Boom! Boom!
On a high speed train heading towards Missouri, Alex and Aunt Rockefeller were sitting together, while
Zella and Winniefred were on the other side of the aisle.
Alex asked Aunt Rockefeller in a low voice, âAunt, what do you intend for Zella to do, by bringing her
along like this?â
Aunt Rockefeller blurted out, âTo be your wife, how about that? Didnât your mother hope for you to
marry a few more wives, so that you can give her more grandchildren? Itâs great now, you can marry
Zella Yaeger and even have a ready made granddaughter.â
Alex smiled bitterly and in exasperation. âCan you stop talking nonsense?â
Aunt Rockefeller shot him a glare with her beautiful eyes, then pulled him hard.
âOwâ¦!â
Alex opened his mouth wide, almost making a squeal that sounded like a pig getting slaughtered.
Just as he was about to fight back, Aunt Rockefeller became serious again and said, âDo you
remember the Witch Doctor Sectâs ancestor from last time? We both nearly died in his hands last time.
Itâs not that there arenât any masters in this world, itâs just that we havenât met them! Weâve killed the
Witch Doctor Sectâs ancestor, but do you think that the people from Witch Doctor Sect will take it lying
down? Thereâs no movement from them right now, but itâs likely that theyâre brewing a bigger action.
Hence, we have to make preparations in advance.â
âYou want to train Zella?â
âSheâs a very good seedling. If Iâm not wrong, the hidden bloodline in her body is called the Nine Tails!
Women with this bloodline will have great combat power once they grow up. If she cooperates with a
set of joint assault battle formation, her power will greatly improve.â
âWhatâs joint assault battle formation?â
âThe one that I told you about before, the Beautyâs Heart Sutra! Okay, fine, itâs actually called Fair
Maidenâs Heart Sutra. It can be used as a single attack or in a group by cooperating with battle
formation. Its power surpasses those of one plus one greater than two! The battle formation has a
name, itâs called the Eight Desolated Killing Formation, but that requires eight women to practice and
cooperate together in order to do that.â
Aunt Rockefeller sighed when she talked about this. âBut, up till now, Iâve only managed to gather four
people. Adding on Genbu from the Colemans, thereâs still only five. I still need three more people, and
itâs exhausting to find those people! And you stinky brat, always make me angry!â
As she said that, her head tilted and leaned against Alexâs chest.
âHey, youâ¦â
âDonât bother me, I want to sleep for a while!â
Soon, she closed her eyes and didnât make any movements.
Alex looked at Aunt Rockefeller in his arms blankly, feeling extremely complicated. He had a delusion
that he and Aunt Rockefeller seemed to have known each other for many years and they were in a very
close relationship.

It was already one oâclock in the middle of the night by the time they reached Missouri. They randomly
found a star rated hotel near the station to spend the night.
Early in the morning the next day, Aunt Rockefeller called Zella and Winniefred over.
âUncle!â When Winniefred saw Alex, she immediately rushed over and hugged his thigh. The intimate
gesture made Alex feel quite surprised as well.
âWinnie. Howâs your sleep last night?â Alex asked casually as he touched the back of her head.
âNot good!â The little girl said in a childish voice as she raised her head.
âUh⦠You like living in the basement, but you donât like living in a hotel?â Alex asked, surprised at her
answer.
Winniefred shook her head. âItâs not that. This place is very nice and big, and itâs much better than the
basement we had lived in before, but⦠Winnie was worried that once Winnie closed her eyes, she
would never see Uncle again once she opened her eyes.â
The childâs answer that was filled with innocence made Alex slightly emotional. However, it also
reflected sideways that Zella and her daughterâs life was very difficult before this.
âThatâs right, I havenât asked yet, but whereâs Winnieâs father?â Alex turned to Zella and asked.
This question made Zellaâs expression instantly turn sorrowful and lonely.
Alex realized that he had asked a silly question.
Winniefred pursed her lips and answered instead, âWinnie never had a daddy since she was a child.
Uncle, could I call you daddy? Could you pretend to be my daddy?â
