GACHA SOVEREIGN

When Evelyn just told the truth, Anna instantly relayed the message from Evelyn to Alex, and it completely stunned him.

Alex fell silent and looked at Silvia. For the past few hours, she kept sitting on the ground while crying. This might be the first time she felt very hurt when no one believed him, yet she couldn't say anything to Alex because of what her father did.

No matter how you looked at it, there was no way Alex would believe her. She was at a complete disadvantage. To that end, she could only wait for the next news without attempting to do anything to show Alex that she didn't know.

She didn't know why but this felt even more painful when she recalled everything they had experienced during the past few months. At this time, she realized that Alex had a big part in her heart despite not knowing him for long.

The time she spent with him was fulfilling and fun to do. She noticed that her feelings weren't that shallow anymore. But this was why the whole thing became even more painful.

At first, she and her father did this to get Alex, but when everything went well, and her feeling gradually bloomed, the fall was also harder.

Alex also felt uncomfortable doing this, but he just couldn't endure a betrayal. He had it enough with Sandra, but this thing reminded him of her.

The moment the truth came out, he dropped his sword and fell to his knees.

Silvia obviously couldn't understand his action. Despite the pain, she tried to put on her best smile and asked. "What happened? Are you sick?"

Alex felt even more guilty. Even though he treated her this harshly and wouldn't believe her anymore, she still showed her concern to him.

He lowered his head and said the only thing he must say at this moment. "I am sorry."

"What…happened?" She became even more worried while grabbing his hands.

"Everything is my misunderstanding. As soon as I heard someone important than me got kidnapped, I blocked everything despite not knowing whether it was the truth or not. I…"

"It's okay." She slowly hugged him as she couldn't bear his guilty face. This wasn't his fault. She and her father knew about his character, and yet, her father actually did a risky thing that destroyed their relationship. Even if it were fully restored, they wouldn't have the same relationship anymore. If what he did wasn't known by Alex, everything would indeed go according to his plan.

After all, Lin Xingzhi and the others would need a long time to search for their location, allowing him to successfully make Evelyn his daughter. At that time, Alex had no choice than becoming his son-in-law.

Unfortunately, he didn't know the power of the Gacha System that was able to locate his position that easily and ultimately destroyed everything.

She blamed everything that happened to her father.

Alex decided to tell her about the truth of what happened.

She never expected that her father wanted Evelyn to become his daughter. She had a mixed feeling as his daughter. On one hand, he blamed the father for doing this reckless thing. On the other hand, she wondered whether her existence was only for this and didn't mean anything to her father since he could easily choose to adopt someone?

Including this misunderstanding, her heart finally broke. The tears that she had been holding on finally fell again.

Alex reflectively hugged her back. It was his turn to calm her down.

After crying for five minutes, she let go of her feelings and released Alex.

"I am truly sorry…Telling both of us to forget about it… Won't be possible, right?" Alex scratched the back of his head. "That's why…Can you forgive me for this? I will do my best to—"

Before Alex finished, she stopped him with her hand and smiled. "I…I need time. Can I go to your room for a while? I promise it won't take long."

Since the situation became like this, he nodded his head.

"Thank you." She weakly rose from the floor and walked staggeringly to his room. Closing the door, Alex could hear her sobbing sounds, but he couldn't do anything.

Three hours passed, but nothing happened. There was nothing wrong with the room, and Silvia was still there.

Suddenly, Alex sensed the fluctuation of the energy. He immediately went to his room, finding no one in the room.

He thought she went to her mansion just to get some time alone, but he saw a body on the ground. The body was like a doll, and its purpose was none other for his dead body. On the body's right hand was a piece of paper that seemed to want to address him something.

Bending down his knees, he took the paper, found the writing behind it, and read it.

"I am sorry, Alex. Everything is my and my family's fault. I never thought that the person you cared about got kidnapped by my own father. I don't want to say something to make me look like I am not at fault, and I am sorry, I really can't handle it anymore.

"I don't have a face to meet you anymore, so I should disappear again. I have made you a body that you can use to fake your death. Don't remove the needle on the face and body since it is in the nurturing process. After you think it has the same face and body as you, you may remove the needles.

