Upon seeing this Silveria pouted even more, her pout made her look way beautiful under the moonlight, Alex was momentarily smitten unable to peel off his eyes from this woman.
Silveria oblivious to the effect she was having on Alex at the moment thought of something and nodded.
''Sure, I'll cook for you in return.''
Bad-ump!
Alex's heart skipped at the unexpected reply, his face reddened and he quickly lowered it to hide his embarrassment.
''What?" Silveria questioned but Alex only replied.

Inwardly he was thinking that Silveria tonight was dangerous in many ways.
An awkward silence fell upon them for a moment until Silveria cleared up her throat and asked.
''What do you think about what the Gods told you?"
Alex went silent for a while, recalling what the Gods had told him he sighed.
''They sound desperate. I understand that we ought to quickly take care of Bahamut, thus securing the gate to the lower realm, by doing so we will avoid the fate of the lower realm containing billion of worlds from getting swallowed like the other worlds by the chaos.''
Silveria nodded, she also thought the same thing, most of the world in the middle realm have been swallowed already, to access the lower realm where Earth is located alongside many other worlds, they needed to conquer Mysthia acting as the portal at the same time as the barrier to the lower world. For this reason, Bahamut, the Chaos Prince minion has been sent to Mysthia to conquer it, he hadn't expected to meet resistance so much, it was to be expected, but because of the Gods' interference, Bahamut's first invasion failed.
The Chaos Prince wasn't happy with this, therefore some countermeasures have been put forth for the second invasion to succeed. To counter this the Gods knew they couldn't leave everything to the native of Mysthia, therefore they brought otherworlders as backup, even this seemed to be unable to solve the problem thus taking in a champion have become their last attempt.
Alex understood all of this but he wouldn't do as their plan. He had his plans, becoming a champion for a God meant you'll be bound and for someone who wished to see the end, to stand at the summit he couldn't accept this.
Besides he didn't like their attitude, the attitude that states you should obediently do as we say piss him off. There was also another reason which made him skeptical to fully trust the Gods.
''I don't like their attitude. If my suspicion was proven to be right then they messed with the wrong person.'' Alex's gaze was chilly when he uttered those world, the temperature plummeted almost extinguishing the bonfire, and a heavy killing intent filled the air for a moment before Alex concealed it, despite this Silveria was affected by it.
''Hehehe! We will see.'' Alex smiled.
Silveria felt a chill run up her spine when she saw Alex's evil smile. That smile gave off an ominous feeling.
Silveria started to sweat as she extended her hand.
''Master, what do you mean they messed with something shouldn't have? How much more of a mess are you going to make in the Divine world later?"
''Aren't we together all the time? You'll see. They dare to take me for a chess piece that could do whatever they want with, no I'm no longer that. Also don't you find it suspicious?" He suddenly raised a question at the end of his sentence with his eyes turning grave.

''Elaborate please.'' She said even when she already had an inkling about what her master was being suspicious about, she also found that matter suspicious.
Alex looked at Silveria for a moment before nodding.
''I have always found my parent's death to be suspicious, it happened abruptly and there was no way my competent and diligent father even when a dispute was happening wouldn't notice a car coming our way, also our car was technologically advanced, meaning it has an AI capable of taking control in case of a dangerous situation. For example, there was one time my father went to one of his meetings and was drunk, normally couldn't come back home as he couldn't drive in that state, but the car's system took control, fastened the belt around him, and drove the car back home. So tell me how such a car wouldn't react and let our car crash?"
Silveria was unable to offer any response, she could only listen. Explained like that it was sure hella suspicious.
Alex continued with his analysis.
''That is one point, the second point is my death, I mean our death, how could some third-rate thugs successfully infiltrate our bus? Bypassing our bodyguards checkups and cars escorting us? None of the children on the bus are from a weak background, some had billionaire parents, and every one of us was important so was the security. Despite this, the kidnapers still succeeded in infiltrating leading to our bus crashing resulting in our ultimate death. Do you understand where I'm getting at?"
Silveria couldn't help but sigh. Like she feared Alex also arrived at this conclusion. With the time spent with Alex, and knowing him she and her sister found some parts in Alex's earth story to be weird. Everything is suspicious.
''I see that you have also noticed the inconsistencies. For my parent's death, I did my investigation after I grew but all evidence pointed at my father being the sole culprit for what happened. I couldn't believe it still I don't have a choice other than accepting but somewhere in my heart, I have the intuition that there must be some otherworldly power at play, and while I was thinking about further investigating it happens. We died and reincarnated here, coincidentally they have a mission for us, this gives me a part of the missing puzzle. These people calling themselves Gods might be responsible for everything that happened to me and if this assumption was proven to be accurate, hell I'll make them pay.''
Alex's eyes at the moment were like that of a fiend.
Silveria's body shuddered, excitation could be seen in those silver eyes. She wouldn't mind tasting some low-quality God's divinity.
At the same time somewhere.
