“There are so many people here today!” said Hailey with a smile on her face. The white dress she wore gave her a mature and virtuous look, and she was only older than Alex by two years. She was also a rich young woman who ran a beauty salon and knew how to upkeep herself well. If she deliberately dressed up as a college student, no one would even bat an eye at it.“Who is she?” Claire asked as she frowned, thinking that the woman in front of her looked familiar. “It’s Charles’s wife, Charles from Waylon Realty,” Dorothy whispered in Claire’s ears before stepping forward to greet the woman.Her construction materials company had gotten the favor of a big shot such as Charles, so it was only natural to build a good relationship. She stepped forward, smiling. “Sister Hailey, allow me to introduce my mother to you, and this is my Aunt…”Hailey obviously knew who Claire was. The last time they had gone to the Assex family residence to look for Alex, she had witnessed her spiteful a
Hailey Lawson turned her head around and almost hit Alex Rockefeller.Raising her chin, she asked, “What do you mean by that?”With his heart thumping, Alex hurriedly took a step back. “You have the elegance and grace of a city girl.”“I was the belle of the village back then!” She flipped her hair and turned back.Hailey had called upon him to give her mother-in-law a treat.She wasn’t always the healthiest, and her condition had worsened recently, with her appetite and sleep badly affected. As days went by, she started hallucinating. The doctors had run out of ideas. Even James Coney came, but her condition kept worsening.Out of desperation, Hailey went to Alex for help.They got some stuff from Nine Villa before departing.About half an hour later, they arrived at Golden Manor, an upscale neighborhood.It was much more expensive than Maple Villa and was one of the more sought-after residential areas in California. Located just steps away was Sunset Lake, one of California’
He immediately understood why Hailey Lawson reacted so negatively upon seeing Zack Carter.Chances were, she knew what kind of person the old man was.Alex Rockefeller felt his temper rising.But immediately, his attention was fixated on a black bracelet worn by the old man on his wrist.A wisp of energy, invisible to the naked eye, emanated from the bracelet and shrouded the old man.‘What is it?’Alex squinted and found that the energy came from one of the beads in the bracelet.Even more surprising was how it stimulated the Force in his body.A thought burst into his mind—he had to have it!Whatever the consequence!Of course, Alex was no criminal, not to mention that he couldn't possibly do it to Charles Carter’s father. He quickly suppressed his urge using all his willpower.‘Who is he?’Zack looked at Alex with animosity and even a little jealousy in his eyes.Using his Third Eye, Alex recognized Zack’s jealousy, suspicious that his daughter-in-law was cheating on hi
“Does Charles know of this?”“Without any evidence, what can I say?”Soon after, Zack Carter came out holding a plate of sliced watermelon. Alex Rockefeller quickly suggested that they should check on the patient instead since he refused to consume food prepared by the old pervert.As for Zack, he wanted this man to leave as soon as possible. It did not matter to him if his wife was cured. After all, she lived an old age and would interfere with his search for a young bride if she was still alive.Happily agreeing to Alex’s request, he brought them over to where his sick wife was.She was lying on the bed when they came to her bedroom on the second floor. Of a small frame, she had evidently been pretty back in her younger days. Alex was shocked to find out what had happened to the old lady.A ghostly aura could be seen shrouding her body, just like what happened to Hailey Lawson.That explained everything. She must have caught it from her mother-in-law previously.She wasn’t si
“What did you just say? Who are you to disrespect Doctor Yoke, America’s Imperial Doctor, like that!”Jim Sabinsky’s face turned beet red in rage. He could not accept any form of disrespect directed at his mentor. “You are done for. I am calling the police now! You need to be put in jail so you’d learn not to cheat and con innocent citizens.”Even Hailey Lawson could not stop him from dialing up the authorities.Shaking his head, Alex took out his phone and punched in a number.Before Jim could tell the operator on the other end of the line of his issue, Alex handed him his cell phone and said, “Your mentor wants to speak to you.”“Wait a minute.”Jim looked at him in bewilderment. Surely, it wasn’t his mentor on the line? How could he, America’s Imperial Doctor, recklessly reveal his phone number to a stranger? Alex turned on the speaker mode, and Wallace Yoke’s angry voice quickly came through. “Jim Sabinsky, you fool! Did you do anything to Mr. Rockefeller? Get on your knees
“You are wishing for my mother’s death, aren’t you?” Nancy Carter was livid.“I was just stating the truth.” Alex Rockefeller heeded no attention to Nancy. “Now that I am here, she will live.”“Who knows if you are deceiving us?” Nancy retorted. Meanwhile, Wallace Yoke checked the old lady’s pulse again. For three full minutes, he remained motionless with a solemn expression on his face. Finally, he shook his head. “I am sorry, I don’t think I can do anything here.”Alex told Hailey Lawson, “Why don’t you leave everything to Doctor Yoke and me? Wait for us outside the bedroom.”“Sounds good.” He escorted a scowling Nancy and Zack out. Hailey left as well.Jim Sabinsky wanted to remain and help, although, in actual fact, he was waiting for a chance to expose Alex’s ruse.“Sure, why not?” Alex grinned.Three men and an old lady were the only ones left in the bedroom.“I am actually protecting you by not letting you treat her,” Alex told Jim.He pointed at the old lady, seeing
To kill the little demon on the spot, all he needed was the Thunder Palm Mantra.Alex Rockefeller changed his mind after seeing the insignia since he wanted to find out who was behind the old lady’s possession.Whoosh!He muttered an incantation to immobilize the little demon and used a red thread found in the bedroom and tied it up into a knot.Also known as a Red Shackle, it was an extremely effective move to encase supernatural beings.It was a bizarre sight for Wallace Yoke and Jim Sabinsky, as the little demon, as tall as a four-year-old kid, shrunk rapidly and vanished into a tiny red knot. Alex then fastened the knot on his belt.Both the mentor and his mentee were shocked.“You… captured the… the demon?” Jim stammered and looked at Alex in awe.Alex nodded. “I will deal with it later.”In actual fact, he wanted to look for the little demon’s owner after nightfall.Wallace suddenly looked at Alex with a twinkle in his eyes and eagerly asked, “Mr. Rockefeller, are you p
Alex Rockefeller shook his head and smiled. “Doctor Yoke, these are nothing but obsolete facts now. I met an expert from Switzerland yesterday claiming that our traditional medicine is a joke and cannot be compared to the Korean art of healing.”“Lies! Lies! They derived their knowledge from our expertise. How dare they claim to be the better of the two?” Wallace York exclaimed in anger.Jim Sabinsky chimed in, “They actually applied for heritage status too and claimed that our knowledge originated from them.”“Damn! What a load of nonsense!” Riled up, Wallace was about to give Jim the boot.It was a shocking sight to see Wallace, an elderly man, cursing and swearing in a sudden outburst.“It has been centuries since we saw the existence of Dazzle’s apostles. Now that you are here, we need everyone to know of the arrival of one of Dazzle’s apostles!” Wallace continued, “And as a follower of the Witch Doctor, I pay my respects to the Immortal Doctor.”And he lowered his body to kn
