chapter 1418 epitome of handsomeness
lex felt like an arrow pierced his heart... not really. actually, it made sense that no one wanted to go. even though he had stopped using the feature of the inn that allowed him to purchase workers, he couldn't ignore the fact that all of them had literally been created to be the perfect workers of the inn.
if that was the case, it only made sense that they did not want to leave the inn unless explicitly for work. when they all ventured into the origin realm to help him set up against sanguis pluvia, they were helping one of their own. but going on vacation... didn't really appeal to them.
secretly, lex had been expecting this, and even hoped for it.
"well if no one wants to go that's fine as well," lex said. "i'll still use one of the tickets, and i suppose since no one else wants to go i can just sell the other two and..."
"no, no, you don't need to do that," velma said cheerily. "i'll go with you! it sounds so exciting!"
velma was one of the most recent additions to the immortal realm, and it was a narrow admission. cultivation was not really her strong suit and she had not paid it too much attention.
ironically, the moment she became an immortal, she suddenly became one of the strongest immortals lex had ever seen, so much so that even he felt a dangerous aura from her, despite the fact that she was just at the beginning of the realm.
he strongly suspected that it was because of the tenet that she had chosen for herself. the tenet she had chosen... was gossip.
like lex, she only had one tenet, and her control over her tenet was so amazing that she had accidentally discovered lawcraft while writing an anonymous entry for her own magazine about a cute love story she witnessed.
it was not that lex wasn't handsome. far from it, in fact, for he had an irresistible charm that few could rival. unfortunately, gerard could absolutely rival it.
"it's settled then," lex said. "the three of us will head out tomorrow. pack anything you might need. this should be a fun trip."
the meeting went on for a little while longer, while everyone else chatted. now that the matter was resolved, and they themselves didn't have to go, everyone was suddenly interested in giving the three of them ideas for what to do at the expo.
yet as he listened to one of the workers suggest to velma that she should scout for a race that would make ideal lifeguards for the lava pools at the inn, lex was suddenly grateful that it was velma and gerard joining him and not the others.
for one, many of the others carried a bloodline that lex had recently realized was a lot more dangerous than it appeared. anachronistic ignition was the second bloodline the workers could get, and only recently did lex realize how absurdly dangerous it was. the bloodline literally affected the rules of time, somehow without killing or negatively affecting the user at all.
he was not one to experiment on his own workers, but if others found out about it outside the inn, he had no doubt that many would want to kidnap them to study their bloodline. if anyone could learn anything about the laws of time from their bloodline, it would be worth any amount of trouble, which is why lex wanted to avoid taking them out.
that was another reason he had turned the expo into a vacation. he was sure it would dissuade them.
"we'll meet up at the midnight manor tomorrow. i have a few other things to do first," said lex as he exited the meeting, and teleported away.
when he reappeared, he was in front of moon, who was still sleeping.
"hey sis," lex said, though he expected no response. "guess what i recently found out?"
