So, when Alice heard Alex\'s words, her mood instantly drained.

"Why…." Alice was about to ask something, but she stopped when she saw Alex looking at her with a frown on his face.

"When did I lie?" Alex asked with a frown.

A guy who hates lying would never like someone accusing him of lying, and Alex was just that type of guy.

"Huh?" Alice looked at Alex as her frown deepened.

\'Does he want to deny it as well?\'

"Tell me."

Alex demanded as if he could tell what Alice was thinking.

Alice\'s body jerked a bit as she heard Alex\'s voice.

"…. You said that you didn\'t have any stealing ability," Alice replied in a low voice.

"When did I say I didn\'t have a stealing ability?" Alex spoke and before Alice could reply, he added.

"What I said was that \'I am not someone who killed him to steal his ability\', I never said that \'I didn\'t have a stealing ability\'."

As Alex\'s words settled in her mind, Alice finally realized what he meant.

\'He never lied?\'

\'I was the one who was making things up….?\'

Alice started realizing her mistake and she realized that she was blaming Alex for something he didn\'t even do.

"I am sorry…." Alice held her head down as she apologized to Alex.

She was now feeling guilty for even doubting him.

"Sigh…."

Alice heard a sigh before she felt a hand patting her head.

Alice looked up and found Alex shaking his head with a smile.

"Here I was thinking of how you would react and the thing that you spoke about first was that…..." Alex spoke.

He had thought that Alice might get suspicious or start questioning about her bother and other things, but he never thought that her question would be so out of his guess.

Alice could tell that Alex was not angry anymore so she smiled as well.

"What did you think I would ask?"

"Well, I thought you would ask whether I stole your brother\'s ability or something like that," Alex replied to Alice\'s question.

"But you already told me that you didn\'t do it, so why would I ask that?" Alice replied with a shrug.

Alex paused for a bit before he smiled and pulled her into a hug.

"Yeah, my bad."

Alex said as he patted her head that was now on his chest.

\'Hehe…\' Alice giggled inwardly as she hugged Alex\'s waist.

[I guess you can overthink as well….]

Sophia commented inside Alex\'s head and Alex just shrugged.

\'You can\'t blame me, I\'m a bit sensitive when it comes to them.\'

Alex spoke inwardly as the faces of Ann, Alice, and Noctura flashed in his eyes, but then Lily\'s face flashed as well.

But it flashed for less than a microsecond, the interval was so short that Alex didn\'t even notice it.

He won\'t give a shit about the world\'s opinion of him, but he does care about the opinion of the people he cares for, and Alice was one of them.

[I know, I was just saying.]

\'I know that as well, and I was also just saying,\' Alex replied and shrugged again.

But then Alice suddenly separated from Alex and looked into his eyes.

Her expression was that of realization as if she had realized something important.

"You have stealing ability, so that means that you can steal abilities, right?" Alice questioned and Alex replied.

"Of course, that\'s why it\'s called stealing ability."

"So, have you used it on someone yet?" Alice asked again.

"Yes, many times," Alex replied with a smile.

"… On humans?" Alice asked with some hesitation.

She was not against it, but she just wanted to know.

"Some, yeah," Alex replied.

"They attacked you?" Alice asked again.

She didn\'t have any problem with Alex\'s stealing abilities, but she at least didn\'t want to see him killing some random people for that.

After all, it is said that people with stealing abilities kill their victims after they are done stealing.

"Yeah," Alex replied again with a simple one-word answer.

"Can you tell me, who they were?" Alice asked again with a bit of hope in her eyes.

"The assassins that attacked me, and…."

Alex replied as he looked at her mysteriously before he waved his hand.

Alice kept looking at Alex in confusion as she didn\'t get what Alex was trying to do and Alex also didn\'t point it out and waited for her to realize it.

It didn\'t take more than a second for Alice\'s eyes to widen as she saw a bird that was about to pass through Alex\'s head was paused mid-air.

Then Alice hurriedly looked at the surroundings only to find everything frozen.

She didn\'t know how much area was paused like this, but she could tell that it was more than 500 meters.

She then turned back to Alex with shock and amazement on her face.

"Is that…." She didn\'t complete her words but Alex did.

"Stephan\'s ability? Yes, it is."

"When did you steal it?" Alice quickly asked.

Stephan was supposed to have died at the hands of the mysterious group, but was it not true?

\'Did Alex kill Stephan?\'

Alice thought inwardly.

\'Maybe it was one of the times he went out alone, he tends to do things mysteriously after all,\' Alice sighed inwardly.

She didn\'t feel bad or anything, she was just curious, right now.

"At the time he tried to attack us," Alex replied to Alice, but Alice was shocked again.

"At that time?! But that was so long ago…." Alice exclaimed but her voice turned low at the end as she remembered how long it had been.

"Yeah, at that time," Alex nodded his head.

"How did no one notice it? How did Stephan not notice it? And if he did, why did he not do something about it?"

Alice asked one question after another.

"All right, calm down, one question at a time. So, let\'s start with the first one…."

Alex patted her head as he spoke with a nod before he started explaining things about his ability and how it worked, along with the reason why Stephan never noticed this all to Alice.

Alice listened to Alex\'s every word intently as she sat next to Alex again, letting him hug her waist as she rested her head on his chest.

Just like that, some more time passed as they kept talking about Alex\'s ability and ways to use it.

Alex would sometimes squeeze Alice\'s waist that he was holding, causing Alice to lower her head.

Before they could realize it, it was already 7 pm, and it was about time that they ended the date and returned back home.
