“I am Martins Ainz, nice to meet you...” Martins extended his hand towards Alexander with a friendly smile.
Martins had grass-green hair like Claire and it was obvious that they were siblings
Alexander narrowed his eyes, looking suspiciously at Martins
“Is there a problem, Mr. Alexander?”
"Aren't you the stalker who has been following me for days?"
Although Martins was trying to hide himself while chasing Alexander, Alexander's awareness had reached a high level. Therefore, it was easy for Alexander to notice that someone was following him, especially since Martins was not of a high level of strength and did not possess advanced stealth capabilities.
“...” Martins was stunned for a moment
“Stalker?...” Claire took several steps away from Martins
“I'm not a stalker.” Martins tried to defend his reputation
“You have been following me in secret for several days. According to the dictionary, you meet the definition of stalker.”
“Why would you follow someone for days?” Claire asked disgustedly
"Claire! It's not what you think. I was doing this because of club duties." Martins shouted when he saw that a misunderstanding would develop
“Is there a club for stalkers?” Alexander asked
"No, I'm from the Press Club." Martins replied
“Aren't you the guys who have been spreading bad rumors about me?” Alexander smiled coldly
“Hahaha…” Martins giggled anxiously. “We're just doing our job.”
This is why I don't like journalists... Alexander sighed
He still does not know the goal of these two in their insistence on including him in their team
So he decided to ask directly. “Why do you want me to join your team?”
Martins's face became serious. “I've been observing you for a long time to get some exciting news, but I noticed your unique fighting skills. That's why I thought of including you in my team.”
Did you know this text is from a different site? Read the official version to support the creator.
Just this?... Alexander raised an eyebrow
Would he bring someone he didn't know personally into his team just because he saw his fighting skills?
It makes sense to try to attract powerful people, but you must take your time trying to gain their trust and loyalty
Therefore, it was illogical to invite someone you do not know and whose loyalty is not guaranteed to undergo an important test like this with you.
Alexander could betray them at any moment without blinking an eyelid
Well, it's in my favour. I better keep this up
“Does our team consist of just the three of us?”
“There are three of us, and my fiancée is also with us, but she could not come because she is busy with some matters.”
Alexander nodded
These two siblings belonged to a low-level noble family
Now he must research the background of Martins's fiancée
He was careful in choosing his prey so as not to provoke someone who should not be provoked
He didn't hit someone he didn't know just because he felt insulted or upset
Martins and his sister came to the Chemistry Club to discuss what they should do on the test
Martins was excited to see the club Alexander had created
Will there be some kind of toxic chemical? Or explosives capable of demolishing an entire building?
Martins looked curiously at the glass beaker on the hotplate
There was a reddish-black liquid boiling inside the beaker.
Alexander noticed Martins's looks at the beaker, so he got up and poured some of this liquid into two cups and placed it in front of Martins and Claire.
Martins swallowed his saliva as he looked at this cup with fear
His companion Quentin told him about that terrible poisonous liquid that Alexander had created
Does Alexander want to force me to drink this poison?
Martins looked at Alexander, who kept a neutral face while waiting for him to drink the cup
Martins saw that Claire raised the cup and was about to touch it to her lips
“Claire!...” Martins shouted and quickly slapped her hand, sending the cup flying and smashing against the wall
“...” Alexander stared in amazement at Martins
"Martine! Are you crazy?..." Claire shouted angrily
“This liquid?...” Martins was confused and did not know how to make Claire understand that this liquid might be poisonous
Alexander sighed and looked at the liquid spilled on the floor. “What a waste, this was the finest tea grown on the Gaba Plains.”
"...." Did he say tea?
Martins's eyes widened
“Was this tea?” Martins asked
“Yes, what could be otherwise?” Alexander answered, crossing his hands
"....." Who prepares tea this way?
Why not use regular tools designed for preparing tea?
Claire bowed quickly. "I apologize for my brother's clumsy behavior. He fell down the stairs when he was four years old and it seems to have affected his brain"
"Claire! We agreed that you would not talk about this matter to anyone outside the family."
“Do you think that I will defend you while you ruin the matter with your foolishness?”
“Well... I'm not interested in hearing such information.” Alexander interrupted their brotherly quarrel
“We came here to tell you that I have registered your name as part of our team. We will be transferred to the same area and work together to pass this test.”
“Understood...” Alexander answered simply
"Good, we'll be on our way." Martins pulled his sister and quickly left the room

"Is Gray going to be okay?"
"I don't know. I hope he doesn't get beaten by Alexander."
There were two students hiding behind one of the corners of the corridor and looking at the young man standing in front of the Chemistry Club door
Their names were Gon and Wilson, and they had come here to check on Gray, who insisted on joining the Chemistry Club run by the notorious Alexander.
Gray had brown hair and blue eyes, and his small body indicated that he was of the dwarven race
“Why did he have to choose the Chemistry Club out of all the clubs?” Wilson said bitterly
Gon sighed. "This is his choice. I could not convince him to give up this matter despite all my attempts."
Gray stepped forward and extended his hand to knock on the door
But his hand stopped midway, and his hesitation was clearly visible
After a moment of hesitation, he gathered his courage and knocked on the door
Knock!
After several seconds, the door slowly opened and Alexander extended his head
Alexander's eyes settled on Gray and he asked suspiciously. “Can I help you with anything?”
"I...I'm here to join the Chemistry Club." Gray stuttered
"....." Alexander stared blankly at Gray's face
“You want to join the club?”
" Ye—."
Before Gray could complete his sentence, Alexander grabbed him by the hand, dragging him into the room and closing the door.
"Graaay..." Gon shouted and tried to rush to save Gray
But Wilson grabbed him and screamed sadly. "He's done...You won't be able to save him. If you go there, you'll get beaten too."
Gon fell to his knees, hitting the ground with his fist and whispering desperately. "Gray..."
