"Actually, I have a request."

"Ho?!" Alex squinted his eyes, wondering what kind of request he wanted.

Davi pondered for a moment and said, "I think I should start with this first. Do you know why we are interested in your martial arts that could change one's to a half-beast?"

Alex shook his head before throwing his speculation. "Is it related to your family? No, I should say that there is this beastly aura coming from all the members of the Ancient Blue Family."

"That is correct. What we are practicing is closely related to monsters… Mostly beast type monsters."

"!!!" Alex suddenly realized something after hearing this statement. That something was inside Davi, Rio, and Rena. He found out that there seemed to be another energy coming from them. It was hard to see earlier, especially since Alex was still clueless about it.

Now that he saw it again, he found the energy. If the Spiritual Energy had a golden color, the other one has lighter golden color. It was hard to see because the energy seemed to have been diluted several times.

"There are two different energies inside your body… And your son and daughter seem to have the same one, albeit a bit weaker… This kind of Spiritual Energy shouldn't exist in the human body because I can feel that this energy does not come from a human." Alex paused for a moment.

"!!!" Everyone in the room, except those from the Ancient Blue Family, gasped as they just heard something new.

"There is nothing wrong with our body though. The two energy simply can coexist in our body and function as a normal Spiritual Energy." Davi glanced at the others and said to Alex. "Since you have found out, would you mind going to another room to discuss this matter?"

This must be the Ancient Blue Family secret, and they didn't wish to disclose it to outsiders. It was different for Alex since they needed to tell him if they wanted him to help them. Hence, Alex decided to follow him. "Sure. But one of them still needs to accompany me. You can't expect me to trust you fully, right?"

"…" Davi thought for a moment and nodded. "I understand."

Alex took a glance at the others and pointed his finger at Viola. "Can you accompany me?"

He chose Viola because her mentor was Maxwell. At the very least, it should be fine to have her accompany him. Besides, he could also make them think that the Freedom Sect was someone under him.

Having no time to think, Viola agreed happily. It was proof that Alex trusted her more than anyone else here. Of course, Aileen would realize it, but later.

"Sure."

Davi then ordered his son and daughter. "Since this is the case, I would like to leave first with Alexander Sirius. If you don't mind, please enjoy our delicacy for the time being."

Davi opened the room and guided Alex to a room, a few rooms next to them, to ensure no one could listen to what they wanted to talk. Alex even added a Sound Insulation Array to let Davi talk.

"Thank you for your Sound Insulation Array." Davi nodded with a solemn expression.

"Let's cut to the chase. There should be another blood running in your vein. From my understanding, this came from a unique monster that has attained its human form and intelligence. Seeing how weak the current energy is, I believe it should be around one of your ancestors." Alex blurted everything out in a single breath.

"You are correct." Davi didn't know whether he should be happy or not. He had seen the report and observation from his own son, so this kind of thing surprised him and scared him at the same time. Alex was truly the apex of the younger generations in this era. "Our ancestor fell in love with a female lion who attained her human form."

"So, what is your request regarding this problem?" Alex narrowed his eyes.

"Our ancestors created a technique and sealed it in our holy land. They said, when the bloodline has become weak, we shall go there and retrieve the technique. I believe this is the time we should go." Davi nodded.

"I don't see any need for me to go there. You can simply send your own genius to get the technique." Alex shook his head.

"I know. Unfortunately, that place is restricted with so many arrays. In the last place, there are our ancestors will guarding it. The moment we try to get it, it will attack us and repel us. Besides, our strength will be limited to 2-Star Martial Saint…"

"2-Star Martial Saint?" A surprise appeared on his face, wondering how coincidence everything. However, he suddenly remembered that the Patriarch Selection for the Ancient Blue Family was to reach 2-Star Martial Saint and… "This is the reason behind your tradition?"

"As expected of you…" Davi admitted defeat once again to this young man. "We have been holding this tradition to prepare the younger generation to get the technique. Unfortunately, they have failed since my grandfather's generation. That's why I think it's better to have outside help. And you – who is the strongest among your peers – would be a perfect candidate. Now that the opportunity has arrived, I would like to request this from you."

"It seems only one person can enter there."

"Yes. With the setup of our tradition where only the strongest can become a Patriarch, we will have the new Patriarch to get there. My son, Rio, is supposed to go there, but when I found out he couldn't enter the Tower within the Ancient Ruin, I gave up."

"Can you tell me what the technique is first? I need to know what kind of thing that requires me to put myself in danger after all. If you can't say it to me, it's better to abandon that thought of yours."

Davi knew he was going to ask this and answered. "Certainly. The technique is called Two Races Union. According to the record, the technique can stimulate the monster blood's potential by using human blood. Of course, you need the human blood to be powerful and the monster blood to be weak.

