And as the sun reared, Alex and Stella awkwardly left the room. They wanted to be the first ones to enter the bathroom, yet Alex's mom stood before the doors.

She glanced at them, then retracted her eyes.

Alex and Stella sighed with relief.

Lavinia whispered, "Why are you two so nervous? Am I your wife or sister?"

Alex and Stella understood what she wanted to say.

But then Lavinia ran through them with her glare, "You used protection?"

Alex waved his hands, "There was no need. I just-"

"Don't tell me what you have done, perverted son of mine!" Lavinia banged the doors, escaping from the conversation.

Alex and Stella looked into each other's eyes.

He scratched his hair, "You were supposed to do the talking, Stella."

"Ok," Stella replied.

"Will you?" Alex rolled his eyes, for Stella's casual reply no longer sounded so influencing!

But that was the result of their relationship deepening as Alex knew that Stella surely would use the situation to her advantage.

Stella approached the bathroom door, "Mom. I want to get in."

"Come in," Lavinia replied.

And with this, these two would have some talk, probably.

Alex went downstairs, feeling a need to drink something. That was when he saw his father yet again with newspapers.

Harvey glanced at his son, smiling as he shook his head a few times, clearly amused by the situation.

Alex said, "Morning."

"Morning," Harvey replied in a much more lively voice. He then looked at his son before adding, "On my way to the shop for fresh buns, I met our neighbor. She stared at me with such funny yet incredulous eyes.

Do I look that old, Alex?" Harvey asked with a wide smile.

Alex tilted his head, "You don't."

"Haha! Because of the thin walls and little misunderstanding, our neighbor will complain to her husband today. I fear the moment this poor man wakes up," Harvey couldn't stop himself from laughing as he lifted his hand to cover his lips.

And after getting an understanding of the situation, Alex laughed as well.

A few minutes later, the father-son duo calmed down.

Harvey parted his lips, "Better find work quickly, son. Or you will run out of excuses to get a rest."

Alex titled his head, analyzing his father's words, for he spoke without being blunt again.

But as Alex indeed had four girls, they surely would take a lot of his free time. And as they still didn't have any responsibilities on Earth, they would surely want to spend more time with their beloved, which naturally should end with spicy activities.

Alex nodded.

"Your capsules should arrive today. Keep an eye on them, and don't miss the delivery truck," Harvey whispered.

"Thanks, father," Alex hovered his eyes on his father with a faint smile. Yet, in his expression, Harvey could see his son's gratitude.

Alex believed he had a lot to explain. But because of how odd everything was, Alex didn't have a proper explanation yet.

His father helped him significantly here.

Harvey acted as if he didn't know his son's burden, "I will always be here for you, son."

Alex grinned, "How about you enter the game, too? There's a person I want you and mother to meet."

Harvey's eyes widened for a moment, then he replied, "We can't."

"Uh, why?" Alex asked, not expecting such an answer. His father actually took time to reply, which was surprising. Alex rarely saw his father sitting uncomfortably on the chair without any explanation.

Alex couldn't think of a serious reason, either.

It would be fine if his father visited the Avander World with his wife during the weekend. They rarely worked on weekends, having plenty of time for themselves.

Harvey replied, "Responsibilities."

But as Alex had already thought this far, he couldn't buy this excuse. He started seeing what had eluded him and his wives.

The latest_epi_sodes are on_the . website.

The hungry demon concept.

That concept was within Alex. It was not exactly the same as he differed from the hungry demons. However, Sara and others had confirmed that this power sprouted from Alex during the battle against the legend.

And as Alex never had close contact with them, except for that one talk with Erik in Wolfen Demon's crumbling soul, Alex could only think of one explanation.

He was born with it.

"Father Are you from another world?" Alex asked a question that would make everyone look at him as if he were a weirdo.

Yet, as Harvey heard this question, he slowly folded his newspapers. Harvey lifted his hands without holding anything, "See?"

"Your hands are trembling" Alex whispered, feeling uncomfortable, for he had never seen his father in such a state.

