Without Hayley Hanson keeping an eye on him, Alex Rockefeller probably wouldnât even have made it
into a third-rate university.
To be honest, being watched over by someone was a sort of happiness on its own.
That was probably what âyoung loveâ referred to!
âAlex, what happened to you?â Maya Howards saw Alex behaving oddly, and she saw a tear falling
down his cheeks. For some unknown reason, her heart ached. She rarely saw Alex in such a state.
Meanwhile, Anna Coleman, being the tigress she was, started speaking straightforwardly. âHey, master.
Whatâs wrong with you? Why are you crying?â
Maya glared at Anna.
A single glare was enough to make Anna freeze. Anna was actually feeling afraid. She then obediently
kept her mouth shut.
âShe sat next to me in class! Since the first day of senior high, weâve sat next to each other for three
years. Three months before the university entrance exam, she suddenly disappeared. Sheâs⦠A very
good friend of mine!â Alex said.
Maya fell silent, and so did Anna.
âThis means that Hayley really is Papa Hansonâs biological daughter. But why did he bury her in this
blood pool? Why did he use so much blood from black cats to feed her? Could he be hoping to revive
her?â Maya said after a while.
Alex was slightly stunned.
This was a likely possibility!
Could Hayley have suffered from a terminal illness and discovered that he had little time left? Was this
why she was forced to stop school and ended up sealed away in this place?
When this thought came to Alexâs mind, even he became a little shocked.
He quickly checked on Hayleyâs condition inside the frozen coffin. However, it was difficult to find out
how she was doing based on his observational Chi alone.
Click!
Alex found the switch on the side to open the coffin. After flicking it on, the coffinâs lid slowly opened,
exposing Hayleyâs body.
As soon as Hayley came into contact with the outside air, her face gradually turned from the reddish
tone it was before to a pale white.
Meanwhile, Hayleyâs heart actually started to make a soft beating sound.
âSheâs still alive!â Alex was both shocked and joyful.
Meanwhile, Maya could hear the soft beating from Hayleyâs heart as well. âIs she really still alive?â
Maya was incomparably shocked.
âThatâs right. Sheâs still alive. She can still be saved!â Alex exclaimed.
If Hayleyâs heart was beating, it meant she still had a pulse.
Alex immediately checked Hayleyâs pulse. Using his spiritual power, he tried to protect her body.
However, just as Alex tried to transfer spiritual power into Hayleyâs body, her body reacted.
Her condition had worsened. Her face became even paler, and she was barely breathing.
Not only was Alexâs spiritual power not healing Hayleyâs body, but it was destroying the remaining
functions in her body that still worked.
Alex was shocked. He quickly withdrew his spiritual power.
Right after that, he used his ordinary Thirteen Acupunctures of Hell. Only then did Hayleyâs condition
stabilize.
âHow did it go? Can you save her?â Maya asked.
Alex shook his head. âHer body has a unique condition. I canât think of a way in such a short whileâ¦
Looks like Papa Hanson created the huge formation under the villa to save his daughter.â
After thinking for a while, Alex jumped into the pit earlier to check out the spell formation with the
ancient text.
Alex discovered that this formation was the Life Extension Spell Formation from the chapter on witch
doctors in the Ultimate Book of Medicine. However, Mr. Hanson clearly didnât learn all of it. He ended
up creating an incomplete formation. After that, he thought of using the Blood Cultâs Bloodthirsty
Demonic Art to make up for the incomplete portion.
Not only did it require a vast pool of blood, but it also needed special blood from individuals with unique
bloodlines, as well as their bloodlineâs energy, to maintain this incomplete spell formation.
âSigh. Although thereâs only a slight difference, it could result in a huge mistake! How did you think of
using demonic cultivation to make up for the Zharvakko spell formation?â Alex asked out loud.
With a flip of his hand, Alex summoned the Dragon Bone Sword. It instantly started carving on the
stone walls, correcting the original mistakes on the Life Extension Spell Formation. After that, Alex
placed the crystal coffin back in its original spot.
âMaster, why did you put it back in there?â Anna asked.
âThis place is beneficial for her. Weâll temporarily keep her here. Weâll come back for her once I think of
a way,â Alex answered.
âCould she be a member of the Blood Cult too?â Anna asked.
âImpossible!â Alex was stunned momentarily.
âEven if she were, Iâd still want to save her,â he added after a pause.
âDonât worry. Iâll keep it a secret for you,â Anna said.
Alex found no treasure, but he ended up finding a female classmate he had a crush on before. Alex
had a lot of mixed emotions. After that, they left the underground blood pool and returned to the villa to
continue looking for evidence.
However, there wasnât any clue that linked them to the Blood Cult.
Despite that, Anna found a journal in a room. âMaster, I found a journal. Your picture is on it!â she called
out.
