Chapter 370: Celia can’t stop crying
“Report,” Yasir changed the topic to the formal one, for Yumi didn’t even show any interest in his sudden odd behavior. He thought she would at least show some attention or ask him about his intent.
Yet, she just bluntly refused him! This made Yasir think; that if he were Alexander Deathwill Mao, would Yumi pay attention to him and at least get curious about his invitation?
He didn’t say or show those thoughts on his face, waiting for his people to speak.
“Yes!” Yasir’s close ally that had participated in the first significant invasion of Earth stepped forward, opening his system, “We have significantly lowered forces of players in the continent with the Lost Kingdom.
Erik and Roy can take a break, for we have killed their legendary class and a few epic classes. This should stop them from making significant moves as well.
We have located five high-level existences doing their Earthling Quests. We left the soul grave-keeper intact as per your wish, Yasir-“
“Why?” A man with a brawny posture and rough voice asked, his red eyes piercing through Yasir’s ally.
Yasir laughed, explaining his motive, “In a continent that I work to build our strength, the Undead Kingdom is the main enemy. I don’t want them to cease to exist or go rampant.
They are currently led by two people, Eva Mora and the legendary class user whose strength heavily relies on the soul grave-keeper.
I have a plan here, so understand me,” Yasir explained a few details.
The man nodded, no longer pursuing the matter.
And the report continued, “We have killed three high-level existences.
The Dullahan King, Thanas.
The Light Church’s Bishop, Gavriel.
The Empire’s Last Survivor, Red.
The last one has managed to escape,” the report ended.
Those were news that shocked a few high-status antagonists, including Yumi. She widened her eyes at those victims, for their deaths should have already stirred the higher realms.
And as Yasir worked on a continent tightly connected to The Light Church, Yumi had an inkling that Gavriel’s death would significantly raise his position here.
Perhaps, he could even use Thanas’ death for his advantage, for The Light Church fought against The Darkmana Empire.
Her thoughts were right.
Yasir’s heart pounded loudly, his eyes shimmering in excitement as he received a ticket to the higher realm and even a body that would give him important status here!
‘You are leaning toward darkness, Alexander… I seem to tread toward the light, which is poetic and weird at the same time… I can’t wait to see my evolution,’ Yasir whispered inwardly, looking forward to his progress.

“Why are you crying, Celia? Can’t you tell mommy?” Sara held her daughter in her arms, shaking her gently as Celia kept crying.
Her daughter couldn’t stop her tears, endlessly flooding her eyes with them. She also didn’t know the reason for her pain, yet it hurt her badly.
Celia felt like she had lost someone precious.
And that was the case.
She lost her grandpa, whom she didn’t have a chance to meet. No one thought Thanas would die so soon, let alone in a peaceful world.
As more pressing matters were at hand, Sara didn’t have time to introduce her daughter to the dullahan king. She also spared him a few times at most, showing how busy everyone was.
“It hurts, mommy…” Celia hugged her mother tightly, whispering those words with immense pain going through her.
It would take some time for her to learn the cause of it.
And an hour later, Alex called his beloveds to his parent’s house.
The ladies didn’t have driver’s licenses yet, so they naturally took taxis to arrive at their in-law’s house. It was also quite late, so everyone was curious and worried that something must have happened.
Celia also kept sobbing in Sara’s arms.
At last, Alex’s beloveds entered Harvey’s house, their eyes expanding widely, for everyone here was lying on the bed with pale skins, sweat, and heavy breathing as if some sickness had taken over them.
“Celia…” Alex instantly noticed Celia’s tears, connecting the dots. He didn’t know whether he was right, but with Yasir’s assault and deeds, Alex believed that his thoughts were correct.
Celia sensed Thanas’ death through her authority, her heart aching for the old man was a good man.
He got up despite his exhaustion and bones cracking, “Your grandpa… has died…”
Sara trembled from shock, gazing at her beloved with incredulous eyes. She couldn’t find words to even ask Alex a question, for her shock was too big.
Celia bit her lips, crying even more, “Grandpa?”
“The Dullahan King… He… The antagonists killed him… They also killed… my friend and many people,” Alex spoke while holding his own tears, not wanting to add more pain to his daughter’s grieving.
Before falling onto the bed, he explained as much as he could, blood tricking down his lips.
“Don’t speak,” Olivia said in an ordering tone, not wanting her beloved to talk in such a state. She didn’t know what happened, but her sweetheart surely paid a heavy price for something.
He wouldn’t be vomiting blood and looking like a sick person otherwise.
Harvey and Lavinia were the same, so everyone’s eyes asked a question, ‘What exactly had happened here?’
While holding his wife in his embrace, Harvey said, “The antagonist leader has assaulted Earth. He visited us with a wicked plan to keep us busy while his people massacred influential figures.
They killed Alex’s friend… and more…” Harvey felt guilty about all of this. If he were more careful and stronger, he would’ve stopped Yasir’s people from performing such mass murder.
He failed as the guardian.
‘I have been living a good life for too long… As my son has started fighting for life and his family, I must shed all my rust and prepare for a future where Alex needs my sword the most,’ Harvey inwardly spoke, looking at Lavinia.
He wouldn’t allow her to seal her memories, too.
It was time for guardians to utterly give up on their modern lives.
It was time to grasp weapons and start sharpening up!
