150 Chapter 150: Meeting the president

“Remember what we do now is not for us, but for the entire family”

Silver’s last words to him before leaving the room kept echoing in his head. Alex wasn’t feeling nervous because he was going against a country, he felt a bit shaken by the possibility of failure and having to abandon everyone here.

Meow!

Little beast gazed at him intently. Alex wasn’t moved though, since the little cat can sense his emotions it wasn’t rare for things like this to happen.

Once again, after a long time, he wore the Gray camouflage trousers black boots with his signature plain long sleeve tight black shirt with his gloves on. His eyes fell on the nose mask he once wore in the battle between him and Akila roughly a year plus ago. Alex was going to reach for it but then the room door opened and Tracy walked in.

Alex wanted to speak but he didn’t know what to say or do. She approached him silently and just embraced him without saying a word. Her face planted on his chest as she pulled him in gently while inhaling his fragrance greedily.

“Trust me” Alex finally mustered enough strength to speak up.

His hand ran across Tracy’s back freely as he appreciated a thing slender figure.

“I know... I do but you should also know you are not into this alone... we are all here... You and Silver may want to carry the burden alone but it’s okay to let us help” Tracy said while looking into his eyes.

.....

She hated the fact that something big is about to happen and she didn’t know. Being unable to help Alex in times like this frustrates her more than she can explain.

“If you can help I would have told you... This is me also trying to keep you safe in case something goes wrong.... Just trust me and Silver... We are the absolutes after all” Alex chuckled at the last part but Tracy didn’t seem happy.

Alex didn’t seem to understand what she meant! She doesn’t want to be at the back all the time staring at them sheepishly while they do all the work. She wanted to be carried along and put to work but Alex also had a point. He wouldn’t hesitate to get her involved when necessary but in situations like this where she cannot help, Alex can’t do anything about it.

Adding her into the equation will only drag them down.

Alex left Tracy in the room and left with little beast standing on his head. This cute beast is one of his hidden trump cards and according to the Danite as his power rises so will the strength of the familiar.

Alex wasn’t too sure of how true the statement was but he didn’t bother with it either. When the time comes he will know for sure.

The problem right now is the second statement the Danite made. His bond with the familiar is meant to change something in him, allowing him to learn the techniques of their race but Alex hasn’t felt anything since then.

When practicing the third stage of the Demon-kin technique he clearly knew what he was doing and he felt the obvious changes happening to his body.

Alex reached the ground floor and in the living room was a man in a blue tuxedo and beside him was general Firestorm. There were no guards and no one else present except Silver.

Alex casually walked to the other couch and sat beside Silver while the strange man and General Firestorm sat together as well.

“You little rogue! You didn’t tell me you had such a secret” General Firestorm said with a stern look on his face.

“You didn’t ask” Alex replied casually while shrugging his shoulders. He didn’t seem to care much.

Alex expected a comeback from the general or at least a furious reaction but general Firestorm seemed relieved and looked at the man. It seemed like he was trying to prove his innocence to the man in a blue tuxedo.

“You are?” Alex asked the man in his casual tone void of emotions.

“Hahahaha! The rumors were true... The younger generation of the big four care so little that they don’t know their president” The president said in a jovial tone but Alex and Silver felt paralyzed as if they were struck by lightning.

The man seemed to be in his late fifties but he seemed relatively fit. He had blonde hair with bright blue eyes while giving off a very confident feeling that diminished the confidence of all those around him.

The duo expected to meet the president later on but not now! This explains why general Firestorm asked the weird question and looked relieved when Alex didn’t involve him in the matter.

“Cute” Alex was stunned but only for a moment.

He managed to hide his feelings perfectly well just like Silver and they both sat there as if nothing happened.

In the security room, Tracy and the others who were watching from the security cams were stunned. Someone just declared to be the president of the most powerful country in the world and your reply is cute?

Refusing to believe him makes even more sense than that!

“Hahahaha! You two! I am used to having people jump on their feet and look flustered when they realized my identity but you two are different... You are not patriotic citizens” The president laughed but his eyes were different. It was like that of the predator gazing at his prey.

“I apologize but we are not really the type to jump and scream like girls... you are the president... that’s nice and that’s it... I see no reason to act flustered around you... it has nothing to do with my dedication to this country” Silver said calmly but his eyes were the same as the president, leaving the president stunned.

All his life he has been the one using people and dumping them if necessary. That’s how he got to where he is now in an apocalyptic world. That’s why he is able to control the big four. Yet Silver gazed at him as if he was just another piece on the chessboard!

“Interesting” The president commended the duo and clapped. He was satisfied with the two of them.

Only people these daring would have the guts to break away from the big four!
