1038 Can’t a man sleep in peace?

Alex looked at the guild chat blowing up, and she knew that it was going to take a while for things to calm down and focus to return back to the third wave of the apocalypse.

Until then, she did not plan on standing here and wasting her time. She wrapped things up in the magic shop and looked for the fairy to thank her, but Tilia was nowhere to be seen.

Alex did not know why the fairy helped them, but she had a feeling that it had nothing to do with her.

It was definitely related to Liam. She thought about it for a moment before she shrugged and walked out.

As she came out of the magic shop, a group of people walked past her, all equipped to fight the undeads. Everyone waved at Alex, giving her a nod of respect.

Alex also smiled. "I suppose it's time for me to start training as well."

The undead were easy prey for her, so she had already planned for a dungeon run along with a few other members of the guild.

But before doing that, there was a stop she wanted to make.

She made a left turn and walked over to the villa that was standing at the center of the guild base.

This villa alone seemed pretty much deserted when compared to the otherwise crowded area.

However, instead of people, there were ten huge golems that stood surrounding this villa, tightly squeezed together, forming an impenetrable barrier. Any intruder that wanted to step foot here must face all of these ten powerful golems.

Naturally, this was where Liam was currently resting.

Alex entered the villa and went to the first floor of the building. Outside the huge master bedroom, there were five people currently seated.

Weirdly, these five people were split into three groups. The first group consisted of two men who were sitting rather silently, simply staring at the ground in front of them.

The second group consisted of Shen Yue and Mei Mei, who were chatting with each other about something. And lastly...

The third group consisted of a single woman. Her crimson eyes were locked onto the bedroom door, and her gaze seemed as if she was looking at something beyond the door.

Alex once again felt the familiar uncomfortable feeling churning at the bottom of her stomach as she stared at these strangers, especially the woman.

Only if Liam woke up would there be an explanation for everything, but considering his current condition, was he going to be okay?

He had taken down the entire second wave by himself. No matter how strong he was, this was bound to place an enormous stress on him.

Even Alex knew that something like this was not supposed to happen. They were perhaps supposed to perish and become insect food in a matter of days, but thanks to him, everyone was still alive.

However, was he going to be okay?

She sighed and worriedly looked at the door, forgetting to ask Shen Yue and Mei Mei the questions that she wanted to ask in the first place.

Lost in her thoughts, she stood still, staring at the same spot, when suddenly she sensed something, and Alex instinctively turned around to see the strange woman now standing right next to her.

The freaking woman was so close to her that she could smell her unique scent that floated in the air!"What the hell?" Alex furrowed her brows and quickly stepped back.

"He He He." The draconian princess laughed lightly. "I like the color of your hair."

"Huh?" Alex's face twitched. In this kind of situation, this person was commenting about her hair?

Was she alright in the head?

She stared at the strange woman who was still smiling casually at her. She couldn't understand heads or tails about this person. So she cleared her throat awkwardly and hurriedly walked over to Shen Yue and Mei Mei.

"How is he doing? Did he wake up at all?"

"No." Shen Yue shook her head.

"Okay. If you don't mind, keep waiting here. I don't trust any of these people, especially him." Alex threw a death glare at the monk who had swindled her back in the game.

The monk also obviously recognized her, but he did not dare show it.

His eyes quickly darted to Alex and back to the ground in front of him as he nervously continued to stare at nothing in particular.

Alex shook her head in disapproval. "Like I said, I don't trust these three. Can you stay here?"

Shen Yue also thought the same thing. So she nodded in agreement. "Yes. I plan on doing that."

Though if one looked closely, one could see that she was mildly annoyed.

And it turns out that someone was indeed looking closely.

In the midst of the awkward silence that filled the space, loud laughter echoed, and the draconian princess unexpectedly hopped and skipped and arrived at the gathering of the three women.

"Quite an interesting situation we have here. He He He."

"A dark enchantress and a divine paladin. They are almost polar opposites. He He He."

"And it looks like that brat has bedded the both of you but not informed either of you about the other one?"

