Chapter 136: CHAPTER 136 – The Mysterious Group.
The mysterious group that appears out of nowhere and vanishes into nowhere is quite famous all over the world as they have been stealing many things, and all of those things were the ones with the most value.
Alice, Alex, and Ann had been moving from one country to another, clearing gates, but they were not just clearing gates, they were gathering information from everywhere as having more information never hurts.
In those pieces of information, they found many files mentioning that mysterious group of people. It was like they were everywhere and nowhere at the same time.
Alex came to the same conclusion as anyone investigating this case.
"They probably have many space skill users."
Although it sounded absurd, this was the only conclusion one could think of.
There was only one known space element user all over the world, so of course it would be hard to believe that there is a group of people who can use space element.
"Or maybe they have some item or artifact that helps them control space in some way."
But Alex thought of another possibility.
It was possible after all.
However, even after they searched for the said group when they had free time, they could never find them.
They knew one thing though, and it was that this mysterious group was moving all around the world and it had a lot of connections.
It was not hard to come to that conclusion since the information they got was in pieces and incomplete.
It was as if someone had deleted or removed something from between them.
It was the first time they found a trace of those black-clothed mysterious group in Violet Country.
"What should we do?" Alice asked as she heard Alex confirming their thoughts.
"We wait," Alex answered with a smile.
"Huh?" X2
Alice and Ann didn't understand why Alex wanted to wait.
"Don't we already know who is responsible for the attack?" Alice asked in a perplexed tone.
"It's clear as a day," Alex nodded his head.
"Then can't we just go and search them up? You can use your disguise skill that will help us in looking for the information without being detected, and we can get the information before someone tempers with it again."
Ann spoke as she made up the whole plan.
They had found a few guilds that could be related to the group but by the time they got their hands on any information related to that mysterious group, many parts of that information would be messed up or completely gone.
"We can do that, sure, but we don't know if the result would be the same or there would be any difference.
Rather than going with on a path that I'm not sure of, I would suggest we go for the path that would get us what we want for sure."
Alex replied to Ann.
"How will waiting be helpful in this situation?" Alice asked with confusion clear in her voice.
"We have been digging up information on them and we are the strongest force in the world right now, you know these things, right?"
Alex asked as he looked into Alice's eyes.
"Yes," Alice nodded her head.
"They had attacked some strong forces before, you know that as well, right?" Alex then turned to Ann and asked.
"Yes," Ann also nodded her head.
"Why were we not attacked yet?" Alex asked, and Ann answered without thinking much as the answer was clear.
"Because we are strong."
"But they did attack us now, did they not?" Alex asked Ann with a light smile.
Ann widened her eyes in realization.
Alex just smiled as he saw that Ann got what he meant but he still continued as he could see Alice still hadn't caught up.
"Them attacking us or having a hand in the attack that could harm us means that they are now strong enough to fight us or they have something that gives them the confidence that they could defeat us.
There's a possibility that all of this was a way for them to lead us into a trap made by them, and I would rather not take chances.
The best thing to do right now is wait, we wait for them to get frustrated enough to attack us directly, and then we can get all the information we want about them from their own mouths."
Alex concluded his point with that, and he could see that Alice was now hit by realization as well.
"You get what I mean, right?" Alex asked Alice with a smile.
"Yes!" Alice nodded her head repeatedly, showing that she really understood what Alex meant.
"Good," Alex nodded as he patted her head gently.
"Hehe…." Alice giggled as she closed her eyes to enjoy the pats.
Ann looked at Alex with such intensity that Alex could feel her gaze piercing him.
But he just chuckled.
"Just say it if you want it as well," Alex just shrugged as he continued to pat Alice who didn't even hear anything as she was enjoying her time.
"Then pat me as well," Ann spoke clearly without a stutter.
Alex raised a brow as he was a bit surprised by her straight and instantaneous response. He didn't think that Ann would be able to do it, but he could see Ann clenching her fists, trying hard to hide her embarrassment.
[You are underestimating her willpower; her willpower is so strong that I was doubting if that was even possible for a normal human with no bloodline.]
Sophia commented as she could tell why Alex was surprised.
'I know, she is special,' Alex just spoke dotingly as he complimented Ann.
Sophia just shook her head and sighed inwardly.
Alex then smiled as he lifted his hand and patted Ann as well.
'I somehow miss Noctura, right now….' Alex muttered inwardly.
[You were the one who permitted her to go, no use regretting it now.]
Sophia commented on Alex's words.
Alex didn't reply to it as he really did give Noctura permission to go hunt alone.
"Well, that's it for now, I don't want to spoil you guys too much," Alex spoke with a smirk as he retracted his hand and sat back on his seat.
Alice and Ann opened their mouths to say something but then they heard some footsteps and realization hit them.
They just glared at Alex.
'Just say the real reason!' X2
They exclaimed inwardly.
They could tell why Alex stopped patting them since they could hear people coming toward them.
Their relationship was still not confirmed after all, they were just in the dating phase, and that too was destroyed.
'Where's the fun in that,' Alex just chuckles inwardly as if he could read their thoughts.
The owner of the footstep finally came to view and it turned out to be Damien along with some waiters bringing the dishes.
