Apocalypse After

A Trust

After finishing his business, Alexander immediately brought the two women back to his rented house.

Arriving there, the young man unlocked the door and glanced at Daisy and Aster. Having already chosen to take them, he no longer maintained the kind and warm expression he had before. With a flat expression on his face, Alexander gestured.

“Log in. Get used to it because from now on this will also be your residence.”

Hearing Alexander's words, Daisy and Aster looked at each other. Both of them were a little nervous. Not to mention, the necklace they were wearing now signified their position. Even if faced with something bad, they can only resign themselves to making the wrong decision.

Upon entering the house, Daisy and Aster are shocked. Not only was the main room wider, but it was also clean. Compared to this room, the place they occupied was more like a cage.

Even so, the two women also knew their position, they would not sleep on the bed. Where they will be placed is up to Alexander. If they are told to sleep on the corner floor of the room, they must accept. Even if told to sleep outside they did not dare to refuse.

Alexander closed the door and locked it. Although only one lantern lit up, the room was still quite bright. He glanced towards the two women for a moment.

“Sit down, I'll be busy for a while. You can sit anywhere, but do not touch any equipment or materials.”

After saying that, Alexander went to the food storage room and the potion ingredients. In the room, he stored a lot of foodstuffs and low-grade materials. It was also a room that was connected to the basement.

The room was not very large, but it was still quite loose because he separated such materials with materials making weapons or other equipment. However, today he had to move some items.

Alexander shifted the shelves and divided the room into two sides. One side for foodstuffs and potions, the other side is empty, but will be used to store equipment. While the rest of the level one raw materials to make the equipment would be left to remain in the previous room.

On exiting the room, Alexander saw Daisy and Aster sitting on the corner floor of the room. Close enough to the exit. Even so, there were no angry or sad expressions on their faces. Both of them just waited quietly.

“Why are you guys sitting there?” alexander asked flatly.

“A-Do we disturb the scenery, Sir?” daisy replied with a nervous expression.

“There are two seats, sit and wait there. I'll move things first.”

Not waiting for the answer of the two, Alexander immediately went to another room. He took out a dagger, a sword, a spear, a small round shield, a rope, and some other equipment. The young man ignores Daisy and Aster, busy moving box by box alone.

It was not that Alexander was afraid that they were exhausted, but that young man was too cautious. There were some rather vulnerable objects, so the young man didn't want anyone else to hold them. Even Aurora who had known him for a long time was rejected, making the girl say that he was too stingy.

Aurora had a chance to argue, but was eventually struck to the point of being dizzy by the young man's words.

‘What if you break it? It costs hundreds of contribution points! You want to pay for it?’

‘What if you blow it up? Smoke is smelly and still makes poisoning if inhaled too long! You want to pay for it?’

‘What if you destroy it? It's one of my powerful poison collections and you could die from it. If you die, how can I charge it?’

Sentence ‘mau pay?’ without caring about his life, his death makes Aurora go black. He was completely defeated by Alexander. So when visiting, the woman will sit obediently without trying to touch this and that.

After moving the goods and cleaning the room, Alexander nodded in satisfaction.

“Although there are several boxes and shelves containing materials for making items, but there is still enough room for a bed. They can sleep here,” muttered the young man.

After that, Alexander walked out of the room. Looking towards Daisy and Aster who were waiting obediently but looked nervous, he let out a long sigh. A moment considering everything, the young man said.

“Because I have not prepared the bed, tonight you sleep in the bed.”

Hearing Alexander's words, the two women looked at each other. Turning his gaze towards their master, the two replied, “Good, Mr.”

Alexander nodded lightly then went to the storage room. After locking the door, he went down to the basement.

The young man then placed the glowing mosses as lighting and sat down in his chair. Looking at the neatly arranged ingredients but not much, the young man began to mutter softly.

“Really? Did I put a horse in front of the carriage? This is not a wrong move, right? What if they're blocking me? Just give them food and have them clean up? It can be done but it is a bit in vain.

