âPeople down there, donât move!â
âHey, Iâm talking about you guys. Donât move, or weâre going to start shooting!â
When the Japanese government officials on the helicopter saw a few of them under the spotlight, they
started shouting through loudspeakers. These people had abysmal judgment. There were sword marks
on the grounds of Higurashi Shrine measuring a few hundred meters long and seven to eight meters
wide. More than half of the shrine had also collapsed. In fact, there was even a large hole in the roof.
Anyone could clearly see that something abnormal had happened here.
Besides, there were such dense blood clouds earlier. Didnât they hear the roaring thunder?
âDonât look at the helicopter. They must be filming with cameras. Itâll be troublesome if they capture our
faces. Letâs get away from here!â warned Martiny Mayer on the ground.
Uncle Drake had overexerted himself. Even if he drank Martinyâs blood, he needed some time to
absorb and digest it. Presently, he was moving a little slow. Thus, Alex Rockefeller went over to carry
Uncle Drake on his back.
In the endâ¦
Brrt-brrt-brrt-brrt-brrtâ¦
Bullets rained down on them. These Japanese fellows actually had the audacity to open fire.
Moreover, other helicopters were approaching from afar.
âHmph!â Fairy Doctor directly tossed her Demon Tower Prison outward. It expanded against the wind.
In the end, it looked almost like a mountain had crashed against the helicopter.
Boom!
Aloud explosion could be heard. The helicopter instantly blew into pieces.
The helicopters coming from behind were terrified by this. Suddenly, they didnât dare to get closer.
âLetâs go!â
***
Back in Rockefeller Manor in California.
As it was New Yearâs Eve, it was unusually exciting. There were old folks, children, and more so
women. Although a few pots of dumplings were made, not a lot had been eaten.
Due to Alexâs departure, it felt like something was missing at home. Something that brought everyone
together was missing.
A few young women, including Waltz Fleur, Maya Howards, and the Assex sisters, were slowly
scrolling their phones, looking extremely bored. They checked out the New Yearâs Gala and browsed
through social media, but they couldnât stay focused. Instead, they were wondering where Alex had
gone to.
Ever since he received a call from Martiny and left with Fairy Doctor, they hadnât heard a thing from
him. They couldnât even contact his phone.
Right then, Beatrice Assex shouted in surprise. âAhh! Something evil has happened in Japan!â
âWhatâs evil? Youâre being dramatic.â Dorothy Assex was lying halfway on the couch. She extended her
lean legs and kicked her little sister on the foot.
âThere are large blood clouds, and in the clouds⦠Thereâs a person!â Beatrice exclaimed.
She was looking at a certain social media platform. There were all sorts of messages there, but she
saw a video uploaded by a Japanese netizen in the end. So Beatrice clicked on it.
She could even hear the voice coming from the blood clouds.
âHahaha! Alex Rockefeller, I didnât expect to bump into you here!â
âDonât you think itâs the twisted fate between the two of us?â
âI didnât go looking for you. You showed up on your own. Isnât it great to be alive?â
That was what Carol Rockefeller said when she showed up and floated below the blood clouds.
Beatrice instantly jumped onto her feet. âAh! Itâs brother-in-law! This⦠This womanâs voice sounds so
familiar.â
âItâs Carol Rockefeller!â Dorothy immediately recognized it. âOh no, something terrible has happened in
Japan,â she said.
âLetâs go to Japan!â Waltz sprung up and chirped.
Dorothy focused her gaze. âLadies, come with me!â she yelled.
âWait, wait!â Beatrice started shouting.
âIt looks like thereâs something else. The blood clouds have disappeared. Higurashi Shrine has been
razed to the ground. A Japanese government helicopter exploded for no apparent reason⦠Brother-in-
law has gone missing!â
âDozens of skeletons remain on Mount Higurashi.â
