Aunt Rockefeller grunted softly. âWhy should I send her back? She has hands and feet. She could just
go back by herself.â
With that, Aunt Rockefeller glanced at Waltz and Daya.
âSince you care so much about her, do you still want to be her son-in-law? I think you canât cut ties with
Dorothy Assex in this lifetime.â
âWhat are you saying? Weâve already gotten a divorce. Do you think weâd get married again?â Alex
said.
âItâs hard to say. I wouldnât know if youâd do it! However, I have to offer you advice. We still donât know if
your father is dead or alive, and we have no idea what the ranks of our hidden enemies are. You ought
to have self-discipline! Donât be dragged down by beautiful women. Otherwise⦠I wonât forgive you
easily,â Aunt Rockefeller said.
With that, Aunt Rockefeller deliberately glanced at Daya.
Daya took a deep breath and stood up. âAuntie, I know you think Iâm dragging Rockefeller down, and
that Iâd only cause him trouble. Donât worry, I wonât! In five days, Iâll be taking on the Stoermersâ Test of
Hell and Iâll return in two years. When the time comes, I definitely wonât be the same as my current self
and I could become Alexâs helper,â Daya said.
âOh? Is that so?â Aunt Rockefeller asked.
âYes.â Daya nodded.
âAunt, what Daya said is true. The test she mentioned is extremely difficult. Sheâs willing to accept this
hellish test because of me. You⦠You shouldnât keep picking on Daya! Sheâs not an ordinary girl. Her
mental power is a very amazing talent. Even if she hasnât gone through any cultivation, sheâs already a
hundred times stronger than other people,â Alex said.
âIs that so? I find it a little hard to believe! Iâll know after testing it out!â Aunt Rockefeller suddenly
focused her mental power and hit on Dayaâs consciousness.
In the next moment, her facial expression changed and became rather grave.
Five seconds later, sweats appeared on her forehead.
Ten seconds later, her body began to tremble.
Twenty seconds later, Aunt Rockefeller stumbled three steps backward. She only stopped when she
knocked against the wall behind her. Her face had turned pale.
Alex quickly held her up and laughed. âWhat do you think? Do you believe me now? Once she
cultivates her spiritual consciousness, she might even be able to kill a Grandmaster in seconds.â
Aunt Rockefeller snorted. âThatâs all!â
After saying that, her legs gave away, nearly falling down.
Waltz couldnât help but laugh. After that, she quickly stopped herself.
However, to everyoneâs surprise, Aunt Rockefeller retrieved a bracelet and tossed it over to Daya.
âYour mental power indeed is malleable. This is a mystical tool. Coupled with your mental power, youâd
be better able to protect yourself. Anyway, I look forward to your achievements in two years.â
After dinner, Alex retreated to the basement and started to concoct pills.
In the past few days, Thousand Miles Conglomerate, the Yowell family, the Stoermer family, and
Nathan Pattingson had all delivered medicinal herbs of great value to Alex. Hence, he could go crazy
concocting pills.
Alex still felt worried about Daya.
He prepared more than twenty types of pills for her. Apart from pill concoction, he also accelerated his
research on the formation blueprint attached to the Dragonâs Bane of Thirty-Six. As long as Alex was
able to grasp this thing fully, he was confident that he could create some mystical tools for self defense
just like how his father did.
***
At six oâclock in the evening, Alex headed to Urasawa Restaurant for his appointment.
Zachary Xavier, Sky Melvis, Ted Summers, and several other key members of Californiaâs Divine
Constabulary were all there. However, Anna Coleman was nowhere to be seen. Upon asking, it turned
out that Anna had left California after being entrusted with transporting the four hundred or so Royal
ranked martial artists they had seized from the Johansson family earlier.
The meal went on for two hours.
In reality, it was an occasion to drink and bond with each other.
Alex knew clearly in his heart that his performance during the day had thoroughly conquered this
guardian from Divine Constabulary. This man now wanted to be associated with Alex directly.
Meanwhile, Alex also wanted to find out who in Divine Constabulary was looking for the tombâs key.
Hence, he happily accepted Zacharyâs offering of peace.
Throughout the meal, both the host and the guests were happy.
When Zachary left, he gave Alex a piece of talisman. This was also proof of Alexâs promotion as an
elder.
At half past eight, Alex saw Zachary and the rest off at Urasawa Restaurant. He was just about to drive
his car and return home. To his surprise, he saw someone familiar at the parking lot: it was none other
than Cheryl Coneyâs best friend, Phoebe Larsen!
âWhy is she still in California?â Alex thought.
Just as he was still thinking if he should go and greet her, a group of masked men suddenly appeared
from one side and rushed over to Phoebe. They covered her head with a piece of black cloth. Before
she could scream, they dragged her into a van. The vanâs engine was turned on, and it quickly sped
outside.
