Chapter 414: The second floor is free
Schnee guided Alex through many streets, soon revealing a vast village to her beloved. It seemed empty and lifeless, yet Alex could find cats soundlessly sleeping in various places…
He surely wouldn’t have found those cats had it been not for the sun-loving cats.
They didn’t really matter, though.
Schnee stood before a wooden house that was relatively small, “Grandpa has been living here alone ever since he lost his wife, my grandma.”
“I see,” Alex nodded. He wondered why someone of Schnee’s grandpa status would live in a small house, but now he knew the answer. He felt even worse, knowing that Schnee would cause problems and disturb the man’s sleep.
After casually opening the doors, Schnee and Alex stepped into the small house. They immediately fixed their eyes on a sleeping cat with blue fur. His fur seemed rough and darkened, clearly because of his old age and battle experiences.
The cat still looked pretty cute, though. He slept soundlessly on a rocking chair.
Schnee crept her way toward the blue cat, her hands behind her back. She leaned down, her massive chest dropping on the cat, “Pervert grandpa!”
“Who the fuck is pervert?!”
The cat’s golden eyes snapped, his tail going erect. He jumped on the chair, then lifted his eyes, those rippled with shock as he saw the smiling face of his granddaughter, then indignation bloomed within those jewels!
He hissed at Schnee, then his tail elongated, slapping her cheek quietly but strongly, “Ya dare to call me pervert?!”
Schnee raised her hand, covering her reddened cheek, “Grandpa is into BDSM… And he wants to do it with his granddaughter! So unholy… Sob! Sob! Sob!”
The blue cat shivered, his fur turning into spikes. His tail once again moved toward the annoying and disrespectful lass.
But then, Schnee uttered words that stopped the old man, “Darling, save me!”
“There’s a sane person to date this unfilial granddaughter?” the old man swept through his house, finding Alex relatively fast. He narrowed his eyes, scanning the young man. He was surprised to see that Alex sported profound strength and composure despite his level.
And as Alex also felt like Schnee had gone overboard, the old man saw an ally in Alex, which was a pleasant surprise.
“Hello,” Alex awkwardly bowed his head, then continued, “I’m Alexander Deathwill Mao, and I am indeed dating your granddaughter.”
Schnee added, “He’s my darling who can turn me really docile!”
“I don’t need your comments,” the old cat glared at Schnee before retracting his eyes to Alex. He jumped off his chair and then went to the table, still in the cat form.
He didn’t think too much about Alex’s surname or status. His granddaughter had a clear example of what kind of a person Elias Deathwill was. And just because Alex shared the same surname, it didn’t mean he would be the same.
Besides, Schnee wasn’t that stupid, was she?
The old cat saw that she was happy despite his anger clouding his eyes, so he was content with everything except her greetings.
He then sat like a cat boss on the table, his paws joined, and his tail halted. He arched his head back, then glanced into Alex’s eyes.
As he was at a table, they were closer and had a much better look at each other.
“Since you are my granddaughter’s man, you are free to call me Old Conrad. While I’m pleased that she’s not alone and in seemingly good hands, the clan rules are clan rules. I can’t let you stay here if you’ve come here empty-handed.” Conrad diligently followed his clan’s rules.
In the past, he also had to pay for his mistakes and the mistakes of the youth, so there was no way he would let Schnee return without a price. He was sure that the patriarch would also pressure Schnee, even if he were to protect her.
And that would be a mistake, for Old Conrad felt ominous clouds a few times.
“I have brought cat food from my world,” Alex smiled brightly, but inwardly, he was immensely nervous. He didn’t know whether his introduction present was even comparable to what he had given to Danielle and Auberon.
But that was cat food of the highest quality!
“Cat food?” the old cat narrowed his eyes.
Alex quickly added, “It’s an introduction present to celebrate our kinship. As for the treasures to pay back for all mistakes…”
Three treasures from Deathwill Castle had appeared on the table next to the old cat. Conrad scanned them with his experienced eyes, feeling the profound mana and quality, which was enough.
Those high-quality items would satisfy everyone, and no one should have problems with Schnee returning home with her beloved. Even if his daughter returned, no one should complain.
Those items had spent years in Deathwill Castle’s treasury, so the system had polished them further. It was hard to pick up items for cats since Alex wanted to bring something useful for them.
Schnee helped him pick pieces of equipment, too.
“I’m not in a mood to rest, so I shall take a bite,” Conrad said, his eyes fixed on the can of the cat food from Earth. Using his strength, he popped it open without touching it, then dropped his kitty head.
After taking the first bite, the old man trembled, “Is this what we have been waiting for? A purpose of our race?!”
Schnee narrowed her eyes, looking at her grandpa with disappointment as his old face had already been digging the cat food. She never found this food good and only tried it because Alex wanted to buy it.
Perhaps, it was because of her human side, but Schnee didn’t like cat food.
On the other hand, her grandpa… “This is heaven!”
“No, this is your home,” Schnee spoke in a low and disgruntled voice, “And our clan’s purpose can’t be to enjoy food…”
“What do you know? It might be it!” Conrad replied, not even sparing her a glance. His ravenous and bold way of eating was amusing at first, but even Alex started getting worried as the old man kept eating…
Schnee utterly lost a mood for jokes, “Since grandpa enjoys himself, we also should do the same. Let’s fuck in his house! Hehe! He will get mad.”
Conrad heard her, however, “Sure thing. You can take a room on the second floor.” He spoke while munching on the food, which made him sound funny.
Schnee’s little mouth parted widely, and she couldn’t believe her ears.
Alex stood with his comical expression, not really knowing whether he had expected something like that or perhaps he had imagined the introduction differently.
