GACHA SOVEREIGN

512 Their Course of Action

"Alright. Explain it to me."

Anna nodded, taking out a paper full of their information. "Their Joyful Union Sect has seven branches near us and most disciples stationed there have been dispatched to monitor us."

"Branches?" Alex was surprised to see a sect having a few branches.

She shook her head. "It's not like what you are thinking. Even though I said branches, they are basically a brothel for men and women.

"According to the information we have, they are sucking the other party's energy to increase their cultivation. Although I have no qualm with their method, I… we don't like how they treat us like new sex slaves. Hence, I wish to burn their sect.

"Of course, if this is the only reason, we might look too petty. They have heavily injured Jeanne and it can be said, most of their information is about Jeanne. If they really capture us, I can't imagine what will happen next.

"If we are not planning to destroy their sect, I wish to destroy these seven branches first as a warning." Anna looked at him with a serious expression.

"Hmm… Do you have information about the branches?"

"We are investigating it now."

"I will need their information first. I want their power level, operation time and such."

"Understood."

"We have killed a hundred disciples earlier, so I am planning to hide for a while. Firstly, I want to learn Martial Arts as I feel it has become too weak for me. Secondly, we can make a sneak attack in an unexpected time."

"Indeed. Young Master should also wait until today is over." Leoz added.

"..." Alex was speechless. Nonetheless, he nodded. "Yeah. I should wash away this bad luck."

"Besides, we have prepared a space for a new base. We can make a huge base there rather than this cave." Anna reported.

"I will do it tomorrow, including opening my Gacha. I am afraid if I do anything, there will be another bad luck." Alex looked at his spirits and introduced Stina. "This is Stina Blaze. Kyle's previous wife and it seems Kyle has accepted that."

"I am learning from Master. Even though I don't have any memories about it, I would man up and take responsibility." He puffed his chest proudly.

"I am Stina Blaze, nice to meet you." Stina bowed her head politely.

"You don't need to talk politely since these guys are special. You can talk to me like you talk to Anya. Well, I should introduce myself too. I am Anna Sirius, Anya's twin sister. Nice to meet you, Stina."

"Leoz here. If you want a spar, I am free."

"Jeanne. If you want to learn how to get pleasure from pain, I can teach you the way."

"Jean. As the elder sister said, the technique is godly."

"It's not like we accept you, alright? It's only because of the Young Master's order."

"Greg."

"Ahaha… I sense righteousness inside you. If you have any problem, come to me, I will surely help you. My name is Artur."

"Well, there is one more called Nelson. He is a master of espionage. Just a cool and reliable guy." Anna added.

She had heard that these people were special, but they were truly diverse, astonishing her even further.

"If you want to talk, now will be the perfect time as we are going to the new base tomorrow," Alex stated as he turned around.

Anna smiled while waving her hand toward them before leading Alex to his room.

They all knew what they were going to do, so they did not disturb them. Even Anya and Sherry stayed in this room, giving them precious time alone.

Stina then started learning everything on this continent and the world. It was beyond her imagination as she never thought the world would be this big. No wonder the Supreme would go to this world, she thought.

Alex had invited her to the Spirit Nest from the system, so she knew everything about EXP and levels. She was surprised to see such an awesome thing, but according to them, they just sealed their power and reclaimed it again from the start. It might sound foolish, but for Alex to accept them, this was the only way. She also learned her and everyone's role in the group.

Leoz was the battle maniac that would keep grinding EXP, and he was this group's strongest fighter. Anna was acting as Alex's secretary with Anya as their strategist. Nelson was in charge of espionage. Greg was their iron wall, while Artur was their sword. Jeanne could extract any information from the ultimate 'session' while Jean was Jeanne's toy. As for the Tsun couple, they were the joker.

Meanwhile, in another room,

Alex was naked after 'fighting' for a few hours. He sat on the bed while reading a few papers containing many information and pictures.

Anna had a blissful expression, lying on the bed, naked. Looking at Alex's back, she hugged him from behind, clinging her arms around his neck. "The situation is becoming chaotic lately. Mainly is because the Strength Plateau would open soon.

"Many influences try to get as many keys as possible. Even Song Yu does not really have time to visit us."

"I am planning to give the box back to Senior Sister Song Yu. I currently have four keys with me, enough for me, Sherry, Kyle, and Stina. You guys don't need it, right?"

"Yes. It is useless for us." Anna nodded. "Yeah. Although it might hurt her feelings a bit, we can just explain our situation and she will surely accept it. Besides, she can raise her reputation in the Blackwade Clan by using that box. I am wondering why she even gave us that box."

"Ahaha… That sounds like her." Alex chuckled.

"That's right. It would seem Blackwade clan is going to hold a grand auction using the hype of the Strength Plateau. I believe I should tell you as one of the items is really useful for you." Anna took out a catalog and opened a certain page, showing a picture of a lotus flower.

