Alexander didn't speak back to the voice of the old man again.
Now wearing robes that hid his figure and faced well, he walked towards the people feeding Chu Feng and Nadia.
He discovered the information from standing around the slums for almost two hours; they would call him the "wretched" bastard with high pride and then speak about how sad Nadia's life was.
They painted her as a tragic heroine that supported her lover.
'Disgusting.'
His feet stepped forward, watching for the blonde woman's appearance, which didn't take long; her face looked haggard, and new scars and bruises filled her face.
'I see; this is why the rumours are so bad...'
[Will you involve her in this?]
The old man's voice was shrill and seemed upset, but Alexander ignored it; the sins of the past were too late to fix, and he didn't care about morals or that crap.
She drugged Ayami and Himari and thus would die.
Alexander's eyes turned into a glare, and he stood before Nadia, blocking her view of the sun and vendor.
"Where is he?"
His words were short and sharp, and he didn't bother to look at the two as he waited for them to get up.
"Who are you?"
He could feel the fear in her voice, her body trembling while stepping back several times and grabbing her weapon, but the blade rattled and shook in her unsteady hands.
"Is he still wounded and useless?" He asked with a deep voice, causing her body to jump with fear.
"W-who are you?!"
Her voice was louder now, but Alexander didn't bother to look at her as he slowly walked towards the tent.
"I am the person that is going to save you,"
He spoke softly, his voice reaching everyone's ears.
"But first, I need to know where Chu Feng is."
Nadia's eyes widened, and she raised her voice, "What do you mean?! You can't just walk in here and-"
"Shut up!"
His voice was loud, and he turned around, glaring at her intensely.
"Do not dare speak to me with such insolence, or I will kill you right here and now."
Alexander didn't have the time to listen to her babbling on; he wanted to go home, meet Stella and finish their vows, something so mundane he only did to protect Ayami; if he left this little bastard to run free, who knows if he might find a wonder cure or recover.
'If it's for my Vesta and their happiness. I will become the devil himself."
He flicked his wrist, showing two brilliant red potions that shone in the sun, their colour nothing like normal healing potions, which caught the attention of Nadia first, making her swallow her dry throat.
"Here, use this to buy something to eat," Alexander whispered, tossing two Apocalypse coins to her before she relied on bartering and other means to get food scraps.
One coin could get a full three-course meal; the stranger's action didn't trigger the orders from Chu Feng's broken system in her mind.
Thus she accepted the coins, tears oozing down her cheeks, while her hand stroked her emaciated belly.
"Thank you..." Her voice was hoarse, but the thanks were genuine.
[That woman... Will you make her into a banshee?]
'No, they will be a test subject for something different... She won't suffer as much as he will.'
Alexander's eyes were cold, and he walked into the tent without saying anything.
The two guards looked at him, their eyes turning to daggers as they pointed their weapons at Alexander, but he stared at them, his eyes cold and hard.
"Get out of my way."
His voice was low, and the two guards trembled as they stepped aside, allowing him to enter the tent.
Alexander didn't know why these lower-class thugs helped Chu Feng, but he knew Nadia was using her body to "pay" them while ensuring she could provide for Chu Feng.
He grabbed the two potions in his hand, waiting for Nadia to return, while looking at the disgusting excuse for a man lying in the covers on the other side of the room, his eyes sullen filled with black circles, arms now weak and lacking muscle from his loss of the system and not upkeeping his own body through training.
"Oi, Chu Feng", Alexander called out.
The man shuddered, covering himself with his quilt, like a scared dog.
"Get up."
Alexander's voice was deep, and he walked towards the man, the potion in his hand shining and attracting his eyes.
"P-please, don't kill me..."
The man's voice was soft, and Alexander didn't say anything. Instead, he tossed the potion to the man, who caught it with trembling hands.
"This potion will allow you to become yourself once again. No longer this pathetic and useless eunuch."
A cruel lie, this potion would change him forever, a despicable mixture of the Vrykl and Vargeist infection, to create a slave that would follow Alexander's orders forever, lose his own free will if he wished, but that was not the punishment that Alexander would give this man.
