Primordial Soul's Rebirth

CHAPTER 349 - At least he's alive.



Alex wanted the plot to continue but not unadministered.

He wanted to be there to observe anything and everything, as he wanted to interfere the moment he thought that Lokiath was going to get an advantage.

So, he arrived at the moment he knew that the real thing was happening.

He then told the guys to continue what they were doing, but it looked like they took it in a bad way.

Alex didn't want that.

He wanted the plot to continue; if he were to stop the plot right now, then Lokiath would have something else happen to him later, and that something would give him more profit than what he was supposed to gain.

Then the problem was that Alex wouldn't be there to turn his fortune into misfortune.

[If you stall the plot, it would just profit the protagonist, as the plotted profit he was supposed to gain would get added to the next one.

If you were to foil the plot, however, then things would change.]

This is what Sophia had told Alex about the plotted profit that a protagonist is supposed to get.

Alex's reply to that was simple.

'I'll just destroy it then.'

That was what he was going to do now, so he began as he looked at the group of young demons.

"Know this: I'm not much older than any of you—perhaps even younger than some.

Do you really think I wouldn't take an interest in the affairs of those around my own age?"

Alex questioned all of them as his gaze focused on the main characters of the discussion, Lokiath, Maurice, and Elenia. Your next chapter awaits on empire

He was ignoring Rosaline for now, as he knew that ignoring her would be much better for his future plans.

But the mature woman, who saw herself being ignored by Alex and not even being spared a glance by the demon lord, who was like her secret crush, caused her to lower her head again.

Small drops of tears formed at the corner of her eyes, but she held them in.

She regretted not being more forceful and stopping Lokiath when he did all those things with her.

The youngsters, however, were left flabbergasted by Alex's words.

'What?!'

'He's of the same age group?'Nôv(el)B\\jnn

'He's lying for sure...'

'How is he so strong, then...?'

'What kind of milk did he drink when he was a kid?'

'Pretentious mf...'

Everyone had different thoughts, but one thing was common, they were shocked.

It was not just them, though; even the older ones who heard Alex's words had their eyes widened to their extreme.

Other than Azaroth, who was way stronger than Alex, no one else had ever been able to judge Alex's age, so when they heard those words, their shock wasn't unwarranted.

"Hm?"

But not getting a response from any of them, Alex frowned; that frown caused the young demons to break out of their thoughts.

"Of course you would be interested, my lord."

The first to speak was a demon with tanned skin and black hair, his black eyes gleaming with a flaunting light as he rubbed his palms together.

"Hmmmm..."

*Step*

Alex nodded his head as he finally stepped down the last stair, and just as he did...

*Woosh* X4

A light breeze blew and four people appeared right behind Alex with their eyes scanning the crowd.

They were Azaroth, Valerius, Morvan, and Malak.

Nyx was also there, but he wasn't visible, more like he was beside Alex from the moment he appeared.

"What is your name?"

Alex questioned as he scanned the guy who had spoken earlier.

"Volvic Jagorth greets the demon lord."

The guy, Volvic, hurriedly bowed his head, his body relaxed, showing his subservience.

"Hm, then you must be the crown prince of the Jagorth kingdom."

Alex thought for a second before he spoke with a look of realization.

"It is as you have guessed, my lord."

Volvic, who heard Alex's words smiled in elation.

The demon lord remembering his name and pointing it out in front of everyone was something to be proud of; he could use it to rub on other demons' faces later on.

But before the guy could enjoy his short-lived happiness, Alex's words resounded throughout the hall.

"Tell me, why don't I recall speaking with you?

What I do remember is addressing a certain group that managed to catch my eye."

His question wiped the smile off Volvik's face, leaving nothing but a look of sheer dread.

Even the king and queen of the kingdom of Jagorth, who were getting smug about their son catching the demon lord's eyes, momentarily froze in their spots.

'Please, no...'

The eyes of the king of Jagorth started getting clouded with despair.

Everyone knew what had happened to Rohrg and his family, just because that guy went against Alex, so the scene looked a bit similar to them.

"What are you still standing here for?"

Much to their relief, though, Alex didn't go overboard this time; he just waved his hand, and Valerious stepped forward, questioning the guy with a frown.

The guy, however, didn't get the time to come up with a reply as Valerius waved his hand, and...

*Baam**Crash*

The guy was sent hurtling through the air until he crashed onto the wall of the ballroom, falling to the ground with a thud.

*Thud*

Volvik was left unconscious on the ground with blood flowing out of his mouth, but his chest was still heaving, indicating that he was still alive.

"Sigh..." X2

That alone was enough to make the king and the queen of the Jagorth kingdom sigh in relief.

'At least he's alive...'

That's what they thought, but they didn't move to help him get treated.

'He should learn when to speak and when not to.'

The king of the Jagorth kingdom thought as he stopped his wife from moving as well.

This was now going to be his punishment for bringing shame to them.

The other kings and queens, who were staring at them with envy a while ago, were now snickering at them.

Alex, on the other hand, stepped toward the group of Lokiath and the others, causing their bodies, which were relaxing when they heard his talk about being of the same age group as them, to tense again.

This small event reminded them that no matter what his age was, or no matter how much he was smiling, Alex was still the same unpredictable demon lord they knew about.

He hasn't turned into a friendly neighborhood demon lord who would step into the crowd and mingle with them.

His calm and positive smile now looked like a sly grin to them; the majesty and grandiosity that shone in his red eyes now looked like the eyes of a predator looking for his prey.

So, with tense bodies and racing minds, the small group of young demons watched as Alex inched closer to them with slow and calm steps.
