The Messenger of Death

It didn't take long for the rest of the Avanti family to arrive at the front porch.

Lawrence and his wives, Benjamin, Arabella, Sara, and Oliver. All of them were present, and written on their faces was an expression of relief. They were all dressed in normal and casual clothes.

Sara blinked the tears in her eyes away as she ran and hugged her little brother. "You rebel." She uttered.

"I've never rebelled, Sara. That's your thing." Camron said immediately before hugging his sister back.

"You just to make all of us worry, thank goodness that you okay and back here."

"I'm sorry." He apologized.

"You don't have to be, it wasn't your fault," Sara added before releasing her brother. Even if Sara was his half-sister, she still had that sibling love for him.

Sara turned her attention to Alex, who standing beside Lady Ivy. Without a second thought, she approached him and placed a quick kiss on his cheek before hugging him.

"Thank you, for saving him." She muttered.

Arabella and Katherine saw this and they instantly became jealous of Sara.

Arabella had admitted and confessed her feelings to Alex, and yet she still hasn't had the opportunity to get that much intimacy from him.

But now wasn't the time to be jealous, her brother, Camron, whom they had been worried sick for just came back. This news alone was what she told herself to focus on.

Unfortunately, it was easier said than done. Sarah was still hugging Alex and making it hard for Arabella to ignore.

As for Alex, he was stunned by her actions. For Lady Ivy to hug him was understandable, but from Sarah, it felt a bit awkward. And if he was to be truthful to himself, he kind of liked it.

Sara's breast pressed against his lower chest. Her cloth wasn't helping matters as it wasn't thick or fitted, making him feel the softness of the peaks on her chest. Her scent pervaded his nostrils and turned his hormones on.

He could some stir from his nether region… Alex's ears were still red, but it was hard to tell if it was there because of the hug that he received from Lady Ivy or because Sara was pressed against him.

['Damn it, don't get turned on. If this gets bad, I will trigger the switch and exchange positions with he-who-shall-not-be-named.'] Alex tried his best to restrict the stir in his nether region.

['Hehe, typical of a virgin. Getting turned on from just a hug. With how tight she's holding on, she could probably feel your dick jumping around down there.'] Al mocked.

['Shut your fucking mind and go back to being mute!! Cock sucker!'] Alex yelled in his head.

Following that, Al kept quiet.

Alex coughed a bit and kept his hands by his sides, not returning her hug. "It was a team effort," Alex mentioned.

His statement made Adrian, Drake, and Gustavo happy. He wasn't only sharing the credit with them, he was also implying that they deserved a hug from her too.

'I owe you a big one Alexander.' Drake tapped his chest three times before sending a thumbs up at Alex.

'A true teammate.' Gustavo thought.

'It's only fair.' Adrian said in his head.

Katherine and Emma could feel the lewdness of the males in their team, and they looked at them in disgust.

Sara's looks could be defined as gorgeous and she is one of the prettiest girls in severance academy, so of course, they wanted to have physical contact with her.

"Doesn't matter, thank you…" She released Alex faced the rest of his teammates. Sara then proceeded by bowing to them respectfully.

"Thank you." She said.

Adrian, Drake, and Gustavo were immediately hit with disappointment.

'Lucky bastard, you betrayed us. You're never going to stop taking all the ladies away from us...' Drake thought and glared at the back of Alex's head.

'He's too lucky. I need to ask him for some pointers, I mean, I'm also good-looking right? Or is this a perk of being a prince?' Adrian wondered.

All Gustavo did was sigh...

"No need for that thank you, we couldn't let anyone mess around with one of us," Katherine responded proudly.

After the rest of the family why to hug Camron, they all thanked Alex. And unfortunately for Arabella, he wasn't down to receive a hug from her.

This broke her heart, but she makes to hide her feelings within.

'Is it possible that Alex likes Sara? Is that why he never looked at Arabella?' Camron thought and sighed. 'Although I don't mind that he like Sara, I do feel bad for Bella, she must be heartbroken.'

"Alexander." Lawrence, Camron's father stood in front of Alex and placed his hands on his shoulders.

"Mr. Lawrence?" Alex replied.

