Inside, he thought, âIs it the difference between men and women? Both Mom and Hailey said the same
things, so it canât be a lie.â
However, when he got nearer to her, it felt as if he had ants in his pants, and he couldnât think of
anything else but doing the deed⦠Then, there was only one other explanation. The fragrance from
Mayaâs body had a calming effect on women, but it was the opposite for men.
However, this was not something he could tell them so casually. So, he changed the subject instead.
âDo we know who kidnapped Stephen?â
***
Half an hour later, they arrived back at Lush Cosmetics. Holly had already returned and brought with
her two beaten up people in her bands, they were black and blue all over, covered with bruises, and
their faces were swollen.
âTheyâre the ones who killed our people and took Stephen away?â Brittany asked.
âTheyâre not the ones. These two turtles didnât have the capabilities to do it. It was Joshua Jones.â Holly
had found some information through her network These two thugs were Joshuaâs underlings.
âWho is Joshua Jones?â
Alex had not heard this name before, neither did Brittany nor Maya.
Instead, it was one of the thugs who answered grimly, âHmph! You dare to kidnap us even when you
donât know who Master Jones is? When the time comes, Master Jones will bring along the three
hundred masters under him, and everyone here will die! Holly Yates, donât think that youâve become
some empress just because youâve occupied a few territories! Compared to our Master Jones, youâre
far from him.â
It turned out that the two thugs knew Holly.
Slap!
Maya gave the thug a big slap across his face.
Several of his teeth flew out immediately from the blow, and she said coldly, âSince you like to talk so
much, tell us, where is that Joshua right now?â
Holly was the one to answer, âJoshua is the Amaryllis Tower owner, which is a place where
underground black boxing is held. Iâve met him once before when he wanted to recruit me. I refused
him then.â
Alex ate some pills like he was eating jelly beans to replenish his energy and asked, âIs this Joshua
very powerful?â
Holly replied, âSo so. But he shouldnât be able to keep up with me. What Iâm worried about is that there
is still an old guy behind him. That guy is the real monolith of the place. On the other hand, people from
Amaryllis Tower donât really have any regard for rules, so if they come and retaliate against the
company, itâs going to be troublesome.â
âHmph, youâre saying that Master Jones isnât your opponent, Holly Yates? I think youâre spouting
nonsense, right?â
When one of the thugs heard this, he couldnât help but sneer.
Holly got a little angry and slapped the thugâs face. The blow was coated with her fire attributes. The
thug let out a yelp and fell to the ground, unconscious.
His entire face looked like it had been burned by fire, and it was hideous to look at.
When Brittany saw that, there was no change in her expression as she said, âHolly, that old guy, just
how powerful is he?â
âHeâs a cultivator, and he may have already reached Divine Transcendence level.â
Brittany and Maya had heard Alex talked about the cultivation levels before this, and they frowned,
being at their witsâ end.
They could never have imagined that restoring a celebrityâs face would provoke such a monstrous
master.
Alex smiled lightly at this moment and said, âEven if itâs a Divine Transcendence master, itâs not
impossible to deal with him.â
âBro, do you have some misunderstandings about the Divine Transcendence level?â Holly asked
bluntly without a care for his face. âThe moment you reach that level, itâs like youâve shed your mortal
skin. In the eyes of ordinary people, itâs basically a god-like existence. They have all kinds of magical
power, then, and many unimaginable skills at their disposal.â
Alex replied calmly, âIâm one of them.â
ââ¦â
At this moment, Sky suddenly called.
âAlex, do you have some time tonight? Thereâs a mission from the Divine Constabulary that may
require your assistance.â
âWhatâs the mission about?â
âHead to Michiganâs Amaryllis Tower to rescue someone.â
âUh..?â
