Chapter 31: Encountering a mutated rank magic beast
"We mean no harm, we’re members of the Balon City Union branch and are just on patrol. I’m Silvia and this is my partner, sub-elder Marco." Silvia stepped forward and said respectfully.
She couldn’t tell the rank of the other party and could only make guesses; whatever his rank might be, it was best not to provoke him.
"Is that so?" Alex asked, his eyes narrowing behind his mask, he felt that these two people had looked for him on purpose.
Moreover, he couldn’t see through their ranks. They were stronger than expert-rank mages!
"Yes, please pardon my improper action just now, I was just curious and sincerely apologize." Silvia continued, feeling that the other party didn’t believe her.
"Hmm, then leave if there’s nothing else. I’m busy." Alex said before turning back. He was trying to get these two to leave as soon as possible if there was really nothing serious, he couldn’t keep this beast corpse in his space pocket in front of them.
Since they were from the Union, they must already know about him and his element. Using a different element in front of them might cause problems unless Alex was willing to silence them forever to protect his secret.
"We’ll leave soon but sorry to ask, are you perhaps Mr Chen?" Silvia asked in response to Alex asking them to leave. Although they had already guessed it since this person’s appearance matched Owen’s description, she still wanted to confirm.
Alex paused again as he thought.
’As expected, they already know about me so it would be impossible to use the space element in front of them.’
Alex was already contemplating if he should get a storage device just in case, after all. He won’t always be alone and can’t use his space element in front of others, he would need something to store his gains when exploring.
