Primordial Soul's Rebirth

"Alex, are you sure about not informing Lily?"

Max questioned with utmost seriousness.

His daughter was his world, so if it was anything related to her, his being somber was justified.

’Sigh….’ Read new chapters at NovelBin.Côm

His question made Alex sigh inwardly.

"I’m sure…"

Alex replied.

Alex didn’t say anything else.

And Max, who heard Alex’s words stared at Alex.

"She will know eventually, and she will be sadder if she knew that you went away without meeting her one last time."

Max’s face turned somber.

Just the thought of Lily being sad made Max mad, but he wanted Alex to tell him that there was no better way than this.

"As I said, I don’t want to recall your sad faces whenever I think of you guys.

Do you think she will be able to smile, even after knowing that I’m going to go so far that she won’t even be able to talk to me?"

Alex’s question stumped Max.

He knew the answer to Alex’s question.

It was no.

She won’t be able to smile and laugh, knowing full well that she might not meet Alex again.

But…

"But, if she knew that you left her without a goodbye-"

"I’m not going to be gone forever."

Max wanted to argue, but his words were cut short by Alex.

Alex, who saw Max looking into his eyes, continued.

"I’ll come back. I told you that already.

If I know how to leave, then I know how to come back as well.

So, just wait, and try to stall for time. Just don’t let her know that I’m gone.

Tell her that I’m busy with something, or tell her that we had a fight or something.

Just tell her something."

Alex held Max’s shoulders, and he took a deep breath.

"You are her father, think of something."

Max, who heard Alex’s words, and saw his expression sighed….

The way Alex was gritting his teeth, trying to control his expression from breaking, Max could guess that he was not the only one who was worried about Lily.

’He loves her just like I do…’

He shook his head inwardly.

He missed the point that it was not just him who was always worried about Lily.

Alex was a step ahead of him when it came to worry.

For Alex, Lily was like a little sister.

Max was even wondering why Alex didn’t ask for him to let Lily tag along with them.

Of course, he wouldn’t have agreed to it, but Alex didn’t even try.

"All right, I’ll think of something."

Max’s shoulder slumped as he thought of ways to lie to his daughter.

Something he never wanted to do.

’Sigh….’

Alex sighed inwardly.

He was worried about Lily, just like Max had thought.

No, he was worried more than Max thought he was.

Why else did he get so many people up to rank EX?

It was all for Lily’s safety.

Helping the world was just something he was doing along with it.

Alex didn’t change, after all.

Just like before, he still didn’t care about others, but for his people, he would kill anyone.

So, for Lily, using some points was the least he could do.

If not for the fact that taking Lily away from Max and Grace would make both Lily and Max sad, Alex would’ve already picked her up.

It took a lot of effort to control himself, or he would’ve really done that.

The main reason for him not wanting Lily here was also the same.

If he saw her now, crying as he left her behind, he would just pull her along only to regret that decision later.

’I don’t want her to grow up without parents…’

Alex knew from his memories how hard it is to grow up without parents.

How much you need them while growing up, Alex knew it all.

He didn’t want Lily to feel the loss of her parents, so he decided to control himself, for her sake, and for Max’s sake.

"Good."

He just smiled as he patted Max’s slumped shoulders.

[Alex, the system has charged the amount of mana required for the jump.]

Suddenly, Sophia’s voice was heard in his head.

Alex turned toward Alice, Ann, and Luna, nodding to them, before he spoke with a forced smile.

"Well, I guess this is goodbye then…"

Alex forced a smile, but it looked as if he was really happy.

But well, he was a master at controlling his emotions, so it was not that big of a deal.

Max, hearing Alex’s words, looked up into his eyes, and all he saw was happiness.

He couldn’t tell if it was real or fake, but just so he could smile as well, he believed it to be real, and he smiled as well.

"I see, take care then…"

Max muttered with a smile.

"You don’t have to worry about me, I’m still young.

You should worry about yourself more, lest you are already dead because of some old age disease even before I come back."

Alex shook his head with a teasing smile.

His words, however, did the magic, and Max, who was trying to force a smile, turned annoyed.

"Hah? I won’t be dying anytime soon.

Not before I see my daughter conquer the whole world, so worry about your reckless, thrill-searching, ass."

Max slapped Alex’s hand that was resting on his shoulder with an irritated frown.

The girls, on the other hand, giggled.

"Those two will never change…."

Grace shook her head with a giggle before she turned toward Alice.

"Take care of yourself, and try to keep him under you. Use the tricks I told you."

Grace moved forward and hugged Alice while whispering those words into her ears.

Alice’s face turned red like a tomato as she heard Grace’s words and recalled the details Grace had given her before, but she just hugged Grace tightly.

"Take care of yourself, Grace."

Alice muttered as her eyes turned a bit teary.

"I will."

Grace hugged Alice tighter.

Both of them were good friends, and Alice being the most emotional one, was not good at goodbyes, so her being sad was justified.

But she still forced a smile as she separated from Grace.

Grace smiled at Alice before she turned toward Ann, and hugged her as well.

"I don’t have anything I have to tell you, you are smart enough to take care of everyone, so just stay safe."

Grace uttered as she hugged Ann’s body.

"Thank you, I will. You take care of yourself, and Lily."

Ann hugged Grace back with a smile.

"Un."

Grace nodded her head as she separated from Ann.

Then she turned toward Luna who was looking at her awkwardly.

They’d never actually met, so Luna didn’t know what to say, but Grace just smiled and pulled her into a hug.

"What you’re trying to do is going to be hard, but not impossible, so go for it.

I’m rooting for you!"

Grace cheered for Luna in her ears.

Luna, although initially surprised, in the end, just smiled and hugged Grace back.

"Thank you."

Luna thanked Grace.

She knew that Grace, someone who had been in love with one guy wholeheartedly for a long time, so long that Alice and Ann couldn’t compare to, would be able to tell that she loved Alex quite easily.

So, she took her words to heart and her determination to get Alex’s love only increased.

"Come on, girls.

Let’s go."

Alex’s voice was heard, so Luna separated from Grace, and Grace just passed a knowing smile to Luna and then to Alice, causing both of them to get a little flustered.

The women moved closer to Alex and Max.

Alice, Ann, and Luna went to Alex’s side while Grace was on Max’s.

"Come back soon, Alex.

Lily will really miss you…."

Grace uttered as she looked at Alex with an imploring look.

"I will."

Alex smiled at her before he turned toward Max.

"Take care of Lily for me."

Alex smiled at Max, but Max just huffed.

"She’s my daughter, of course, I’ll take care of her."

Max pretended to be annoyed, but all of them knew that he just didn’t want to appear sad.

"All right."

’Sophia…’

Alex muttered inside his head while nodding and the next instant, Alex, Alice, Ann, and Luna started glowing.

Alex gave Max a last smile before he turned in a certain direction and his smile widened.

’See you later….’

Alex lip-synced before he vanished along with the girls.

"Sigh…."

Clare, who was hiding in space, sighed audibly before she just smiled and ran back toward the villa.

Her smile, however, was not a happy smile, it was melancholy.

But she couldn’t change anything, so she just went with the flow.

"He’s annoying…"

Max muttered after Alex and the group vanished.

"Sure he is."

Grace nodded as well before she pulled him into a hug.

"Go on…"

Grace whispered.

"So a-annoying…."

Max who had his face buried within Grace’s mounds muttered again, but his voice was cracked.

He finally couldn’t stop his tears…..
