Primordial Soul's Rebirth

Chapter 239: CHAPTER 239 – Taking care of the aftermath.

A vote will be going on for Aurora in the Auxiliary chapter.

Be sure to vote guys.

Her picture would be there in the comments, so you can take you time to decide it.

(Don't take too long though, I will be closing the voting in 2 days!)

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

Luna, who was looking at everyone's reaction, didn't take time to guess what Alice must be thinking.

Alice was looking down with her fists clenched, it either meant that she was trying to control her anger or regretting something very much.

The former can't be true for this situation, which means the latter is what's happening.

"Quit the self-blaming thoughts and listen to what I have to say."

Luna stared at Alice and commented.

Alice looked up at Luna, and although she was annoyed by Luna's bossy tone, she nodded her head.

Ann also transferred all of her attention to what Luna was about to say.

"Call for as many healers you can ask them to heal even the smallest scratch anyone here has, ask them to heal any problem any one of these people has, even if it was not caused by us."

Luna paused here, letting Ann note everything down, and when she saw Ann and Alice nodding their heads, she continued.

"Compensate all of them for their losses, be it small damage or large, compensate them.

It would be better to give them some extra money, don't be stingy here, you guys from Crimson Lotus have a lot of money.

Heck, money is like a never-ending stream for you guys, so don't hold back."

Luna paused again, letting Ann note it down.

Ann and Alice didn't even try to deny Luna's statement about them having a never-ending stream of money, because it was true.

Alice and Alex alone could get so much money that a whole country could survive on that money.

Not to mention that they could earn more, after all, to date, neither Alice nor Alex had ever done advertisement and promotion.

If they did, then the fortune they have would only increase.

"The staff you call must be the patient bunch, we don't want people with anger issues talking to a bunch of raging people trying to calm them down, that would make things bad.

Having a bunch of mad mobs spreading the word that first their family member/s was/ were killed and then they were treated unjustly by your employees is not something that would be good in this situation.

They will be mad, super mad, maybe in despair, so you can't expect anything less, after all, some of them did lose their family member here, so try to solve things calmly no matter how hyper the public gets.

Everything in this world has a price."

Luna added seriously after she saw Ann nod her head.

But when she paused, she could see Alice clenching her fists again.

'Sigh…

You can't be soft in a world like this Alice.'

Luna knew that Alice was regretting her impulsive actions and was blaming herself for it, but the world was a dog-eat-dog world.

If you did something wrong, trying to make it up is the best you could do, you can never go back, not even when the world was normal.

Alice was sad about the fact that many people died because of her, but what made her more dejected was the fact that she could've saved them, if, just if she thought a bit more about her actions and their consequences.

Alice was not as naïve as before, even before she was not that naïve, but here, she was not being naïve.

She was just regretting her actions, because if this continued, then maybe later, when she was much stronger than she is right now, her carelessness would cause a problem so big that she wouldn't be able to solve it no matter how much money she threw at it.

'This can't go on like this!'

Luna just couldn't see this gloomy atmosphere surrounding Alice.

'That's not who Alice is.'

Luna walked toward Alice and held her shoulder, forcing Alice to look into her eyes which were filled with seriousness.

"I know you're thinking things like, 'I could've done better' and all, but you know, sometimes…."

Luna paused, and then she smiled lightly as she continued to look into Alice's eyes before she added.

"Sometimes you just need to take it easy. You can't always control everything Alice, that's why you should rely on others a bit more.

You have many people you could rely on here."

Luna said as she looked at Ann and the others.

Alice was a bit lost after she heard Luna's words, then she looked at everyone in the group and saw all of them smiling at her.

Alice realized that none of them were blaming her, it was just her who was thinking too much.

Yeah, she did something that harmed the others, but she did save the people that mattered to her.

The assassin squad might not be that close to her, but they were still like playmates, they lived together for three months after all.

One can't stay distant from someone even after 3 months of living together, so everyone here meant something in her life, and they were safe, so what others thought didn't matter.

But Alice was not going to let Luna teach her how things worked.

Yeah, Luna's words made her realize things, but would she ever accept it?

Nope.

No matter how much she cared about Luna, in the end, Luna was the most annoying person for her.

"Says the one who almost got killed if not for me."

Alice just snorted at Luna's words, saying that she should reply to Luna.

This time Luna didn't fight back, she let Alice be.

'It's good to have you back.'

She just smiled inwardly.

"Then? What should we do after compensating them all?"

Ann who was happy with all these changes just smiled before she came back to the topic.

"Well, when it is all said and done, reveal your identity."

Luna shrugged.

"Reveal our identities? Wouldn't it be already revealed if we bring in healers of our guild?"

Ann questioned in confusion.

"Then just don't bring the healers from Crimson Lotus, hire some good healers and let them do the job.

Revealing your real identity in the end would be better since by then, every person here would've calmed down, and stuffed with the 'compensation' they received.

Then all you have to do is tell them what happened.

Tell them that you, Alice, one of the saviors of theirs was attacked in broad daylight, and the preparator had thoughts of killing you.

You did what was the best and if you didn't, then the destruction would've been many folds higher than right now."

Luna explained her plan while nodding repeatedly, as if proud of herself.

"What good would it do?"

Alice asked with a frown.

She understood the need to compensate and all, but what would this do?

"Heh, Alice, you're underestimating your image a bit too much, you just need to tell them who the ones that attacked you were, then see the magic…."

Luna spoke mysteriously.

Luna knew that after Alex heard what happened today, he would be after the mysterious group seriously since they decided to make a move, and unlike before, now he wouldn't just sit still.

So, Luna was thinking of helping him.

'Maybe I'll get some brownie points, as well…'

Luna giggled inwardly.

'What's she planning?'

Alice didn't like the glee she could see clearly in Luna's eyes, and neither did she like the air of mystery that Luna was trying to maintain, but she decided to let it go for now.

All of them had gone through a lot today, so she decided to call it a day.

"All right, we'll do it, now let's go back."

Alice nodded toward Ann, who nodded back before she gestured for everyone to go back.

Everyone in the group nodded their heads, gave a last look at the surroundings, and walked away, ignoring some death glares they were receiving.
