âAhh!â
âWhat is this?!â
Anna and Captain Gillett had arrived together because Captain Gillett had been the one in charge of
the case. Now that the case had been solved, he would naturally come along.
When he saw the ghost child Carol Rockefeller had borne on the ground, he yelled out in fright and
almost fell to the ground on his butt. The ghost child was too scary, and not just because of his facial
appearance. His body had been cut in half by Alex, and although the ghost child had reconnected the
rotten meat that was his body, there was still a big hole.
It didnât look human at all.
By this time, Dorothy had already left.
âThis is what youâve been looking for,â Alex said. âDonât think that heâs human just because he looks
like one. Itâs⦠A monster!â
Anna covered her mouth. âThis thing is hideous. It doesnât fit the image of a demon in my mind at all.
Master, do you want to report this matter? For such a hideous demon like this to exist in this country,
itâs outrageous!â
âYou can report it,â Alex said.
The higher-ups of the country, especially the one standing at the highest of them all, definitely knew of
the existence of demons well. They should be more aware of it than anyone else, so it shouldnât matter
if this matter was reported.
After leaving the matter in Annaâs hands, Alex left the mountain village. He rushed to Californiaâs
Premier Hospital.
Charlesâs blood essence was in his hands.
âUncle!â
When Alex walked in, he was met with the daughter of Charles and Hailey, Zoey Carter.
Hailey was also nearby.
âBrother Alex, how did it go? Do you have any news?â Charles sat up with a nervous smile on his face.
In just a day, evidence of his aging had already shown on his face. After his blood essence was stolen,
he hadnât looked so bad on the first day. But now, on just the second day, his appearance had already
changed so much.
At this moment, Charlesâ face was not only covered in wrinkles, his hair had also begun to tum gray. It
had also shed a lot.
This was because his body lacked nutrients, and the blood essence taken from him had been too
much.
Wisteria Haines would definitely not have used the method of bedding humans to extract their blood
essence but instead, suck it out through their mouth. This method was more harmful than the former,
and not to mention that she was a half-demon⦠She had taken too much.
Zoey had been shocked to see her father in such a state. He looked even older than her grandfather!
Alex hugged Zoey and glanced at Hailey. He spoke to Hailey telepathically, âSister Hailey, do you want
to take Zoey and leave for a bit? Iâll handle things with Brother Charles here.â
Hailey nodded and pulled Zoey, leaving the room.
âBrother Charles, I found the person and also got something back. But, there is something about this
situation that you need to know. Your youth and blood essence were forcefully sucked away, and it
wasnât done carefully. Iâll help you return some of the blood essences youâve lost, but as for your
youth⦠It may not be able to restore much.â
âTo what extent will I be able to recover?â Charles asked.
âRecovering your health shouldnât be a problem,â Alex said. âBut in terms of appearance, you have to
be prepared mentally! Iâll find a way to make you a Rejuvenation Pill after this matter has been settled,
but at most, it would return you to how your father looked.â
âMy fatherâ¦â When Charles heard this, regret coursed through him.
He hit his head with his hands, crying bitterly, âI shouldnât have done this! Never! I am reaping what I
sowed, d*mn it! If I knew that this would happen, I wouldnât have agreed to go to that cocktail party.
That old goat! Itâs because of him I turned out like this!â
How was he supposed to go out and meet people after he looked as old as his father?!
Alex sighed. This was the limit of what he could do. Others who had encountered something like
Charles hadnât been so lucky.
The older man in their group had already died. The others were all in the hospital, and although Alex
had gotten all the blood essence back from the fox half-demon, it wasnât like he planned to rush back to
return it to them. It wasnât that Alex wanted to just stand at the side and not save them, but to return
blood essence that had been drawn out into their body was not an easy task.
Alex would have to use up a lot of energy to do it.
He wasnât in the mood to waste too much energy on those guys who fooled around with women. Alex
was going to do it for Charles because of their friendship⦠And this friendship of theirs was because of
Hailey. If it was just based on Charles alone, it wouldnât have been enough.