The petals were made of fire while the crown looked like molten lava. Alex certainly needed this flower.

"Flame Heating Lotus. This is your third item for Undying Fire Body." She smiled.

"This… is really what I need. How much do you think I can buy it?" Alex asked.

"I don't know. This past year, we have raised two billion Spirit Stones or two million Spirit Gems. According to Song Yu, the wealth of Blackwade clan is less than twenty million Spirit Stones. At the same time, a normal first-rate sect or influence should have less than half of a Merchant Family."

Alex recalled this term again. Spirit Gems, a more concentrated Spirit Stones, which was equal to a thousand Spirit Stones. There was another one that surpassed Spirit Gems, but it only existed on the Heavenly Continent.

"A few million Spirit Gems… I might be able to raise another three million Spirit Gems, but it won't guarantee us to get that lotus." Alex sighed.

"Yes, especially with the Fire God Clan aiming it. They might not have an Undying Fire Body, but it is still very beneficial for Fire Cultivators. So, we might have some friction with them in the auction."

"A passive enemy that will turn into an active enemy, huh… We have experienced this in the past with Mount Hua Sect. Wait, why do my enemies always have Fire Elements?"

"You are the ruler of Fire. You are bound to have more friction against Fire Elements people as your interest would clash with them. Just beat them up and show them who the boss is. Though we need to be careful against the Fire God Clan since they hailed from Heavenly Continent." Anna explained.

"Fine. I already have many enemies anyway, so adding one or two is not really a problem. The problem is to make sure they are not targeting my disciple." Alex pondered for a moment. "We have nine months before the Strength Plateau is open. I am planning to use two or three months to train my Martial Arts and Element Arts. If possible, I want to make pills in my free time to get more money. At the very least, I want to have seven million Spirit Gems before the auction."

"It should be feasible." Anna nodded.

"After that, we will attack the seven branches to warn Joyful Union Sect the consequences of their action. We will see if they want to protect their pride or stop their action against us. Though I believe they will choose the former.

"We will hide once again after we finish with these seven branches. If possible, I wish to reach 3-Star or 4-Star Martial Emperor first before going to the Strength Plateau. That's right, when is the Auction start?"

"Actually, the Strength Plateau is not really that far from Blackwade Clan. Using this advantage, the Blackwade Clan makes an auction to gather all influences and milk their money right before the Strength Plateau is opened. In other words, they are holding the auction one month before that strength trial starts.

"It will also be a good opportunity for you to meet Song Yu in that auction," Anna remembered a certain matter. "One more thing, when are you going to destroy the family that is bothering Rose?"

"Hmm… I have not made a plan for that yet, but around that big event. As for whether it is before or after the event, we will see." Alex answered. "Talking about her, how is the condition of Evelyn and Rose?"

"Evelyn is going to be a Martial King soon and will go to this continent right after. As for Rose, she is also progressing by leaps and bounds. In less than a year, she should become a Martial King with a very solid foundation, unlike Evelyn's. I am expecting many things from Rose and I hope she is lucky enough to reach the top."

"That's good then." Alex nodded before recalling a certain topic. He suddenly took out a spear from his Inventory and threw it toward the wall.

"Are you testing the new Inventory system?"

"Yeah. Since I can't draw Premium Gacha with this luck, I should be able to test this system." Alex raised his hand, trying to store it from afar.

Surprisingly, it slowly vanished. He checked the Inventory and as expected, it was there.

He took it out and threw it again. He tried something different this time as he activated his Spirit Eyes. He saw pink energy started enveloping his spear, teleporting it inside his Inventory.

It would seem that the Optimization Inventory gave him the ability to store whatever he had in the system and allowed normal items from his Space Ring to be stored inside the Inventory.

Then he had the second effect, which was a Shared Inventory. His spirits would have the ability to use the same Inventory as him, letting them store everything inside. It could be said that this Inventory had become a moving bank.

His spirits could send materials instantly with this function and vice versa. Alex could also make pills and station one of his spirits inside the Blackwade Clan. This allowed them to have a nonstop and secretive transaction.

Talking about being secretive, he remembered he had two other spies with him. He took out their card and handed them to Anna. "This is Natalie's and Nicky's."

"Fufu… You are just testing a new system and you have forgotten about it." Anna chuckled.

"Since we have a shared Inventory, I can take the cards by myself. In fact, I have sent them to investigate the seven branches."

"..." Alex was speechless. He was happy to have this reliable woman on his side. "Thank you. I might need more time to reach this place if I am alone or even die somewhere. I am really thankful to all of you."

"Fufu… It's us who are lucky. Well, I am also happy since you have accepted Anya. Though I wish the night were longer." She smiled at Alex.

Alex looked at her with gentle eyes, saying, "That's right. The night is still young."
