âSoul Substitute Lotus Seed?â
âWhy is it here?!â
Once Alex had examined Brittanyâs condition, he collapsed to the ground in disbelief.
Geronimo was also dumbfounded and quickly asked, âWhat is this Soul Substitute Lotus Seed? Alex,
hurry up and tell us! Whatâs wrong with your mother?â
Maya, Waltz, Michelle, and everyone else were also distracted and summed, and they hurriedly helped
Alex off the ground.
Alexâs face was pale, and his heart ached. âMy motherâs soul is not complete. Usually, a personâs soul
has three souls and seven spirits components to make up a whole soul. But, she only has two souls
and six spirits components. Sheâs missing one from each, and the Soul Substitute Lotus Seed is
serving as a substitute for those missing parts. Itâs a kind of spiritual device, and itâs really rare, but
there are times when it will also shatter.â
âWhat?!â
âThen, how is Mom now?â Maya asked.
âAlthough she appears to be normal with the use of the Soul Substitute Lotus Seed, itâs a consumable
item. In time, the device will eventually lose its powers. Also, if the spirit and mind deteriorate
excessively, the consumption of the spiritual device will be faster. Once itâs consumed, it will come to
this, and the person will be no different than a vegetative person. Moreover, if thereâs no Soul
Substitute Lotus Seed, the longer the components of the soul are missing, there will be deeper side
effects after!â
When he said it till here, Alex hated himself deeply and whacked his own head.
âHow could I be so stupid and not be able to see this earlier?â
âHer situation when she was in a coma was more beneficial to her! The Lotus Seedâs spiritual powers
wouldnât be consumed if she had been in that state. Itâs because of my self-righteousness. Itâs me. Iâm
the one who did this to her!â
Maya burst into tears and hugged Alex. âBrother, donât be like this! You didnât want this! The most
important thing right now is to find a way to save Mom! After the Soul Substitute Lotus Seed has been
consumed, can we still find any more? And where can we find it?â
Alex pulled himself together and slowly calmed down before saying, âSoul Substitute Lotus Seeds are
dark items, and they generally grow underground. For example, large tombsâ¦â
Just as he said that he suddenly slapped his thigh as a thought came into his head.
âI understand. I understand now why my father went into Caesarâs tomb! He must have gone in to look
for the Soul Substitute Lotus Seed, he⦠I found that he went again into Caesarâs tomb, and that was
also the last place he was seen. Could it be that heâs stuck inside and unable to come out?â
Alex was taken aback by his guess.
He had always thought that his father entered the tomb for other things, such as the key that
corresponded to the Holy Book or something else, and that once he got it, he had faked his death to
head somewhere else. However, if he had gone into the tomb to look for the Lotus Seed, he should
have returned earlier.
Now that he had been gone for a year. It was highly likely that he really hasâ¦
Alex didnât dare to linger too long on this line of thought.
Alex needed to hurry to the tomb as soon as possible.
âMaybe, maybe he was still alive!â

Ring ring, ring ring!
Cherylâs phone rang.
She also knew about what had happened in Thousand Miles over the past two days, but she was just a
doctor with limited abilities and knew that she wouldnât be much help at all. So, she could only watch as
the situation developed. Fortunately, she received news that the danger looming over Thousand Miles
had passed.
Just an hour ago, the officials in California had issued a special notice to clarify and clear up Thousand
Miles Conglomerateâs name. With evidence to prove their innocence.
As for the previous large-scale store closures and unfavorable remarks that had clamored up, the
police had come forward to state that there had been criminals who had reported those things. These
criminals had violated the law by planting those
malicious comments as well as setting up Thousand Miles. However, everything had been looked into
new, and the criminals had been apprehended. All negative news about Thousand Miles had been
withdrawn completely.
The moment the news came out, California was once again in a stir.
Some were happy, while some were worried.
Especially those who hadnât been able to withstand the pressure. When the Thousand Miles
Conglomerate was in trouble, all the personnel who had suggested to resign had been blacklisted by
Waltz and would never be hired again. Those companies that failed to withstand the pressure and
terminated their contracts with Thousand Miles had also suffered losses of varying
degrees. Even if there were future collaborations, these companies would be ranked at the bottom of
the list.
Therefore, Cheryl felt relieved as well.
