.....................

"W-wow! Big Brother, how did you do that?!?!"

Just as Alex was returning to his seat, Lily, who had been stunned for a while since Alex vanished from her sight even though she was looking at him, exclaimed as she ran toward him.

Alex smiled as he saw Lily who was now standing in front of him with stars in her eyes.

'This cunning little brat…'

He knew what she was trying to do, she was trying to make him talk about it, after all, unlike the first time they met, by now, she knew almost everything about raiders.

Lily even knew how strong which rank could be, but she never heard of any raiders being able to do what Alex did, so she wanted to know if it was a skill or something else.

Lily knew that Alex would answer her curiosity, she had this feeling, so she decided to ask it. She had also heard her dad asking the same question, only to get a mysterious smile from Alex every time.

So, she wanted to show him that she could do what he was never able to do.

Lily wanted to show that she was better than him, she was still a bit salty about Max taking the phone away at that time, after all.

Alex could tell what Lily was doing, and so could Max.

But Max didn't feel bad, rather he was praising Lily.

'Good job, cupcake!'

He also knew that Alex would answer Lily, after all, Alex had never said no to her, yet.

"Sorry Lily, but to get this answer, you must grow stronger…."

Alex spoke with a fake sad expression as he patted Lily's head, but his answer caused Max to sigh inwardly while Grace just shook her head at all of this.

Luna who was now sitting on one of the sofas in the hall with the four girls standing behind her, also sighed.

Not like she expected an answer from Alex in the first place, but she still had a bit of hope.

"Grow stronger?"

Lily tilted her head.

She dropped the question after she saw the sad and apologetic expression on Alex's face.

Lily didn't like that expression, even if it was just fake.

"Yes, tell your father to help you grow stronger, he will be able to help you."

Alex then dumped all of the incoming questions and requests that Lily was going to present over to Max.

'What?!'

Max yelled inwardly just after Alex's words fell, the time slowed down for him, he could see in slow motion as Lily turned toward him.

He could see her expression morphing from the curious one to the abandoned puppy expression.

Max could see every change in her expression in slow motion, he could see how Lily controlled her expression to such precision that even her tears just stayed in her eyes, enough to make her eyes look like she was about to cry, but not a drop of tear fell.

'Sigh….'

Max knew at that moment that he now had to help his daughter get stronger.

'It's your fault!'

He glared at Alex while gritting his teeth.

'Do I look like I care?'

Alex just shrugged his shoulders and moved to where he was sitting.

"Ann, come and take a seat."

Alex spoke as he had the seat on his left side empty since Lily was now sitting on Max's lap with her puppy eyes expression.

"Un."

Ann nodded her head and gracefully sat beside Alex.

"Can you get me 4 more copies of that contract?"

Alex then questioned Max, and although annoyed at Alex for giving Lily the idea of growing stronger, Max still nodded in acknowledgment.

Max and Alex, both annoy each other a lot, that's just how they are, though it's only Max who finds himself getting more annoyed in the end, but that's all in between them.

When it involves someone other than them, then they would become like professional partners in business.

Luna looked at all of this curiously, she could already tell that Alex and Max's family were much closer than it seemed on the outside, they didn't seem like 'just acquainted' type of friends to her.

Then she saw 4 sheets with some things written over it come out of Max's storage ring.

In reality, however, Max created them just now, but since he just had to make copies of the last one, it didn't take time.

"Here."

Max passed the contracts to Alex.

"Thank you."

Alex nodded his head to Max and Max nodded back.

"Don't mention it, we are already in your debt."

These words were Max's heartfelt words, after all, he really was grateful to Alex for many things.

Alex just smiled at it and didn't say anything.

Then he looked at Lily and muttered inwardly.

'You should thank your daughter.'

The reason for their good relationship and the reason that Max and Grace could get so close to Alex and his group was all because of her.

If Lily was not in the picture, then all Alex would've done was save Grace to complete the quest, and then kill them after he had claimed the reward.

Why kill? Because Max's ability was quite useful and he could use it for himself.

If Lily was not someone who could be an important person to him in one of his past lives, then Alex would've never even tried to get close to them.

But well, Lily was there, and they were good friends now, so nothing else mattered.

"Here, you can read it, and then sign it.

Only after all five of you sign this contract can you stay here."

Alex passed the contracts to Luna before he took out one from his storage ring and passed that one as well.

The contract that Max made for Luna was already in Alex's hand as Max had already provided him with it, so he took it out of the storage ring.

"I just need to sign a paper contract??"

Luna asked in confusion.

'Who signs a paper contract these days??'

Luna felt like there was something else hidden, but she didn't care much since Alex had already said what she had to do to stay here.

Her curiosity still made her ask that question, though.

"Yes, you can take your time to read it, if you want to."

Alex nodded and then commented, but Luna just shook her head.

"It's fine."

She took one of the contracts and then passed the others to the four girls behind.

"Would fingerprint do? They are illiterate."

Luna asked Alex since fingerprints could be used as a sign as well.

"Yes."

Alex nodded his head.

'The second party just needs to express their acceptance for the contract to get activated.'

This was how Max's ability worked, so it didn't matter how they signed, or even if they gave the wrong sign, they just had to agree to it.

"All right," Luna nodded her head and then she spoke to the girls behind her.

"Put your fingerprints on the contract."

Luna spoke and the girls went ahead to do as she told while Luna also took out a pen and started signing the contract.

'Oh?'

Her actions, however, made everyone in the room raise their brows in surprise.
