BXBX NOVEL Chapter 185 Mane
Chapter 185 Mane
Alex opened his eyes and saw the notification.
It was actually a message from a friend.
And beside Kris, Alex has no other friends in the World System.
"Hmm, I just left her condo, huh. Why is she suddenly messaging me here now?"
Lazily, Alex opened the message from Kris.
[Kris: Alex, Uncle Glen said he was calling you but you weren't answering.]
After reading Kris' message, Alex sat up straight and frowned,
"Huh? Mister Glen was calling me?"
Alex took out his phone from his pocket and tried to open it.
But after a while, Alex realized that his phone's battery had drained.
Scratching his head, Alex sighed and charged his phone first.
After doing that, Alex put his eyes back onto the messaging interface and replied to Kris.
[Zero: Tell Mr. Glen that I didn't notice. My phone died when I was on my way home.]
Just a few seconds later, Kris sent another message.
[Kris: Alright, I already told him.]
[Kris: Anyway, Uncle wants to meet you right now. He said something happened with the corpse yesterday.]
Seeing the following message, Alex suddenly frowned.
"Something happened to the corpse?"
With confusion, Alex asked,
[Zero: Huh? Did he tell you what it was all about?]
[Kris: No. You should just ask him yourself.]
Still puzzled, Alex said,
[Zero: Okay. I'll send him a message after I charge my phone a little.]
[Kris: Good.]
Dismissing the messaging box, Alex looked at his phone and saw that it finally turned on.
"Let's see…"
Alex took his phone and saw that there were indeed messages and missed calls from Glen.
So, after thinking about it, Alex sent a reply, asking what Glen needs.
Just as the message got sent, his phone started ringing.
Ring~ Ring~
Looking at the caller's name, it was Glen who he just messaged.
Alex answered the call, "Hello, Mr. Glen!"
On the other end of the call, Glen spoke with a serious tone.
"Alex, something happened. I need you to come here urgently!"
"Can you tell me a bit about it?" Alex said with uncertainty.
For a moment, Glen remained silent before letting out a sigh, saying,
"The corpse of the Corruptor that we took back yesterday, after our scientists studied it for a while, they discovered that it actually has some deadly virus in it!"
Alex's eyes suddenly changed when he heard Glen's words.
"Is that true?!"
Alex can't help but think of a time a few years ago.
A new virus suddenly started spreading from various countries.
It was sudden and no one expected it.
In the end, that certain virus continuously took the lives of countless people until a vaccine was developed for it.
Only then did the number of casualties slowly dwindle.
However, that deadly virus still took the lives of millions of people in only a few months.
Thinking back to it now, Alex suddenly made a guess in his heart about the source of that unknown virus from before.
Anyway, after hearing about Glen's words, Alex knows that this is an important matter that cannot be delayed.
So, he said, "Alright, Mr. Glen, I'll head there immediately."
After that, Glen told Alex the address of the laboratory before hanging up the call.
Putting down the phone, Alex sighed,
"Hais… I just got home but I need to leave again."
Shaking his head, Alex decided to change his clothes since until now, he's still in his uniform.
He went to his bedroom and changed his clothes before leaving the house.
Before going, Alex looked at the address one last time before bursting out, jumping to the roof of the 'nearest' house and started running.
Wearing a black hoodie and gray sweatpants, Alex ran freely.
Going at full speed, it didn't even take a minute for Alex to arrive at the address given by Glen.
Jumping down from the roof, Alex looked at the old dilapidated books store in front of him and checked the address again.
"Huh? A bookstore? Did Mr. Glen sent me the wrong address?"
Scratching his head, Alex decided to send a message to Glen.
[Mr. Glen, I'm already outside of the address you gave. Did you send the wrong one? There's only a bookstore here.]
After a few seconds, Glen replied,
[No, that's the right place. Just wait for a minute, I'll send someone to pick you up.]
Seeing that, Alex relaxed and waited for the person Glen sent patiently.
