Lexia took a glance at Alex and nodded towards Shaun. âHe really is the presidentâs grandchild.â
âAhâ¦â
âWhat? Heâs really his grandchild? How is that possible?â
All of them widened their eyes. They just couldnât believe it.
Stephanie, on the other hand, couldnât seem to find her daughter at all. In a panic, she asked, âShaun,
whereâs my daughter? Where is she?â
With that, Shaun fell silent. After two seconds, he pointed toward Alex. âHim! He was the one who did
some kind of trick in this area and killed Soraya!â
âWhat?â exclaimed the women in the Melvis family.
Stephanie glared at Alex furiously. âYou⦠Youâve crossed the line! Soraya is your cousin, for Godâs
sake! How could you have killed her? Bring my daughter back! Iâll kill you off myself! A soul for a soul!â
Stephanie went hysteric and punched Alex mindlessly.
However, there was just no way that she could possibly hit Alex.
âStop panicking!â Alex grabbed Stephanie by the wrists. âYou believe him just because he said your
daughter died?â
âWhat do you mean by that? If sheâs still alive, where is she?â
âIâll just bring her over to you.â
Alex smiled softly and took a step out of the boat, hopping right into the lake. However, he didn ât sink
into the water at all, managing to stand on the surface with ease, as if he was walking on hard ground.
In just seconds, he disappeared.
âHuh? He disappeared?â Stephanie exclaimed. The rest of the Melvis family were shocked as well.
Sky was just as confused and surprised as the rest. This was his first time ever seeing the powers of a
talisman, after all.
Anna, on the other hand, was not confused one bit. Back in Michigan, when Lex was captured, she had
been trapped within a talisman as well, almost ending up getting pregnant despite being a virgin. If it
werenât for Alex, she wouldâve ended up with a
terrible fate.
She patted Sky on the shoulder and smiled. âMy masterâs powers are quite mysterious, huh? Are you
shocked this time?â
Sky smiled back. âAnna, you really have to learn more from Alex. If you do, youâd be able to exceed my
abilities, or even Uncle Zacharyâs! Your future would be limitless.â
Suddenly, Anna was reminded of Maya, a genius who managed to become a half-stepped grandmaster
within three months. Anna sighed. âTalent is the most important factor, though!â
At the same time, as Alex disappeared from everyoneâs sight, he had entered another area of the
talisman. This part was called The Gates To Hell.
When one was stuck here, theyâd be affected by the talisman drastically. Due to sheer pressure on their
bodies, their movements would be restricted, and they might even start hallucinating.
When he came into the area, he noticed Soraya lying on the boat, her clothes a mess. Both her arms
were moving around, doing unsightly matters out in the open. It was unclear what illusions she was
having at the time but Alex noticed a lot of blood on her body.
Swooshâ¦
Alex reached his hand out and changed the position of the talisman, destroying all hallucinations in this
area.
He inserted a flow of mental power into Sorayaâs brain, sobering her up. âWake up, Soraya!â
Almost instantly, Soraya crawled up to her feet.
Noticing Alex in front of her, she seemed shocked. âRockefeller! So it was you! Donât you dare come
any closer and do that again!â
Alex stared at her silently, not saying a word.
Soraya lowered her head to check on herself. Something just felt odd to her. There was a pool of blood
under her body. It hurt a lot. Shuddering, she wanted to cry but was extremely helpless. She yelled at
him. âYou⦠You b*stard! What have you done to me?â
