Modern Cultivation : The Strongest Couple Bonded by Vampire System

Chapter 148: Dire Situation



Lily's eyebrow raised, a realization coming to her mind, "Ah, you are from The Fat Frog Guild."

"Yes, Lady Lily, we are from that Guild. With the best motto of work in the kingdom."

Lily then explained to Alex how the Guild was famous in this kingdom. It's one of the biggest guilds in the Feloria. The discussion then changed to how the Guild works.

At first, Alex thought it was similar to the guilds he had read about in novels, but here, it turned out that it was basically a company.

A civilian needs to have their own Guild or join an existing one to open their own business. Joining a guild will give them many benefits, from loans to cheaper rent of the guild property.

In this kingdom, there are also no banks, and since the data of their money is put in their own crystal, there is no need for one.

Alex then asked William if he knew the conflict between nobles could escalate into something big; this made William's expression turn serious.

"There are no conflicts between the royals now."

"What do you mean? No conflict? That is impossible."

Alex was surprised by this. Was it royalty without any conflict? There is no way it can exist. It's like saying political parties exist in harmony.

The possibility of this happening is almost zero; even small stuff can be blown up by their competitor to gain more votes from the populace.

"Yes, that is why my father also finds it weird. It's been like this for two years now. The people were happy with the situation," William said, then continued eating.

"Why do you say it like it's something bad? It's good that there is no conflict." Lily asked William.

William responded with a shrug; he didn't want to go into a debate with the Guardian captain.

Alex then tapped his finger on the table while he thought.

'For people to stay together, they should have the same purposes. Just what kind of reason can unite every political party to get united?

It should be something big; in my world, this only happened because we have the same enemy, and it only lasts for a moment.'

Alex then started thinking about the possibility of the enemy they faced, and in the end, he came to one conclusion.

'Damn that geezer,' Alex cursed in his mind.

He speculated that the current king probably had some kind of plan to attack the Sentinel, and now, thanks to the bangle on his hand, he had no choice but to get involved.

No matter what he says, it will only be a matter of time before the king's actions start making moves on him.

Alex was sure the king was the main culprit; there was a very slim chance for Blaire to be able to unite all the nobles.

'The king should also know I am a human from the outside world; he will take more precautions for sure,' Alex thought.

His own presence now already advertises that the Sentinel know what they are doing and sent him to take care of it.

While Alex's mind churned with what he should do, a message came from Patricia.

BAM! He hit the table hard, forgetting to control his power because of the news. It split into two.

William, Patricia, and Roxy stood up, jumping a few steps back from Alex. They could feel an invisible pressure emanating from him.

Alex learned the situation from Patricia; Olivia and the rest were forced to move because of the sudden raid by the skeleton troop.

Even now, they are still running away, trying to look for a safe place. The situation was dire.

Alex's gaze turned cold; he knew he needed to find a way to return faster from this place, but to do that, he would need to negotiate with Aimu.

'Aimu sent me here to take care of this problem; I will finish this quickly and negotiate with him.'

Alex then sent out orders to Zargarth to back up Patricia and the others.

Zargarth has come to the place where Alex disappeared, but there is nothing weird in the area.

He did meet with a few more parasites; this made Alex think there was a nest of parasites in the area, so he told Patricia to avoid going near it and move in another direction.

William and Lily still gazed warily at Alex; Lily prepared to fight at any time while William prepared to run.

The market also turned silent; everyone was focusing on Alex. The local authorities also quickly came but didn't dare to do anything. This was far above their pay grade.

"Alex, what do you intend to do?" Lily asked.

Her voice made him return to reality. Seeing the mess in front of him, Alex's lips curled into a cold smile.

"Sorry, I just remembered something important. Change of plan, Lily, bring me to Blaire's place."

"Why? What? Why to his place?" Lily asked since she didn't understand why Alex suddenly wanted to go there.

"Just show me the way, and I will explain the way. Don't you want justice for your friend?"

With the mention of Sasha, Lily started considering whether to bring him there or not. Based on how Alex acted, she could tell Alex didn't plan to go there just for a conversation.

Seeing all this, William stood forward then interjected, "Sir Alex, if you mean Blaire Russell, the one that got married to Princess Sasha, I know where to find him."

Alex took out the name card he got from Blaire and then gave it to William. "Is this the one?"

Taking the card, William double-checked the name and address. He then gave a nod.

"Yes, this is the one. Since you have his card, why not just try to contact him? Ask him for a meeting. I am sure he will gladly stop whatever he was doing now and come to you."

"Lily, how can I contact him with this card?" Alex asked.

"The small crystal on the card will allow you to send a message to him. Just press it for a few seconds, and a small hologram interface will appear, allowing you to send a message."
