Chapter 244 - You ought to save them
“Before I lend your guild a hand, I must check with the royalties first. We can talk as we go here, right?” Alex woke up his friend from his stupor.
Tomo Homie awkwardly laughed, then introduced himself to Alex’s beloveds. The girls reciprocated his feelings, sharing a brief introduction with him. He then guided everyone toward the royal castle, the main and surely the last stronghold in the whole Berden Kingdom.
Alex and his girls could see many people sheltered in the safe zones as they went deeper into the capital’s lands. The closer they were to the castle, the more residents they saw.
Tomo Homie explained, “Not everyone could escape. Many people got wounded, which resulted in them getting immobile. They can only pray for the Berden Kingdom’s survival… Otherwise, the villains will kill them for contribution points.”
He then took a furtive glance at Alex’s expression. Now that both believed in the Avander World’s reality, Tomo Homie was highly interested in Alex’s reaction.
Tomo Homie smiled faintly, ‘That’s my homie. He never would let random people influence him.’
He knew that even a little connection would be enough for Alex to take a serious move to protect residents, though. With his capabilities, Alex could try to take everyone to his Deathwill Castle and its grounds.
But he didn’t know whether he could do it. He also didn’t plan for that came with risks as well.
Tomo Homie felt conflicted that real people were dying around him, too. However, he knew that it wasn’t his fault. He also knew that he already had done as many things as possible, which was the same for all hero guilds.
At last, Alex entered the royal castle. He saw many curious glances from residents and players directed at him and his family. In fact, Tomo Homie became pretty popular in the antagonist events. Hence, people were naturally curious about the people around him.
Their stares were like daggers, though.
After all, the war kept going on. With their high quantity, villains kept attacking the safe zones, trying to break into them. In the long run, they would win, so it wasn’t smart for Tomo Homie to waste his time with someone else.
“Don’t mind them,” Tomo Homie chuckled.
Alex nodded, “I couldn’t care less about them. But their attention took away my desire to look around the royal castle.”
It would be good to compare two castles as Alex owned one. But it wasn’t like his girls lacked fashion or design senses, so he ignored it. Instead, he just trod forward while ignoring the royal castle’s exquisite design.
A throne hall spread itself before Alex and his family.
A similar round table was in the middle, with many residents and players discussing the war’s progress. The players had much more access to information through chat and the guild’s system.
They also had a forum in the real world to see many lands swathed in blood and gore. They also saw a few cities getting liberated by the player with the Deathwill Surname.
And this very player stepped into the throne hall.
“Alexander Deathwill… Are you on a redemption road?” The King, whose level was pretty high, asked Alex immediately after the young man took off his hoodie.
His girls did the same, snatching everyone’s attention, except for the king, whose eyes remained locked on Alex’s face.
The King was a man in his early forties. He looked worse than The Dullahan King, but his body oozed out an experience and mighty aura. Unfortunately, he couldn’t utilize any of these in his current predicament.
Alex also couldn’t bother himself with the man’s experience and presence. With his girls around him, Alex’s presence was also top-notch, not making him smaller than the king with a much higher level.
Alex smiled, “The old me would be on a redemption road to fix Elias Deathwill’s mistakes… I won’t fix his blunders for now unless they benefit me or I wish for it.”
The King’s eyebrow went up, “Elias Deathwill cost lives of millions. He took talents from every corner of the world, wasting their lives for his own selfishness and ego.
Since you took all benefits from his vile deeds, you ought to help people in need. Use your castle’s powers to save my family and citizens.
You can expect us to be your good allies,” The King’s words swept through the whole hall, shocking everyone, including Tomo Homie.
Alex narrowed his eyes, clenching his fists. This man clearly knew about the Deathwill Castle, so there was a chance that the hungry demons had passed him this information. But more than anything, Alex was irked by the fact that someone else pushed another responsibility onto him.
Before he parted his lips to have a heated talk with the king, his kitty uttered the words first while wrapping her tail around his left wrist, “Darling. I don’t want any random people in our castle.
This guy, in particular, ogled me with his eyes. I don’t like it,” Schnee spoke in an innocent tone, which didn’t match her outward appearance.
She pointed at one of the king’s sons, his face scrunching with fear as he had indeed imagined himself pinning down her.
Schnee’s appearance made many male residents feel terrible as if they were the ones hurting her. They glared at the king’s son, demanding him to apologize. They fell prey to her looks.
Of course, Schnee sneered beneath her soft smile, “If this guy dies, I don’t mind giving them a chance, though.”
And as she spoke like an angel, the king’s eyes shifted to his son. Feeling those piercing eyes, the son stood up with a trembling body.
“I didn’t mean to do it. I apologize, ma’am!” the son bowed while feeling fury billowing in his heart. In any different situation, he would use his status to snatch Schnee and milk her.
Alas, the son could only apologize with everyone dagger him with their stares.
Schnee whispered to Alex’s ear, “Now that I have changed the topic, you should just ask about The Lost Kingdom and their research.
If they fail, we leave. No point staying with those asinine people. This sexy girl also hates responsibilities, darling.”
Alex unknowingly grinned while feeling her hot breath. He knew that Schnee from before would’ve reacted differently, probably by cursing the king loud.
But she had changed, and he was the cause, so Alex felt an undescribable feeling within his heart.
He felt pretty proud, and so did his dullahan momma.
