Maxwell Lawrence was completely crushed on the ground. His body instantly turned into a pulp. Even
his soul couldnât escape in time.
The turning of tables had happened too quickly. Before Alex Rockefeller could even register it, Maxwell
had already died.
âAh! You⦠You actually killed him?â Alex started to frown.
âThis is a huge mess!â Alex thought.
âHe was going to kill me. Was I supposed just to let him kill me? If I hadnât spared a few tricks up my
sleeves to protect myself, Iâd have died long ago! Thatâs why you need to toughen up quickly!
Otherwise, this Peak-Nascent Soul would be able to kill you a hundred times over,â Yuno said
nonchalantly.
âIâm going to put the corpse away first. Otherwise, the blood will seep into the floor panels. Itâll be
difficult to clean up,â Alex said.
Alex put his clothes on and was about to keep Maxwellâs corpse in a storage bag when another person
unexpectedly entered through the window.
This time, it was Nora Stewart.
At this moment, Noraâs eyes widened as she stared at the pulp of blood and flesh on the groundâ¦
However, she could still see the corpseâs body clearly. Also, she very quickly retrieved an identity card
nearby to check if this pulp of blood and flesh belonged to Maxwell.
âAlex, did you kill Maxwell?â Nora asked.
âEhh⦠This isnâtâ¦â Alex wanted to say that he wasnât the one who killed Maxwell. However, sensing
Yunoâs gaze, he realized that Yunoâs identity was top secret. He couldnât let anybody else find out.
Hence, he stopped himself from speaking just in time.
Meanwhile, Nora instinctively felt that Alex wanted to deny that the corpse belonged to Maxwell. She
held the identity card up.
âDo you know what this is? Everyone in Flying Eagles has a card like this. Itâs convenient for us to
identify who the person is after theyâre dead, even if theyâve been completely disfigured. This person is
Maxwell.â
âOh!â Alex exclaimed.
âWhat sort of reaction is that? This person is Maxwell Lawrence, the most adored son of the left-wing
lieutenant. Luna Floresâ mother, who is your lover, has put in a lot of effort to help Maxwell grow. In the
end, you killed him! Do you know how much trouble youâve gotten yourself into?â Noraâs face had
turned pale from shock.
âNora, what do you thinkI shouldâve done? He wanted to kill me. Was I supposed just to let him chop
my head off?â Alex asked.
âButâ¦â Nora said. Finally, she came back to her senses.
âOh, right. Maxwell is a Nascent Soul expert. How⦠How did you kill him? I was only late for a minute
due to some delays. How did you manage to⦠Turn him into this in such a short time?â Nora asked.
How was Alex supposed to explain it?
Alex chuckled and looked below Noraâs waist. âNora, everyone has a secret. Isnât that so? Secrets are
only meant to be known by a single individual. Itâd be awkward if secrets are shared with everyone,â
Alex said.
Upon saying this, it looked almost as if there was lightning in Alexâs eyes. No, there was a flash of light
in his eyes. In fact, there was even a holy mark on his pupils.
âNora, you lured Maxwell here, didnât you?â Alex asked.
Pit against Alexâs formidable gaze, Nora subconsciously began to appear nervous. However, she
immediately calmed herself down. âOf course not. Why would I lure him here? To kill you? What do you
think my motive would be for that? I still need you to cure me of my sickness. Iâm sick!â
âThatâs right. You really are sick, â Alex said.
âWhat do you meanâ¦?â
âThatâs because youâre lying!â Alex exclaimed.
Nora looked into Alexâs holy eyes that shone as bright as lightning. Although she wanted to continue
lying, she found it hard to do so without changing her facial expression.
In the end, she admitted to the accusation. âThatâs right. I lured him here.â
Alexâs gaze turned cold. He was already considering whether Yuno could kill this woman! However,
when Alex looked at Yuno, he discovered that she had passed out on the bed.
âD*mn it! I canât count on her during such key moments!â
âI canât defeat this evil woman on my own!â
Alex was thinking of ways to escape, but Nora started speaking. âBut I didnât want him to come and kill
you! My sister did!â
