Gacha Sovereign

Alex and Putri arrived at Green Star City at night, so they searched for an inn before going to rest for a while. The next day, they went to the restaurant, the name of the restaurant was Joyful Reunion. It was a pretty small restaurant, but the business was brimming with people. Putri asked for a table of two, and they were led to the second floor. For today, she covered her face with a veil. She didn't put a veil back when she was in the mission. And he recalled when he met her with Song Yu in Shades City, she also didn't cover her face with a veil.

She only said to avoid trouble. It seems, she didn't put her veil when she traveled with Song Yu, no one will bother her since Song Yu was a 4-Star Martial Lord. But now that she was traveling with Alex, who was only a 7-Star Martial Master. It was a bit troublesome. She said the one who controlled this city was a Martial Lord. She said it was troublesome if some idiot Young Master bothered her with this small problem, thinking they ruled the 'world' which actually only a small city/cage. If it was the city where the city lord was a 5-Star Martial Grandmaster, she could just beat the parents to shut them up.

Unfortunately, this city had a higher cultivation, she wasn't confident if she can beat their parents. So, it would be better to avoid the problem. Although the identity as Heavenly Sword Sect was useful, if they faced a madman, they will be killed without caring about the consequences. She said there were some cases like that. After they were killed by mad parents like that, their master or senior also took revenge for him/her. But even so, their life had gone.

Alex also nodded in agreement. They came inside the restaurant, and a waitress came to them. When Putri asked about what he wanted to eat, Alex only put his hands up and said, "I leave it to Senior Sister."

Putri ordered some food and wine. Although they didn't need to eat, for a change of pace, sometimes it was proven to be effective. Especially to adjust their state of mine. The wine was very soothing, from the aroma alone can soothe his heart. When he sipped the wine, he can't help but recall the honeymoon he had with Firia and Alicia. He knew why this restaurant was called Joyful Reunion.

He and Putri relaxed a bit.

He thought they could have some peaceful days before suddenly someone came to the restaurant. The one who came was a Young Man with long yellow hair, he let his clothes loose, it showed his well built body. Arrogant expression and fancy clothes. There were two old men behind him.

"Welcome Young Master Archie Bell" the managed immediately came out to greet him, the moment he entered the restaurant.

Alex frowned and sighed as he looked at Putri, His eyes telling her, 'What the heck with this situation.'

'Don't ask me.'

Alex looked at Putri's annoyed expression. It seems she was also thinking the same as him. Both of their eyes locked, and surprisingly, they understood each other intention. They nodded. 'Let's leave.'

"I want this whole floor. I will pay for their bill. Make them leave."

Alex and Putri stood up, and they were leaving like others. Before suddenly,

"Wait!" The so called Archie Bell shouted, "You the woman with a green hair. You can't leave, you will need to drink with me."

Alex and Putri's face darkened. They thought the same thing, 'Why do people like this exist...'

Putri looked at Archie Bell, she looked down on him. "You are not qualified."

"You!" Archie Bell was enraged, this was the first time he was told by a woman like that. Many women had come to him and wanted to serve him. But this woman just told him, he wasn't qualified. "Don't you know who I am? I am Archie Bell, the second Young Master of Bell Family. My family will be a prominent family in the capital city soon. It was your good fortune to have me taken a liking on you."

Archie Bell said like that. But it was a different feeling to one of the old men behind him, he recognized the woman in green. It was 'her' and when she looked at the young man beside her, he confirmed it was really them. He knew it was them because he was the spy.

"Bell Family? can they be compared to Heavenly Sword Sect?" She snorted.

The spy said to Archie Bell. "Young Master, She is the disciple of the Ninth Elder in Heavenly Sword Sect. It would be better for you to apologize now."

"What?" Archie was shocked, but to the old man's surprise, he said back to him. "That's good. If I'm not wrong, she was one of the flowers inside the Heavenly Sword Sect. She would be a perfect fit for me. Our family will rise from now to a scale that even the Heavenly Sword Sect can't compare."

The old man wanted to slap this Archie. He thought by apologizing here and now. They can make Putri and Alex's guard down. Then, after he reported to the family head. They can ambush and kill them since they unknowingly ruined their plan. Of course, Archie didn't know about it. He blurted all of that. Now they looked like they were looking down on Heavenly Sword Sect.

Putri released her 7-Star Martial Grandmaster Spiritual Energy. She narrowed her eyes as her killing intent was released. "It seems, there is someone who looks down on Heavenly Sword Sect. Good, I will report this to the sect. We will see if you can say it again after that."

"Hmph, Capture her! I will play her tonight, we will see if you can say it again after that" Archie didn't care about that. He was really an idiot. He ordered the two old men to capture her. He even used the same words as her.

And just like that, he completely enraged Putri. Alex activated his Spirit Eyes. The old men behind Archie were 6-Star and 7-Star Martial Grandmaster, respectively. But there was something bothering him, he sensed a tinge red of energy inside them. He felt it familiar from somewhere. He finally remembered where he saw an energy like that. It was coming from the blood pill that the evil cult.

But he felt something wrong, the previous energy from the evil cult, it was some blood red energy that made the user Spiritual Energy spike and let them had a stronger power. However, the energy in these two old men's body, it was mellowed a bit. It nurtured their power and slowly made them stronger. Alex frowned.

