The man in the ghost mask was stunned for a moment. âWhat do you mean? Do you know who I am?â
he asked in a spooky voice.
His voice sounded as if it came from beneath manholes. It was very uncomfortable to listen to.
Alex Rockefeller sighed softly. âI hoped it wasnât you!â
Maya Howards seemed a little surprised. âDo you know him?â she asked Alex.
The ghost mask man sneered. âStop pretending. How could you know who I am? Cut the crap, young
man. Will you get lost or not? If you donât leave, you can stay here forever. This time next year, itâll be
your death anniversary,â he said.
Unexpectedly, Alex also said something that greatly stunned Maya, âWhoâs pretending here? Do you
think I canât recognize you just because you put on a ghost mask and modified your voice a little,
Papa?â
âAhh..!â Maya immediately cried out. âH-he⦠Is he Papa? How is that possible?â
Of course, Maya couldnât believe it. She also refused to believe it. In her heart, Papa was a significant
person. She had said earlier that he was like her family.
On the other hand, Papa also said that he treated Maya like his own daughter, and he was her family.
Moreover, how could such a jolly, handsome man who cooked delicious noodles be a bandit who
blocked other peopleâs paths?
âNo! I donât believe it. He canât be Papa!â Maya shouted.
Alex shook his head. âI donât want to believe it either, but this is the truth!â
âWhat âPapaâ nonsense are you talking about? Donât randomly address someone as your family
member. I donât have a son or daughter like you two. Iâll count to three. If you donât leave, young man,
youâll not be able to get away! One, twoâ¦â The ghost mask man barked.
Alex shook his head gently. Even if the man in the ghost mask argued against him, it wouldnât work.
Alex claimed the man in the ghost mask was Papa, not based on his outward appearance but based on
the mysterious pearlâs vibration in Alexâs upper energy core. That was because Alex had sensed Mr.
Hansonâs unique quality in the restaurant earlier. Another person like that couldnât possibly just appear
suddenly.
âThree!â the man shouted.
When the man saw that Alex was standing still and didnât move, seemingly determined to leave with
Maya, he shouted and charged at Alex.
However, Alex was much faster than him.
Shuffleâ¦
It was almost as if Alex had teleported. His shadow flashed past the man. In the next moment, the man
sensed a coolness upon his face. His ghost mask was gone.
âAhhâ¦!â The man shouted in surprise. He completely didnât expect Alex to have such speed and
powers. He could neither stop Alex nor dodge him.
Just as Alex passed him by, he quickly tried to cover his face with his hands.
However, it was already too late. His hands couldnât cover his face completely either.
Meanwhile, Maya was also a woman with strong cultivation. The moment Alex removed the manâs
mask, she had already seen his face clearly. Who else could he be if not Papa Hanson from the
restaurant?
After seeing his face clearly, Mayaâs heart sank. Her eyes turned red once more. âPapa, it really is you!
Why is it you? You⦠Why are you doing this?â she asked sadly.
Papa Hanson closed his eyes before opening them again. After that, he gently put his hands down to
show his face fully.
Indeed, it was Papa!
Since Papa Hanson had already been exposed, he decided not to pretend anymore. âMaya, donât
blame in e! You can only blame yourself for having this unique bloodline! Most importantly, you even
activated the bloodline in your body. I couldnât resist it! In the past, when you havenât activated it yet, I
could still get over it after bearing with it for a while. But why did you activate it?â he asked.
Maya wiped away a drop of tear that was falling down her face. After that, she suddenly seemed
determined.
âSo, what were you planning to do to me after finding out that my unique bloodline had been
activated?â she asked coldly.
