Chapter 361 Attosecond
As she remembered everything that she and her boss had to go through as they waited for Alex and Alina to come out, Andrea could barely hold her anger in as she glared at the two.
If she could just speak and vent her rage right now, then Andrea will already do it.
But she can’t, so she can only hold her anger in.
It was only when Alina has full unraveled the bundle of cloth, that Andrea obtained the distraction that she was waiting for.
Andrea immediately looked at what was inside the bundle, preparing herself for the possibility of it being just a joke.
It was not a joke.
After she stared at the unraveled bundle, Andrea found herself looking at a creature on Alina’s arms.
This creature was, in all sense, a bonafide human baby. And a cute, female one at that.
Right now, this baby was currently sleeping peacefully, with her light snores sounding like a melody on Andrea’s ears.
The baby’s long hair and silky skin complimented her cute face, creating an appearance that was just too much even for Andrea’s opinion.
"So cute!" This was all that Andrea could say as she was immediately captivated by the baby’s charm.
Andrea, who was feeling all sorts of negative emotions right now, could not help but brighten up after she saw the baby’s cute and refreshing appearance.
This was how cute this baby was. Her appearance alone was enough to make someone like Andrea feel reinvigorated.
But even though she was ’mentally healed’ by this baby, Andrea still treated her with suspicion.
"So Mr. Alex, I did not expect that you were able to copulate and have a child with Alina in just 7 days." Andrea said as she tried her best to hide the irritation in her voice. "Your vitality must have been... at the higher end of the scales."
After saying these words, Andrea looked back at Alex, as she wanted to see what his reaction will be.
Will he be angry for being called out? Or will he be embarrassed, which was in Andrea’s opinion, the feeling that Alex should definitely have.
But to the surprise of Andrea, Alex looked to be confused. He was not angry or even embarrassed. He was just taken aback by Andrea’s comment.
"Wait, are you thinking that this baby right here is the biological child of me and Alina?" Alex asked with hesitation as Andrea saw Alina turning scarlet red. "Is that the first thing that came to your mind when you saw this baby?"
"Y-yes, that’s the first thing that I thought of." Andrea honestly replied as she now also felt confused. "After all, you’re in a relationship with Miss Alina, so having a physical, intimate moment with her was already inevitable. The only surprise that I got here was that you two has managed to conceive a baby in just a short amount of time!"
"Hey! You got this all wrong!" Alex immediately said as panic began to appear on his face. He waved his hands around him, as his whole body seemed to become flustered. "This baby was not created through an intercourse, and it definitely did not come out of Alina’s baby hole!"
"Alex! Can you please speak properly? You’re embarrassing me here!" Alina muttered beside Alex as her face turned redder and redder, until it reached the point where none of her face seemed to have its natural white pallor. "Why did you have to add that second sentence? You are just making this more awkward for us!"
"Oh, sorry about that. I just wanted to explain everything to Andrea clearly." Alex replied sheepishly as he rubbed the back of his neck. "She seemed to have fully misunderstood everything..."
"Hmph, since you are the one doing the explaining, then I will leave her to you then." Alina replied as she went back inside the house, bringing the baby along with her.
"..."
With the way that Alina was embarrassed right now, she will surely not come out of the house unless Alex asks her to do so.
Speaking of Alex, he was now left alone on the doorway, along with Andrea, who just stared with Alex with more doubt.
Both of them stared at each other in silence for a few seconds, before Andrea cleared her throat, indicating her intention to speak.
"So you’re saying that that baby right there is not your biological baby. Then how did it just suddenly appear here?" Andrea slowly asked as she pinched her nose. "What is it? Did she just come out of the sink?"
"Sink? Hell no. That’s just gross." Alex quickly replied as he shook his head.
"Then where did that baby come from?"
"Andrea, do you remember my statement that Alina and I will be having a training inside this room?" Alex said as his embarrassment started to fade. "We followed that training schedule relentlessly, and we just barely succeeded on finishing it earlier. And it was when we finished that training that the baby appeared."
"You got a baby after you completed your training? That’s what you are saying here?"
"Yes, that’s the origin story of the baby." Alex replied nonchalantly as he ignored the incredulity in Andrea’s voice. "Alina was actually pretty spooked when the baby appeared earlier. We were still tired after our training, and we did not expect to suddenly see a baby out of all things. But just like what you see now, Alina and I were able to adjust along with the baby. Pretty impressive, right?"
"Yes. Its pretty impressive. Although, I am not sure if you are really telling the truth." Andrea replied as she let out a sigh. "Do you really expect me to believe that you and Miss Alina only trained inside that room? Hah, that baby is the thing that disproves your excuses! You said that you got that baby from a training? Heh, that ’training’ must have been an intense love-making session!"
"Andrea.... What do you want me to do to prove to you that this baby is not our real child?" Alex said as he rubbed the bridge of his nose. He seemed to be really bothered with Andrea’s accusation, as if he was affected by it. "I swear, we just did training inside the room."
