Re: Player-Chapter 166: [Goddess wants to know!]

[Valencia's POV!]

.

.

Alepsia and I reached down to the planet in our disguises, wearing a black hoodie. We slowly descended to one of the alleys in the border town.

"Don't you think it would have been better to meet him in the shop where there would be fewer people?" Alepsia asked as she looked at me, a bit confused.

"Can't do it. There are a lot of things that I need answers to, and I don't even know when is the next time he is going to the shop," I answered her with a bit of a hurried expression.

To be fair, I wanted to fight him. I wanted to fight Adam to the best of my ability.

Though that is only one reason I wanted to meet him early. The other was to know what in the heck did he do in the Inverse World, and how did he manage to escape from the clutches of a Hell Guardian.

Even I, the Goddess of War, would not be able to escape a Hell Guardian, let alone fight it. It's practically impossible.

'And that too in hell. The domain of a Hell Guardian where their powers are at their best,' and in a way I was kind of scared of him as well.

"He is coming," Alepsia spoke as she saw Adam coming out of the underground market with Leena and Anna behind him.

There was also his clone Wesker… Hmmm?… ???

"Hey Alepsia. Which one of them is the real one?" I asked, as I noticed I couldn't find the difference between them. Both of them looked equally strong right now.

"Of course it's…" and Alepsia was about to speak, but she too stopped as she looked at Adam and Wesker a couple of times.

"It's?" I asked again, since Alepsia knows Adam much better than me. It can't be that even she can't figure out the difference between him and his clone… right?

"I… uh… it's Adam," she spoke with a hesitation in her voice, while I narrowed my eyes on her.

Facing me, she nodded as she spoke," yup. It's Adam. The clone is Wesker."

She mumbled, trying to make me believe… or was she telling that to herself?

"All right," I smiled at her before adding," let's go see him then."

Though still hesitant, she nodded before we began moving towards Adam as he was currently walking towards the east of the city. Most probably to his shop.

"Let's go," Alepsia spoke as she began walking towards him, while I walked beside her slowly, one step at a time.

He was talking with Anna, who seemed to be angry. Leena, who was walking beside Wesker, was lost in thought. Her eyes weren't even looking at what's in front of her and Wesker was simply patting her head once in every few moments.

Walking, we slowly reached closer to the 4 of them, with the rest of the crowd simply looking at them. Since they were the center of the event that had just happened, all eyes were on them.

Hence, even though we were walking towards them, we still had enough distance to not attract any attention. And an added magic that pulls attention away from us was in place, so it was better.

As long as there was no God like being or above, we would be pretty sure to be invisible in this crowd.

Wesker and Adam walked towards the shop, and after a small walk of 5-10 minutes, we happened to reach the shop. Wesker walked in with the two sisters, while Adam waited as he looked in our direction and spoke.

"Come in."

We both paused and looked at each other for a moment. Then, our expression turned a bit more serious as we walked into the shop.

"Welcome to Everyday Arrays," Adam spoke as he laughed and closed the shop door.

Inside, Wesker had already set up 6 chairs, one for each of us, and I couldn't help but wonder if he somehow already knew about our arrival. It can't be right? I didn't even know that we would be here…

"Please, sit down." Wesker spoke. Slowly moving towards the chair, I took my seat. The others also followed and sat around us. read-this-on-MVLeMpYr

"Now. Why are the Goddesses following me? Didn't we settle most of the things in Azenor?" Adam asked, a bit confused. His eyes were trying to figure out our reason for coming here.

Wesker poured tea for everyone and readied an assortment of snacks on the table.

"Not the quality you might find in the heaven realm, but still good," he added as he passed down the cup of tea towards me with a smile.

I wanted to start the conversation, but for some reason, I couldn't get myself to begin speaking. It's… a bit of fear and hesitation.

While I am still the Goddess of War… The fact that these guys seated in front of me faced a Hell Guardian like it was nothing… weighed heavily on my mind.

"Since you both are quiet, let me start the conversation then," Wesker, who was carefully observing me, spoke first, with a smile curling up on the corner of his lips.

"It's the Hell Guardian, isn't it? The fact that we came back unscathed and also what we did in the Inverse Realm. It's what you want to know, right?" Wesker hit the nail on the head, while I could simply nod.

"Don't worry, friends of Adam are my friends as well. There is nothing to really think about," Wesker spoke as he relaxed in his seat and smiled at me.

'Aren't you both the same?' I wanted to say that but I couldn't… partly because Leena and Anna were here, and partly because I feared offending him right now.

Though.

I was still relieved to hear that he considered us as his friends. It was truly a relief for us.

"All right. Then I should begin with the reason why I came here. And a bit about the objectives I wanted to achieve when I first appeared in this city," and Wesker began speaking while we listened to his full story.
