Chapter 637 The Chaos Curse strikes again. Or did it?

10 MINUTES LATER.
After his easy win over Delia, the newly-awakened Alex did not waste any more time as he tried to use his power to observe the Traveler's World.
[ Alex ]: ….
Since 7 months had already passed by while Alex was in coma, there are bound to be some interesting events that had happened during this time. Alex wanted to know them all now, as his curious mind could not take the suspense anymore.
But all of his attempts to observe was prevented by Alina, who gave Alex a smile that was also not a smile.
[ Alina ]: Hey Alex, so how was your condition? Do you feel fine?
The way that Alina said these words, along with the tight grip that she had on Alex's arm, made it obvious that she was not willing to let Alex leave at all.
Such action made Alex feel slightly cold, with his mind somewhat confused from Alina's current gestures.
[ Alex ]: Hm? Of course I feel fine, Alina. After all, I had prepared countermeasures against what had happened in my coma. Because of that, I was able to benefit from the whole process. But enough talking about me. Let's talk about this world.
[ Alina ]: This world? What about this world?
There it is again. The same coy smile on Alina's face, making it apparent that she's serious on making Alex stay.
Seeing this smile from Alina made Alex shiver, as he could not fathom why she is acting like this now.
[ Alex ]: Well I mean, I was in coma for 7 months, so something must have happened in this world without my notice. Can you tell me all about it? Oh, and please don't hide any bad events from me. I can easily listen to them…
Although Alex was feeling extremely refreshed from his awakening, he did not try to use his upgraded abilities to leave Alina.
Instead, he opted to stay and listen to her, as he had a gut feeling that if he left, a horrible event might happen, something which he would possilbly regret.
Alex was not sure what this event could be, but with his new abilities, he was sure that the current him cannot survive this event.
Luckily, this regretful event will not be caused by Alina. She will however, be victimized by this event if it does happen….
[ Alina ]: Indeed, a lot has happened for the 7 months that you were out, Alex. But you should not worry about them. Everything went according to the projected growth of our group, and a lot of benefits has also happened to us. So don't think of the past for now. Just think… about the present.
[ Alex]: But-
[ Alina ]: You can read about the events that happened in the past 7 months once we're done here. For now, you should do your best talking to 'them'.
[ Alex ]: What?
Although Alex was already tired of listening to Alina, her latest words made him perk up, as he heard things that he did not expect to hear.
Alina was not willing to tell him about the events in this world for the past 7 months, and instead, she wanted him to meet with some 'people'?
No matter which way Alex looked at this offer, there is something fishy about Alina's words.
[ Alex ]: Meet 'Them'? Who the hell are you talking about? And why do I even have to meet with these people? Come on, I just woke up form a coma! Don't I deserve to get some rest?
[ Alina ]: Rest? Do you even need a rest, Alex? From the way that you looked now, you appeared to have received the best 'rest' in your life. I mean, look at your skin and aura. Both are at their peak states, and they look as healthy as they can be!
[ Alex ]: Hey, I-
[ Alina ]: Alex, tell me in the eyes that you are tired, and that you need rest. Come on, tell that to me. If you're indeed telling the truth, then I will let you rest.
[ Alex ]: ….
[ Alina ]: You're not saying anything? That's good! So you're indeed well-rested!
[ Alex ]: Tsk, f**king Chaos Curse. If it weren't for it, I would not be pushed around by others…
[ Alina ]: What did you say, Alex?
[ Alex ]: Nothing, Alina. Nothing
[ Alina ]: ….
With the threat of an impending disaster and Alina's impeccable logic, Alex found no way to avoid the 'meeting' that she was talking about now.
This made Alex feel slightly depressed, as he thought that he will just be wasting his time meeting some not-so-important people.
But when Alina uttered her next words, all the depression inside Alex disappeared.
[ Alina ]: Oh, since you're already in good condition, then let's do what we're supposed to do. We should meet up with all the Living Returners already. They're just waiting for us in the living room, so it won't take us long to meet them.
[ Alex ]: What?
Upon hearing what she said, Alex quickly spun around to face Alina, with his face narrowed in extreme suspicion. His whole body also tensed as he crossed his arms, making his body loom over Alina.
His previously nonchalant aura from earlier has also disappeared, leaving Alex with only a distrusting aura emanating from his skin.
These changes made Alex appear as if he did not believe what Alina just said, and this 'disbelief' appeared to have been carried over on his words.
[ Alex ]: You… what did you just say? You said that I will have a meeting, and this meeting will be with who again?
[ Alina ]: Alex, don't give me that look. You heard what I said. We will have a meeting with the Living Returners right now.
[ Alex ]: Excuse me, but did you just say the Living Returners? Pardon me for saying this, but how did they suddenly get into our conversation?
[ Alina ]: Alex, there's no way that I can explain it to you so easily. It just so… complicated.
[ Alex ]: Complicated? Oh wow, this is the first time I heard you say those words, Alina. How amazi-
[ Alina ]: You know what? You should just meet up with the Living Returners and be done with it! That way, you can still keep control over our two continents! You wouldn't want losing control over our continents, right?
[ Alex ]: ???
