Going deep inside the ancient temple, there were a lot of different structures depicting a haunting amalgamation of dark along with weathered stones and ominous carvings everywhere of sinister figures.

Clink! Melissa put down her fork as soon as she was finished and looked at Alex like a hungry predator. Her eyes flashed with a serious glint and suddenly, Alex felt a chill. Alex immediately put down his spoon and covered his upper body by crossing his arms. Melissa's eyes glowed with a red glint. Licking her lips, she said, "time for my desert." Before Alex could even react, Melissa vanished from her spot and… "Aaaaah… nom!" Melissa appeared below the table and gobbled up the entirety of…

"What?" Alex was surprised with this. "Hehehe, I know you want more info on this, but I'm gonna refrain myself from speaking more," Melissa said and buried her face in Alex's embrace. Alex sighed. "You sure like to tease me a lot, don't you?" "Hehe," Melissa giggled cutely. "Anyway, are you done going through things?" Alex shook his head. "Give me a minute." "Okay."

Melissa lay on Alex's chest and didn't bother to tell him more. Her role was to show him a path, not to help him walk on it. It was totally up to Alex to decide if he wanted to walk on a path his wife showed or choose a different one. Having done her work to guide him, she was now enjoying his warmth and letting him do his thing. Meanwhile Alex had purchased the things related to Blesseds and started reading them.

There was no threat anymore and Alex reached home safely. Before he could even ring the doorbell, Melissa opened the door and jumped on Alex. "Darling!" She attached herself to him like a koala and said while hugging him tight. "What happened to you suddenly? Why did you stop answering? I was so worried, you know?" Alex was slightly surprised with his wife's reaction. She knew he was home and opened the door without even waiting for him to ring the doorbell. Such a thing wasn't a coincidence for…

"YOU FUCKERRRRRR!" Furious as he was, the student could not see his left or right and dashed at Alex like an angry bull. Alex looked at him and calmly dodged his incoming punch. He was not a Blessed, but even with his fitness without gene cultivation, he could beat this guy up, black and blue, if he so wanted to. The student was clearly stupefied with Alex dodging his attack so suddenly. Medical students were usually weak and with low fitness. He thought of Alex the same. Alex's build didn't appear…

"…have some conditions." The student knitted his brows. "What is it?" Alex raised his hand and showed one finger. "One, my safety will be guaranteed. Who is to say you aren't planning to kill me while on our way there?" "WHY WILL I—" "Two." Alex peered into the student's eyes and said domineeringly, not letting him interrupt again. "If, I'll repeat, if I were to be considered someone not Blessed, I want you to pay for all the damages that occurred." "Pfft, sure." The student laughed it…

Alex, looking at the Dean sweat so much, said, "Dean, you shouldn't move so vigorously in such an age." "Shut up." The Dean said as he walked towards his chair while wiping the sweat. "Young man, do you know how much stress you've brought unto me?" Alex shook his head. Obviously, he didn't know. The Dean shook his head. "Forget it. I don't wanna get into that. First, tell me," Slam! Slam! "How in the world did you do such a surgery!? How!? I don't care about you breaking protocols and threatening…

Three days passed after the surgery Alex did. Ringggg…. Ringggg… Tick! "Hel—" "Alexander, I need you in my office, this very instant!" A loud voice bombared Alex's ears. "Who is this?" Alex, however, remained calm and asked the relevant question. "…" "I am the dean. Come to my office." The voice turned soft, calm, and call was cut after the dean said so. Taking the phone away from his ears, Alex thought, 'I couldn't recognize his voice with how loud it was. Didn't know that old man can…
