"…" A few seconds passed by quietly after General Glaivewood said these words, as if he was waiting for something to happen.

The whole crowd held their breath as they waited in silence too, with their bodies showing the indication of making a move at the slightest sound.

This weird atmosphere made Alex sigh inwardly, although he showed no signs of distress or unease on his face. Instead, he just played along with the crowd.

"I see, I see. The one that I attacked now was not the entirety of Jellarmo." General Glaivewood suddenly said as he let out a disappointed expression. He made no move to attack the spaceship, as if he had lost any motivation to attack it.

"So this is why I felt weird when I attacked Jellarmo. As it turns out, he's not really in this ship…." General Glaivewood continued to say to himself, in a moderately loud tone that was heard by everyone below him.

"…"

From the way that this general talked, it was as if he did not care if they heard what he was saying. Even when he was talking about a potentially important information about Jellarmo, this general did not hold anything back as he just let everyone hear about it.

Naturally, this drew a reaction from the crowd.

"General Glaivewood, judging from the words that you just said, are you saying that you were not able to successfully defeat Jellarmo?" One of the teachers asked fearlessly as she looked at General Glaivewood.

She seemed to be unperturbed by the power that General Gliavewood had, which can be seen from the 'reckless' question that she had just asked.

Fortunatley for this teacher, General Glaivewood accepter her question with magnanimity.

"IT PAINS ME TO SAY IT, BUT YOU ARE RIGHT. I WAS UNABLE TO DEFEAT JELLARMO, AS WHAT I HAD JUST DEFEATED HERE WERE JUST A MERE PART OF HIM." General Glaivewood said as he let out another sigh.

He then looked flicked his palm in front of him, which scattered the blue dust that he had just pinched earlier.

"THE REASON THAT JELLARMO APPEARED TO BE WEAK NOW WAS BECAUSE HE HACKED THIS SHIP WITH ONLY HIS NAIL. THAT… IS SOMETHING THAT I FIND HARD TO BELIVE EVEN NOW." General Glaivewood muttered as he let out a wry chuckle. This chuckle made the people below shiver lightly, as they can feel the killing intent that was hidden in his laugh.

This killing intent was both potent and silent, which was enough to make everyone treat the general with more respect.

"I DO NOT KNOW HOW JELLARMO MANAGED TO CONTROL THIS SHIP BY USING JUST A PART OF HIS BODY, BUT THERE IS ONE THING THAT I AM SURE OF. JELLARMO IS SURELY STILL ON THIS PLANET. AFTER ALL, I CAN SENSE THAT THE THING THAT I DESTROYED HERE IS CONNECTED TO SOMEONE LIVING IN THIS PLANET." General Glaivewood said as he slung his spear onto his back.

He then gave the people below him a casual farewell wave which was followed by him suddenly flying away from the place.


"I KNOW THAT YOU ALL WANT ME TO STAY HERE, BUT ALAS I CANNOT DO THAT, AS I HAVE TO LOOK FOR JELLARMO RIGHT NOW…" General Glaivewood said in a voice that sounded fainter because of his sudden departure. "SINCE HE'S HERE AT THIS PLANET, I HAVE TO FOLLOW MY DUTIES AS A GENERAL AND CAPTURE HIM…"

And with that, the dashing and impressive General Glaivewood has fully left the place, leaving a massive crowd of people in stunned silence.

"That's it?" This was the only thing that were thought by everyone as the general's silhouette disappeared on the horizon.

Even though they were saved by the general in an impressive manner, they could still not help but feel slightly aggrieved, as the general seemed to by trying to avoid them.

Of course none of them dared to vocalize this complaint. They were perfectly okay with what happened to them now, and they cannot just ask for more.

"Um… now that this place if safe, can we get back our items now? There's no need to keep them here in a pile, right?"

These words uttered by one of the people sent the whole crowd into a frenzy, as each one of them went straight back to the loot pile.

"Thud thud thud thud."

Sounds of collision could be heard as numerous people shoved and pushed their way back into the loot pile.

They seemed to not care about the people behind them as they were only focused on taking their items back.

This enthusiastic action by the crowd created another chaotic situation, which made Wisteria sigh in exasperation.

"Ugh…. Now that the threat has disappeared here, everyone just went back to being their selves again. How irritating." Wisteria muttered as looked at the loot pile with a slightly apathetic look.

With the cheap-ass items that she had 'donated' in the pile, there's no way that Wisteria is that urgent to get them back.

After all, nobody else aside from her will surely take these old and used items. All that Wisteria had to do was to wait, and she can make her way to her own items.

"Money and properties really brings out the true nature of a person. For it, they were willing to forgo order even when they just went through a life-death situation. Tsk, how materialistic of them."

Wisteria then let out a snort at this point as she let out a scowl. "Hmm… I wonder what is Mister Alexander's reaction to this temptation? Will he also succumb?, or will he go right through it?" After Wisteria thought of this to herself, she quickly spun her head at Alex's direction.

"What's your problem again? Why are you staring at me?" Alex said as he stared back at Wisteria. "Did I get more handsome now?"

