Chapter 416 414:My Wife Is A SS Rank Adventure
Alex swallowed his saliva seeing the dangerous gleam in her eyes.
"You are wrong Riya. I just felt a bit nostalgic seeing her. She looks a bit like Yvonne." Alex spoke with a saddened expression.
"Though she isn\'t equal to Yvonne\'s single hair."
Riya\'s expression eased a bit seeing Alex\'s nostalgic eyes.
"I wish we could have our organization here which could help us,"Alex muttered.
"We have managed to secure the footing in Kinley after a lot of hard work. Expanding our network throughout the world will be quite tough unless we have resources similar to Lockheart."Riya muttered.
Alex stuttered a bit but soon his eyes glowed brightly.
"Holy shit! How did I forget that?"
"There should be a branch of the Lockheart merchant group in Arkham. The trade routes may be jammed but communication would still be working."
Riya\'s eyes brightened and a beautiful smile appeared on her face which made it hard for Alex not to hug her.
Cough...Cough...
"Please show some restraint."
A middle-aged man came in which caused both Riya and Alex to separate.
He looked quite imposing with a large scar on his face.
"I am Paul and I am in charge of the adventure center here."
The man who introduced himself as Paul put forward his right hand and asked for a handshake.
Alex grabbed it with his right hand and felt a crushing force gripping his hand.
Alex looked at his hand and stared at the man blinking innocently.
"Paul, why are you tickling me?"
Paul\'s expression stiffened and he pulled back his hands.
He used this way to test the toughness of newbies and surprisingly this guy\'s hands are very hard.
Paul was an Epic rank at the age of 49 and was the branch manager of the adventure guild.
\'Filled with vitality and vigor but looks a little naive.\'
That was the impression Paul got from Alex initially.
Paul knows the psychology of people who want to become adventurers and treats them accordingly.
Paul introduced himself and asked Alex and Riya about his family, background, and the names of their parents.
There is no power in the guild to determine whether this was a lie or not and whatever they say was recorded.
Nevertheless, the reason for asking this question was to notice anything amiss.
Unless one is a skilled liar and could mask his expression, he would be caught easily.
"Now, I am going to stop asking you questions and measure your power level."
Paul asked them to place their hands on the orb while he pulled out a paper and started to write the information.
"Rex 21 years, Peak Disciple rank."
"Priya, 21 years, Early Disciple rank."
Alex and Riya had lowered their level and acted like a newbie who doesn\'t know the way of the world.
Seeing their lovey-dovey gaze, Paul sighed a bit and said"You two seemed to be a match made by heaven. The path that lies ahead may test you but don\'t give up on it so easily."
"Now do you see that dummy over there?"
"Attack it with everything you have got."
Riya\'s eyes widened and she felt as if this guy was asking this building to be blown away by Alex which made her back drenched in sweat.
She feared that Alex may blow away everything so she decided to make the first move.
Riya took a dagger and pounced on the puppet stabbing it multiple times causing many small holes to appear in it.
"Good!Next!"
Alex pulled a spear from the weapon stand and stood before the puppet.
The puppet seemed to be made of a material that could take on a Peak Epic rank attack.
Alex took a deep breath and regulated his breathing.
He pushed his left foot forward and bent his body backward shifting his centre of weight while garnering his strength.
Riya almost bit her nails due to anxiousness as she felt that Alex was going to blow the building.
Like a spring, his body shot forward and he thrust his spear
Swish!
A crimson light passed by and a hole appeared on the puppet\'s chest.
Riya\'s expression paled as a soft gush appeared in the room.
Unable to find anything wrong, Paul observed and analyzed them
Pondering for a moment, he spoke.
"Rex, I will give you an E, and Priya you will get an F grade silence."
"E..." Alex\'s expression became rotten as if he had stepped on shit.
The license grade was extended from G to S.
G was mostly given newbie who had just awakened and S to Legendary rank and above ranks
Even the Kingdoms and Empires had to treat them seriously.
With an E rank, he couldn\'t do much, and raising the grade would need a lot of time.
At the very least, he would be able to move around safely in Arkham.
"Don\'t be discouraged, kid. Your ability is enough to get you a D or C rank but you need to have some accomplishment to have that. Since you are new, I can only give you this for now."
After getting some encouragement, Alex wanted to speak something but Riya pulled him trying to get away as far as possible.
"Weird, why was the girl in such a hurry?"Paul muttered and thought that maybe the two had some other plans.
Paul walked toward the puppet with a hole in the chest but frowned when he noticed a small hole appeared on the wall.
"Did the attack penetrate till here?"Paul muttered and touched the hole.
Tap!
It was just a small tap and there was nothing wrong initially but soon the wall started to vibrate.
"What is happening?"
Paul shouted and his question was answered with the bricks of the wall falling over it.
DUSH!
A bigger section of the wall collapsed and the rubble spread all around.
"Paul, what the hell was that noise?"
With a loud shout, the red-haired woman entered and her eyes widened seeing the destruction.
From the piles of dust, a man covered in dust appeared and coughed violently.
"Paulllll!"
"Honey, I haven\'t done anything, please believe me."
The man who behaved like a calm person now became a scaredy cat in front of the women.
....
Meanwhile, the preparator of the incident walked normally on the street.
"Believe me Riya, I controlled my power."
"You shouldn\'t have used man, your mana must have invaded through the wall and broken it."
"He can think of it as compensation for giving me a low rank. If he was in Kinley he would be scared out of his wit just by my glance."
Noticing Alex\'s foul expression, Riya thought for a moment and spoke.
"My Lord, if you need something we can use the Licences I have made in Kinley."
Alex\'s steps halted and he asked"Licences."
Riya nodded and said, "I have all the grade licenses from E to S under me."
"I even had an SS rank license under the name Shadow Queen."
Alex felt his heart skipping a beat hearing Riya\'s words and he almost fell on his back.
"Who didn\'t you say it to me before?"
"You didn\'t ask," Riya spoke with a cute pout making Alex faint in disbelieving.
"It seems I should write a novel, My Wife Is an SS rank Adventurer," Alex spoke with a frustrated expression.
