“Alex, was it you?“You must have done this!”Carol was sitting alone in the corner of the hall, murmuring to herself. Her gaze was lowered but it was blood thirsty like that of a beast.No one knew that Carol was the mastermind behind the idea of dealing with Beatrice. She was the one who found Mona and the others to contribute to it too.However, she was never involved in the whole process, only advising Spark to take action.After being in jail for ten days, she was able to understand reality even more. She knew that she had to hide her tracks even better from now on.Just like this very moment, everyone in the family thought that Yeferson was the one who killed Spark. She was the only one who knew what actually went down, but she decided to keep this to herself.‘Do you really care about Beatrice that much?‘You’d kill for her?‘We should have some fun then!’Carol stood up and went back into her room. She installed a VPN and sent a text, [Your daughter is probably dead,
Everyone was shocked by this woman’s sudden appearance.Moreover, she was holding a gun.The man who had the gun pointed to his head calmed down immediately. Annoyed, he said, “Who are you trying to scare with a fake f*cking gun? Pull the trigger, I dare you! Here, shoot me right in the face! Do you not have the strength to pull the trigger?”Bang! A loud gunshot echoed through the living room.Green smoke was still coming out of the muzzle.A few seconds later, the man screamed and hugged his bleeding thigh. He fell to the ground and yelped in pain. “Ahhhhh! I’ve been shot! My leg…”Everyone was frozen in place, they had no idea what was happening.Anna’s expression was still cold. “What are you screaming for? You were the one who told me to pull the trigger. Are you happy now?”“Stand up straight, all of you! What are you even doing? Is this a homicide? Who gave you the balls to do such a thing? Do you guys have a death wish? Or do you think the jailrooms in California are to
“We haven’t even found their corpses. How are you so sure that both your children have died?“You know what, let me just break it to you. We received some information on them. They might not be dead yet. Someone saw Mona and Harry at a pier in Michigan. There are two possibilities. First, they may have eloped and were going overseas. Another possibility is that they might be forced into some pyramid-scheme organization by a bunch of crooks. Please just give us time to solve this case.”Alex darted his eyes to the side.He knew that Tony would never lie about such a thing. Hence, that would indicate that Azure really did take action upon them.But that wasn’t his main concern.He was more interested in knowing who sent the anonymous text. He thought, ‘Who could be the one behind this?’With Tony here to clarify things, the two families finally calmed down and went home gloomily. If it weren’t for Dorothy saying that she didn’t want to press charges, they would have ended up in j
A while later, Alex’s eyes lit up—he finally remembered where he had seen it.It was in his father’s study room. He had seen the logo on one of the boxes.He didn’t think much of it back then, thinking that it was a logo of some brand. Moreover, he had only seen it once and never again.‘What does Dad have anything to do with Gokudo Soshiki?‘Could Dad be part of the organization?’Alex was shocked by his assumption. ‘Am I actually Japanese then?’ However, he immediately shook this possibility off. His father had been adopted by Bill since he was a baby, so there was no way he would have joined this organization.He felt the need to go back to Rockefeller Manor. He needed to see if the box was still in his father’s study room. “Did you figure something out?”Alex nodded. “I’ve seen this logo before.”He decided to keep the details to himself.Anna said, “Everyone in the organization has this logo tattooed on their lower back, so it’s normal if you’ve seen it somewhere. A
He was such a good fighter, yet he hid this away from everyone. He was willing to slave away for his mother-in-law despite his skills too. ‘What a man!’Just then, a notification from Whatsapp popped up.“Mask appeared!”“Zendaya was attending some business event. But she didn’t have any female bodyguards, only Mask was there.”Beatrice’s heart dropped.She couldn’t believe what she was reading.Mask had followed Zendaya to an event, so Alex wasn’t Mask.‘Was I mistaken?’Thinking about how she hugged him for such a long time and how she wore a pair of hotpants just to get his attention, she couldn’t help but feel… disgusted.“Alex, are you Mask or not?” asked Beatrice as she stood up.“What? Of course I’m not Mask, when did I say that?”“You, you jerk! You liar!”Beatrice was enraged and had nowhere else to release her anger and frustration, so she kicked Alex on his behind.“Ow!” Claire screamed.Alex lost his balance and fell on top of her.“What is wrong with you B
The woman was Michelle, who had been staying in his villa temporarily.Alex had been healing her continuously for the past few days. Her broken ribs were nearly healed, and she could walk around freely as well. However, her core was still damaged since he had yet to make the Energy Recovery Pill for her. Alex had initially planned on letting her go back to the Yowells tomorrow. However, this had to happen just before he could.“Michelle?” Alex immediately carried her out of the coffin.Checking her injuries, Alex felt even more infuriated.All four of her limbs were fractured.Her gorgeous face wash drenched in blood, carved with a disgusting word: Sl*t.Alex also noticed a letter laying in the coffin.The word ‘battle’ was written on the envelope.When he opened the letter, all it read were twelve words. “I challenge you to a battle to the death at Yowell Manor.”It was obvious that the Pattingsons were up to something again.“Battle to the death?“Fine, as you wish!”Al
The coffin was the exact model that was sent to Alex’s villa.The Yowells were fuming, yet they knew that there was nothing they could do—they were immobile.“Hey, do you guys think that punk would come?”“He won’t chicken out, right?”“I heard that the bastard is around twenty. He’s just a loser, having to rely on women to survive. How could such a wimp defeat an Intermediate-Mystic-ranked fighter like Scott? Can you guys believe that? Well I don’t!”A bunch of young adults were gossiping with each other.One of them was a woman in her twenties, just as beautiful as Michelle. Her expression was as cold as ice. “I don’t care what tricks he pulled during their fight. But I’ll make sure he pays for what he did to my brother! We Pattingsons will not go back to North Tokyo as long as he’s alive.”This woman was Scott’s cousin sister, Winnie Pattingson.She was the one who carved the word ‘Sl*t’ on Michelle’s face.“Don’t worry, Ms. Pattingson. As long as he comes, I’ll save you th
Still holding Michelle’s hand, Alex took a glance at the bald guy. His eyes were stern and cold as the winter’s snow.The Pattingson family thought that he was just bluffing.Fighters would normally have very strong auras emanating from their bodies, especially skilled ones. Highly skilled fighters had such immense auras that every slight move they made were intimidating.However, Alex didn’t have any of these characteristics, he just looked like a weak scholar, a pale-skinned wimp.“God, I’m dying of laughter. How dare you talk to me like that, wimp? Before, I wasn’t sure if you had actually killed Scott. But now I’m most definitely sure that you played tricks and killed him by cheating in the fight!“If you fought him fair and square, you wouldn’t even stand one second against him.”Alex’s expression was still exceedingly cold. “Are you done blabbering?”The bald guy was enraged. “Are you an idiot?”Eugene kicked the bald guy and said, “Why are you still talking to him? Just