"You may then pour a drop of your blood, a drop per day. This would nurture the body's constitution, blood, and Spiritual Energy to look like yours. A month is enough to become a complete body.

"You may treat it as my way of apologizing, but for me, I will always remember it as fulfilling my promise.

"And on the other hand, you will find a crystal. If you destroy the crystal and pour the powder into a compass, you will find my position. Please use it when you reach the stage where it's hard for you to get stronger. I will give you another session of acupuncture.

"I've said it, right? Even if we are separated, I will always be your friend. And I know that your burden is far higher than this, so I will help you as much as I can. However, please don't look for me other than that.

"My family is well respected, and I have been in the center of attention since young…But after meeting you, I believe that a family is built by two sides that love each other, not because of family background, strength, or wealth. It's by how happy you are with him, how enjoyable your time together, and how you wish to make the current happiness last longer to eternity.

"Unfortunately, I feel like I can't fulfill that, so please forget me. I am honored if you still think of me as your friend, but I don't dare to be called more intimate than that.

"I hope your happiness lasts until the end of time. I will be watching you from far away so that not even my father can't find me. Don't worry. I will tell my mother everything since this is my father's fault for going overboard. I will have him apologize to Eulja and try my best to fix the situation.

"People come and go…Unfortunately, this is the time where we need to part ways. Still, there is one thing that I want to convey to you. I love you…And wish you all the best. Goodbye."

Alex dropped to the floor and leaned on one of the bed's legs. He looked at the ceiling, having complex feelings. Everything looked spinning.

If he could believe and didn't put a deaf ear to her explanation, all of this wouldn't happen. He could feel the wavy parts of the paper as if the paper just got dried.

He could even imagine her crying face, and her tears fell on this paper while writing it. They might be God Rank Experts, but before that, they were only a man and a woman that had their weaknesses.

This might be the first time he wished to have the ability to turn back time, fixing this mistake.

Unknowingly, his feeling bloomed when he read the letter, albeit it was too late. He clenched his hands until blood started dripping to the ground.

[Alex…]

"I know, Anna. I know, but…"

[Do you know that when you died, I wanted to kill myself? I even prepared to go to another place and destroyed many planets until someone killed me? But then I realized…Time will heal your wound, and the people around you will accelerate that.]

[I was glad to have two sisters beside me that pulled me before I died. That's why… It's never a goodbye until you die, so don't give up. Even after you died and got my determination back, I didn't give up a single time, and finally…Everything was rewarded.]

[It's never too late. It's just whether you want to fight for it or not.]

Alex closed his eyes and bit his lips. He was pensive, looking back at the time he spent with Silvia.

The time kept flowing until two hours passed. Alex pinched the bridge of his nose, having finished sorting his thoughts.

"I am sorry. I have made you worried." Alex made a small smile. "That's right. This is not a goodbye."

He grabbed a marker from his Inventory and crossed the word "Goodbye" in the letter. He then wrote three words under it, saying, "See you later."

"I will let some time pass. In the meantime, I will handle all the immediate business like meeting your father and mother, meeting with Song Tao for my new spear, and other things. After that, I will search for her again, telling her this is still not over.

"Let the wound recover a little, so I can see whether we can get together again or not. After all, I will just be a nuisance if I come to her right now. If there is still a chance, I will do my best to make it work again. If not…Then I will also wish her happiness."

With newfound determination, he slowly rose from the floor, grabbed the crystal, and stored it inside his Inventory since a Space Ring could be taken, but the Inventory could not. He then placed the body double to the side and stored the letter.

"I am sorry, but I will chase her." Alex apologized again, feeling a bit guilty to chase another woman in front of his wives.

[We will support your decision. Besides, you still have more than two years from the end of the promise.]

Alex smiled when hearing this and agreed. "Yeah. The beginning has an end, and no end has a beginning. Since this relationship is basically over, it will be the mark of a new relationship. This time, I will strive for a stronger one that can't be shaken anymore."

With this thought, he finally fixed his appearance to avoid making Aria worry and came to the training field.
