Gacha Sovereign

He simply returned to the mansion and began training while Silvia asked Navin for a report during the small mission.

After knowing that her family was safe, Aria finally concentrated on her training. The days passed without any more troubles. There was a visitor during the first two weeks, which turned out to be Adrian.

To his surprise, Adrian fell on his knees and thanked him politely.

"Thank you for helping me even though I was like coercing you."

"Get up. Everything is fine, so there is no need to dwell in it. If you want to thank the peak master, I will pass the message, so you don\'t need to go there." Alex nodded.

"I understand."

Alex had realized one more thing during the past two weeks. Adrian and the Cypress Family actually had no confidence in sending Alex to help Adrian because of the God Rank Expert.

What they wanted was to use Alex\'s and Aria\'s relationship with the peak master to have her help. She was the only one who could solve this issue, so they asked Alex to pass the message.

Adrian\'s action proved it even further, so Alex needed to hide the fact that it was Silvia instead of Illevis.

After giving his thanks, Adrian politely bowed and left the house.

Alex only hoped that the peak master was not aware of it since he would be suspicious. Although he could say everything was Silvia\'s will, the peak master would suspect him too. There was no way Silvia would meet someone unknown.

There were only two possibilities. The first was the fact that she knew about Alex\'s power and helped him to gain his favor. And the second possibility was due to their prior relationship.

The latter seemed to be a bit absurd, so Ilevis would most likely believe the first possibility.

Aria kept apologizing when Alex explained that, but the latter only told her it was alright. He asked her to train even harder if she felt bad, and it turned out she became crazy for training after that day. Even though Alex told her to rest, she kept training.

Only when she found Alex was quite angry, she finally stopped that stubborn attitude and returned to normal.

Nonetheless, they managed to improve their strength remarkably. When the new month came, another visitor appeared, bringing many things, from Spirit Crystals to weapons.

This person addressed Aria with praises, wanting to mend the relationship between her and the Grata Family.

However, Alex and Aria knew that they only wanted to prevent Ilevis from joining this fight. If she interfered again, there was nothing but defeat.

Alex then ordered Aria to know about what happened to the Grayfig Family.

Joyful news came right after when they heard the Grayfig Family was destroyed. According to Aria\'s father, there were two Rank 10 Gods decimating this family along with a few elites that kept anyone from leaving.

Even though he found that their treasury was empty, the Cypress didn\'t care anymore since their arch enemy had disappeared.

Of course, this action caused a disturbance, especially on a certain someone inside the sect. Yeah, it was none other than Gasha Grayfig.

He always thought that he could control the Cypress Family, but when Alex came, everything changed. Every single of his plans was a failure and even his family now had gone.

Silvia immediately reported that Gasha seemed to have a far bigger hatred for the Grata Family instead of the Cypress Family.

Aria was happy to the point she hugged Alex until they fell down, only to find it a bit embarrassing after that.

Adrian also learned the information and realized the fact that his sister might probably be in the best hand.

Without Alex, Aria wouldn\'t be here with this kind of achievement. No one could refute that.

However, Alex didn\'t have any interest in this matter and continued his everyday business.

It became a calm period again, so Alex and Aria kept increasing their strength. To his surprise, Aria managed to reach 5-Star Martial Saint after three months even though he predicted it required her another month.

It seemed she had no more thought about her family since they had solved it anymore. Without that unnecessary thought, Aria kept going without a break.

When the good news came, he also got another piece of news from the system with a blue notification appearing right before his eyes.

[I have a few good news. The first will be about our current investigation progress. You won\'t need to worry about Fire Worlds again because we have found enough for you and Sherry. This led to the second news. Sherry has managed to become the princess of that beast world.]

"Really? That\'s good." Alex smiled and nodded. "What is her situation over there?"

[She is fine and the Beast God has fulfilled his agreement to protect her. With this, there is a chance of alliance between the Beast World and our Eulja. This way, we will be more assured in fighting a large-scale war.]

"I see." Alex paused for a moment. "I never saw that world as my pawn for war, though."

[I know you treat them as a world that helps Sherry, but we are in this situation right now, so it\'s best to keep gathering pieces. For now, I will give the information about two Fire Worlds to Sherry, so she can complete the Fire Authority.]

"Please."

[As for your Fire World, I will give you the compass when you are about to leave. Is that fine?]

"I don\'t mind. I can keep my focus this way."

[Alicia and Firia don\'t have much difference in their missions. According to Firia, she managed to get a silver medal from the Alchemy Tower. Her strength is top-notch.]

"Silver medal?"

[It\'s a special medal from a world known as Alchemist paradise. If you want to be recognized as an alchemist, you should go to that world. As for the medal, it\'s a God Rank Expert medal that is only for those who have reached God Rank.]

