After about fifteen minutes, Alvin returned to the hall in a blue hoodie with Blacky on his shoulder.
His shoulder-length hair was tied behind him in a ponytail, and coupled with his chiselled face, he appeared quite eye-catching at this moment.
"Well, since you are here..." "Ring..." "Ring..." Just as Magnus opened his mouth to say something, the smartwatch on his wrist rang. After looking at it, Magnus gave a small smile and said, "We will talk later, Julian is here..."
Both Zerra and Jane tensed up involuntarily when they heard this name. Magnus gave a knowing look to Jane and nodded reassuringly at her. Jane calmed down after seeing this.
Just then, one of the middle-aged guards brought an old man with purple eyes like Alvin towards them. Alvin glanced at the old man and ignored him as he had no idea who this person was.
But the old man kept his eyes on Alvin intensely as though he was trying to figure something out. Suddenly, as if he thought of something, his expression changed.
Swiftly, he approached Alvin and held the collar of his hoodie with killing intent in his eyes."You are not Alin, you are Dot... I-Dot. According to our reports, you died at the hands of a mercenary group who took the job of wiping you out. I Dot, why are you alive in front of me?"
Alvin frowned. "I don't know what you are talking about..." He attempted to push the man away, but he could not even shake the old man's hand, which felt like iron pincers.
"Calm down, Julian. Let's talk everything out..." Suddenly, a muscular arm held Julian's arm, and the old man involuntarily loosened his grip under the strong hold of Magnus.
Alvin indifferently straightened his hoodie as he calmly sized up the old man in front of him.
"Magnus, you have no idea who he is," Julian said gravely.
"He is a blood clone of the current Emperor of Nyx Empire, so yeah, we already know. Even though he looks like Alin, he is not him..." Magnus said calmly.
"Grandpa, please calm down..." Jane also spoke up when she saw the situation getting out of hand.
"Shut up. When did I allow..." Midway through his scolding, Julian noticed Jane's purple eyes and the white snake on her shoulder.
Turning his head to Alvin, he saw an identical-looking black snake on his shoulder as well.
"You summoned your Yin Yang Dragon Spirit?" Julian asked calmly in an icy tone.
Jane lowered her head. Zerra stepped forward and shielded Jane behind her,
"Jane, answer my question," Julian asked in an even louder voice.
"Y... yes... Grandfather..." Jane replied, stuttering.
"With whom?" Julian asked through gritted teeth. The deadly aura coming from his body alone made Jane and Zerra shiver like two helpless boats in the middle of a violent sea.
"It's with me..." Suddenly, Alvin's calm voice came from the side. He did not appear to be affected by the old man's aura at all.
"Bastard..." Julian cursed and pointed his finger at Alvin. Suddenly, a fist-sized fireball with an intense temperature flew toward Alvin.
Boom...
But before it could touch him, a black hole appeared before Alvin and swallowed the fireball as though it was nothing special.
"One more time, and I will break your legs..." Magnus said lazily from the side. It was his spell that saved Alvin's life just now. Otherwise, with the attack of a fourth-rank spell, his body would have been torn to pieces.
"He is just a blood clone. Is it worth it to go against me for his sake?" Julian asked coldly as he stared at Magnus.
Magnus yawned lazily. "The thing is, you are not important enough for me to even consider."
Julian squinted his eyes. "I won't allow the fusion of their spirits. Break his sea of consciousness and cancel the fusion."
Magnus shook his head. "No, I won't allow the fusion to be cancelled."
"Magnus... do you really know what his identity and background is?" Julian asked coldly.
Magnus nodded. "His name is Alvin. As I told you, he is a blood clone. I lost him when he was just born. He was living with his adopted big sister until now..."
"Bullshit..." Julian interrupted Magnus halfway. "I don't know whether he is a blood clone or not, but his name is I-Dot, and he is one of the most brutal criminals the history of Celestial Alliance has ever seen."
The room fell silent when they heard this.
Julian continued, "He killed two hundred and twenty-three poor beggars, including small kids and women, at the age of just nine to satisfy his thirst for massacre. This incident brought our attention to Heavenly Wood City, and we sent many of our best officers to kill this crazy psycho."
"But none of them ever came back. Later, from the video recordings we recovered from a hidden camera of one of our guards, we witnessed the brutal sight of his death at this bastard's hands vividly. After that, we posted a bounty mission on his head and hired many mercenaries to hunt him down."
"According to our intel, one group called the Eagles submitted his head as proof to the Adventurers Guild, and we confirmed his death. But it seems like someone protected him behind the scenes. "Julian said the last line meaningfully as he glanced at Magnus.
But Magnus and the two women were stunned after hearing Julian's part of the story. All of them looked at Alvin, who was calmly standing there as though what Julian was saying had nothing to do with him.
In their eyes, Alvin, who was like an open book just a moment ago, now appeared like an unsolvable mystery.
