CHAPTER 334 - Rewarding the Generals.
CHAPTER 334 - Rewarding the Generals.
Alex was happy for sure; just the fact that Ann was at the hero's party was enough to let him know that she wouldn't be facing any problems that she wouldn't be able to deal with.
If a hero was summoned into a despairing situation, then he would gain all the support one could ask for; that was just how it went, so Alex knew that Ann, being a party member of the hero of humanity, wouldn't have a problem.
At least not until she went out to fight against the enemy of humanity—the demons and demonic beasts.
But being relieved didn't mean that he was going to ignore more pressing issues in front of him.
That was the reason for his eyes to shine with utmost seriousness.
About his facial expression, though...
Well, let's just say that he was happy to hear some positive news from someone other than Sophia about Ann.
"My lord, just as you have asked of me, I have gathered the names of anyone who seems to have had a change in their personality in the past few days.
I also have their pictures and their background information as well."
Valerius spoke as he waved his hand, making a stack of papers appear in his hand before Alex nodded his head and made a grabbing motion.
*Swoosh*
The stack of papers, as if controlled by the wind, started to levitate before they shot toward Alex.
Alex had gotten very good at controlling the basic elements, so much so that he could say with confidence that there would be no one in this world who could control the four basic elements better than him.
For now, however, his eyes were fixed on the bundle of sheets resting on his palm.
"Hm, I was expecting more names..."
Alex muttered as he weighed the stacked sheets.
"There were a lot of them, my lord; I just sorted them out and removed the ones that seemed nonsensical."
Valerius shook his head and explained why the names were not as many as Alex had expected.
The thing that Alex had asked for included a vast variety of people, after all.
Alex wanted the names of anyone who had been acting strangely, even if it was just for a while in the past few days.
That included people who suddenly had a change in their personality or people who suddenly started to act out.
In the demon empire, every day, many demons awaken their bloodlines, causing their personalities to change a bit, so the names Valerius found were a lot.
But he crossed out the ones that were bloodline-related changes and only kept the ones that seemed strange, yet the names were enough to fill tens of sheets.
"I see..."
Alex nodded his head, and the stack of sheets vanished from his palm, straight into his system storage.
Alex cleared their doubts while still doing the role play that Luna had asked him to, and somehow he liked it.
It gave him a regal feeling—something he felt he was familiar with yet unfamiliar with at the same time.
The two demon generals, however, soon noticed the third glass container that was floating in front of Malak, and their eyes widened.
'He gets it even though he failed?!'
They didn't know whether they should be happy about it or sad about it.
They wanted to be happy that their comrade was not falling behind, but they felt it was a bit unfair at the same time.
"Malak."
But they decided to keep their dissatisfaction to themselves.
It was not their place to speak.
Malak, however, had his eyes tremble the moment he lifted his head.
The thing he saw right in front of his eyes was not something he was supposed to receive.
"Take it."
But even before he could come out of his shock, Alex's words were heard, causing his shocked gaze to turn toward Alex.
*Chuckle*
Alex, on the other hand, just chuckled as he saw the funny look on Malak's face.
It was as if he was happy yet confused at the same time.
"I never let hard work go to waste, and I can see that you put in your best effort to search for her. So, accept the reward."
Alex's voice turned commanding as he ordered Malak to take the reward.
He was happy after he heard about Ann, so he decided to let Malak have it easy this time.
But when he saw Malak trying to open his lips in order to deny the reward, he frowned.
"Never spurn fortune when it knocks at your door, Malak.
This will be the only time I'm offering this, so be mindful of what you say next. Once I take it back, the opportunity will be lost."
His words froze Malak, and he finally realized his mistake.
