Chapter 560 Then, help him out
Alice walked back, pondering along the way, and realized where the confusion lay.
Those passersby had mentioned a name!
The Obliterator!
Although she hadn't heard anyone directly call William the Obliterator, she could now confirm that William was indeed the Obliterator.
When the passersby talked about the Obliterator, they mentioned that he was Artemis's husband, close to Poseidon, and well-connected with many powerhouses in the Divine Realm...
She remembered Apollo also calling William his brother-in-law!
And his deep connections with many powerhouses in the Divine Realm!
A super powerhouse!
That meant William was the Obliterator!
Her tenure as a Soulmancer was still short, and she had been naive about many things before.
On Earth, the general perception was that high-level Soulmancers were among the very strong.
That was until she met Garen.
Then she thought, perhaps the Demi-God level must be the most powerful.
Even if William was powerful, she assumed he was at most at the Quasi-Deity level.
It was only upon arriving in the Divine Realm that she realized, no matter how good you are, there's always someone better.
At first, she felt fortunate to be by William's side, believing her progress in cultivation was rapid and hoping it wouldn't take long to catch up with William.
At worst, being young and already possessing billions in assets, the couple had no worries about food and clothing, living happily and doing whatever they wanted.
Being with the person she loved, everything felt joyful.
But over these two days, she finally understood the vast gap between her and William!
Was her cultivation speed fast?
Wasn't it because of the powerful secret techniques taught by William?
Was she strong?
Ha!
Without William giving her the Sword of Soulbreaker, what was she, really?
Even a dog wielding the Sword of Soulbreaker, a peerless divine artifact, could become a super powerhouse in the Divine Realm!
As for those billions of dollars in assets…
Now, thinking back on her grandfather's attitude towards William.
It didn't seem like the way one treats an old friend, but more like…
A servant treating their master!
If William really wanted money, it would be effortless for him.
Walking back, Alice was deep in thought, suddenly feeling that she simply wasn't worthy of William!
The husband of Artemis?
William's former wife must have been very outstanding.
Thinking this, Alice couldn't help feeling a bit sorrowful, seeming in William's eyes, she must have always been hopelessly foolish.
Reflecting on their time together, aside from her meditation and intensive training, they had actually spent just three or four months together.
During these months, William was far from tender towards her, seemingly indifferent. In emotional matters, William was like a boy who is slow to love, yet she fell for this love-clumsy boy without looking back.
William indeed expressed his love, but in his unique way.
Like kicking Alice off a cliff, even making her live alone at the bottom for so long, or his words that could infuriate someone to death.
He even dared to have Alice, a high-level Soulmancer, face off in a life-and-death battle with an archangel of Nature Deity strength.
But in Alice's memory, the first thing she would see upon waking from meditation was William by her side.
William would put her in danger, but he would never let real harm come to her.
She could feel William's love for her.
It's just that now, she felt unworthy!
Alice's thoughts weighed heavy on her, and she walked slowly on the latter part of the journey.
But she was well aware that as long as she appeared confident, no one would dare to touch her.
Showing even a hint of nervousness could invite deadly danger.
Her journey, at least in her inner world, was incredibly winding.
Upon reaching the gate of the estate, she smelled the aroma of delicious food.
Alice couldn't help but feel her nose tingle.That such a powerful person as William would cook for her, what more could such considerate actions express?
She might be weak now, but she could strive harder, to become stronger!
Even if she couldn't reach the heights that William had, at least she shouldn't disappoint him!
To become better for the person she loves, to become sufficiently excellent, that's what she aimed to do now.
Alice hadn't noticed that William had been watching from outside the pharmacy earlier, nor did she realize someone was following her.
William, carrying two dishes from the kitchen, saw Alice standing dumbly at the door and called out, "What are you standing there for? Come and eat!"
Alice rubbed her eyes and trotted in, fetching two sets of cutlery from the kitchen.
"I have to tell you! I earned three energy crystals today!" Alice, barely sitting down, couldn't wait to share her experiences with William.
Girls are like that,when they like someone, they want to share everything with them.
Pretending to be unaware of her day, William smiled, "That's really great! Keep it up! Try this dish first, Lapin à la moutarde."
William didn't meddle in how Alice chose to act,he could clearly sense Alice's progress.
To be honest, Alice wasn't dumb,it's just that William's standards were exceptionally high. Even the three high-ranking Olympian gods didn't seem very smart to him.
Even Poseidon's powerful move, Poseidon's Stormblade, appeared quite ordinary to William. Truly impressing him was exceedingly difficult.
From becoming a Soulmancer to now, in just a few short years, Alice had progressed at a meteoric rate compared to those who had undergone thousands of years of rigorous training to reach her level.
Alice's progress could indeed be considered as swift as flight.
At least, it was her fortune!
Sometimes, good fortune outweighs everything!
Just as Alice sat down, the pharmacy owner knocked on the door, asking, "Miss who can use alchemy, may I come in?"
Alice was stunned, turning back to look at him, asking, "How did you get here?"
The pharmacy owner was equally stunned, "Didn't you agree to let me follow?"
The two stared at each other, completely bewildered.
In Alice's view, she had never said that this guy could follow her.
But to the pharmacy owner, Alice did not refuse his following behind her, which he interpreted as a hint that he could come along.
Was there a problem?
If Alice really was at the Destroyer Deity level, she should have noticed him following her earlier.
Yet, she didn't stop him from following, which meant, in his interpretation, that she was allowing him to come so that Alice would help craft the Frost Spirit Elixir.
Seeing the somewhat awkward atmosphere, William said to the pharmacy owner, "Since you're already here, come on in!"
The pharmacy owner, confused and unable to discern William's level of power, could only walk into the yard.
And then he just stood there.
He couldn't determine the strength level of either person in front of him, even if they had some magical artifact that hid their true power levels, their real identities were certainly not simple.
The pharmacy owner stood aside, watching William and Alice eat.
William had allowed him in but didn't invite him to join the meal. Instead, he casually asked Alice, "What does he want from you?"
"He wants me to craft some Frost Spirit Elixir." Influenced by William, Alice spoke with a detached tone, as if crafting the Frost Spirit Elixir was a trivial task.
"What's his offer?" William asked.
"Ten thousand energy crystals."
"Then just help him out." William put down his fork, looked at the pharmacy owner, and asked, "You're providing the materials?"
The pharmacy owner excitedly said, "I will!"
"What if it fails?" William asked with a smile.
"If it fails, it's my loss!" The pharmacy owner, influenced by their tone, boldly stated.
William's smile deepened, and he said to Alice, "Then, help him out."
