Alex had seen Selina's calling device—something that worked almost like a phone in this world—ring exactly around 7 in the evening every day.
He had been curious about it for a while, but he never asked, until one day he did.
"Who's that?"
He wasn't aware at that time how big of a fish he was about to catch by that single curious inquiry.
"Oh, it's just my disciple. He is a bit too cautious with everything, so he would always want me to check in at 7 pm, ensuring my well-being."
Selina herself wasn't aware that her casual shrug at that time was going to change a lot of things.
"Oh? You had a disciple? I never knew."
Alex, who would've ignored it after getting his answer, didn't do so that day; instead, he pressed on.
He had felt at that time that he was getting closer to something—something very advantageous for him.
"Well, you are not the first to say that, my lord."
