Alex slowly went to his mother. "Mom, I did it. Now will you cook me my favourite foods?" he asked with a smile.
Elizabeth hugged him tightly. "Of course my baby. I will cook all your favourite foods." Tears were rolling down her cheeks.
He gently wiped her tears off. "I will not let you cry any more mom."
No one disturbed them or dared to disturb them. All the emperors were looking at him with hungry eyes. They wanted him to join their faction. If he did not die, it was certain that he would surpass everyone on the planet.
"Every reporter should leave," Arthur said calmly. It was like a divine order. No one would dare to refute his order unless they wanted to die.
One by one everyone left the vicinity. They were unwilling, but what could they do? After the thousands of reporters left, all the emperors came down from the sky as well as Arthur.
Alex looked at them calmly. He also knew their intentions.
"Looks like you have figured out our intentions. Now tell me, which faction do you want to join?" Arthur asked with a mild smile.
"Vice president, he is the heir of my family. How can he join other factions? He has our bloodline in his veins," the ancestor of the Moriarty family, Alexander Moriarty, said with a little annoyance.
"Oh? Then let him decide. Because as far as I know, you chased them away a year ago from your family. You humiliated them. So you cannot say this anymore. You have lost that right," Arthur replied calmly.
"Alex, I know the family treated you and your mother poorly. But they did that because your father died, and they were upset with you. But you are the son of your father.
What would he think if he heard you joined another family because of a little quarrel? Please return to the family. You will become the sole heir of the family and all the resources will be available to you without any constraints. Your mother will become the patriarch of the family."
Alexander was desperate. The supreme authority of an emperor was nowhere to be seen. Alex's existence was enough to wipe off his arrogance.
Alex observed him closely. He did not like this family. If there were anyone good in the family, they would have secretly tried to reach out to him and his mom to see their conditions, but no one did.
If he found even one such existence in the family who was really sympathetic to them when they needed them the most, he would have considered returning to the family.
"I am sorry. I want to join the Alliance Headquarter. No individual family should have me, that would collapse the balance of power in a few years," Alex said calmly.
These words were very arrogant but no one thought that. Arthur smiled with satisfaction. Everyone knew this was true. But humans were selfish in nature and he could not stop other families from trying to recruit him.
"Vice president Arthur, I will join the alliance but I have some conditions.",Alex looked at Arthur.
" Go on", Arthur just nodded calmly.
"No one will ask about my powers. I need privacy, only you and the president will have the authority to command me. And I will need 20 square kilometers of land here in the capital with a villa of my own with high level security. I will live with my mom there. You should give me a certain amount of resources every month."
Alex asked all his needs. He knew the alliance would not dare to refuse him. And he set the requirements at a level where the vice president's ego would not be hurt by saying that only he and the president could command him.
Arthur thought in his mind. "This boy is simply brilliant."
"Accepted," he said with a smile.
Alex nodded with a smile. "I will be under the care of the alliance from now on."
He played his cards closely. He knew others would try to eliminate him if he did not join them, but now that he had joined the alliance and secured a place in the capital, no one would dare to harm him here.
"Alright, your land will be prepared in five days with the villa and security. And from now on, you will be the Grade 0 elite of the alliance."
Elizabeth put her hands on her face. The alliance also had many other geniuses under them. They trained them to become top level fighters. Among the fighters, there were ten grades according to their potential.
Grade 1 was the top grade and a Grade 1 individual from the alliance had similar treatment as a martial monarch across the Light Domain.
And now her son was graded as Grade 0, which was not even a position before. The vice president had created this position. Her son was going to become a dragon and no one could stop him anymore.
"Mom, I am very tired. Shall we return to the hotel? I want to sleep. And ask Rena and Lina to come here as well. They should live with us."
"Alright son. Let us leave."
Alex nodded to all the emperors. "Thank you for coming here personally. After shifting to my new home, I will throw a party and will invite all their majesties. I am also sorry for not able to join you."
Instantly the emperors felt that Alex was not bad. Their egos were satisfied by this.
"Do not worry. Go and rest well. I will surely come to your party with the flowers of my family," one emperor winked at him. The others also lightened up, except Alexander. He snorted coldly and left the area.
"He sure knows how to keep good relations with the important people," Arthur became more and more pleased with him.
In the hotel, Alex ate a hearty meal, took a warm shower and went to his bed. He wanted to sleep now. But before that he had to check something.
"Cultivate."
He clicked the cultivate option. He needed to know if he could cultivate without cosmic crystals now or not.
Boom. A whirlpool appeared. All the energies were sucked dry across the environment and after five minutes it stopped automatically.
The energies from a 1.5 kilometer radius area were sucked dry by him which was equivalent to his spirit master domain. He would have to wait until the energy refilled its empty space.
"What is going on? Why did the energy become so thin all of a sudden?"
Everyone in this area became confused. But Elizabeth was astonished. She felt the whirlpool from her son's room right now.
"What kind of cultivation talent did he get?" she could not help but swallow her saliva.
Alex opened his eyes.
[Cultivation Base: 20M/20M(+890M)]
"Damn. Nine hundred million in five minutes. So in this capital, in a 1.5 kilometer radius, nine hundred million energy units are present.
Normally others cultivate too. But they absorb a far lower amount of energies. So the energy will come to refill the empty space if they are sucked dry slowly. But I sucked them too fast and the energy did not get enough time to replenish."
"Let us break through. I will cultivate again after shifting to my home. I will ask the alliance if they have anything that could gather energy faster."
"Breakthrough."
Boom. Immense energy gushed into his body.
