Curse the Mainframe! 178 The Cause of Disaster

He already knew that they were here, but he hadn't known whether or not Vivian was here as well.

When he spread his magic out subtly throughout the base, he could already feel the familiar magic signatures within the base speeding towards his direction.

Lukas, Karen and Liam were still going driving along to the area that was assigned to them, only to find out that Alec had disappeared from the jeep without them noticing, baffling them. Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click for visiting.

Lukas was especially baffled.

How had Alec managed to escape his finely-honed senses? He was confident that even if he was asleep, he would be able to feel anything that came and went within his sensing area, but Alec had unexpectedly disappeared when he was right beside him, causing his confidence to take a blow.

Alec didn't have to go far before he was met with everyone he'd been separated from.

"Boss!"

Their call made heads turn towards Alec as the group of handsome men and pretty women called for their boss.

The various people passing by couldn't help but look at the group that was so stunning they made everyone turn to get a second glance. Men and women of all ages were attracted to the various stunning faces in the group.

To their stupefaction, their so-called 'boss' was a child that hardly looked like he was in his doubt digits.

What in the blazes was going on here?? Why were they calling that child boss?

Someone in the crowd seemed to take this as a chance for him to recruit some of them to their side.

Even if they were useless combat wise, just their looks alone made them a target to covert in this hellish world.

Ian Sutcliff had his eyes drawn to the heavenly beauty that was in front of his eyes. With her jet-black hair cascading down her shoulders, and her smooth silky skin, she was more beautiful than any woman he'd ever seen before in his life.

She was more beautiful than any of the celebrities on television, and more enchanting than a fox temptress. With her perfectly shaped eyebrows and charming eyes, when she smiled, Ian felt like his entire soul had been hooked, causing him to be unable to tear his eyes away from her.

He wasn't the only one, and the crowd had obviously grown when everyone stalled and slowed down as they passed by the group.

More and more people were being drawn in, and it was a wonder that the military personnel hadn't already come to disperse them.

Alec was aware of the stares that they were attracting in this place, but it wasn't any of his concern.

As long as they didn't have any ideas about touching his people, he would allow them to stare if they wanted.

However, a single finger out of line and Alec wouldn't forgive them easily.

Just as he was happy to ignore the ignorant bystanders that were making a crowd and bring his party away, someone blocked their path. Alec didn't like the intent that was coming off his body language, let alone the eyes that were locked on Vivian's form without moving.

The man brought with him a group of five other men that were looking at both Vivian and Rosabel with overtly and obvious lascivious desire.

Alec instantly felt the sticky tar-like anger that had receded a little upon meeting his party again well up.

The gentle smile remained on his face, but he didn't think that his anger was going to be appeased this easily if they made a move.

And they were quite obviously going to make a move in front of all these people, which was just as well.

If they took him as and his party as a punching bag, then that would be a disservice to them.

Alec felt like gouging out their eyes for daring to look at his subordinates that way.

Ian's eyes scanned across the group and didn't think they were anything special other than their faces.

It could only be said that the ignorant were truly fearless.

Ian's potential was so low that his tiny pesized brain couldn't even begin to comprehend who he'd offended. He wasn't even able to register the bloodlust that sat just below their skins, meaning he didn't even qualify as the prey to their predator.

Some of the crowd felt a chill go up their spines, causing them to wisely take a step back without having any idea why, puzzling themselves as they bumped into the people behind them.

Unfortunately for Ian and his group, they weren't part of the small minority that would have recognized the dangers that they were currently facing.

"Hey, you're their boss?" Ian said arrogantly, looking down at Alec, who was in the lead.

Alec smiled.

For some reason, Alec's smile sent an even stronger shudder up a few people's spines. They didn't understand what they were feeling.

"I am."

Alec was pissed. He just wanted to move along. Was that so much to ask? But no, he had to run into this type of cliché plot development in an apocalyptic world.

It hadn't even been that long since the apocalypse had hit this planet, but this kind of trash was already crawling out of the woodwork.

"Hah. Just a brat. How about it, beauties? Join our group, and we won't treat you badly."

There was an echo of jeers and agreement from his henchmen as they still eyed the two ladies at the brat's side. Their eyes were bright. If they didn't take this chance, then when would they ever see beauties like this ever again in their life?

Now that the apocalypse had started, this was their chance to grab things they couldn't have previously before.

In a place where survival of the fittest reigned supreme, they would be idiots if they passed up this chance laid out before them.

The Spectres licked their lips as their bloodlust increased. These people didn't even have magic, yet they were blatantly provoking them.

And that idiot, was coveting Vivian's beauty? Vivian was the strongest out of all of them!

If they didn't kill them here and now, then they were idiots.

The wisp of killing intent that the idiots were directing at Alec made them feel like they were going crazy.

To think that someone *dared* to threaten their boss in front of them?!

It was only their boss' smile that kept them at bay. If it had been anyone else, they would have already struck first and talked later.

Dominique as well was having trouble controlling his killing intent from leaking out. How dare the trash talk to his boss even? And to look at Rosabel and his mother like that, were they tired of living?

Did they regret that they weren't made into zombies along with everyone else?

That had to be it.

Alec glanced lightly at them, and they immediately quietened down. It looked like the boss wanted to take revenge for them, touching them.

Actually, they were thinking too much. Alec was just wondering why his temperamental Spectres hadn't already lost their temper and attacked the men in front of them, but this was fine as well.

He had some steam to let off, so he didn't mind playing along for a bit until they made the first move.

The stress had been building up since the 'legacy hall mission' started, and his anger had nowhere to go.

If they were going to send themselves to his doorstep, who was he to refuse?

Ian gazed maliciously at this little boy in front of him.

Just a small child, but he was their leader. If he killed him, then the group would have to disband, and he'd be free to take the beauties as his prize.

The black-haired beauty was his. The other lady could be left to his men. As for the rest… if any of his men had those tastes, he could take them in as well. After all, this was the apocalypse. It was hard to find men that handsome.

Each and every one of them were more stunning than any celebrity he'd seen on television before the world went to shit.

Ian kept staring at the black-haired goddess in front of him, the killing intent in his heart spiking. All he had to do was get rid of this brat here.

Vivian's lips curled into a sneer when the pathetic filth didn't move his eyes from her body, but that only made Ian more excited as he thought about conquering the beauty.