"…Okay, so this man is still the same. I don't know if I should be relieved from that…" Wisteria thought wryly to herself as she shook her head at Alex.

"I just glanced at you for a second. Mister Alexander. I did nothing else other than that." Wisteria muttered as she crossed her arms. "Don't make anything out of it"

"Oh really."

"Yes, that's the truth." Wisteria continued to say as she ignored Alex's jibe. "Just accept It like that."

"Fine then." Alex replied as he shrugged his shoulders. "So… what do you think we should do now?'

"What do you think we should do? I think we should first help the people in the spaceship." Wisteria replied as she pointed her chin at the floating ship.

Even though the ship appeared to be still affected by the attack that the general used earlier, its whole body was still intact. There are no broken parts on the ship, with even its most fragile component appearing to still be functional. The only change that the ship had was its color which, is something that had been sucked by the black light beam.

Aside from that, some signs of life could still be still felt inside the ship, which is a good news for everyone.

"Mister Alexander, these people are still our guests, so it is our responsibility to assist them." Wisteria said as she gave Alex an imploring look. "Surely you can help them out. You're a teacher like me, so you have to assist here…"

"…"

*****************

While the people were happy with the General Glaivewood did, there was one person among them that was not happy at all.

This person was naturally Alex, who hid the displeasure in his face.

"What the f**k? Why is a General suddenly here? Shouldn't he be near the capital of the Undying Empire? F**k, because of him, my plan had been almost ruined!" Alex thought balefully to himself as he did his best to not show his anger. "Ugh, since this General is here, then that means that Emperor Litch really treats this place with importance. Tsk, I think I have to be more careful now…"

Alex was being unusually cautions right now, as the presence of this General was something that made him slightly tense. After all, Alex knew that only the best of the best can become a General in the Undying Empire.

Only those who reached the Fifth and Sixth Stage are accepted as Generals, and it was only them who enjoys numerous privileges and duties.

The privileges were hard to explain, although these privileges seemed to be enough to appease most of the Generals.

 As for the duties, they vary in difficulty, although all of them were meant to give some benefist for the Undying Empire.

One of these duties was performing special missions for the empire, with each mission unique and usually dangerous.

Aside from these things, Alex really had no other clear ides about the Generals. But even with this, Alex was sure of one thing: And that the presence of a General here will be a massive ditch on his plans!Find authorized novels in Webnovel,faster updates, better experience,Please click www.webnovel.com for visiting.

Fortunately for Alex, the Cosmic Guards had been informed already on the information about 'Jellarmo' before General Glaivewood appeared.

With this, the Cosmic Guards were now bound to arrive at this place, even when General Glaivewood killed a part of 'Jellarmo'.

"As long as the Cosmic Guards arrive here before General Glaivewood notices something wrong, then it will be my win." Alex muttered to himself as he took a slow breath. "That means that I can only wish for those space fogeys to come here quickly. If not, then all my work this time will just be put to waste…"

After thinking of these words, Alex relaxed his tense body as he continued to blend along with the celebrating people.

He let out a deep breath as he tried approaching a small crowd, who had been letting out small giggles as they recovered their items.

But before he could even approach them, Alex suddenly froze in this tracks as he realized something.

This realization was something that he had just 'realized' now, and it seemed to be enough to make him stop moving.

His whole body stayed still as his eyes narrowed, with his limbs suddenly pausing on their motion mid-swing.

Even his head has stopped entirely too, with only the slight puffs of air on his mouth the indication that he was still alive.

Granted, Alex might look weird in this state of his, but anyone who knew him personally can definitely say that Alex is just being normal right now.

If Alina was here, she will just say 'Don't worry about Alex. He just froze because of a surprising or astonishing realization. Let him stay like that for a few seconds, and he will be fine. Just… let him mull over his discovery.'

Alina was indeed right with this, as Alex was now busy on making sense of something that he had just realized now.

This realization of his was enough to make him stop moving, and he appeared to be doing his best to understand it.

"Glaivewood… That name, I can remember where it came from." Alex thought to himself as his eyes twitched. His realization appeared to have been related to General Glaivewood himsef, and from the looks of it, he was not happy about it at all.

"Aside from his name, I can also feel some kind of familiarity with his power. His power… it must be the power in that world." Alex continued to think to himself as he inwardly sighed. "F**k… why did I have to see this power again here? Isn't this just too much of a coincidence?'

Once he reached this line of thought, Alex's face turned slightly affronted, as these two pieces of clues made him reach a conclusion that made him feel extremely bleak.

"Glaivewood and his power. These two things only come from that planet, which I had already visited before…." Alex then let out a sigh as this point, as he failed to find anything that can disprove his conclusion now.

"The Monster World. The second world that I visited. That's where I encountered Teresa Glaivewood and Sylvester Glaivewood. That is also the World where I encountered the power of Essence, which General Glaivewood was using earlier." Alex thought to himself as his shoulders slightly drooped. "Could this be just a coincidence? But the names and the powers all feel familiar to me…"

In the end, he was left with no choice but to accept his conclusion, which left him with some complicated feelings
