âYoung Master Bayer, why are you kneeling before this brat? What is he even? Heâs not even qualified
to carry your shoes, and heâs worse than a pile of sh*tâ¦â
Franklin could not see what was so terrifying about Alex at all.
When Alex grabbed Levi through the air, he could not even see the mechanics behind it. How could he
know the fear in Leviâs mind now? Without the Four Great Ghost Servants, he could not even retaliate
Alex at all with his little cultivation base.
He wanted to scold Franklin so that he would stop talking.
However, he could not even speak now. Under the suppression of Alexâs mental power, his entire body
broke out in cold sweats, leaving only deep fear inside him.
âYou there, kneel too!â Alex said indifferently to Franklin.
Franklin laughed heartily. âWhat did you say? You want me to kneel? Are you even qualifiedâ¦â
As soon as he finished speaking, he uncontrollably fell to his knees.
âHuh?! W-what happened to me? Why did I kneel?â
Just as Franklinâs mind was full of panic because of his unbelievable behavior, Alex slapped him across
the face.
Smack!
Half of Franklinâs face was swollen from the slap as he bled from his mouth.
Alex said, âDo you know why I slapped you? Itâs because youâre unfilial! You eloped with another
woman for decades and didnât look after your aged parents, leaving them with no one to depend on.
They even had to endure criticisms from others. You deserve to be beaten!â
Franklinâs face was burning hot as anger rose in his heart, but he could not say a single word. He could
only stare at Alex with his eyes widened.
Smack!
It was another slap.
The slap made the grannyâs face twitch, but she did not say anything in the end. She was too
disappointed with her son. At first, she thought her prodigal son had returned. Never did she expect
that he came to sell off his daughter. She would rather not want her sonâ¦
She closed her eyes, seemingly in pain, then she turned around and entered the kitchen.
Whatever!
Even if her son were to be beaten to death, he deserved it too. She did not want to care about him
anymore. âThis slap is for your malice. You donât deserve to be a father. You only bring endless pain to
your daughter. Not only did you not raise her, but you even want to sell your daughter for profit!â
Smack! Smack! Smack!
It was another three slaps after that.
After Alex made the three slaps, a few teeth of Franklin fell out
âThese three slaps are to tell you that I shall not be insulted!â
âIf it werenât for you being Old Man Coneyâs son, you would have turned into a corpse now!â
As he spoke, he looked at the grandfather and grandchildren of the Coney family. He rummaged in his
pocket and took out a bottle. After getting a soybean sized pill out of the bottle, he flicked it into
Franklinâs mouth.
Only then was Franklin able to speak.
He touched his throat. âYou⦠What did you just feed me?!â
However, as soon as he finished speaking, he felt that something was not right There was a strange
spontaneous itch from his throat to belly. He could not help wanting to scratch the skin with his hands.
With a few swipes from the scratches, his skin started bleeding, followed closely by immense pain.
Franklin fell to the ground and rolled around, holding his stomach and howling.
âI⦠Iâm in so much pain. What is this thing? Help! Help! Dad, hurry and save me! Please, hurry and
save me!â
He kept wailing as his tears and snivels fell at the same time.
However, James remained unmoved. âIt serves your right, you brute. If you had known it would come to
this, why did you do those things? This is the retribution that you deserve. Even if you die in front of me
today, I wonât even beg a word for your sake.â
Franklin crawled up with difficulty and knelt before Alex. He groveled and knocked his head on the
ground for forgiveness. âIâm sorry. Iâm sorry, I was wrong. Please spare me! I⦠Iâm still Cherylâs dadâ¦â
Alex snapped his finger.
Franklinâs condition went away.
