Gacha Sovereign 248 A Hidden Scheme?

Alex looked at the new man that finally made his appearance. He had short brown hair. From the look of it, he seemed to be another Young Master. He was also another 10-Star Martial Grandmaster.

"Eric!" To Alex's surprise, Putri suddenly shouted his name with a smile on her face. Putri seemed to be happy to meet him here.

"Putri, long time no see. You have reached 8-Star Martial Grandmaster, how can you advance that fast?" He said gently while smiling at her.

"Hehe, you also have reached a peak Martial Grandmaster." She giggled.

"Well, he is just worried about your Junior Brother, so please forgive him." He said,

"Fine, if you say so." Putri pouted. "That's right, let me introduce you to my Junior Brother, he is Alexander Sirius."

"Alex, this is my childhood friend as well as my fiance. His name-" Before she finished introducing him, he cut in by introducing himself. "My name is Eric Kasmanan. Nice to meet you, Alexander Sirius."

He stretched out his hand for a handshake. Looking at his smile, Alex felt it creepy. After all, he knew that this man was hiding this entire time and appeared at this particular time. There must be something wrong with his head.

But, Alex couldn't blatantly say that, especially after he saw Putri's expression. Putri must have fallen in love with him. He also got surprised when he finally saw a 'Fiance Card' appeared here. Well, his relationship with Putri was only a Junior and Senior relationship, not love, so Alex didn't delve into that topic so much.

Alex also stretched out his while smiling. "Nice to meet you. I'm Alexander Sirius."

Alex felt the grip on his hand suddenly got tighter, but Eric's face was still smiling. He understood what was going on. Alex also started clenching his hand. Although he didn't mind their bickering, if he wanted to bully him like this. Fat Chance. He was not that easy to bully like his depressed self from Earth.

Obviously, Eric was surprised to see Alex's strength. Alex didn't release his full strength. After becoming a 5-Star Martial Grandmaster, his strength became even stronger. He had gotten an additional five hundred bulls strength.

That meant his raw strength alone was equal to one and a half dragon strength. If he used his Immovable Step, he would be able to exert three dragon strength. Maybe, by the time he reached 2 or 3-Star Martial Lord, he might have the strength comparable to Charya's.

Alex was only following his fist strength. If he did it deliberately, Alex was afraid it would be too obvious for others to see. They might use it as a reason for aggression on him.

Eric was surprised to see that he lost in strength against this 5-Star Martial Grandmaster. But he felt that he didn't lose that much, so he tried to free his hand from Alex's grasp.

"It is my pleasure to meet you. This is your key, and I'm sure you are tired. Your room is on the second floor, the third room on the right." Eric took out a room key in this inn.

Alex then grabbed the key and smiled at him with a provoking smile, "Thank you."

Eric twitched his eyebrows.

"Yes, Alex, you should rest first. I will go around with Eric first. I will tell you about the Death Forest later," Putri grabbed Eric's hand.

Alex nodded to her and went upstairs.

The room was nothing special. Although it was a bit luxurious, it was only the furniture, and that furniture wasn't useful for him.

Alex checked his room with his Spirit Eyes. But it seemed that there was nothing suspicious. At least he would be safe in this room.

...

After a few hours, night had arrived.

"Knock."

He heard the knocking sound from his door. Alex activated his spirit Eyes and recognized the energy. It was Putri, so he stood up and opened the door for her.

"Ah, Alex. I am finally free."

"Come in first," Alex invited her inn. "I'm sorry, I don't have anything to serve you since this is an inn."

"It's fine," Putri smiled.

Alex nodded. It was a single room, so Alex only had a chair in this room. Alex let Putri sit on the bed while he took the chair.

"Alex, I want to say sorry about the treatment you got first, especially from Mega. I hope you don't mind. Usually, she is not like that, so maybe she has some problems, and it affects her."

Alex didn't say anything. He only nodded his head once to her.

"Then, I will try to explain the Death Forest for you. I read it from many sources. Inside of this Death Forest is like a puzzle. No one can crack the puzzle. That's why no one has gotten the inheritance yet.

"They said there was forest inside there. Then another said there was a labyrinth inside there and many others. It seems that the realm is very vast. After that, you might find a white building in the middle of the realm.

"This is the most troubling situation. This building doesn't have any entrance to get inside. Many tried to break in, but no one has succeeded before. So, I'm sure there is another trick, but I don't know what it is.

"There are many monsters inside the realm. Of course, they were limited to Peak Grandmaster. We just need to be careful from a group of peak Grandmaster stage monsters. That is the reason why we should go together with others.

"I hope that you can forgive them so we can cooperate together. Master and Senior Sister Song Yu had asked me to take care of you inside," Putri explained.

Alex frowned a bit. He was wondering if he should tell her that his fiance seemed to hide something. After all, he didn't need to hide for a long time before appearing in that kind of situation.