"Tell me, how I can repay you?" Lawrence asked.

"Dad-" Camron started, but before he could get anywhere, his father raised a finger, making him keep quiet.

['Camron's dad is not the type that likes to be in debt. How should I deal with this?'] Alex thought.

['For someone of his nature, telling him not to worry about it would be equivalent to an insult. So I suggest you find something tangible to go to request from him.'] Xander answered.

"Hmmm." Alex placed his hand under his chin and started thinking of what he could ask of Lawrence.

"Alex, there's no need to think of anything," Camron interjected. "My dad is just being stubborn." He added.

Alex ignored Camron and continued to think of what he could ask of Lawrence.

"How about this, we plan on taking revenge on the people that caused this, I would like you to assist us," Alex said.

"That is given, I also plan on taking a bite out of the people that caused this so that cannot be considered as repaying you and your teammates," Lawrence mentioned.

"Then I don't have anything in mind for now."

Lawrence sighed, while Lady Ivy placed a hand on her husband's forearm. "Let's leave all of this till later. It is almost time for lunch… Camron, honey, you must be hungry. You look like you've lost a lot of weight." Lady Ivy stated.

"You look like you've lost some weight too," Camron mentioned.

"Let's all head inside and get ready for lunch." Lady Ivy suggested.

Before Lawrence could take a third step, Alex arrived beside him and said something in a low voice. "How confident are you that the Kawataro family do not have spies in your ranks?" He asked.

"There are quite a few that I am aware of, why?"

"The Kawataro family must not know that Camron is alive and back in the capital city. At the moment, he is a big threat to them. My advice is that you eliminate the spies, quickly. They might already be on their way to inform their superiors."

Lawrence frowned when he heard this. He knew that things might get harder for him if his enemies find out that Camron was still alive, and back home.

"Reginald," Lawrence called out and Reginald appeared.

When he did, Alex noticed that Reginald's cultivation was still higher than his, and this stunned him a bit.

['I didn't think that he was this strong.'] Alex thought.

"Yes, my Lord," Reginald answered.

"Quickly do away with the spies that infiltrated the manor, and also, tighten the security. Make sure that no one outside this manor finds out that Camron is back home, do you understand?"

"Consider it done, my Lord." Reginald bowed. He raised his head and bobbed his head at Alex as a greeting before vanishing from their sights.

"Still a man of few words," Alex uttered as he proceeded towards the entrance of the building…

Seated in the familiar room of the Avanti Manor's dining room, The Seraphim and Avanti family members began chatting merrily as they ate.

"Alex," Drake called out.

"What?" Alex rolled his eyes as he answered Drake.

"Can you use your bloodline suppression on me? I want to know what it feels like." Drake requested.

Immediately after he asked, everyone at the table shouted at the same time. "Noo!!!"

Katherine, who was seated beside Drake, slapped the back of his head. "Are you trying to make everyone here lose their appetite!?" She uttered angrily.

"Ouch!" Drake rubbed the back of his head.

"Wait, if you guys know of his bloodline, that means you know that he is royalty, right?" Sara asked.

"Yeah, pretty much," Gustavo answered.

"Your highness, I thought you wanted to keep your identity a secret?" Sara flirtatious gaze at Alex. She licked and bit her lower lips a bit.

"I do want to keep my identity a secret, but they are my teammates, it was inevitable." Alex shrugged his shoulders and ignored Sara's flirtatious look.

"Oh, some things are inevitable, I agree with that." A mischievous smile crawled up her lips as turned her focus back to her food.

Arabella watched her sister try to flirt with Alex, and it pissed her off. She was kind of pleased when she saw that Alex didn't entertain her flirts, but it didn't do much in calming her anger.

She stayed silent and eat her lunch without saying much.

"Alex, I'm going to be the one to burst the bubble. Since when did you reach the nirvana cultivation realm!?" Oliver asked.

"Not up to 2 weeks ago," Alex answered.

"The first time you came to our house, your cultivation was even worse than Camron's. But after a while, you surpassed all of us. You really are a different breed." Benjamin sighed and shook his head.

He was happy Alex wasn't his enemy, after all, he looked down on him the first time that they met…
