Chapter 1209
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,

Without warning, the ship, and its crew were all gone. He fell into the lake with a splash, his face a mask of bewilderment. “Where did they go?”The same thing happened with Shaun as he was charging toward the boat. Both Zachary and the boat had mysteriously vanished as well.He gazed around but saw no trace of the boat anywhere.“This is madness!”“Shaun, did it happen to you too? Like going straight through a mirror without seeing anyone?”“Exactly! What is this trickery?” Shaun yelled, fuming.“Illusion, it must be an illusion!” Lochlan shouted as he shot up from the water, his clothes wet through and his hair a disheveled mess. “You said he was a psychic user, right? They are skilled at using illusions, so he must have created an environment of illusion, and we were caught in it!”“What are we going to do now? Glen, aren't you supposed to be an expert with mental power?” Lochlan huffed. “I had no idea that his mental strength was so powerful to the point I got caught befo

Boom...At three in the morning, the sound of Melvis manor’s door crashing down was too loud to ignore. Families from hundreds of meters away could hear it and were startled, thinking it was some explosion.Alex’s jaw dropped open.Not because of the great noise, but because of the technique that Aunt Rockefeller used. It was beautiful, with her in jeans and black boots. That kick was a perfect copy.“Aunt, what was that style called?”“Beauty's Heart Sutra.”“Ah…”“Only a woman can learn this style so you can forget about learning it, but it was beautiful, wasn't it? That technique was called Jade's Graceful Kick! Do you wanna try taking it?”“...”Arm in arm with Alex, aunt Rockefeller marched through the threshold without hesitation.Ruby Lamar was currently on the east side villa of Melvis's family home. A woman of advanced age, even though she was worried for the safety of her grandson, Tucker, her body could not withstand staying up, so she retired to her bedroom and sl
Chapter 1216
Right after the last word left her lips, a human figure shot through the room like a bolt of lightning.That human figure was Samberg, who had earlier ran to check on the door.Looking as if he had just come out of an oven, his clothes were scorched black, and his face and hair were charred.“Ahhhh!!!”“Samberg, what happened to you?”Samberg was actually a distant relative from Lexia's side of the family, and he was a relatively strong grandmaster. Even Lexia addressed him as master. But seeing him like this made people break out in a cold sweat at how strong the enemy was.Alexis, another strong grandmaster, looked to be in bad spirits as well.“Madame, the situation is bad. The enemy is powerful. It's a cultivation guru, and they even have Mr. Tucker as a hostage. There is no way the martial artists in the Melvis family can stop them. I’ll send you away from Melvis family home at once to ensure you're safe,” Samberg said in a hushed voice. “What?” Bennett Melvis started to
