Chapter 53: Alex’s Breaking Point and the Secrets of Elemental Power
As everyone started leaving, Alex saw a beautiful girl sitting alongside Riven. She stood up and left after stomping her feet.
Everyone was looking at the girl, but Alex’s eyes were on Riven. The smile on Riven’s face was different. It felt playful—but not calculating.
Alex thought, So, he can make that kind of smile... it really is different from the one he used to give me back at the camp, calling me his friend.
Black Alex said in his mind: We are quite naïve, you know.
White Alex nodded, sadness in his eyes.
"Yes, you’re right," Alex replied, nodding his head to his inner self without noticing.
Hati’s head rose from the desk and looked at Alex in confusion, but he didn’t bark.
Alex stood up and left the class, with Hati following behind.
He reached the hall and headed for the stairs to go down. When he reached the stairs, from the shadow at the base, a figure stepped forward—tall, graceful, and wrapped in a dark green dress that hugged her body tightly. It enhanced her long, graceful legs, ending in the alluring curve of her hips and a narrow waist, tapering to a small chest, giving her a graceful allure. Her lustrous black hair reached her waist, a single emerald pin securing it behind her ear. Bangs framed her face, drawing attention to her sharp jawline and vibrant emerald eyes.
In Alex’s memory, a figure flashed—his mother’s figure—similar to hers, but different. Alex clenched his teeth.
As he tried to sidestep and leave, a venomous whisper came.
