Gacha Sovereign

Chapter 748 - Evelyn

Outside the Ancient Ruin, every single of the challengers appeared on top of the stone platform, looking at each other with observant eyes. There were two people that became the center of attention.

First was a woman that was supposed to be the most favored one by the most mysterious person on the continent, Firia Sirius. Yet, the same person didn't appear in the tower, leaving the other perplexed. There was no way Alex would have such an ordinary woman. Even her appearance was something that could be described as Divine. That was why they couldn't understand why Firia would actually fail in this tower.

The most shocked one was Song Ling'er. Considering her brother had been cooperating with Alex since a year ago, she might need to rethink their decision. She might not know the reason why Alex gave this chance to her, but the proof she couldn't enter this could be said as Alex's mistake as he couldn't make a logical judgment. It was better for Alex himself to go there because he would have a high probability of entering the tower.

Song Ling'er observed Firia's expression with a complicated mood.

'Anyway, I will need to tell my family about this. If that Alexander Sirius can throw away such a precious chance, we might need to think twice before accepting his request.' Song Ling'er thought before sighing. 'A pity.'

Elizabeth had the exact same thought with Song Ling'er. However, she was more lunatic. She furrowed her eyebrows and thought, 'Why would someone like him marry her? Although I can indeed say she is a beauty that surpasses me or Song Ling'er or Evelyn, it's not that much. If we bring our talents into the picture, I am more worthy than her. Unfortunately, that person has chosen her and the way he talked back then… He won't change it. Haiz, a pity. If only I can get him, I will have the entire Heavenly Continent in my hand.'

As for the second person who gathered their attention, she simply baffled by the whole situation. She was none other than Evelyn. She had become the most favored one in that tower, and even a few Gods and Goddesses were asking her to practice their skills and give their items away. Yet, Evelyn just chose whatever suited her even though she could take it all.

And the same Evelyn had the same thought as Song Ling'er, albeit more to worry. She was worried Firia might feel bad about this and did something that made Alex unhappy.

'Maybe I shouldn't tell this to big brother Alex? I think it's fine to lie that Big Sister Firia entered the tower and received some kind of inheritance? This will certainly please big brother Alex. I should also talk about this with her, so she knows I will help her resolve this situation.' Evelyn swore in her heart before nodding her head.

She completely ignored others' opinions about herself and chose to think about what Alex would do.

In the end, everyone could only shake their heads and rise from the stone platform. They began walking together to the outside while observing what kind of change they had after training for a half year.

At the same time, Evelyn stopped Firia with a serious expression and told her senior sister to go ahead.

Firia tilted her head in confusion. "What do you want?"

Evelyn gulped down and sent a thought transmission. 'Big sister. I am afraid big brother Alex will be angry about this… I will help you if you want.'

'Lying? What do I need to lie?' Firia was clueless about their misunderstanding because Alex had been on her side this whole year, so there was no type of misunderstanding in her head. She furrowed her eyebrows and replied, 'Little girl… Have Alex told you about lying? If not, it seems the little girl has become a bad girl…'

'No, no. That's not what I mean.' Evelyn hurriedly shook her head and explained. 'I didn't see big sister anywhere in the tower, so I thought I should also tell big brother Alex that you had passed. This way, big brother won't be mad at you.'

'Ah! Are you talking about me failing?' Firia realized and widened her eyes in surprise.

Evelyn nodded and looked down. Although it didn't feel nice to lie to Alex, she needed to do this and consider it a white lie.

Firia was amused when watching her reaction. To think that the little girl misunderstood this kind of thing, but when she thought about it, she thought it was normal to get confused. She ended up patting her head and smiled. 'It's fine. You don't need to worry about it. Since you are thinking about Alex, this big sister will give you a reward.'

She took out the light blue colored pill and handed it to Evelyn. 'This is for you. Eat this, and I am sure you will soar in the sky.'

Evelyn furrowed her eyebrows and stared at the pill. The moment she smelled the aroma, she gasped and dropped her jaw to the ground. Her hand started shaking as she wanted to return the pill to Firia. 'This is too precious. There is no way I can accept a Revolving Heart Pill. Not only the ingredients are super rare, the one who can make perfect purity pill level is even more scarce.

'I have heard that one pill can fetch for more than a few million Spirit Crystals. It's better for big sister Firia to consume it.' Evelyn's face was pale, and she was stuttering.

'This big sister is an Alchemist. I don't want to brag, but this elder sister's skill is even better than your big brother. That's why you should accept it. This big sister doesn't have a need for this pill because it won't increase my talent. On the other hand, your talent is a bit low. Even though Alex had opened all your potential and somehow reached the same talent as the other successors, you need more than that.' Firia shook her head.

