Invincible! This person has lived for a billion years - #385 - 385 We have a guest coming!

“You can stay at my house tonight!”

Alice was genuinely scared. At first, she thought those two kids were harmless and innocuous.

But after William’s description, it seemed terrifying.

Let’s do some calculations.

Garen could easily kill her.

If Luna can kill Garen with one slap, then what about adding Erebus to the equation?

By that logic, Alice was as vulnerable as an ant in front of those two ‘adorable’ kids.

If she somehow angered them, she could indeed meet a grisly end.

“Just for tonight!” William was planning to go to the Turner’s anyway.

Since Luna and Erebus were already living at Alice’s house, for whatever reason, he intended to leave their handling to Alice.

If Alice mishandled the situation and ended up dying at their hands, that would be her own issue.

Even with William’s extraordinary abilities, Alice needed to grow on her own.

Consider it a form of trial.

William and Alice drove to the Turner family estate.

On the way, Alice had already called her dad to prepare a room, as her master was coming over.

Calvin, still unclear about William’s identity, could sense something extraordinary about him, considering his father Charles Turner’s attitude towards William and the changes in Alice lately.

William was going to sleep at his house?

Alice asked him to prepare a room?

Hmm…

Lately, he had heard quite a few rumors.

Especially what Brian Bell said during a drink session a while back, mentioning how envious he was of Calvin for having such an impressive son-in-law.

Alice hadn’t been home for over ten days. In the meantime, when Calvin called to inquire about her whereabouts, William informed him that Alice was staying at his place.

This meant his daughter had been living at William’s house for nearly half a month.

Could he not guess what was happening?

Alice wasn’t particularly young, and her father, Charles Turner, seemed to be of the same generation as William.

It seemed likely that William, as a Soulmancer, maintained a youthful appearance and was guiding his daughter to become a Soulmancer. Their romantic union seemed perfectly acceptable to Calvin.

Moreover, considering William’s maturity and experience, despite being older, he would surely cherish and care for his daughter.

Thinking this, Calvin couldn’t help but grin broadly.

“Mia, tidy up Alice’s room well. We have a guest coming!”

Mia, the family’s nanny of similar age to Calvin and someone who watched Alice grow up, was puzzled. “Why would a guest stay in Alice’s room?”

As soon as she asked, she realized the implication and said with a smile, “Congratulations, sir!”

“Ha ha ha! Hurry and get it ready!” Calvin laughed heartily. “And for those two kids staying in Alice’s room, prepare two separate rooms for them.”

Luna and Erebus had already been living at Alice’s house for more than ten days. Besides eating, they spent their days in Alice’s bedroom, fixated on a painting on the wall.

But on this particular day, Calvin wouldn’t let anything ruin the occasion. He only had one daughter, and eventually, the Turner family’s assets would have to be entrusted to a son-in-law.

Calvin also hoped to see Alice have children soon.

Mia agreed and began tidying up Alice’s room.

Luna and Erebus were still gazing at William’s painting. In just ten days, Luna had broken through three levels.

Now, even facing a Divine Realm god, she would undoubtedly hold her own, making her all the more unwilling to leave.

“Luna, Erebus, come out for a moment. Mia needs to clean the room; Alice will be back soon.”

Mia, fond of children and finding Luna and Erebus adorable, never imagined she would be casually addressing two beings once dubbed as “little devils.” 

In the past, anyone doing so might have prematurely ended up in the morgue.

The two kids initially showed some restraint at Alice’s house, wary of overstepping boundaries.

However, over the past ten days, Mia had been preparing all kinds of delicious meals for them. 

Gradually, they felt it was acceptable to be addressed directly by this ordinary person, much like a pampered cat tolerates its owner who cleans up after it.

“Let’s go to the bed!” Luna suggested, making her way towards the bed.

Mia quickly intervened, “My little darlings! You can’t sleep in this room today.”

“Why not? We can share the bed with Alice!” Luna was keen to continue contemplating the painting.

Mia picked up Luna, gently patting her bottom, and said with a smile, “Today, Alice has brought a friend home.”

Luna, with a sense of entitlement, argued, “Then let Alice’s friend sleep in another room. There seem to be plenty of rooms in the house.”

“That won’t do!” Mia said firmly, carrying Luna out of the room. “How about being good and sleeping with Mia tonight?”

“Okay! But I want blueberries and king crab,” Luna finally compromised, convincing herself it wasn’t just for the food. She knew if Alice didn’t approve of her sleeping in the room, she wouldn’t dare enter it.

Seeing Luna relent, Erebus had no choice but to reluctantly leave the bedroom. 

The painting by William held less insight for him due to his race. 

While their powers were initially comparable, Luna had far surpassed him in these short ten days, reducing him to more of a “servant” role and no longer daring to call Luna a maid.

Just as William and Alice arrived at the Turner estate, Calvin, accompanied by a team of servants, was there to greet them.

“William, good to see you again!” Calvin greeted William warmly.

“Hello,” William replied with a nod.

He wasn’t quite comfortable addressing Calvin as “Mr. Turner.”

Charles Turner used to be his servant, addressed him as “Master.” Even though William regarded Charles as a peer, Calvin was still Charles’s son.

If William were to assert his role as Alice’s master, he should call Calvin “Mr. Turner.” However, if he were to consider himself as Alice’s boyfriend…

William had always found addressing others to be a tricky affair over the years.

So, a simple greeting seemed the best approach.

Calvin didn’t seem to mind and nodded in response, asking, “Have you eaten?”

“We have,” William replied. “How are Luna and Erebus doing?”

“The kids are well-behaved,” Calvin said. “Where did you find them? They’re so sensible. What kind of parents could abandon children like them?”

William explained, “They’ve lost their memories and can’t remember their parents.”

The fact that Calvin was still alive indicated that the two were behaving reasonably well. It also suggested that they still held some respect for Alice. Otherwise, with their power, the Turner family might not have a single survivor by now.

“I see,” Calvin said thoughtfully, changing the subject. “Let’s not talk about that for now. I had Mia prepare your rooms, so go and rest.”