He shook his head. It might not be the best choice. After all, he had seen Putri's happy expression when she was together with him. And his relationship with Putri was not deep enough for him to say something about her fiance in front of her.

"Alex?" Putri was confused when he shook his head.

"Ah, sorry. What else do I need to know?"

"Hmm..." Putri thought a bit before continuing her explanation. "There are six entrances to get inside the realm. We are going to the west entrance. There should not be many people going there. The realm will be open for two weeks or fourteen days.

"After we got inside the realm, we will move toward the white building and try to search the entrance. Oh, that's right, I almost forgot about this.

"There were many treasures around the white building. From weapons, pills, and many things. All of them came with a test.

"We will pass the test after test, and hopefully, we will crack the clue and go inside the white building. After all, the only clue about that building is the test," Putri explained.

"I see." Alex looked down, weighing something in his mind. In the end, he couldn't come up with a single plan unless he saw it with his eyes.

"Senior Sister, I feel they have some hidden intentions," Alex said, trying to pry her reaction about this.

"There's no way, especially Eric, he loves me very much and wouldn't plot something against me. We promised to marry after we reached the Martial Lord Stage." Putri said with a happy expression.

Alex could only sigh after hearing her response. He thought, 'What will you do when you knew that your so-called fiance was hiding behind the wall previously?'

It was useless to convince a maiden in love like her. Alex sighed.

...

In another inn, there were around ten people inside a room. There was a wanted poster in front of them. The person in the drawing was Alex.

"He is Alexander Sirius. I saw him in this town, so he must want to get inside the barrier." A blonde young man that looked like the leaders of the group said. He was the second prince of Zhou Kingdom, Zhou Tian.

"Yeah, I also saw him too. He came with the Southern Kingdom third princess. Your highness, what should we do?" A fat young man asked. He was the brother of Xian Hui that Alex killed in that 'Blazing Pond' cave.

His brother was killed by someone unknown. He was enraged about that. After investigating for so long, they didn't find a single clue. Xian Family had given up on it and wouldn't do another huge scale search, but there was still a small team to search for that.

"Hmph, try to see which entrance they will use, and we will follow them. This Alex is a notorious criminal. Initially, we wanted to have a cooperation with the Quinto Family, but this Alex destroyed them. He didn't put the Zhou Kingdom in his eyes." The second prince said.

In fact, he didn't know the real reason either. He was told by the higher up that he needed to capture this Alex if not killed him. But he looked down on people with his status as a prince. He also had some ideas about the power level of the royal family.

They had two Martial Kings, so it was obvious why he could look down on people. He also used those blood pills to increase his strength. He managed to raise his strength to peak Grandmaster stage in a short time.

"Try to search for his information first. How is his relationship with the princess? If they are not close or anyone important, then we will just demand him from them."

"Understood."

A few days later, they managed to find out that Alex was not someone important, nor he had a close relationship with her. They decided to kill Alex when they got inside the realm.

Without a relationship, the princess would just give him to them. After all, Alex was only a 5-Star Martial Grandmaster, which should be useless inside the realm.

...

In Sleeping Inn, the princess's room.

There were two people inside that room. One of them was obviously the pink haired princess. Surprisingly, the other one was Eric Kasmanan, Putri's fiance.

Both of them were naked.

"Hehe, Eric, how is your date with your fiance, Putri?"

"Hmph, she never let me take advantage of her before marriage. What kind of fiancee is that? If not because of you, I don't want to do this."

"Haha, don't say that. You are the first young master of the Kasmanan Family. If I win the throne later, you will be the king."

"Hmph, that's right. For that, my Kasmanan family had been cooperating with the first young lady of the Makmur Family. Her position is threatened by Putri's rising strength. If we could destroy her, then we will also get the support of the Makmur Family."

"Haha, what a pity. You are too cunning. Even her parents were acting like they were kind to her."

"Yeah. Because of the protection of the ninth elder from Heavenly Sword Sect. We can't kill her openly, but that doesn't mean we can't cripple her.

"The first lady seemed to want to make her promise with Heavenly Oath never to hold the spear again if she lost to her in the Inner Disciple Tournament. Of course, the sixteenth elder will arrange the fight for her, considering she is jealous of the ninth elder.

"It is not enough to cripple her from her spear. That is the reason why the family suppresses her, and only her parents are the only that kind to her. It was only an act. After she loses, her parents will abandon her, and she will be expelled by her family. With that, her spirit would break, and surely she won't be able to stand again.

"There is also you who is her fake friend. If she knows it is only an act, it will be hilarious." Eric explained.

"Haha, there is you too. The fiance that she loves so much is actually a fake."

"Of course, my heart only belongs to you, Third Princess."

"Fufu, then show it to me."

"I will let you see my might," After he said that, he pushed the third princess to the bed while groping her like he used to do this.

It became a hot steamy night for them, which Putri didn't know yet. At a time like that, Putri would know who her friend, who is her family, and who are actually standing by her side no matter what happens.
