Gorgeous Jewel
Chapter III Chapter 70

"Oi... Isn't that him?!" One of the hunters reprimanded her friend when she saw Alice walking towards the reception desk.

"Yes...He's a newcomer who's nicknamed the ice queen." Reply friend.

The hunters could not turn their eyes to see the figure of Alice who walked slowly and crossed each table to the front of the receptionist. Although they were professional and had long worked as hunters, when Alice set foot before their eyes, their tongues were stiff and their mouths locked.

Two months earlier, at the beginning of Alice's arrival, who wanted to register as a hunter, created a terrifying memory that still haunts them in the head.

A drunk hunter seduces Alice. Although Alice had served him well but the drunk continued to insist on flirting and asked him to accompany her. Drunk when the day was still so bright.

Alice began to ride black as the drunk pulled her hood by force. His gaze as he looked at Alice's beauty was like a starving wild beast that found delicious food. The drunkard wiped his slightly flowing saliva from the corner of his mouth. His eyes that had been so dear now were wide open to the sweet girl in front of him.

Alice grew increasingly uneasy and told the man to stop and stay away from her. The air suddenly became cold as well as his voice. The receptionist, who saw Alice's sharp eyes shining from the darkness of the hood, began to drain cold sweat from her temple.

The drunk didn't touch him more precisely he didn't notice the change. His irritating behavior becomes more and more so, he does not stop there. His eyes then turned to the cute and adorable figure standing beside Alice. Echidna looked at him with annoyance but the drunken man was seen enjoying it.

"Well, whoa... Sweet little girl." He said then he chuckled with a disgusting grin. "You two, it's a pity that your beautiful faces are wasted here. Come here, we have fun together." Then he stretched out one of his hands and wanted to grab Echidna's head.

Before the tip of his finger could touch a hair belonging to the little girl. The drunk went backwards. With a larger and stockier body than Alice, people glanced at them with wide-eyed and incredulous eyes. Some people's mouths were wide open in surprise. How could he be thrown to the front door?

Still not subsided, Alice's anger still had not subsided with just one strike. After floating a kick with a cold Qi that made the entire body of the man stiff instantly. Alice released her Qi and anger throughout the room.

'Never try to touch her' Her eyes and expression seemed to hint so.

The sight and power Alice unleashed was like a warning to anyone who saw it. As time went on and with his training, his cultivation that had been at the Earth Refining stage had now reached its peak. Let alone a level 5 mage, with her current strength, Alice had been able to face a level 7 mage.

The gripping aura that was filled with powerful killing intent made those whose strength was weaker than him unable to dwell. Alice stood up and deliberately maintained her position. However, Alice was not so cruel as to immediately torture everyone inside the building with her aura. Alice could still hold herself back and exclude the two receptionists who were behind her.

After a while has passed. A woman of young stature came from upstairs down the stairs and said. "It's enough to get there young lady."

The atmosphere instantly changed with his presence. Alice saw the smiles and hopes behind the bright gazes of the hunters.

Those who could still stand up and raise their heads, started to fuss and discuss.

"That's the union leader."

"The two come to our aid."

"Thank God the chairman arrived, too."

"Chairman huh?" Benak Alice's.

Alice turned her head and looked at him with a indifferent attitude. The woman did not look much different from him. From her appearance, she might be 3 or 5 five years older than him, but Alice could not take that woman lightly. He knew that the woman was very strong which could not be seen from her appearance alone. The gray hair with bright red eyes and small fangs visible on his teeth as he spoke clearly showed that he was a demon race from the Vampire tribe.

Alice read it. The caste-bearing beings with great power, not only physical and magic but they were also experts at regenerating when they were injured. Like ghouls or spirits, vampires' weakness is also that they are so bright rays or sunlight and they are deemons that are more active at night.

"Young lady, please stop. Even though that man has been guilty but I don't justify any violence against my fellow hunters in my union." He walked closer to Alice.

Alice complied, she withdrew her strength and made the hunters feel relieved again.

"I'm sorry as chairman. I'll discipline people like them." The woman gracefully lifted her skirt slowly to apologize. His attitude reflects like an ethical noble.

It was nostalgic, for a long time he had not seen such an attitude. Alice responded politely "No, it's not your fault. Please forgive me for being so sassy."

The two stared at each other for a moment and let go of a small laugh. They laugh at each other's attitudes. It felt a little strange to behave like that in this place. The people who saw him became astonished because the two could get along so quickly. Are they acquaintances?

"My name is Ophelia D'Meridiem. Nice to meet you."

"My name is Alicia Lein Strongfort, I'm also happy to meet you."

Ophelia stepped closer and whispered into Alice's ear. "What is a human noble doing in this place?"

Alice's eyes widened in surprise, her eyebrows raised on the fact that the woman knew of her disguise.

Ophelia glanced at the hunters. He smiled gently at them and waved his hand then turned to Alice. "Well, you can explain it above." Then he walked up the stairs and was followed by Alice and her daughter.

Upon arrival at Ophelia's office, a man greeted them.

"Darius, prepare a drink for our guests." That's how Ophelia called the man. Darius bowed while folding one of his hands on his chest. "Okay, Madam."

As they waited for Darius. Ophelia, Alice and Echidna were already sitting opposite each other.

"Yes...Young lady, please don't stare at me like that. I'm not a bad person." Ophelia smiled awkwardly looking at Echidna who kept trailing herself with a sharp gaze ever since she climbed the stairs. "If I can I don't want to deal with him." He thought as he sensed something threatening from the figure of the little girl.

Ophelia cleared her throat, she turned to Alice. "Is he your sister?"

"She's my daughter." Brief reply Alice

"Huh? A man.and his daughter..." Ophelia repeatedly saw both of them. Nothing unusual, they look similar. Ophelia was only astonished because of their racial differences. He sighed while holding his temple.

"Many things happened." Said Alice. He smiled faintly in his heart. Alice purposely did not explain it and let Ophelia think to herself. After all, in reality there were indeed many things that had happened to him before he was with Echidna. Sometimes the occasional fad can lessen the burden of his mind a little.

"alright. Back to the point. I wonder how you got to this place?" Ask Ophelia.

Alice began to explain the situation to Ophelia. From Alice's explanation, Ophelia drew the same conclusion as what Davella had told her. The Deemons who attacked them were an active group. According to Ophelia. Their organization is a fugitive from the current Demon King, in other words they are rebels who do not obey the rules made by the Demon King who now occupies the throne.

Alice became interested in meeting the figure of the Demon King. If he really wants peace. So he wanted to know how the figure of the Demon King who is always told by humans as the scourge of evil.
