Where the hell have you been this whole time...” Claire shouted, burning eyes penetrating Alexander
Alexander raised his hands and apologized. "I'm sorry, but I'm not good at fighting in groups. I prefer fighting alone. I was only going to hinder you."
“That makes sense...” Martins nodded
“Don't agree with everything he says.” Claire looked at her brother angrily
She was seriously injured and her friend died in a sudden explosion
After all this, she was forced to crawl on the ground and through the mud in order to implement her brother’s fighting strategy
She began to believe Alexander's words about her brother being a stalker because he was a professional at sneaking around and monitoring others
She had to admit that his strategy was somewhat useful because they were able to collect a lot of points and escape from facing a lot of dangerous enemies.
But what drove her crazy was that Alexander was enjoying himself while leaving them alone wallowing in the mud
“But what he said makes sense. He was able to reach second place.” Martins showed the list of heroes, in which Alexander was ranked second
Claire's face became more annoyed
Alexander opened the list of champions and saw that Daniel had eighty-four points
He is still in second place, but the difference between him and the third-place holder is only one point
With Edward's strength, he would definitely be able to catch up with him
He must take quick action to get more points and expand the distance between him and Edward
Alexander looked at Claire and Martins who were quarreling, and said with a serious face. “I have something important to discuss with you.”
The two stopped talking and looked at Alexander
He started moving with light steps. "Follow me..."
Martins and Claire looked at each other for a moment before following Alexander
Alexander led them to a cliff overlooking a deep abyss
Alexander stood on the edge of the abyss and looked into its depths without expression and said. “Come closer, please.”
Martins stood to his right while Claire stood to his left and looked into the abyss like Alexander does
The narrative has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the infringement.
None of them understood what exactly Alexander wanted
“When a person stands in a high place, he has a strange feeling of wanting to throw himself from that place.” Alexander said slowly
“...” He wouldn't throw himself out of here, right?
Claire looked at her brother in panic to stop Alexander in case he decided to do something crazy
Alexander took a step back to be behind them
The two turned to Alexander and turned their backs to the abyss
Alexander's expression became more difficult. “I want to prove to them that I can achieve something in my life. I do not have talents like my younger brother and older sister, and I have not become one of the chosen ones. But that does not mean that I will fall behind.”
"..." Martins and Claire were stunned by this sudden conversation, but they understood who Alexander was talking about
He's definitely talking about the Ford family that left him
Claire's eyes became softer. “You don't need to push yourself or you will collapse one day...”
In fact, these words were not directed towards Alexander only, but she was telling her brother that he did not have to do all these stupid things that restricted his freedom in order to please their father.
Martins agreed with their father that he would bear all the responsibilities related to the family, but that Claire should not be forced to enter into a political marriage against her will.
Martins wanted his sister to live a normal life away from these malicious conspiracies among the nobles
Claire did as her brother wished, she made friends, visited the places she wanted, and ate everything she wanted.
However, there was always a dark shadow in her heart
Every time she closed her eyes, she would imagine the scene of her brother, who was forced to stay in the palace to learn everything he needed in order to become the head of the family.
She gained the freedom she desired, but in return was the freedom of her brother
He was able to gain some freedom at the academy because he was away from the family's control, but he still had to maintain his behavior so as not to do anything that might tarnish their reputation.
All of this happened while they only belonged to a middle-level noble family. So she couldn't imagine how much pressure was put on the shoulders of Alexander who belonged to a superior noble family
Being abandoned by your family
How much pain did Alexander experience?
She wanted to help him, even if just a little. All she wanted was to see someone find their happiness so she could have hope that her brother would one day find his happiness.
“I'm with you…” A determined look appeared in Claire's eyes
“...” Alexander was shocked for a moment
He didn't expect that Claire would be the first to support him
He thought that Martins would be the first to jump to help him, but it seemed that Claire was more emotional than he thought
“Claire...” Martins whispered
He knew very well his sister's intentions, but he did not stop her, but instead returned his eyes to Alexander. "What's your plan?"
“The plan is simple, I will try to maintain second place.”
“But the difference between you and Edward Baldwin is very small, and he will probably catch up with you quickly...” Claire put her hand on her chin.
Martins shrugged. “I think third place is good too.”
“No…” Claire shook her head. “The higher his ranking, the better. He should try to maintain the second ranking.”
"This is why I need your help." Alexander placed his hands on their shoulders
Claire felt uncomfortable from his touch, but she decided to ignore it and asked. “What do you need us for?”
“It's simple...” Alexander smiled mysteriously. “All you need to do is take a short trip into the abyss.”
"...." Yes?
Claire felt that her body was floating in the air and then gradually began to fall into the abyss, where she could see Alexander's smiling face as he looked at them from above.
Eh?
---------------------
"Hahaha..."
Old Brad's wild laughter was the only thing ringing out in the quiet hall
Everyone was shocked by Alexander's action
The fight between Edward and Alexander has been the thing that has been occupying social media
Social media pioneers named Edward Baldwin the King of the Sword, and now they are calling Alexander the White Snake because of his snake-like method of infiltrating and killing his enemies.
Many criticized Alexander's style as violating the laws of straight horsemanship, but there are still those who support him, considering that the winner is the one who laughs in the end, regardless of his method of winning.
Unfortunately, this confrontation ended with Alexander escaping
The camera showed footage of Alexander talking to some people in the forest
This confused many people, but it did not take them long to realize that these people were his teammates
Alexander took them to a high place and started talking to them something, but the viewers could not hear the conversation between them
Viewers were starting to get bored because there was no action happening
Therefore, those responsible for the broadcast decided to change the camera and show scenes from other cameras
But before they could do that, something happened that shocked everyone with what Alexander did
He pushed his teammates off the cliff
The viewers, instructors, and test officials all stood in amazement
Although there was no law prohibiting killing your teammates, no one dared to betray their team because that would tarnish their reputation and everyone would start ostracizing them, and they would be labeled traitors for the rest of their lives.
But Alexander did this in front of millions of viewers
Alexander looked at the camera, which was floating hidden among the tree branches, and smiled brightly as he made the victory sign with his hand.
“...” There is definitely something wrong with this boy
