842 [Bonus Chapter] Chapter 816
Alex, leaning against the door outside quietly listening to Incursio's story, he couldn't help but smile when he heard her last sentence.
Nothing was surprising that Incursio noticed his presence; weak as she might have become, it was not to the extent that she would be unable to feel his presence, especially when he didn't bother hiding it.
'So, there was a story like that. I'm glad Zero got killed; if not, he might become a bigger calamity in the future. Now, I should think about using this girl and whether or not I should kill her to avoid trouble. I will wait in the future.'
[That won't do, Alex; you can't kill her. She will be an important tool for your use ]
Suddenly, a voice rang out; it came from the depth of his soul. Alex almost jumped back but stopped after hearing Silveria's explanation.
?You don't have to be afraid; that girl you encountered in Exodus, the one that was used as a vessel, she left a part of her soul in your body as a parting gift and another one inside that girl's body (I just noticed that when you use erase on her) The reason why I haven't erased her it was because I feel no danger from her and because if I had done that you will miss the big gift she left behind.?
Alex nodded while heading toward the dining room.
'Do continue.' He said to Eileen's soul, and she continued.
[I left a parting gift inside your bodies. This gift will activate once a certain continue is met. For her, it was to be weakened for the curse of loyalty to start working, while for you, it was to send your energy inside her.]
From Eileen's explanation, Alex understood that the first condition must have been met when Incursio suffered severe injuries while fleeing. In contrast, the second condition happened after he cured her with Erase. Silveria's bullet was created from his mana, mana coming from his body was like his energy entering Incursio's body through that bullet.
? Eileen's voice became fainter, and Alex believed it must be time for her to disappear.
[You don't have to worry; that girl won't betray you. On the contrary, she'll move with your interest in mind. The ultimate goal of this curse is to make the one that bears the curse willingly sacrifice themselves for you. The first effect of this curse is to make the other party try to gain your favor. She has become yours the moment the curse is activated, and she will never break free from this curse. Goodbye, and I hope my gift is to your liking.]
At the end of those words, Eileen's presence completely vanished, and Alex sighed.
''They say the most saints are the deadliest. O guess this is right.''
Who would have thought that the gentle Eileen, that was like Saint, would do something like this? It was surprising. Alex was not a fool to immediately believe what she said, even though some of the things she mentioned coincided with Incursio's behaviors. As he said, he would watch for now and decide what to do in the future.
Alex arrived in the dining room and waited for Sera and Incursio to come, and he didn't have to wait for long before they came.
After taking seats, they started eating. Incursio was swallowing food as though she had been starving for a month.
Alex and Sera were left speechless, their mouths agape, watching Incursio eat more than half of the food. After twenty minutes, she stopped, satisfied.
''Burp! What a feast. Delicious food, by the way. I've never eaten something so delicious before. I may become addicted; you won't mind me coming over from time to time to eat this delicious food. You won't be so heartless to refuse, right?"
Facing Incursio's unexpected demand, Alex's face twitched a couple of times while Sera's jaw almost hit the floor. Today she felt like she had experienced too many surprises.
Alex massaged his throbbing temple. At first, he wanted to refuse but recalled Eileen's words. He decided to grant her this small wish, and who knows what might happen.
''Okay, feel free to come whenever you want. The maids will prepare food for you.'' He said.
''That's good to know. Thanks, but I will be more grateful if you could also give me a free pass for your restaurants; I heard they also serve delicious food there.''
It's like the saying: Give them an inch, and they will want the whole thing. Incursio immediately added another request after Alex accepted her first request.
''It's good to dream. You can eat for free here, but if you go to my restaurants, you pay for what you eat. I'm not your sugar daddy.'' Alex flatly refused her second request.
Incursio grumbled. She had expected this, but there was something she was curious about.
''What is a sugar daddy? Does it taste good?"
Incursio asked with her head tilted to the side; this gesture made her question more innocent.
''Pft! Hahahaha! Please stop Incursio, or else I'll faint from laughing. Does a sugar daddy taste good, she asks? Pft! Hahahaha, of course, it does.'' Sera held her belly and laughed to her heart's content.
Incursio's question was too fun not to laugh because of it; even Silveria was laughing, especially after what happened next.
?Alex, tell me, what is a sugar daddy??Unexpectedly, Nyx, out of everyone, was curious about that word as well. This made Silveria laugh even more, and Alex chose silence.
''Stop fooling around, and let's begin.'' Alex glared at Incursio; he knew she didn't know what his words meant after seeing her reaction, but he would not explain himself because if he were to do that, Nyx would learn the meaning of that word and who knows, she might be corrupted.
''Tch! You are no fun, but I will find the answer on my own.'' Incursio grumbled.
''Suit yourself,'' Alex replied and crossed his arms.
Incursio knew she better start talking because Alex was reaching his patience; however, the following words she uttered didn't help much.
''Let's me say this beforehand, but I do not know where the headquarters is.''
