Apocalypse After

Back to Meeting the Pigeons

Next morning.

After hearing the story from Melissa, Alexander felt his mood get better. From the story, the man instantly had some understanding of the plan Annie wanted to do. He did not expect at all that ‘ picking up wild animals’ could make him get a lot of benefits. Maybe it was because of a mysterious thing called luck.

At first, Alexander felt that the information about him and Annie was almost balanced. Know some things about your opponent, but there is still a lot to hide. However, the information that Melissa brought made Alexander feel somewhat satisfied because even a little .. but it still made him somewhat superior at least one step forward.

While having breakfast together, Alexander's colleagues looked surprised to see the man eat more. But what surprised them more was the happy appearance of the man. It seemed to feel more cheerful compared to the previous days.

The five women could not help but look towards Melissa who was eating while looking down. The woman seemed to feel embarrassed, as not only was she staying over, but she was also taking free food from some of the people she used to think of.

Meanwhile, Aurora and the four other women became slightly displeased, even having a slight trace of hostility to Melissa.

Of course, as the perpetrator, Alexander did not think too much at all. Not feeling the slightest difference in taste, but still eating as well as usual.

After breakfast, Alexander immediately asked Melissa.

“So, what's your plan now?” ask Alexander.

“I don't know when Miss Annie will come, but it's definitely not this early. So I'll stay here until nine, then go back to District 4.” Melissa replied.

“Do you need to be escorted there? Of course, I don't mean me or my escorting colleagues, but I can call Damian's subordinates to escort you home. At least that way you will not have an accident on the road,” said Alexander casually.

“...”

Melissa surprised. He had no idea Faust would help him this far. Now the man even offered other help. It really made him more confused.

“Why?” melissa asked with a surprised expression.

“What?” reply Alexander.

“Why have you helped me so far? Aren't you the fugitive's friend? Why do you have to help me? You can even do bad things to me, but you choose to help. It confused me. So ... why?” Melissa asked in a daze.

“Isn't that just a helping hand? I don't feel at all wronged. So I don't mind giving a little help,” Alexander replied with a friendly smile on his face.

“But it's not a small help for me!” exciting Melissa.

“Instead, it's just a small help for me, so no need to care.” Alexander shook his head.

Melissa calmed down. He looked at the relaxed-looking Alexander with a astonished expression on his face. The woman felt very complicated. Even previous negative thoughts begin to disappear, replaced by anxiety.

‘Maybe I misjudged Faust? It was possible that he was a kind man who liked to help people, and that arrogant V was helped by him by accident? Most likely like that. After all, there was no way Aura, that level 2 hunter was following a random man if it didn't have an advantage right?’

Melissa hurriedly shook her head. He no longer wanted to think much, so he could finally just bite his lips before saying reluctantly.

“Then please help!” he said with his head down. Looks really embarrassed because of the previous arrogance.

“Then it's done!” alexander replied casually.

After the dishes and used breakfast glasses are cleaned, Nene and Jane prepare to open a store. Alexander immediately went to Damian's shop to ask for his help. Meanwhile, Aurora was about to take the other two women out hunting, but was suddenly stopped by Melissa.

“What?” asked Aurora coldly.

“May I ask why you like Faust and want to be his partner?” ask Melissa.

Hearing Melissa's question, Aurora was stunned for a moment. Back then, he recalled his meeting with Alexander then the time they had passed together. It didn't seem like much of anything special, but there were a few small things that could be said.

Alexander may often behave like a criminal, likes to do cruel things to achieve his goals. Even so, to Aurora, she was a good colleague and teacher. Yes ... a teacher who is willing to teach him a lot of knowledge so that his ability increases when they hunt together.

While one of the most liked Aurora from Alexander is .. the nature of the man who always keeps his promises.

Alexander was evil, even cruel. However, once he made a promise, that person would never break it. Even if the promise is said to his own enemy.

“Isn't it because he's a little silly, and quite interesting,” Aurora replied gently.

