314 Inner Disciple Tournament 19-Trouble

\\"Anyway, whatever his reason was, he offended Alex. That was the first. Then, after that, when we came inside Zwaka\'s realm. Alex already knew about the underground passage that could lead to the real palace. He chose to stay behind with the reason he wanted to cultivate.

\\"There were three reasons why he did not tell the others about his discovery. The first reason was that he was sure they would not believe him. The second reason he knew there were people in his tail which turned out to be the Zhou Soldiers. The third reason was because of the treatment he got from that b*tchy princess and that b*stard. You must know what I mean, right?\\" Anna said while narrowing her eyes toward Putri.

Putri only looked down.

\\"Anyway. It turned out to be perfect for us. And we finished our mission. Then we came to the Southern Kingdom and helped them with the war. Well, he only did it because of you. He did not care about the Southern Kingdom at all.

\\"The reason was simple. After helping them in the war with the help of our group as well as crucial information. That princess with the Kasmanan Family tried to kill him. They sent eight Martial Lords to us, and luckily we managed to kill them.

\\"After knowing about that, we were enraged. Alex decided to massacre the entire Kasmanan Family, so he did. Well, you already know what happened next. And from this story, I am sure you have understood why Alex decided to massacre the entire Kasmanan Family.\\"

\\"…\\" Putri looked down. She never thought there was such a backstory. She understood why Alex never told her about this.

If he told her about this, not only would she not believe him, she might hate him. After all, she had a complete trust in Eric and Mega back then. She clenched her fist, thinking about why she could not notice it sooner. She never knew Alex had carried such a burden this entire time. And all of it was because of her.

\\"But, I do not understand why that Princess and the Kasmanan Family wanted to kill Alex.\\" Song Yu said while pondering something.

\\"You don\'t understand? It is pretty easy to guess, you know. We did not know why but they surely suspected or knew Alex had the inheritances of a Martial Emperor. Luckily, none of you had any greed toward him. Or we might be forced to kill you too.\\" Anna said.

*Gasped-!*

Charya and Song Yu were the ones who shocked the most. They could not understand how Alex could massacre the entire Kasmanan Family. But the proof was there to see. If Alex could kill the whole Kasmanan Family, they might be able to kill them.

Charya aside, Song Yu might have the protection of the Blackwade Clan. Although they were away and she was unprotected at the moment. In case Alex tried to kill her because of this and she somehow managed to escape back to her clan.

The first thing she would do was to kill him. After all, Alex\'s talent was a threat. If Alex managed to rise, their family might share the same fate as the Kasmanan Family. Well, there were three reasons why she never had any greed for him.

First, she thought an inheritance of a Martial Emperor was so-so. Considering her family background, she indeed could think that way. Second, Alex was the VIP cardholder. She should not treat him that way, since the family rule stated, Blackwade clan members should not treat their VIP impolitely unless it were self-defense.

And the last reason why she never thought that way was simply because she was Alex\'s Senior Sister. She knew Alex\'s personality well, so she never worried about that.

But there was one person who got shocked by the word \'Martial Emperor.\' It was Evelyn. Unlike Charya and Song Yu, she was utterly clueless about this. When she heard Alex got the inheritance of a Martial Emperor, it shocked her to the core.

It could undoubtedly incite the greed of every person on the continent. If the other kingdoms or sects knew about this, they might try to kill him to possess the inheritance.

From her expression, Anna knew Evelyn must never know about this. She glanced at her, \\"So, little girl. If you have any thought about that, then be prepared if the Thiveapia Kingdom was razed to the ground. I am not saying this as an empty threat.

\\"There was a saying. Unless you are enraged by a tiger, you would not know how ferocious the tiger is, even if you know about it from the information. Alex is good to you, but that does not mean I will be good to you.

\\"My priority is his safety. The wound in his heart could heal with time, but if he died, then he could not even heal the wound even if there is a time.\\" Anna said coldly.

Evelyn nodded her head repeatedly. She never thought about that, and even after knowing about it, the thought about telling it to her family never flashed in her mind. She knew what would happen if she told her family about this.

\\"Good.\\"

She then looked toward the tenth elder and Evelyn\'s sister, who was left out this entire time. She looked at them with a cold glint, \\"The same applies to both of you. Do not think to have an 8-Star Martial Lord would be enough to stop us. I am one of his \'subordinates\' before my status as his wife.\\"

She emphasized the word \'Subordinates\' to them. The purpose was to tell them that she was not alone. There were many others like her as his subordinates. As for their strength, they were completely unknown. They could be stronger than her or weaker than her, but that threat alone was effective.

Lena and Miska sweatdropped after hearing her threat.

…

In the arena, Alex had been clashing with Eric for a few minutes. Although Alex had been suppressed by Eric this entire time, it was not like he was losing that much. As long as he could wait for a few minutes. The effect of Berserk Pill would end.

Although he wanted to finish the battle as soon as possible, he could not do so. After all, he needed to ensure he had enough energy to maintain a Spatial Gate. If he forcefully finished the match as soon as possible, he would not have enough energy to maintain the gate.

\\"What\'s wrong? You are only defending!\\" Eric tried to taunt him.

