‘Did I hear the wrong news? Or did I go to a different world and meet a different Alexander?’
Looking towards Alexander whose appearance had not changed at all, Claude felt perplexed. At the time of hearing the words ‘Alexander and women’, he felt that something was wrong. The man really did not believe that Alexander had a relationship with women.
In Claude's brain, his best friend was the kind of straight steel man who had absolutely no interest in women. The person does not have crooked thoughts, but also does not think of romantic things.
Alexander's? Related to women?
Never imagined it!
After exchanging a few greetings, the men left. They didn't mean to stay any longer because they didn't really know Alexander.
Those people chose to say hello in hopes of getting to know the young man, which would eventually be beneficial to them. So do not choose to stay for fear of affecting his mood. Not only can they not be friends, they can be targeted.
Meanwhile, not only Claude, but the other three people were shocked as well. Although not as bad as Claude, they were also surprised to not expect that Alexander had developed and become so mature after almost two years of not meeting.
“You stay at Shelter 11 about two months?” ask Claude.
“Ya.” Alexander nodded lightly.
“Then why didn't you come looking for me? I can be your guide, man!” claude was not satisfied.
“Indeed I know you came to Shelter 11? I don't know,” replied Alexander while shrugging with a flat face.
“Ugh!” Claude was stunned for a moment. After a while, he immediately said with a dissatisfied expression. “You're really outrageous dude!”
“What?” Alexander tilted his head.
“You left Shelter 101 without saying goodbye to me. Besides, I don't know where you're going. I asked a lot of people, and supposedly they thought you would go to Shelter 11 which has more people suited to thrive.
Who would have thought you would instead choose the more dangerous Shelter 13. One year ago, I searched for information about you in Shelter 11 and couldn't find it. I thought I'd never see you again, buddy!”
Hearing that, Alexander slightly raised the corner of his lips. The young man poured wine into the cup then sipped it casually. After Claude started to become calmer, he asked.
“So what happened to you guys after I left?” ask Alexander.
“I put in a lot of effort to collect points to trade the evolution potion. At the end of the year, I managed to gather a level 1 evolution potion and split it up for Ronn, Kid, and Jimmy. Each of them obtained 4 evolutionary herbs.
It's not much, but you should know how difficult it is to earn points at the intermediate level shelter. However, I am also in a dilemma as it is difficult to bring them out without drinking some evolutionary herbs first. So I left in the spring of the following year.
After coming to Shelter 11, I just found out that the competition in this place is more fierce and there are more strong people. Within a year, I was desperately trying to earn points to exchange for a level 2 evolution potion.
As for Ronn, Jimmy, and Kid began to be independent. They said they didn't want to trouble me, so they worked hard on their own and collected six potions.
You could say, not much has changed. Just change places to collect points.
How're you? Aren't you having fun at Shelter 13? How can you improve so quickly?”
Claude looked towards Alexander. Although he left eight or nine months faster than himself, but that person had already broken through level 2. He himself was unsure of being able to break through level 2 in the next eight or nine months. So, the man was more curious about the adventure that Alexander went through.
“Actually not so special. I also changed the hunting grounds and collected points. The difference is, I found a pretty good and reliable colleague. With cooperation, we both can collect various materials faster.” Alexander said casually while recalling Aurora.
“What are those two women?” claude asked with a curious expression.
“Not.” Alexander shook his head. “The guy's gone. Split after we both broke through level 2 and got miracle root.”
“What about those two women? The twins? Brothers?” ask Claude.
“Daisy and Aster are cousins, not twins or siblings. Even so, their appearance was quite similar.
The two women were actually ordinary refugees. They had no life expectancy to get through the harsh winter. It just so happened that I was in charge of overseeing the slum district to prevent chaos and meet with them.
Daisy and Aster begged me to take them as private property (slaves). Coincidentally back then I also needed labor to take care of the house and take care of various materials while I was busy. I finally agreed to their request.”
After getting an explanation from Alexander, Claude was stunned for a moment. At first he thought that there would be a romantic story or something. However, the man ended up being let down with a story that was so realistic and happened a lot in all the shelters.
Claude looked at Alexander and asked, “Are they beautiful? You don't accept people in Shelter 101, don't even want to spend some food for fun.”
“Beautiful, but that's not the main one.” Alexander shrugged his shoulders. “At that time (in Shelter 13) I had the ability to support them, and indeed was in need of someone to be my follower. As simple as that.”
Claude nodded lightly. He knew that Alexander was different from him. The young man had a hard time trusting others. Rather than assigning the younger brothers (subordinates) to help, Alexander preferred to raise more trusted slaves because such people had lost their freedom.
“You didn't treat them badly right?” asked Claude with narrowed eyes.
Hearing the question, Alexander smiled. The young man then said, “If I don't remember wrongly, Daisy and Aster looked like sticks (dry-thin) when they first discovered them. Now they look beautiful and make a lot of men fascinated because of their beauty. Could it be that I treated them badly?”
“You have a point.” Claude nodded lightly. “Why not take them out?”
“You're stupid or I'm stupid?” alexander was relaxed. “For what do I take them out night-night? Besides, they don't know you.”
“It ..” Claude stunned.
“Omong-by the way, how about you? You are ‘roman’ men when in Shelter 101. Does that kind of thing happen here? Could that be the reason why you are so slow?” alexander said with a slightly cynical smile.
‘I? Slow?’
Claude was stunned in his place. Clearly his speed in gathering potions belonged to the best category. It was so fast that many people were amazed at him. However, in the mouth of his own best friend .. turned out he was slow?
“You are too fast, K-parat!” claude exclaimed with a dissatisfied expression. “If I'm busy with women, how can I be this fast?”
“You have a point. But it has nothing to do with my question. Do you have someone you like or something? I was really curious,” Alexander said as he leaned against the wooden wall with a lazy expression.
“O-Omong blank what you said!” exclaim Claude.
“Oh? Turns out there are women who make this romantic guy awkward and nervous?” ejek Alexander's.
“Enough Al. I'm not talking about these things, can we talk about something else? If not, just go back and sleep!” claude said in a dissatisfied tone.
“It just so happens that I don't want to discuss this kind of thing either. There's something else I want to talk about, and I don't know if you want to answer it or not.”
Alexander stopped leaning. He sat quite upright and his expression became even more serious.
The reason why Alexander met Claude wasn't just because he wanted to see him or talk about the past. Instead, the young man came across bad news so wanted to ascertain the truth. After all, it still had something to do with his best friend.
“Is something wrong?” claude asked with a doubtful expression.
“Claude. Is the rumor true? Are you ..”
Alexander's eyes narrowed.
“Areally being targeted by Aunt Ma?”