Yep. To Aurora, Alexander's attitude was somewhat ridiculous. He clearly played the role of a ruthless criminal, but still upheld some important principles. It even sometimes looks like a real knight.

As Melissa thought, what Aurora called ridiculous was the Faust nature that liked to help people indiscriminately.

“Thank you for your answer,” said Melissa while nodding.

“If there are no other questions, we will go,” reply Aurora.

Afterwards, Melissa sees Aurora leaving with Daisy and Aster. Seeing their departure, the woman frowned. He looked down a little, a little confused.

“It seems ... I've seen this woman named Aura somewhere?” muttered.

The day she had to meet Annie Rosewald and get her help!

***

It was late afternoon.

Alexander sat in the office with a quite serious expression. A piece of paper that has a record of materials. Almost everything has been crossed out, and there are only two that have still not been crossed out.

“Why are these two ingredients so hard to find? If I can find it, then my training will be made easier. His speed also increased by at least double,” Alexander muttered with a depressed expression.

What Alexander was holding was a recipe for brewing medicinal wine. This type of wine is very strong with excellent effects because it is made of valuable materials. In fact, it was arguably more valuable than most potions.

The name of the wine was Golden Dawn. It was still a series, or rather the last level of wine recipe that Alexander knew about. First is the scarlet color, second the violet color, third the gold color (golden).

The wine had no name, so Alexander named it as Scarlet Dusk (dusk), Violet Midnight (midnight), and Golden Dawn (dawn).

Merely, it was extremely difficult to brew Golden Dawn wine. So hard, Alexander almost gave up. But the man still forced himself not to give up because the wine could help his mastery in the control of the third miracle root. It was because of its effect that strengthened the main body, so its control also increased.

Geck! Geck! Geck!

The sound of the door being knocked is heard. Alexander immediately folded the paper and kept it in his pocket. The man then said, “Masuk.”

After it opened, Aurora's figure entered the office.

“You're back? Is there a problem?” ask Alexander.

“Same as no problem. It's just, I have some doubts.”

Aurora frowned. Seeing Alexander gesturing to sit down, he immediately sat down on the chair opposite to the man. Directly looking at him with a serious expression on his face.

“Tell me, there are no outsiders among us,” said Alexander flatly.

“Are you interested in that woman, Melissa?” ask Aurora flat.

Alexander was instantly stunned on his face. After a while, the man suddenly laughed out loud. He wiped the corner of his eyes, seemingly a little unbearable.

“What's funny?” Aurora snorted coldly.

“No. Merely, I didn't expect that you would ask such a thing. Jealousy?” reply Alexander.

“Hmph!” Aurora snorted while turning her face away.

“I won't tease you. The reason why I treated Melissa so well is because ..”

Alexander began to explain what had happened before. When listening to his words, Aurora's expression changed completely. He looked at her with a strange expression.

“I've guessed. You are really not good,” said Aurora coldly, but the corner of her lips slightly rose.

Alexander shrugged his shoulders. He then got up while saying, “Since you're back, then I have to go to work.”

Alexander's hair was blackened. The man then removed the blindfold. As he took the mask off in the desk drawer, the man saw Aurora take his black robe. The woman helped him put on a robe and tidied it up a bit.

“You can work hard, but don't push yourself too hard. You have to remember, whether it's V or Faust Vermillion is just your side identity. You are still the Alexander I know,” Aurora said with a gentle smile on her face.

Alexander was stunned in place. The man smiled gently and then nodded. After that, he put on his mask and disappeared from the room.

Straight away from the Vermillion Shop quietly.

***

About half an hour later.

Alexander appeared on the outskirts of District 3 after circling around for quite a while. He did this to avoid tracking. Moreover, the Vermillion Shop and the place he had to watch were located in District 3.

Only, the man did not expect that there was already someone at the scene waiting for his appearance.

SWOOSH!

A white shadow figure fell from above, several meters in front of Alexander. The figure was wearing a white robe and mask with the inscription ‘IV’ on his forehead. At that very moment, the figure said.

“During not meeting, V. Looks like you've been living so comfortably lately?”
