Alcina replied. âGrave weeds, we need it to save lives.â
In reality, they definitely needed more than one herb to do so.
Alex pondered, but Luna spoke up instead. âWe can give you the token, but what are you guys offering
in exchange for it?â
âWhat would you guys want then?â
âDo you have any formation blueprints?â Alex blurted out.
He needed that urgently. First, he needed to unlock all the swords in Dragonâs Bane of Thirty-Six,
hence he needed to research large numbers of blueprints. Secondly, he had to fix the teleportation
circle that his father used.
Alcina took a few glances towards Alex, not saying a word.
Alex knew that something was up when he noticed her expression. This indicated that Floral Valley did
indeed have some formation blueprints.
âWe do have a set of formation boards, but I have to mention that the boards are incomplete, so theyâre
basically useless. As for formation blueprints⦠The only one in our clan thatâs researching this is
Jasmine.â
Alex looked towards Jasmine. He then was reminded that she managed to sneak in from outside of the
formation circle as well. She may be a low ranking cultivator, yet she was able to break through the
formation circle with ease. It was obvious that she had tricks up her sleeves.
In the end, they struck a deal with each other. Alex took the incomplete formation boards and decided
to bring Jasmine back with him for a few days. She was obligated to tell him everything she knew about
formation blueprints.
Alex, on the other hand, gave the members of Floral Valley ten tokens of the dungeon.
âWhen will the dungeon reappear?â
Alcina replied. âSoon, possibly around these two days.â
Just then, a ringtone rang from Alcinaâs pockets. âWeâre all in this togetherâ¦â
It felt quite humorous to hear that in this setting. It was unexpected from the president of Floral Valley to
like such ringtones.
âCould she be into square dancing?â
âPresident! The dungeon has appeared!â
Alex and Luna immediately heard the voice that came from the other end of the phone.
âSo it appeared early huh? Alright, weâll be there in a bit.â

Sitting on the boat that Floral Valley provided, Alex decided to call Dorothy.
At that time, Dorothy was at home, staring coldly at the two unexpected guests, The Assexs, Anderson
and Emma. The two were currently kneeling before her, begging profusely.
During this time, Dorothy had been completely hands off her business as the profits were nothing to her
at this point.
Assex Constructions and Dorothy-Alex Constructions just werenât big enough businesses.
âTakingâ money from others was much more profitable than doing that business after all.
When she stopped supervising the operations of her company, the Assexs started to stir up trouble
from within. Anderson used his title as a member of the Assex family and his position in the company to
carve out the companyâs stamp for private use. He had been using the companyâs name to buy
construction materials for himself.
This would cause the company to sustain a loss. Within just a few months, his methods caused the
company to lose nearly 200 million dollars.
It was obvious that he bit off more than he could chew. Besides that, Emma had started another
construction company on her own as well. She even brought most contracts that were signed with
Dorothyâs company to her private company using the excuse of it being one of the offices of Dorothy-
Alex Constructions.
However, they couldnât keep this secret forever and were caught red-handed for their actions.
Dorothy didnât mind, but Claire was enraged. Although she was no longer that extreme after being
cured, her softened demeanor was only towards Alex. She knew how powerful Alex is now after all, so
she knew to get on his good side.
However, her hatred towards the Assexs were engraved into her bones. She immediately suggested
sending Anderson and Emma to jail.
This frightened the father and daughter so much that they rushed over, begging for forgiveness on their
knees.
Dorothy didnât want to even waste energy to speak to the two. She walked over to a quieter side when
she received Alexâs call.
âDarling!â
