The d*rned child ignored him.
Indeed, this was a child who didnât think ahead and didnât have any emotions!
âRun, hurry up and run!â
Right then, people from the American Defense Bureau felt as if they were being stared at by an ancient
evil spirit when the scrawny old man glared at them. They were so scared that they felt goosebumps all
over their bodies. Their buttocks felt chilly. Someone started shouting, and the entire group fled
frantically.
âAre you running after yelling at me?
âDo you think Iâd let that happen so easily?â The scrawny old man yelled. The soundwaves exploded,
and circles of golden light emitted from his mouth. The golden blade rays connected and instantly
swept past several tens of Defense Bureauâs members.
Boom, boom, boomâ¦
A few explosions could be heard.
Those people were all blown into a bloody mist.
âHumph! Useless! You practically canât even take a single hit!â The scrawny old man murmured. He
then retrieved the imposing aura around his body, and his back became hunched again. Now, he
looked as if he would stop breathing at any moment. He turned to look at Alex Rockefeller with his odd
gaze once more and chuckled eerily. âKiddo, do you see how powerful I am? If you donât want to end
up like them, be a good boy and hand over that ancient bridge.â
Being stared at by the old manâs piercing gaze gave Alex a headache and made his body tense.
The old man was emitting a strong demonic aura. A kind of strange symbol even appeared in between
his brows. It looked like an ancient form of text that resembled a dragon or a phoenix, but it also looked
like a crossover between a tortoise and a snake.
The strong, imposing aura pressed down on Alexâs head.
It almost felt like a mountain was on top of him, it was pushing him into a river.
If it werenât for Alexâs strong body and the support of the Chaos Tree inside, he wouldâve been forced to
kneel long ago. Cold sweats appeared on his forehead.
Right then, the scrawny old man suddenly sensed something and looked in the eastern direction. His
golden pupils contracted. âKiddo, I remember you. Iâll come back for you,â he said.
After that, his body exploded, and he disappeared before Alexâs eyes.
Boom!
The ground beneath Alexâs legs suddenly blew apart. This was because the old manâs pressure was
too great.
Alexâs feet were pressed down into the ground to his kneecaps. Now, Alex finally focused the energy
within his body to cause an explosion. Only then did the ground eventually crack open.
âWho⦠Who is this person?
âWhy did he suddenly leave?â
Alex wiped his sweat away. His heart was still pounding. After that, he could hear someoneâs voice.
âRockefeller brat!â
A figure quickly rushed over and stood still in front of Alex.
Alex didnât expect it to be Phoebe Larsen⦠Oh, he should call her Yuno.
Phoebe would never address Alex by his last name like that
âElder Yuno!â Alex called out.
A ridiculous thought suddenly occurred to Alex.
Was that terrifying old freak afraid of Elder Yuno? After all, this womanâs background was relatively
frightening too. Her single finger was already very powerful. If her actual body were here, sheâd
undoubtedly have incredible powers.
âWhat happened here? Was your house destroyed?â Yuno looked at the ruins in surprise.
âItâs a long story. Coincidentally, I have a favor to ask of you, Elder Yuno. I want to go to a dungeon. I
wonder, will you be free to come with me?â Alex asked.
That old man was too terrifying. If he was terrified of Yuno, then keeping Yuno around was the best
thing for Alex.
âSure!â Yunoâs eyes lit up when she heard this.
It wasnât a good idea to stay here for too long.
After that, Alex immediately left California with Yuno. They headed to Imperial Capital at top speed.
Alexâs mother, Brittany Rockefeller, was still there. Now that Alex was being pursued by Flying Eagles
and the Defense Bureau in America, he felt unsafe leaving her in the Imperial Capital.
As soon as the two of them left, a few members of the Defense Bureau and Flying Eagles gathered
around with pale faces.
They saw from afar how the old freak killed a few people with a flick of his finger. That kind of power
was terrifying. They still couldnât calm down right now.
âLetâs go!â
âReport to our superiors immediately!â