Seeing the two women looking utterly stunned and speechless, the draconian princess laughed again and suggested one more possibility.

"Oh? Perhaps both of you are in his harem and simply don't want to co-exist anymore?"

"Hmmm? You are still silent?"

"Was I wrong again?"

"Wait, both of you do not agree on another lover? Is it this girl? She looks rather young. Hmmm"

Ah? Mei Mei silently scooted back as if she did not want to get involved in this.

Seeing that the strange woman did not plan to stop speaking anytime soon and that every word which came out of her mouth was only becoming more and more ridiculous, both Alex and Shen Yue shouted at the same time. "Stop!"

Alex even had her fists tightly clenched. "What the hell are you talking about? What harem? What nonsense? Shut up! Who the hell are you in the first place?"

Shen Yue, on the other hand, explained things more patiently. "Excuse me, Miss. Please don't misunderstand things."

"Yue! You don't have to be polite to this woman! What a cheap person! How dare you make assumptions like this? Who bedded whom? Who did you think I was? Wait till Liam wakes up! The first I do will be to send you the hell out of our guild. All three of you!"

The other two heard this and remained as expressionless as ever, but the draconian princess once again laughed in amusement.

"Ha Ha Ha Ha! Ha Ha Ha Ha! This is even more amusing! So the brat has only bedded the enchantress here, not you, huh? Considering how much in love you are with him, this must really be a sore topic for you. My bad, I am sorry. Ha Ha Ha."

Alex's temper instantly shot up. If she was a stormy sea before, now she was a bursting volcano. "You are crossing a line! You are- Hmph." She scoffed angrily and turned to Shen Yue to see if she would support her, but Shen Yue was also looking at her with a weird gaze.

As if the draconian princess decided to add more oil to this fire, she did not stop and continued.

"Look here, Miss Enchantress. You are too pitiful in your current state. For an enchantress, you severely lack any personality. At this rate, you would only remain in the background for that brat.

This fiery redhead is going to steal him away in no time."

"Men like women who take initiative in bed. You need to be more proactive. Test your limits on what an enchantress could do. Stop holding yourself back. Don't be afraid to show your full sexuality."

"Take this redhead, for example. I bet the minute she undresses, she becomes a bombshell. You have to be bold and brave."

Alex's eyes went wide. She was shivering with anger. "Hey! You are going too far! If you don't shut the hell up now, I am personally going to pummel you to the ground. I really don't care who you are or what you are to Liam."

"Oh! That's easy. I am your King's big sister. You need to speak to me more politely in the future, you little bitch."

"What the fuck did you just say, you slut? Why don't you first wear some clothes? You look like a wannabe porn prostitute!"

"Che! How uncultured! You should really stop speaking. Your mouth is better served for making my King happy."

This was the last straw. Alex was completely out of it. "Bitch! I am going to-"

She raised her broad sword without holding back and swung it forward. It not only had her full strength and power behind it, but she also used divine energy to strengthen the attack.

Naturally, she did not plan on connecting the attack, but she did not mind teaching this woman here a thing or two.

However, before she could even control herself, suddenly, the woman in front of her moved, and the sword in her hand landed with a loud clang on the floor.

Alex stood in shock as she gawked at the wild woman. More importantly, her eyes were fixed on her finger. The woman's one finger had blocked her attack just like that? Just how strong was she?

The fighting spirit inside of her raged, and she started casting another skill, this time something even more powerful, in fact, her most powerful attack - Divine Judgement!

Wisps of mana immediately started pooling around her, and the entire place became touched with an aura of divinity. Golden threads weaved in the air as a huge golden sword image formed above the target's head.

"Let me see you block this one. Divine judgment!" Alex shouted.

But before the whole skill could materialize, the huge door in front of the waiting room unexpectedly opened.

"What is going on here? You guys are way too noisy. Can't a man sleep in peace?" Liam scratched his head and walked out.

Kyu...

Right next to him, a small white fox also lazily rubbed her eyes as if she was complaining about the same thing.