"If you really did some training, then show me how much you’ve gotten stronger now." Andrea replied with a sneer. "If you really trained, then you should have gotten some significant increase in power...."
"..."
With the way that Alex and Alina looked after their ’training’, and with the appearance of the baby, Andrea was 100% sure that Alex and Alina did not gain any kind of power-up at all.
This was just the truth, and Andrea believes firmly in it.
"What, don’t tell me that you can’t even muster any power right now?" Andrea taunted as she started to feel more and more confident right now.
Andrea was feeling this confident as she has a clear understanding of her power compared with Alex and Alina’s power.
Andrea’s power level can be compared to that of an Intermediate Fifth Stage Being.
As for Alex and Alina’s power, Andrea knew that 7 days ago, their powers were comparable to that of a Peak Fifth Stage Being.
In that kind of situation, Andrea knew that Alex can suppress her, although not at the point that she will be really beaten up.
With this kind of power gap in mind, Andrea can surely know if the current Alex has really improved once he attacks her.
If the current Alex attacks her right now, and he was only able to suppress her, then Andrea can confirm that Alex did not do any training at all.
And if Alex was actually able to beat her up into submission, then Andrea can accept that he has indeed did some training.
But deep inside Andrea’s heart, she was highly sure that Alex has just fooled around with Alina.
"Come on, Mr. Alex. I want to know how much you improved." Andrea said once more, as she let out an impatient huff. "If you don’t attack me right now, then that might mean that you are not-"
"I just have to attack you once, right?" Alex suddenly said, interrupting Andrea’s clear provocation. His face was filled with concern as he looked at Andrea with pity. "Are you sure that you want to do this?"
"I am sure, Mr. Alex." Andrea replied as she puffed out her chest confidently. She just dismissed Alex’s concerned look as a bluff, as she met people who have done this before. "Just do your thing, and I will see for myself if you have indeed improved."
"You said that, ok?" With Andrea saying this confidence-filled words, Alex’s concerned face disappeared as it was replaced by a serious one. "Okay, I will be making my move right now."
"You don’t need to say that you are attacking. Just attack m-"
Andrea tried to finish her provocation, but before she could even say her next word, her whole world spun erratically, which immediately shut her mind down.
Her body then fell down on the floor, twitching ever so slightly as her head hit the concrete.
Her consciousness, which was barely able to realize what had happened, only lasted for a fraction of an attosecond before it also collapsed.
To anyone who witnessed what had just happened, they can all agree with one thing.
And that is that Andrea did not know what just hit her, and she might only know once she wakes up.
That is, if she ever wakes up.
***********
A FEW MINUTES LATER
"Ughh..." A light groan came out of Andrea’s mouth as her body began to stir. Her skin also regained its normal color as her organs started working normally again.
Her mind began to recover too, as her awareness and consciousness caught up with her already awake body.
"Ugh..."
It took Andrea 3 more seconds of groaning before she opened her eyes.
As the light began to return on her eyes, the sleepy and relaxed expression on Andrea’s face disappeared as she let out a panicked shout.
"Argh!!!!" Andrea let out this shout as the memories of what happened earlier returned to her.
Andrea continued shouting for a few more seconds, as if she was doing it to calm herself down.
Once her voice has turned hoarse from shouting, Andrea closed her mouth as she looked around her in panic.
"Where the hell am I? And what the hell just happened to me?" Andrea thought to herself as she gritted her teeth.
Right now, Andrea found herself surrounded by trees. And to make matters worse, there was no sign of Alex’s house nearby. Actually, all the landmarks around Alex’s house were also not around, which made Andrea feel nervous.
This nervousness was then compounded after Andrea recalled her challenge to Alex.
"From what I can remember, I just challenged Mr. Alex to attack me earlier. Yes, I did that because I wanted to confirm if he has indeed trained..." Andrea mumbled as she sat on a nearby stone. "And from what I can see, it seems like Mr. Alex attacked me, although he did it in an overwhelming fashion... And it seems like he brought me to a different place after he defeated me. He must have been irritated with my attitude..."
As she remembered the way that she immediately lost consciousness after Alex declared his intention to attack, Andrea could only feel shame and fear.
She felt shame, for she realized that she actually misunderstood Alex and Alina. He and Alina seemed to have really trained, which was showcased by Alex’s power.
She also felt fear, as she realized that it took Alex no effort to put her down. For Alex to be able to do something like this, he must have reached a level of power that was already beyond what Andrea could deal with.
As she reached this line of thought, Andrea started to shiver, as she realized that she was actually lucky to be even alive right now.
"Goodness gracious, Mr. Alex must have been a kind person to allow someone like me to live.,." Andrea muttered to herself as she let out a sigh. She then looked down at her hands, which were both trembling greatly right now.
"I’m sorry boss, it seems like I have messed up a little..."
