Primordial Soul's Rebirth

Chapter 130: CHAPTER 130 – Meeting.

Lily Steele, the daughter of Maximus Steele and Grace Steele is known to be a cheerful and mischievous child.

She is naïve and knows less about the real world as she lives in the world of her own imagination, she looks at the world differently.

But her view changed and she herself changed after the gate break incident.

It was like her eyes had been opened, she could finally see the world.

The way the people ran without care for their own children, the way the same children got crushed underneath the feet of the crowd, she saw each and everything with her eyes wide open.

These things were too much for her naïve brain to process.

So, she became quiet for some time.

Max and Grace were sad when they saw this and they blamed themselves but soon, Lily started to turn normal.

How could they have known that Lily was changing every minute and her mentality was changing?

It started happening when the voice inside Lily's head spoke for the first time, if not for that then Lily would've been depressed and silent for who knows how long.

If before she was just a naïve child then now, she turned into a child that adapts to any kind of situation.

Max and Grace were happy with this change as they could tell that the smile Lily showed was not fake and she was really happy.

They were happy that the incident didn't leave any deep scar on Lily's mind.

Max blamed himself for keeping her sheltered from the reality of the world when Lily turned silent, after all, nowadays people train their children to be assassins, train them how to kill people, and train them how to defend themselves, but Max didn't even let Lily watch action movies, much less train her.

But he was happy that Lily turned out to be fine in the end, or he would've killed himself out of guilt.

Right now, Lily was sitting with her dad and mom, waiting for the person she wanted to meet so much to arrive, but….

'What is this feeling...?' Lily wondered.

She had been very excited about meeting Alex, but now that the time had arrived, she was feeling nervous, embarrassed, guilty, and many other emotions.

Many of them were emotions that she never felt before.

'I want to meet that big brother, but I'm nervous,' Lily muttered inwardly as she fidgeted on the spot.

Just then…

*Tap**Tap**Tap**Tap*....

The sounds of some footsteps were heard along with a voice.

"This way please," It was a polite male voice and it seemed to be showing the way to the guests they were waiting for.

Grace and Max straightened their backs, as they looked toward the direction of the entrance to the open compartment they were sitting in.

'I have to hide!' This was what Lily could think of the moment she heard those footsteps.

She clenched her small and delicate hands as she looked towards the gate.

'I don't want to! I will do what I want!' Lily shouted in her mind.

She didn't like how her body wanted her to do something that she didn't want to.

The next second, all of the complicated feelings she was having vanished like they were never there in the first place.

But just then the guests they had been waiting for arrived and Lily's eyes happened to meet Alex's.

Lily's eyes that met Alex's inadvertently looked away hurriedly.

'Why did I do that?' Lily didn't know why she did that.

But she did it instinctively.

'Hoh? This is new….' Alex raised a brow as he saw this.

"Thank you for making your time to meet us, Miss Alice, Mister Matthew, and Miss White."

Max stood up along with Grace and spoke with a smile.

Although he was a bit nervous as he had seen their power, he could tell that all three of them were either top-tier S-rankers or SS-rankers.

He was not just a random guy who would lose his momentum because of that.

He is someone with an SS-ranked subordinate and some S-ranked ones as well.

"You don't need to mention it, we wanted to visit this café once anyway," Alice spoke with a smile.

She was the guild master, with the highest authority among the three of them so she needed to be the one to answer, after all, Max was not just anyone.

Max was the hidden leader of the Violet Country, and every high-ranking guild master knew that, including Alice.

"I am still thankful to you guys," Max added with a smile after Alice completed her words.

"Why would that be?" Alice questioned with a confused look.

They had already decided to keep it hidden so that they knew that it was Max and his family that Alex had saved.

"We will talk about that, but please take a seat and enjoy some of this café's famous delicacies."

Max spoke and then clapped his hands twice.

*Clap**Clap*

A soft mallow tune music was played along with the change in the lighting.

The lighting which was light blue had now changed to a tangerine color, making the atmosphere relaxing, the music was just a plus to that atmosphere.

"Please," Max gestured to Alice, Alex, and Ann with one hand outstretched towards the seats adjacent to his, Grace's, and Lily's.

Alice, Ann, and Alex nodded with a smile as they moved towards the seat.

Grace kept stealing glances at Alex as the image of Alex standing bare-chested was still fresh in her mind, even after the night activities she had with her husband.

Lily just like Grace was stealing glances at Alex, but she was unable to look straight at him.

Alice, Ann, and Alex sat on the seats Max had gestured them to.

Alice was sitting adjacent to Max, Ann to Grace, while Alex sat adjacent to Lily, who still had her eyes on her shoes.

But this time her actions didn't go unnoticed by Grace and Max.

Grace and Max exchanged a look.

'What's wrong with, Lily?' Max just looked at Grace then gestured toward Lily with his eyes and thought inwardly.

'I don't know, let me ask,' But as if reading Max's mind, Grace nodded her head.

"Lily, baby, what's wrong?" Grace asked but Lily shook her head without saying anything.

Grace and Max were about to get worried by her abnormal behavior.

'Did the food here upset her stomach?'

'Does she have a fever?'

Many such questions were popping up in their minds, but just then a relaxed and curious voice was heard.

"Is this really the Lily Steele who is known for being naughty?" Alex asked as he rested his head on his palm.

"I am not naughty!!" Lily exclaimed as she looked right into Alex's eyes.

She was like a cat whose tail was stepped up on.

"That's what a naughty kid would say though..." Alex added with the corner of his lips raised up.

"I-I…." Lily didn't know what to say now.

Should she say, 'I am naughty?' Hell no.

Then should she say, 'I am not naughty?' She would be repeating the same mistake, so a big no again.

*Chuckle**Giggle*

Giggles and chuckles broke out as everyone saw Lily's face turning red after she realized that she was just being played with.

"Mommy!! Daddy!!"

Lily exclaimed as she saw her mom and dad who were supposed to be on her side, laughing at her misery.

"Hmph!" Lily folded her hands and looked away with a pout.

"All right, all right, we are sorry," Grace spoke as she looked at Max with a smile.

'She was just nervous….' They both sighed with a smile.

Lily, however, didn't realize that just after Alex spoke, she could look at him without a problem.

It was like his speaking to her, was a way of him giving Lily permission to look at him.

But we don't know for sure, so let's leave it as that.
