Chapter 88 More and More Meetings

|||And just as expected, you are still unable to stave off your carnal desires. At least learn to have some self-restraint already.|||

\u003c\u003c\u003cHahaha, you just got roasted!\u003e\u003e\u003e

~~~Yes, you are roasted!~~~

"Will all of you please shut up?" General Chimera muttered as he left the door where Alina had entered in. "I am about to attend a very important meeting, and all of you must stay quiet so that I can focus."

|||Will it be a meeting with the other Generals? If that really is the case, then I can force myself to keep quiet. However, I am not sure if the others can do that.|||

\u003c\u003c\u003cDon’t think that lowly of me too. Even I know when to keep quiet, unlike a certain kid there.\u003e\u003e\u003e

~~~Hey! I can keep quiet too!~~~

"..."

Luckily for General Chimera, the voices inside his head stopped bickering after that.

"Time to face the music then." General Chimera muttered to himself as he approached the most imposing structure in the Monster Faction.

It was a metallic building, complete with the symbols that are even more frightening than the symbols on the door earlier.

In fact, even General Chimera was somewhat affected by the symbols on the building, with him casually averting his eyes to not see them.

General Chimera knew that doing this could be a sign of weakness for him, but his eyes really could not tolerate those terrifying symbols.

"Breathe in, breathe out." General Chimera muttered to himself as he stopped in front of the door of the building. "Let’s get this over already."

General Chimera raised one of his plump arms and used it to push the door open.

At the instant that he did this, General Chimera felt a suction force coming from the door that he opened.

He did not fight back against the force, as he let it carry his gigantic body.

"Slurp."

The gap on the door, which was only large enough to accommodate a normal-sized person, was actually able to allow General Chimera’s large body in.

The whole suction process only lasted for 5 seconds, and by the time that this time limit was up, General Chimera’s whole body was already gone.

***********

"And here comes our big boy." A mocking voice said as General Chimera found himself sitting on an ornate chair.

The chair itself was large enough to accommodate General Chimera’s size, and General Chimera was also sure that the chair was sturdy enough to carry his weight.

"Creak..." General Chimera tested the chair that he was sitting in, while he completely ignored the mocking voice from earlier.

"What happened to you, Chimy? Did the cat get your tongues?"

"Can’t you just shut up for now, General Draria?" General Chimera replied with irritation in his faces. "We are about to start a meeting now, so I prefer it if you can stay civil. You can at least do something as easy as that, right?’

"You!" General Draria’s scaly body bristled, while the wings on her back started to flap quickly, as if it was representing her anger. "Do not try to pull the ’civil’ card on me! I am an honorable dragon! I am of a noble blood, and nobility is in my blood and body!"

"If you really can act with elegance, then explain to me your crass words earlier." General Chimera replied as he gave her a smirk. "If that was elegance, then I fear that the standards of this world had been abysmal already."

"Shut the f**k up!"

"There, another crass word. When will you ever learn?"

"Can you two please stop quarreling for now?" Someone went between General Chimera and General Draria, who were both about to pounce on each other already.

The interloper looked to be extremely human, except for two tiny horns sprouting in his forehead.

His body was extremely muscular too, and General Chimera knew for a fact that these muscles pack some power that even he was wary off.

"We are starting a meeting about something important here, so I will appreciate it if you two can keep your tempers for now." The muscular monster said as he gave both General Chimera and General Draria a small grin. "You know what will happen if you do not heed my request, right?"

"Hmph, consider this as your lucky day!" General Draria said as she plopped back on her seat with her wings tucked neatly. "If General Oni did not save you, then you would have been roasted alive by me already."

"Hmph, you are the lucky one." General Chimera said as ah plopped back on his seat. "Always remember that."

The muscular guy, who was aptly named General Oni, clapped his hands as he seemed to be pleased with what he was seeing.

"Now that you two are calm, let us start this meeting already!"

"Wait, there are just 5 of us here..." General Chimera interjected as she looked all around him. "Should we really start a meeting under these conditions?"

With General Chimera’s multiple eyes, he could sense only 5 presences inside the room.

The first one was obvious his, while the other two was for General Draria and General Oni.

As for the fourth and fifth presences, they belonged respectively to a small green slime and a floating elephant seal.

"5 of us are already enough." The small slime said, interrupting General Chimera’s queries quickly. "Or perhaps, do you think that I, General Intra, will be of not enough help here?"

"That is not what he was thinking, bro." The floating elephant seal said as it slowly ascended to the roof of the room. "General Chimera just wanted to have more of us here..."

"I see, that is a valid point, General Tusk." General Intra said as he shifted his slimy body. "General Chimera, forgive me for my impertinence earlier."

"Yes, forgive my bro." General Tusk added as it quickly bobbed its head. "He was just excited to talk to you."

"I am not thinking of such things, Tusk." General Intra replied coolly, with his color changing from green to blue.

"Oh, right, I am wrong about that, hahaha..." General Tusk replied shakily as he averted his eyes away from General Intra, who seems to be glaring at him.

"Ehem." General Chimera cleared his throat, as he tried to defuse the situation. "From the looks of it, only five of us will be available for the next 6 months. Since that seems to be the case, I propose that we start our meeting now."

"Agreed." The other Generals replied as they fixed their stature.

The whole atmosphere of the room then shifted, as all the Generals were now in their serious mode.

General Chimera smiled widely upon seeing this. He always liked hardworking Generals, as their action will usually benefit the other monsters too.