Not long later, a girl in twintails with a childish temperament came out of the books store.
She approached Alex and asked, "Uhm, excuse me, are you Mr. Alex?"
Alex looked at the girl and immediately understood that she's Glen's person.
Nodding, Alex replied, "That's right. Mr. Glen should have sent you, right?"
"Ah, yes, yes." The girl hurriedly nodded, "Please come inside. I will lead the way to the Boss' office."
The both of them entered the bookstore and went deeper inside it.
Then, on a desolate corner, the girl pulled one book that was on the shelf and suddenly, the shelf started rotating.
Brrrom!
A dark passage became visible to the two.
Turning to look at Alex, the girl said, "Please follow me."
She continued walking, entering the passage without hesitation.
Seeing that, Alex followed while looking at the bookshelf with curiosity.
Boom!
When the bookshelf behind them finally closed, light suddenly lit up and the previously dark passage has now become fully visible.
It was actually a modern hallway, just like any other building.
'It's more normal than I expected.'
Alex commented in his mind.
Without stopping, the two continued on their way.
After a while, the girl finally stopped in front of a door with a sign that says 'Leader's Office' on it.
The girl knocked on the door.
Tok! Tok! Tok!
Then, Alex heard Glen's voice from inside the room.
"Come in."
With his permission, the girl opened the door and entered the office.
Following behind her, Alex saw that Glen was sitting in a chair behind the table with a deep frown on his face.
Alex opened his eyes and saw the notification.
It was actually a message from a friend.
And beside Kris, Alex has no other friends in the World System.
"Hmm, I just left her condo, huh. Why is she suddenly messaging me here now?"
Lazily, Alex opened the message from Kris.
[Kris: Alex, Uncle Glen said he was calling you but you weren't answering.]
After reading Kris' message, Alex sat up straight and frowned,
"Huh? Mister Glen was calling me?"
Alex took out his phone from his pocket and tried to open it.
But after a while, Alex realized that his phone's battery had drained.
"Oh, I didn't notice that. Let me charge you for a second."
…
"I am Paula Leonel, daughter of the great general, Borong Leonel!"
Paula spoke in an awe-inspiring way, in hopes that she can amaze Alex.
That way, she can have an advantage later when they start talking.
However, when she took a peek at Alex's reaction, she just saw him staring back at her with a blank look.
Paula staggered, then she said, "Don't you feel amazed or anything?"
"Huh?" Alex tilted his head slightly and confusedly said, "Is there anything amazing about what you just said?"
Paula almost fell down to the ground after hearing Alex's words.
Her father, Borong Leonel, is a great general of the Kyisis Kingdom.
Borong Leonel, a great general who managed to defend the border of Kyisis Kingdom from the invasion of an enemy kingdom, all on his own!
And this is not just a one time thing.
Borong Leonel has done this again and because of that, he even acquired the title, One Man Fortress!
As a general, he had countless achievements and was known throughout the whole Kyisis kingdom.
Even those neighboring kingdoms knew of his name and some even feared it!
Now, seeing Alex's nonchalant attitude, Paula can't help but ask, "You, don't you know anything about my father?"
At her sudden question, Alex frowned, "Your father? You said his name is Borong Leonel, right? What's the matter with it?"
After paying their bill, Alex and the kids left the restaurant.
But before they left, Alex made sure to ask Chichi where he could find the owners of Dragon Diner.
Walking out of Riveria restaurant, Alex and the kids headed to the stables where Ferri and Blaze are resting.
By the way, Alex also ordered food for them earlier so while they are eating inside, Ferri and Blaze are also doing the same.
When they arrive at the stable, Ferri and Blaze are also done eating.
Feeling the presence of Alex and the kids approaching, the two monsters already got while looking in the direction where Alex and the kids are coming from.
When Alex saw the two, he waved and said, "Hey, Ferri and Blaze, did you guys like the food?
Ferri nodded humanely and barked, "Woof, woof!"
On the other hand, Blaze looks nonchalant as he nodded indifferently.
