Chapter 166 The Real Terror of 'Corruption'

166  The Real Terror of 'Corruption'

While Alex is on the phone with Glen, on the wall not far away, Rommel is sitting on the ground with his hands covering his mouth.

At this time, Rommel's eyes are both wide in shock.

And that is all because of seeing the power that Alex showed earlier.

'T-that, what the hell was that? How can he beat up such a terrible monster with his bare hands?!'

Even though he is just standing from afar while hiding behind the wall earlier, Rommel can still feel just how powerful the Corruptor is.

But that powerful monster in Rommel's eyes was suddenly beaten up without even a chance of fighting back right in front of his eyes!

Just thinking of that image of Alex punching the Corruptor again and again, Rommel can't help but feel frightened.

After a while, Rommel managed to calm down himself.

Then he thought, "Wait, that man looks a bit familiar."

Once again, curiosity started to get the best of Rommel.

Slowly, he got up and took a peek in the direction where Alex is.

At this time, Alex is busy on his phone and seems to be talking to to someone.

So, Rommel used that moment to take a good look at his face for a good long while before he finally remember.

"It's him!"

"The Clown Killer!"

The image of the 'Clown Killer' that he saw on TV flashed through Rommel's head and overlaps with the figure of Alex in the distance.

...

While Alex is busy on the phone and Rommel is surprised after learning Alex's identity, something bad is actually happening near the Corruptor's corpse.

Rats, cockroaches, and many other pests and insects that lives in the darkness started to come out and gather around.

As if they saw the most alluring food in the world, their eyes turned red at the sight of the corpse and started feasting on it!

Suddenly, of all those who went near the Corruptor's corpse stopped moving.

Then the next moment, their eyes got tainted by deep black from out of the blue, making them look strange.

Just right on time, Alex ended the call on his phone and came back near the Corruptor's corpse.

"Huh? Why are there so many pests here?" Alex wondered.

But without thinking much about it, he just shooed them away from the corpse.

The rats and other pests scurried away after feeling Alex's presence, hiding in the sewers and other dirty places.

Seeing that, Alex stopped paying attention to them and took a random rock as a seat and said,

"Mr. Glen told me to leave the corpse to them again for research, so now, I'll have to wait here until they arrive."

With a bored look on his face, Alex stared at the corpse for a while before turning his eyes in another direction.

"The man there, he should have left by now, right?"

The man that Alex is talking about is none other than Rommel.

Alex already felt his presence the moment Rommel first arrived.

However, since he was busy with the Corruptor, Alex didn't really bother to pay attention to him.

Now, since he has nothing to do, he can't help think about it again.

But at this time, Rommel has already come back to his house.

Alex stopped thinking about Rommel and just patiently sat there, waiting for Glen.

He didn't have to wait for long.

In less than 5 minutes, Glen, along with his group, arrived in the alley.

"Mr. Glen, you're here!"

Alex greeted as he stood up.

Glen came over with a smile and said, "It has been a while, Alex. It seems like you've grown stronger again since the last time I saw you, huh."

Alex didn't say anything in reply and just smiled at his comment.

Noticing that Alex doesn't seem to want to talk about it, Glen shook his head gently and turned his eyes on the huge corpse on the ground.

"Is this the Invader this time?" He asked.

Hearing a new word, Alex tilted his head, "Invader?"

"Yeah," Glen nodded, "That's what we call those monsters who come to Earth."

Alex nodded in understanding.

Glen walked near the Corruptor's corpse and started observing it.

From behind him, Alex followed with an indifferent face.

After a while, Glen turned his face back to Alex and said, "Just like I said, we will be taking back the corpse for now to study it. We will give it back to you after a while."

"Alright."

Alex nodded, "Then, I'll go ahead now. It's already late and I want to rest in my home."

Alex said his farewells with Glen and the others before he left the alley and continued his way back home.

A couple of minutes later, Alex arrived at his house.

Immediately, Alex slumped on the sofa with a relieve look on his face.

"Ahh~ I'm finally back home. Going outside feels so tiresome nowadays."

Thinking back to the things that happened earlier, Alex sighed.

"I'm really tired now. I guess I'll just head to bed."

Without bothering to eat dinner, Alex got up from the sofa and headed to his bedroom.

Not long after, the sound of snoring could be heard coming from Alex's bedroom.

...

On the top floor of one of the skyscrapers that stood in Pearl City, two people could be seen talking.

One of them is a middle aged man with a huge scar on his face, giving him a very fierce appearance.

While the other one is a chubby man with a thick glasses.

If Alex is here right now, he will immediately recognize this man.

Because it's the man who annoyed him back in the grocery store!

At this time, the chubby man has a subservient attitude unlike the rudeness that he showed in the store.

The man with a scar looked at him with dismissive eyes and said, "So, you saw the person known as 'Clown Killer', huh."

"Yes, Boss Ti!"

Replied the chubby man.

Then he started narrating the whole thing that happened in the store earlier.

At the end of his story, a thoughtful look appeared on the face of the man with a scar.

"Hmm, an aura that is capable of putting pressure on multiple people. It seems like that kid has really grown rapidly."

After a short pause, he said, "The plan to recruit him should no longer be delayed."

Saying that, Boss Ti, along with the chubby man, started making a plan on how to attract Alex to their side.

…

Oblivious to this, Alex slept through the night in a peaceful manner.

"Ugh..."

Alex slowly opened his eyes and saw the bright light shining through the window.

"Yawn~"

Alex got up from his bed while yawning and headed to the kitchen.

Grabbing a glass of gold water, Alex sat down on the sofa in the living room, still in a daze.

After a while, Alex opened his mouth and muttered,

"... Should I go to school or just head to Alter Dimension?"

Honestly, Alex doesn't even want to take a step outside his house at this moment.

It's because he is afraid of being recognized by other people again.

However, Alex remembered that he promised Kris last night that he will meet her today.

In the end, Alex could only let out a helpless sigh and stand up from his seat.

Like normal, Alex started preparing for school and in no time, he was all ready to go!

Just as Alex was about to leave the house, his phone suddenly started ringing.

Ring~

Without even needing to look at the caller, Alex can already guess who it is.

So, without delay, Alex answered, "Hello, Kris."

Just like Alex guessed, it is indeed Kris who called him.

"Alex, don't forget to come to school, okay? Don't you dare skip class, you promised me, remember!"

Listening to Kris, Alex felt helpless and replied, "Yeah, yeah, I'm about to leave the house when you called."

"Really?! Okay, good. Then, see you later!"

After saying that, Kris hung up the call and Alex could only shake his head.

Alex didn't forget to lock the house before leaving, leisurely walking to school.

On his way, Alex passed by the alley where he found the Corruptor last night and saw that some people were gathering at the entrance of the alley.

Clearly, they are still gossiping early in the morning about what just happened last night.

Alex didn't care about any of them.

He just silently walked away and continued his way to school.
