‘Why would he have such a precious pill?’‘Could he be an incomparably noble alchemist? But how could such a young, profound alchemist exist in the world?’Khloe Yggdrasill looked at Alex Rockefeller. “You… Why do you have such a pill?” she asked.“Is this pill enough to buy Dory’s freedom?” Alex Rockefeller asked.“You… You want to use this pill to purchase Dory’s freedom?” Khloe asked.“What’s the matter? Do you think it’s too little?” Alex asked.“…”How could it be too little?This was a limit-breaking pill!Never mind Dory, it was more than enough to buy Khloe off too.Khloe didn’t even look at Dory. She immediately nodded. “Alright. Dory is yours.”Alex waved his hand. “In that case, leave. Without my permission as the owner, don’t ever step into my house.” Khloe wanted to say something, but she stopped herself.However, her mind was focused entirely on the limit-breaking pill in her hand. This was a significant matter. She needed to return and inform her grandfathe
“Brother, I think I should go instead.” Dylan smiled.Kavan frowned. “Are you worried that I’d make the treasure my own, big brother?”“Why would you? And why would I think that? But I’ve been to that house, and I’ve seen that punk. It’ll be easier for me to carry this out. I’ll just go in your stead.”Lauren then spoke up. “Oh, Kavan, you’re usually pretty clumsy, you know? This is a treasure left by an expert, so it’s not a simple task. Just let your brother do this, just in case. You can stay here and wait for the good news.”The two brothers and the woman kept bickering over this to the point they almost started fighting.“Enough!”“I’m not dead yet, you know? I’ll personally take up the task!” Shawn determined. “Khloe, follow me to capture that punk later in the evening.”“Grandpa, uhm… you won’t kill him, right?” Khloe asked“That depends on how much he’s willing to cooperate,” Shawn replied.***Just as the Yggdrasills had made up their minds to deal with Alex at night
Alex was appalled.‘That’s way too expensive, isn’t that?’‘Ugh... If I’d known, I wouldn’t have given it to Khloe.’Staring at the tower, Alex felt uninterested. Blood energy pills were among the lowest-ranked pills. They didn’t even have enough carats. However, ordinary people could consume blood energy pills without having trained in cultivation. Hence, that pill became a necessity for anyone who wanted to begin cultivating.*** At the time, Shawn and Khloe had arrived at Alex’s place.Rushing into the manor, both wore black suits and masked themselves. To their demise, they couldn’t find Alex. There wasn’t even anyone in there.“Could they have received news and ran away?” Shawn was enraged. He swore to obtain the treasure Alex held. If he ran away, it meant they’d lose an extremely rare opportunity.“That’s impossible! Where could he have run to?” Khloe asked.Although she really didn’t want such a thing, she was still a businesswoman. Moreover, her face was scarred; h
Alex frowned. This woman was obviously one of the employees of the accessory store.‘We should still be considered customers the moment we step in. How could she treat us like that?’Alex’s gaze turned cold. “Has your boss not taught you that the customer is always right? As an employee, how dare you sneer at us customers? Have you gone mad?”Upon hearing this, Dory’s expression changed.Her face lost all color as she pulled Alex back. The store was called Treasure Trove, one of the Usoro family’s businesses within Starborn City. Causing a scene here would be very unwise.Half of the Usoro family’s wealth had been taken by the Remedy Palace, only because the head of their family wanted to find a cure.However, now that its head was still alive, he managed to bring the family back up to its feet, in fact, pushing it to even greater heights.Hence, the Usoro family was still the wealthiest and most powerful family within Starborn City, far greater than the Yggdrasill family in man
“Keep dreaming if you think you’d escape!”“Let’s kill this servant first!”The guards pulled the wheelchair back in extremely aggressively. One of them even swung their fist towards Dory.Compared to this male guard in Treasure Trove, Dory was extremely weak. She even forgot to dodge in the face of the punch. All she knew was to shriek in fear. “Ahhh!!!”Bam!As white light filled her vision, Dory felt her entire face being splattered with blood as the guard’s head flew mid-air.Alex held his child in one hand while holding the Sword of Universe in the other.He wasn’t even pushing the wheelchair himself, yet the chair moved slowly forward.“Dory, wait for me outside.” Alex’s calm voice rang in Dory’s ears. It just seemed unreal.Not only did Alex kill Lily, he even killed a guard in this store. As surprised as she was, she was even more frightened… ‘We’re up against the Usoro family now!’‘We’re actually done for!’‘We’re dead, oh we’re so dead! The Usoros would never
Dory reacted in such a way because that woman was Frostine Usoro, the most vicious woman within the Usoro family. She had killed numerous people, even decimating more than five families in Starborn City on her own. None of her targets had survived, not even their livestock or pets. Her methods were so cruel that they would invoke nightmares just by hearing about it.There was a saying within the city—better provoke the Grim Reaper than provoke the Venom!]The Venom was this woman in front of their eyes, Frostine.“The Venom Widow?” Alex asked as he stared at the young woman on the stairway.It was then that Alex’s expression softened because he was able to feel his father’s Chi on this woman.At the very same time, Frostine looked at Alex with the intensest of eyes, as if looking at… a relative.Such intensity made Alex’s face feel like it was burning up.However, the people in the store didn’t notice the change in their expressions. The leader immediately reported to Frosti
Everyone was shocked once more.‘Why would Venom Widow give such an order? What did that even mean?’No one could tell what she was trying to do.***Upstairs, the more Alex stared at Frostine, the more curious he got.He initially thought that this woman was wearing some sort of mystical tool that his father had made. Yet upon further observation, it was no tool but Chi coming from inside of the woman’s body. But Alex couldn’t put his finger on what their connection was.‘Could she… have done something with Dad?’‘And she’s now pregnant with Dad’s child?’‘I really can’t think of any other explanations.’However, he noticed that Frostine wasn’t pregnant after using his Third Eye.“You’re Alex Rockefeller, right? Then… Do you know someone called William Rockefeller?” Frostine asked before Alex could say anything.Alex nodded and put on a weird expression. “Yeah, he’s my father.”Frostine covered her mouth with her hand, seemingly overwhelmed. “This… this is just great.”Al
“Uhm—”Alex looked at Frostine. “They’re here for me. I killed them.”Frostine huffed coldly. “You just killed Lily. What’s the big deal about that? Ugh, my sixth sister-in-law had always been rude and insolent. I’ve been waiting to teach her a lesson for ages. Come on. I’ll stand up for you.”“I can…”“Don’t be scared. I’ve got your back.”“I’m not…”“Exactly! That’s the spirit, good boy!”The woman held Bubbles in her arms and gave Alex a sloppy kiss on his cheek, leaving some saliva on it as well. After that, she grabbed his wheelchair with one hand and went downstairs.At the time, everyone was crowding up once more, watching the sixth madame of the Usoro family, who was also Lily’s aunt. They gossiped among themselves—“The killer has been captured by the Fifth Lady! She brought him upstairs. I’m guessing he’s dead at this point!”“Ah, I pity him. Venom Widow must be experimenting on him!”“I really want to see how she carries out her experiments, you know? Could it be
