Modern Cultivation : The Strongest Couple Bonded by Vampire System

'I am sure that being is related to that outer gate system. But what does it mean to know the truth?

And those golden eyes, they look familiar.' Alex thought in his mind, not replying to Vesa.

He turned his gaze to Olivia, 'Those golden eyes… no way! Oli has been with me since I was a kid. It's just a coincidence.

It's not like there are no other people with golden eyes.' Alex convinced himself.

His eyes sharpened as he looked at Olivia; many tough thoughts started surfacing in his mind, things he wanted to deny.

His hand moved toward Olivia's, a qi appearing on his finger; he just wanted to make a prick on it when suddenly Olivia's eyes fluttered open.

"Where… where am I?" Olivia asked groggily as she felt her head throb in pain.

The last memory she had was of looking at the portal, then everything turned blank.

Everything was a blur, but hearing a familiar voice made her feel safe and not worried.

"Alex?"

"Yes, Olivia, are you hurt anywhere?"

The blurry image didn't stay long; it quickly returned back to clarity. "Are we out of the dungeon?"

Alex turned his gaze toward the driver. It's not that he didn't believe him, but it's better to not know unnecessary information.

Understanding what he meant, Olivia changed the topic. She took out her phone and started searching for the press conference.

Seeing Emily making her speech made her heart feel warm and nostalgic. "To think this day has finally come for the Guild to start back."

Alex let out a chuckle, "You say it as if you didn't know it would happen."

Right now, Alex decided to put away his worries at the back of his head. He had enough enemies; suspecting someone he knew was not something he needed now.

It's illogical, but the thought that someone close to him could possibly be his enemy was something he wanted to remove from his mind.

Both of them then watched the press conference together. It didn't take long for them to arrive at their destination.

Alex told Olivia to get another checkup, but she insisted she didn't need it. Instead, she took Alex to eat together and told him what happened.

"Wait, I need to take them out first," Alex replied.

He pointed out his awe cube, then let William and Alice out. Alex then introduced both of them to Olivia.

Seeing William and Alice piqued her interest. William's feline ears and tails were only bone, and Alice looked just like a normal human.

"Aren't you a fairy? Do they look the same as us?"

"Of course not, I just hide my features for now," Alice replied. "So you have woken up. Are you alright?"

Seeing Olivia's confused face, Alex then explained that they were taking care of her when she was unconscious.

"I see. Thank you for taking care of me, Alice, William."

William raised both his hands, "No need to thank me; Alice is the one who looked after you."

"Well, we can talk later; let's have a meal first," Alex said, pointing for them to sit.

They then exchanged some small talk while discussing their future plans.

Alex needed identities for Alice and William. He also planned for both of them to enroll in the Guild.

"That will not be easy, Alex, unless you plan to get help from the association. If it's only normal people, I can still find a way; your mother has many networks in many orphanages.

We can just report them as kids who haven't got an ID yet. But I am sure you don't want only this. Since you want them to become hunters, the process will be harder.

Their background check is no joke; if they find even the slightest bit of suspicion, they will use ability users to check their background.

I always wondered why they did this in the past. Isn't it fine as long as they have the ability?

This process is even more stringent compared to those that got promoted; some even make me feel puzzled, like testing blood, medical checkup."

"I see, you mean the association purposely looks for people from other species. This means we really do have some of them living with us."

"I am sure yes, at this point, denying this is just foolish."

"Try to get some normal IDs first, then I will think again how to get their hunter licenses; worst case, they will just act as my bodyguards."

Alice and William didn't put any comment, as they had zero understanding of the situation. Instead, they were now busy reading some basic information about this world.

"Well, before that we also need for both of you to learn our language. Even those that have brain implant like us won't understand our language unless I give them the data," Alex said to Alice and William.

"Don't worry, it won't take long for me to learn a new language, give me a week." Alice replied

William also gave a nod, but he himself wasn't sure how long it would take to learn the language, so he didn't say anything.

Alex wasn't worried; with VR, there are many interactive education systems for them to learn the language. It will be far easier after both of them become cultivators.

They then proceeded to have some small talk until Emily, Quartz, and Zold returned from the press conference.

The group was relieved to see Olivia was all right;

They then wanted to have a party to celebrate the reopening of the Guild and their first dungeon dive.

If this is before, Alex would be excited to join in.

The celebration would invite many people of influence from the association, allowing them to increase his network. But after what happened, he decided not to go.

Influence? Network?

In the eyes of absolute power, it's all useless.

"I think I will skip today's party; I have a few things to take care of," Alex then threw a bangle toward William, "I have modified this one; you can use it to appear as human.

You can join the party, but remember, don't talk to other people who are not from our Guild."
