Alex was appalled.
âThatâs way too expensive, isnât that?â
âUgh⦠If Iâd known, I wouldnât have given it to Khloe.â
Staring at the tower, Alex felt uninterested. Blood energy pills were among the lowest-ranked pills. They
didnât even have enough carats. However, ordinary people could consume blood energy pills without
having trained in cultivation. Hence, that pill became a necessity for anyone who wanted to begin
cultivating.

At the time, Shawn and Khloe had arrived at Alexâs place.
Rushing into the manor, both wore black suits and masked themselves. To their demise, they couldnât
find Alex. There wasnât even anyone in there.
âCould they have received news and ran away?â Shawn was enraged. He swore to obtain the treasure
Alex held.
If he ran away, it meant theyâd lose an extremely rare opportunity.
âThatâs impossible! Where could he have run to?â Khloe asked.
Although she really didnât want such a thing, she was still a businesswoman. Moreover, her face was
scarred, hence she had a twisted mind. Business was the center of her life. Everything else wasnât
particularly important Besides that, Alex was just a nobody to her. She couldnât care less about him.
âMoney is the root of all evil, so goes the saying,â she thought. âThis treasure would only bring disaster
to him if he kept it. So, itâs best you hand it to us, the Yggdrasillâs, instead. Weâll be helping him remove
any misfortune too.â
âTheir possessions are still here!â
âThatâs Doryâs stuff. Since itâs left here, theyâd definitely be coming back for it,â Khloe said. âLetâs wait
here, grandpa. Theyâll be back soon.â

Alex held onto his daughter as they went sightseeing around the business district with Dory. Since it
was getting late, Bubbles had been yawning several times.
Seeing this, Alex suggested that theyâd head back and do sightseeing some other time.
Suddenly, he felt a strange feeling in his heart, as if it was a calling from his bloodline.
Ring!!!
His heart jumped slightly.
âWhat was that?â
âThis feels so familiar!â
âItâs⦠Itâs Dad!â
He actually felt his fatherâs Chi in this place. The discovery had completely overwhelmed him. He may
have been going from place to place to achieve different goals, but his main goal was still to find his
missing father. He really didnât expect to be able to feel him here before he even entered the
teleportation circle.
He turned and scanned his surroundings, only to realize that the sensation was coming from an
accessory store.
âCould Dad be in there?â
âDory, quick! Push me into that store!â Alex said, panicked, his voice quivering.
Dory nodded and immediately brought him inside. However, she wasnât paying much attention and
accidentally bumped the wheelchair into a woman.
âHuh, isnât that one of the Yggdrasillsâ maids? Werenât you supposed to serve your little masked lady?
Why are you pushing this man? Aww, itâs a cripple with no legs! And great, he has a child too⦠Good
for you. Youâre someoneâs stepmom now. You sure have a unique taste.â
