Modern Cultivation : The Strongest Couple Bonded by Vampire System

Chapter 149: You Are A Human?

Hearing their interaction, William squinted his eyes, placing his hand on his triple chin, many thoughts coming to his mind.

'This Alex has no background at all and doesn't even know how to use the contact car.

At first, I thought he was someone who lived with the Sentinel, never coming out to the city, but it seems there is something more to this.'

"Young master, are you sure you want to interfere with this? Don't you hate troublesome things?" Roxy asked, whispering to William.

"Because I hate troublesome things, I need to interfere with this, Roxy. Whatever the king is planning will disturb my lazy, comfortable life.

If he can stop it before it happens, that will be better than my other plan."

"So, that is why you told me to build that place in the middle of nowhere."

William replied with a small nod.

Alex, with his sharp hearing, could hear everything, but he didn't care about their discussion; he addressed William. "Forget it. It's better to just catch him by surprise. Where is he now?"

"Wait, let me check," William replied.

He then took out a card similar to the one Alex had given him before, but this one was filled with many crystals, with some letters near it. He started tapping over it, creating a few small holo-panels, then sent some messages outside.

After some time passed, William's face turned into a frown.

With a concerned tone, he said, "He is not in the palace right now. I suggest we should just wait for him at his place if you want to ambush him, or you can just arrange a meeting with him."

Alex clicked his tongue in annoyance. He wanted to quickly track the source, but directly making trouble in the palace was still out of the question for him.

"Let's wait at his place then; we might find some clues along the way."

"His place is guarded; are you just going to barge in there?" Lilly asked with a concerned tone.

Alex tilted his head in confusion. "And they will dare to block our path?" He pointed at his bangle. Since he had the authority, Alex wanted to utilize it.

'No wonder she failed to investigate her friend's circumstances,' Alex thought to himself, but he didn't say it out loud since it wasn't really his problem.

They then returned to the chariot and started moving toward Blaire's property.

On this journey, they moved using William's chariot so they could all travel in the same vehicle.

His was already modified to fit his body without any problem; it's not like Lily's chariot couldn't hold his weight, but it would make the space really cramped. He was just too big.

Along the way, Lily asked, "Can you explain what you plan to do now?"

Alex glanced sideways at William. In response, he raised both hands, then moved them to his lips, making a gesture that his lips were sealed.

"Don't worry, Sir Alex, I will bet my life you can trust my young master."

"Why would I need to bet your life for me, Roxy? I've already told you many times over I don't want you to act like this," William then sighed. "Let's talk about this later. I don't want to debate now. You can trust me, Sir Alex."

Alex's hand moved, taking out a contract from his storage ring. It was the one from Ming Yue's world, a slave contract. However, Alex modified the content.

He then added some more words using his qi and threw it in front of William and Roxy.

"Just call me Alex. In front of you is an agreement tied to your soul. Break it, and you are dead.

Words are easy, William. Now, prove your word.

I know you also have some goals; otherwise, you wouldn't have come with us here. This way, we can trust each other faster."

Lily, William, and Roxy looked at the paper Alex created with surprise. They had never seen it before, but feeling the energy coming out from the paper, they believed what Alex said.

While Roxy and William read the content, Lily asked, "Why don't you ask me to sign one too?"

"The Sentinel is the one that guaranteed you, so I don't need to ask you for one, at least for now," Alex replied.

"How do I sign it?" William asked after reading the content and finding nothing weird in it.

The contract stipulated that he must keep his lips sealed and not share any information that could endanger and compromise Alex.

In exchange for this, Alex would also not tell anyone about his involvement today. In case any party broke it, they would die. The one gifted to Roxy also has the same content.

"Just drip your blood onto it," Alex said with a smile.

Although the contract looked fair, in reality, it was skewed toward Alex. As the base for this was a slave contract, he could change the content as he wished without them knowing, and even without it, the death penalty wouldn't work on him with the level of strength the contract had.

William picked a knife from the cupboard in his chariot and then poked his thumb.

The moment the blood reached it, the contract shimmered with dim light and then turned into dust. William & Roxy could feel something locking into their souls.

William then asked, "Since we've already gone this far, can you tell me who you really are, Alex?"

Alex took off the bangle from his arm, finding it easier to just show rather than explain. The bony feline ears and tail on his body disappeared, making William and Roxy gasp in surprise.

"You are a human?" William asked in a panic. He regretted signing the agreement now.

Stories about humans have been told in their education system since they were kids. They all knew humans were the cause of their being locked in this place, and in every story, humans were portrayed as something bad and evil.

Lily was an exception because she interacted a lot with the Sentinel.
