Chapter 295: Love?
After some more thought, Alex realized MingYue's idea was not that bad.
As long as he could make sure a path to become stronger exists for everyone without caring about their background or talent.

'I should be able to make that way with the VR game I have in mind. It's like another life where people can change their appearance and name, gain the knowledge and skills necessary to fight it out.
As when they die, they could be revived. As long as I put some safe zones, the rest should be alright.'
Seeing Alex back in a daze made MingYue chuckle.
"We already reached your car. Do you want to keep in your mind and let me drive? Just point me the way."
"You can drive a car already?"
"Of course. How long do you think a cultivator needs to learn to drive a car?" MingYue said with a chuckle.
"No need, let me drive. The idea is for something far away anyway, not like I have a way to achieve it for now."
"Why not try to test it out on those sovereigns? We need to make sure of their personality. The data from Vesa only shows their strength and history."
"I will think about it. We can maybe do it in their inner world without them realizing." Alex said as he entered the car.
MingYue followed and replied, "Too complicated, Alex. They don't know about VR.
Just put them inside, and they wouldn't realize it's not reality. And don't forget they are vampires, not easily killed."
"That would be great. So far, Vesa told us there is nothing wrong with them, but who knows how good Gluttony's method was. I will see what I can do."
Alex then ignited the engine and started driving toward the location.
MingYue opened the car roof, letting the wind blow through her face. She let out a small smile, then closed her eyes.
"You like feeling the wind through your face?"
"Yes, somehow it feels liberating. All the suffocation and pressure in life just disappeared."
Alex focused on the road as he raised the car's speed. They were on the highway now and going outside the city.
With MingYue's capability, he was not worried something would happen to her. Even at top speed, the wind would just feel like a breeze to her.
"With my ability, I tend to overthink many things. This makes me feel very confused and stressed.
This could happen, that could happen, my mind constantly thinking of the future. Then that incident happened, blowing all the possibilities in my mind."
Alex sighed, then let out a bitter smile, "Isn't it hilarious? I am too worried, thinking others are lying to me, forgetting the possibility a dungeon break can happen.
Even though my own father is a guild master." MingYue opened her eyes. She looked toward Alex.
"That is not your fault. I could understand the reason for that."
She then turned her gaze back to the road.
"As a child, I also wanted to be dependent on someone. In your eyes, your father is strong and capable of doing anything.
That is why you didn't even consider the possibility. Deep in your mind, even if a dungeon break happened, your father would be able to take care of it."
"It's different. You have been a fighter since you were a child. If you were in my position, you would have done better."
"That is not by choice, Alex. Every child wishes to have someone there to protect them. I have seen pictures of your family. I could see how genuine the happiness was. It makes me feel envious."
"Don't worry, at some point, you will meet up with them again. Aren't your little brother and uncle there for you?"
"I don't know. Somehow I feel more scared to meet them. Who knows what the real truth is. In my mind, there is no reason that could justify what they did."
Alex sighed. He knew there were not a lot of things he could do for MingYue. It was something she needed to face someday.
"Just remember, you are not alone anymore. I think my sister also took a liking to you."
MingYue let out a chuckle, "Yeah, your sister has a way with people. By the way, have you talked with William? You said he met with the association president."
"I don't know what he offered him, but I already took precautions for what information he could leak out.
As for his agreement with that old fox, that will be his own choice. Honestly, I still feel guilty about what happened. I had the strength to stop it."
"We cannot be everywhere, Alex. But I could understand a bit. If something happened to MingHao, I would probably get angry too."
"I also lost my family, MingYue. I know every loss is unique to each person, but honestly, I think William's case is one of the worst.
He lost his loved one without ever giving her what she deserved. Roxy was always there for him, but he took it for granted. Only when she was lost did he realize it."
The atmosphere turned silent as the topic became heavy. After a while, Alex asked, "Do you think someday our relationship will be the same as William and Roxy's?"
MingYue's eyes flickered for a moment. Their relationship was already decided, but feelings were a whole different matter.
"I don't know, Alex, but with how much lifespan we have, maybe at some point we will reach that stage.
I honestly also want to know just what it means to have that kind of emotion.
A love so strong that she doesn't hesitate to throw it away for the one she loved."
"Wouldn't you do the same for your brother and uncle?"
"If things come to shove, I will try my best to save them, but I honestly don't know if I could do it without any hesitation like Roxy."
MingYue knew the story in detail, as she felt curious about it.
"Love... don't get me wrong, but don't you think it's kind of stupid?"
