Chapter 109: Secret Passage?
And now Aiden quickly started to check their status one at a time to see if there is someone he has to leave behind. However, he is surprised to find out that not a single one of them is going to turn into an Undead, and he also finds one rare gem in this group of ladies.
He is surprised to find a talent like hers here because he has never seen someone with this talent before, and only by seeing its name, he can tell it's an overpowered element to have as an affinity.
Some of them are above average, and one of them even has just above the lowest grade talent, but only four people in the group he thinks would be most useful to him.
He even asked the system inside his mind as he found it weird that not a single one of them is going to turn into an undead.
'Why do I feel like I am really the chosen one?'
'System, why does every single one of them have talent?'
The system, which is seeing everything happening, felt excited Aiden called it because it felt boring not being able to talk to anyone at all, especially when it is not allowed to see the steamy nights these immoral brother and sister spent together, which could have been a good form of entertainment for it.
It could have peeked at them. However, this cursed child unknowingly ordered it not to look or listen to him when they had their sexy time together.
It felt lonely and irritated by this, as it can only see them act lovey-dovey and can't see the actual good part which interests it more.
But one thing it has come to understand in these few years is that it was probably a woman before she got killed and her soul got captured by the powerful goddess.
It doesn't know for sure, but it has a feeling it was a woman before, so from now on, she has decided to use a female voice whenever she talks to him.
So she said in a charming yet dominant female voice which she preferred after testing countless voices.
[Every single one of them has talent because these women are trained fighters, and I can say for sure they have a strong spirit, so it is not that weird to have a talent for them, and there is also a little bit of luck involved.]
[Because in some rare cases, even a trained individual can be corrupted by mana and turn into an Undead at the time of World Evolution. However, it is not weird at all.]
Aiden, hearing her charming yet dominant female voice inside his mind, is a bit surprised by the change, as he doesn't know why she changed her voice. He had assumed it to be male, and now he thinks he has to change the way he addresses her.
But he first listened intently to her, and after finding out it's not uncommon, he felt a little sad as the system wouldn't accept him as the chosen one. But right now, that is not what's on his mind.
'Did the system get affected by modern society and want to become the gender it feels comfortable with?'
'I didn't think even a cultivator's soul would be affected by modern society and change its gender after living so many years.'
The system, reading his mind and listening to his thoughts, felt humiliated and mostly angered by his thoughts.
[If I had a real body, I would have broken your bones for thinking something like that about me. It's just that I don't know which gender I was previously.]
She would have told him she wanted to kill him, but in these few years, she had become attached to this child without even realizing it herself.
[And now I think I was female before being captured by the goddess, and definitely not a weak twerp like you, as I was killed by the goddess.]
Aiden, hearing her words, could feel the anger from her tone, and it is the first time he has seen the system get angry. However, he doesn't have time to play with her right now, so he only replied to her with a sentence.
'Yeah, yeah, you can be whatever you want to be. I don't judge you at all, so be happy.'
[World Evolution starts in 3 minutes 12 seconds.]
She is shouting inside his mind, but he doesn't focus on her and orders the 10 female guards to follow him seeing that he is not listening she also stops and focuses on her watching her only form of drama.
"All of you should follow me where I am going and don't touch anything inside without my permission when we reach there."
So he walked toward a pillar with his sister by his side and ten female guards following closely behind.
None of them mentioned anything about his weird behavior of standing in a place and looking at each one of them at a time, which took about 10 minutes.
When they get the news from the general about how they are suspended from duty and have to follow Aiden from now on, they may fall for his otherworldly appearance, which even beats the main cast of the romance dramas they watched,
But most of them were still skeptical about his leadership to handle them, so most of them were thinking about the same thing.
They felt a little sad to know they wouldn't be able to be with the general, but since Aiden is her family, they easily accepted the fact that they have to follow him from now on.
If Ava and Isla had told them about what happened during their mission at the school, they wouldn't be thinking like this, and surprisingly, Isla is not among this group of women.
'Hehehe, I have learned many things while staying with the General, and I will be the one who will personally teach him how to lead others, and that would be the start of our romantic journey.'
They thought he must be assessing them properly with he looked at them for 10 minutes, so they acted with their absolute best.
Unlike Isla, who had fallen under his charm and acted foolishly previously, they can easily act professionally in front of him. While they felt shy inside, they wouldn't show it on their faces.
'But why is the leader standing in front of the pillar and not moving at all?'
All of them were thinking the same thing in their minds because they didn't see anything other than the pillar in front of them.
Aiden used his foot to put a certain amount of pressure on the ground in some specific area, and doing this he waited for a few seconds as a secret passage opened up in the ground, revealing large stairs leading underground.
Fwoosh
Except for Aiden and Alicia, few of them, seeing the passage in front of them, were a little surprised as they had stayed here for five years, but they still didn't know anything about this secret passage.
But almost every one of them was not surprised, as they had already noticed Aiden coming inside the parking lot many times over these few years. While he could be playing with his modified cars, there was a very high chance there was a secret passage underneath it.
The size of his home is only above average, but the land it was built on is a freaking 5 kilometers, and even an idiot would know there is something weird going on inside this piece of land.
And knowing how they have a freaking anti-missile system installed in their garden, it didn't surprise them much. They guessed its radar must be inside the laboratory.
Only Isla and the other average-looking female soldiers, seeing this scene, felt shocked by how they didn't know anything about it. As both of them had been living here for five years and saw their teammates' reaction, both could tell they must have expected something like this.
