Chapter 111
Filled with a sense of entitlement, they all believed they deserve Alex more than Tracy. They believed Tracy was just born into a wealthy home and a good looking family, while they had to work their way up here. In their opinion, Alex is meant to recognize their effort and pick them over Tracy.
Meanwhile, Alex had no time to dwell on such silly thoughts. He was completely focused on the matters arising around him. In his hand was an extremely old model cell phone, probably used in the late 19’0s which still had keypads and not a touch screen like the normal android.
According to Tracy, he would be able to communicate with her from anywhere as long as he has the phone on him. He also had to deal with some issues which may come up in this expedition. He planned to go hunting alone, that way he can hunt down mutant beasts and use their beast cores without having to bring them back or arousing suspicion.
At his level, wolf threat level beasts are not a problem anymore so he didn’t have to worry much about his safety. He just wanted to make good use of this opportunity to strengthen himself as much as possible.
“I heard you fought Cherry twice and the unstoppable spear... that’s why you were awarded the best grade in the class but I don’t believe the stories entirely, there is something they ain’t telling us” Zero said while gazing at Alex with knitted eyebrows.
While the thought of Alex having a deviant ability or two did not cross his mind, Zero believed there is no way in which Alex can take on cherry and survive.
He strongly believed that Alex had some sort of hidden secret techniques they don’t know of or he had someone helping him and the testimony got raised, just to give him more fame. By the way, he and Alex are rated C grade on the IP watches.
“Yep, it wasn’t easy... Both times I ended up getting hurt real and nearly lost my life” Alex said calmly.
.....
“The problem with cherry resides in his ability... his defenses and versatility are top-notch but his explosive power is below standard even for a normal B-rated guardian. With sufficient defensive abilities and strong offensive power, anyone can hold out against him” Alex shrugged his shoulders.
He tried to remove all suspicion on him but what he did left people there amazed, including Miss Lane. How can someone speak so dismissively about a B-rated deviant!
The difference between the C ratings and the B ratings is like the difference between the heavens and earth! It’s not easily broken! Most deviants fail to cross that boundary all their life! So seeing Alex casually speak about it as if it’s nothing pissed Zero off even more.
He felt even more confident that Alex was trying to hide something.
“Last time I checked the Briggs don’t have any defensive martial arts technique... Your story doesn’t add up!” Zero said with a frown and people turned their gaze at Alex.
They can’t remember seeing him use any defensive martial art style in any of his battles so they were more inclined to believe Zero.
Xiu!
Alex’s body slowly turned silver as he used the silver statue technique, stunning everyone. The air around him changed using this ability and many deviants in here felt like if given a chance, they won’t be able to break through Alex’s defense!
“This handles my defense... The second stage of the Demon-kin secret technique is more than enough to handle my attack, plus my pseudo tiger threat level demon daggers... I believe that answers your question” Alex said indifferently before turning his gaze to the window again.
He didn’t seem too interested in the conversation. Alex only went this far to prove his innocence because he didn’t want anyone snooping around him in the name of trying to find out his secret, disturbing his privacy. So he believed it was best to clear out the misunderstanding now and that’s why he was diligent even though he found the question annoying!
Bam!
Zero punched the wall and gazed at Alex fiercely! The source of his anger was unknown and even other members of the God sect were stunned. They didn’t expect this sort of behavior, meanwhile, the indifferent face on Alex’s face vanished and transformed into a frown.
“Don’t fucking play with my intelligence boy! The gap between C-rated deviants and B-rated deviants is too vast! It’s not something you can cover with merger secret techniques and a failed beast gear!” Zero screamed in fury.
Boom!
At that moment Alex’s aura exploded and surged fiercely. His aura was a mixture of black and white aura and it fell on Zero like an ancient mountain. Making him gasp for air!
“You!” Zero screamed as he tried to release his power but it always shattered in his face.
“You dare talk down on the power of the Briggs yet you don’t have the power to back up such arrogant words.... This power is the reason the Briggs will always be the strongest of the Big four... Your feeble mind cannot. Your feeble mind cannot comprehend the power I wield so fuck off,” Alex said calmly and his fierce aura vanished, leaving Zero gasping for air while Alex simply say back and kept looking out the window indifferently.
Unknown to him the incident was recorded by other students and soon uploaded online with the caption, ‘This power is the reason why the Briggs are the strongest!’
In just a few minutes, it got over a hundred thousand views and still counting! Hotly debated online. Many people agreed now that after the internship event, other representatives of the big four cannot be compared to Alex in any way!
