Chapter 146 NIRVANA
With the threat of the incoming Pantheon, Alex and his allies spent the following days preparing for their arrival.
They hacked the internet and network in vain attempts to trace the action of the Pantheon members, while they also prepared objects that will prevent surprise attacks from happening.
These forced Alex and the others to be busy, but it was something that they knew will be worth it.
*********
Once Alex and the others were done doing their preparations, they spent the rest of their time doing recreational activities.
One such thing is happening now.
"Even if the Pantheon has the advantage here, I doubt they will do anything drastic with the hostages that we have." Alex said while he stared at Alina, who was lying face-down on the bed.
"Mpfh, mpfh."
The current Alina was only able to give muffled replies, as she was busy on experiencing Alex’s expert massage skills.
Alina was wearing tank top and shorts, which allowed Alex to massage Alina’s back well.
Right now, Alex was using his hands to explore the entirety of Alina’s back, which made him both excited and nervous.
"Mpfh, mpfh!"
Alex continued kneading his hands on Alina’s pristine back, as he tried to ignore the mewling sounds that came out from Alina.
It was a good thing that it was only Alex and Alina that was in the room, as even Alex noticed that Alina’s mewling sounds were starting to affect him.
"...." Alex tried to calm his breathing down as he resumed his massage.
"I am Calm, and the Calm is me." Alex muttered this mantra to himself as he ignored the soft sensation of Alina’s back being pressed down by his hands.
But while he was busy chanting to himself, Alex could not help but look down, and what he saw there made his resolve almost futile.
Alina’s shorts allowed Alex to have a view of her shapely thighs and pristine legs, and with Alex’s preferences, it felt like he was seeing heaven for the first time.
"Hey Alina, can I start massaging your legs now?" Alex tried to say these words in a calm manner, although anyone looking at him can see his hands starting to tremble in excitement. "I promise you that this will be good."
"...Just get done with it." That was Alina’s reply as she seemed to have realized Alex’s goal. "Just don’t... get too engrossed with it."
"I will try." Alex hurriedly replied as he placed his hands on Alina’s thighs.
NIRVANA
Alex’s mind went blank after feeling the soft and bouncy sensation of Alina’s thighs. He could not help but squeeze them, prompting some muffled moans from Alina.
After that, Alex immediately went into auto-pilot mode, using all the massaging techniques that he can on Alina’s legs.
Roll, knead, pinch, slap, squeeze, and many more hand and elbow movements were incorporated by Alex in his massage rush.
By the end of the session, Alina was turned into a sweaty mess, with her face flushed red.
Her breathing was short as she spent the rest of Alex’s massage muffling her moans.
"Hah, hah, hah."
Alina’s rough breathing reached Alex’s ears, and before he could know it, he started to breath roughly too.
He looked down at Alina’s body, which seemed to look more seductive with her sweat and clothes.
What made Alex more excited was the glazed look on Alina’s eyes, as if she was still unable to recover from what Alex did earlier.
"..."
Alex reached his hand out in order to touch Alina’s waist, but before he could do so, he suddenly felt the arrival of a presence in front of the mansion.
"What the?" Alex and Alina immediately stood up after sensing the presence, with Alex shifting to his tentacle form and Alina shifting to the Vampire Queen Form and wearing her costume.
Both of them rushed out of their room, with the worry inside them wiping away their engrossing experience earlier.
"Is it an enemy attack?" That is the first thing that Alex thought as he regrouped with his Companions and the Alchemists, who also looked quite wary.
Alex ignored the knowing smirk on Asteria’s face as he and the others slowly prepared themselves for what was coming.
Alex sensed the gravity waves around him, preparing them in case that something massive approaches their location.
He also summoned his Abyss Sprites, who looked just as worried as him.
"...."
Once they were done prepping themselves, Alex and co. tried to see what their guest will do, but to their surprise, their guest just stayed in its original position, with it not budging at all.
"This is suspicious..." That was what Alex first thought to himself as he noticed what was happening. "This could be a trap by them too. I... need to ascertain this."
This time around, Alex used his EM Manipulation in order to see the appearance of their visitor.
"???" To Alex’s surprise, what he saw was the one that he did not expect.
The one in front of the mansion was a man, who seemed to be consumed by too much stress.
The man’s hair was thin, and his skin looked like they were not given that much care.
The man was wearing thick-rimmed glasses, even though these glasses failed to hide his eyebags and his inflamed eyes.
The man’s face was also beaded with sweat, as if he was not happy with what he was doing.
"...." Alex knew just from one look that his man was not a Pantheon member. Hell, this man did not even look like a hero at all!
Before Alex could feel confused about this man, his eyes suddenly widened as he remembered seeing a picture which looked quite similar to the man’s appearance right now.
Now that Alex looked at it, the picture that he had seen before was almost uncanny with the man that he was seeing right now.
"Lauren... I think you should see our guest." Alex said as he motioned for Lauren to move.
"But why-" Lauren’s reply was cut-off by Alex as he glared at Lauren intensely.
"I think you should really see him now." Alex said as he placed his hands on Lauren’s shoulders, steering her to walk forward. "If you do not trust me with what I say, then I will accompany you."
Before the confused Lauren could start complaining, Alex started to bring Lauren towards the outside of the mansion.
While he was bringing Lauren out, Alex instructed the others to be in standby.
"Why the hell do you want me to see our ’guest’ personally? Is it important for me to do that?" Lauren muttered in complaint as they reached the main door of the mansion.
"It is." Alex said as he touched the door. "But before you see this person, let me say sorry now."
"What the hell are you talki-" Alex ignored what Lauren was about to say as he opened the door.
At the instant that Alex opened the door, he saw Lauren freezing on her tracks, as if she saw something that petrified her.
Alex looked at where Lauren was looking, and there he saw their guest.
"..." Now that he was seeing him with his own eyes, Alex was now sure that the man in front of him was similar to the picture of the person that he hacked before!
"What the hell are you doing here?" That was the first words that Lauren muttered as her body started to tremble greatly. "After all these years that you have left us, you decided to come back just now? What the f**k are you thinking, huh?"
Lauren then raised both of her palms in front of her as she pointed it to their guest.
"Even if you were my father, I will still not forget what you did to us!"
"Parley, parley!" The guest shouted in panic as he raised his arms in surrender. "I am not here to make things worse! I promise that!"
"Then what the hell are you doing here, Andrew Collins?" Alex said with venom dripping on his voice. "You were the father of Lauren and Lara Collins, who you left 5 years ago. You left them in poverty, and now you just waltz in here to talk to them? How gallant of you."
"F**k off from this place!" Lauren shrieked as the glow in her palms started to increase. "You will not like what I will do you if you take one step further!"
"Please, please, just hear me out first, ok?" The man, whose real name was Andrew Collins, said as he suddenly kneeled in front of Alex.
"Then speak, mongrel." Alex replied, showing his distasted for deadbeat fathers like Andrew Collins. "Once you have said your piece, I will allow you to leave in one piece. So, just stop groveling there and start talking!"
"Ok, ok!" Andrew replied as he looked at his daughter warily.
He adjusted his glasses and wiped the sweat from his forehead as he slowly said,
"I-I-I am not just here to talk with my daughters. I am also here to talk about something that you, Eldritch, will find interesting."
"And what could that interesting thing be?" Alex said as he looked at the man suspiciously.
"I-I-I know something about the Legacy that you were looking for!" Andrew shouted as desperation appeared on his face. "I-I-I can tell you everything that I know about it! So-so-so please let me in! I-I-I don’t want to die here! Please... let me in!"
"!!!!"
