Primordial Soul's Rebirth

Chapter 168: CHAPTER 168 – Argon’s Situation.

"First of all, I am Alex Matthew, the one who lived in the orphanage with Alice."

Alex spoke as he observed Ann's expression, but Ann smiled and spoke.

"You finally decided to tell me that huh…"

Her words left Alex speechless for a while.

Alex knew perfectly well what her words meant.

"You knew about it?"

Alex asked in surprise.

"Duh..." Ann commented.

"How?" Alex asked with a curious expression.

He knew that it was not hard to find out and there were many ways to find out who he was, but he still wanted to know.

"Well, when I met you on the day we went for your raider's license, I thought that it was just a coincidence that your name and features were somewhat similar to the Alex from the orphanage since Alice told me that you were not him.

But then I did some research, no matter how good you looked and how trustworthy you felt, I still had to run a check on your background, after all, I can't let my friend's life be in danger just because I happen to have a crush on a suspicious person."

Ann spoke with a proud face.

"And guess what I found?"

Ann questioned with a smile.

"What?" Alex played along although he knew what would've happened.

"The guy that lived in that room looked exactly like the Alex from the orphanage until one day or night to be precise, he suddenly changed."

Ann looked into Alex's eyes as she spoke that.

"Ho? And?" Alex wanted her to continue.

"His demeanor, his looks, his style, everything changed.

It was like he had become an entirely different person, and Alice happened to go to meet that guy just after all of this happened."

Ann rested her forehead on Alex's chest as she continued.

"I don't know why you guys lied about it, or why you guys tried to hide it, so I let it be, but now that you have finally decided to talk to me about it…."

Ann looked back up into Alex's eyes.

"It makes me happy; it makes me feel like you finally trust me," Ann spoke with a smile, but that smile looked sad to Alex.

Alex cupped Ann's cheek in his palm and looked into her eyes.

"It was never about trust, Ann.

I just didn't get the right moment to tell you about it."

Alex stated truthfully.

He never really cared about anyone knowing about his past or skills.

What's the worst they could do?

Try capturing or kidnapping him?

That would just increase the number of people Alex had killed till now.

"Un, I am listening," Ann nodded her head.

Alex smiled and lightly pecked her lips, but Ann pressed and the kiss turned a bit deeper.

They kissed for a while before Alex started telling Ann about the things that he thought were important for her to know.

........................................

(Throne room inside the castle of the Blue Empire)

"Send a message that I will be entering that SS-ranked gate in two days, and add a line that I am not asking for their permission, I'm informing them."

Argon Hart, the emperor known for his intellect was sitting on the throne while asking a messenger to deliver a message that could very well cause a war.

"... As you wish, Your Majesty," The messenger bowed his head and spoke respectfully before he walked out of the hall, that guy knew his place, after all.

Argon didn't look like the majestic ruler he was, right now, he just looked like a man with too much going on his head.

It's been a while since he had been like this, and it all started on the day the press conference was held by the Crimson Lotus Guild.

That day he heard a piece of very shocking news from his subordinate.

The subordinate in question is the girl or lady with blue eyes who used to keep an eye on Alex and the group.

"I was discovered by Ann White."

The same subordinate spoke this.

The point is that this subordinate is supposed to be an SSS ranker, and if not for him having something that he could use against her, he would've already been killed by her.

But the main point was….

"How the hell did someone discover you?! Were you even using your ability??"

Even he himself had never been able to see through her ability to hide inside the space, but now she saying that Ann could notice her presence.

'Ann is not even supposed to go higher than S-rank….'

From what he remembered, Ann was supposed to die saving Alex's life and she was never able to lift her rank above S-rank.

So, how was she able to detect someone with one of the best hiding skills and power of SSS-rank?

There was only one answer…

"She is most likely an SSS ranker already."

It was Aurora who spoke about that, but Argon was not accepting it.

"That's not possible!"

'How is it possible for Ann to become an SSS ranker?'

'And if she is an SSS ranker, then what about Alice, and what about Alex….?'

Argon remembers perfectly well from his past life that Alex didn't like his women being stronger than him, so Alex was probably stronger than Ann.

From that day onwards, Argon started changing.

But his changes were not something positive.

He was trying to rise in power at a very fast rate.

He would use the resources of the empire without giving any thought to what the result would be.

Argon had already killed some people who tried to oppose him or tried to ask him what was happening.

Aurora and the other lady could see the changes and they could tell that Argon was not in his right mind anymore.

They couldn't be more to the point as Argon was not turning crazier day by day.

He could feel his end if he continued his path.

It was his bloodline or the bloodline he got from Aurora that was pointing him to leave the path he was following.

But he was not going to do that.

'I won't sit still till I kill Ale!'

This is all Argon wanted.

'I can't have Alice till that bastard is alive, after all.'

His main goal, to live a happy life with Alice would not be possible till Alex was alive, he knew that.

So, there was only one path for him, and he would follow through it no matter what the consequences might be.

"You know that the message you just wanted to be delivered might cause some friction between your empire and the Indigo Country, right?"

Aurora spoke after the messenger left the hall.

"I don't care," Argon replied dismissively before he got up and moved out of the hall himself.

"I just need that thing in there so that it can help me rank up."

Argon's last words were left in the hall for Aurora to hear as he walked away.

"What are you planning….?" Aurora muttered as she looked at the gate of the hall.

She knew that Argon was planning something, something big, but she didn't know what.

She couldn't read minds, after all.

Argon, on the other hand, clenched his fist as he walked in the corridor of his castle.

'Don't blame me for what I'm going to do Aurora.

You just happen to be the only thing that can help me, right now...'

Argon muttered inwardly.

'It's good that they didn't directly enter the gate and delayed the date by a week….'

He was thankful that Alex and the group didn't enter the gate right away since he could use this time to get himself in the gate before them or together with them.

'After I reach EX-rank, I will finally be able to set my plans to motion….'

Argon walked ahead as he went through his plans again.
