Chapter 128 Dangerous ambitions
Jake had just finished inviting Peter into his Guild when he was done, Peter left the roof and then the door opened again with Alex stepping in and demanding a fight with Jake which greatly surprised him.
After explaining his reasons, Jake decided to grant him his wish but not without informing Alex that he wasn't going to take it easy on him not one bit.
And true to Jake's words, he didn't take it easy on Alex. Jake fought against him as if his life was on the line and in the process, Alex was punched across the roof and landed on the roof's door.
After seeing he was okay, Alex's next move totally surprised Jake.
"I Alexander Slade the son of Rex Slade who is the leader and ruler of one of the Big three families thank Jake Lucas for saving my life from the werewolves attack and I also pledge my allegiance to you; Jake Lucas." Alex said as he got down on one knee with his fist on the floor.
"What?!?!!!" That was all Jake could say in surprise.
Listening to Alex's words, Jake received shock after shock.
"Your... your dad is part of the big three? As in the rulers of this world?" Jake asked with his widened in shock.
And to which Alex nodded his head confirming Jake's words.
"If you are part of the big three, then why are you pledging your allegiance to me?" Jake asked still surprised.
"I noticed that being with the big three, I would always be overshadowed by my elder brothers that's why I came to this academy to pave my own path." Alex explained still on his kneeling position.
"And that's why I hid my identity. The only ones that know my identity are the higher authorities in the academy. And seeing you, I know if I stay with you, I would create my own path."
"Okay, first of all, I have heard you. Get up from the floor let's talk better." Jake said and immediately Alex stood up and strapped his sword on his back.
Seeing Alex pledging his allegiance to him, Jake's first thought was to invite him to his guild but he didn't know if he could trust Alex after the revelation that he was related to the leader of the big three that he would likely go against in the nearest future.
"But you are strong enough to create your own path, why come to me?" Jake asked.
"Like I said, I can't do it alone. That's why I came to you knowing that you could help." Alex said.
"Are you nuts? How do you plan on doing that? Did you even see the amount of XP it will take you to get to level 20?" Zee asked.
To which Jake just smiled. "well, I have a plan to get over that hudle but firstly, I need better equipment and for that, I need to hunt."
Jake finally got to his dorm and got in and he could see all his roommates inside chatting with each other.
"Hey Jake." Kate greeted. "How are you?"
"I'm doing fine thank you." Jake forced a smiled as he headed to his bed.
Jake had always been like this ever since Vynn had died.
"Look Jake, we are all saddened by Vynn's death and it has been a month now and none of us has forgotten about him." Sophia said.
"But It doesn't mean that you would brood about it and push those that are around you, rather we need to stay together and pay those that took Vynn away from us ten fold."
Jake just looked at her and smiled. "And I plan to do that. But I have to start somewhere."
"What do you mean?" Kate asked with a raised brow.
Peter didn't bother to listen too much in because he already knew what Jake was planning on doing.
"Let me ask you all a question," Jake said sitting on his bed and looking at everybody.
"If I ask you one day to go against the academy and the big three that you idolize, would you do that?"
Everyone were confused by this because they didn't know how it correlated with getting revenge from the werewolves.
And nobody could answer because they all knew that it was impossible to do especially the Sophia and Jack who were also children of the remaining big three.
"Just as I thought." Jake said as he lay on his bed and went to sleep.
