Chapter 362: Is there a point in breeding?
“Yasir…” Harvey couldn’t believe his eyes, for a man that he shouldn’t see for at least a few years more had actually appeared before him.
Yasir looked like before, smiling in a usual, confident way. He wore a suit with a hat, and as he took it off, his white hair fluttered alongside the wind. In fact, he seemed relatively gentle like gentlemen his age.
“Won’t you invite me in? I’m in the mood for some tea. I would love to drink with my old friend,” Yasir parted his lips, speaking in a soft tone.
He didn’t seem like the antagonist leader or the top 1 player whose demon had killed thousands of people. He didn’t carry any killing intent.
And as Harvey knew that Yasir couldn’t match him here, for he kept his powers from another world, he invited Yasir for tea.
‘How did he arrive in this world so early? It’s as I thought, then… The antagonists have started killing players in this world…’ Harvey whispered inwardly, intending to invite Yasir to his house, trap him in his four walls, then ask all the questions.
There was a slight problem, however.
Yasir… wasn’t stupid.
He wouldn’t come here without any insurance. Perhaps, he could die on Earth and respawn in the Avander World, just like the antagonists.
But if that was the case, Harvey could always keep Yasir from killing himself, sealing him on Earth, which would give the players and Alex a significant advantage.
Harvey wasn’t sure, ‘I can’t risk fighting him now… Alex and Lavinia are close…’
And while Harvey squeezed his brain juices to predict Yasir’s objective, Yasir casually strolled into the house.
He took his boots and hung his hat before going to the living room, “Nice to see you again, Lavinia… Ah, you poor girl.”
Lavinia tilted her head at such familiarity, for she couldn’t recall the sudden visitor, “Have we met somewhere?”
“Yes,” Yasir smiled without revealing anything, for he didn’t want to rile up Harvey yet. He turned his eyes to Alex, curving his lips up, “Alexander Deathwill Mao. It’s our first meeting face to face.
You sure are a troublesome fellow. I can’t wait to see what you will become at the end of the game. You surely will be one of those players to fight us at the end, if not the star shining the most on the battlefield.”
That tone and words raised many suspicions in Alex’s mind. Yasir’s appearance also matched the guy Anais Foxtail had warned him about.
And as the man spoke, he exuded charisma that made people question his existence, as if wanting to know his objectives and purposes. Perhaps, he could make people listen to him and follow his beliefs with a few more words.
Alex grew suspicious of the man, feeling like his thoughts were right.
And as Harvey appeared in Alex’s view with a scrunched face, Alex knew that the man was surely the antagonist’s leader, Yasir.
Harvey confirmed it with a slight nod.
‘How?’ Alex questioned inwardly while deeply gazing at the man.
“Make a tea, Lavinia,” Harvey said in a different tone than usual, clearly wary and influenced by the new visitor. His wife thought Yasir was some loan shark, for her husband was too serious and a little nervous.
She went to the kitchen.
Alex and Harvey took seats next to each other, staring at Yasir.
The antagonist’s leader smiled faintly, for he had been looking forward to such a picture. It was a picture of father and son sharing similar beliefs and principles.
They were pretty handsome… and cute.
“What do you think about your father, Alexander?” Yasir asked a seemingly casual question while waiting for the tea.
Alex glanced at Harvey before replying, “I could and always can rely on my father. He raised me into the man I am now together with my mother. And now, I strive to be a good husband like him.
I also want to grow into a man he can always rely on, too.”
Harvey faintly smiled, his heart brimming with pride and love.
Yasir chuckled too, his next words revealing the purpose of his question, “You could say that he is a cool father, then?”
Alex nodded.
Yasir added with a wider smile, “One of your goals has been achieved then, Harvey. You could pass some tips to me, you know? I also want to start a family after we arrive in Paradise.”
Alex and Harvey narrowed their eyes.
It wasn’t just confidence in Yasir’s words. The man had a clear path and plan for success, believing in himself. And he had such belief even while knowing about Alex, who started wielding three unique energies that were contradictory.
But as abnormalities had already started appearing, such as antagonists able to cross the worlds, Harvey and Alex felt like the worlds were far from the real chaos.
‘A cool father… That’s one of my father’s goals… This man didn’t come here just to ask this, did he?’ Alex thought, clenching his hands as he felt an invisible pressure befalling him as if Yasir had already cast some magic.
At that time, Lavinia returned with cups of tea.
She eased up the atmosphere somehow, but the tense mood between her family and the tanned man didn’t elude her.
She cautiously sat beside her husband, silently passing the tea to the antagonist’s leader.
Yasir took the cup after thanking her with a faint smile, keeping the proper decorum, “It’s delicious tea, Lavinia.”
“Thank you,” Lavinia awkwardly replied, not knowing how to face the man in such an atmosphere. Worse, this white-haired guy was the cause of such a mood, so she felt conflicted.
After a few more sips, Yasir asked another question, “Is there a good reason to breed in this rapidly moving toward chaos world, Harvey?
Don’t you think you have driven your son into a corner with your nonsense dream?
A cool grandpa… I think that’s an impossible dream for you.
Your son is young. He just started having a good family life, didn’t he? He needs to learn how to tame his girls before even breeding with them.
He needs a few years more before babies start coming out from his wives.
That might be too late, I reckon… What do you two think? I’m all ears,” Yasir smiled widely, bringing a cup of tea closer to his lips.
Alex and Harvey clenched their hands.
