Chapter 60: Sophia’s real identity
Although the rewards of the newbie instance were plentiful, Alexander’s nature hadn’t changed much; he had only become a Chosen One.
Inside the apartment, although Alexander’s strength had surged and he even possessed the identity of a ghost master, his increase in combat power was still quite limited and his methods of attack were quite monotonous.
Even though he killed two spirit-level evil ghosts in this instance, one was thanks to the ghostly chainsaw in his hand, and the other was a weak opponent whom he managed to strike fatally with a baseball bat.
In reality, if their equipment had been similar, he would’ve been utterly defeated!
But this time was different!
With the attack ghost technique, even if this little whip wasn’t very serious, the damage it caused was genuine! Coupled with the huge increase in physical attributes, his ghost energy also increased again.
Today, although Alexander hasn’t stepped into the level of fierce spirits, at the level of evil spirits, he definitely counts as a real master! And he had only experienced two instances so far, with only one of them being a formal instance.
With a flash of light, Alexander appeared in his own room.
Looking at the time, the open instance and the time in the apartment were the same, there was no time speed bonus, a full two days!
Fortunately, Alexander was well prepared in advance, he had asked for a week off to prevent any accidents, but ended up only using the weekend.
However, it didn’t matter now. Having become a Chosen One, if he wasn’t afraid of people guessing something, Alexander wanted to drop out of school directly! He was too lazy to return from leave.
It’s better to grind more instances and stock up. His own exclusive instance was still rather rudimentary!
He opened his phone and found over a dozen missed calls and texts, half of which were from Lucy.
On texts, the messages were one after another.
Lucy: You jerk, you’re not even answering my calls, why are you scaring me!
Lucy: You damn guy, I can’t be bothered with you, whether you go to college or not is up to you!
...
Lucy: The tutoring materials have all been sent to your email, go see them yourself! We’re no longer friends!
As for Lucy’s way of speaking, Alexander had long gotten used to it. Not answering the phone equates to scaring her? What a joke!
The two of them break off their friendship more than seven times a week on average, and delete each other as friends every other week.
Therefore, Alexander was also very decisive, sent a message, then skillfully pulled out the list, clicked confirm, and deleted his friend!
Alexander: I’m by the seaside, just got off the plane, please don’t disturb me for a week!
Turning off his phone, a smile couldn’t help but creep up on the corner of Alexander’s mouth.
That punk must be furious now!
Indeed, Lucy was furious, and it was the kind of anger that blew up her lungs.
However, after deleting him as a friend, Alexander didn’t get to see Lucy’s next message:
Lucy: Good for you, Alexander. The address you gave me was a cemetery, don’t tell me you live in a graveyard! It’s good that I searched it up, otherwise I would’ve been scared to death by you! After scaring me, you went on vacation, do you even have a shred of humanity!
Alexander has activated friend verification, you are not his/her friend yet, please send a friend verification request first, and you can chat after the other party verifies.
"Alexander! I’m going to kill you!"
In her room, Lucy held her phone, utterly furious.
...
Putting away his phone, Alexander opened the fridge, originally planning to make some noodles for a quick meal and then go find Su Rong. Unexpectedly, there were only a few rotten mustard greens left in the fridge.
Alexander had no choice but to get up and go downstairs to buy some food. After all, he had a whole week to stay at home. Even if he had the nerve to eat across the street every day, Sophia still had school and Isabella had work.
He didn’t go far after leaving the building. He bought some fruits and vegetables in the community supermarket and started walking back with his purchases.
In the elevator, just as the elevator door was about to close, a beautiful figure walked in.
"Isabella, you’re off work?" Alexander’s eyes brightened, and he greeted quickly.
"Alexander! You... you’re really out!"
Seeing Alexander, Isabella was slightly taken aback. The next second, she excitedly hugged Alexander tightly. In her hand, a piece of white paper, not knowing what it contained, was quickly crumpled up.
"Yeah, I’m out!"
Alexander didn’t notice what Isabella was holding in her hand. She hugged him tightly and he didn’t think much about it.
Isabella’s voice was full of excitement as she invited him, "That’s great! Really great! Come to my house tonight, Sophia and I will have a good celebration for you!"
Alexander was indeed tempted, but after a slight hesitation, he shook his head and said, "Let’s skip tonight. I’ve made some gains in the Horror World and need to sort them out!"
Although Isabella had a great figure, after all, Sophia was still at home, and some things weren’t so convenient.
Moreover, with his increased attributes and stronger physical fitness, he was planning to try a new way of playing with Su Rong.
He must repay how he couldn’t move last time tonight! Let her know the prowess of her man!
"Alright then!" Surprisingly, Isabella didn’t insist this time. She just hugged Alexander tightly, as if she wanted to merge herself into him.
Something seems off with Isabella today?
She didn’t insist on Alexander coming to her house, nor did she inquire about what happened in the instance.
If one would suggest that Isabella’s attitude changed because she didn’t need Alexander, that wouldn’t be quite right.
Alexander could feel a deep attachment from Isabella towards him.
But something was a little strange.
"Isabella, you seem very tired today. What’s up?" Alexander asked.
"Really?" Isabella was taken aback. She said, "Maybe it’s because I just returned from a business trip. The company sent me to Tokyo yesterday, and I just got back today!"
"No wonder, then. You should go rest! Don’t overwork yourself!" Alexander said.
Just then, the elevator door opened, Isabella let go of Alexander, and they both walked out.
"Alexander, you should also go home and rest. You’ve just been through such a dangerous instance, you must be more tired than me! Come over tomorrow night after you’ve sorted things out. I’ll help you relax!" Isabella turned the key to open the door but paused, turned back to Alexander and said.
A wave of desire rose in Alexander, causing an erection. He hastily agreed and quickly walked into his apartment.
Only when Alexander’s apartment door closed did Isabella take her gaze off him and open her own door.
"Back already? Have you done your tasks?" Sophia, who was speaking, didn’t sound like she was talking to her mother. Instead, it felt like she was addressing a peer or even... a subordinate.
"Yes, I’ve completed them, don’t worry!" Isabella nodded and sat down on the sofa.
At this time, Sophia was standing in the center of the living room. There were about a dozen men and women sitting in the room.
If Alexander were here, he would recognize them. They were the friendliest bunch from the community!
Jordan from building 40 who enjoyed playing basketball and was of the same age as Alexander, Vincent the muscle man who loved fitness...
The dozen or so people sat on the sofas and chairs, their faces serious, with Sophia standing in front of them.
It looked like... they were having a meeting!