He would remain relatively good-looking, but slowly, over many years, he would degrade into a disgusting corpse with rotten skin and flesh. Still, the true cruel part was although he would be restored as a man, his taste would be forever twisted.
Chu Feng would only identify Men as sexual partners; women would make him become a fearful coward that follows their every order, like a simp.
"H-how... can I trust you!?" Chu Feng cried out, but the next moment Nadia entered with a large tray of steaming food, the first time they could eat hot food in weeks.
"what's going on?"
Her face was confused, but Alexander ignored her, his eyes fixed on Chu Feng.
"Eat it."
The man's eyes were filled with fear, but he didn't dare refuse as he quickly drank the potion in one gulp.
Alexander didn't wait; he immediately cast his spell, the Vrykl and Vargeist infection spreading throughout the man's body and soul, and soon, the man's body began to convulse.
"Nadia, cover your ears."
The man screamed, and Alexander's voice was cold as he watched the man's body begin to change.
Chu Feng's body began to glow, his skin became shiny and white, and his muscles bulged and filled with strength.
Soon, the man's body began to shrink; his hair turned white, his eyes red, and his face became masculine and handsome.
The man's eyes opened, and he looked at Alexander, his eyes filled with fear and his body shaking in terror.
"Ah.... he's back to normal... just with red eyes..." The soft voice of Nadia sounded, followed by her muted crying.
Despite her mind being controlled and altered beyond repair, her feelings for him were as genuine as mind-controlled puppets could be.
Thus, Alexander didn't complain or speak, just placing a small bottle in her palm and whispering in her ear.
"This will restore you to a pristine state before you begin to sell yourself on the food market; take it as my consolidation gift..."
"You should convince him that the child in your stomach is his before it's too late."
Nadia took the potion in her hand, feeling strange in her chest as the white hair of Chu Feng returned to its normal black colour.
Although he was nothing compared to Alexander, Chu Feng was a decently handsome man; he needed to be.
To charm other men.
-
Alexander didn't stay long; their punishment would not start soon; it would slowly fester in their hearts, spreading to their bodies before they both became endless corpses with no will.
[That was kind of you to help her regain purity.]
'...'
Somehow the old man was a little less savvy; surely he would know that Alexander wouldn't let them be happy like that, right?
She too will change, becoming a slut that would sleep with any man; something Alexander tried hard to do was for Chu Fengs monopoly desire towards Nadia to remain, while his disgust towards women and the inability to get an erection for them to remain.
The potion of Nadia would increase her libido five times the current and make her more than ten times more sensitive in her lower body, thus the moment she falls once.
It would be over for them; the little paradise they might recover would become a hell, despite feeling regret, anger and jealousy over his woman sleeping with other men.
No matter how hard he tries, he only gets hard for the men she sleeps with.
Alexander began to believe that this wasn't the old man Kayne knew...
A slight feeling of dread and sorrow in his chest, the appearance of another deity forces in his daughter's planet...
The sudden change in his voice once Kaliara appeared.
'I do not want to believe...'
Tap!
Before he fell into a dark place, a gentle hand tapped his shoulder; turning around, it was the cute Kaliara with a bright smile before her four arms wrapped around his body, tightly hugging him.
[That's right... Master looks okay, but his heart just quaked... a tremble that every Vesta would have felt in the entire Lone Star city...]
"Master, I am here... we are all here for you...."
"So don't cry..."
The voice was deep and distorted, but the emotions and feelings that Kaliara and Eien made him feel caused the painful thoughts and sadness to fade.
Her arms tapped his back gently like his mother did when he had an accident when he was younger.
"Thank you both..."
"!!!"
[He knows!?]
Alexander chuckled at their reaction before stroking the soft red cheek of Kaliara.
"You are too gentle, Eien; I knew from how you spoke that you would never devour her."
"Otherwise, you would have used the souls of my Vesta to grow stronger instead of giving them a chance to live again."
He watched the reaction of the two in complete sync, looking shocked, before grasping their slightly hard exoskeleton-covered hands and dragging her towards the exit.
"Come on, girls, go home and meet our family."
"I am sure they missed us."
