Chapter 178 Status and Deal
Alex looked at Glen and showed a slight smile.
"However, even if I can't tell you about my class yet, I can still talk about some other stuff that's related to it."
Glen's eyes lit up expectantly.
Just to confirm, Glen asked,
"Really?"
To which Alex just nodded.
Alex pondered for a second about what he can talk about with Glen.
After a while, he looked at Glen and said, "To start, my class is actually an Epic-rank."
"Epic?!"
Glen's eyes widened when he heard the first thing that came out of Alex's mouth.
In the Alter Dimension, each class also has their own respective ranks.
Common jobs such as warrior, archer, magicians, assassin, etc. are all just of Normal-rank.
While Knight, Ranger, Beast Tamer, Sorcerer, etc. are skills that have already stepped into the Rare-rank.
Beside those two ranks, there's still Epic-rank, which is the same as Alex's Dungeon Master class' rank.
And the other, Hero-rank, which is an inherently unique rank that only appears once every hundred years.
It's something that can only be considered by others as a legend in Alter Dimension.
Because of that, more often than not, Epic-rank class is actually being viewed by others as the highest rank of class attainable by people.
That's why Glen getting shocked by this is actually understandable.
You have to know that in their Raven Family, only Jonathan, his father, is the one who has an Epic-rank class!
Archmage!
This means that in their Raven family, only Jonathan is equal with Alex in terms of class!
Just knowing this fact is already shocking to Glen.
But Alex is not done yet.
With a cheeky smile, he asked, "Mr. Glen, I wonder if you know about Unique-rank skills?"
Glen was still immersed in his shock when Alex suddenly threw a question.
In a daze, he nodded, "Yeah, father has a Unique-rank skill."
Just as he said those words, Glen snapped out of his daze and hurriedly looked at Alex with an incredulous look in his eyes.
Pointing his finger at Alex, he said, "Y-you, don't tell me you also have a Unique-rank skill?!"
To that, Alex just smiled and slowly nodded his head.
Glen froze on the spot, his eyes fixated at Alex with a dumbfounded look on his face.
Even though he already expected it from the way Alex suddenly asked about it.
Glen still can't help but feel shocked with all this information that Alex is giving him.
'I don't even have a Unique skill but a kid who only started going to Alter Dimension just about a month ago actually has one?!'
Glen took a deep breath and tried to calm down himself.
Then he turned his attention back to Alex.
"You're really giving a lot of surprises today, Alex."
Glen stood up, grabbed a glass of water from the dispenser and drank it.
Then he looked back at Alex and asked, "So, can you tell me your reason for suddenly telling me such important information?"
Hearing that, the smile on Alex's face widened.
He said, "I know you'll understand it."
Alex stood up from his seat and walked towards Glen.
"Mr. Glen, in the past few weeks, I've come to realize that in this world, money is really not everything."
"That's because even if you have money, there are certain things that you still cannot control."
"That's when I realized that beside money, I also need status."
Saying that, Alex looked straight into Glen's eyes.
Glen immediately understood what Alex wanted to say.
"You mean, you want to build your connection and gain status, right?"
Alex nodded, "That's right. I want to start building up my own status."
He paused and looked sincerely at Glen, "To do that, I would like to ask for some help from the Raven Family."
Glen stared back at Alex without saying anything.
In Pearl City, the Raven family stood at the apex of the chain of status.
Even the mayor of Pearl City has to respect the Raven family whenever he sees them.
And within the whole nation, the Raven family still holds their own weight.
So, for Alex to just confidently say that he wants to 'use' their family to build his own status, Glen can't help but wonder what capital he has to say such words.
After a few seconds, Glen moved back to his seat and said, "You know that this isn't just a simple thing that we're talking about, right?"
"Yes, Mr. Glen."
Crossing his arms together, Glen asked, "Then, what will our family get from this? How are we going to benefit as well?"
Hearing that, Alex paused and put his hand on his chin to think about it.
To be honest, Alex doesn't really know what he could give to the Raven family.
After all, they are rich and already have high status here on Earth.
In Alter Dimension, Alex isn't really sure if there's something he can help them with.
Since they have been in the Alter Dimension for a much longer time than him, they are probably more knowledgeable about that place.
Plus, they should also have more in their arsenal compared to him.
That's why Alex can't really think of what he could do for them.
In the end, Alex gave up thinking and just said, "If you guys help me, you can ask me a favor anytime and I will do whatever it is once."
Hearing that, Glen's face didn't change at all.
However, on the inside, he's actually feeling elated!
Alex's potential is already visible to everyone, specially them, the Raven family.
Because of frequent contact between them, as well as the friendship of Kris and Alex, the relationship of the two parties are actually great.
So far, they still don't know what Alex is truly capable of.
But what he has shown is already enough for them to know that he will someday become a strong one.
Maybe even stronger than Jonathan, the strongest in the Raven family!
After remaining silent for a few seconds, Glen finally said, "Alright. Let's talk about it with my father later."
After saying that, Glen changed the topic, "Anyway, thank you for all the help that you gave us tonight, Alex."
"Without a doubt, your contribution is high in this operation."
"That's why, I will make sure that you get rewarded for your work."
Alex shook his head and waved his hand.
"You don't have to reward me. I was just doing what I think is right."
After a short pause, he added, "I just hope that you can put in a good word to Mr. Jonathan when we talk to him."
However, Glen said, "No need.This and that are different matters. Don't worry, I'll handle it."
"So, when I give you your reward, just accept it."
Alex stared at Glen for a while before sincerely saying, "Thank you, Mr. Glen!"
After that, the two waited for a while before Belle, along with Kris, arrived.
Tok! Tok! Tok!
"Come in."
The two ladies entered the office and immediately came to Glen.
Respectfully, Belle saluted, "Boss, we have finished our tasks of searching for infected beings!"
Glen nodded, "Okay, good work."
On the other hand, Kris looks depressed.
Seeing that, Alex curiously asked, "Oh, why do you look like that?"
His question also made Glen and Belle look at Kris.
Sighing, Kris sat down and said, "I went with Sister Belle to help them detect those infecteds but… I wasn't even of any help there."
Hearing that, Alex said, "Why? What happened?"
After sighing for the second time, Kris narrated what happened while she was away.
At Glen's order, she left with Belle and her team of elites who are all excellent in detecting skills.
At first, Kris felt confident that she will be of great help with them since she has an appraisal skill.
Also, since she just had a class change and even earned a bloodline, it boosted her confidence a lot.
But when they really get into action, Kris realized that she's really nothing compared to the elites of CPS.
At Belle's order, they immediately started going around, detecting a large area in just less than a minute.
Since they don't have a skill like [Tracker's Soul Searching] that can specifically look for a target, what they do is detect for any life nearby and use appraisal on it to see if it's infected.
Because of this, it takes a lot more time compared to Alex.
But their number was enough to compensate for this.
At the same time, when they find infected creatures, they immediately proceed with elimination.
Watching all that happen, Kris felt a bit confused and wasn't really able to provide much help.
