When Sky said that, Alex noticed the sheer helplessness in his eyes. He looked as if he was about to
cry.
âI guess itâs only reasonable.â
âOld lady⦠Iâm guessing itâs Sorayaâs grandmother, Lexia. Sheâs considered an extremely important
figure in the family, considering sheâs one of the presidentâs wives.â
âAs one of the team leaders in Divine Constabulary, it was only normal for Sky to be extra careful with
her.â
âThe lady is quite old. If anything were to happen to her in his home, or if she just died right there and
then, he would be in big trouble.â
âDid she come alone? And just moved into your place?â Alex asked.
âAlone? There were eight of them! All women! How could I handle all of that?â Sky started complaining.
âI canât even go home now. When I do, Iâd be scared for my life, scared that something might happen to
any of them.â
After hearing this, Alex almost snorted in laughter.
âWhy didnât they come look for me instead?â Alex asked with a smile.
Sky replied. âYou and your aunt have made such a commotion in Alaska. Besides, youâre the
presidentâs grandchild, so I guess they were just trying to avoid conflict. Thatâs why they wanted me to
be the middleman. But Iâve been handling them for days! I canât go on anymore. All they do now is play
poker in the constabulary in the morning and head back to bed at my place! How can we work properly
like this?â
Alex pondered for a few seconds.
âSoraya and the others have been trapped in Moonlight Lake for like, five days. I guess itâs time to
release them.â
âFive days is enough time for a lot of things to happen. Iâll show them mercy since weâre relatives.â
âAlright then, letâs go to Moonlight Lake!â
After that, the three headed straight to their destination.
***
In the middle of the lake, Shaun, Lochlan, and the other four half-stepped grandmasters were lying on
the deck like dead fish. All of them looked like they were about to take their last breath.
Even grandmasters needed food and water to survive, after all.
They had sufficient water all around them, but it felt awful having to starve for five days. Not only did
they lack food, but they were utterly unable to make contact with the outside world. This was just pure
torture.
âIf I get out one day, I will definitely kill that Rockefeller b*stard! No, I would kill his entire family! I would
kill his entire bloodline!â Shaun laid there as he mumbled to himself, filled with hatred and bloodthirst As
a grandmaster that had been praised and worshipped, he had never experienced such torment in his
lifetime.
Just then, an old ladyâs voice rang in their ears. âWhose bloodline are you going to kill?â
Upon hearing this, all of them shuddered.
Itâs been five days!
After five days of being trapped in an unknown space, they felt as if they were caged in from the entire
world. It seemed as if not even a fish could enter their area, let alone humans.
Hence, when they heard a strangerâs voice, all were extremely excited and overwhelmed.
âWhoâs there?â
âWho said that?â
They turned around and found another boat silently coming their way from the east side of the lake.
âHow is this possible?â
They had tried getting out from the east multiple times. Hence they had no idea how this boat found its
way in. Lochlan was so overwhelmed that he was going to cry. âMadame Lexia! Itâs Madame Lexia!
Madame, Iâm Lochlan, Iâm right here!â he screamed.
The one who spoke up a while ago was the second wife in the Melvis family, Lexia Rogers.
There were many people on the deck of the other boat. Alex, Sky, Anna, and the other few women from
the Melvis family, such as Sorayaâs mother, Stephanie Rogers, were also present.
Just then, Alex spoke up nonchalantly. âGuardian Baker, were you the one who wanted to end my
bloodline?â
Upon hearing that voice, Shaun turned his head towards the deck. He knew this voice all too well. It
belonged to that bastard, Rockefeller.
âIf it werenât for him, how would I be stuck in the middle of Moonlight Lake, unable to get out?â
He then noticed Alex sitting at the side of the ship, watching him with scorn.
âLooks like you still havenât learned your lesson after getting trapped here for five days. You should
continue staying here then!â
Shaun said, âHow dare you? You may be an Elder in the Divine Constabulary, but Iâm one of the Great
Guardians! Youâre crossing the line here! Are you trying to turn traitor?â
He then turned to Lexia. âMadame, this man is colluding with Zachary Xavier! Heâs an international
secret agent, pretending to be the presidentâs grandchild. Arrest him now! Else heâs going to cause
trouble!â