[There are three medals for that. Bronze, Silver, and Gold. Each shows the status of a God Rank Alchemist. In other words, having a Silver Medal was a kind of seeing someone who mastered most of what you should know about Alchemy, with Gold being the master of Alchemy. There were not many people that acquired that rank.]

"I see. That\'s good then. I have no plan in acquiring the title for the time being."

[I understand that. And finally, it\'s about your parents-in-law. They have been asking me, Anna, and Anya, when you are going to visit them. It seems they have something to talk about.]

"I understand. I will visit them first before meeting with my teacher. Please apologize to them on my behalf."

[Don\'t worry. They understand your problem. Besides, they are a bit special as a couple…You will know more after you meet them.]

"Alright then. Is there anything else?"

[One more thing. After talking about Heilo to Alicia, she completely gave up because of her current situation and Letizia. Due to this, Letizia will become his master with a life and death contract. So, she won\'t talk to you and Heilo first.]

"How?"

[She is with me right now. Maybe, it\'s better to talk to you first. Heilo can wait until you return.]

"I see. Sure." Alex nodded. "How are Evelyn and Rose then?"

[They are both good. Evelyn is about to become a God Rank Expert, while Rose might need one more year or two…probably.]

"Alright then. I don\'t need to worry about them anymore. Just tell Evelyn to wait for me in Eulja."

[Do you want them to train in that world as well?]

"Absolutely, but not now. Maybe after I reach Rank 5 God, I will have a diplomatic talk with them since I should have enough strength to protect myself. And the others will think twice before trying to do something to me."

[That is probably a better solution rather than sneaking inside there. After all, you need to be there for a long time. As for teaching them, I don\'t know if you have time to do that.]

"Yeah. That\'s my concern. It\'s best to let them learn from the source." Alex nodded with a solemn expression.

[Okay. I have finished my part. Do you want to add something before I change with Letizia?]

"One more thing. How are you, Anna, and Anya? Are you doing fine?"

[I am great. Anna and Anya got spanked from time to time. And yeah, it was their mother.]

"Pfft." Alex tried to hold his laughter before taking a deep breath to calm himself down. "Alright then."

[I will switch with her right now.]

Alex didn\'t say anything and waited until another notification appeared.

[Master, this is Letizia.]

"Ya. How are you?"

[I am fine. The Ice Phoenix Tribe treats me well and I will be sticking around them for the time being. I saw that Master also wants me to learn in that world…]

"Yeah. Do you have a problem? I mean, you focus not only on your element but also your sword, right? As long as you can get stronger, I am glad. For now, I have Deep Frozen Crystals for you. That\'s right. I will leave six Deep Frozen Crystals in the Inventory, so you and Alicia can split. Three-three, you hear me?"

Alex didn\'t forget to say to split it evenly because he believed Letizia would look down on herself and only take one while giving the rest to Alicia.

[Yes.]

"Well, I want to give you more, but I should give the other four to Heilo. After all, you two will have the Ultimate Freezing Pill from this Eternal Ice Flower I have got."

[Thank you, Master. I am just afraid that I am not qualified to get something like that. And you even want me to make a contract with the ruler of Ice, the Yachi.]

"It\'s fine. You should stop looking down on yourself. You are a Pure Ice Element user. Even though you have sworn to the Universe to become my slave, I never saw you that way, you know."

[I apologize.]

Alex paused for a moment and smiled. "Say…How about going together with me to a world to enjoy your life? Hmm…I have a long schedule for now, maybe after I have finished all my business?"

[Can I?]

"Like I said, you shouldn\'t ask that question. The answer is yes or no. Take it or leave it."

[Yes?]

Alex scratched the back of his head and let out a long sigh. "Well, that\'s good enough for now. We can talk about this when I meet you again."

Lin Xingzhi could only shake her head but decided to take back that disappointment when she saw her blushing while playing with her fingers as if she didn\'t know what to do.

She almost laughed at that time and started teasing her.

"Oya, oya. What do we have here?" Lin Xingzhi smirked.

Letizia\'s body shook and turned to Lin Xingzhi. "I…"

"I smell love in the air. Hmm…Maybe you have the most complicated love story among us. I mean, from an opposition to a slave to a subordinate to this."

"I…What should I do?" Letizia glanced left and right as she couldn\'t stare straight at Lin Xingzhi\'s eyes.

"Just do whatever you want. I don\'t have much problem with you here and I think I am a bit relieved. I mean there are ten rooms…Rather than having someone with an unknown goal, it\'s better to have someone like you."

"Can I?" She blushed. "I mean, I have always convinced myself that I am just a slave…Including that kind of slave…So, I have prepared myself to be pushed down by Master when he wants me…I think that is more suitable for me…"

Looking at her sheepish actions, Lin Xingzhi couldn\'t help but smile and hugged her. "So cute. I wonder if I should make you read my "ultimate" book?"
