Chapter 121 The First Clue
'Looks like you finally went and did it, Adonis...'
Rey's thoughts flowed as he watched Adonis storm out of the room.
Even though he expressed shock just like everyone else, Rey was actually smiling within.
'Don't blame yourself too much. This was inevitable.'
There was no way all of the twenty-eight students would be equally useful to the cause.
Most of them were going to abandon the Alliance at one point or another. Visit no(v)eLb(i)n.com for the best novel reading experience
Rey thought he was probably being too pessimistic, but he knew enough about his classmates to tell that they weren't the selfless, altruistic type.
They were merely teenagers who wanted to have fun, enjoy life, and live carefreely.
The only reason they stuck around for this long was due to the perks of developing their powers and learning how to survive.
Once they could no longer gain anything from the Royal Estate, they were bound to leave.
'It's unfair, but that's just how it is...'
Only a few were going to remain, and while not all of them had the purest of intentions, Rey felt like their motivations were enough.
'Even if I leave the Royal Estate, it'll be so I can focus on getting stronger. I don't think I'll ever abandon the people here...'
After all, Rey already knew within himself that he didn't want to go back to Earth.
If this was the world he wanted to live in, then he had to help defeat the Dragon Emperor and keep everyone safe.
To do that, though, he needed power.
'Then, there are a few others that I think won't leave...'
Trisha was definitely in the list, considering her personality and how much she valued growth and strength
She was definitely going to challenge the Dragons—but not necessarily because of the people of this world.
Belle was also on the list.
'She's crazy, but she's not stupid. She recognizes that her powers will be very useful in stopping the Dragons, and she definitely desires to stop them so she can deal with Adonis and Alicia.'
As much as Rey disliked Billy, he knew the guy also wouldn't abandon this world.
His desire to be accepted by people and seen as a chivalrous individual would drive him straight into the fire.
'Plus, he has something to prove to Alicia...'
Then, of course, there was Adonis.
However, he didn't believe it for even a second!
Sure, Rey was doubtful that he had a chance with Alicia, and he knew Billy seemed to be a man with better prospects than him.
But...!
'I know Alicia would never go for that snake! He's a creep, and nothing about their interaction strikes me as anything more than a one-sided obsession.'
Rey didn't doubt Alicia for even a moment.
'Billy must have done something to her. Maybe he charmed her or something...'
It was possible that he had even eloped with her after placing her under his Spell.
'I wouldn't doubt it if he was that unhinged now!'
Just thinking about Billy and the possibility of what he could have done to Alicia placed Rey in a different state of rage.
'I need to join this investigation.'
It was possible that he could make considerably more progress if he had access to the resources of the Alliance's investigation, but Rey had a different thing in mind.
'I can't trust the process. If I want to find her, I'll have to do it on my own.'
There was one thing that kept popping into Rey's mind when he thought about Alicia.
'The White Ember!'
All he had to do was find the ring, and he'd be able to know where she was.
With his first clue in mind, Rey already knew where he had to go.
'Looks like I'll be returning sooner than I expected...'
This time, however, this wasn't about business.
