Primordial Soul's Rebirth

Chapter 246: CHAPTER 246 – Those bastards!

Alex just kept watching the video on repeat as he didn't have anything else to do.

And not like it was bad or something, he might just discover something new.

'Wait a second….'

Suddenly, Alex noticed something.

'Why does it feel familiar to me….?'

Alex felt that the ability they were using was familiar somehow.

'Ah…'

Just then, his eyes fell on Clare, who came out of the kitchen with a water bottle and was now heading upstairs.

'I see…'

He finally understood why that ability felt familiar to him.

He looked at Clare who was walking upstairs with slow and sleepy movements.

It was clear that she was going to get some sleep.

He contemplated whether he should talk to her about this or not.

'Whatever, let's just see what she says…'

It was not that he suspected Clare of being part of that organization.

He won't be fooled that easily, he knew that Clare definitely loved Cecil, and if she were a member of that mysterious group, then she wouldn't have proposed to live here, so close to him, where he could kill her anytime.

"Clare, could you watch this for a second?"

Alex voiced out loud, gaining the attention of the one he called as well as the ones who were lying about.

"Hm?"

Clare turned her groggy eyes toward Alex.

"What is it?"

Muttered in a low voice before she moved toward Alex.

She was really sleepy right now, just like other members of Crimson Lotus, she had been running here and there, answering the calls of the people who claimed to have some clues about this mysterious group.

She was strong, and she was competent, so she was given a lot of tasks, which she had been doing for a while.

And today was the first day she got a break.

So, all she wanted to do right now was sleep, but since Alex called her, she walked toward him.

Clare knew that Alex wouldn't ask for her without a reason and if he was calling for her, then the reason must be something related to her.

"Here."

Alex turned on the laptop and gave it to Clare.

Clare was still sleepy so she just held the laptop and looked at Alex with confusion.

"What?"

By now, the girls were up and about.

Their laziness was gone.

They didn't know what was happening, but looking at Alex's expression, they felt like something was wrong….

"Play the video, and keep forwarding it until just 5 mins before the end of the video."

Alex gestured for her to play the video.

Clare started at Alex for a while before she played the video with a sigh.

'Let's just watch it…'

She played the video and rolled it till the (– 5 minutes) mark.

*Ting Tong*

*Baam*

'Fuck! That scared the hell out of me!'

'…. oh no, that shit was bought for 50 credits….'

Just as the video started, Clare's cold eyes turned dead, and then they turned toward Alex.

"Just keep watching…"

Alex muttered, ignoring the look Clare gave him.

This was not the time for jokes, he wanted to know the relation between Clare and those guys if there was any.

'Empathy.'

He quickly activated his ability that lets him see people's emotions.

Now some would ask: If he has such a good ability, why not keep it activated all the time?

Well, this ability is not as simple as it seems and although it is good, it has a very bad side effect.

Right now, however, Alex doesn't use it much because of another reason.

This ability used demonic energy, something he couldn't instantly regenerate like his mana.

Rather, the speed of regeneration of demonic energy was so low that Alex thought that it was not even regenerating when he first felt it.

So, he had to use demonic energy with care, it was something that could help him in many situations.

Clare sighed again when she heard Alex's words.

'Just what is it…...?' Continue your journey with ???

Now she was getting a bit curious as well.

What was it that Alex wanted her to see so much?

The video kept playing and Clare saw all of it until the part where the guys had waved their hands arrived.

"What?!"

Clare's eyes widened, and her body trembled.

All of the sleepiness in her eyes evaporated.

She was trembling all over as she stood there without a word.

No word came out of her mouth, instead, she just kept staring at the screen, even though her focus was somewhere else.

If not for her good control over her reflexes, even the laptop would've fallen off, that's just how much she was out of it, right now.

Alice, Ann, and Luna who saw Clare's exaggerated reaction now had a serious expression on their faces.

Alex, on the other hand, frowned.

He could see Clare's emotions right now, and there was something that made him confused.

'She is shocked….'

Clare's was shocked or more like stupefied.

It was as if she was looking at something she never thought was possible.

And that was fine.

This emotion was something Alex knew would be there, no matter what.

Even if they were not related to her, she would be surprised to know that there was someone out there, in this world, who had abilities just like hers.

She would be shocked even if she was related to them, after all, who would like to see their friends being discovered by their enemies?

What mattered most and the things that Alex was focusing more on were the other emotions that appeared along with that first emotion.

However, he was confused when he saw the emotion he didn't expect to see.

'Panic, fear, hesitation, regret, or some other would've been fine.

I could think of reasons for them, but why rage, sadness, and killing intent at the same time?'

Alex's frown deepened as he saw Clare's body trembling more and more as her eyes grew red.

"Those bastards!"

She screamed in agony.

They could all feel her pain from that scream.

*Crush*

The next second a crushing sound was heard and the laptop in Clare's hand was gone, leaving only crumbles.

However, no one said anything, it didn't matter right now.

What mattered was the fact that someone they were treating as a subordinate was now on her knees as tears streamed down her cheeks.

'WHY?!"

Clare bellowed to no one in particular.

Alice wanted to go ahead and maybe try to console Clare because looking at her in that state was not bearable to her.

She didn't know what was happening, but she knew that Clare was suffering.

But before she could move forward, Ann held her wrist and shook her head.

'What??'

Alice didn't understand why Ann was stopping her but then she saw Luna and Alex looking at her as well.

Then she realized, it was only her who moved from her spot, no one else did, which meant only one thing.

'They don't want to help her, at least not right now….'

So, just like others, Alice also stood back on her spot and looked at Clare with pity in her eyes.

Alice felt pity when she looked at Clare who was crying like a baby, the same girl who always maintained a cold face was now grieving like someone had killed her family.

How could Alice have known how close her guess was….?