"The topic of this meeting is just simple." General Chimera stated, as he made his voice sound low and serious. "We are here to decide if the time is ripe for the 5 of us to attack and kill a certain Human. If all of us decides to kill him at the end of this meeting, then we will set out immediately to kill him. But if it was the other way around, then we will not make any move."

"The way that you sounded your sentences made it sound like the Human that we are planning to kill is a dangerous one." General Oni commented as he gave General Chimera a suspicious look. "Are you sure that a meeting is needed to talk about killing him?"

"I am sure." General Chimera replied grimly, setting his eyes on everyone in the room.

"...."

"If nobody from you has any complaints, then I shall start already." General Chimera said as he gathered all the info in his mind.

He then tweaked the biological processes inside his body, as he knew that this meeting will be a long one.

General Chimera chose to not reply to Horny Chimera as he started his presentation.

********************

Alex’s breakfast with Teresa’s cousin and fiancée could be said to be somewhat rowdy and awkward.

The rowdiness came from the female cousin, who smothered Alex with question about his ’captivity’.

"Teresa, were the tentacles scary? My friend told me before that tentacles can be sometimes sexy too!"

"....."

From what Alex can remember, the name of Teresa’s cousin was Alice, which can be said to be fitting for her.

Just like Teresa, Alice also had long blonde hair trailing on her back, and blue eyes that seemed to radiate with intensity.

Alice however looked to be extremely mischievous, as evidenced by the impish smile that she wore.

"....."

Just sitting beside Alice was Teresa’s fiancée, and he was the one exuding out the awkward feeling.

If Alex’s memories were right, the name of Teresa’s fiancée was Simon, and unlike all the people in the room, his appearance was almost their opposite.

Short black hair, and slight tanned skin.

These are the superficial traits that Simon have, which managed to accentuate his muscles and face.

Alex was sure that Simon was the awkward one, as throughout the whole breakfast, all the Simon did was to ask Alex some light questions.

"Were you bit?"

"No."

"Were you hurt?"

"No."

"Were you thrown away?"

"No."

"..."

"..."

This kind of talk continued until everyone finished the food on the table.

"...."

At the end of their breakfast, Alex could see the dissatisfaction on Sylvester Glaivewood’s face, as if the whole breakfast had been a massive failure.

Upon seeing this look, Alex realized that something was about to happen, and that he will be powerless to stop it.

"Teresa..." The Divine Knight said as he looked at Alex. "Even if you were able to demonstrate to me earlier that you have regained your power, it is still not good to think that you are safe. You will still have go to the Mage Division to have your body checked."

The Divine Knight then looked at Alice and Simon, before Alex could say anything. "Simon and Alice, you will join Teresa to the Mage Division. Don’t worry about the permit to enter. I will make sure that they will allow you to enter."

"Yes! I will get to see some cool Mages!" Alice said as she almost jumped from her seat.

Simon did not say anything in reply, as he only gave a slight nod to the Divine Knight.

"Sigh." Alex knew that if he still complained about going to the Mage Division, Sylvester Glaivewood will surely feel suspicious again.

"Hmph, with my Fairy Dust, I am sure that I will not be discovered!" Alex thought smugly to himself as he gave the Divine Knight a nod.

"Since that is what you want Father, then I shall oblige with it."

"Good." The Divine Knight replied as a wide smile covered his face. "Set out as early as possible so that you can finish early too."

"I will take note of that, Father."

*****************

"Teresa, don’t walk that slowly! We are going to be late!" Alice said, forcing Alex to let out another sigh. "Come on Teresa, I want to see the cool Mages already!"

"Alice, you know that we are visiting the Mage Division for my condition, right?" Alex replied helplessly as he looked at Teresa’s female cousin. "If you want to sightsee, we will do that later."

"But-"

"No buts, Alice." Simon said, interrupting Alice from whatever she was about to say. "Let’s get on with this already."

"Aw..."

"Simon, it must be tiring for you to deal with my cousin when I was gone." Alex said to Simon, who looked back at Alex with his dark eyes. "I apologize for the hardships that she made you experience."

"Oh its fine." Simon said as he waved his hands dismissively. "I am your fiancée, so its part of my responsibility is to entertain your relatives."

"You know that hearing the word fiancée just makes me want to strangle you." Alex said to Simon as he gave him a baleful look. "There is no way that I will agree to such convoluted agreement."

"Yeah, I know." Simon replied helplessly as his arms dangled from his side. "You know that even I do not like this engagement too."

"Of course you won’t." Alex said as he shook his head wryly. "You like guys, after all."

"Ugh, please do not say that out loud here." Simon said, as he looked around him with panic. "My father will murder me if he hears you saying that!"

"You know, the longer that you keep this a secret, the more hurt you and I will be." Alex commented drily as he looked at the jolly Alice and the downcast Simon. "The earlier that you say it, the better it will be."

"Teresa, I know that I should do that. But I cannot just approach my father and say, ’Hey Father, do you know that your extremely handsome and muscular son likes other guys?’ He will surely leave me in a vegetative state if I say that!" Simon hissed back as he glowered at Alex.

"Fine, fine." Alex replied without enthusiasm as he and Simon caught up with Alice. "Let’s finish our errand here in the Mage Division, and then we will talk about our problems later."

"Ok..." Simon replied quietly, as he and Alex struggled to catch up with Alice.

"Hah! You two are slowpokes!"

"....."
