She then shot her mental power into the crystal.She seemed stunned.After a long while, she retracted her mental power from the crystal and turned to Alex with an odd expression. “Look at it.”“What’s in it?”“This is… for you.”“What?” Alex was shocked.Dorothy replied, “It’s Dad’s.”Suddenly, Alex felt his chest tighten. He felt as if he was suffocating.With trembling hands, he took the crystal and slowly inserted his mental power into it.At that moment, he felt his mental power linking with someone else.Within the mental world of the crystal, he saw his father, William Rockefeller.“Oh, my son, Alex. I don’t know if you’d ever find this crystal or hear this, but if you can, that means you’re all grown now!”“Maybe you’ve figured out what’s happened here.”“If you found the teleportation circle yourself, I’d be very proud of you. You didn’t disappoint me! You’re my good son after all!”“Your mother’s sick, so take care of her for the time being. I’ll be back! We wil
“You know how to get out?”Susan was surprised. “That’s great! I really don’t want to stay here any longer. This is definitely not the same tomb that I’ve entered last time.”“Yep!” Quincy nodded in agreement. He didn’t want to stay any longer either. “We’ve risked our lives coming in here, yet we didn’t manage to get anything. This isn’t even a tomb. This... I don’t even know where we actually are now!”Zayne let out a sigh as well.He had only agreed to come because he wanted Alex to help save his godbrother. However, he didn’t mention the other reason he had come. When he last came in here, he noticed some tracks of the Drifter clan. He wanted to confirm this once more, thinking he could find the other half of the skill book.Too bad that they ended up entering another place, so it was simply impossible for him to find that book.“Let’s go!” Alex said as he led everyone as they retraced their footsteps and ended back at the place where the water brought them down.“Why ar
‘Where is this leading us to?’‘Just how long is the pillar under this platform?’After quite some time, the platform stopped moving after a loud click.Using their flashlights to light up the area, they realized they were in a dark and closed space. Suddenly, the platform started going down as the sounds of gears filled the air again, just like an automated elevator.“Get out!” Alex yelled.Everyone jumped off of the platform immediately and landed on the ground outside. The hole where the platform rose from to had closed up as well. It looked as if it had never existed in the first place.“Where are we?”“Look, there’s a coffin right there.”“This… why does this look so familiar?”As the group continued to discuss, Susan suddenly shouted. “I remember now! This is the grave that we entered last time, the actual grave that held Caesar's body!”Alex shook his head. “It’s not the real one. The previous one was. This is probably just a fake to hide the real ones from the publi
Everyone was stunned. The joy of seeing the day again earlier was frozen all of a sudden, as if it were a jammed cartridge. They saw the old man, who looked in his seventies or eighties, was dressed in a floral brocade clothing. Four younger men, who looked like bodyguards, stood behind him. On the other hand, Azure and the others were quite tragic. A dozen people were kneeling on the ground while being tied to poles behind them that were stuck on the ground. This was the hole where Susan and the others first escaped from. At that time, she put down the Broken Dragon Stone so that nobody could get in nor get out. However, when Alex got the key and gained control of the tomb, the entire tomb’s mechanism was restarted and the position of the Broken Dragon Stone was reset as well. “Who are you?” the frowned Alex asked in a cold tone. “You don’t have to know who I am. You just have to give me the key to this tomb, and your subordinates will be safe and sound.” said the elderl
“Bro Alex, I’m sorry, I…” Azure felt exceptionally embarrassed. Despite being the top person in California’s underworld, he was simply captured by several random nobodies in order to threaten Alex. It had happened several times. The feeling of being unable to control his own life and death was really terrible. “What happened?” Waltz asked. Azure told her everything. In fact, he was still confused until now and did not know the old man’s origin. They suddenly charged in and captured them when Alex and the others went into the tomb at night. Afterwards, they had been kneeling down in this place for two days and two nights. “It has been two days and two nights?” Waltz was shocked. “It’s impossible! It should only be just one night at most. How could it be two days and two nights?” “It really has been two days and two nights.” The few of them were confused.For instance, Susan Hunter and Kenneth Sunder wore a watch when they went into the tomb together. Judging from th
“What did I forget about you?” Alex was stunned for a moment. Indeed, he seemed to have forgotten something but he could not recall it in that instant. Freya reminded him. “The pill of seven poisons!” Only then did Alex suddenly realize. “Right, right! I’ve almost forgotten about you and the pill of seven poisons from the Witch Cult! But, this poison it’s a bit challenging, and I can’t help you remove it right now.” Freya’s expression froze when she heard that. Alex had helped her to cure her chronic brain disease last time. Now she had a breakthrough in her cultivation and her body was also developing for the better. All of this was granted by Alex.Hence, she truly believed Alex’s words in the tomb that he would definitely cure the poison in her. But now, he actually said that he could not do so! “You can’t say that you can’t do it! My life is in your hands now, and I can only depend on you. Otherwise, who else is going to remove the poison in me?” Freya grabbed Alex’s
Alex’s expression darkened. “Who are you? Do you have the final say in the Melvis family’s matters?” The young man sneered. “So what if I do? Now I’m telling you that you are not allowed to enter. So, get the hell out of here now!” Alex coldly said, “Tell me who your father is. Let’s see if he’s worthy of a slap from me, okay?” The twins laughed and shouted.“Cousin Justin, this guy wants to slap you!” “Right. How arrogant. We don’t care how great this guy is in California, and we’re too lazy to bother with it. But since he’s at the Melvises’ residence in Alaska, he has to follow the rules of the Melvises. How can he be so lawless? Cousin Justin, you have to establish your authority. Otherwise, the Melvis family will be snatched away by him in the future, and it will change its last name to Rockefeller!”Alex did not know who the twins were, but clearly they were the Melvises’ relatives. To his surprise, they were here stirring up the trouble, hoping for chaos to befall them.
The twins were stunned. Even Justin was dumbfounded. The woman before him who looked a lot like his sister must not be Soraya because she would never hit him. She must be a fake! Alex calmly said, “So this is your younger brother huh! You have to discipline him properly. With this temper, he won’t even know that he may get killed someday.” Justin yelled, “Get the hell out of here! Who do you think you’re?” Soraya kicked Justin hard and yelled even louder. “Shut the hell up!” Afterwards, she turned to Alex and said, “My apologies, I’ll discipline my younger brother in the future and incidents like this will never happen again. I’m sorry.” Winry and Willow widened their eyes as they slightly retracted their heads. They were afraid of getting scolded by Soraya as well. The two girls were young and they looked like university students. “Where’s my mom?” “She’s inside. Grandpa is looking after her personally.” “Alright.”As Alex raised his foot, he stepped into th
