Chapter 241: Surrounded

In the cemetery.

This graveyard was specially made for nobles and only the people of higher statutes would have their graves here.

At the far corner of the graveyard, a place where the fallen nobles' tombs were present.

It was a rainy day and the droplets of rain splattered everywhere washing away dust and dirt.

Despite the heavy rain, a woman walked through the graves. Her hair was drenched in rainwater as she tiptoed through the place.

The graveyard was empty and except for the sound of the clattering of rain, the entire place was shrouded with silence.

A strong wind blew and brushed past her as she strode towards the two graves, she kneeled and put two bouquets containing yellow flowers

"Father, mother. Your daughter Christina is here to visit you."

"Please don't be angry, thinking that your unfilial daughter forgot about you."

"I had left Zenith and was in Wright for a year. There have been a few troubles in my way but now everything seems to be fine."

"Please don't worry about me. Although my life is not good and my path is not full of roses, it's also not bad."Christina trembled a little and small drops of tear trickled from her cheeks.

"After your death, I have been feeling hollow from inside and thought that I would become a lifeless doll without any emotions. I even thought of killing myself after taking revenge. I know, you might be angry hearing my words but that's what I thought before meeting him."

"I feel that I may not be as unlucky as I thought of myself. I don't know about the future but presently my life isn't that colourless. Although I don't know how my life will be in future, I promise that I will at least not throw away my life."

"Father, Mother! Alex had recovered. He had great potential and seemed to be a good man. Though he may have a bit of bandit and rogue nature still he seemed to be a cultured individual."

"We both should have visited here but I wasn't able to stop myself and come here to see you first ." Christina wiped her tears and started to smile.

"All the people under us have been taken care of. You don't need to worry about them. None of them suffers any grievances after you have gone to heaven."

At the same time, she heard the faint sound of footsteps and she stopped her talk and looked back.

"Huhh"

"Alex"

Alex with a wooden umbrella in his hand walked toward the tomb and holding it over Christina, he knelt beside her.

"Father, mother, your worthless son-in-law is here to visit you," Alex muttered and took out two bouquets placing them before two graves.

"I returned recently and heard that you have come here. So, I thought I should also come to pay my respect." Alex spoke and bowed his hand.

Christina's heart warmed a little seeing Alex who turned towards her to cast a smile.

"Christina had gone through many hard times and there may be more that awaits her. I promise to take care of her throughout all wools and woes."

"So, please give us your blessing." Alex moved his hand and held Christina's brittle hands filled with callus.

A gentle glow enveloped her and the scars on her face faded as if they never were in the first place.

Christina didn't say much but gave a gentle smile which warmed Alex's heart, almost melting it.

Christina nodded and started to talk about other things letting out all her pains.

Alex just sat silently and watched her talking a lot more than usual.

'It's good to let out your heart's content once in a while.'

Before departing, Alex spoke respectfully"Father and mother, I will take good care of her. Please keep a watch over us."

'This time there was no one to threaten me.'

Alex muttered inwardly and was about to turn around when a huge bolt of lightning flashed by and fell quite far from the graveyard exploding the ground into tatters.

BOOM!

Alex's eyeball widened and he looked up at the sky with horror.

'I just said it casually. Are they watching over us?'

Alex started to sweat profusely wondering if he might be struck by lightning.

"Christina, let's go," Alex muttered, swallowing his saliva.

'I hope it's just a coincidence.'

The rain seemed to be getting heavier and heavier.

Alex's walked out of the graveyard with Christina and suddenly felt something was amiss, his expression was suddenly distorted and a murderous glint flashed in his eyes.

Christina who walked under the umbrella and standing beside the umbrella glanced around.

He could see two glimmers of light nearby which seemed to come from magic casters who were preparing to cast the spells.

"We seemed to be surrounded," Christina asked with a frown.

"I don't think it's we, rather it's you."

"I noticed them on the way watching you from afar."

"They seem to come for you." Alex inferred while appraising the incoming assailants with a grave look.

All of them were at Epic rank.

"They even brought mages," Christina muttered with a weary expression.

"But all of them seemed to know only elementary magic."

That was the only silver lining for them in this situation, if they had to face too many intermediate mages, they would be in an extremely dire situation now.

There was none above Epic rank and this was what confused Alex.

If they wanted them dead, they should have sent a stronger powerhouse which would kill them easily and swiftly instead of sending them to waste time.

'Either that other party was overly confident or these were all waste and cannon fodder. The other party might want to test how deep the water is before making his real move.'Alex, I feared.

Alex and Christina just walked through the road casually instead of going to the carriage.

There was only one carriage brought by Christina and Alex flew here as soon as possible.

He had already asked the coachman to retreat and inform his groups about these people.

The road was empty and there was no one to witness the upcoming battle making it an excellent place for an assassination incident.

Alex didn't dare to raise his chin and hiding under the umbrella just rolled his eyes.

The group was still observing them and didn't make a move on them.

Alex held Christina's hand and nodded her head.

Both of them had already understood tactics.

Since the other party was not making the move, they would do that for them.

Christina would take care of the rear while he would deal with the vanguard.

Alex suddenly let go of his umbrella and allowed it to clatter to the ground. At the same, his gaze locked on the man hiding behind the tree.

He sprang into action shooting forward the man like an arrow.

Alex's mind was already in full combat mode and was already calculating all kinds of scenarios and their solutions that he might encounter here.

The man just saw a faint blur of images and his heart thumped wildly in his chest. There was a hint of fear in his eyes as he wasn't able to read the enemy's moves and he barely pulled out his sword.
