A man of about fifty years old was standing at the doorstep. Based on his appearance, he looked sixty
or seventy percent similar to James, especially the nose. It was of the same mold.
Meanwhile, there were two other men behind the man. One of them was the young master of the Witch
Doctor Sect, Levi Bayer.
The man looked at James and said with a frown, âDad, the time has long passed. Why havenât you
learned how to control your temper yet? Look at you. You are already so old. How long more do you
have to live? Could it be that you donât want to have someone to look after you and arrange a proper
burial after your death?â
It turned out that this man was Jamesâs son and Cherylâs father, Franklin Coney.
âEven if Iâm dead, I donât need you to give me a burial! Get lost!â James was so angry that he roared,
his eyes bloodshot.
Granny Coney, who was busy in the kitchen, ran out with a spatula.
âHusband, whatâs wrong? Whatâs wrong?â
Upon seeing the standing man at the doorstep, the granny froze, and the spatula in her hand fell to the
ground. âFrank⦠Franklin? Y-you are back?â
Compared to James, Granny Coneyâs feelings for her son were always purer.
He was her biological son, whom she had bore for nine months and raised from childhood to
adulthood. Although he was a jerk, she would think of him from time to time on quiet nights. Now that
she met with him, she could not help feeling only excitement.
âMom, Iâve come back to see you.â Such a word had made tears stream down the face of the granny.
âMom? What Mom? We donât have a son like you. Get out of here!â
However, in the end, the grannyâs heart melted as she said, âHusband, heâs already back. Just let him
in first, and weâll see how it goes. If he really has repented, then⦠Then, we might as well give him a
chance to atone for his sins.â
Meanwhile, Alex and Cheryl, who were in the room, naturally heard the ruckus outside.
Cheryl only heard someone talking, but she could not hear the contents of the conversation. On the
other hand, Alex could hear everything clearly.
Cheryl asked, âLooks like someone is here. Shall we go and take a look?â
Alex had a strange look in his eyes. âItâs up to you.â
But then, Cheryl could hear Franklinâs voice due to his increased speaking voice. In that instant, her
face turned pale, and her eyes were also filled with extreme resentment and indifference. âT-that brute
has come back.â
Both her hands trembled slightly as if her entire soul had become turbulent because of the manâs
presence. It could be seen that Franklin had left such a heavy blow in her life!
Alex gently grabbed Cheryl hand.
After feeling the power passed from Alexâs hand, only then did Cherylâs mood improve a little. After
that, she even pounced onto Alex and gently said, âHold me, okay?â
Alex hesitated for a while. Finally, he still reached out his hands to hug her and comforted her, âIf you
donât wish to see him, then we wonât go out there. Just hide in the room. I believe your grandpa can
handle it well.â
Cheryl nodded without saying anything.
Meanwhile, Alex suddenly thought of Beatrice Assex in his mind. The two peopleâs experiences were
extremely similar.
In this way, he felt that he could give Beatrice a bit more leniency when facing her again. Due to her
fatherâs adultery and her motherâs death from depression, Cherylâs entire life had undergone a
tremendous change resulting in an emotional obstacle in her mind. It was already rare for Beatrice to
be able to act heartlessly as if nothing had happened.
âLet us hear what theyâre talking about outside,â Alex whispered.
At the time, he even released a wave of spiritual consciousness to the outside.
Compared to when he had just advanced to Divine Transcendence, his current spiritual
consciousnessâs strength and detection ability had improved slightly. But for now, it could travel for
about five meters at most. When Franklin and the others were at the doorstep earlier, he still could
sense them. He could sense them after they had entered the house.
When he saw Levi, he was a little startled.
