Chapter 538 Butler and Maid

"...Alex, are you sure that you got the right person?" Alina asked Alex with a mortified tone, with her face contorted in displeasure. She did not look happy with the way that Old Man presented himself, especially when he began talking about Alex. "He seems... a bit more irresponsible than what I imagined him to be."

"Don’t ask me, Alina. Even I am questioning myself too." Alex replied, as he also wore the same displeased face as Alina. "How could have I imagined that this old man will be like this? Ugh, he’s even worse than Asteria!"

"What did you say hooman?"

"Ugh, and here I thought that I would be proud seeing the person who made me a Traveler. But all that I feel now is embarrassment. Sigh, can I just go look for a hole and hide there until this old man goes away?" Alex added as he ignored Asteria. "Maybe this is just a dream that will also pass away..."

"Hohoho, little Alex, I assure you that this is not a dream. Your Sponsor is right in front of you, ready to kick some ass! So don’t be sad, for I am here!" As if he can hear Alex’s words, the floating Old Man suddenly gave this declaration, prompting Alex to look back at him with wide eyes.

historical

"What, you thought that I can’t hear you talking about me? Little Alex, even if you were talking mentally with your lover, none of your conversations can escape my observation!" Old Man then flexed his bony arms, as if he seemed proud of himself saying these words. "I heard everything that you said about me, but don’t be worried. I forgive you for thinking badly of me."

"..."

"You are still a child after all Little Alex, one that is like an immature chick. For you to be wary of me is still acceptable... But I am sure once I teach you the ways of homelessness, you will grow to be a fine man like me!"

"Fine man your ass! Are you not even ashamed of acting like that?" While Alex looked like he had swallowed a fish bone because of Old Man’s comments, the nearby Great TimeMaster began to screech like a distressed weasel as she angrily flew towards the Old Man.

The Great TimeMaster looked much madder compared to earlier, something that Alina did not find weird at all. "You have no care for your group, no discipline with your vices, and now you also don’t have the modicum to act like the proper Sponsor for Alex? Hmph, if it were not for the fact that you’re here to save him, then I could have already beat you up!" The Great TimeMaster added as she stopped approaching Old Man. "Ugh, and you still stink like s***t! Did you not even take a bath before coming here?"

"Hehehe, why would I take a bath, when little Alex is in danger? His life is more important than my hygiene!" Old Man replied cheerfully, as if he was not offended by the insults on his smell. "But don’t worry. I might take a bath after this.... I still want to hug little Alex after all."

"Ugh, you better do that. For now, let’s deal with Crimson God." As if Old Man’s reply was some kind of a trigger, the Great TimeMaster quickly changed her allegiance, with her boat now facing the Crimson God menacingly. "Do you want to attack him first, or-"

"Great TimeMaster, are you seriously allying yourself with that old scum? What about the agreement that we had earlier?" Seeing that Old Man and the Great TimeMaster has now ganged up on him, the previously lively Crimson God became more and more enraged from the ’betrayal’ that just happened. "Are you okay on getting near his perverted eyes just to fight me? Come on Great TimeMaster, you are better than that!"

"Crimson God, I told you earlier that I sent my clone here to save Alex. Since Old Man is here to save Alex too, then teaming up with him is inevitable." This was Great TimeMaster’s reply, one that seemed to have made Crimson God visibly deflate. "Considering Alex’s help for me before, I am willing to tolerate getting close to this stinky old man. Even if he’s a dirty pervert, he’s still Alex’s Sponsor so I cannot just ignore him..."

"You..."

"So Crimson God, prepare to face the two of us right now. That is, if you are still willing to have a battle with us..."

"..."

"If you still want to fight right now, then we will fight you, Crimson God. But you must know the consequences if you do so." The Great TimeMaster concluded, lacing her words with as much stress that she can give them. "So just leave, and let us talk things out with Alex."

"You-"

"Hahaha, you heard the MILF, Crimson God. Just scram and go back to your little red mansion! I am sure your concubines will love that!" Old Man lasciviously shouted out, barring anything that the Crimson God has wanted to say. "Why are you looking at me like that now, Crimson God? Don’t tell me you swing that way too? I’m sorry, but you are too young for me! Go and wait for a few years then change your gender before you seduce me again! Hehehe, maybe at that time, I will be really desperate to make you mine..."

"Argh!" These words by Old Man seemed to have brought the Crimson God to the edge of his sanity, which was actually close to crumbling already. Just by looking at his incredibly purple face and bulging veins was enough to show how angry he is right now.

But instead of rushing in like an enraged bull, the Crimson God only stayed in his place, as if he was stopping himself from making any attacks at all.

"...."

A few seconds passed by like this before a change on the Crimson God suddenly happened.

"Shua..."

The Crimson God’s body began to dissipate, with his presence and aura also disappearing with his body. Fine red mist blossomed in the air as his body began to shrink, making his power and killing intent fade like they were nothing at all.

As for the blood rain that Crimson God conjured, they vanished right on the spot, which abruptly removed their evil presence on the Starting Village.

Seeing this scene made Alina and Great TimeMaster heave a sigh of relief, as they realized that Crimson God took the initiative to already leave.

It seemed as if the Crimson God knew that fighting the Great TimeMaster and Old Man at the same time is impossible for him, especially since his body is just a clone now.

"This is not the end, Old Man! I will see you at the End War, and there, you will be the first one that I will kill!" Crimson God said managed to say these words before his head succumbed to the dissipation. "You’re lucky that most of the Returners are busy meditating today! If they weren’t, then I would not be the only one facing you here! Remember that!"

"Hosh~"

Once all of his head was gone, there was nothing else from the Crimson God that was left in his place. Only few parts of his blood rain remained, but even those were swept away by the Great TimeMaster, who used her power to purify them all.

"Bye bye, Crimson God. I hope to see your angry face at the End War too. Wait, do I even need to join that? Maybe I can opt out of it..." Old Man muttered audibly as the Great TimeMaster continued her clean-up job. "Yes, yes, I think I can opt out of the End War. Hehehe, I think I just have to..."

"Old Man! You already chased Crimson God away, so you should know what to do next! Don’t tell me that you have forgotten about him again?" The Great TimeMaster, who was able to clean up everything in a matter of seconds, barked to Old Man angrily as she gave him a sharp glare. "Your little Traveler is waiting for you to come down! Shouldn’t you try meeting up with him now?"

"My little Traveler? Who are you- oh right, it’s Little Alex! Hehehe, it’s good that you reminded me about him...." Old Man then craned his neck as he looked down at the ground, with his eyes sweeping around the area.

Old Man only stopped looking around once his eyes found Alex, who was standing tensely beside Alina.

Once the eyes of these two people met, Old Man’s face split up into a huge grin, which showcased his yellowed and crooked teeth.

Such sight made Alex wince in disgust, which seemed to even amuse Old Man more.

"Oh, there’s little Alex. Hehehe, you really have grown up a lot now. You only took 5 missions since we met, and you’re already this strong? Good, good, good! You can be a good butler in my shack!" Old Man declared flamboyantly as he began to descend on the ground, with his landing spot only a meter away from Alex. "As for the pretty girl beside you, she can be my new maid! How about that, little Alex? That’s free employment for you!"

"..."
