Chapter 157 Back at the Village
Alex stood up and looked at the three members of Leonel family.
He said, "Mr. Borong, Miss Paula, and Miss Azul, thank you for the hospitality that you've shown us. It's about time we leave now."
Hearing that, Paula stood up as well and said, "Oh, you're leaving already? Don't you guys want to stay here for today?"
Alex shook his head, "Thank you for the offer but that would be inappropriate. Also, we're hurrying on this journey so we have to leave now."
"Is that so?" Said Azul, "Then it can't be helped. Please take care on your way. Visit us again when you have the time."
Alex smiled and nodded, "We will try to visit again next time. I want to taste that incredible food that Paula cooks after all."
Hearing that, Paula and Azul smiled.
At this time, Borong, who's still feeling weak, forced his body to stand up with hardship.
Hurriedly, Azul and Paula supported him.
"Dad, don't push yourself."
Borong waved his hand to stop them from speaking before turning his eyes to Alex.
Borong looked at Alex with a solemn face and with a rough voice, he said, "Mr. Zero, as my savior, if the time comes that you ever need my help, do not ever hesitate to ask me, I will come."
Hearing that, Alex nodded seriously, "I will, thank you, Mr. Borong."
Borong patted Alex on the shoulder before putting down his hand.
They said a few more things before Alex turned around and exited the hut along with Angelica and her brothers.
Outside the hut.
At this time, Ferri and Blaze are still reminiscing about the taste of the dragon meat that was fed to them earlier.
But when the door of the hut opened, the look on the faces of the two immediately became serious and acted like they are guarding the place.
Borong and his two daughters also followed until the door and watched Alex and his group leave.
While walking away, Alex was waving at them with a smile on his face.
Azul and Paula also waved back at him until he disappeared from their sight.
When Alex and his group can no longer be seen, Azul and Paula slowly put down their hands.
Sighing, Paula said, "Too bad, they have to leave already."
"Yeah, I thought they could stay for a while here with us." Seconded Azul, sighing as well.
Hearing their words, Borong just stared in the direction where Alex left for a few seconds before turning around and heading back inside the house.
Azul and Paula looked at each other with questions in their eyes and hurriedly followed Borong.
…
Alex, Blaze, and Ferri walked out of the forest with unhurried steps.
As for the kids, they are already sitting on Ferri's back while looking at the surrounding views.
While walking, Alex chatted with them to pass the time until they finally arrived back at the giant boulder from before.
After exiting the forest, Alex looked back and muttered, "I should come again next time. Then I should invite Paula to cook at Lucky Restaurant."
Alex imagined it and how popular the restaurant would become if it happens.
Subconsciously, the corner of his lips rose up.
A few seconds later, Alex shook his head and got rid of those thoughts.
"I should stop thinking of this. I still have to hurry up and finish everything here in the Alter Dimension."
"I really need to come back to Earth already because of school and other matters."
With that thought in mind, Alex started moving faster.
Since they are already out of the city, Alex doesn't plan to go back again.
Alex and his group just continued on their way towards Kupido Town.
Honestly, the journey was boring and uneventful.
The only source of entertainment were the monsters that come out from time to time only to get exterminated by either Ferri or Blaze.
As for Alex, he didn't really bother with them.
But from time to time, Alex also threw some magic spells at those monsters.
This way, Alex is still increasing his luck points in a leisurely manner.
After another day of traveling, Alex and his team managed to arrive at Bato village.
When Alex entered the village, it immediately alerted everyone because of the two monsters following him.
The village hunters were the first that reacted and rushed at the village entrance.
They have serious faces and seem ready to go through a deadly fight when they arrive at the village entrance.
But when they saw Alex, their faces and a delighted expression covered their faces.
Without hesitation, one of them started shouting.
"The savior has come, our savior is in our village!"
When the other villagers heard that, everything went still for a second before everyone's doors and window opened at the same time.
Boom!
"Ahh! Savior, you're here!"
"The savior really came!"
"Savior!"
…
Everyone came out of their houses and talked to Alex with excitement.
The look on their faces are similar to those people who meet their favorite idol/artist in person after only staring at them on the screen in the past.
Anyway, they are like those 'zombies' in Alex's opinion.
But seeing the delighted smile on their faces that shows how glad they are to see him, Alex can't help but also become happy.
Alex put on a gentle smile on his face and waved at them.
"Hello, everyone!"
When the villagers saw that, they were stunned for a moment before they became more excited.
In the past, when Alex first came to this village, he had a strong killing intent surrounding him because he just caused a slaughter at that time.
That's why, back then, the villagers honestly felt fearful of Alex.
At the same time, they viewed him as a cold person who never smiles.
But because of their gratitude to him, everyone's attitude today was amiable and they all came out to greet him.
However, never in their imagination did they think that Alex would actually talk to them with a smile!
This is the reason why everyone can't help but become more excited.
Anyway, everyone tried to talk to Alex and it started to become a bit overwhelming.
Thankfully, the village head also arrived at this time.
"Ah! Savior, it's really you. What brings you here in our humble village, Savior."
Said the village head as he approached.
Alex turned his eyes at the village head and greeted, "Hey there, village head!'
At the same time, the villagers around them quieted down.
Looking at Alex with a smile, the village head humbly said, "Tell me, savior, what can we do for you?"
In response, Alex said, "Village head, we are on our way back to Kupido Town right now. But since it's already dark and we saw the village, I decided that we should rest here."
Alex looked at the village head's eyes and asked, "Can we rest here for the night?"
surrounding villagers and said,
"Everyone, you should have heard that our savior is going to rest in The village head's eyes brightened after hearing Alex's words.
Without hesitation, he enthusiastically replied, "Of course, savior, you can rest here!"
"After all, if it wasn't for you, our village wouldn't even be here now anymore."
After saying that, the village head turned around, looked at the surrounding villagers and said,
"Everyone, you should have heard that our savior is going to rest in our humble village today."
"As the host, we should prepare and let our distinguished guests have a great stay while he's in our village."
"That's why, I hereby declare that tonight, we will have a big banquet!"
Hearing that, the villagers immediately ñet out some wild cheers.
"Woohoo!!"
Seeing all this, Alex hurriedly approached the village head and said, "Village head, you don't have to do this."
"We are only going to stay for the night, you don't have to throw such an event just because of us!"
At his words, the village head shook his head and looked at him.
"Savior, last time when you saved us, we weren't even able to prepare you anything to show our gratitude to you for helping us."
"Everyone can't help but feel bad about it because we weren't even able to show proper hospitality to you."
Saying that, the village head suddenly smiled and continued,
"But since you came here at this time and even plan to stay for the night, we can't just let this chance pass by."
"Tonight, we will show you just how our village treats our distinguished guests!"
Alex stared at the village head for a while before letting out a sigh.
From the light that Alex can see in the village head and other villager's eyes, he's pretty sure that there's no use stopping them.
Then in his head, Alex thought, 'Well, since I can't stop it, I might as well just enjoy it!'
Raising his head, a big smile is now plastered on Alex's face as he said,
"Alright, if that's the case, let's start the party!"
And so, Alex called the kids down from Ferri's back and entered the village.
