He jumped back from the body summoning his whip. A huge green hand came through the portal, picked up the body, and went back into the portal.

Alaric stood there confused. Just what the hell was happening?

( SYSTEM NOTIFICATION)

( You have become enemies with the goblins)

Looking at the notification Alaric was surprised.

" Just for killing this goblin?" He said out loud the question directed to the system.

( You killed the child of a royal)

" Why the fuck would a royal be doing here in the first place!"

The system didn't answer him, he was left to wonder by himself. He knew he couldn't even ask anyone about this unless he wanted to reveal he had a system.

Alaric took one look around the cave and walked to the place he had fallen through. He looked up but all he could see was darkness. He looked around, trying to find a place he could climb up from, but nothing.

It seems he had to physically climb up the hole. He wasn't going to do that payless work.

He took out the teleporter Jessica had given him and tore it apart. A white light enveloped him blinding him.

He opened his eyes and found himself at the entrance of the upper cave. In front of him were piles of spiritual stones clearly mined by Jessica.

He looked around but he couldn't see her anywhere. He climbed on top of one of the poles and looked around again but still nothing.

" Jessica," he shouted her name.

" I'm here," a purple head peeked from one of the smaller tunnels searching for him.

He jumped off the pile and landed behind her.

" What are you even doing there. You've already mined more than a ton."

She wiped her hand on her cheek, smearing dark on it. She looked at him with a huge smile on her face.

" This is my pocket money, I can spend on you however I like without my brother complaining about it. I need a lot," Jezebel said her shining eyes looking at him.

Alaric chuckled at the absurd reason.

" Okay, I'll help you spend it as much as you want. Tell me where you want me to mine I'll help you."

Her smile widened after hearing that. She nodded and pointed at the tunnel next to hers.

" I've mined most of them that's the only one remaining."

Alaric nodded and summoned his whip. To mine spiritual stones, one needed to inject their own mana into the mine. This will loosen its hold on the walls.

Then they had to hit the next second after injecting mana before the stone sticks back to the ground. It requires precision and first reflex to get them out.

Spiritual stones are very hard, and they won't break after being hit. They eventually disintegrate into dust when the mana is depleted.

Researchers tried to make weapons using them, but they absorbed too much mana from the user just to prevent them from breaking apart after their initial mana had been used.

After a few trials and errors, Alaric managed to get the hang of mining, and they finished mining in no time.

Alaric looked at the pile in front of them and turned to Jessica.

" So how are you going to take this much?"

" My storage rings I have four of them on me, for emergencies."

" Seriously, why would you carry so many?"

" For situations like this. That's what my grandpa said," she said proudly. Alaric chuckled softly. Her grandpa was really something.

She held the four rings in front of the pile, and the pile started to reduce fast.

" Shall we go now?" Alaric asked her after she finished storing the spiritual stones.

She nodded

He broke the dungeon stone and the portal appeared. With one last glance, he took Jezebel's arm and pulled her into the portal.

Alaric didn't even notice they were out, he was too lost in thought to care about what was happening.

" Alaric, let's go," he felt Jezebel pull his arm looking at him in confusion.

" Sorry, got lost there."

They cleared themselves and walked to Jezebel's car. They had driven her car to the dungeon after her insistence.

" Where are you going from here?" Alaric asked her while looking out at the towering buildings.

" To see grandpa, I have to tell him about the mining."

" Can you drop me off at the cafe near the intersection , I'll order a cab from there."

He didn't receive an answer. He turned to see Jezebel crying silently.

" Pull over," he commanded.

She pulled into the nearest parking lot before she started to cry.

What had he done this time, Alaric thought as he opened his seat belt and leaned over to open hers.

He pulled her into his lap while patting his back.

" Stop crying okay, dear. I'm wrong, whatever I've done, you can punish me however you want," he tried to comfort her.

He knew he was definitely the problem, but he didn't want to jump to a conclusion, the script might just flip at any moment.

" Do you not want me anymore?" He asked between her tears.

" What! Where did you get that. It's absolutely impossible. I will always want you as long as you can take me."

" But you haven't kissed me even once since we met, and you wanted to leave just like that."

Oh shit, he's been so lost in thought after the dungeon that it kind of slipped from his mind a little. But he wouldn't have left her just like that.

" I wasn't.. I'm sorry if I made you feel that way. I wasn't going to leave you I wanted to talk to you at the parking lot at the cafe. Since you're going to visit your grandpa, I thought it would be best to have some restraint."

She nodded as her sobs calmed down.

He leaned over and kissed her lips, the tip of her nose, both her eyes, and her cheeks. She giggled while he peppered her with kisses.

" I'm sorry okay, forgive me please."

" Okay, I forgive you."

" Ooh, I have something for you. I was going to give it to you when we stopped, but here."

He took out the invitation and showed it to her. He also explained the confidentiality contract and the conditions.

Her face bloomed into a smile as she signed the contract.

Alaric had come up with those three. They were the first women he slept with and he felt like he could trust them during the opening. And all of them had massive networks.

" Will there be others?" She asked hesitantly.

Alaric nodded.

" There will be two others. I've slept with all of them. If it's a deal breaker, I can void the contract. You don't have to force yourself."

She shook her head.

" No, I just wanted to know."

Alaric could feel her hesitation, but there was nothing he could do about it. She just needed to process her emotions and come to terms with being together with him.

" How has school been?" He asked changing the subject.

She smiled her eyes becoming brighter.

" I made new friends, you remember the girl I was with right. The one with orange hair?" She said her excitement was visible.

Alaric nodded. Of course he does, he's slept with her.

" She helped me upgrade my wardrobe. She said the clothes I was wearing made me look like an old woman so she decided to help me find clothes that were comfortable but still classy. That's what she said not me."

Alaric felt like thanking Samantha. Despite Jezebel being a ten out of ten body-wise and looks-wise. Her sense of style was basically zero. But he still found her cute, so it didn't bother him much.

She must be getting a lot of male attention now, he thought to himself.

" I made new friends, actually, but we don't hang out as much as with Samantha. Do you know our families live in the same neighborhood? I was actually surprised when she invited me to her home. "

" Really, what a happy coincidence then."

" Right. My brother has been complaining lately about my dressing style, saying I expose too much, and my other style was better. My parents love my new look also. How about you? what do you think?"

" You look stunning in any clothing choice. You'll still be beautiful even if you wore a sack."

She chuckled at that and hugged him pulling him to her breasts. Best way to suffocate, Alaric thought to himself while enjoying the softness.

" Thanks."

" I'm glad you're enjoying your time at school and making new friends," he mumbled softly.

" Did you say something?"

" No, I'm looking forward to you coming."

" I won't miss it."

Alaric took her lips and kissed pushing his tongue into her mouth while his hands caressed her body softly.

He released her and looked at her his breath coming out hard.

" I really want to sleep with you," he mumbled softly.

" Why can't you?"

" Because.."

A knock came to the window.

" Because of that."