The old man who acted as a spy immediately slapped Archie. He looked at Putri and Alex. "I'm very sorry about this disturbance. He was too young and too spoiled, so he said these disturbing words. I assured you. We, Bell Family, didn't dare to look down on Heavenly Sword Sect. To apologize, we can offer you some compensation. So, we would like to invite you to our mansion so we can formally apologize."

"You!" Archie was obviously dumbfounded. He was taught by the family that the family will rise and can even surpass the Heavenly Sword Sect. He had enjoyed it for a few months. So when he was slapped like that. All the blood rushed to his head.

Alex immediately warned his Senior Sister. "Senior Sister, it's better not to accept their invitation. Back when I fought with a Grandmaster from the evil cult. I saw a blood pill that can make one stronger. It was forcefully taken from a living human. And I saw that energy in their body. I'm afraid the scale of this mission has been to a greater scale than we can imagine."

Putri didn't understand why he said that, but she trusted him. "No need. Break his arms and legs, I will forget about this"

With that, Archie Bell was completely enraged. He ate a blood pill. His energy sparked, and he suddenly released the aura of 2-Star Martial Grandmaster. His eyes became bloodshot, and Alex immediately knew at this point. It was the same appearance as the person who ate a blood like pill back then in the underground. "You! How dare you look down on me."

Alex immediately said, "Senior Sister. It really the same. They have the same appearance. If the whole family had used those pills. I'm afraid we need to retreat first and report it to the sect."

Putri nodded at him. "Evil Creature, you look like a demon."

As she said that, she suddenly thrust her spear to his abdomen and crippled him. She destroyed his cultivation like she was a friend of justice. Not everyone has left the restaurant, many still stayed. After they saw the appearance of Archie Bell, who was like a devil. They were completely bewildered, he really looked like an evil cultivator. They had the urge to do the same as Putri. So, Putri, doing this was completely normal.

The Spiritual Energy slowly gushed out from his body until his body didn't have any Spiritual Energy anymore, and he passed out. Putri looked at the two old men, "I wonder if Bell Family knows about this?"

The two old men sweatdropped. "We absolutely never know about this. Our family never thought of having an evil cultivator in our family. We will immediately report this to our family head and expel him from our family. How about, Young Lady, come to our family so we can thank you for revealing there was an evil cultivator like this in our family?"

And with that, Putri immediately knew Alexander didn't lie. Seeing they desperately asked them to come to their family, it must be a trap. She will reject them and report the whole incident to the sect. After all, judging from the two old men in front of her. They had a cultivation of 7-Star Martial Grandmaster, this wasn't a scale she can handle at the moment.

"We..." The old man was tongue tied. He changed his plan. He immediately grabbed Archie Bell and left the restaurant. He was planning to report the incident.

Putri and Alex left the restaurant not long after that. She looked at Alex, "How did you know?"

Alex understood what she asked about. He only asked her back, "Senior Sister, Do you know about Senior Sister Song Yu's special ability?"

Putri immediately understood what he was talking about, "Her ear?"

Alex nodded. But this nod had told her everything. She sighed, "So yours is eye. Now, I'm the only one who didn't have something special like that."

"Seeing too much or Hearing too much sometimes also become a curse. Seeing something we don't want to see or Hearing something we don't want to hear. So don't be down like that, Senior Sister, "Alex said while adding something in his heart, 'I can activate or deactivate my eyes at will, though.'

She smiled at him. "Let's go back to the sect. We need to report the incident. Judging from the scale, it seems several core disciples or even an elder need to move to fix this"

Alex nodded. They flew from the place.

In Bell's Family hall, the old spy kneeled down with Archie Bell beside him, lying unconsciously. The Bell family's head stood up and released his energy. "So this was done by them again? Curse them. Know they also knew about our plan. The more reason we can't let them alive. Immediately gather the 4-Star Grandmaster and above in our family. We need to kill them at all cost if not, our family would be ruined."

"Yes."

Not long after, there were thirty three people. Two 10-Star Martial Grandmaster, three 9-Star, five 8-Star, and the rest were ranging from 4-Star to 7-Star Martial Grandmaster. The family head, who was also one of the two 10-Star Martial Grandmasters, said. "We will kill those two wretches from Heavenly Sword Sect at all cost. They knew about our plan. So if we didn't kill them, our family would be destroyed by Heavenly Sword Sect. Let's go."

As he said that, all of the people nodded their heads, and all of them disappeared from the scene.

Alex and Putri were flying in their sect's direction. Putri slowed down a bit to match Alex's speed. After all, the difference between them was one whole big realm. After half an hour flying, they were flying above the woods, they had entered Whelan Forest. It was a relatively safe forest since there was no monster above Martial Master resided in here. But Alex and Putri felt something wrong.

They can't shake this feeling off. Alex tried to search the surrounding sky with his Spirit Eyes. He suddenly saw thirty three sign of energy. All of them were 4-Star Martial Grandmaster or above. He immediately felt something wrong. He said, "Senior Sister. Pursuers on our back. Thirty three people, 4-Star Martial Grandmaster or above. I don't know fully about their cultivation, but at least some of them stronger than you."
