Beard trimming and haircut
Jack and Alex received the communication from Phillip saying it was urgent. Coincidentally, Alex was chilling with the two beauties that Sean had dropped off at his place saying,
"I don't know! Elves and demons exist from now on. Boss Merlin brought them over. I give up!" and took off, leaving the two at Alex's place.
Naturally, being a Tier 2 Lv 1, Alex had already bought a separate home from his parents, and was left along with two incredibly sexy chicks.
Unfortunately for him, and fortunately for the sanity of the author, the demon girls was too cold and simply ignored him, while the tied up elf girl was just a brat with a shitty attitude.
Suffering her tantrums for hours consecutively, Alex had found it more efficient to tie her up and keep her in prison- ahem, windowless room with a mana reinforced ventilation system to prevent her escape through there like in all those uselessly dramatic movies.
Seeing the projection of Phillip telling Alex to come over since it was urgent, Alex stood up. He quickly tightened his tier that he had loosened after returning from a day of grinding level, and finally reaching Lv 2.
Just as he was leaving the door, the demon girl began to follow him, holding the elf girl in his hand, still ted in a newly replaced rope, since the old one was stinking of sweat and whatnot.
'Sigh, I guess they are Merlin's since he brought them in the first place. I was just a convenient pick-up and drop-off location.'
"Come along" he decided to give up on these two. But what was more important was to request Merlin to tell him the location of where elves and demon girls lived.
Alex had had a somewhat of a romantic life, but most of them were only getting close to him since he was rich since he was the brother of the leader. Not many were actually fond of him, and the one that was a bit too fond of him as a person and he had to run away at first sight.
But if they were elves, maybe he could have a better chance, since they did not know who he was.
While cooking up countless plans, he reached the penthouse, only to come across Jack.
Alex knew Jack as one of Merlin's newly made close friends, and he too was getting along well with Jack. The only problem was that Jack had already become peak Tier 2 before, and now was giving off the vibes of a Tier 3.
In short, he was way out of his league to make friends with someone like Jack. Then again, he was the brother of Merlin, who was way out of everyone's leagues. [1]
Entering the room after a simple greeting, the group of 4 stood rooted to the ground, unable to comprehend what was going on.
A few minutes of complete and utter silence later, tears welled up in Alex and Jack's faces as they maintained a clam expression, doing their best to hide their laughter. But Merlin clearly noticed the micro-changes in their faces and could read their expressions clearly.
Suddenly, he heard muffled laughter and looked over to notice the tier up elf was laughing her lungs out while she was gagged, and the cool demon lady was bright lava flowing beneath the skin on her face, most likely similar to how blood rushed to a human's face when under extreme emotions; a.k.a. blushing.
"Why did you bring these two here? You know what, never mind. Just tell me, can you fix my hair!"
Before Alex and Jack could say anything, the demon girl stepped up and spoke in a language unknown to the two of the, but Merlin heard it quite well.
"I can do it!"
"Alright."
Merlin then looked over at Alex and Jack and said, "keep your mouths shut."
He then looked over at the elf-girl who was lying on the floor, still tied up.
Releasing some of his mana and putting it into [Predator] to increase his fearsomeness.
"And you! If you do not forget about this instantly, I will wring your soul dry until I can extract this memory, and them I will burn the rest of your soul in the first of despair by locking into a mana stone and slowly sucking away all of your consciousness while using daily magic, and I will send your corpse into the planer void to be corrupted and turned into a corrupted being, only to kill it once again, and repeat the process until nothing is left!" [2]
After that, Merlin remembered he had the extraction spell and used 1/20th of his mana to remove and destroy the memory from the b*tch, ahem, elf b*tch, while blinding her senses to prevent her from regaining a similar memory. He did not feel like wasting more mana to remove it from the others so he left it as is.
"Take her and lock her up for all of eternity." He said grandly, then remembered that Zero was schedule to destroy everything in 4 years' time.
"For 4 yeas of eternal despair!" he corrected himself.
"Pfft! Merlin, you are as useless as before sometimes." Laughed Alex loudly as he completely forgot about asking Merlin the location of the elven paradise, while the demon lady, Bvida, picked up the Knife that Merlin had made out of Mana crystals and began to slowly slice off the hair, and trim the beard.
"Make sure to leave at leach and inch of beard. I do not like being clean shaven anymore. It feels, naked" [3]
[1]Naturally, I mean Brothers from another mother, Brothers in arms, That sort of brotherhood, not the 'step-brother' b*llshit you all are going to irritate me about. NO! ALEX, MERLIN, JACK, none of these characters are gay!!! Everyone is straight as the pole yo mama used last night!
Ahem, pardon my French. Just ignore this. I got angry because I miss Stan Lee!!!!! T^T
Yes, it has been about 12 minutes since I finished writing the previous chapter, and yes, in that much time I reached till the [1] market in the chapter. I need to write the rest of the chapter.
Peace!
[2] Ah! The satisfaction. The exhilaration of venting on someone like this.~
[3] Btw, this is a true experience, and now that I'm clean, growing a long beard feels wrong. Works both ways, but I admit, I looked better with a and inch of beard.
THIS CHAPTER IS ALSO A TRIBUTE TO STAN LEE, AND THEREFORE IS A DOUBLE CHAPTER!
