“I don’t know how you and your mother managed to survive, but that’s really all I know… Ah!!! Stop twisting the dagger, please! My leg’s going to be cut off!” Tucker screamed.That was because Waltz was still holding a dagger this whole while.With this, everyone was shocked.Maya turned to look at Alex. “What he said might not be true. To be honest, I don’t believe a thing he said.”Alex shook his head. “He’s not lying.”Using his Third Eye, he was able to determine if Tucker was lying. If Tucker’s mental power was abnormally strong, he couldn’t have been able to hide this. However, Alex could tell that his mental power was that of a mere average person.Tucker replied. “Yeah, I wasn’t lying. So may I please go?”“What do you think?” questioned Alex.The pain was simply intolerable. Tucker kneeled to the ground with his remaining strength. “Cousin, I really am hurting a lot. Please just let me go. I’m your relative, am I not? I’m sorry! I was wrong to have come to California
Nick Seay was the third son of Murro Seay, the third brother in the family. He was merely a rich little brat that didn’t excel in studies or work. The Seays had given him more chances than one, but all that effort only proved useless. Eventually, they stopped trying to help him, giving up on him and completely sidelining him.However, since he was still part of the Seay family, he had seen Zachary before. Nick knew that Zachary was one of the Four Great Guardians of Divine Constabulary, one of Geronimo’s underlings.‘Isn’t he one of us then?’Hence, he immediately started shouting for help as soon as he recognized him.Little did he know, Alex was the one who had called Zachary over.When Zachary entered the room, he completely ignored Nick’s words. Nick even tried moving toward him by wheelchair, yet Zachary kicked him away and walked over to the others. As he noticed Tucker’s situation, he was shocked but turned to Alex instead and asked, “Alex! Are you okay?”‘What?’Ni
Tucker froze.‘This is good, isn’t it?’‘If I told my father about this, he’d definitely show up with the strongest force we have in our family! What am I scared of then?’He immediately agreed. However, as Tucker took his phone out, Zachary snatched it out of his hands.Zachary pulled Alex aside and whispered. “Alex, I think you should think further ahead into planning. The Melvis family aren’t weaklings. Their power really is something else. If you tried to have him call Bennett now, he would bring along his strongest forces. This will cause a huge commotion!”“What do you suggest then?”“We should wait! Wait until the president is done training. He’ll definitely bring justice for you both! As for what you did to Tucker, I’ll help mediate the situation.”“I can’t wait any longer!” Alex said as he released his pressuring aura to his surroundings.Although Zachary was a half-step Grandmaster, he still felt like a giant mountain was crushing him.He only managed to regain balan
Ruby currently lived in the largest room of the Melvis manor in Alaska since she was Geronimo’s first wife. It was situated on the east side of the manor’s fourth floor. At the time, her room was brightly lit up.Ruby, in her late seventies, wasn’t asleep yet. She was waiting for good news, waiting for her grandson to call her to say that Lush Cosmetics had been obtained successfully.Geronimo had three wives, with Ruby his first and Lexia his second. Yvonne was the one he loved the most, so, Ruby had plotted schemes just so she could chase her out. Ruby had been controlling the entire family for many years, wanting to inherit the Divine Constabulary. However, the Divine Constabulary had always strived on martial arts and credits. Hence, it didn’t matter if Bennet had been working as the general manager for decades. It was simply impossible that he would end up president.On the other hand, Lexia put all her focus into managing businesses.She had been doing quite well these ye
Bennett was stunned. “Tucker, what happened? What’s wrong? Where’s Shadow?”Just then, a man’s voice came from the other end of the line. “Shadow’s dead, and I’m holding your son hostage. Come meet me in the middle of Moonlight Lake in California before twelve. I’ll be waiting for you there, but for every minute you’re late for the meeting, I’ll chop off one of your son’s fingers.”The man who spoke was Alex, crushing the phone into dust as soon as he said everything he wanted to.“Hey! Who are you? I said, who are you? Hey…” Bennett started panicking, yelling, and screaming with all his might.However, Tucker’s phone was ruined before he could reply.Ruby and Bailey jumped, asking him, “What happened? What did Tucker say?”Bennett’s eyes were starting to redden. “Tucker’s been held hostage. Shadow’s dead too! Someone told us to save him in the middle of Moonlight Lake before twelve. He even said that he’d chop off one of his fingers for every minute we are late.”“What?”“How
Hearing that sentence coming from Aunt Rockefeller made Alex's heart skip a beat.There were no doubts about Aunt Rockefeller’s beauty.It was in the way she carried herself where not even the richest of the rich and famous could ever hope to reach that air of confidence.She was like the clouds on the horizon, stained with soft hues and ever-changing, never to be captured or controlled, so everyone could only admire and adore such beauty.She could play the part of the cool and the sophisticated, as well as being sweet and pretty. Sometimes she was a joy to be around, but at other times, drive someone up a wall.“S-stop joking around like that!” Alex quickly broke eye contact.“Heh, obviously, I was kidding. I’m your aunt, after all! Don’t ever let me catch you thinking about anything along those lines, or you’ll be in for a bashing!”As the two continued to bicker, Zachary followed them on another boat. He was tense and nervous for Alex, like walking on a tightrope.He had ju
Alex smiled but remained silent.***It was eleven in the noon when a helicopter took off from California airport, heading straight to Moonlight Lake.On the flight sat Soraya Melvis, Shaun Baker of the Four Great Guardians, and a grandmaster from the Melvis family named Lochlan, and two half-stepped Grandmasters.The Melvis family spared no effort in looking for Tucker.“Come on. There’s one hour left. Maybe we can still make it!” Soraya said.She cared because it was her cousin that had been kidnapped.“Miss Soraya, there’s no need to panic. It only takes 20 minutes to arrive at Moonlight lake by chopper. We still have time to recon the area!” Shaun laughed. “Glen, you’re too serious. We’re both grandmasters. Along with two half-stepped grandmasters, no place is off-limits to us. You know, it’s weird how Bennett himself didn’t come along. Doesn't he want to save his son’s life?” “My uncle says he has an important meeting tonight, so he had no choice but to stay behind,” So
“What? Zachary, why are you here too?”Soraya was beyond shocked at the situation at hand. It was completely different from what she had imagined.Lochlan, who recognized Zachary, immediately stopped and furrowed his brows. “Zachary, what kind of mediator are you? Does that mean you know the kidnapper too?”“He’s no kidnapper but the elder of the Divine Constabulary. He is also the maternal grandson of the president of the constabulary!” Zachary stated.Zachary was worried that chaos might ensue, especially since Alex and Shaun’s scuffle was still fresh.This first meeting really left no room for avoiding conflict.“What?” Soraya gasped, unable to process this information.Everyone else fell silent.‘If Ruby Lamar were to find out about Soraya failing to plan an assassination with a group thanks to Zachary’s words, what would her reaction be?’However, never could she have predicted that Zachary would be, of all places, here.Shaun harrumphed, unphased by his words. “Zachary,
