“The Blood Cleansing Talisman!”If there wasn’t a cure for a poison at the moment, the Blood Cleansing Talisman could remove the poison from the bloodstream.However, this talisman was fairly harmful to the operator.This required the operator's blood to help detoxify the patient. Not only would it take up a lot of energy, it would shorten their lifespan as well.“F*ck it! So what if it shortens your lifespan! As long as Waltz can be saved, I’m willing to shorten my lifespan by half!”He took a look at the procedures for the talisman.Alex took all of Waltz’s clothes off and took action immediately, He concentrated his Chi and formed it into a knife, slicing his wrists. Blood gushed out of his wounds abundantly.Using his blood, he drew the talisman onto both his and Waltz’s bodies.He then sliced a small wound into Waltz’s chest and poured his blood into the wound.More blood flowed out of his wrists.It was like a miracle, Waltz’s chest wound was consuming all of Alex’s b
John was getting slightly impatient from all this waiting. He had ordered them to bring them over, dead or alive.It had been two to three hours since he gave out his orders to the assassins, yet they haven’t reported back to him at all.This made him extremely restless. He couldn’t sleep even after laying down on his bed, though he could feel his eyelids twitching, as if something big was about to happen.“Cooper, what’s the meaning of this? Have the assassins you hired executed the operation yet? Is Brittany dead or alive?” John called for his bodyguard, Cooper. He was obviously in panic and frustration.Cooper replied, “Mr. Rockefeller, please be patient. These famous assassins are known to be mysterious, but they’re definitely skilled in their field. Their phones had been turned off ever since the operation started. They will contact me as soon as they’re done.”John was worried. “Could they have been killed because they bumped into that bastard, Alex?”Cooper smiled. “That’s
Similar incidents were happening throughout Rockefeller Manor.Carol, who was taking a nice bath, decided to come out of the bathtub as soon as the lights went out. However, she heard light footsteps in the darkness.Then, she felt a stinging pain in the back of her head and lost consciousness.Noah and Mariah were knocked out when they were having an intimate moment.All the maids and caretakers lost consciousness without realizing it as well.“Why would the power go out?”“Could someone be… behind this?” John started panicking.He was genuinely terrified of Alex.This was why he wanted the operation to go smoothly and kill them off right there and then. If they weren’t able to succeed, this would potentially expose him as the mastermind. He wouldn’t be able to rest if that happened.However, in just seconds, the power came back.“Maybe the breaker tripped!” Cooper smiled. “Don’t worry, Mr. Rockefeller. It’ll be fine, really. This operation is sure to succeed! Assassins us
“What? This…” Cooper and John’s face went pale as soon as they recognized the corpses.They were all John’s private bodyguards.He was worried that someone might try to assassinate him, so he had hired these skilled fighters with large sums of money. Some were underground fighters; some had learned ancient martial arts; while others had been in the military. All of them could fight off large groups of people alone.Despite this,they were now dead, killed by this young girl as if she was just butchering livestock.She was none other than Holly Yates.She stood at the door with a cheeky smile, arms folded behind her back. She looked as if she wouldn’t hurt a fly, but the two saw her as a wolf in sheep’s clothing.“John, I’ve already given you a second chance. I told you that I’d defeat you in business, and I promised that I wouldn’t use any other methods to get my way.” Brittany said. “Yet here you are, not appreciating the chance I gave you and choosing to hire assassins to kill
The dagger penetrated Cooper’s lower back. But he couldn’t care less about the pain as he sped up and dashed towards the left window, hoping to escape.To his demise, Waltz was much faster than him. She had reached Mystic Rank after all.As soon as Cooper reached the window, Waltz grabbed him by his neck from behind and dragged him back in. However, Waltz was still getting used to her newfound strength. She unintentionally broke Cooper’s neck and spine.With a loud thud, Cooper fell to the ground harshly, unable to move a muscle anymore.As he hadn’t died yet, he was flooded with sheer terror.He screamed and shouted. “No! I don’t want to die! I don't want to die…”Even so, he felt his vision getting darker by the second. This continued until he was nothing more but an empty husk.After witnessing how Cooper died, along with the large pile of corpses around him, John was so scared that he felt as if he was going to wet his pants.He just thought that he was just a rich man spen
John just wanted to survive.He had thought this through. Even though his son had died, he could always give birth to another one.Even if Olivia couldn’t bear another child, he could find another woman who would do so.Moreover, it wouldn’t be a problem for him to get another seven or eight sons. ‘I’m rich, what problem is there?’He immediately said, “It’s a secret about your father’s identity. Do you want to know that? Your father may be dead, but wouldn’t you want to know anything about your bloodline? Your ancestors? Do you not want to find your actual grandparents?”Both Alex and Brittany really wanted to.“Speak.”John shook his head. “Brittany, I’ve thought this through. If you let me go this time, I won’t cause you any trouble from now on. Who cares if Spark died? He asked for it. But you have to let me live after I tell you William’s secret. No more grudges or anything like that, alright?”Brittany looked towards Alex, letting him decide.Alex nodded. “Sure, we’ll
John was relieved. “Thank god you’re willing to keep your promise.”However, Alex spoke up again. “But you hired assassins to capture my mom and to kill my family. What’s worse was that you had such disgusting fantasies towards my mother. Letting you live wouldn’t sit right with me.”John panicked. “Wh-What do you mean?”Alex said, “I’ll let you live and witness the destruction of Rockefeller Group! Back then, both you and your father treated us like idiots, tricking and using my father as a tool to help you earn money… We’ll just take your freedom away to atone for your sins.”“Are… are you going to imprison me and lock me up?”“That’s right, but I’m not going to imprison you physically. I’m imprisoning your soul.”“Huh? Soul?”John wanted to laugh. ‘Are you kidding me?’Just then, Alex reached his arm out with his fingers spread, each surrounded by lightning.John was appalled upon seeing this.‘He can form lightning in his hands? Is he even human at this point?’He turned
“Can I sleep with you tonight?” Waltz’s words made Alex shudder.Just then, he remembered that his wife, Dorothy, was supposed to have just come out of the shower, waiting for him to move to the third base in their relationship. However, he had dashed out of the room and flaked her. He had no idea how she was taking this.He initially wanted to rush back to Apollo Hotel, but then remembered how he looked like right now.He looked as if he had aged another thirty years. He could even act as Dorothy’s father..If she saw how he looked now, she probably wouldn’t believe that he was Alex, let alone get back down to business.He let out a deep sigh.Waltz pouted. “Why are you sighing? Just say if you want to! Why are you such a chicken? I didn’t even intend to tell Dorothy. Are you going to go back on your words? How am I going to trust you anymore?”Alex felt awkward. “Waltz, I can’t even if I wanted to!”“What does that mean? Oh no, have you become infertile? Is that an after-ef
