Alex stared at Albert whose body twitched and convulsed like a wriggling worm.

Alex just gave him a gentle kick and cast a minor healing spell and waited for the response.

Alex used his spell while channelling his mana to treat him internally.

Alex’s warm mana flowed inside him clearing the cut while his healing spell healed him partially.

But even after waiting for quite some time, Albert’s body only shivered.

“Are you alright?”

“Or are you going to die?”

Alex twitched seeing him not responding.

‘Did I go too hard on him that he had developed a trauma?’Alex muttered.

“You were a good warrior and one of the lucky ones to die by my hand.”

“I should dig a grave and bury you,” Alex muttered and nudged back to walk but he felt a tight grab on his foot and looked back to see Albert glaring at him while raising his head.

Alex squatted down and what followed after was.

SLAP!

“Do you think this is a play, you bastard? You dare to act before me after I cast a healing spell.”

SLAP!

“Did you take me as a fool?”

“Stop!”

“Stop!”

Albert’s miserable shriek echoed and he was beaten till blue back and his handsome face had swollen like big.

“Tell me, why did you act to be unconscious?”

“I thought if I wake up, you will toy with me and torture me,” Albert sobbed.

“Why didn’t you think of that when you challenged me?”

“I didn’t imagine that you would defeat me.”

Alex tried to calm down his anger and extended his hand.

“Give me.”

“What!” Albert asked with a surprised expression.

“Give the treasure you were talking about? Didn’t you say that you will give me a treasure after I defeat you?”

“I don’t have any treasure. I didn’t think that I would lose.”

“You….” Alex’s face became red with anger.

“Asshole.” Alex roared and punched the man.

BOOM!BOOM!BOOM!BOOM!

After beating him mercilessly, Albert who thought that it was finally over shrieked again as Alex healed him and went on to beat him to his heart’s content.

“Huff!”

Alex took deep and heavy breaths while staring at the man lying down.

“I have to knock some sense into him otherwise the heaven gift will be wasted on this **head,” Alex muttered and pulled the man over his shoulder, flying towards the city.

He could feel various auras approaching this place but they were just weaker ones so Alex didn’t find any difficulty to enter the city while hiding from them.

…

In the Inn.

The atmosphere was quite solemn and many were biting their lips due to nervousness.

Their day was ruined due to a previous incident to the point that there was a risk of being exposed and all of Alex’s plans may be wasted.

“Can Alex defeat him?” Catherine asked while staring at Riya.

“I am sure that Lord can defeat him,” Riya assured everyone.

“But that guy is on a different level. He is a bit special and a monster. I don’t know what a talented guy like him was doing here.” Riya spoke with a depressing expression.

She was feeling quite guilty. If she had talked with Alex, the situation might not have escalated to this point.

At that time Mordek, Aeon and Max returned.

“Is there anyone suspicious around us?” Christina asked.

They shook their heads.

“There doesn’t seem to be anyone on our trails. Harry and Max are still on patrol. His Majesty had taken that guy away and there seems to be movement on that side so they might be focusing to reach there.” Mordek answered.

At that time, the door was slightly open and Alex appeared with a man over his shoulder.

Alex’s hair had been dishevelled and his clothes had been torn in some places.

Everyone gasped in shock and horror seeing him but more than that they were surprised to see the man Alex was carrying.

From a glance, one can see that the man was beaten like a dog without any mercy to the point that he looked to be one step away from the door to death.

Alex dropped him down and ordered the men to take him.

“Majesty, did you just kidnap him,” Aeon asked with a surprised look.

Alex’s lips twitched uncontrollably.

He wondered why the hell he was seen as a kidnapper by his men.

“Just take him.”

Alex rotated his gaze towards Riya who shuddered a little.

“My Lord, please forgive me for my imprudence,” Riya spoke with a slight quivering tone.

Alex walked toward Riya and looked straight into her eyes who lowered her sight.

Alice, who was witnessing the scene, was struck with thunder.

‘Where is the coldness, where is that overbearingness? Sis, why did you become a meek and shy lady before Big Brother? It’s not if My brother will eat you?’

Alex raised Riya’s chin and seeing her expression burst into laughter and pulled her head into his chest and wrapped his arms around her waist.

“Hey, Riya, you don’t need to be sorry. It’s okay. I think we profited a lot.” Alex spoke with a smirk.

All those who heard his words knew about the profit he was talking about.

A new slave, and a superior quality breed on top of that.

Riya melted into Alex’s warmth and cuddled like an innocent child.

“My fierce tigress, you have the strength to even give me a hell of a run so why are you always frightened before me?” Alex joked.

“I don’t know My Lord. I just lost my confidence before you.”

“Hmm! In that case, we should have special training.” Alex grinned.

Cough…Cough…

Alex’s ears perked up.

Both he and Riya realised the situation, and both of them separated quickly.

“Can you save this later?” Catherine glared at Alex.

“You don’t need to be jealous Cath, we can also undergo a special training session.”

“Cut the crap!” Catherine shouted.

Although she can’t say that she was a bit flustered seeing Alex’s lovey-dovey.

“Riya had brought some important information.”

Alex’s playful expression suddenly turned serious on hearing Catherine words.
