Chapter 1175 1094: A Short Confrontation 2 And A Conspiracy
Alex, on the other hand, had an impassive smile as he inspected the man whose son had put a contract on. Talking about the son, he was not far from them, Alex didn't pay attention to him as he had something to test.
Meanwhile, Incursio chuckled as she could feel that it was time. She was curious about what reaction the mayor would show.
''The reception is not bad after having us wait for so many days but I'm disappointed by how small-minded you're. You are nothing great."
Those nearby expressions were a sight to behold.
The mayor's expression didn't even change. He wasn't the young and rash kid he had been in the past nor was he stupid, he was someone with plenty of experience.
In terms of heights, Alex and Angus stood at nearly the same level. As such, one didn't need to be a genius to understand that Alex was looking down on him from a mental point of view.
But so what?
Why would he need to care about the yapping of a young boy who is about to die? Thinking so, his smile changed into a little smile as he gave a bow, "Sir Alexander is indeed the mightiest, I admit my loss."
Alex who was still accumulating energy stagnated a little bit, before receding his aura, a frown on his face as he looked more attentively at the mayor.
Alex understood one thing. Those who were driven by emotions weren't dangerous. Rather, they were easy to goad and manipulate.
But those who were driven by ambition and who could bear all humiliation for the completion of their goal were people one should be wary of. After all, you never knew how far they were willing to go.
'Why did I underestimate this man? Even if only for a moment?'
'It is probably what this young imbecile must be thinking.' Angus secretly thought as he observed Alex.
The latter frown deepened at this moment. No matter how the mayor looked. A mayor was still a mayor. Even more so, the man who developed this city into its current state, the most influential man in this city, the strongest. How could the leader of such a family be someone to be underestimated?
'Huhuhu! I can read your face like an open book, those thoughts must be what you are thinking at the moment.' Angus hypothesized and it could be said that Alex made it easy for him to arrive at this conclusion because his face at the moment was that of confusion, like someone who had failed to achieve his goal, someone who underestimate his opponent.
Finally, back to his sense Alex he shook his head, "Angus, your words are misleading. I am still far from being the mightiest."
Even if his brain was flooded, he wouldn't call himself the mightiest.
There were simply too many unparalleled existences in the outside world even maybe inside this dungeon for him to think something so stupid.
Angus gave a fake smile and raised the glass in his hand, "Tonight is a night that will be remembered for a long time. Now that you two graced us with your presence, I think it's time to dance."
Turning toward the orchestra, he mouthed,
"Music."
New music began to fill the room once again, turning back to the couple, Angus said, "I have organized this party for you, so I hope you will appreciate it."
'After all, this might be your last.' Angus thought with a mysterious smile, the smile of someone who had everything under control.

At the same time inside another house.
From the outside, this house looks grandiose. It has been built with grey stones and has red brick decorations. Short, wide windows allow enough light to enter the home and have been added to the house in a fairly symmetrical pattern.
The house is equipped with an old-fashioned kitchen and one average bathroom, it also has a warm living room, three bedrooms, a cozy dining area, a game room, and a grand storage room.
The building is fairly rounded in shape. The house is partially surrounded by stylish gardens on two sides.
The second floor is bigger than the first, which creates several overhanging parts on several sides of the house. This floor has a very different style than the floor below. f𝑟𝑒ewe𝚋𝚗૦𝐯e𝘭.c𝗼𝓂
The roof is low and rounded and is covered with grey wood shingles. Two large chimneys sit on either side of the house. Several large windows let in plenty of light to the rooms below the roof.
The house itself is surrounded by a well-kept garden, with a grass field and flower patches at the edges of the garden.
In one of the rooms, two people, whose appearances were covered by a white and black cloak, were discussing.
"Alpha, why did you suddenly call me? I am a little busy accomplishing my task, it's better to be something worth it."
Even though his appearance was covered, his frivolous but manly voice gave the impression that he was a young man enjoying a prank.
"Sven, how is the operation in Angus's city going on?"
From the voice of the one who answered, and her voluptuous form, it was easy to guess that this person named Alpha, was a woman.
Sven, who heard the tone of her voice, answered more seriously, "The situation is stable. My agent gave me a report and she should be able to infiltrate the target soon. The other two are already on standby.''
The cloaked figure began to tap her finger on the ivory table they sat around, as she pondered for a short while, "No more games. Once she gives you the okay, you will begin the operation. Remember, no failure is allowed."
Saying so, she stood and went away. She had already begun to prepare herself for what was to come.
No matter what, no one would stop them from accomplishing their goal.
Sven, who was wondering how long he would have to wait, suddenly received a message,
[I have reached the first target. Begin the operation.]
A maniacal grin split his face at this very moment.
