Alex wasnât alone, however. Next to him was the ethereal Aunt Rockefeller, wearing a flowy white
dress, looking as if she was attending a wedding instead of a funeral.
The Larsens, a family of three, arrived with them. Wayne had surprisingly tagged along as well.
Apart from them, Zachary from the Divine Constabulary was present too.
When he noticed Lord Commander from Department Six, Zachary was shocked. Slightly terrified, he
mumbled to himself. âWhy is be here?â
Although his voice was soft, Alex could hear what he said.
Alex turned his head and asked, âMr. Xavier, who are you talking to?â
Zachary took a few glances toward Lord Commander and whispered. âThat guy, the one with a beardâ¦
Thatâs Lord Commander of Department Six, the highest commander in their department. I really didnât
expect this powerful man to be here as well.â
Alex looked at the man. âDepartment Six? What is that?â
Unexpectedly, when Alex turned to look at him, Lord Commander seemed to have sensed his gaze and
turned to look at Alex as well. The two pairs of eyes met for a brief moment.
Suddenly, Lord Commander flashed Alex a soft, easy going smile, as if he had just seen a relative.
However, this very smile made Zachary, who was standing behind Alex, speechless.
Grace seemed to know what Department Six was as well. Upon hearing their conversation, she was
surprised. âHeâs Lord Commander? I didnât expect the Zimmer family to have invited this man right
here. If heâs siding with the Zimmers, then the situation must be way different than we had assumed.â
Wayne frowned. âThatâs Lord Commander? If the Zimmers are any way related to Lord Commander,
then why would they let Easton do such immoral things just for the sake of gaining the power of our
family in Alaska?â
***
This was exactly what Quentin was asking as well.
The Lord Commander of Department Six is Grant Xenos, an extremely powerful figure of high status.
He worked for the government and had access to every official in the country. Moreover, Department
Six was an extremely well hidden department. The Divine Constabulary was nothing compared to it.
If the Divine Constabulary was responsible for taking care of the public, Department Six was
responsible for the entire government. Compared to the Divine Constabulary, Department Six was far
more mysterious and higher in class too.
Hence, this was why the top official of Department Six was nicknamed Lord Commander.
Quentin knew that he had nothing to do with Lord Commander, nor had they ever met in the past. He
had no idea why this man showed up out of nowhere. When they met earlier, he had almost knelt
before him despite his title of governor.
His wife, Snow, had to remind him, âDid you forget that your backbone was fairly acquainted with Lord
Commander? Now that theyâre dead, he probably came over to help you out since youâre still an
official. He might even ask you to join his department!â
Quentin slapped his own thigh. âOh right! Why didnât I think of that? That must be why.â
Snow smiled scornfully. âNow that the Lord Commander sides with us, why should we still be afraid of
the Divine Constabulary? Even the Larsens would have to kneel before him and suck his toes if he
wanted them to!â
Quentinâs eyes looked cruel as he nodded.
Snow continued. âThe death of our son and daughter will be avenged. They canât possibly die without
any companion. So, Alex Rockefeller and Phoebe Larson must die today! Besides, Rockefellerâs entire
family would be captured. I told Flora to do so ages ago. By the time Easton and Viole are buried, their
heads would be buried along with them as sacrifices. Now that I think about it, Sister Flora has
probably finished the job by now.â
Just as they finished their discussion, the couple noticed that Alex and the others had arrived.
âThey have the balls. Iâll give them that! They actually came!â
âSo thatâs the guy who killed Easton and Viole?â
âHe looks unfamiliar! Why did Mr. Larsen find such an ordinary guy to be his son-in-law? Easton is
better than him, no matter how you look at it!â
âYouâre so stupid. Donât you know that that guy is the grandson of the president of the Divine
Constabulary? No matter their background or status, Easton wouldnât stand a chance. Besides, there
may be a lot of governors in America, but there really is just one president of the Divine Constabulary.â
Everyone started whispering to one another.
This included those that appeared at the Larsensâ three days ago, including Lanette from the Glen
family and Diego from the Sinclair family. Their cores had been destroyed by Alex, causing their hatred
for him to sprout from deep within.
After realizing that Lord Commander was here to attend the funeral, they were all exhilarated.
When Alex and the others walked into the hall, however, they didnât look like they were planning on
paying their respects to the dead.
âKneel!â
âGive both Easton and Viole eighteen kowtows each, right now! To repent for your sins!â
A woman was standing at the side. She was Quentinâs sister, Agnes Zimmer.
After noticing that Alex and Phoebe had arrived, their stern expressions enraged her, causing her to
speak out in rage.
