While Alex was observing Wilford, the old man was also doing the same.

He could feel the callus on Alex's hand and no matter how much he stared at Alex, he wasn't able to erase this uncanny feeling as if this person was hiding something.

"It's pleasant to meet the saviour of Arkham."

"You are flattering me. I am doing this just for business." Alex chucked a bit.

Both of them separated and they sat down while Wilford tilted his head just a bit which didn't go unnoticed in Alex's eyes.

"So, why did you want to meet me?" Alex asked straight to the point.

Wilford smiled and spoke, "You know very well why I am here?"

He took a vial of Golden water and put it on the mini table before them.

"You said, you are doing this for business."

"As you know everything has a price, the recipe for these things must also have a certain price, doesn't it?"

"Why not? The matter is whether you could give me that price or not." Alex smirked.

Wilford nodded and spoke, "I assume we are not the only ones who reach you."

"Correct."

"Many might have requested you for an audience and offered quite valuable things but you refused them all but you accepted ours."

"There may be two reasons behind it."

"Either what they have offered wasn't suited to your taste or you are interested in something that could only be offered by us."

Alex can't be happier than that.

Wilford noted Alex's gleeful face and said"I don't know what you want from us particularly but to show you just how much this thing means, we will first and foremost offer you a noble title as a way to repay you."

"Noble title?" Alex's eyes twitched a bit and asked with a questioning gaze"In one of the Kingdom."

"No in the whole empire and we are offering you the title of Count."

'What the hell?'

Alex felt dizzy hearing this. Although it was quite an honour to receive a noble title, he was still surprised as he didn't even have the Nobel title in his own country even though he was a Prince before.

The Kingdoms of the Empire generally come under the Nobles of the Empire. It wasn't to the point of absolute control but the Kingdoms have to offer tributes to Nobles.

The only thing Alex was blessed with was his Kingdom was't operated under some Noble control.

-n0ve1、com Alex shook his head as he felt that the conversation was leading somewhere else.

He wants something from them but this isn't what he wants.

Alex already observed Wilford's attitude which was filled with respect and reverence so there wasn't any need to drag this about any longer.

"Don't you think you are lacking in this aspect?"Ales spoke and he rotated his gaze towards the window

Alex's words startled the man and his brows furrowed as he saw Alex's gaze on the window.

'Did he feel something?'

"Is it okay for that Anonymous-masked guy to hide there and listen to our conversation?"Alex snorted.

Wilford was startled by Alex's words and his heart became raged on while.

Meanwhile, the masked man who was leaning on the wall beside the window with a leisurely expression was shocked to the point that he almost stumbled and fell back.

Wilford was about to draw his sword when he heard Alex's laughter.

"Calm down Sir Wilford. There is no need to be on alert for silly things. Isn't this guy my best friend?"

Alex waved his hand towards the invisible person and spoke"Hey, is this how you greet a long-lost best friend of yours? It makes me cry tears of sadness."

The Masked Man's back was drenched in sweat and his brain seemed to be running wondering what was going on.

"Sir Rex, what do you mean by that?"Wilford spoke with a grim tone.

"Are you teasing me? I may be old but I haven't gone senile."

Alex frowned as he saw the man acting persistently.

Alex's eyes gleamed dangerously and he looked at the masked man and shouted"I have enough of your stupid games."

"Noah, get your ass right now or I will stab my sword at your stupid masked face."

"I know you aren't handsome and can't compare to me but that doesn't mean you should hide your ugly face with that shit mask."

Wilford's hands holding the sword trembled and his jaw dropped wide as he wondered what was going on.

Swish!

As soon as Noah pulled out the mask, his figure appeared and he stared at the man who bears certain similarities to one of his nightmares.

His voice quivered and his throat became dry as memories of the disaster started to haunt him.

But he clenched his fist and asked"The way you speak is quite familiar. Are you Alex?"

Alex winked with a smile and folded his legs.

"Correct answer. Who can it be except the glorious me?"

"Your ability to anger me still hasn't changed."Noah spoke with disdain.

"What are you doing here? Are you here for revenge?"

"If that's the reason then I will do everything in my power to stop you here."

Alex facepalmed and sighed.

His voice changed suddenly which sent a chill down Noah's spine"How many times did I tell you to stop barking like a dog?"

"How dare you address His Highness as a dog?" Wilford shouted and pulled out his sword.

"Just try to pull it out and you will know the consequence?"

Wilford flinched as he saw Alex's annoyed expression combined with enormous killing intent.

Alex looked at Noah and spoke, "Who is the one responsible for Arkham's current situation?"

"It's none other than me.I have been helping you all from the background. I have purified the lands on my way and helped your people."

"Also I was the one who took out Count Gray who was going to run rampage."

"What?"

Noah screamed as if he had heard the biggest joke of his lifetime.

"Sit down, and have some drink to cool yourself.I will tell you everything." Alex spoke and started to narrate the events.
