After the last fight, Alex had to reevaluate himself. In the situation with Luke, he should have taken Luke out silently first, then the other two. In truth, he panicked because Jewel was in front. However, the women were in no immediate danger; the men would have waited until the fight upstairs was done, then rape and enjoy the women together. With his blades covered in venom, he could have just nicked Luke silently and then focus on the other two men. He could have taken out the entire gang. Even if the women were hurt in the process, he had looted enough health potions to supply a small army. Even Star agreed with his evaluation; his body moved faster than his brain. It was purely instincts.

Tonight, Alex planned to search and crave out so quality time for Luke. Luke was worth a thousand exp dead, and he had information about who hired them. Alex was not a revengeful person, at least that is what he thought; if Luke agreed to hand him the location of all his comrades, he would let him go. 1000exp for 10000exp was an easy decision. Plus, Luke was a beast-man; why would he be loyal to humans when he is about to die?

By six in the evening, the sky was ultimately dark. Alex took one of the decomposing corpses, wrapped it in a sheet, and place it on the bed. Because of the wonderful healer healing him, he could not leave the decomposing corpses on the floor as his cover. Alex opened a rift, entered, changed into a set of new clothes that he looted, placed a quiver full of arrows on his back with a bow in his hand, and headed in the direction of the adventure guild. Alex wanted to look the part as a new adventurer. His first aim was to register as an adventurer, then find the healer's address.

Alex blinked to the area near adventurer's guild; thanks to lith memories, it was easy to find. His purpose was to get I.d. Although Lith had a citizen I.d. Alex wanted one with his name, he was not Lith and anyone who claimed he would be proven wrong by the identification card and that he could use mana. To create an Identification card, an orb was used to determine if the person was wanted for any crime in the human kingdom, Beast kingdom, or elves kingdom. The orb was also able to find out the person's real name; Star had already explained the entire process to Alex. He didn't need to worry about Lith's name showing up since he had the blood of a god in him and because his soul wasn't Lith's.

Alex exited the void in an ally and walked into the guild, which was empty at this hour. Alex approached the desk and told the secretary of his purpose for coming here. The secretary's name was Joy; she gave Alex a form to fill out, then processed it when he was done. His information was displayed by the orb:

Name: Alex Star

Race: human

Class:

Element Affinity: Shadow

Mana core: level 1

HP: 30

Mana: 30

STR: 15

Agility: 40

`Intelligence: 25

Stamina: 45

The information Star wanted them to see was shown on the orb. Alex was his son; of course, he changed the information. There was no need for that kind of attention; Alex wasn't a goody to shoes, nor was Star stupid.

The secretary reminded Alex of the usual do and don'ts before giving him an identity card with the occupation of adventurer and his name on it, Alex Star. Once he received his I.d., Alex asked for the wonderful healer's address to find out that the healer lived upstairs in the guild. 

The guild employed and provided room to those who could heal others since adventurers would consistently get injured. The healers would be paid twice, once by the guild for healing a certain quota every month and another by the person they are healing.

Alex exited the guild, entered an ally, open a rift, jumped in, and blinked back into the adventurer guild. Alex was planning to heal the wonderful healer. Alex went upstairs and found several luxurious apartments; there were tags on the doors that had the healer's name. There were also signs that either said welcome, out on an adventure, go to the next healer, do not disturb, in the process of healing, out of office, or not in the mood. 

This helped Alex find Gail's apartment; Gail's apartment was on the far end of the hall with a do not disturb sign. Alex entered, to the sight of Gail receiving fellatio from another beast-man. On echo this was normal, everyone had their own preference, man, woman, beast, monsters, half breeds and etc. Alex went to check out each room in the apartment to ensure that there was no one else. Once he was sure that it was empty, he used his skill to inspect the beast-men.

Before giving Gail his full attention, Alex changed into his armor within the void, placed his ghost blades in the scabbards of the armor on both sides of each leg, wore a cloak and a mask. He took two axes out of his inventory; he wanted to torture Gail so he couldn't use the blades since it's still covered in venom. Alex opened a rift behind the kneeling beast-man then chop him in the head. Blood-spattered all over Gail, whose head was looking up at the ceiling in enjoyment, as he too, was met with an ax to his genitals. Gail fell to his knees and hollowing like a banshee.

Alex didn't stop him. The healer's rooms were soundproof to provide the healers with privacy and occasions when the patient hollowed like a wounded animal either for bone realignment or horrible news. Gail hollowed for two whole minutes before closing up the wound and relieving some of his pain with his healing skills while Alex watched with another ax in his hands.

"Mr. healer, I will be direct since I have a lot of people to kill tonight. Who sent you to poisoned Lith." Alex asked nicely as if they were old friends. Hearing that Alex was on a killing spree, the healer did not even think of lying. What was more important, his life or his patron? Maybe just maybe, he could get out of this. If not, why not drag the bitch to the nether world with him? She said Lith was a fucking commoner.

"Alice Waterfield paid me; she supplied me with the poison; I had nothing to do with this," Gail said as he suppressed the pain from his lower genitals.

'nothing to do with it, didn't he poison me!' Alex thought. "Why would she try to poison lith?" Alex asked, even though he could guess why. He wanted to know if the doctor knew the truth.

"He sexually assaulted her. She just wants revenge!" Gail stammered. Alex wanted to torture Gail, but after seeing that he knew nothing, Alex lost interest. However, that didn't mean that he would let him go. Alex was going to test out the nether snake venom. He always wanted to, but the situation was always horrible. Gail's soundproof apartment was perfect. Alex threw the ax in his hand into Gail's thigh because he felt like it, and Gail resumed his banshee-like scream.

Alex took out some rope he looted to tie the arms and legs of his patient to the ceiling and ground. He then stated to the healer, "ssssshhhhhhhhh, I Am a healer too," before taking off his mask. 

Seeing Alex take off his mask, Gail knew he was going to die. Which killer, do you know, exposes himself to his target just to let them go. Gail was about to offer Alex the world until he saw Alex's face. Realization dawned on him. He was fucked no matter what. Gail didn't bother to scream for help; he knew too well that the room was soundproof. He tamed many men over the years.

Alex took out the jar of nether venom and was about to stick a needle into it when he got another quest. Alex sucked his teeth in annoyance, took an ax, then chopped Gail in the head.

Alex took the bodies in his inventory and then used black fire to consume the blood on the floor and blink toward the knight fort.
