BXBX NOVEL Chapter 84: Telling Olivia and Quartz
"Fine, then Alex, why do you call me aunt while you call this chibi big sister?" Quartz asked.
She doesn\'t really care, but it annoys her to receive different treatment. It also makes her feel older.
Olivia chuckled upon hearing this, "Just accept your fate, Aunt."
"You chibi, what did you call me?"
"Look, I am Alex\'s big sister, and he calls you aunt, so I should call you aunt, too. Otherwise, the hierarchy will be weird," Olivia said, laughing.
This made Quartz\'s veins pop as she demanded Alex change how he addresses her. Emily, meanwhile, tried hard to hold her laughter, knowing if she laughed, Alex would start pulling her into the fray.
Luckily, before Alex could say anything, the food arrived, and they then had an enjoyable meal together, lifting Alex\'s mood. It didn\'t take long for them to return to SGE. Alex brought them to the forests behind the facility.
He took out the Awe cube from his storage ring.
Seeing a box appear in his hand surprised Quartz and Olivia. They knew about the Awe Cube and even got one from Emily.
But to use it, they needed to point and press a button on the dashboard. But before they could say anything, their surprise deepened.
"Come out, Petricia."
A light appeared, materializing into the beautiful high goblin. Petricia quickly kneeled in front of Alex, "Your order, King."
"This is my family, my aunt Quartz and big sister Olivia. Greet them."
Petricia stood up, then bowed politely toward them.
As a goblin, she was already used to seeing someone at Olivia\'s height, so she didn\'t find it weird. Instead, she felt quite tall compared to a normal goblin.
"Greetings, Lady Quartz, Lady Olivia."
At first, she wanted to call them princesses, but Emily taught her to call others sir and lady. They often had some talk when Emily visited the goblin kids.
"Alright, that is enough, Petricia. You can return." Alex then called her back to the Awe cube.
Olivia and Quartz still looked at it, stupefied.
They understood the implication of what Alex did, and seeing how the goblin treated him like a king meant she was absolutely loyal.
"Ho... How?" Quartz asked.
Returning to her senses, Olivia walked toward Alex and raised both hands up with open palms. Alex remembered that gesture.
He looked at Emily, who held back her laughter.
"Good things should be shared with family. Give me one," Olivia said, as if it were common sense.
Emily couldn\'t hold it and laughed out loud. She learned that saying when she often hung out with guild members.
Her father always said it every time they had an after-party to share the dungeon loot.
The same is true at every holiday or good event; it\'s like the Suzaku guild motto at this point. But Alex didn\'t know this, so he thought Emily was the one putting Olivia up to it.
But he shook off the thought since he believed Emily wouldn\'t tell her about the Awe system.
With a sigh, Alex replied, "I can catch one for you. Just tell me what kind of monster you want."
Olivia grinned, putting her finger over her chin as she thought about what she wanted. She felt happy. Alex agreed quickly.
Feeling the glare from Quartz, Alex added, "Of course, you too, Aunt. You can ask for it, but I think I don\'t need to point out we need to keep this system a secret."
Quartz nodded. She understood the implication of this. Basically, Alex could have as much military power as he wanted at any time, something unprecedented.
"Don\'t worry. I won\'t use it in front of other people. So, do you have any limitations? How many can you bring?"
"As many as I catch, Aunt. That is why I am sure we have a way to go there." What he needed now was to raise his personal strength and make as many Awe boxes as he could.
"How did you achieve this, Alex?" Quartz asked.
In response to this, Alex took out two low-quality qi crystals and gave them to Olivia and Quartz. Feeling the energy inside, they realized it was different from Mana.
Alex then told them about the cultivation system, but he still didn\'t tell them where he got it or anything about Vesa.
Even though he trusted them, for now, he wanted as few people as possible to know about Vesa. If not because of his hunger, Alex would also still hide it from Emily.
"Both of you can use that to reach the foundation realm. It should be enough to use the storage ring." Alex then sighed as this reminded him of the astronomical amount of money he needed to get more high-grade mana crystals.
Looking at Quartz and Olivia, Alex then remembers the reason he needed many crystals was because he is a progenitor.
The cost of doing it for them should be cheaper. But he quickly shook off the thought; they are not strangers. He cannot just test new methods on them, making them guinea pigs. Even for strangers, Alex will feel guilty doing it.
It\'s better to test it first on some criminals, but Emily has already left her job, and after some further thought, taking them on official missions is not that easy.
The report will check where the body is if it\'s reported dead. "It seems I need to do it with my own hands. Look for some dark hunter to catch."
Emily and Olivia frowned, seeing Alex\'s expression.
"Bro, you\'re thinking of doing something dangerous again, right?" Emily asked with concern.
Olivia nodded, "I won\'t ask where you got all this, Alex, but are you alright? What kind of danger do you need to face for all this?"
