So, Alex chose the fastest way possible. He smashed the door, th knocked out every guard he met along the way. Although he didn''t make ire sign the agreemt, he put a tracker on him, and a small device slipped into his clothes.


    Knowing where to go, Alex made his way through the hallway, and while he did this, he didn''t forget to barge into a few rooms he found interesting.


    For example, the Library. Alex would hit the door out of the hinge and th knock everyone unconscious. Old, young, man, woman, he didn''t discriminate, putting all of them inside the awe cube.


    Alex also didn''t discriminate betwe living and non-living.


    He passionately put all the objects he deemed interesting into his storage ring. Since he did this in a hurry, he didn''t ev spare the cab, taking it all with him.


    If anyone had tered the Library now, what was left were only a few chairs and tables, and all the storage furniture disappeared as if it had never be there.


    It didn''t take long for Alex to reach the location he was looking for. This ce is located on the fourth floor on the west side of the castle.


    In front of his eyes was now only a solid wall of wood. But he could feel life force ergying from inside.


    ''An illusion barrier,'' Alex thought to himself.


    His lips th curled upward into a smirk. He took out the EmberShift hammer and th started pouring his qi over it. A yellow me started gulfing the hammer''s head, but he was still not satisfied.


    He began manipting the fire, condsing it into a smaller size; the me started changing color from orange to blue. But he didn''t stop there; he told Vesa to pour some life-force ergy into it.


    Since the me was small, it didn''t cost a lot of life force to raise its heat to a whole new level. The air itself started to distort by the scorching temperature.


    His me has now already started changing into . Alex knew if he unleashed this into the pce, it would quickly spread, burning the whole ce down.


    Ev though the normal me was not ough to burn the tree that made this pce, his me was now on a whole differt level.


    But Alex''s goal was not to burn this ce; he knew if he did this, he could bait the one inside out.


    Just as expected, the wall in front of him started to distort. A woman th came out from it, "Are you nuts! Do you want to destroy this whole ce?"


    "Hmm, finally, someonees out. Here, I thought it would be the king. Who are you? Are you one of his many wives?" Alex asked.


    He could see the woman in front of him was attractive, but he knew it was a fake appearance.


    With the information he had, he had already concluded the woman was one of the two that ire gifted to the king, a Fairy. He asked that on purpose, wanting to know the woman''s response.


    "His wife? He wishes," the woman replied.


    Alex smirked, tilted his head, th raised his hand upward. The momt he did this, the air distorted. His hand was gripping another hand that was holding a dagger.


    The woman in front of him th disappeared, turning into gold dust.


    "So, this is how the Fairy race greets each other. Quite a wee."


    Aurora, having her hand gripped, tried to pull it back, but Alex''s grip was so strong that it didn''t ev budge.


    "Release me."


    "Why should I?" Alex asked while pulling her toward the door that now appeared from the wall.


    He kicked the door op. BAM!


    Inside, Alex found ire in bed, looking at the room situation and the peculiar smell in the air. Alex''s lips twitched.


    "Fuck you, ire! Can''t you choose a better time to have an affair?"


    But before ire could say anything, Alex moved. He put the EmberShift hammer back into the storage ring while he ducked.


    Aurora tried to stab him once more with a dagger, but she missed.


    "What are you? Do you have eyes behind your back?" She asked with an annoyed tone.


    There were many things Alex wanted to ask, but he knew hecked time.


    He could already conclude that ire could not move his body. Otherwise, there''s no way he''d stay in that embarrassing position ev with him there now.


    Alex spun, pulling the woman forward, th hit her in the gut with ough strgth to make the woman''s face turn blue.


    Seeing this made ire''s face etched with worry. No matter what, Aurora held a special ce in his heart. But everything was happing too fast for him to ev say anything.


    Alex threw Aurora toward ire while hitting her in the neck, effectively making her unconscious. He th put both of them into the AweCube.


    With his objective achieved, Alex turned a, wanting to leave the premises. Unfortunately, his escape path was blocked midway through the tunnel.


    In front of him, a doz security guards had already gathered. They all pointed their rifles toward Alex while the one leading them looked coldly at him.


    He is the geral who is responsible for protecting the castle.


    Alex''s eyes turned sharp, but he was not looking at the geral. He could feel another life force appear behind the squad.


    ''This life force appeared out of nowhere. Is it something like teleportation?'' Alex wondered.


    "Return, my sister," a cold feminine voice reached Alex''s ears.


    Hearing the voice, the squad separated, making way while the geral respectfully bowed.


    Everyone in the pce had already memorized the voice. And they knew this woman had authority only below the king, with strgth that they could not underestimate.


    The woman that came had a Feraldi appearance with bob-cut ck hair and ck eyes.


    Her body was slim, with height reaching Alex''s eyes. But Alex knew this was not her real appearance; he could also see a simr bangle in her hand.
