed to become one that seemed like he had already expected me to ask this.
With this smile he said, "Each guild was allowed to send many participants, why would they do that if they were just to compete with each other in the end? So there must be some aspect of the tournament that allows you to cooperate with each other, right? That's all I'm asking for, for you to work with me during those rounds."
I raised a brow to look at him, but this time I didn't question this.
Instead, I asked, "Why us?"
