Claudia got no further response from Alex, so she immediately pursued the matter. “Where did they go first?”
After that question, she noticed that Alex had his eyes fixed on her. When she looked closely at where his gaze was focusing, she went into disorder. To her surprise, that guy was peeking up her skirt…
He got a really good view from that angle!
Smack!
Claudia kicked him in rage. She was already extremely uncomfortable after she had to swallow the bitter pill in silence. Now, her private parts had been exposed. That guy was simply despicable.
Alex blocked her kick with his hands to avoid his face getting injured.
“What are you doing?”
“You still have the nerve to ask? What were you looking at?”
Alex defended, “I was undercover, trying to obtain information about the enemies. You came over with your skirt facing my eyes, so how can you blame me? I want to complain about you too. You’re old, yet you deliberately exposed yourself in front of a young man like me. Attempting to seduce a young hunk, are you?”
Hearing that, Claudia almost went berserk. Being the inheritor of Serenity, she wasn’t allowed to harbor any feelings and had to be cold to men because of the cultivation technique she practiced. Although Gilbert was an exception, Alex belonged in the same category as the others.
She was innately indifferent to him, yet he had consecutively taken advantage of her. Presently, he had to be feigning ignorance.
Alex then disappeared from the underground. When he reappeared, he was already standing on the distant ground 110 yards away from Claudia, beckoning to her. “Hurry up and go. They went to the temple first. Besides, I can tell from their tone that our people might have gone to the temple as well. Let’s follow quickly, lest your man gets beaten to death.”
Claudia became docile as soon as Alex mentioned her man.
After it captured information, the paper doll connected itself to his mental strength. The group had arrived in front of a temple and was about to rush in. However, Alex could feel Genbu’s carapace vibrating abnormally on his body, as though revealing excitement and yearning.
‘Could something in the temple have stimulated tortoiseshell?’
‘Is there a treasure inside?’
Alex glanced at Claudia. “Time is running out! Let me help you!” he said, then rushed over and picked Claudia up.
He teleported continuously with quick jumps. Then, be activated the Earth Escape Technique.
They were extremely close to that group of people. Within the short time it took for the group to open the door to the temple, they rushed past and entered the building.
