Chapter 224: CHAPTER 224 – Another guest.
For the past three months, Luna did whatever she could to get Alex's trust.
She tried showing him the things she was best at, she showed him the things she was worst at, she even told them her weaknesses, though it turned out that Alex already knew those, but still….

She had been trying everything.
Luna went ahead and mastered the dao of shamelessness as well.
She would use every chance she gets to beg for something from Alex.
Sometimes it would be a candy, sometimes it would be a drive home, sometimes it would be a pat on her head, and sometimes it would be things simple as walking 10 steps with her.
She just wanted to get close to Alex, because being close to him gave her a strange sense of relief.
So, when she finally got something that she wanted for so long, she couldn't control her happiness.
'Not the type of atmosphere I hoped for, but I'm happy….'
Luna muttered inwardly.
The atmosphere was a bit funny with Alice ready to click a picture of her the moment she looked up, while Alex was patting her and chuckling at the same time.
She had hoped for the moment to be a bit more romantic, but I guess not everything goes the way one wished it to.
However, no matter what she says or thinks, the bright smile on her face tells everything about her feelings.
*Ding**Dong*
But as if the gods above didn't like her getting some attention, the bell on the front door rang once.
Luna frowned as she felt the hand of her hand move away.
She wanted to strangle the person who rang the bell, but then a voice filled with interest was heard.
"Hoh? Who do we have here…...?"
Alex muttered as he looked at the front door.
He could clearly see who it was even without activating his All-seeing eyes.
Alice, Ann, Noctura, Luna, and the 4 girls who came running down when they heard the doorbell looked at Alex.
Alex, however, just looked at the front door and spoke.
"You can come in."
Alex spoke as he moved back and rested his body on the sofa.
Everyone looked at the gate, waiting for the gate to open, but it never opened.
"Why is it taking so long?"
One of the four girls muttered in a low voice, but with the pin-drop silence in the hall, her words were heard loud and clear.
Luna stared at the girl, causing her to shut her mouth and stand straight.
Then Luna turned toward Alex, but then she noticed something.
'What are they looking at….?'
Luna could see them looking toward her, but not actually her as they were looking at the empty space beside her.
Alice, Ann, and Noctura were looking at the same spot as Alex, who was right beside her, but unlike Alex's relaxed eyes, others were looking at that spot with sharp eyes.
*Grrrr…. *
Noctura was even letting out low growls as if warning something or someone.
"You came to my house unannounced and now you're using your skill in my house, are you trying to pick a fight?"
Alex asked as he relaxed his body on the sofa, but the one to who the question was asked was now sweating bullets.
Alex didn't have his power suppressed and in 3 months, he was already Peak Legendary 3, just a push away from Mythical, so the power he packed in his body had now increased by many folds.
What would happen if an SSS-ranker were to be pressured by the mana of a Legendary ranker?
They would die even before they could process what happened, but Alex was not actually putting much pressure on that said person.
He knew that they were an SSS-ranked raider, and he knew that they would die the moment he put a bit of pressure on them.
So, what he did was release a bit of his bloodlust.
The number of monsters he had killed was too much even to count, so his bloodlust or killing intent was getting honed along the way.
Now, although his blood lust won't amount to much in front of a professional assassin like the one before him, it was a different story if he added demonic energy to the same bloodlust.
'Demonic energy!'
The person sitting beside Luna exclaimed inwardly before they quickly revealed themself.
"I am sorry."
A cold yet apologetic voice was heard from just beside Luna.
The space beside Luna distorted and the figure that Alex, Alice, Ann, and Noctura had been staring at finally revealed herself.
*Woosh* X4
But the next second, all four girls that were looking at this with wide eyes moved swiftly.
*Sling* X4
The sound of weapons being drawn was heard and in the blink of an eye, the four girls now had their blades surrounding the neck of the person that was slowly becoming visible.
They were not allowed to use their skills in this house, but they could still use their weapons.
The lady who had the blades around her neck, on the other hand, didn't even try to defend herself, nor did she panic.
'Oh?'
This caused Alex to raise a brow.
It was rare to see someone this calm even with four blades on their neck.
"You were about to die you know…"
Alex smiled as he looked at the lady whose body was now visible as the space distortion had vanished from her body while her face was slowly getting clearer as the space distortion was being healed.
"I had a feeling that you won't let me die…. yet."
A calm and cold voice was heard again as the pink lips of the lady were now visible.
Her last word was just a low murmur, but it was still audible.
"Oh? Why do you think so?"
Alex questioned curiously.
Alice, Ann, and Noctura, however, still looked at the lady cautiously.
Luna had a frown on her face, but she also stared at the lady who was now almost out of the space distortion.
"If you wanted me to die, then I would've died long ago…"
The lady spoke and for the first time, a smile was seen on her pink lips as she shook her head.
Although it was not a happy smile but rather a wistful one, still since the corners of her lips were raised, it meant that she was smiling.
"Looks like you know that this trick of yours never worked on me."
Alex nodded his head repeatedly as he commented.
"It took me a while, but yes, I know that my skill is somehow useless in front of you…"
The lady nodded her head, and finally, the space distortion around her stopped and she became visible for all to see.
Alex, Alice, Ann, and Noctura didn't have much reaction, but Luna and the 4 girls had their eyes wide open.
*Clang*
One of the girl's grip on her dagger loosened, causing it to fall to the ground with a clang.
"W-who…."
She stammered as she pointed her finger at the lady's face.
