“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
Neil chuckled. “Winnie, I can help you cripple them, but you have to promise me one thing. Let me take you to the movies tomorrow, I’ll reserve the whole hall for you.”Winnie replied, “Sure.”“It’s a date then!”Neil was overjoyed, he walked up to Alex with a sly smirk. “Let me introduce myself, I am Alaska’s—”Alex interrupted him. “There’s no need for that, I’m not interested in the disabled.”“What did you say? Die!”Neil had witnessed just how hard Alex could slap a person. So he knew that he had to be careful. Closing his hand fan, he aimed for Alex’s head with the weapon.If this attack were to go through, Alex would become brain dead even if he didn’t die from it.“Be careful, Alex!” Michelle screamed, worried for Alex’s safety.Alex raised his arm to block the attack as the steel hand fan slammed into it.Winnie was grinning wickedly, her eyes filled with scorn. She knew just how powerful the weapon was. Even rebars would end up bending from the impact.Using his ow
Alex pushed Michelle aside and activated his Mystic Armor.With this, a faint yellow turtle shell formed around his whole body to block all of Gerald’s attacks.He took the others out to prevent them from harming Michelle once he got busy battling Gerald. That’s why he included a seal in the needles to seal away their skills as well.The combination of Gerald’s staff and his inner force as a Peak Mystic rank fighter allowed his Chi to form an odd change in the atmosphere. His movements became as fast as lightning—they just seemed inhumanly possible. The Yowells felt a gush of hopelessness and despair as soon as they saw how powerful his attack would be.The other Pattingsons stopped wailing as they fixed their eyes on the two, refusing to blink.It was rare to see a Peak Mystic rank fighter attack, so none of them wanted to miss a second of this battle.Moreover, they hated Alex’s guts, really hoping to see him die under Gerald’s staff.Bam!A loud thud echoed through the pla
