Chapter 355: Overboard
The two of them suppressed their auras after a few seconds passed, as they could tell it was putting a lot of stress on the weaker people nearby.
The guards themselves even had cold sweat trickling down their faces, as they themselves were shocked at what they were feeling.
They were thankful that Alex and Mira dropped them after only a few seconds, as they were becoming stressed themselves!
If one of their superiors happened to be in the area and felt those two powerful auras suppressing everyone at the city gates, not only might they mistake it as an attack, but the guards would also lose their jobs for not reporting it up the chain of command!
If Alex and Mira had kept their aura up a little bit longer, they would have probably attracted quite some trouble to themselves!
“So, does that fit your requirements?”
Alex nonchalantly asked the guard, who was still recovering from his shellshock.
“… You didn’t have to release your aura to prove your strength… We have much simpler methods of doing so…”
“…”
“…”
Both Alex and Mira were speechless upon hearing the guard’s remark.
‘Perhaps I did jump the gun on that…’
He recalled the fact that he unleashed his aura before the guard could explain any further information to him, and understood that perhaps he had been a little bit too quick to jump the gun…
‘Oh well, what’s done is done. My method was probably quicker anyway.’
Alex didn’t bother fretting over it though.
His whole reason for being at the VIP gate was so that he could get into the city quicker and not have to wait in that stupidly long queue, so if he had just saved himself even more time, then he was fine with going a little overboard.
“Here.”
However out of nowhere, a third party voice suddenly spoke out to them from the sky.
Alex, Mira, the guards and everyone else who was remotely paying attention looked up to lay their eyes on the person who had just spoken.
Above the city wall, there was a burly middle aged man floating in mid air.
That’s right, floating.
“A higher life form!”
“My god…”
“I’ve never seen one in my life…”
Murmurs of shock and awe spread out among the crowd almost immediately as some of them recognised him as a higher life form, while others recognised him for who he was.
“Commander Murdock!”
The guards saluted Murdock, the commander of the city guards in charge of protecting the outer walls and gates.
He wasn’t the commander of the entire city guard, only those that protected the city from external threats.
Commander Murdock was a well known and respected B ranked higher life form among the outer city, and his classification was unknown, but he was rumoured to be Mutant class.
But even he, with his strength, wasn’t qualified to command the entire city guard.

That position belonged only to A tier individuals.
But regardless of that, Alex had his mind on other things.
Because Commander Murdock had spoken directly to him and Mira.
When he said ‘here’, he had actually directed it towards the duo and thrown two objects at them.
When they landed in Alex and Mira’s hands, they knew what they were without even having to inspect them closely.
‘VIP passes’
Alex didn’t know who this person was, but he assumed he had just saved him from going through all sorts of bureaucratic processes.
Afterall, while they had just passed the requirements to obtain a VIP pass, the city would still want to collect information about them before actually dishing out the pass to them.
But this mysterious higher life form had just saved them from going through that process.
In fact, Alex doubted going through the VIP gates on his first time would be slower than actually waiting in the 12 hour long queue…
Obviously it would be quicker for them every time after their first time registering.
While Alex was in thought, Commander Murdock gradually made his descent from the sky to land outside the city, in front of Alex and Mira.
“I haven’t seen such potential in a long time. Perhaps you’d consider joining our city guard?”
But Alex was left feeling a little complicated.
Commander Murdock walked right past him without even giving him a second glance, and instead focused all of his attention on Mira…
‘It’s because she’s Variant class and I’m not…’
Alex figured out why immediately, but that didn’t make him feel any less awkward.
Meanwhile, Mira found the whole thing hilarious.
She was so used to being in Alex’s shadow by this point that this whole experience of her receiving all the attention and Alex being left on the side lines was new and amusing to her.
“I’m sorry, but I’m not looking at joining any organisations for the time being!”
But she politely apologised to Commander Murdock, since she knew that never in a million years would she do something like join the city guard of this place.
She made sure to purposely leave her answer ambiguous by saying ‘for the time being’ though, as it might leave a bad impression on Commander Murdock if she just straight up said ‘not interested’ and left it at that.
She didn’t know of Commander Murdock’s influence in the city, and didn’t want to risk making things difficult for her and Alex if she said the wrong thing to him.
Mira wasn’t afraid of him, she could tell that Alex was stronger.
It’s just that both of them were still nobodies in this city regardless of if they held VIP passes or not.
And from the way Commander Murdock could just dish out VIP passes like that, she didn’t doubt that his authority was quite high up the food chain, which was expected for a higher life form.
“I see. Well, my offer still stands, don’t hesitate to come back to me if you ever reconsider the offer.”
Commander Murdock didn’t seem phased by Mira’s rejection at all, and only left the offer out in the open for whenever Mira felt like accepting it.
Other than that, he didn’t stay any longer and directly took to the sky once again, disappearing off into the skyline of the city.
‘Well, that was an interesting experience.’
Alex brushed it off as just another odd encounter, more joyful about the fact that they were finally able to enter the city!