Harvey uttered, "May that image stop you from asking this question." And then, his eyes turned red.

Those eyes glowed like red moons, yet no killing intent shimmered within. A much different emotion, opposite to the antagonist's concept, was hidden within Harvey's heart, power for the future.

And as Alex saw those eyes, he recalled all the system messages he had seen during his battle against Liam Wall. He also remembered the talk with Ivonne, his red ocean, and Asura's Skill.

And in the next second, Alex once again had forgotten them again.

"Too early," Harvey whispered after his son's body fell onto the ground. He lifted his red eyes, staring into Sara's blue hues, for she had witnessed the scene from the upstairs.

Harvey told her to come closer, "You can know about it.

You are an important girl, after all. The girl who has been saved by The Last Wish Reward." Harvey whispered.

Sara's heart jumped as she realized that her father-in-law was more than just an average human. And it was because of him that Alex had been able to save them.

She approached them, lifting Alex's unconscious body. In her hands, Alex found comfort and naturally a soft body to sleep on.

"Thank you for saving us, father," Sara whispered, tears blooming in her eyes once again.

Harvey stared at her with a faint smile, his eyes no longer red, "If there wasn't any genuine bond between you and my son, you would've died.

It's you two who have saved each other. Unfortunately, there won't be any other chance for you all. And if my son gets more girls, they won't be able to join this world so soon." Harvey smiled, feeling pretty happy with Alex's development.

Sara found Harvey's smile soothing and pleasant, "Has father predicted such an outcome in the past? It feels like The Last Wish Reward was reserved for Alex to save his beloveds."

Harvey closed his eyes, recalling his past, "I used to have a harem too. I don't know about Alex's journey, but mine was pretty smooth until one point.

The latest_epi_sodes are on_the . website.

Until I learned about the truth," Harvey whispered, his eyes momentarily glowing red, as if fear took over his heart, "The Last Wish Reward was prepared for something else for him

And while it limits Alex's future, I don't feel bad about him using it on you. I was the same, after all. I had a harem, and if I could wish for them to survive, I would use it all to keep them by my side.

Alas, I was just a powerful swordsman.

Everyone I loved died, except for one," Harvey's face scrunched with pain, for he couldn't suppress his emotions.

Sara's eyes shook just from reflecting his grieving self. She felt so sad for her father, even though she didn't know his story. Yet, just his expression soaked in painful feelings was enough for him to feel sorry for him.

She wanted to help, but she was still a foreign girl and someone who had been saved by Harvey's efforts to get The Last Reward Wish.

Sara remained silent, hoping that her presence was enough. Since she couldn't find words or help her father, she wanted to be by his side, just so that he could have some to talk about the past.

Harvey saw through her intent, finally getting back to himself, "It's the past."

"Does mother know about it?" Sara asked softly.

"The current her doesn't," Harvey replied mysteriously again.

And after these words, Sara's eyes gleamed with the resolution, "Father, whenever you feel a need to talk about your past, I will be here to listen. And in the future, we all will be here to listen alongside Alex, for I believe you will tell him all when the right time comes."

"My son has spent all his luck on you girls," Harvey whispered, smiling broadly at Sara, who had blushed like a young and inexperienced girl facing her in-law.

Harvey unfolded his newspapers, staring at them, "Do you know that your soul has been tempered?"

Sara's heart stopped for a second, "I do"

And her own father planted something within him, no less! In comparison, Harvey was so better than him that Sara had developed some jealousy. But as she was also his daughter from yesterday onward, Sara swore to support her new parents with Alex.

And if he ever dared to neglect his parents, she would rebuke him!

Harvey whispered, "What do you know about it? I have a rough guess, but I can't believe myself."

And as Sara heard those words, her heart shook with genuine fear.

Was there a chance that Elias Deathwill got his hands on something that made even Harvey Mao not believe in his thoughts?

Although Sara couldn't confirm her father-in-law's strength, she had an inkling that he was stronger than Elias Deathwill.

And that was real indeed. Yet, Elias got his hands on something that made Harvey Mao worried.
