Chapter 45: You will be held responsible for the dead and the injured
Seeing Laura’s body becoming weaker and weaker, Alexander knew that her condition was critical and needed to be dealt with promptly.
Although this was happening in a dream, the damage was done to Laura’s divine power and spirit. If it was not dealt with in a timely manner, it would cause irreparable loss.
Fortunately, Alexander had some medical skills. He quickly used his fingers to seal Laura’s meridians, allowing the divine power in her body to calm down.
However, Alexander still underestimated the divine power. This power was much more violent than imagined, and it took a great deal of effort to barely suppress these violent divine powers.
Supporting the weak Laura with his hand, Alexander sighed, "You are a good girl in every way, why are you so competitive? You need to change this mentality."
"Thank you." Laura nodded, her eyes full of gratitude, but her body became weak, and Her strength has also diminished significantly.
"I don’t know what kind of talent and physique you have, that you possess such a strong power within you. Moreover, judging by the situation, you currently have no way to control these powers. These powers in your body will sooner or later be a hidden danger." Alexander said solemnly.
"I know, this power has existed since the moment I was born. Although it allows me to have the ability to exert divine power, I have no way to fully control them. This is indeed a troubling matter." Laura said.
"Your body should be weak for a while, I estimate it should be more than a month. During this time, you should adjust well. When the opportunity arises in the future, I can help you try to see if you can neutralize the divine power in your body." Alexander thought for a while and said.
"How will you help me? Is it the ’dual cultivation’ you mentioned before? Is this really not an evil technique?" Laura’s face suddenly turned red, whether due to injury or accelerated heartbeat.
"I assure you, it is definitely not an evil technique."
Alexander said seriously, "But, did I ever say that I must perform ’dual cultivation’ with you? . Also, don’t forget that you have previously agreed to fulfill any three of my requests, no matter what the request is, you must agree unconditionally."
"Don’t worry, I’ll keep my word." Laura sighed. She really didn’t expect to lose.
Alexander looked at her and said, "You should know, the world is big, no one can guarantee that they will always be the strongest. All we can do is to try our best to be ourselves."
Laura bit her lip, stood up with a pale face, and nodded slightly without saying anything.
And Alexander voluntarily dispelled the dream. The next moment, Laura’s consciousness returned to her body.
The time within the dream differs from that of the real world. Although the two individuals had spent a long time sparring in the dream, only a few seconds had passed in reality.
Laura, who was originally standing there, suddenly turned pale, her body swaying, almost falling to the ground.
"Bastard, what did you do to our lady!"
The surrounding elders glared at Alexander and quickly came to Laura’s side, propping up her body.
"Miss, you are injured. Let us escort you back to the temple first," one of the elders said respectfully.
"Hold on, did I say you could leave? Did you forget that you still owe me the fulfillment of three conditions?" Alexander said lightly, looking at Laura’s retreating figure.
"Alright, say it, what do you need me to do?" Laura’s face seemed calm, but her heart began to beat violently, and her mind started to race.
"This Alexander, he wouldn’t make an unreasonable request like asking me to marry him in front of all these people, would he? Although I can agree, if this matter gets out, there will be no way to explain it to the temple."
However, Alexander merely said calmly, "My first request is that you must clean up this place. You will be held responsible for the dead and the injured. Also, I don’t want to be bothered by the media every day, so it’s your job to shut them up. Understand?"
After saying that, Alexander glanced at Henry.
Henry immediately gave a wry smile and said, "You are now the largest shareholder of the media company, everything is up to you. Why are you looking at me? Besides, isn’t Miss Laura here? She will certainly find a way to silence everyone."
The conversation between Alexander and Henry didn’t sit well with the elders from the temple.
They glared at Alexander with red eyes, angrily saying: "Are you... are you ordering our lady around?"
Crossing his arms, Alexander said lightly: "This is an agreement between Laura and me. Does it have anything to do with you?"
"Hurry up!" Alexander said indifferently, "Didn’t you promise to keep your word?"
Laura’s body shivered, her eyes drooping, biting her lip, she felt a strange sense of loss in her heart. Surprisingly, Alexander’s first demand was so simple, she thought he would propose to her or something.
"First, clean up the blood," Laura said in a low voice, "Then call Taylor, let him handle the follow-up work, and make sure to announce that Simba and the others died in an accident during an internal spar. Also, have everyone here stay and sign a confidentiality agreement."
"If anyone reveals Alexander’s identity casually, they will be wanted by the temple."
The few old men looked at Alexander unwillingly, but they had no means to deal with the situation.
"Yes!" The few old men turned around and quickly walked towards the venue.
"You! Hurry up! Get moving!"
"We must restore this place to its original state within half an hour! Did you hear that clearly?"
"Also, everyone listen to me! Nobody is allowed to leak what happened today. If anyone leaks information, don’t blame us for being ruthless!"
The whole venue was in motion, people were busily cleaning up the venue and carrying the injured away one after another.
Laura turned her head, her lips pale, and said to Alexander, "Are you satisfied now? I’ve fulfilled your first demand. What other demands do you have, feel free to say them all at once."
Alexander casually picked up his coat and walked out, "Why do I feel like you’re more anxious than me? Don’t rush, I’ll let you know when I’ve thought of the remaining two requests."
As she watched Alexander’s figure leaving the building, Laura couldn’t hold on any longer. She suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood and fell to the ground with a thud.
The old men around her were all shocked and rushed up in a hurry.
"Miss! Miss!"
"Quick! Call for the high priest!"
She had been forcing herself just now, her spiritual power was completely drained.
If it were an ordinary person, they would have died due to a mental breakdown by now. The fact that she was able to hold on until now was truly remarkable.
