A rapid fire round was going on in the Gray household with Alex's wives bombing Lucielle and Nicole with any and every type of question.
Questions such as what's your favourite food to what's your favourite spot to get touched by Alex were common and there was no limit to anything.
Lucielle and Nicole both were big shots. They had been through a lot of tough situations in life but never once did they come across such a stressful one.
At one moment they were sweating buckets while at the other, they found themselves smiling and answering happily. It was really strange.
All the girls here were of different personalities. Some were serious on the outside and perverted on the inside like Fate and Melissa, while some were full blown perverts like Lumina.
There were really only a few serious ones. Two of the few being Athena and Aqua.
The perverts asked perverted questions while the serious girls asked serious questions.
In both cases, Nicole and Lucielle found themselves sweating.
The only times they truly were able to relax was when Scarlett or Nix were asking a question. Those two were really carefree and their questions were simple as well.
Despite the many questions though, not once did Nicole or Lucielle feel uncomfortable in the presence of these girls. They really enjoyed this company and thus answered everything.
Being with these girls was so comfortable, both of them felt that even while getting blessed by Gods might not be this good.
They both had a good time here and once their questionnaire was done, Lucielle happily made a bank account for all girls here in the states and Nicole provided them with IDs that could get them out of legal trouble each and every time.
Lucielle had a chat with Nix as well and knowing that she was a Swiss banker surprised her.
Lucielle tried to offer a position in her company, but Nix politely declined and stated that she had other plans.
Lucielle felt a bit dejected, but Nix then explained that the current bank she was working with, it would soon have some problems and taking over it won't be difficult.
Nix could do it herself, but she offered Lucielle an opportunity instead.
Nix would help Lucielle acquire the bank and make it a part of the LCB group. Whatever profits they then make, Nix would take a big cut from it each year. If Lucielle was okay with it, they could seal the deal.
And of course… Lucielle was pretty interested as it was a really good offer. That Swiss bank was one of the world's greatest banks. Not the one with most assets like the LCB or anything, but they catered to only the richest in the world and provided them with great benefits. They had some deep connections after all.
Acquiring them meant being able to connect with the rich guys, which were usually strong and influential Blesseds. This was a big win in Lucielle's books.
As for the cut Nix was asking, Lucielle didn't care even if it was a big amount. Nix was her family now and this was the least she could do for her.
The deal was done and both were happy.
Nicole on the other hand found herself being surrounded by a few girls, who, although were adults, seemed no different than teenagers to her. They were asking a bunch of different things about her private life and she was answering them all.
The questions weren't too personal or private, they were merely curiosity these guys were showing after finding out that she was their new sister.
The harem was in harmony and these guys partied till late in the night.
Once that was finished, Lucielle went home and checked up on Alex.
Her lover boy had reached Jordan and was on a search to find a girl called Natasha.
Nicole had used her connections and tried to find her whereabouts, but none were available so far. It was a pity, but it was alright.
Alex's search had turned into a vacation as he went to Petra as everything from hotels to pick up and drop was free for him. This was all done by Lucielle as she not only had the banking sector in her palms, but also things related to tourism.
Plus, the branches of her bank were in all corners of the world. They had a lot of influence and she could easily get Alex such benefits.
A week eventually passed with Alex searching for Natasha in Jordan. He made his way towards Algeria slowly and looked for her whereabouts in the countries he was travelling through.
After Jordan was Israel where he went and searched in the outskirts of Jerusalem.
Jerusalem was crowded with a lot of devotees and Natasha would not be finding anything noteworthy in such crowded places. The capital was thus skipped and only the outer areas were searched.
In the next two weeks, Alex went through Egypt and searched that place to the best of his abilities.
He, Samuel, Carl, and Jagan were out in the sun for so long that they had developed a tan. Being a doctor, Alex couldn't ignore it and they all began using sunscreens and looked like idiots with a heavy coating of sunscreen on them.
It was at around this point that Alex was bombarded with messages from home. The wives were saying that they missed him and wanted to see him while his parents also mentioned that David and Isla weren't angry with him anymore and they wanted to see him.
Alex understood from this that those two were angry at first by knowing his relationship with their daughter and now they were relaxed. Things should be peaceful then, thought Alex.
The wives had also mentioned that they liked Lucielle and Nicole, the new members. They also asked Alex to get them new sisters while on his way back so they could have more people to party.
Alex was obviously dumbfounded, but he ignored this for now and focused on his mission.
At this point around, he got an encrypted message from Nicole stating that she found out exactly who Alex was looking for. Through the US intelligence report, it was found out that she was in a deserted region of Libya.
Once the coordinates were shared, Alex immediately got a call stating that the private jet was ready.
After a plane and then a helicopter ride, all sponsored by Lucielle, Alex and his party were now in a desert jeep, on their way to the coordinates shared.
The jeep was being driven by a local guy and with his superb off-road driving abilities, Alex and his party reached the coordinates in a matter of a few hours.
Even though this place was within a desert, it contained more of a rocky terrain and plant life such as a few cactuses growing here and there.
Alex and his party searched around this place and eventually….
They stumbled across a graveyard in the middle of nowhere.
The graveyard had many tombstones present here and they were all Egyptian-styled ones with a lot of inscriptions on them.
It was honestly a bit of a scary experience to suddenly find a graveyard in this place and looking around, Carl found something and called the rest.
There was a tombstone that was literally flipped. It seemed freshly done so and naturally, Alex and his party flipped the tombstone again to see what there was.
Upon flipping, a chilling shriek pierced their ear drums and made their heart beat rapidly. Carl was so scared that he almost pissed himself while Samuel and Jagan were shivering.
Jagan called out his God's name a few times and then he got better while Samuel was feeling paranoid and asked if there were ghosts here or something.
In any case, once the tombstone was flipped, there seemed to be riddles written on it. They were more like instructions and deciphering it was something only a scholar proficient in the ancient language could do.
Since there was no scholar here like that, Alex decided to ask for help, which was usually his wives now.
He had around twenty something wives now, maybe one of them knew something? I mean, they were all Gods so this should be easy to decipher, right?
Alex was not the least bit ashamed to take help like this. He used the special type of satellite phone given to him by Nicolle and called Melissa.
They did a video call and surprisingly, one of his wives with white hair and golden eyes called Athena actually knew of these things.
She mentioned what the riddles were and then answered them to Alex.
The answers were more like clues of a puzzle and all Alex and his party had to do was shift the tombstones here and there in this graveyard.
Once they finished doing so, they felt a tremor and immediately, a staircase leading to who knows where popped up in the middle of the graveyard.
Athena wished her husband the best of luck and then disconnected the call.
Alex and his party were now staring at this staircase that seemed to be leading towards the abyss.
Gulping nervously, Samuel said, "Amigo… let's not."
