Chapter 135: CHAPTER 135 – Nothing special?!?!
Chapter 135: CHAPTER 135 – Nothing special?!?!
Alex had used his domain or zone for the second time since he got it.
He could've just made a vacuum around the explosion by sucking the air out of a particular spot, but he thought that using the domain was easier, so he did it.
The feeling of something wash over them that everyone near Alex felt was the expansion of Alex's domain.
With his power limited to SS rank, he couldn't expand it much, only a 5-meter radius, but that was enough to cover all of them as they were standing quite close.
The explosion that was about to happen paused as it was.
The blast that was supposed to make a large explosion was now a ball of paused explosion in Alex's hand.
It was like Alex was holding a model of an exploding planet in his hand as the explosion was paused before it could blast completely.
The blast was around the size of a football when it froze.
Right now, Alex had that football-sized explosion floating right above his hand.
The explosion was bubbling and moving around, but it didn't try to expand, it stayed floating above Alex's hand like a tame pet.
This was seen by Max, Damien, Alice, and Ann, resulting them in opening their eyes wide in shock.
'That's an explosion that could blow an S-ranker into bits, for fucks sake!'
This is what they wanted to scream but they kept looking as Alex started balling up his palm and the explosion that was floating above it also started to shrink along with it.
From the size of a football to the size of a handball, then to a cricket ball, then a tennis ball, then into the size of a marble, then it continued getting smaller until it finally disappeared altogether.
Just as the ball of explosion disappeared, the feeling of many things being under someone else's control also vanished.
'Phew….' X2
Both Damien and Max sighed in relief, after all, no one likes to be under someone's control.
"What was that?!" Alice exclaimed just as Alex deactivated his Domain.
*Crash*
Alex let go of the trolly he was holding up in the air which caused it to crash onto the floor.
"I couldn't control my fire at all!" Alice spoke in a shocked voice but then her hand was held by Ann who gestured Alice toward Max and Damien with her eyes.
'Ah…' Alice realized her mistake, she turned towards Alex to say something only to find him looking at her with a smile that said, 'It's all right'.
Alice just lowered her head with a small smile on her face.
Max and Damien didn't look at any of that, they had their focus on what Alex was going to say.
They had the same question as Alice, but they couldn't ask that question.
However, they did realize one thing: Even Alice didn't know what it was.
That was something that shocked them.
'Isn't she the guild master? Shouldn't she know everything about her guild members' ability, that too if it's this strong?'
They didn't voice it out, but Alex became a very mysterious person in their minds now.
"It's nothing special, just a skill of mine," Alex just waved his as he spoke relaxedly while moving toward his seat.
'Nothing special?!?! What the fuck?!?!' X2
Damien and Max exclaimed in their minds while sighing.
It was their fault for getting their hopes up that Alex was going to reveal his abilities that even Alice didn't know of in front of them.
Alice and Ann just giggled inwardly as they saw Max and Damien's reaction.
'Is that how I used to react before as well….?' X2
Both of them wondered but they quickly shook their heads as they couldn't imagine themselves reacting like that.
Alex who sat on his seat ignored the reaction of the people around him as he took out a golden pen from the upper pocket of the coat he was wearing.
Then he picked up a napkin placed on the table and started writing something on it.
This action attracted the attention of everyone in the room and Ann who was sitting right beside Alex raised her as she saw what he was writing before she shrugged.
"What is it?" Alice asked Ann in a low whisper.
"You'll know in a while," Ann replied mysteriously.
"Don't," Alice directly spoke with a cringed face.
"...What?" Ann asked with a long pause, but a rosy blush could be seen on her face.
"One Alex is enough, please," Alice requested.
Ann just looked away to hide her face as she nodded her head.
Max and Damien who saw Alex, Alice, and Ann busy with their own things exchanged a glance before they nodded at each other.
"I'll go bring Grace and Lily back here," Max spoke and Damien nodded his head.
"I will be going as well, need to take care of the traitor along with getting some information out of him," Damien nodded his head as well and moved away before giving a last glance to Alex.
Damien still remembers Alex's comment earlier, but he is not that much of a bad guy to point it out even now.
He is arrogant, sure, but only where he could show arrogance, and none of the people here were someone he could show his arrogance to.
"Just keep him alive, I will do the questioning," Max spoke as his eyes turned cold.
Damien looked into Max's eyes and then nodded his head before moving away.
"I will be back with Lily and Grace, also, sorry for all the inconvenience you had to go through because of me, I didn't think that we would be targeted even with so many raiders out there."
Max then turned toward Alice as he bowed his head a bit.
"No one's harmed and we are fine as well, so don't worry, but take Alex's advice to your heart," Alice nodded as she reminded Max of Alex's advice earlier.
"I will," Max spoke as he looked at Alex.
'Just how much more debt are you going to put me in?' He sighed with a smile before he walked away.
He didn't disturb Alex as he could see that Alex was busy with whatever he was doing.
Just as Max left the place leaving Alice, Ann, and Alex alone, Alice and Ann's faces turned serious.
"That black clothing that was covering the explosive earlier...." Ann didn't complete her words as she saw Alex nodding.
Alex was done with whatever he was writing so he looked up and spoke.
"Yes, it was the same clothes used by the mysterious group that attacked the auction house."
Alex completed Ann's words.
Alice and Ann's expressions turned more serious as their doubts were confirmed.
