The Young master's fake bride and her lucky system-Chapter 580: It begins.
Chapter 580: It begins.
With the return of the system, it took Alix only thirty minutes to find Lord Night walker and behead him. Just like that, she advanced to the second dungeon level. She did not plan to game for two days and she left Dark Death a message, telling her so.
One hour later, she was on the beach, relaxing under the warm sun. She had been nursing on a pina colada made without a single drop of alcohol for thirty minutes.
The beach was packed with people having fun, even robots sunbathing, which was very unnatural. In the hidden city you would really see everything.
Somebody had released all of the cats on the beach with their little hats and they were rolling around in the sand, biting each other playfully or running away from a very playful tiger system host that was terrorizing them.
Also, there were too many golden monkeys flying around from tree to tree. The blue smurf had told her someone had an Ape morphing system and she could create as many of those little monkeys as she wanted.
Of course, that had been followed up with an offer to devour that host if Alix wished. She had turned it down, she would have preferred the wolves to the monkey.
The monkeys were thieves, they were going around stealing snacks from children. One had even stolen her bread pudding and then stuck a tongue out at her before running away. They were irritating but they did make the beach lively.
On the water itself, there were too many vessels, human and those from the other worlds. It truly was a place of freedom for system hosts.
In fact, if she changed into her dragon form, nobody would bat an eye. They would gather around her however and ask to take pictures or touch her. She was not very eager to change into a dragon so soon after only having gotten rid of the horns.
She was still lazy and exhausted so she covered a hat over her eyes and slept off.
Two people were watching her sleep, it was actually more than two people because Alix was quite famous in the system host world after all.
The two people that were most interested in her were the twins that reported all of her movements back to the captain and the spies, working for the six families.
One of the twins pretentiously passed by Alix and observed her breath.
"She is sleeping." he whispered.
He walked away and reported this to the captain.
At the top floor of the hotel, the captain was watching the beach through a long range telescope. To be specific, he was not watching the beach but a single person that just happened to be at the beach.
He frowned when he received the news that she was sleeping.
"Is she crazy? This is not the time to sleep."
She had Afaro’s location and all she was doing was sleeping!! Did she know what she had? If they had Afaro then they practically had Genesis. This was not the time for a vacation, they had so little time left to the world president election. Even though it was months, it was still little.
"Wake her up." he commanded. "Tell her i want to talk to her."
One twin looked at Alix and then he looked up to the room where the captain was. He couldn’t see him but he knew the man was there.
"Err...captain, that is not a good idea. Her cat is ...err...sunbathing, sun napping....i don’t know. The cat is guarding her. I don’t want to lose my sword wielding arm."
Who didn’t know that the cat’s claws were more dangerous than those of its master. Only two hours ago, it had been seen around the city prison and then ten minutes later, weather boy was found bleeding, almost to death if he had not been saved in the nick of time. Something had sliced his neck and the cat was the most suspicious one.
There was no evidence and they could not question it.
"Fine, keep watching her but when she wakes up, send her up to me. Be polite, you cannot disrespect her in public, keep her identity in mind. And stand guard around her, don’t let irrelevant people get too close to her."
The captain did not want to leave anything to chance.
"Where is Mantis? Isn’t she supposed to be her personal bodyguard?"
The twins looked out at the water, if Mantis was at the beach, she was in the water. The twins strategically placed themselves behind Alix’s beach and pretended to be busy on their phones so as not to stand out.
***
An hour and some minutes later, Alix woke up from her nap thanks to a full bladder that was impatient to be relieved. She looked briefly at her cat and saw him burying his face in a heap of sand around a sand castle that someone had built masterfully.
"Majesty, i am coming back, so behave." she shouted out a reminder and stood up.
Behind her, the twins also stood up and when she started walking to the nearest washrooms, they followed her as if somehow they had got the urge to relieve themselves at the exact same moment as her.
What kind of instructions had the captain given them, Alix wondered. The need to follow her to the washroom was a little over the top. It didn’t matter anyway, the extra security given her current circumstances was not a bad thing.
When they followed her into the women’s bathroom however, it was a little extra. She stopped and turned around.
"Stop."
Like perfect soldiers, they came to a stand still.
"You should know when to limit yourselves unless you want to be called perverts."
Just when Alix had finished saying it, a woman came out of one of the bathroom stalls and saw the twins. Immediately, she let out a high pitched scream of magnanimous fright.
"Help, help."
The twins fled the bathroom immediately.
Alix turned around to face the woman who was still screaming.
"You can stop now, the scared maiden routine is not going to work on me. I saw you stand up as soon as i did and you entered here just five seconds before me. There is no way you eased yourself in five seconds. I have been studying you and you do not belong. Let me guess, you are here to kill me."
The woman sniggered, proving to Alix that she had bad intentions indeed.
Alix forgot all about the reluctance to morph into a dragon and her claws came out. Before attacking, she had a question which she needed answered.
"I guess they have grown impatient now that the petition to stop non system hosts from holding a presidential position has passed. The vote will be held next week and it is going to be in our favor.
I have been expecting this for a while now. Tell me, which family sent you?"
