Alex cleaned himself before entering the Lunar city.

Lunar City was 290 km away from Crestford city and was famous for its crime rate.

Lunar City was the base of the Skull gang which ruled the place and looted people.

For any tourist or adventurer, this place was a big no.

But for Alex, it was the city of fortune.

Alex headed straight towards the high-tier building which was in sharp contrast to the other shabby building as it was the base of the skull gang.

"Hello, Sir Rex!"

"Please take a look at the fresh bread I cooked today."

"Sir Rex, here is a gift for you."

"Please say hello to your wife for me"

"I will convey your words, Aunt Gita."

"Uncle Dawn, thanks for the bread."

"Thanks, Aunt May." Alex chuckled and returned the greeting meanwhile his empty hands had been filled with all sorts of things.

Alex shook his head seeing the warm and joyful laugh of the citizens.

All of them were terrorized by the Skull gang until Alex took the matter into his hands.

He only wanted to loot the gang and use its members to help during his stay but the one who benefited the most was none other than these common people.

These people quickly took a liking to the lovely couple Alex and Riya while trying their best to help them settle down.

There was no Mayor of this town and the people even wanted Alex to be Mayor here but Alex refused.

The noble in charge of this town would soon find out the news and seek trouble but to the mass agitation in Arkham, he seemed to be busy.

Alex didn't want to wait for him to come here and he would personally deal with him when he left.

Alex heard a loud shout and soon saw six bulky people running towards him with serious expressions.

They stood before Alex with a sharp glint which made it look as if a bloody fight was going to ensue.

But their expressions changed suddenly and all of them bowed their heads and looked at him with puppy eyes.

"What the hell are you watching? Taking the things from Sir? How can you let him carry all this?"



"Sir please don't burden your arms."

"Let this servant carry the things."

The men muttered and took away the things from Alex.

"Not bad!Not bad!"

"You are slowly learning to be a civilised person," Alex muttered and patted them.

"It's all your blessing Sir. You have shown us the light and led our pitiful and astray souls to the correct path."

Alex suppressed his urge to laugh and looked at Malcolm.

He was the same man who was mocking him four days ago only to be beaten like a dog by Alex.

Creak!

Alex entered the house and walked towards the basement where there was a small training centre.

He saw Riya meditating cross-legged. Her power was increasing at a rapid rate to the point she was unable to keep up with it.

She was fine at first but when Alex pulled her to hunt the creature of darkness, she started to absurd the dark mana rapidly.

She had hardly controlled the power of lust and now the other power was running a rampage.

So, she had been trying to calm herself and familiarise herself with her power.

Riya slowly opened her eyes and asked with a smile.

"What did you get today?"

Alex pulled out a corpse from his space ring and put it before Riya.

Riya raised her brows as he pointed at the corpse with trembling hands.

"A legendary rank asura bear."

Alex nodded and leaned against the wall folding his hands over his chest.

"The situation in Arkham is getting worse. The higher-ups seemed to be coming up with something."

"Riya, it seems we need to get Lockheart's main branch quickly," Alex said with a serious expression.

Alex had a token which granted him absolute status similar to Yvonne.

But the problem was that only a high-ranking member of the Lockheart merchant group could identify the token as it was highly confidential.





If he saw the token to those who were not aware, they may think of it as a fabrication.

The main branch of Lockheart branch groups was situated in the Capital of Arkham, The City of Arlington.

To gain entry to the periphery, Alex needs to show a reason.

So, while hunting for clues of miasma, Alex killed many high-rank beasts and stored the precious materials in the beast.

A corpse of Legendary rank could be sold for 1000-3000 depending on the beast.

Riya was analysing the corpse with a keen interest and suddenly she felt a shiver as she saw dark-coloured mana seeping inside.

"Alex, this..is this what you were speaking about?" Riya spoke while flinching back.

Alex walked towards Riya and pulled them into his arms while caressing her hair.

"Yes."

"Since this beast's pure mana had been tainted and converted to dark Mana, you were able to feel the mana flow."

"This is a good thing Riya." Alex tried to assure aura seeing her fearful expression.

"It is an indication that you are slowly getting a hang of your powers."

"I don't know if it's good. I fear I will lose myself and may harm you or others. I feel that my powers will take over me and control me."

"I thought it was the power of Lust that I have to keep in control but the power which I showcased that day seemed to be a hundred times more dangerous."

"Remember that fight creeps me out. The power of darkness disgusts me but at the same time, it makes me feel complete. It is quite complicated but whatever, maybe I don't want this kind of power which causes nothing but destruction." Riya spoke and her eyes became moist and teary.

"Riya, if you didn't have that power, we wouldn't be alive."Alex smiled and wiped out her tears.

"We should also look at the positive side of these things."

Alex could sense the uneasiness in Riya's heart that was going on every day.

It was also making him afraid as he didn't know much about it. The power of darkness along with the power of Lust may be mixed and change Riya into something which he was afraid to even think about.

He was only taught to calm the power of lust, not the other.

And even the Goddess is keeping silent about it no matter how many times he asks.

"Everything had a good and bad side. As long as I am with you, I will not let it devour you and make you remember who you are."Alex muttered while capturing her lips.

Riya's body trembled and she was surprised by Alex's sudden advance but Alex didn't let her go as she tastes so sweet that Alex didn't want to let her go.

"Just like today, I will make you remember with my body that you are the wife of Alex Von Leonhart."

"I will make my presence engraved in your heart. I am irreparable" Alex spoke with a smirk while pulling Riya into a princess carry position.

"Beast!" Riya muttered softly and showed a bit of resistance though inwardly her heart was fluttering being filled with sweetness and warmth.
