LIGHTNOVELONLINE Chapter 305: Emotion
William, meanwhile, didn't say much. His thoughts were still burdened with what the president told him.
After meeting Alex, he kept hesitating about what he should do. He had already given his word to Solomon. The next decision was whether he should tell Alex or not.
While he was busy with this, Olivia was also troubled with her own feelings. Her eyes kept stealing glances at Alex and MingYue.
Her heart throbbed, looking at them.
'Why is it so painful now… is this because of my bad habit? I always want something I cannot have. If only I hadn't rejected him at that time.'
Meanwhile, Emily was looking forward to meeting up with her mother and father. Dead or alive, she knew the expedition wouldn't end until they found him.
"Brother, by the way, are you sure our precaution is enough? Next week I have many meetings. If this takes longer than that, they will realize something is happening."
"That will be great. I hope that old fox sends us some backup. I already prepared a timed email to him, just in case."
"If there is something that troubles you and MingYue, how could other hunters be useful?"
Alex let out a chuckle, "I am surprised. Aren't you part of them? Don't you know how strong they really are?"
"Honestly, I don't know, but brother, you are immortal, and so is MingYue. If it's an enemy you cannot defeat, who else on this planet can defeat it?"
"I am flattered, Emily, but there are many reasons we could still need help. Don't forget, a dungeon is another world.
Even though your brother has his own army, who knows if we still get overwhelmed by their numbers. And knowing him, I think he just doesn't want the hassle of cleaning up afterward."
Alex just smirked, neither denying nor confirming MingYue's speculation.
She was not wrong; Alex didn't want to take another refugee in Edonia now. Especially not the race that caused the biggest tragedy in his life. If he followed his rage, he would choose to burn them all to ashes.
But this doesn't mean he would let their planet go. Alex's plan was to kick out all the people there to his planet, then take the world's core to Edonia.
As for what to do with these people, he planned to throw it to Solomon. He believed the old fox would have a good idea and method of how to use them.
"Don't look down on yourself, Emily. Now that you can control your light element, your attack couldn't be underestimated."
"I hope so. Who knows what kind of enemy we will face."
At this moment, a warm hand held Emily's shoulder. Turning her head, she saw Quartz smiling at her.
"Don't worry. I know from experience that our current strengths cannot be underestimated.
I am sure we can even face off with those five-star hunters now. Believe more in yourself, Emily."
"Thank you, Aunt," Emily said with a smile.
Normally, with her experience as a hunter, she would not feel like this. But for her, the operation was just that important. She wanted it to succeed no matter what.
"Don't worry, Emily. In case something happens, with your brother's sigil, we can all regenerate and don't forget that there are still my abilities.
Even though the range is still not far, I can heal you from some distance now. This way, you can save on life force energy," Olivia added.
Emily nodded, her eyes filled with confidence. Seeing their exchange, MingYue couldn't help but feel a bit of envy.
When she came out with people from her sect, they were too busy planning how to hijack the others, not how to protect themselves.
Feeling MingYue's emotion, Alex turned his gaze, then asked telepathically, 'Is something the matter?'
'Nothing, just reminded of the past. Also, can you stop doing that, Alex? I just don't feel comfortable if you keep reacting every time my emotions fluctuate.'
Alex let out a chuckle, 'Sorry, it's just the closer we are, the more I feel your emotions. Aren't you the same?'
'I do, but I don't react to all of it. It just helps me to understand you better.'
'You know, I am still wondering about what we said last time and why Alucard chose a human as his heir. Then I realized there is also one important thing I almost forgot.'
'You mean why he insisted the inheritor become a couple?'

'Yes, I don't believe he just did that on a whim. There should be something there. Maybe we will know if our feelings for each other deepen.'
'Alright, stop there. Emotions cannot be forced. Just let it grow naturally.'
'I know. I am not pushing you; I am just saying it is a possibility. Let's say that is right.
Humans are emotional creatures, and love is one of the deepest emotions. Do you think emotions are related to filling the rest of the 50%?'
'Alex… you read too many novels. Do you think this is a fantasy where you can get angry and miraculously awaken hidden power or something?
It's not like that movie my brother likes to watch, where the character gets angry, their hair turns golden, and they become super strong.'
Alex let out a chuckle. 'I know, that is impossible. But when we are angry or have intense emotions, it does affect our hormones, producing many chemicals that could affect our strength. I just wonder if it is related to that.'
'It's not. I also study a lot about the human body. Those so-called adrenaline come from survival instincts, not our emotions.'
'But our emotions decide what triggers our survival instincts. Otherwise, how do you explain an average woman raising a car to rescue her baby or someone in desperation taking their own life?'
MingYue didn't directly respond as she thought about what Alex told her.
Meanwhile, the group just looked at Alex and MingYue's interaction with a helpless sigh.
As they communicated telepathically, to Emily and the others, it appeared as though they were looking deeply into each other's eyes like a couple in love.
