Chapter 84 Feet Connoisseur Alex
After Alex parted ways with his wives, he went to make some arrangements to meet Hazel.
Getting an appointment with a CERN researcher wasn't easy and while he was preparing for things, Alex realized the need for an assistant.
He couldn't go around doing small things on his own. He definitely needed a good assistant that could do all the menial tasks. Not just one, but he would need another assistant who could connect him to big shots around the world.
To do that, he would first need to build a big reputation and only then would things work out properly for him.
This thought made another thought surface. A question he had been thinking ever since his regression: to be in the limelight or not?
Both had their pros and cons, with the con while being in the limelight was that he would be famous around the world and people might pester him. He would also be easy to locate and get assassinated.
However, not being in the limelight also didn't guarantee safety since people could always track him. He was a normal human after all and had a home to go back to.
He wasn't some underworld criminal who had the power to hide everything about him. To tell the truth, Alex was sure even those criminals couldn't hide themselves much either since there was always a bigger fish.
As for the bigger fish, it ruled the waters and didn't need to hide. Nobody would come looking for trouble anyway.
Alex didn't know much about Blesseds nor the major powers of the world. He just knew what the general public was told by the Association of Blesseds regarding them, that's it.
Nicole was a great source to get information from, but rejecting her and then using her would be slightly troublesome. Although he didn't want to reject her, when looking at things from a bigger perspective, she would just get hurt.
Though, this was just a test to see how far things would go.
She was someone with a modern upbringing. The concept of polygamy was a taboo and she could always find someone else. It wouldn't be difficult since she was such a big shot.
This was for her own happiness since the pre-established taboo was difficult to wipe away. Alex was sure to keep her happy, but societal norms would come haunting her.
Alex knew it very well since he himself suffered from a dilemma not long ago.
In any case, if Nicole loved him and still wanted to be together with him, he wouldn't mind taking her in. How she would approach her coming situations, it was to be seen.
Nicole's case aside, Alex needed a shit ton of information regarding many things. At best he had memories of ten years in the future which wouldn't do shit since everything was surface level.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtIt was surface level because he never bothered with things and just kept to work. He never thought he would be regressing and didn't bother to research a lot of things.
Alex's goals were clear by now and the topic of being in the limelight or not, he decided to have a cover.
A cover that would keep his private life secure.
Nicole was someone he met accidentally and with how their relationship was, she would try to protect him.
However, the same thing could've happened with a different approach as well. If he was someone the country couldn't afford to lose, he would simply be given tons of protections and Nicole would eventually be in contact with him anyway.
Thus, Alex decided that it would be best if was in the limelight and became a major personality.
He was already slightly famous by becoming the youngest neurosurgeon in history. And if the company he was opening rose to great heights, nothing would stop him from being known globally.
Alex had to be sure though. He had to be sure of having the strength to back up his personality, otherwise he was just walking towards his own doom.
This thing was not a problem either for him since he wasn't planning to stop his cultivation anytime soon anyway.
He was already having many people trying to assassinate him, with the ones pulling the strings in the background probably being his wives.
He wasn't worried though. He could only just smirk knowing he would be punishing some naughty girls sooner or later.
Trying to put him in harm would have its price, which they would be paying later with their…
Alex flashed an evil smile and got back to writing things in his diary.
…..
Alex's home.
Melissa and Nix suddenly shivered.
They looked in a certain direction and thought, 'damn! What is their husband thinking?'
For the first time they felt a perverted gaze on them. A super unholy one that made them shiver.
It was as if they were little sheeps being eyed by a big bad wolf.
Clearing her throat, Nix said, "did you do something, big sis?"
"What do you mean?" Melissa asked.
Nix looked at her and said, "ever since his reincarnation, I feel he's become more perverted."
"Oh." Melissa understood and shook her head. There was no way she had a hand in this. She definitely did nothing that aided their husband in becoming a pervert.
Looking at her sister, Nix squinted her eyes. She definitely didn't believe this lewd goddess. "I wanna know what all things happened between you and him after you met him. In complete detail."
"Why? Are you doubting your big sis, Fi-chan?" Melissa asked with a 'I am hurt by your accusations' look.
"Yes, 100%. Now spill."
"…" Melissa was speechless. "Hey, I am not like stupid Scarlett. Don't doubt me."
Nix, cutting some carrots, put down her knife and said with a straight face, "you do know that it's false, right? The only difference between you two perverts is that one is closeted."
Melissa knitted her brows. "Fi-chan, what the hell?"
Looking at her older sister with a serious look, Nix said, "big sis, if you don't answer me, I am gonna call that stalker. She'll tell me everything in much more detail after teaming up with a much bigger stalker."
Hearing that, Melissa suddenly had a bad foreboding. "You mean that cheerful stalker and the silver-haired pervert?"
"Big sis, you're silver-haired too."
"…"
"It's not wron—"
"Shush. Don't keep me in the same category as her." Melissa felt offended and said. "She's a gone case with how obsessed she is."
Nix nodded. "That's right. She causes some major pain in the ass."
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"What? Does she ask husband to do you in the ass?" Melissa completely took it in the wrong way.
"…" It was Nix's turn to be stupefied. Damn this shameless Goddess! Why is everyone the same? Nix couldn't help but curse.
"Stop changing the topic. Tell me what you did to husband or else I am calling Lumina and Aurora." Nix threatened.
"Okay, okay, I will." Melissa decided to not let things go to those two and gave in.
They were a really troublesome bunch and Melissa didn't want them to come in contact with their husband so early. What if Alex awakened some weird fetish after meeting them?
The last time she checked with him, after meeting Lumina, he went around and sneakily took pictures of everybody's feet.
Lumina had no shame whatsoever!
Neither did her husband but since he was her husband, she didn't think too bad about him.
Lumina and Aurora deserved all the hate though. They were as annoying as stinky Scarlett!
"Ahem." Clearing her throat, Melissa said, "now that I think about it, I may not be the reason for him turning more shameless. He probably learnt it before reincarnation from others."
Nix thought about it while eyeing Melissa suspiciously. "I don't think so. He was still pretty tame."
"Tame? Did you forget about the time he locked himself in seclusion for a good few years saying he had some cultural books to read?" Melissa reminded.
"Yeah? What of it? Wasn't he just meditating?" Nix felt nothing wrong.
"Hah! Those weren't cultural books!" Melissa revealed. "They were a compilation of feet pics! He was comparing everybody's feet and making a top ten list!"
Nix was utterly dumbfounded hearing that.
Though, she couldn't help but ask, "who was the number one?"
Melissa facepalmed and didn't know what to say to Nix anymore. But, remembering something and getting annoyed, she answered:
"Lumina."
"…"
"DAMN THAT PERVERT!"
