“Check my body?“Are you… going to help me level up now?”Anna had obviously misunderstood. She didn’t know that Alex was just making an excuse to allow Darven the chance to make his escape. If he had directly asked Anna to let him go secretly, she probably would have agreed, but it would leave a heavy knot in her heart.However, if Darven escaped on his own, it would give her a way out of the situation.Alex nodded in agreement. “Yeah, I need to have a deeper understanding of your body before I can formulate a set of feasible plans and medicine so that you can smoothly improve your cultivation level. Otherwise, it would have serious repercussions that might not be visible on the surface.”Anna bit her plump lips. “Exactly how deep are we talking about?”“The deeper, the better.”“...”There was a little something in her that she couldn’t seem to let go.No matter how she twisted his words in her head, it sounded like he wanted to do a full body examination on her.He just
Inside, Alex thought, ‘Isn’t this because I’m creating an opportunity for Darven?’Just at this moment, a shout came from outside. “Ahh! Not good, Darven has escaped!”Alex’s heart thumped. Anna was about to run out, but Alex grabbed her. “You haven’t fastened your belt yet.”By the time she fastened her belt and gave chase, Darven was long gone. There weren’t many people left behind in the Divine Constabulary, and most of them lay unconscious on the ground. Those who were still conscious were as weak as a kitten.‘He’s fairly capable!’ Alex was slightly surprised. Darven was so old. He didn’t expect the older man to be this vigorous. It clearly displayed a strength of a Shaman that he couldn’t underestimate, and those who weren’t in that field would only meet their end if they met a Shaman.“Where is he? Where has he gone?” Anna asked. “He went in the direction of the mountain at the back,” one of them said.Anna gave chase immediately and quickly reached the mountain at the
Claire walked quietly to the door of the room Alex was in and pressed her ears against it to hear what the people inside were saying.It was a pity that the soundproofing of each private room in South Cali Dining was extremely effective. She could hear nothing but the occasional laughter. A waiter happened to pass by at this moment, so she had no choice but to turn around and return to her room.Both Dorothy and Beatrice were inside. Claire’s family was also present. Today was Adrianna’s birthday, so both families had gathered here today for dinner. Her father was also present, as well as a few of Adrianna’s close friends.“Mom, you’ve come back from the washroom so soon?” Beatrice looked at her mother in surprise. It had only been a minute since she left the room. That was too fast.Moreover, she looked so happy earlier.In a blink of an eye, she looked like someone owed her five million dollars. Claire sat back down in her chair in a huff. “What washroom? I’m so angry
Aidan tapped the table with his chopsticks and said, “Claire Assex, can you not talk like a shrew? What happened to everything I taught you since you were young? Have they all gone down the drain?”The moment Alex was mentioned, even Aidan couldn’t help the sad feeling from rising in him!He thought back to his birthday banquet, where Alex had gifted him the painting, The Landscape, worth a hundred million dollars, as well as the snow lotus worth thirty million. It had both been destroyed by this fraudulent child of his. The Landscape had been torn.The snow lotus had been trampled on.After that incident had happened, he had almost died from the distress that he felt that night.Adrianna asked, “Alex has married again? Who’s the woman?”She had originally hoped that her daughter would be able to win Alex over. Still, after Claire had gone to City Salon and made a ruckus there and offended the goddess of Thousand Miles Conglomerate, Waltz, Sharpay knew that she was completely o
Alex was seated with his back against the door, so he didn’t see Claire when she first came in. Except that Carey, who was sitting opposite him, saw her first.With a frown, she said, “Waitress, if there’s nothing else, stay outside first! Don’t bother us eating and chatting here.”It was all because Claire was wearing a red and black traditional dress.The style was very similar to the ones that the waitresses in South Cali Dining wore. I’m why Carey thought she was a waitress.Claire almost threw up blood on the spot from the indignance she felt. This woman dared to treat her as a waitress? Was there something wrong with her eyes?! But, she remembered what Adrianna’s friend had said, that this woman was from the Stoermer family in Michigan, and the fact that she was someone of high authority and should not be offended.Thus, she suppressed the rage she felt in her heart and said, “I’m not a waitress. I’m his former mother-in-law.”As she said that, she pointed at Alex.When
Claire’s gloating sneer vanished slowly, and she doubted that she had heard right. “What did you just say?”“I said,” Carey repeated coldly, “Get! Lost!”Claire heard it clearly this time. Not only was she dumbfounded, but she flew into a mighty rage!With her kind of temper, was it possible to even hold it in?Of course not!“Sigh, I say, a person like you... why can’t you see reason? I’ve come here to inform you about this kindly, and not only did you not listen, but you’re even chasing me out? He’s a shameless scumbag, and you still want your daughter to go with him? Are you really her mother? YOu can’t actually be her stepmother, right? And you wish that she would marry a liar like him?”If it was anyone else that Claire had said these words to, the other person would have already lashed out. Carey, however, was still the daughter-in-law of a royal family. She had been ingrained with aristocratic etiquette since she was a child. A true educated noble, asking her to raise he
As Dorothy and Daya were looking at each other, none of them gave way. The Coleman family from Missouri’s grand elder, Terrace Coleman, as well as Byakko from the Four Great Princesses, had come to the front of Maple Villa 8.“Grand Elder, this is the place where Alex lives,” Byakko said. “Should I ring the doorbell?”“Ring the doorbell?” The grand elder sneered. “Did we come here as guests?”Upon saying that, he raised his foot and kicked fiercely on the big iron gate of the villa.Boom!It was as loud as an explosion.The two large iron gates weighed over two hundred pounds. Under his destructive power as a Grandmaster, it violently ripped itself off the fence and flew in the air, passing the courtyard’s tens of meters before slamming heavily into the villa. The door and windows were shattered, and even the walls were cracked. Byakko was secretly stunned. It was hard to believe that the power of a Grandmaster could be so frightening. Here, a single individual was comparab
Zoey was anxious when she saw her mother still being held in the air, so she chewed down violently on Terrance’s thigh.“Hmph!”The grand elder let out a cold snort and lightly released a burst of energy outwards.The burst shook off Zoey’s two front teeth.Her petite body also flew backward, and she hit the ground rolling. She came to a stop in the flowerbed nearby, bleeding from her head as she fell unconscious.“Ahhh!” Hailey let out a scream, bursting out in unprecedented power, and kicked Terrance in his crotch. “Ugh!”Though the kick wasn’t enough to send his balls flying, he didn’t have the power of the Mystic armor that Alex had, and he was completely defenseless.Because in his eyes, Hailey was just an insignificant ant.However, he forgot that even an ant bite would hurt if it were at that place.‘Damn it!’ Terrance cursed in his heart. He then gripped Hailey’s neck and smashed her to the ground. Having no intentions of killing Hailey, he didn’t exert much force. O