Sadly, it never affected Alex, as Alex knew about the duration of the pill. The battle might be a little bit anticlimactic, but Alex never cared about that. He continued to clash with Eric to buy time.

Alex had only been using his Silver Sovereign and his Sky Movement. He had spent his energy fighting Vicky, and he chose to fight Eric with such a circumstance. Of course, he could only play it safe.

They continued to clash until one moment where Eric suddenly spat blood and fell to his knees. The energy abruptly left his body as Eric could not move from his body anymore. Although he had not died, he had been crippled.

He checked his body. After the pill effect wore off, his cultivation slowly decreased to Martial Master, then Foundation rank, until nothing left.

\\"What happened?\\"

\\"I do not know if I feel it right. But I feel his cultivation suddenly decreased to nothing.\\"

\\"No. You are not wrong. I also feel that way. I can\'t see any cultivation that Eric has right now.\\"

\\"What? Did he become a cripple? How?\\"

Everyone, including the elders, was confused. The third elder checked his body and was shocked by the result. Eric indeed became a cripple as he could not see any trace of cultivation left inside him.

\\"You… are you alright?\\" He tried to ask Eric. When he saw Eric\'s sudden transformation, he did not know whether to stop the battle or not. But because the sect master did not order him to stop the match, he let them continue. But he was surprised to see Eric suddenly spat blood and became crippled.

Alex pointed his sword to Eric as he did not care about his state. He then looked at the third elder.

\\"You-!\\" The third elder was speechless by Alex\'s action. It was clear to see Alex had won. But Alex kept pointing his sword, compelling him to announce it. He gritted his teeth and announced,

\\"Alexander Sirius Wins!\\"

Unfortunately, there was no cheer heard in the arena, as all of them were confused about what happened. The third elder remembered when Alex said he would die in a few minutes, and asked him out loud, \\"You… do you know what happened to him?\\"

\\"It is his retribution. He swallowed an evil pill, and this is the backlash. He is already lucky enough not to die after swallowing that pill. And that pill\'s name is Berserk Pill.\\" Alex said casually.

\\"!!!\\" The third elder was alarmed when he heard that. He remembered there was a report about Blood Pill, Berserk Pill, and the Zhou Kingdom. They were ignoring it because it first came from Putri. They knew Putri\'s home, the Southern Kingdom, got attacked by the Zhou Kingdom.

They suspected that she was planning revenge through them. So, they chose to ignore her. Charya then tried to appeal it to them, but they also decided to turn a blind eye on it. After all, they knew if she could not do it herself, Charya would be glad to help them.

They thought she just took advantage of Charya\'s personality to convince them. But he never thought he finally witnessed the blood pill. He remembered everything about the report. The report was about the Zhou Kingdom having more than five hundred Martial Lords under their wings because of the effect of Blood Pill.

Of course, he knew what kind of evil pills the Blood Pill and the Berserk Pill were from the information. When he thought about that, he could not help but shuddered.

Alex looked at Eric coldly. He then checked his system.

\\"System, how about the mission?\\"

[Mission: Inner Disciple Tournament (Completed)

Description: #1

Reward: 10 Premium Tickets or 1 Special Summon Ticket (UR)]

[You have completed it, Host. Which reward will you choose?]

\\"I want to clarify first. If I choose the Special Summon Ticket, I can immediately summon Anya, right?\\"

[Yes.]

\\"Then, I choose the Special Summon Ticket.\\"

[Processing]

[Special Summon Ticket (UR) x1 Acquired]

[Now that you received the reward, it is time to go.]

\\"Yes. I know.\\"

Alex then appeared in front of Eric and whispered, \\"Since we can finish the battle two hours early, I will tell you this. I was the one who killed your entire family. Do you know if burning in an enclosed space, the air would completely burn too? That is the secret. Bye.\\"

Alex was confused about how to explain something scientific, so he only said that. Well, it was only for the cause and effect. Even though it was only a bait, Alex wanted him to suffer from that information. After all, Eric had been crippled.

He then disappeared from the arena.

\\"Alex!\\" He appeared inside Charya\'s room, and everyone greeted him.

Anna came to him and asked, \\"Do you get it?\\"

Alex nodded. He looked at everyone\'s confused expression. It seemed Anna did not explain anything to them. She just brought them here. He looked at them and said, \\"I will explain later. But I want all of you to follow me without asking a question.\\"

They were utterly shocked, but the first one who stepped forward was Putri. She had gone through many life and death situations with Alex, so she knew Alex would not do something bad to them. She had complete trust in him.

\\"Alright. I will follow your decision, Master.\\"

\\"…\\" Alex was speechless but also thankful to her. After she said that, the others also snapped from their daze and nodded. Miska and Lena were completely clueless since they did not know Alex that well and thought about rejecting it. However, deep down in their heart, they could not reject him, so they finally nodded their heads.

Alex then nodded as he raised his hand to the front. He tried to make a Spatial Gate but to no avail. He frowned as he did not understand why.

\\"Alex? Are you going to make it?\\" Anna asked while furrowing her eyebrows.

\\"I am trying, but I can\'t!\\" Alex said. They finally knew there was something wrong when they heard a shout that vibrated the entire sect.

\\"WHERE IS ALEXANDER SIRIUS?\\"
