Earth, the next day

    After his conversation with Lucas about his plans for the future, Alex returned home to explain his situation to his family.

    Naturally, the only thing they could offer him were their support and words of advice.

    The only thing left to do before he set off was to ensure his family was protected while he was away.

    He wasn''t willing to take chances and while the security detail only had Class A as the strongest, they should be enough to buy time for his return.

    Alex made it clear to them to report anything they felt they couldn''t handle and even if they could, they were to send him a notice as soon as possible. It was overkill, but one can never be too careful.

    "Be safe out there, okay?" Sarah kissed Alex''s forehead before stepping back.

    "Of course, Ma," Alex replied. He may be strong, but he wouldn''t dismiss his mother''s words. Turning to Ross on the side, he said. "I leave them in your care."

    "Mm." Ross nodded with a resolute expression.

    Alex turned back to everyone. "I won''t take long and will be back before you know it." He assured the nth time before stepping away while everyone watched him exit the building.

    "Like he said," William stated and turned to face everyone. "He''ll be back before we know it. I don''t want to see anyone looking dejected."

    They could only nod with stiff smiles.

    Outside, Alex met with Julia as she wanted to share a moment with him. Alex brought her in for a hug, remaining in place for several seconds before touching foreheads in an affectionate gesture.

    "Promise me you''ll come back," Julia murmured. "I can''t bear to lose you again."

    "I promise," Alex said, swallowing hard. He caressed her face with his thumb before connecting his lips with hers. Their kiss was deep and expressed all the emotions they carried in their hearts.

    Finally, Alex pulled back. "I have to go now."

    "To your seats, people. We have a boy to grind."

    .......

    "I have arrived."

    Alex stated the moment he unfused from space, taking the two hunters by surprise. They did not sense his presence at all!

    One second, they were looking around in all seriousness, then the next, Alex just appeared—almost like a ghost. They couldn''t help but float back a bit.

    Alex ignored their state of mind as he waited for them to lead him to where he needed to go. He looked at the planet and couldn''t help but be impressed.

    ''No wonder it''s called Titan.'' Alex thought silently.

    He wanted to spread his senses to investigate the planet, but it might be seen as an act of disregard. His observation was cut short when his name was called.

    "Please follow us," Charlotte gestured after they regained their composure. They flew ahead with Alex right behind them, breaking through the atmosphere and arriving before the ginormous building.

    They led Alex inside and towards the guest area where a room was prepared. "You can go ahead and change." Evelyn sad.

    "We''ll come for you when the time is right."

    "Thank you," Alex acknowledged and entered the room. He didn''t waste time checking out the room. Though spacious and luxurious looking, he didn''t care for it.

    Approaching the bed, Alex put away his armour and took out his suit—a black suit with a white shirt, no tie included.

    He turned to face the mirror, nodding in satisfaction. And as he stared at himself, he recalled the pieces of advice he was given.

    ''Even so, it will all depend on how they act.'' He resolved with a serious look. ''Respect and tolerance go both ways.''

    Sometime later, Alex turned his head to the door and appeared behind it. He opened it before Charlotte could even knock. Your next chapter is on My Virtual Library Empire

    "It''s time." She said seriously and stepped away from the door, making way for Alex to step out. With both hunters flanking his sides, they guided Alex towards the main conference hall.
