BXBX NOVEL Chapter 154 Azul, New Skills
When Paula recovered, she immediately saw Alex staring at her.
She was startled, "Ah! Why are you staring at me?"
Scratching his head, Alex replied, "I was just wondering what\'s the matter with you all."
"What do you mean?"
Alex pointed at Angelica and the three boys who still have their eyes closed as if they are experiencing comfort.
Paula followed Alex\'s finger and saw the faces of the four kids.
Then, she realized what Alex was talking about.
"Ah! Was I also acting like them earlier?"
Alex nodded, "Yeah, that\'s why I can\'t help but become curious as to what happened to you all."
Paula nodded in understanding.
Organizing her words, Paula explained to Alex what just happened and the golden light from his eyes.
"What? There was really something like that?"
Alex was baffled after hearing it.
Paula nodded again to confirm.
Sighing, Alex shook his head and got rid of those thoughts.
"Well, that\'s not important right now."
Hearing Alex\'s words, Paula remembered what they were doing here.
"Right, that\'s not important right now. So, tell me, did you get the skill?"
Paula impatiently asked Alex.
To her question, Alex calmly shook his head, "No, I didn\'t get the skill."
Immediately, Paula\'s mood fell to the bottom and disappointment was all over her face.
When Alex saw that, he was silent for a second before sighing and saying, "Why are you already like that? I\'m not finished talking yet."
Hearing his words, Paula slowly raised her head and there\'s a questioning look in her eyes.
Seeing her appearance, Alex can\'t help but let out another sigh.
Alex didn\'t beat around the bushes any longer and said, "What I mean is, it\'s true that I didn\'t get the skill."
"Because, I was able to get the Draconian Bloodline!"
Paula remained still for a while as if she didn\'t hear Alex\'s words.
But when it finally synced in, she snapped her head in Alex\'s direction and jumped out of her seat.
"What?! Are you serious?!"
With wide eyes, Paula appeared in front of Alex and held both of his shoulders.
Seeing Paula\'s intense reaction, Alex nodded.
"Yeah, it\'s real. I told you, didn\'t I, my luck is pretty extraordinary." Alex said casually.
Paula looked at Alex in disbelief.
There was only 0.01% probability of successfully obtaining the bloodline when the essence blood is taken.
The chance of dying from it has thousands times higher the probability of occuring than getting that bloodline.
For one to really get it, their luck has already passed being just extraordinary, it could only be described as monstrous!
Paula looked at Alex with astonished eyes.
After a couple of seconds, Paula calmed down and went back to her seat.
However, her eyes were fixed on Alex the whole time, as if afraid that she\'ll miss something if she looks away for even a second.
Her behavior could only make Alex let out a sigh.
Shaking his head, Alex looked at her and said, "Anyway, now that I already consumed the [Pureblood Dragon\'s Essence Blood] and survived, that means I completed the quest, right?"
"Ah, that\'s right. Wait, I\'ll just confirm."
Saying that, Paula started fiddling her system interface.
After a few seconds, a new notification appeared in front of Alex.
[Ding!]
[Congratulations for completing the quest \'Suicidal Task\'.]
[Your reward, Upgrade Card, has been placed in your inventory.]
…
Seeing that, Alex smiled happily.
After looking at it for a while, Alex dismissed the interface and turned his gaze back to Paula.
Playing with his fingers, he said, "Now that I managed to obtain the \'Draconian\' Bloodline, I guess it\'s time for us to talk about your real purpose, right?"
Immediately, Paula\'s face became serious.
Paula didn\'t say anything for a while and the two of them stared at each other, making the room eerily silent.
On the side, Angelica and the three other kids, who already recovered from their daze, pursed their mouths and also kept silent.
After a while, Paula stood up and said, "Follow me."
Without waiting for Alex to respond, Paula already went ahead, heading toward one of the few rooms in this hut.
Alex didn\'t immediately follow Paula, but looked at Angelica and her brothers first.
He said, "You four should just stay here and behave until we come back, okay? I just need to finish this, then we\'ll continue our journey."
Nodding their heads like good kids, the four replied in unison, "Okay, Brother Zero!"
Alex smiled at them gently before he stood up and followed Paula.
At this time, Paula is already standing in front of the door of the room, waiting for Alex.
When Alex finally came, Paula seriously said, "Behind this door, my dad, who\'s been in a coma, is resting."
Alex nodded in understanding.
Paula continued, "Since you have successfully obtained what needs to be obtained, it is now time I tell you why we needed that."
Saying that, Paula started narrating to Alex about what happened to her father, why they started Dragon Diner, and the search for someone who can successfully acquire the necessary skill to cure their father.
Alex listened carefully to Paula\'s words and soon understood everything.
Now, looking at Paula, Alex can\'t help but sympathize with her a bit.
Then, thinking of the unknown noble that Chichi mentioned before, Alex said, "So, was the nobleman who visited Dragon Diner before you closed it an \'enemy\' of yours?"
Paula sighed and nodded, "Oum, that guy… he\'s the son of the head of one of the branches of the Mendez Family, one of the four Great Families of Kyisis Kingdom."
Hearing that, Alex frowned, "One of the four great families? Like the Flores family?"
"Yes," Paula nodded, "However, just like I said, the one where he belongs is just a branch family."
Alex nodded in understanding.
Then he said, "Let\'s stop standing here and get inside already. We still have to cure your father immediately so that you and your sister can finally go back to your peaceful life from before."
Saying that, Alex went ahead and knocked on the door.
Tok! Tok! Tok!
"Hello, this is Zero, can I enter?"
Alex waited for a few seconds but there was no response.
Turning his eyes to Paula, Alex confusedly said, "You said your sister is inside, right? Why did no one reply then?"
Paula shrugged, "Well, what did you expect? She doesn\'t even know you."
Taking a step forward, Paula grabbed the doorknob and twisted it, opening the door.
When she fully opened the door, what she saw was Azul, standing there, staring in her direction.
On Azul\'s hand, she\'s holding a wooden staff and seems prepared to attack if something happens.
Because an unknown stranger just suddenly knocked on the door, even introducing himself, Azul can\'t help be on alert.
When she saw that the door was being opened, Azul immediately tensed up but after seeing that it was her sister, she heaved a sigh of relief.
"You scared me sister."
After saying that, Azul looked at Paula and asked, "Who was that man knocking earlier, sister? Do we have a visitor?"
Nodding, Paula said, "Yeah, and he\'s not just any visitor."
Turning around, she called Alex, "Hey, you can enter now."
On Paula\'s signal, Alex entered the room and saw Azul standing there, looking at him with curiosity.
Smiling, Alex greeted, "Hello, my name is Alex."
"Oh, ah, hi, I\'m Paula\'s sister, Azul."
After the short introduction, Alex turned his eyes to the sole bed in this room where a man with a pale complexion was lying in with a frown on his face.
"Is he your father?" Alex asked.
Paula and Azul followed his eyes and looked at their father with sad expressions.
"Yes..."
Alex observe the man, Borong Leonel, who\'s lying on the bed with a painful look on his face.
Then he turned his eyes to Paula and asked, "So, what am I supposed to do now?"
Paula looked back at Alex and with a serious expression, she said", "Can you tell me if you got any skill after you obtain the bloodline?"
"Hmm, wait, let me take a look."
Opening his character panel, Alex scanned his skills if there are new additions to it.

However, what really caught Alex\'s attention was the number of remaining luck points that he has.
