"Cough, cough!"
With a muffled groan, blood seeped out from the corner of the man's mouth. His eyes were fixated on Alex. What a terrifying physical strength. He even felt that Alex had sent him flying without even using his spirit energy. Was this really the strength of a person's body? What would have happened if Alex would have used his spirit energy as well?
The other two guards also froze. Alex was so strong.
What they did not know was that this was only the result of Alex showing mercy. If not, the three would have been already dead by now.
It was not Alex's place to say anything about why the old guard acted fiercely toward Olav. After all, it is Olav's personal problem with his family. He saved Olav and that was all he was planning to do. He would not go to have a pointless fight against the entire Lightfoot Family just to save Olav.
Of course, he was not planning to let go of Olav that easily. He will first try and see if the Abyssal Pearl could awaken the Blood Devouring Abyssal Bloodline that is running in Olav's blood.
If he could awaken the bloodline with Abyssal Pearl, he will immediately replicate this bloodline.
And then, he and Olav would be just normal friends. Nothing more and nothing less.
"Sir, we apologize for our rude behavior just now. You should already know the rule of our restaurant since you are here. With your strength, you are qualified to enter the Eighth Floor of our Star Heart Restaurant, but his cultivation is still not high enough to enter. This person's cultivation does not match the required cultivation base to enter the Eighth Floor, so we chased after him." One of the guards hurriedly said to Alex and Olav. Although Alex had injured him, it undoubtedly proved that Alex's strength was enough to step into it.
At the same time, he still pretended to not know Olav.
"You all..."
Olav was so angry that his body started trembling.
The guard's eyes flickered, not knowing how to deal with it, but at this moment, he heard indifferent voices slowly drifting over from upstairs.
"Let them come up."
This voice was soft and drifting. It seemed extremely casual and indifferent.
The guard on the eighth floor was stunned for a moment, then nodded his head and said to Alex and Olav: "Please."
Olav frowned and muttered: "Serena Lightfoot!"
Alex heard him clearly but did not think much of it.
Olav also did not say anything after that. The two of them made their way up to the Eighth Floor.
The Eighth Floor of the Star Heart Restaurant was different from the lower floors. There was only one huge table. The crowd of people sat around the table, and in front of each of them was a wine glass.
When Alex and Olav stepped onto the ninth floor, the gazes of the crowd landed on them. They sized up Alex and Olav and instantly saw through Olav's cultivation base. However, they were unable to see through Alex's cultivation base which made them frown. But then again, they think Alex must be hiding his cultivation with a treasure's help. It is no wonder they could not see through him.
Alex was also sizing up the crowd. These people were all older people, their eyes were sharp, and their auras were restrained. Those who could step foot here were at least at Initial-leveled Divine Lords, and none of them were weak. Of course, they also brought the younger generation of their family here to enjoy the wine and have fun.
When Alex's gaze landed on a person, he paused for a moment. It was a pretty girl sitting in the lead. She was cold and noble, with an outstanding temperament, and was extremely beautiful. With a single glance, one could tell that she was a girl who came from a big family. As she casually sat there, it was as if there was a force there, an invisible force, that kept people from approaching her.
She was the daughter of the Lightfoot Family's head, one of the three most famous youths in Heavenly Ice City, Serena Lightfoot!
Serena sized up Alex and Olav a few times. In the end, her gaze landed on Olav and she said: "Olav, why are you here?"
"He is Olav Lightfoot?"
Everyone's gaze immediately fell on Olav. The crowd's curiosity toward Olav was far greater than that of an inconspicuous person like Alex. It is mainly because Olav was very famous for being the useless son of his genius father.
"And why can't I be here? I am also a Lightfoot after all. And those guards... They actually disregarded my identity and attacked me. That old bastard even wanted to kill him. Looks like you all fear that I might find my father and bring him back to the family. When that time comes, you all will have to answer my father for all the bullying I suffered. At that time, even your father has to step down from the head's seat. That is why you all do not want me to even leave the Heavenly Ice City and sent Roald and his group to capture me back."
Olav sneered and said coldly.
Even though Olav said so many things and almost humiliated her father, Serena had no reaction. Her face was expressionless as she calmly repeated her question: "I asked, why are you here?"
Her meaning was clear. She only wanted to hear the answer to her question, not wanting to listen to anything else.
Olav took a deep breath and sighed. Then he looked into Serena's eyes and loosened up, saying: "That... Cousin, I'm here with my friend to drink Star Heart Wine!"
The sudden change in attitude not only shocked the crowd of people but also surprised Alex. He did not expect Olav to change his way of speaking just like that.
He looked at Serena's information panel and was surprised to learn that she does not have a cultivation base at all. There was no information about her cultivation base, cultivation talent, unique talents, martial arts skills, or concepts. The information panel was shockingly short.
[Name: Serena Lightfoot.
Special Physique: Mystic Illusory Body, Ancient Mystic Thunder Body.
Bloodline: Mystic Illusory Bloodline.
Soul: Mystic Illusory Soul.
Note: She is the reincarnation of Mystic Illusory Empress of Clear Sky World!]
There was very little information about her, but this short information alone greatly shocked Alex.
Alex was not shocked to learn that she is the reincarnation of Mystic Illusory Empress, he was shocked to learn that she was actually from the Clear Sky World.
It has to be known that Alex's other half of the soul was also from the Clear Sky World. His parents of that world were still alive and had been looking for him. Because they are looking for him without care for their own status and life, they have already fallen into a very perilous situation.
Alex wanted to go there as soon as possible, but he has no way of traveling to the Clear Sky World.
He just has to go through a test and obtain the Myriad World Mirror from the Valley of Death, and then he could go to the Clear Sky World or any other world as he wishes.
In short, Alex's relationship with the Clear Sky World was deep.
He did not expect someone else to reincarnate in the Essence Sky World from the Clear Sky World just like him.
Was it just a coincidence?
Or is there a special reason?
Alex could not tell.
But he immediately decided to get to know this lady. It seems he has to get to know her no matter what. From her, he might learn something important.
"And who are you, sir? You are a good man, but it seems inappropriate that you should intrude upon my family's restaurant and even beat up the guards here."
At this time, Serena finally looked at Alex and asked. It had been a long time since anyone had dared to intrude into the Star Heart Restaurant and even beat up guards here. She did not expect to meet one today.
"Profound Sky Region, Nine Star Mountain Sect, Alex White."
Alex slowly replied in a few words, which surprised the crowd. It turned out that Alex actually came from the Profound Sky Region, and he was actually from one of the overlord forces there, the Nine Star Mountain Sect.
"Are you here to participate in the auction?"
Serena asked again. In this life, she was a member of the Lightfoot Family, one of three families that is going to hold the auction.
Alex nodded his head again. Immediately, the gazes of the others changed slightly as they looked at Alex.
This strange young man who had suddenly entered the eighth floor had actually come to the Heavenly Ice City of the Ice Sky Region to participate in an auction.
