12 Night Shade Squad.

"So you say your current strength is a result of your master training."

"Where is your master?"

"He was dead."

Julius and Ethan were sat in the hall, and Julius started asking questions.

"How do you prove all of this was true?"

Of course, he knows Julius will not accept this explanation.

"You can ask Black Bull leader Yami Sukehiro."

"What do you mean?"

"My master told me he fought with Yami."

"I remember Yami coming to the squad with wounds in the past."

"William also informed me that Yami had been beaten by someone."

"At the time, it was my master who dueled with Yami."

Julius also nodded when he heard that.

"Alex, whose squad do you want to join?"

"Of course, it'd be my father's squad."

Ethan smiled as he heard. Julius, too, smiled. Julius also left after a short period.

Alex was not scared to show Julius his combat skills. He should be wary of Lucius Zogratis for the time being. Before handing over his body to Julius, Lucius made predictions regarding the outcome of his plan. Lucius wouldn't notice him for a while as long as he didn't reveal his combat skills.

"What happened, sister?"

"That kid was a monster."

Fuegoleon was taken aback.

"That kid's strength is comparable to mine."

"Crimson Lion must work hard or it will be used as a stepping stone by the Nightshade squad."

"I'm going to train; don't bother me."

"Is he that powerful?" Fuegoleon was absorbed in thinking.

The conflict between Alex and Mereoleona was also widely discussed throughout the kingdom. Alex rose to prominence overnight. Ethan also revealed that Alex would be joining the Nightshade squad.

The Nightshade squad is made up of 20 people, all of whom are commoners or peasants. The majority of Nightshade missions concentrated on the common realm and the Forsaken realm.

"Blue Rose Captain came to meet you, young master."

"Oh..."

Alex was taken aback when he heard this. Lily told him that every year a girl would come to the church to meet him, and Alex knew who it was.

"Hello, Charlotte."

Alex looked at Charlotte, who was standing in the tree's shadow. She was very stunning.

Charlotte, too, reddened as she remembered what happened in the past. She had no idea why she was able to react in this manner.

"That...how have you been all these years?" Charlotte inquired slyly.

"You came to ask this." Alex gave a sly grin.

"That...why did you kiss me at that time?"

Alex grinned and spoke after listening.

"Because you are lovely and I am greedy for your body," Alex said.

"Anyway, why are you here?"

She spoke after calming down her feelings.

"I just came to check because I heard you fought with Mereoleona."

"Are you worried about me?"

"No," she said, embarrassed.

"I'm leaving."

"wait."

Alex took a box and gave it to Charlotte.

"What is this?"

"It's a gift for my little girlfriend."

"I am not your girlfriend."

Alex smiled and handed her the box. Charlotte took the box and opened it. She noticed a blue pendant resting peacefully in the package.

"It's beautiful," she said as she touched it.

"Now, where is my present?" Charlotte regained her composure and turned to face Alex. Alex also smirked.

"Close your eyes," Charlotte said softly. When Alex closed his eyes, he felt Charlotte's face in front of him. How could Alex pass up this opportunity when sweet lips contacted his lips? He opened his eyes and kissed her.

"hmm....hmm..."

After some time, they parted ways, and Charlotte fled. Charlotte heard Alex's voice before leaving.

"Wearing the pendant all the time will minimize your curse."

Alex also left the area in the direction of the city. He kissed Charlotte in the past mostly to see the magical effects of his body.

If his body fluids come into contact with females, their liking for him will grow. Charlotte is cursed, and as a result, his favorability is quite high.

Alex can now control his body completely and emit a nice aura that makes women fall passionately in obsession with him. Unfortunately, there was no succubus in this realm, otherwise, he would have learned all of its talents.

****************************

A year passed in an instant, and Night Shade was enhanced as a result of Alex's involvement. It is now ranked as the second-strongest squad, with Golden Dawn in the lead.

Alex also looted the dungeon where Wind Elf was kept. With his strength, he discovered the dungeon and removed all treasures, leaving only the wind elf scroll and sword. Of course, in the dungeon, he had already set up illusion formation.

He was heading to Captial today to attend the king's birthday party. Many aristocrats are at odds with the Nightshade family and team. After all a squad made up of peasants was greater than the other two royal family squads. The king was also dissatisfied, but Alex didn't care.

Alex also became the Squad's vice-captain in a year. His father was unable to attend the celebration, so he went to his father's place.

He gazed at the majestic structures; only three royal families resided there. Kira's house, Silva's house, and Vermillion's house. Augustus Kira Clover XIII is the current king.

Alex has no interest in these events, but Julius has invited him to meet him, and more importantly, he wants to meet future characters. He noticed some nobility conversing with others in the palace. He was recognized by someone.

"Wait, is that Alex Nightshade?"

"I heard he was promoted to vice-captain in a year."

"Perhaps his father helped him."

"Idiot, haven't you heard that he was evenly matched with the Vermillion family lioness?"

"Hiss....."

There was a lot of debate regarding him. Alex arrived and immediately began eating. He is unconcerned about what others think.

"Kid, have we met before?"

When Alex looked around, he noticed the Black Bull team robe. Alex recognized Yami Sukehiro right away.
