Alter Dimension: Lucky Dungeon Master

Chapter 167  Farewell

Alex stood up and looked at the three members of Leonel family.

He said, "Mr. Borong, Miss Paula, and Miss Azul, thank you for the hospitality that you've shown us. It's about time we leave now."

Hearing that, Paula stood up as well and said, "Oh, you're leaving already? Don't you guys want to stay here for today?"

Alex shook his head, "Thank you for the offer but that would be inappropriate. Also, we're hurrying on this journey so we have to leave now."

"Is that so?" Said Azul, "Then it can't be helped. Please take care on your way. Visit us again when you have the time."

Alex smiled and nodded, "We will try to visit again next time. I want to taste that incredible food that Paula cooks after all."

Hearing that, Paula and Azul smiled.

At this time, Borong, who's still feeling weak, forced his body to stand up with hardship.

Hurriedly, Azul and Paula supported him.

"Dad, don't push yourself."

Borong waved his hand to stop them from speaking before turning his eyes to Alex.

Borong looked at Alex with a solemn face and with a rough voice, he said, "Mr. Zero, as my savior, if the time comes that you ever need my help, do not ever hesitate to ask me, I will come."

Hearing that, Alex nodded seriously, "I will, thank you, Mr. Borong."

Borong patted Alex on the shoulder before putting down his hand.

They said a few more things before Alex turned around and exited the hut along with Angelica and her brothers.

Outside the hut.

At this time, Ferri and Blaze are still reminiscing about the taste of the dragon meat that was fed to them earlier.

But when the door of the hut opened, the look on the faces of the two immediately became serious and acted like they are guarding the place.

Borong and his two daughters also followed until the door and watched Alex and his group leave.

While walking away, Alex was waving at them with a smile on his face.

Azul and Paula also waved back at him until he disappeared from their sight.

When Alex and his group can no longer be seen, Azul and Paula slowly put down their hands.

Sighing, Paula said, "Too bad, they have to leave already."

"Yeah, I thought they could stay for a while here with us." Seconded Azul, sighing as well.

"How are you feeling now?"

At Alex's question, Borong smiled, "I'm still feeling weak right now. But this is just temporary. I will get better after a few days."

Borong stretched out his hand and placed it on Alex's shoulder and said, "Really, I can't express my gratitude to you with just words."

Azul and Paula also looked at Alex with eyes filled with gratitude.

This time, Alex just accepted their words without saying anything.

After a while, Borong retracted his hands and said, "Since it can be said that you gave me a second life, I will of course reward you well for that."

Immediately, an expectantly look appeared in Alex's eyes.

Borong snapped his finger and a green colored item the size of a fist appeared in his hand.

A strong fruity and refreshing scent bombarded the place they were in the moment that item appeared.

Sniff~

Involuntarily, Alex took a deep breath to smell it more.

It wasn't just Alex who's like that.

Everyone in the room can't help but take in a few more breaths because of it.

Not bothered by their reactions, Borong said,

"At the moment, this is the most valuable item that I have in me. As thanks for saving me, I will give it to you now."

With a fascinated look, Alex eyed the fruit and asked, "Can you tell me what that is?"

Borong turned his eyes at the item in his hand and smiled, "This thing is called [Golden Apple]."

Hearing that, Alex tilted his head in confusion.

"[Golden Apple]? Why is it called golden when it's clearly green?"

At his words, Borong chuckled, "That was the same thought I had when I first got my hands on this thing."

"However, it didn't take long for me to learn why it is called that."

After saying that, Borong handed the [Golden Apple] to Alex.

"Anyway, you will know why it's called [Golden Apple] when you eat it."

Alex looked into the apple on his hand and thought, 'This thing is the most precious thing he has? He's not fooling me, right?'

Alex glanced at Borong and shook his head.

'Well, coming here has already brought me a lot of benefits. If this thing isn't really a good item, then it doesn't matter.'

With that mindset, Alex accepted the [Golden Apple] with a light heart.

"Then I will take it. Thank you, Mr. Borong."

After saying that, Alex threw the [Golden Apple] into his inventory.

Seeing that, Borong smiled and said, "This is just my token of appreciation, Mr. Zero. As for the real reward, I will give it to you after I fully recover."

Hearing that, of course, Alex is happy.

However, on the outside, Alex just keeps a calm look with a light smile.

"Then I'll thank you in advance for that as well."

After that, they chatted for a bit before Paula stood up and said, "Since Mr. Zero has come to our house even though it's far just to help our father, it's just right that we should treat you well."

"Please wait here for a bit, I will prepare some food made with dragon meat for everyone to eat!"

Saying that, Paula left and headed to the kitchen.

Alex can't help but get excited.

"Wow, I'm finally getting a taste of the dragon cuisine that I ate last time!"

Azul smiled at his words, "I'm glad you liked my sister's food."

"Since she was young, my sister already likes cooking, so I can say that she is really good at what she does."

From her words, Alex can feel how proud Azul is for her sister.

And from the looks on Borong's face, he also feels the same.

Alex can't help but look at this picture for a moment.

Then he thought, 'It looks like having a family is a great thing… huh.'

Alex fell into silence for a moment and Angelica noticed the sudden change in his mood.

Poking at him, she asked, "Brother Zero, why do you look sad?"

Alex turned to look at her and said, "Sad? Am I making a sad face right now?"

Saying that, Alex touched his face, as if trying to feel the expression he's making.

At this time, Azul and Borong have also turned their eyes at him with curious and concerned faces.

To answer his question, Angelica nodded and said, "Yes, Brother Zero."

As she said that, a hesitant look appeared on Angelica's face before she suddenly hugged him with her small hands.

Then she said, "I don't know why you're sad. But I remember when my mom was still alive, she said that hugs can get rid of the sad feeling."

"I hope your sadness goes away too with my hug, Brother Zero."

Alex was stunned, looking down at Angelica who's hugging him, Alex suddenly felt warm in his heart.

A smile gradually formed in his mouth and he touched Angelica's head, saying, "You're right, the sad feeling has indeed disappeared now. Thank you, Angelica!"

At the same time, Alex felt like he was able to take a glimpse at the childish side of Angelica.

Usually, Angelica tries to act mature and responsible as the eldest of all the kids.

However, right now, Alex saw that even though she tries to act like an adult, she's still a child at heart and mind.

The father and daughter, Borong and Azul also saw this scene and a warm smile crept up their faces.

After that, Alex, Borong, and Azul chatted for a while before Paula came back.

"I am back~!"

Paula's voice is powerful and energetic, obviously full of enthusiasm.

As she approached, she placed down a tray in her hand to the table in front of Alex and the others.

Everyone looked at the tray before Borong asked, "So, what did you prepare for us today, my daughter?"

Hearing his words, a proud smile appeared on Paula's face as she introduce.

"This dish is the one where I poured all my heart into making. As thanks to Mr. Zero for saving my father, I did the best that I could do with my current skills. "

"And here I present to you, my masterpiece!"

Paula removed the lid covering the food inside the tray and white smoke rose up.

Immediately, a savory aroma assaulted everyone's nose.

Sniff~

"Hmm~, this smells so good!"

Glurgh~

As if to agree, Borong's stomach sounded at this time.

Everyone looked at him and lively laughter echoed around the house.

After a while, they turned their attention back to the food on the table.

What they saw was a normal looking steak on the trays.
