Primordial Soul's Rebirth

Luna had been managing the Association for almost three months but then she encountered a problem.

That problem's name was Somer Knox.

He was one of the loyal followers of Stephan and he was also one of the people who had seen the scene of Alex injuring Stephan.

From then on Somer held a deep grudge against Alex and he wanted nothing more than Alex's suffering and that hatred of his only increased when Stephan's death was declared.

He gathered a group of raiders in the Association under the banner of 'Revenge for Stephan' and went to meet Luna.

Luna tried to explain things to them, but they didn't listen.

She had tried using her skill as well, but she discovered that her skill was not working on Somer, much to her confusion. (She didn't use it at full power when she used it on them, after all, why would she waste more mana than needed)

But when she read his documents, she saw that this guy had an instigation skill and that was a mental skill, so maybe he was just that angry that his mental barrier had been upped and lot, and maybe that's the reason why he could gather so many people with him.

Luna, however, didn't want any kind of dispute with any Guild so she decided to silence Somer, but then she realized that she was late as the higher-ups of the Association had called for a meeting and had already decided on what to do with the Crimson Lotus Guild.

.........................

"So, how much information did you gather on the gate we have to scout?" Alex asked Ann as he chewed his food.

"I couldn't get much information on the gate as it's a new gate, but it is said to be a special S-rank gate."

Alex's hand stopped midway as it was about to reach his mouth and a grin broke out on his face, but it was hidden pretty quickly so no one noticed it.

He was just happy that he was getting a chance to get a huge increase in his SP, as he had almost emptied his SPs to buy some things for Alice and Ann.

'How many SPs do I have left, right now?' Alex asked Sophia as he continued to eat.

[Not much, it's 547 SPs.]

'I see…...' Alex didn't say much and just let it be.

"A what again?" Alice, however, had a disbelieving look on her face.

"A special S-rank gate," Ann repeated in a somber tone as she placed the tab on the dining table.

But her other hand still moved toward her plate and picked up the spoon to eat the chicken curry and rice that Alex had prepared.

*Chuckle*

Alex chuckled, and so did Sophia who was looking at the scene.

It just looked that funny as Ann was looking towards Alice with a serious and somber face, but her hands were automatically moving towards the food.

"Be serious!!" X2

Both Alice and Ann exclaimed together but the next second they started eating again with serious expressions.

Alex, however, just burst into full-blown laughter as he saw this. It was when he was being glared by the two girls did he stopped laughing and raised his hand in surrender.

"All right, All right. Here, I am serious." Alex spoke and by the end, his face turned serious along with his voice and now he looked like someone who was getting ready to go to war.

'Are you for real?' This is what both Alice and Ann's expressions were right now.

They knew that he was a good actor and sometimes they could not tell if he was just acting or if it was real, but wasn't this too much?

They could even feel some battle intent along with killing intent leaving his body as if he was ready to kill someone.

"So? What are you guys so serious about? Isn't it just a special S-rank gate?" Alex spoke, but his voice remained serious along with his expression.

Alice and Ann were left speechless.

If Alex said in the same relaxed and nonchalant manner as always, then they would have argued, but right now they didn't know if he was seriously serious or if he was just acting.

"I am serious, why are you guys...scared?" Alex took some time to find the best word he could and spoke.

This time both Alice and Ann's expressions changed a little.

"You do know that we are not talking about an A-rank special gate, right?" Alice asked as she looked into Alex's eyes.

"I know that, so?" Alex asked.

"The bosses in these types of gates are of SS-rank," Ann continued Alice's words.

"Hm, and?" Alex still did not look satisfied with the answer he was getting.

Alice and Ann's worries were not unfounded as there had only been two gates ever that were classified as Special S-rank gates and one of them had been cleared.

Still, it would be better to say that it had to be cleared rather than it was cleared as it had reached the time limit and was about to have a gate break.

But at what expense was the gate cleared?

15 S-rank raiders from all over the world had to die and they all died in the boss fight. It was because of their deaths did the others got a chance to clear the gate, and that kind of gate was given to them by the Association to clear.

However, what was worse was that there was still no information about this gate.

"Aren't you guys underestimating yourself a bit too much and did you forget that I am in your guild as well?" Alex asked and finally, his voice turned relaxed.

Alice and Ann were stunned for a while before they smiled lightly. They know that they are strong but they tend to underestimate them as they always lose to Alex.

But when they hear Alex's words, they remember that they already had a monster in their guild, how could a monster harm them with him in their guild?

"But why would Luna want to get into a dispute with us even with the situation the Association is in?" Alice asked as she continued her eating.

"I don't think it was Luna who sent this task to us," Ann spoke calmly as she knew that Luna was not stupid enough to do it.

"Yes, and if we were to deny the task, I am sure that the Association would not press us as by that time Luna would've already taken care of the internal problem in the Association.

After all, she has the perfect skills to handle internal problems within an organization."

Alex spoke as he took a bite of chicken in his mouth.

"Yeah," Ann nodded her head at Alex's words.

"But we are not going to do that are we?" Alice asked with a light smile.

"Of course not, we would be a fool if we were to deny an opportunity to get profits," Alex spoke with the same smile as Alice and Ann just chuckled looking at their interaction.