'I… But I am not his disciple… In fact, I don't even know what kind of relationship I have with big brother Alex right now. It's better for Rose to have this since she is the official disciple.' Evelyn still tried to reject, thinking it was better to give it to those who were close to Alex. She just felt she wasn't worthy of getting this kind of pill.

Firia was amazed by her character. She gently smiled and placed her hand on top of Evelyn's hand, covering the pill.

Just as Evelyn thought Firia finally took the pill back, Firia pushed her hand to her mouth, shoving the pill inside her mouth. 'Now you have swallowed it… Even if you are trying to hold the effect back, you can only do it for one hour. It's better for you to go back with your senior sister and return. I am sure you will finish refining the pill in your return journey. Just like Alex, I also have a high expectation from you.'

Firia smiled and patted her head a few times.

Evelyn didn't know whether to be thrilled or scared. On one hand, she was happy to get such an expectation from Firia and Alex. On the other hand, she still thought it was best for Firia or Rose to swallow it instead.

To force her to leave, Firia sent her last transmission. 'I didn't fail. There were a total of twenty Gods and Goddesses. Why do you think only a few of them greeted you?'

Upon uttering this question that shocked Evelyn, Firia walked toward the exit and brought her together. As soon as she went outside, Firia's expression turned serious as she leaned on the wall, looking at the heirs and heiresses from other influences going away.

Evelyn and Angela were the last ones to leave, except Firia. As expected, Evelyn still looked at Firia with a dumbfounded expression. She just realized what happened inside that tower and why Firia was nowhere to be seen.

Firia shook her head and said with a thought transmission. 'Don't tell anyone, including your Master, alright?'

Evelyn took a deep breath and nodded furiously.

Firia waited and checked to see if everyone had left, only to find Alex make his appearance first.

"Alex!"

"I have checked our surroundings, and there shouldn't be anyone around this place. We are good to go." Alex nodded, thinking it was better to talk in the base instead of this place.

"How about the hole?"

"Don't worry. It didn't take too long to patch it, so there won't be anyone coming out of this place like Shelka's case. Unfortunately, I can't kill that guy…"

Firia chuckled. "Do you think she can touch me? His hand will burn before he can touch me." Firia shrugged. "Anyway, let's go back first. Rose must be in there, and you are going to be busy this time."

"Yes. I still need to cooperate with Manness and meet with Rose. If possible, I want Rose to get her Space Element." Alex nodded in agreement.

"Good. Let's talk in the base."

Alex agreed and snapped his finger, creating a teleportation array.

A few minutes later, Alex had arrived at their base, walking through the dark cave maze before reaching it a few seconds later, of course, with his Space Element.

As expected, the first one who greeted him was none other than Anya.

"It's nice to see you back."

Alex nodded. There was one question that he wanted to ask this whole time. "How is the situation in Fire God Clan? Their strength and their allies."

"Their situation isn't really good. However, you can expect something from one of the top influences that have been standing tall for a few thousand years. They are still retaining most of their power with the power of money."

"They must have searched for allies." Alex narrowed his eyes.

"Yes. They have approached all influences for this. The Drunken Pavilion and Blackwade Clan declined instantly while Phantasm Sect remained neutral. As for the Divine Kingdom, they are still waiting for Elizabeth and Julius to return, especially Elizabeth, since she held the highest power in the kingdom.

"The only ones that have favorable thoughts about this are Snow White Mountain and Ancient Blue Family. The only problem is they are playing wait and see for the moment. Snow White Mountain will join if the Ancient Blue Family joins this alliance and vice versa. In the end, they are waiting for Rio since they are sure Rio will become the new patriarch. In other words, if we want to act, we will act as soon as Rio becomes one since he would have less power at that time."

Alex nodded in agreement. "I have the same thought. I will visit Old Manness first and get his cooperation before going to the Freedom Sect. We will go there in two to three months."

"I understand."

"That's right. Have they sent someone to ambush us during this Ancient Ruin period?" Alex asked with a serious expression.

"They had tried to assemble the people for that, but our N squad spread fake news to make their force in disorder. That's why the plan got canceled."

"Nice." Alex was elated with the news. Either they sent their forces or not would impact the Blackwade Clan in a bad way. If they sent the force but returned empty-handed, the disciples would create a ruckus inside. On the other hand, if they didn't send someone, their force wouldn't be organized because there was no huge plan like this.

"True enough."

"One more thing. How about Letizia?"

"She is quite good. Her cultivation has increased by leaps and bounds. Since no one visited her, she could cultivate peacefully. We could attack them according to our schedule."

Alex nodded. "Let's do it. For now, I want to talk with Rose. It's about time she gets her second element."

"I have told Rose about that matter. You can just say hi to her ins—!" Before she finished her words, the aforementioned person had come. This light-blue wavy hair girl ran across the cave after noticing the figure she missed so much. Without much thought, she leaped toward him while screaming. "Master!"
