Chapter 104: CHAPTER 104 – Press Conference 2.
Alex had been relaxing with his eyes closed and that made many cameramen secretly take his photo as they could use it to make an issue as well, and can all this be hidden from Alex?
He could see everything even with his eyes closed, so of course he knew what those guys were doing, but he ignored them.
He never cared about people's opinions, neither did he have any intentions of ever doing that.
Alex didn't even want to attend the press conference, but Alice pulled up on stage with her puppy eyes.
She told him that all he had to do was sit there, just like Frank as he was the honorary guild master, after all.
So, Alex decided to just sit there, but things just happened, and he somehow ended up noticing three people or assassins dressed up as reporters, moving towards them along with the crowd.
Those guys probably came to assassinate Alice and although he knew those guys could not even touch Alice, he still killed them.
Alex knew that the reporters were going to ask him questions as well, it was not going to be like what Alice told him and he was not going to be left alone.
So, he decided to use the assassins as a way to scare the reporters, that way, only a few of them will even have the courage to look at him, much less ask him a question.
Things were going well as the questions were all for Alice and he liked the way she replied but then a guy finally asked him a question.
"Mister Matthew, people say that your guild has become arrogant because of the power they gained, what are your thoughts about that?"
Alex almost laughed out loud when he heard the question, and just because he was trying to control his laughter, it took him a while to look at the guy.
"So, if someone has power and stays humble, then they are pushovers, but if the same guy takes pride in showing the power he has, then he is arrogant.
Man, I really don't get the way how logic works for you people..."
That's all Alex spoke before he relaxed back on the chair, folded his hands, and closed his eyes.
"Looks like that was your answer, mister 'what are your thoughts'," Alice spoke before she ignored the guy in question.
The reporter just gritted his teeth and sat down.
"You, the one with the ponytail."
Alice pointed at a girl with a ponytail hairstyle.
The girl didn't even glance at Alice as her eyes were fixed on Alex from the time she had entered the hall.
Alice had noticed that as well, but she intentionally picked this girl as she knew what kind of question this girl was going to ask.
"Mister Matthew, are you single?"
The girl didn't shy away after asking the question, and neither did she get embarrassed as she saw people looking at her like she was some kind of zoo animal.
Other reporters knew that the topic of Alex being single or not is one of the most trending topics but they were here to get some answers about very important stuff.
Alex opened his eyes and instead of looking at the girl, he looked at Alice.
This action didn't go unnoticed by the reporters as their reporter senses started tingling about some spicy news.
Alice widened her eyes as she saw Alex's action, and so did Ann. They knew how Alex's actions would be seen by the world and they knew that Alex knew that as well since they could see him smirking at them.
Alex knew that Alice chose that girl intentionally as even he who had his eyes closed could guess what kind of question the girl had.
Alex, Alice, and Ann had looked through everything that had happened when they were in-gate.
So, of course, they know about the topic where Alex had become the most perfect husband candidate for females all over the world.
Alice and Ann even teased Alex by calling him by the nicknames that were given to him by his 100s of fan clubs. For example: 'Cold-eyed knight', 'Prince of the dreams', etc.
Alice became embarrassed but she maintained a poker face. She knew if she reacted then she was done for, and there would be who knows how much news about this.
She didn't hate that idea though, she loved it even. But she couldn't let the press conference that was for the world to know their deeds turn into an interview where they discuss her personal life.
"You have a question 'Mister Matthew'," Alice spoke and Alex finally turned toward the girl.
"No, not at the moment," Alex replied to the girl and the girl didn't know why but she sighed.
"Then do you have someone you lik-" The girl hurriedly tried to ask another question but she was cut off mid-sentence.
"You lost your chance to ask a question, now you can sit down," Alice spoke as she gave the girl a hard look.
The girl sat down after giving Alex a last look.
"You, with a white shirt and dark blue coat."
Alice then pointed out at another guy.
"Miss Alice, can you tell us the source of the shockwave? You guys were inside the gate, so you must know something, right?"
The guy asked respectfully, but he was really hoping that he would get the desired answer instead of the kind of answer others were getting.
Maybe his luck was good or maybe Alice finally decided to get serious with the press conference, but she replied to the guy honestly.
"I do know where the shockwave came from, but I don't know why it happened, so I will just tell you what we saw," Alice spoke and as she saw the reporter nod his head happily, she continued.
"We were fighting many beasts and the hidden boss together, but when the hidden boss was slayed, its body started cracking, and following that the beasts in the gate also started experiencing the same thing.
Finally, that happened, all the beast exploded into a mass of light, including the hidden boss, we didn't know what had happened and we didn't know what or why that shockwave was generated, but we do know that we profited a lot from the shockwave."
Alice concluded with that and she stayed silent for a while as she could see the reporters making notes.
This was big news, after all, it was one of the answers the world was looking for.
Alice then clicked a button below the desk, issuing some kind of order. Alex and Ann also saw that but they stayed silent.
It took the reporters a while to write down the things Alice spoke and Alice waited and finally, when everyone was done, Alice picked the next reporter.
"You, the one with blonde hair," Alice pointed at a blonde girl.
The girl stood up elegantly before she looked at Alice and spoke.
"Miss Alice, people are facing many problems all over the world and some people say that it is your fault and you should take responsibility by compensating the citizens, what are your thoughts on this topic?"
Alice smiled inwardly as it was finally time for the main event to start.