I can do it that way, but .. the cost is big enough for a level 1 hunter to bear. However, if they do not, their loyalty becomes uncertain. There's a chance they'll betray.”

Alexander stroked his chin while continuing to consider everything. After nearly an hour, the young man finally made a decision. Gritting his teeth, he took out a pill concocting ingredient that was almost worth the ingredients of a level 2 evolution herb.

Alexander had collected and preserved those dried materials for use when he broke through level 3. Only, he did not expect that he would use it so early.

After busy weighing, sifting, boiling, and mixing various ingredients for approximately an hour, two grains of purple marble-sized pills appeared. It really looks beautiful and pretty, even smells nice.

Although it looked beautiful, it was two poison pills.

“Compared to me, you're more naive, Big Brother Fool. If you force her to take poison pills, things won't end like this.”

Shaking his head, Alexander took the two pills and walked out of the basement. He closed the door to the basement, then just came out of the grocery storage room.

At the moment of coming out, the young man was stunned in his place for a moment.

Alexander looked at the two women lying on his bed. The problem is, Daisy and Aster take everything off, only covering part of their bodies with a blanket. Looking at the two beautiful figures who looked pale and cold from waiting for too long, he could not help but say.

“Are you two stupid?” ask Alexander.

The first sentence that came out of the young man's mouth left Daisy and Aster stunned at their spot. Both of them were a bit embarrassed and confused. After all, only this time had their status been lowered and had no idea what to do.

“Keep your clothes. I'm really not in the mood to think about such things.”

Hearing Alexander's words, the two women nodded.

“Good, Mr.”

Alexander sat in a chair. He did not turn around at all and watched quietly. Ignoring the two women who looked embarrassed, the young man was still watching with a flat expression on his face. Although it felt a bit hot, but he managed to suppress it.

A little while later, Daisy and Aster were already dressed to sit on the edge of the bed while waiting for Alexander's orders.

After a while of calming down, Alexander asked, “Do you regret it?”

“No, Sir. We do not regret this choice at all,” said Daisy firmly.

The woman knew that Alexander was still not very satisfied with them. With their current status, angering the young man meant asking for death. So he immediately took the initiative to answer everything well and obey.

Seeing the reaction of the two women, Alexander shook his head lightly.

“Even if you obey all my words, I will not trust you too much,” said Alexander flatly.

The young man's words clearly made Daisy and Aster feel disappointed. The two of them had obviously given everything, but the young man had absolutely no concern for it.

“However, there is something that can make me trust you guys.”

Hearing that, Daisy and Aster's originally dull eyes instantly sparkled. Without the slightest hesitation, the two women said in unison.

“Please tell us, Mister!”

Their answer made Alexander quite satisfied. The young man took out a purple pill that looked beautiful and sweet-scented. After that, he said.

“Take these pills. If I do, I will trust you.”

Daisy and Aster look at each other. From the looks of it, they thought that the pill was something that would make them hot. Such things are sometimes sold in District 3, and as women.

Without the slightest doubt, Daisy and Aster took the pill and swallowed it.

Merely, instead of feeling his body hot, the two women suddenly collapsed to the floor while gripping their chests with extremely painful expressions. Cold sweat soaked their bodies, and they continued to tremble.

After some time, the pain sensation completely disappeared and the two women were lying on the floor with relieved expressions.

Just then, Alexander's flat voice rang out in their ears.

“What a obedient little girl. I quite like your assertiveness.

It was a poison pill. It only hurts in the beginning, but it is rooted in your body. If you don't drink the potion that I concoct within a month, the poison will make your body feel pain. Several times more painful than this, even culminating in death.

That means, I can let you all be tormented before death. Besides, if I die, you'll also die a month later. Even if you try to escape, I don't think you will find an antidote.

So, now your lives are really tied to me.”

After hearing that, the two women looked up at Alexander only to see a pair of eyes watching you. Not eyes filled with desire or hatred ...

But a pair of eyes filled with indifference.
