Pepper’s heart jumped in shock. However, she still pretended to be innocent, crying as she said, “I… I really didn’t mean to. It’s Mr. Rockefeller… he forced himself on me.”Anna smiled coldly as she said, “Oh really? Can Mr. Rockefeller actually force himself on you? Even if ten clones of this guy were to force themselves on you, I’m sure you can beat them up easily with one hand. You’re an Intermediate-Royal ranked fighter. You really put up a good act by pretending as a weak little lady. Look at your face. To think an average woman like her could scratch your face to this state, your acting really is top tier.”Pepper’s eyes twitched. “Who are you?”Anna replied, “I’m from Divine Constabulary, I’m here to ask you a few questions, come with me!”Pepper’s expression instantly darkened as she finally realized that her identity had been exposed.In the next second, she forcefully swung her palm toward Anna. Her skills as an Intermediate-Royal ranked fighter were immediately reveale
“Pepper Kimmich, you are insane! Let go of my father!” Noah yelled with reddened eyes. However, realizing that Pepper was unmoved, he hurriedly called out to John, “John, hurry and have your woman let go of Dad! What is she trying to do?”Everyone started screaming in panic as well.John took in a deep breath. “Pepper, let go of my dad. Let’s talk through this.”Deigning to even look at him, Pepper’s eyes were fixated on Alex as she said, “You really have surprised me. Looks like your father, William Rockefeller, really did solve that secret and handed it to you. He managed to deceive everyone.”Alex was taken aback. “What secret?”Pepper smiled. “Don’t act like you don’t know. How else would an average heir like you gain such power all of a sudden? Are you trying to say that you’re possessed? You’ve been slaving away for the Assexes for the past ten months, enduring their beatings and insults like a sore loser. In fact, you were just hiding your abilities, stalling time to secret
Alex paid no attention to John’s insults.Looking at Bill’s corpse, flashbacks from Alex’s childhood to adult ran through his mind like a movie slideshow. However, none of his memories showed that Bill had treated him with a good heart.In Bill’s eyes, Alex was probably nothing but sh*t compared to Spark.Recalling Bill’s ugly face when he cursed him and his mother last time, Alex instantly came to the realization that Bill hated them so much.Alex replied calmly, “John Rockefeller, are you blind? The old man was killed by Secretary Kimmich. As for her, everyone knew what you two were doing back in the maid’s bedroom. You can’t blame this on me!”He continued, “About the one you claim to be my grandfather… Heh, what kind of grandfather would wish death upon their grandson?”“John Rockefeller, you better be an arrogant fool but not a wirepuller in my father’s death just like Secretary Kimmich said. Or else, you would be able to reunite with him soon.”Alex then turned to take one
Alex then walked into a high class duplex apartment at ten o’clock at night.This was where Waltz normally stayed, she didn’t like to live in a villa since she preferred living alone.“Alex, you’re back! How was it? Are you alright? Did the members of Divine Constabulary cause you any trouble?” Brittany asked panickedly as soon as she saw Alex.Alex stared at his mother with mixed expressions and asked, “Mom, what exactly have you been hiding from me about Dad’s death? Can you please tell me about it?”Brittany fell silent.“Secretary Kimmich died.” Alex notified.“Huh?”“Bill Rockefeller died too.”“What did you say?” Brittany jumped in extreme shock.Alex replied, “They died under the hands of Japanese ninjas. It turned out that Secretary Kimmich was a ninja too, she’s been lurking around the Rockefellers for quite some time. She told me that Dad’s death was not as simple as I thought, she even said that he didn’t die from a car crash. Mom, you must know something, right?”
The night passed. Some were able to sleep well; some couldn’t; some partied through the night.The next day, news spread through some social channels of California. The father of the CEO of Rockefeller Group, Bill Rockefeller, had been killed by Alex Rockefeller, the abandoned child of the Rockefellers.This had caused an uproar within the public, it was an extreme taboo for grandchildren to kill their own grandparents after all. After seeing such news, everyone was shocked and started sharing it around online. It had been reposted over and over. With this many shares, many started discussing the identity of the bastard grandson.However, Alex had no idea of what was going down. After levelling up the Force, he had to undergo the process of Foundation Establishment to master the basics, which was a time consuming process. He had entered a tranquil state, he hadn’t woken up since then.Brittany and Maya were worried sick at first. However, Waltz was a practitioner in martial arts.
Even after a full day, the news continued to spread like wildfire. Some of the news sources even managed to dig up Alex’s personal information.[The Assexes’ son in law.][His parents are traitors.][His mother had become a vegetative patient.][He is a loser that slaves away for the Assexes.]The officials were trying to look for Alex as well, they wanted to arrest him.Brittany was still in Waltz’s apartment, scrolling through her phone over and over again. She was reading all the rumors that rose like a tsunami on the internet. She was especially enraged after reading the insults from several keyboard warriors. She was about to explode.“Who was it? Who spread these rumors?”Maya comforted her. “Mom, please calm down. Who else could it be? The Rockefellers must’ve done it.”Brittany stood up abruptly. “No, I can’t keep letting such rumors spread online. If I do, Alex would truly become a lowly streetrat, hated by every person on this planet!”Brittany initially sympathized
Waltz was excited.“Alright, let’s barge our way in!“I’ve been pretty frustrated for the past two days. All of the Rockefellers have to pay for what they did!”Alex shook his head. “Waltz, you stay here with Maya. This is a family matter, so just me and my mom should go.”Brittany nodded. “That’s right. Even though your dad is not related to him, he was still his son regardless. We would be in the wrong if we don’t send him off.”Waltz didn’t want to listen. “Brother, how could you not bring me along to such a fun—oh, I mean, such a solemn event?”Brittany replied, “Waltz, stop messing around.”“Oh, okay!” Princess Fleur had to abide by the empress’ orders.The funeral had already started in Rockefeller Manor.All of the Rockefellers were wearing mourning clothes. Noah and Spark were kneeling in the first row, whereas Mariah, Olivia and Paige were kneeling next to them.The younger generation of the Rockefellers had nothing better to do—they sat together, staring at their
Brittany looked as if she had been possessed by Khione, the goddess of ice and snow to the Rockefellers and their guests. Every move she only made her aura grow colder as she beat up the guards in her way. All of them fell to the ground, engulfed by numbness.Spark’s eyes were exceptionally wide in shock. “Holy sh*t. Did this b*tch learn the Ice Cold Touch? When did she become so strong?”John’s mouth was agape. He had always been terrified of Brittany as his legs trembled in fear.“Out of my way!” Brittany pushed John aside resentfully and walked towards the coffin slowly.Everyone couldn’t help but stare. No one dared to stop them anymore.She then picked up a flower to place on the deceased Bill’s casket.Suddenly, Paige came forward and slapped Brittany’s flower out of her hands. “Don’t act all sorry and sad. You two killed my dad! How dare you pay your respects to him? You have no right!”Brittany immediately slapped Paige, sending her falling to the ground.“Do you not ha
