âHahahaâ¦â
Back in the main hall, seeing Alex safe and sound, Brittany, Geronimo, and everyone else let out a
breath of relief. Geronimo asked what Grant had spoken to him about, and Alex found some excuses to
muddle through the questioning before everyone started chatting once again.
Then, Geronimo brought up a topic that he wasnât aware of being sensitive and said, âDaughter, your
husband has already been gone for a year. Youâre young and beautiful. You canât intend to stay
widowed forever, right? Do you want me to ask your second mother to find you a suitable man?â
Alex immediately replied, âNo!â
Geronimo glared at Alex. âOh, you stinky brat. You already have so many wives and concubines. How
can you let your mother be a widow? Your mother is also a normal woman, and she has needs. It canât
be that you expect her to rely on herself only every day?â
This old man was speaking so shamelessly.
Brittanyâs face was already flushed from embarrassment and immediately interrupted Geronimoâs
words. âLetâs not talk about this anymore. I wonât agree to it.â
Geronimo blamed Alex as he said, âDaughter, donât be bothered by this kid. Heâs already so old, and
you donât have to put too much consideration into his acceptance. The most important thing is your
happiness. A woman canât be happy in life without a man, donât you think so?â
After a pause, he continued, âThere are a lot of good men in Alaska. There are officials. There are the
rich ones. Some are advanced in martial arts and even celebrities. As long as you like it, I will definitely
help you as your father.â
Alex rolled his eyes and thought, âSomeday, my father is going to come back, and if he finds out that
his wife has remarried, he might explode on the spot.â
However, looking at Geronimo, it seemed that the old man wasnât just saying the words. He was
genuinely concerned that this old man would end up matchmaking his mother, and even if it didnât work
out in the end. Once word got out, it wouldnât be good for his motherâs reputation.
Alex spoke immediately. âNo, I already said no, so, nooo!â
âI say, you kid. Why canât you stand in your motherâs shoes and think about it? I know you canât accept
having a stepfather emotionally, but your father is already goneâ¦â
âHeâs not dead.â
âHeâs already gone for a year, and youâre saying heâs not dead? He⦠Uh, what did you just say?â
Geronimo was taken aback.
Brittanyâs eyes widened. âAlex, what did you say? Your father isnât dead? What do you mean?â
âUhâ¦â Alex scratched his cheeks. âAlright, Iâll tell you the truth. My dad faked his death. Heâs not dead!â
Boom!
Brittany felt like a bomb had gone off in her mind. She grasped her sonâs hand tightly. âHe faked his
death? Then, where is he now? Where is he? Why didnât he come to us?â
âI donât know the specifics about his whereabouts right now,â Alex said. âBut the ashes of his arenât real,
and it was ashes of an old sow. According to my investigations over the past six months, he may have
gone to a specific placeâ¦â
Brittany was so excited that she was incapable of being any more excited at this moment.
When Alex had said that his father wasnât just some ordinary commoner, that not only was he a
Grandmaster, and he was also a cultivator and head military instructor in Hidden Dragon, everyone
present was stunned. Even Geronimo.
As for Brittany, she knocked her forehead and muttered, âHidden Dragon, Hidden Dragon⦠I⦠I feel
like thereâs some impression of it. B-But why canât I remember anything? I should remember it, I⦠â
She was acting strangely. Then, after a while, she suddenly exclaimed and fell to the ground.
âAh! Morn, Mom! Whatâs wrong!â
âDaughter, Daughter?!â
Brittany had fainted unexpectedly, and everyone was terrified.
As the Ultimate Book of Medicine inheritor, Alex hurriedly examined her using various methods, and the
results surprised him.
There was something abnormal about Brittanyâs soul!
Ordinary people had three souls and seven spirit components to their entire soul, and none of them
were indispensable. However, Brittany only had two soul and six spirit components, lacking one each
from the components. And she appeared to be normal because, in her sea of consciousness, two Soul
Substitute Lotus Seeds served as the substitute of those components missing from her soul.
