“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
Too engrossed with the sight, Alex Rockefeller did not realize that others had arrived.He looked down and saw three women, all dressed in black.Their expressions were definitely filled with anger as they glared at him.More importantly, these women were fighters, with the strongest one of Advanced-Royal rank.The other two were of Intermediate-Royal rank, at the very least.“Oh my! I wonder why Zendaya needed such powerful people to be her bodyguards?”Just as a confused Alex tried to make sense of the situation, Zendaya, who overheard the commotion, leaped from her lying position on the yoga mat. She looked around and saw Alex right outside her window.She was shocked, but Alex quickly discovered that she had indeed something to do with the little demon.‘Weird. What could’ve happened between a popular celebrity like her and an old lady?’Seeing Alex’s inaction and his continuous staring into the window, the women below became enraged. The Advanced-Royal ranked one stomped
Even though the paparazzi apologized publicly after that, the damage had been done. Zendaya had to deal with the repercussions of negative press and a dwindling reputation.The female bodyguard snickered. “Every paparazzi we caught said the same thing. Do you think we will believe you? If you do not cooperate on a count of three, do not blame us for what will come.”“One…“Two…”Alex Rockefeller shook his head.“Three! Get him!”Another bodyguard jammed the baton onto Alex’s arm. This wasn’t the first time it happened; Zendaya’s immense fame had attracted quite a few unscrupulous characters.Yet, it was the same outcome. One taste of the taser was all that was needed to teach these stalkers a lesson they would never forget.A moment passed, and instantly she felt something was amiss; Alex seemed not to be affected by the taser.She tried a few more times, but nothing changed.“This can’t be, I charged it just this morning!” she muttered under her breath.“Why don’t you find
The women screamed in horror.A refined maiden, Zendaya never had any intimate interactions with the opposite sex. Even her hands were off-limits to pretty much most people.Alex Rockefeller’s actions were horrendous, to say the least.If the fans knew about it, she was done for.Zendaya was terrified. She lay on the ground frozen as she watched Alex’s hand reach forward to touch her body.Whoosh!Alex grabbed onto a jade necklace and yanked it free from her neck.‘Hold on. He only wanted the necklace?’Zendaya could not wrap her head around Alex’s actions. He kept staring at the jade necklace without any further action. She was puzzled but dared say nothing in case she provoked him again.“Who would’ve thought that the famous Zendaya, a professional songstress, would excel equally well in raising demons?” Alex quickly shoved the necklace into his pocket.“What happened between you and Carter’s old lady?” he asked.Zendaya instantly fumed upon Alex’s question. “You came for
