Alex's eyes turned sharp and Incursio licked her lips. Without a doubt, those men are from the Chaos Organization.
''Good, let's hear your plan.'' Alex finally accepted Brycen's offer, the latter was happily unaware that Alex also have plans.
''Cough! Cough!'' Brycen coughed twice to clear up his throat before he started to explain his plan.
''My father will soon invite you to go on hunting but this is a plot used to get rid of you as he was working with those men in black. We will use this opportunity to kill him, I'll have my most trusted men sneak in and switch places with my father's men, so we will ambush him and you two will finish him. It won't be easy but this is my best plan. My father is a powerful Demigod, already level 155.''
''I see, this plan is not bad but there is something I must remind you.'' Alex declared after hearing Brycen's plan but for some reason, the latter felt a chill run down his spine. His heart tightened and a chill went down his back as cold sweat covered his hands and feet; a feeling of unease clawed at his heart.
''Tell me, what is it?" He asked while secretly activating the armor he was wearing underneath his clothes just in case.
Alex did not say anything right away, he just gestured to Incursio who smiled before disappearing.
''What?'' Brycen was shocked but this shock was soon replaced by a terrific impact, slamming into his stomach.
Bang! Crack!
He was sent flying to the other end of the room.
Waves of throbbing, nauseating pain pulsed within Brycen's abdomen and he felt like his dinner would return to him in an instant. His eyes darted all over, desperately searching for a way to relieve his body from this miserable feeling. It took him a minute or two to gather their composure, but conflicting thoughts still plagued his mind.
Soft moans and grunts escaped his mouth. Tired and frustrated he wanted it all to be over and done with. However, determined not to let the pain ruin things he struggled onward. Perhaps not the best solution, but he had made up their mind.
''Cough! Cough!" He coughed a mouthful of blood and with his eyes betraying his confusion he asked albeit with difficulty.
''....Why?"
However, all he received in response was Alex's cold eyes, an illusion that a third eye appeared on Alex's forehead before he saw.
A crushed and mangled body at the death's door.
''Crushed, everything is broken. My body is one big mess, I can feel it. There's a puddle of my blood and I'm lying in it. I guess this is the end of the line for me.
I'm on the floor, dying and in pain and to make matters worse something is poking me in the back. It seems I can't even die comfortably.
How long have I been here? How much longer will this take? There must be something I can do, right? There must be a way I can still live, I just need to find it. Think, think. There must be a way.
My mind is going blank, I can barely think. I'm so exhausted, I just want to close my eyes and sleep. No! No, if I sleep it means the end. I mustn't sleep. I must get out of here, but how? I can't think. Tired, oh so tired. Somebody find me please, find me and carry me home. Save me so I can sleep.
I can't be saved anymore, I know that now. I can feel it, my body is too broken to be saved. But please, somebody, find me anyway. I don't want to die alone. I need somebody by my side until my very end.
I'm exhausted, my eyes are heavy and my body is numb. I'm going to take a quick nap, I hope it's just a quick nap. But I need to close my eyes and rest for a while.
Remember me.'' Brycen declared before dying but unexpectedly he woke up in the outside world, sweating and sitting in his piss.
''Hah! Hah!... An illusion.'' He was scared beyond words, a powerful Saint, he couldn't stop shivering.
Upon seeing the shivering Brycen, Alex was satisfied and couldn't help but feel a little amused as the corners of his mouth perked up.
''Next time don't try to act smart. You aren't, I just came because I was bored and I have accepted your deal not because of how eloquent you were but because it's convenient. I can do whatever I want and nobody here can stop me.''
Leaving those words behind Alex and Incursio departed, the latter tossed the two corpses holding crushed memory stones. Often used for recording and sharing a video. One could imagine what those memory stones were for.
Thud! Thud!
Brycen's body shuddered upon hearing the two dead bodies fall to the ground, he didn't dare to look at them, while not Saints, those two were specialized in camouflage, so match that his father must not even be able to detect them.
''Sigh! Maybe I made the wrong choice.'' Brycen felt regret but it was too late to go back, all he could do was to pray for this mission to succeed with him keeping his life, he could accept becoming Alex's loyal dog forever.
°°°°°
Outside Incursio holding Alex's hand stared at the moon.
In monochrome musings the moon is a deep silver ballerina, turning pirouettes with perfect form.
''Beautiful,'' She commented and Alex nodded before announcing.
''I will let you handle this man. Do as you see fit.''
''Understood. To think that he would do exactly what you said. How predictable.''
''Well, it was to be expected. We wanted to play us. I'm leaving. I'll come back shortly later.'' Alex said before vanishing and Incursio didn't ask where he was going nor what he was going to do, she simply nodded before looking at a certain house with a playful smile.
Brycen had not finished suffering, he would learn the true meaning of hell tonight.
°°°°°°
A few hours later, in a deserted house, Alex emerged from.
''Status.'' He chanted.

〖Wow! After consuming this key, instead of gaining another skill, you received plenty of experience points instead. You must be happy that your level increased seven times in hours. Just a little bit and you'll step into the next realm, Bahamut must be furious over there.〗Silveria remarked but Alex only shrugged his shoulders, already busy thinking how to fill his exp bar to reach the next realm.
''Let's go, I have a contract to fulfill,'' Alex announced before using the Void Steps.
°°°°°°
In another location, Bahamut wasn't furious as Silveria and Alex thought but on the contrary, he was happy because this finally confirmed his guess.
''So, it was you Alexander Kael Touch.'' A chained human said, his jet black hair so long reached the ground and because his bang covered his eyes, they were not visible but one could feel eerieness from them.
Soon, someone entered the room entered and kneeled.
''Thanos pays respect to the Lord. Congratulations Lord Bahamut.''
