Alex's Plan

The smile disappeared as soon as it has appeared. Alex gave a happy smile to Justin. The change has not gone without notice. It may have been for a moment, but Justin caught it. He was caught unprepared by the sudden change in Alex's attitude now the way he changed from the face. He thought that younger master was not as harmless as he looked.

It was also part of Alex's plan. He intentionally smiled that way to be noticed by Justin. People judge base on their experiences. He has heard stories of innocent-looking people turning into devils. There is a common saying that we shouldn't judge people based on appearance.

This saying is so common that everyone must have heard it at least once in their lives. But the truth is that we are used to judging people based on their appearance. The most common occurrence of this is that if a handsome looking guy stops a girl and flirts with her the reaction the girl will give is highly likely to be polite. The people looking on the sides will laugh and it will be considered fun. If we replace the peon with a middle-aged person with at most average looks and the way people will react will be different. This will be considered harassment.

This was not always the case but it was not uncommon either. This world filled with cultivators. The betrayal happened so often that it became common sense. The juniors were pf clans told them of such stories and be aware of people in the outside world. These were the type of people who learned from other experience and had a pre-judgement for everything.

The second type of people wee who experienced things themselves. They were the type to judge everything based on experience. Justin was this type of person. He was smart but the betrayal incidents became so common that it was considered unusual for things to happen not that way.

If a strong clan didn't exterminate a weaker clan after they offended them became so rare that such happening would cause people bewilderment. They would try to find the cause for such actions.

Alex smile made him think of people that appeared very harmless and innocent looking but were very dangerous. He didn't link Alex with such people but it was just a subconscious thought.

Alex knew that Justin couldn't fall into his trap so soon. This was just the beginning. He would soon make Justin dance on his fingers without him realising. The first he ordered him something was also part of the plan. If a person continuously does something, it becomes their second nature.

A person who is used to physical will subconsciously raise their to defend themselves if a person stronger raises their hand to hit them. They are so used to being beaten that instead of fighting back, they try to protect their vitals to lessen the pain they will face.

The same went for people who were continuously ordered around. Justin was born talented and recruited by Alex's father when he was just the crown prince. He was never ordered around. The task given to Justin was simply that he has to cultivate and protect Alex's father, Henrik.

Alex knew this after looking at Justin behaviour in the last few years that he was never ordered around. He was going to order him around that it will become his second nature to obey his orders. Justin was unable to use his identity until Alex stepped in the divine path.

Justin was unaware of Alex plans but if he knew them, he would have puked blood. He was on the strongest existence in higher realms. There were only a handful of people, who could go toe to toe with him. The only reason he was willing to come was due to Alex's mother, Sophia. He was more loyal to her despite being recruited by Henrik. He and Sophia were the only ones who knew the reason for that.

The first part of his plan has succeeded. He was going to continue the plan that required him to go to the forest. He stood up and looked at Alex and said, " Go and buy the things that we need for the going into the forest".

Justin had never done shopping for his whole life. The things were always bought by the low ranked servants. He turned and went towards Henry's courtyard.

Henry had already cleaned the mess left by Justin. He breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that there was no evidence left of anybody's death here. He was going inside back when he saw Justin came back. Henry was scared.

He ran towards Justin and asked shakingly, " What I can do for you, senior?" Justin said in a majestic voice, " Go and buy things, young master, for his trip". He disappeared after that without paying attention to Henry.

Henry stood up and was about to call a servant. He was going to send the servant to buy things then he remembered the previous incident and decided against it. He was going to buy things himself that such things don't happen again.
