Chapter 56 Raven Family's Dinner Invitation
Alex is sitting inside a high-class black car with a thoughtful look on his face.
"Sigh, is it because they learned that it was actually a dragon egg and not just a random stone?" Alex muttered to himself.
A few moments ago, when Kris suddenly called, she just said that she and her family wanted to talk to him regarding the reward he chose.
After that, Kris told him that she will be sending a car to pick him up before hanging up.
And that's why he's now sitting here, contemplating the reason for all of this.
Sighing for the second time, Alex said, "Forget it, it's no use thinking of it now. I'll just see what this is all about when I got there."
Saying that, Alex leaned his head on the backseat and closed his eyes for a while.
30 minutes later, the car stopped the the driver said, "Mr. Alex, we have arrived."
Opening his eyes, Alex nodded to the driver before stepping out of the car.
When Alex finally saw his surroundings, he once again saw just how wealthy Kris' family, the Raven Family truly is.
"That girl, she's really a child of a rich family, huh." Alex muttered.
Just as he stepped out of the car, Kris and a few others also came out of the house to see Alex.
"Alex!"
Kris called out.
Alex walked towards them and smiled at her, "Hey, Kris."
Then he turned his eyes to Rolando beside Kris and politely greeted.
"Good evening, Mr. Rolando."
When Rolando heard that, he laughed a little and said, "Stop calling me mister, Alex."
"Since you're a friend of my daughter, it's just normal for you to call me uncle so do that from now on."
Alex showed a reserved smile and replied, "Okay, uncle."
Rolando laughed heartily after hearing Alex call him uncle.
"Good, good!"
"Ah, by the way, this is my father, Jonathan Raven."
Finally, Rolando introduced Jonathan to Alex.
When Alex first saw Jonathan, he immediately felt the immense power contained in that old body of his.
So he immediately knows that this old man in front of him is actually a very strong player.
Knowing that, Alex respectfully greeted Jonathan, "Good evening, sir!"
Seeing his attitude, Jonathan nodded and smiled in satisfaction.
"Hoho, good kid. Well, let's stop standing here and go inside so we can talk."
Saying that, Jonathan was the first to go inside.
Rolando smiled at Alex and invited him in, "Alex, let's go."
Alex nodded, "Okay, uncle."
With that, Rolando went ahead and caught up with his father.
Now, there's only Kris and Alex left here.
Alex turned his eyes back to Kris and asked, "So, Kris, what is this actually all about? If you don't mind, please tell me."
Kris sighed, "It's not that I can't tell you but, you'll know about it later anyway. For now, let's go inside first."
Then Kris grabbed Alex's hand and pulled him inside the house.
With no other choice, Alex can only follow Kris obediently.
Kris took Alex to the dining room where Rolando, Jonathan, and the other members of the family were already seated.
When Jonathan saw the two of them coming in, he immediately saw the hands of the two holding each other and smiled.
'It seems like my granddaughter is really close with this kid, huh.' he silently thought.
Of course, he's not the only one who thought of that but also Rolando, his wife Sheila, and his siblings, Glen and Rosa.
A light flashed in each of their eyes when they saw the two coming in.
As if noticing that, Kris paused and hurriedly let go of Alex's hands before running to her seat.
Rolando looked at Alex and said, "Alex, come and take a seat."
"We're about to have dinner. You shouldn't have your dinner yet, right?"
Alex nodded, "Yes, I haven't eaten yet, uncle."
"Then go on and take a seat beside Kris."
Alex didn't bother declining their offer and sat down on the only empty seat beside Kris."
It's them who invited him to come to their house anyway when he just came back from an eventful day in the Alter Dimension.
You have to know, Alex didn't eat lunch even after going out hunting for almost the whole day.
Because of that, he's now tired and also hungry.
After Alex sat down, Jonathan told the maids to start putting the dishes on the table.
In an orderly manner, those maids who are obviously trained well placed food after food on the table.
Alex saw a lot of food being brought in and some of them are food that are usually only eaten when there's occasion such as lechon.
Anyway, after all the food was brought in, Jonathan picked up his spoon and fork and said, "Let's start eating."
With his words, everyone also picked up their utensils and started eating.
Alex also didn't fall behind and ate well.
It seems like the rules in their house are not so uptight because while eating, Jonathan initiated a conversation.
He looked at Alex and said, "Alex, if you don't mind me asking, how long has it been since you started diving into the Alter Dimensions?"
Alex thought about whether to answer it or not for a second.
In the end, he still decided to say it honestly.
"It's been almost a week now, sir."
Hearing that, everyone was surprised.
Rolando can't help but say, "It hasn't been a week yet but you're already capable of killing monsters like aswang?!"
Alex wasn't surprised that Rolando knew about the aswang.
After all, those students that he saved before were taken in by the Raven Family.
So without any surprise, they have probably asked about what happened in the Alter Dimension when they got kidnapped.
At this time, Jonathan asked another question, "Alex, I know this might be a bit too personal of a question but, what is your current level now?"
When the others heard him ask that, they turned silent and looked at Alex with curious eyes.
