In reality, Brittany and the others were currently near the Zimmersâ home. They didnât follow them inside
since they couldnât predict what was going to happen later on. Hence, waiting outside would only do
them good.
If the situation deteriorated, Alex and Aunt Rockefeller could escape with case since they had the
agility to do so. However, if they had more people to protect, it would only trouble them further.
In just a few moments, they met up with Brittany, Maya, and the others.
âAlex, are you alright?â Brittany grabbed Alexâs hand and asked worriedly. âWe just saw a large
helicopter land in there, and there were so many uniformed men! We were worried sick.â
âIâm okay. Everythingâs settled now, â Alex replied.
Brittany nodded. âGood. Now donât make such rash decisions from now on. Think before you take
action, and donât kill so often.â
âYes, mom!â
While they spoke, Geronimo couldnât keep his eyes off of Brittany. Even after all these years of
separation, he was still able to recognize her.
Brittany was already ten by the time she left. Hence most of her facial features were still recognizable
even after forty years.
âMy dear daughter!â Geronimo croaked, his voice quivering.
Brittany was still just focusing on her son at the time. She was very much startled when she heard
Geronimo. Lifting her gaze, she saw her father. After forty years, the middle-aged man she used to
know was now an old man with white hair and wrinkles. His eyes were filled with emotion that none
could read.
At that very moment, Brittany felt as though every emotion she had ever felt was welling up inside her
chest. She opened her mouth but not a single word could come out.
Geronimo gave her a big hug as he cried hysterically. âMy dear daughter! Daddy finally found you! After
forty years! I missed you so much!â
At first, Brittany was slightly reluctant to accept his sudden affection. She remembered just how much
she hated her father back then. However, after meeting up with Lexia, she was able to clear up a lot of
misunderstandings that she had.
She realized that Geronimo, too, was a victim in all this.
After all these years, he still wanted to know where she and her mother, Yvonne, had gone. Yet all this
suffering had been caused by only one person, Ruby.

As father and daughter reunited, the Larsens knew that they shouldnât stay any longer. As Michiganâs
magistrate, Wayne had to tend to his duties anyway since Quentin messed with the media a week ago.
Now that he was arrested, Wayne had to answer to the officials in Michigan and deal with the
aftermath.
Hence, the Larsens took their leave, whereas Alex and the others headed to Lush Cosmetics.
After such a long separation, the two obviously had a lot to say to each other.
Alex even voluntarily gave them some space so that they could have some alone time.
After two hours or so, Brittany came out of the room, eyes reddened. She turned to Alex and said,
âAlex, letâs go visit your grandmotherâs grave tomorrow.â
Alex nodded. âAlright.â
Geronimo patted Alex on the shoulder. âYouâre all grown up now, huh, kiddo? Your mother and I had
separated for forty years. I heard that back then when you first came to my place. You almost wrecked
the entire house!â
Alex raised an eyebrow and asked, âI gave Ruby and Bennett a parasitic worm each and forced them
to repent their sins in front of my grandmotherâs grave for three months. Do you have an opinion on
that?â
Geronimo huffed. âYeah, what are you going to do about it?â
Alex shook his head. âNothing, really! For now, you donât stand a chance against me.â
âWhat? Iâm your grandfather, plus Iâve achieved the Martial Honor rank How could you say I donât stand
a chance? Can you really defeat a Martial Honor ranked fighter?â