"That's why the blood needs to be diluted for several generations. With our current situation, I believe this is the right time to get that. The monster blood will gain strength equal to the human blood and ultimately fuse the two energies, enhancing our power even further. Of course, this requires a few steps and time. At most, only the next generations will enjoy such a privilege."

Alex furrowed his eyebrows as a thought came to his mind. 'Now that I think about it, Sherry can be considered a monster… I have been calling her a beast because I feel bad about the former terms. If Sherry conceives my child… Will the two energies clash?

'Sherry could get my fire, but not my energy. If this is the case, I should enter and study that technique for a period of time before giving it back to Davi. Maybe I will know what will happen when a human has a partner with them and the change they bring?'

Not knowing what to say, Alex remembered that he had his system. 'System, do you know anything about this?'

[Just like you know. The energies won't clash, but they also won't fuse. This is why not many people would take monsters as their partner. You can say that the child won't be able to release its full potential. From my knowledge, I believe their ancestors were God Rank Experts, so their strength regressed on their child.]

'…' Alex didn't know what to say. 'It seems I need to get this technique as well. Maybe I should get a copy?'

[No need. You can read the technique once, and everything will be stored in my database. This way, I can make a copy and give it to you.]

'Really?'

[Of course. I am just utilizing the spying system that always records everything you see… You used to hate this system though, because you didn't get privacy.]

'Ahaha… I have gotten used to it now, so I don't complain. But it seems the system has finally become a useful system, no?'

[Are you going to insult me again with that useless system thingy?]

'I am just joking.' Alex chuckled inwardly. 'Anyway, I am relying on you since this will be our future.'

[Albeit we don't know whether the technique can be used or not.]

'As long as there is a clue about it, I will try,' Alex said with determined eyes. Sherry is his wife. He would spare no effort in creating the best future.

[I understand. Good luck then.]

'Yes.'

After talking with the system, he finally broke his posture, where he appeared to be pondering the matter. He looked at Davi and said, "Sure. I can fulfill this request of yours as an additional payment if you can become our agent."

He widened his eyes as if a ray of hope illuminating Alex. No one in 2-Star Martial Saint would be able to defeat Alex in his eyes, so Alex would be a great help in this matter.

"I would like to request an advance payment for this time. As you know that the Patriarch has changed, we need to do it as soon as possible. I will handle my family member, and you can enter a special place without anyone noticing it. I will take full responsibility for this." Davi nodded with a solemn expression.

"Before that… I would like to ask you one question."

"Please."

"Were your ancestors God Rank Experts?" Alex asked.

"!!!" It was a very long long ago record, but they indeed had such a record. Unfortunately, it was already aged, so they only had a single paper that mentioned this matter. Not many people knew about this in their clan, let alone the other influences. Yet, Alex managed to speculate something like this just by learning the request. At this time, a thought arose in his mind. 'Rather than having a fight against a peerless genius, it's better to get into his good side.'

At this moment, he was convinced that it was better to please Alex. He would commit to fulfilling Alex's request.

"Yes. You are right. There was a sharp decline after our ancestors, but it wasn't that much of a problem. Only after when an accident from a few thousand years ago occurred that there was no longer God Rank Expert and Divine Items in this world. Including those in our treasury… Everything vanished mysteriously."

Alex closed his eyes. 'That must be when my previous life sealed this world…'

"Since you have agreed to this request, let's go back and complete our Heavenly Oath. We can open the realm in a week. If it's fine with you, you can stay in this mansion." Davi stretched his offer again, but to no avail.

"No. It's better if I leave first. Don't worry. I will return a week from now and inform you through the usual way." Alex nodded.

Davi could only sigh and nod as if he had expected this. It seemed the previous actions really blew all of his trust away, and he needed to experience the backlash this time. "I understand. I will prepare everything for you."

Alex nodded. He planned to have the N squad investigate the matter first, checking whether this was only a trap or not. If this were a trap, it would be the time where he eliminated the Ancient Blue Family first, even if it meant only using the power of Freedom Sect and Spirit Nest. It might cause an unforeseeable future, but it would be better than having a knife pointed at your throat all time.

"Sure." Alex nodded and stood up.

They then returned to the previous room and completed the Heavenly Oath according to the terms they proposed earlier. Of course, Viola also used another Heavenly Oath, so she didn't blurt it out to the Freedom Sect. Nonetheless, that information was pretty useless for them anyway. Even if the Ancient Blue Family got stronger, it wouldn't be that strong.

After finishing all their business, the group finally left the city, leaving only Alex and the Freedom Sect in the inn.
