Chapter 142: Encounter
Chapter 142: Encounter
When I heard her words, a smile spread across my face. To be honest, after so many days in this world, she has become an important part of my life.
I nodded slightly as I changed my clothes, but when I looked in the mirror, an awkward feeling overcame me because my clothes did not look good. Every one of my clothes was designed with the Hybrid Monkey figure in mind, and now I look like a normal human. Maybe I should get some new clothes for myself.
My head shook as I stared at the mountains again. I couldn’t believe that these were the same mountains in my memory where that boy hunted that dinosaur-like creature. And this is the same place when I met that girl and what’s more important is that girl was Lucia. I was confused when I heard that. How could Lucia be that? Was she her avatar or what?
Thinking about Lucia, the image of the dream flashed in my mind again before the knock on the door broke my thoughts. I shook my head and moved to open to door. But I was stunned when I opened the door. Infront of me stood two gorgeous women who were looking at me curiously. While Alexandra wore a normal gown, Tanya wore a white shirt and trousers. Even with the slight makeup, they looked quite gorgeous.
My heart thumped for a moment before I took a deep breath to it down when I heard Tanya’s voice in my ears.
“What happened? Why are you looking stunned?”
I shook my head, “When two beautiful women stand before any man. Anyone could become stunned. Anyway, you both are looking gorgeous,”
A smile bloomed on their faces when they heard my words, and their eyes were fixed on me. I nodded slightly and said,
“Can we go now?”
“Sure,” Tanya said as they both turned and turned around to leave the suite. My brows furrowed for a moment before my gaze shifted to the third room. Why didn’t I see that room before, or did I ignore that? I took a deep breath again and shook my head and followed them out.
And as soon as I stepped into the corridor, an eerie silence greeted me, but I didn’t mind as I turned to see that both Alexandra and Tanya were standing in front of the elevator and I strolled and stood with them. There was an awkward silence as all of us stood silent with our eyes fixed on the Elevator before the sound of the arrival of the elevator broke the silence and the door opened.
“Let’s go” It was Tanya who spoke and moved into the elevator and I and Alexandra followed her in.
As we stood in the elevator, my gaze was drawn to the two ladies, who were silent as they stared at the door. I observed that I stood a head tall compared to both of them. But suddenly the sound of the elevator broke my thoughts, and I took a step forward to move out of the elevator. But my steps came to Halt when I saw that a man had a surprised expression on his face as he looked at Tanya. He was so concentrated on Tanya that he didn’t even see that Alexandra was standing behind Tanya.
A slight smile formed on my face as I wanted to see the reaction of Tanya. And as expected, she moved sideways to make her way to the exit.
If I remember correctly, his name was Bret, and a frown formed on his face as his gaze followed Tanya before a voice escaped his lips.
“Tanya, why are you avoiding me. I.” But before he could any more words. Alexandra’s voice echoed in the lobby.
“You have a lot of guts, Bret?”
He froze before his head turned to see Alexandra before he stuttered, “Why are you here Madam?”
My brows furrowed when I looked at him. Why is his color drained from his face?
“You have a lot of Guts, right? You didn’t even look at me and your eyes were fixed on Tanya’s” Alexandra glared at him while my gaze shifted to Tanya, who was speaking to Deliah, who had a surprised expression on her face when she saw me. I nodded at her while my gaze shifted back to the scene unfolding before me.
Bret took a deep breath. “I am sorry, but I didn’t know that you are also here. How are you doing?”
Alexandra nodded. “I am fine, but I am here for over two weeks. Anyway, I heard a lot about you in the past few years, but don’t be too complacent. You don’t know who would beat you just because of carelessness.”
The way Alexandra was speaking to him surprised me. “Was he so much popular in the forces? But why is he here? Isn’t his holidays over?”
While my gaze was fixed on Alexandra and many thoughts were swirling in my mind. His irritated voice reached my ears.
“Why are you standing there? Don’t you know that you can’t stand with your superior officer?”
My brows furrowed when I heard his words, but surprisingly, I didn’t feel any anger at his words. I just felt that some dog was barking in front of me. I just shook my head before I made my way towards Tanya, who stood beside Deliah and was looking at me.
I also felt his gaze on my back as I reached the counter where these two ladies were standing. But what surprised me was that Alexandra didn’t say any word to him while he was ordering me, but, to be honest, I didn’t mind and as I said before; I felt like that a dog was barking before me.
My gaze was fixed on the two ladies who were smiling and before I could say anything to them, that man’s voice echoed in the lobby.
“Didn’t you know you couldn’t just ignore your officer? You had to salute them before proceeding with your work?”
My brows furrowed, and I could see that even Tanya and Deliah had a frown on their faces. But this time Alexandra intervened/
“I think you forgot to salute me. I think I was your superior in the past,”
But this time he retorted, “Alexandra, even though I respect you, you don’t work at the front line anymore.”
My brows furrowed when I heard those words. This is the first time someone has spoken to Alexandra like that. I turned around to see that Alexandra’s face turned ugly as I felt a slight pressure on me, but everyone in the lobby flushed red and many of them even fell to the ground. My gaze shifted to Tanya, who supposedly created an invisible wall for her and Deliah.
A frown formed on my face as I saw that everyone was succumbing to the pressure. Even that Bret’s face flushed red as his legs slightly wobbled, but he stood straight and looked straight at Alexandra.
Alexandra’s amusedly looked at Bret before a smirk formed on her face and suddenly pressure increased even more and almost everyone in the Lobby fell to the ground. Even Bret started shaking heavily as a drop of blood slid from his nose.
But I was surprised. Surprised because I only felt the pressure increasing slightly, but that’s all. It didn’t affect me much. Before I could think more, Eve’s voice resounded in my mind.
“This tiny bit of pressure will not affect you”
My brows furrowed as I asked Eve, “What happened?”
“Remember that you are not the normal man and the blood flowing in you is superior to all these people. This amount of pressure would not even affect you.”
I nodded as my gaze was fixed on Bret, who finally succumbed to the pressure and fell to the ground, and Alexandra’s voice echoed throughout the Lobby.
“Remember that you were always the ant before me. In the past and even now. So don’t act cocky in front of me. Remember that I was handling the entire fleet of the soldiers like you and I don’t need your respect as such. I see that you are becoming more and more arrogant because of your worthless performance in the forces. But there are many people in the forces who you cannot afford to offend. The man you were just ordering around was one of those people. You don’t know, but I will tell you some interesting news about him. He is selected for the position of Prime Three. And I think you know what Prime three is, right?”
“Prime Three?” I frowned but my attention was drawn to him, who started shivering as he turned around to look at me. His eyes went wide as he stuttered, “Prime Three?”
But suddenly, the pressure vanished as I saw Alexandra walking towards me with a surprised look on her face.
“You didn’t feel any pressure?”
I shook my head before my gaze shifted to Bret, who was foolishly staring at me.
And then I looked at Alexandra, who nodded her head slightly, “You are indeed a candidate for Prime Three,”
