Alexander walked in front towards the training site, and behind him walked Rafael and his group
His eyes were looking ahead, but his mind was busy thinking about the group walking behind him
The strange conversation he had had with them earlier was intended to buy time to examine each of them's level
He concluded that the only person who posed a mortal threat to him was this knight whose name was Boris
But the thing that made him even more worried was that the Ford family's attention was starting to focus on him
Despite the level Alexander reached in his previous life, he is now in a weak state. His spirit was strong, but it was still bound by the seals that locked the engineer inside his prison
Even as strong as his spirit was, his body was weak and he could not face people who were overwhelmingly superior to him
That's why he didn't want to mingle with the powerful people in this world directly
Although he had escaped the eyes of others until now, he could not rule out the possibility that someone would discover the truth about his reincarnation
Secret groups like the Mithraites possessed spiritual methods that made it difficult for anyone to escape their eyes
Henry Ford is one of the most powerful figures in the world. He is the right hand of the former emperor and one of the men who brought the empire through the era of chaos. What guarantee is there that this man might not suspect him?
However, he did not want to get ahead of things, because there was a possibility that sending Rafael here was just a test of the capabilities of the family heirs.
This was not strange to him because he had faced such a situation before
Superfamilies in the multiple worlds would send their heirs on missions to gain experience
There was a family that sent two of their heirs to kill him
He had to flee for several months, but they continued to chase him
They were like hounds chasing a rabbit
In the end, he managed to escape from their grasp
When he managed to reach a high level, he returned to them and beat up those bastard heirs and punched the face of the elders who used him as a hunting target, without respecting the lives of others.

But now is different because he is trapped in this world
His background represented a shield that many could not break
Despite all the chaos he caused at the academy, he was never expelled or punished severely
It's not that the Academy Council values him or that they consider him one of their most important students
They are just afraid of the old man who heads the Ford family
No instructor dared to touch Alexander's hair because they knew well Henry Ford's reputation
If they took action against him, Henry's reaction could not be expected
Even Frederic, who was considered one of the most important men of the empire, did not want to stand up to an ancient monster like the Hand of the King
If that wasn't the case, the academy council would have tied him up and thrown him out of the academy at the first trouble he caused
Of course there were limits he couldn't cross
He had an agreement with the Academy Council so they could not find any suitable excuse to justify the decision to expel him from the Academy in front of Henry. But he had to pay those debts because Frederic might exploit that to place additional restrictions on him with some flimsy pretexts, such as destroying property without paying compensation.
Alexander was happy to use the Ford family name because it saved him a lot of time and effort
Most of the Ford family lived on a remote, isolated island and rarely left
So they wouldn't know that Alexander was using Ford's name in this way
So why would he hesitate?
The problem now is that members of the Ford family have come here, and this will prevent him from using his family name as he did before.
Am I destined to live as a training target for young masters even after my reincarnation?... Alexander couldn't help but sigh at his fate
They arrived at the site of Silent Hill
Rustin was waiting for him there with his arms crossed and an annoyed face
But his expression became puzzled once he saw Rafael and his group
Rustin looked at Alexander with eyes that said, 'Who are these guys?'
Alexander began to introduce them, pointing first to Raphael. “This is Rafael, he is my cousin...”
“Um...” Rustin’s eyes widened and he looked at Rafael quickly. "I'm Rustin Cooper..."
Raphael nodded, not showing much response to Rustin's greeting
Alexander pointed to Boris. “This is Boris, he is the guard assigned to protect Rafael...”
Rustin greeted him politely, and Boris returned his greeting in kind
Then Alexander pointed to Angelica. " she-"
Alexander stopped and looked at Angelica carefully
"..." He realized that he didn't know this girl's name yet
Angelica realized his predicament so she introduced herself nonchalantly. "I'm Angelica Ford..."
Of course, Rustin made sure to greet her so as not to offend her
Raphael looked around strangely
This place was a treeless field and there was a medium-height hill
But the strangest thing is the giant rock tied with belts and ropes
And the.....
“Is that a whip?...” Rafael pointed to the whip that was on the ground
Angelica and the knights looked to where Raphael was pointing
There was a whip lying on the ground
“Oh...it's one of the training tools Rustin uses...”
"..." Everyone returned their strange looks to Rustin
What kind of training does this person undergo?...That's what they thought about
"No, it's not what you think..." Rustin extended his hand in a desperate attempt to correct the misunderstanding
But he didn't know how he should explain this
“…” Despite his desperate plea, none of them’s outlook on Rustin improved at all
Alexander started moving towards the giant rock, removed the ropes from it, and directed his words to Jeff with a quick look. "So, can you tell me the name of that organization? I'm sure I'm the most deserving person to know its name because they are planning to target me, as you know."
Jeff lowered his head and fell into deep thought
Alexander was unfazed by Jeff's silence and continued to pack his things in a large bag thrown to the side
Jeff took a deep breath and made his decision
This information had already spread
Even those kids sent by the Ford family knew the name of that organization
So Alexander had the right to know that too
“The name of the organization is Bloody Crescent...” Jeff said in a heavy tone
Alexander's hand, which was about to pick up the whip thrown on the ground, froze
Alexander straightened his body and looked at the sky for a moment
It didn't take long for Alexander to return his eyes to Jeff
Jeff was stunned for a moment
He didn't expect such a reaction
He expected Alexander to feel afraid or even show some anxiety
But Alexander's face showed almost no emotion
“Aren’t you worried?...” Jeff couldn’t stop himself from asking
Alexander smiled with a distorted smile. “Why should I worry when I am under the protection of the most powerful intelligence in the world?”
Jeff stared at him with a frown, he felt that this was not why Alexander was smiling in such a creepy way
