In the next ten seconds, more people threw up blood, and some even fell to the ground, unknown
whether they were alive or dead.
Alex suddenly walked over and pressed down on the zither strings with his hand.
âEnough!â
The sound of zither stopped abruptly.
Luna glanced coldly at Alex. âWho allowed you to touch my Sky-Devil Zither?â
She curled her finger, and one of the strings vibrated violently.
Snap!
It hit Alexâs hand.
Alex pulled back his hand quickly from the pain, shaking his hand behind his back a couple of times as
he said, âThereâs a lot of people here who had been kept in the dark and deceived. Most of them are
not guilty of any crime that deserves death.â
âYouâre someone who tries to be on good terms with everyone.â Luna snorted, but she kept away her
zither.
âGet lost!â
In the blink of an eye, the Melvis family compound that had been overcrowded with people suddenly
receded like a tide.
Countless people regretted their actions. Wasnât it better to have just stayed at home, watch some TV,
or surf the net?
Instead, they had decided to be here to dig their graves.
That was the Sky-Devil Zither. Then, that woman must be the Old Moon Devil, right?
The guests who all came to attend the Melvis family banquet ran away. They needed to run and get
away even if they were still
coughing up blood while doing so!
Brayden didnât leave. His gaze was fixed upon Nathaniel Swartz and Justin Melvis. The Lomax family
couldnât deal with Alex and Freya, but these two had been using the Lomax family since the beginning.
First, they had used Troy, and after Troy died, they used Brayden!
âHahahaha!â Brayden laughed widely. âGreat! Very good! As expected of Geronimo Melvisâ grandson!
Using tricks and conspiring like this, making a fool out of me, Brayden Lomax. Killing my son and
almost killing my entire Lomax family! Iâm such a fool!â
He waved his hand!
Justin was in his hands the next moment.
Alex had long since withdrawn the mind control he had over Justin, and Justin was completely sober
and aware at this time. His face was filled with terror, and he was just about to pee his pants from fright.
âU-U-Uncle⦠Uncle Brayden, no, it has nothing to do with me⦠It was Nathaniel. Everything was his
idea! Nathaniel was also the one who called Troy over. If you want revenge, go for Nathaniel!â
Nathaniel sneered at Justin. âJustin Melvis, youâre a f*cking joke. Troy canât accept my invitation
because youâre from the Melvis family that he gave you some face. You want to pin the blame onto
meâ¦â
The two brothers were throwing each other under the bus in a life or death situation!
Alex suddenly felt his interest waning.
It had been supposed to be a banquet for the Melvis family, and now it had descended into a chaotic
mess. He helped Brittanny up and said, âMom, weâre not from the Melvis family from the start, and
weâve been away for a long time. No one takes us seriously, and weâve just become a thorn in their
side. Other than Grandpa, no one else has anything to do with us!â
Brittany sighed.
The Melvis familyâs attitude had bitterly disappointed her.
She thought that Lexia was sincere towards her, but when the Melvis family was in trouble, the old
woman abandoned Alex and herself and even refused to allow Geronimo to save his daughter. It was
apparent that everything before this had just been a façade.
They only treated Brittany kindly because they wanted to gain more trust from Geronimo.
Wealthy people really were cold and frivolous.
Brittany covered the wound on her shoulder and said, âAlex, letâs go home! California is where our
home truly is.â
Alex nodded.
As for the life and death of Justin and Nathaniel, he didnât want to bother about them nor did he want
to!
âAlex!â Soraya yelled out at this moment and said anxiously, âAlex, save my brother! Please, youâre the
only one who can save him now! Please, I only have one brother!â
Alex didnât even turn.
Soraya continued, âAlex, are you so unfeeling that you would be unwilling to help?â
Freya couldnât help but say, âYour brother wanted to kill him, and now you want him to save your
brother? Is there something wrong with your head? The fact that Alex didnât just kill him is already an
act of benevolence.â
âAlexâ¦â Soraya said. âIâm begging you, at least for the sake of the fact we were once married.â
