After hearing what Maiko Chiba said, Alex Rockefeller scratched his head. He was put in a tight spot now.This blood pool was filled with sticky blood from black cats. There was probably even human blood from those nine resentful spirits before they died.Moreover, if Alex’s guess wasn’t wrong, those nine people could very likely be people with unique bloodlines too. They were the kind of people with activated bloodlines.The problem was that the blood pool was way too disgusting. How would an ordinary person like Alex dare to go down there?However, he came looking for this place to search for treasures.Now that Maiko seemed to have discovered a treasure down there, there was no reason for him not to get it.“Is there any way to drain the blood from this blood pool?” Alex asked.“Why don’t I have a go at it?” Maya Howards said right then.Alex nodded without refusing her suggestion.After that, he saw Maya walking up to the blood pool. She placed one hand above the blood poo
Maiko Chiba floated above the blood pool. When she saw how it turned into a huge pool of bloody ice, she felt equally amazed.Anna Coleman tried stepping onto the blood pool, and she realized that it was very firm.She wasn’t afraid of falling at all.“Mrs. Rockefeller, you really are amazing! If I had abilities like this, I’d wake up smiling from my dreams!” Anna exclaimed.Maya Howards chuckled. “You can get your master to create a set of customized cultivation techniques for you. To be honest, a technique like turning water into ice isn’t complicated!”After that, Alex Rockefeller also hopped onto the blood pool and broke it with brute force.Boom!With a single punch, he created a massive hole in the pool.Boom, boom, boom—According to the direction Maiko had pointed out earlier, Alex directly created a massive pit in the pool of frozen blood by punching it. Together, the three of them moved those cubes of frozen blood out of the way. When everyone looked at the bottom of
While Alex Rockefeller looked at the girl in the frozen coffin; he had an incomparably complicated look in his eyes.He felt shocked, nostalgic, hurt, or perhaps even a little bit of everything.Maya Howards and Anna Coleman both looked at Alex in surprise. “Are you sure? Did you mistake her for someone else? This… This girl that’s hidden underneath the blood pool… Is she really your high school classmate?”Alex nodded once more. “I can’t be wrong. She is indeed my high school classmate. She even sat next to me back then,” Alex said.“This is honestly… Way too unbelievable,” Anna said.Maya, on the other hand, noticed that the girl’s name was Hayley Hanson.Meanwhile, the owner of Quois Haven also had Hanson as his surname.“This means she really is Papa Hanson’s biological daughter!” Maya exclaimed.“But why did he keep her here?” she asked.This was the part Maya couldn’t quite figure out.Being an attentive person, Anna could see rows of words on all four sides of the froz
Without Hayley Hanson keeping an eye on him, Alex Rockefeller probably wouldn’t even have made it into a third-rate university.To be honest, being watched over by someone was a sort of happiness on its own.That was probably what “young love” referred to!“Alex, what happened to you?” Maya Howards saw Alex behaving oddly, and she saw a tear falling down his cheeks. For some unknown reason, her heart ached. She rarely saw Alex in such a state.Meanwhile, Anna Coleman, being the tigress she was, started speaking straightforwardly. “Hey, master. What’s wrong with you? Why are you crying?”Maya glared at Anna.A single glare was enough to make Anna freeze. Anna was actually feeling afraid. She then obediently kept her mouth shut.“She sat next to me in class! Since the first day of senior high, we’ve sat next to each other for three years. Three months before the university entrance exam, she suddenly disappeared. She’s… a very good friend of mine!” Alex said.Maya fell silent, a
Alex Rockefeller was stunned for a moment. He immediately grabbed the journal away from Anna Coleman.However, the first thing that came into sight was a picture.It was a picture of himself and Hayley Hanson.At the time, he had sprawled all over the desk in class while he napped. Hayley moved her head close and used her phone to take a selfie of the two of them. When Alex saw this, he couldn’t even recall when she had taken this photo. She even printed it out.In fact, there were a few words behind the photo. “Me and pig-head!”When Alex looked at the journal again, he felt even more mixed emotions.Hayley had started writing this journal when they entered the third year of senior high. Every journal entry she wrote included the word “pig-head.” If there wasn’t a photo as proof, and if Alex had seen the journal on its own, he wouldn’t even know what “pig-head” represented.Anna looked at Alex with a strange expression. “Master, it turns out that she’s not just the classmate wh
When Alex Rockefeller turned around, he discovered that Maya Howards had also come down.Maya could feel what Alex was feeling. She walked over and pulled him into her arms. “If you feel like crying, go ahead! I know how much harder it is to forget your first love, not to mention bidding farewell under such circumstances.”At first, Alex felt heartbroken. However, after being gently approached by Maya like this, and smelling her strong fragrance, all his emotions from before disappeared. “I don’t want to cry! She isn’t exactly my first love. It ended before it even began,” Alex said.But was this what he really thought?Comparing Hayley Hanson and Lady Dorothy Assex, who was more important to him?Alex actually didn’t have an answer!“I didn’t think Papa’s daughter would be your first love,” Maya said.“Let’s go! She’s been affected by the Blood Curse. However, I know nothing about this kind of curse. If we want to rescue her, we must start with the Blood Cult! Unfortunately, th
“Documents?”“What documents? Do you mean the documents in this document holder?”A few of the shareholders came to their senses. They quickly opened the document holder in front of them and took out pieces of paper from within. After fixing their eyes on the documents, their expressions changed drastically at the same time.This was indeed similar to what happened to Paige Rockefeller.These documents contained all the records of bribery involving these shareholders during their time in the company. There was solid proof of all their wrongdoings. Apart from that, there were also records of crimes they had committed in the last ten years.For example, there was the shareholder who complained the most, Leslie Wolvendom.Although he wasn’t involved in many bribery cases, he molested a few young girls using lowly means three years ago. There was solid evidence of those incidents, and on top of that, he even hired someone to break another person’s legs and threatened the victim’s fam
He would always bring Winniefred to walk around the area.The little girl was a big foodie. She would eat everything, everywhere. Her mouth just wouldn’t seem to stop eating. She would usually just stand still and drool, especially after she noticed any ice cream stall.“After having ice cream, you have to go to school tomorrow, alright?” Alex gave her a lecture. Waltz had arranged for her to attend the best kindergarten in California owned by Thousand Miles Conglomerate.However, the little girl would keep clinging to Alex, even during sleep.Last night, she even had an idea of having Alex, herself, and Zella sleep on the same bed. “Other little kids have their parents sleep next to them. But Winnie never got to. Now that I have Papa, why can’t I sleep with Papa and Mama then?” she said.This made Alex and Zella behave extremely awkwardly with each other.Not wanting to crush the little girl’s hope, Alex slept on Winniefred’s right.However, he didn’t expect to fall asleep
