‘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
Justin was dumbfounded. Even the twin sisters trembled in shock. ‘Not only did Grandpa not get justice for Cousin, but he even slapped him again! That’s too cruel!’Seeing that the situation was not good, the two girls fled immediately. ***Lexia Rogers had a son and a daughter: they were Lance Melvis and Liyana Melvis. Soraya and Justin were Lance’s children while the Swartzes’s twins were Liyana’s children. The twins had another older brother, Nathaniel Swartz. He was about the same age as Justin, but he had made a name for himself in the business field and established a network of connections. His status in the family had also been elevated. He was the idol of the twins. After coming out of the place, they met Nathaniel.They immediately reiterated the matter with exaggeration. Nathaniel frowned as he said, “It seems like our grandfather is very concerned about his long-lost daughter, Brittany Rockefeller! He even treats her son like treasure! The two of you should be
Brittany had mental power as well. When she saw the message left behind by William, she immediately hugged Alex and burst into tears. It was true that he was not dead yet! Only God knew how she managed to survive the past six months. She felt as if the sky had suddenly collapsed. Other than her son’s affairs, there was no longer any meaning for her to survive. However, it was different now! Just like her Soul Substitute Lotus Seed that had been replaced, she regained motivation and everything became hopeful once again. After crying for a short while, Brittany suddenly said, “Your dad has gone to that unknown place all by himself. Who knows if it would be dangerous. What should he do if he faces a life-threatening danger? Or, if he’s injured and no one is there to help, then… then, what should he do? Oh, why didn’t he discuss this with me before making a decision like this? This is so worrying.” Alex said, “Mom, Dad is actually very strong. There must have been some unavoid
