The figureâs appearance was too sudden. Everyone did not anticipate it, so they could not react to it at
once. Alex even bore the brunt. Even more bizarre was that the figure just passed through Alexâs body
after coming out of the wall.
He was not mistaken about it. This was not a real person but a phantom.
The next second, a hollow, ethereal voice rang in the crowd. âWho let you into my house to disrupt my
peace?â
It was an old manâs voice.
As Alex was facing the back of the old manâs phantom, he could not see his front clearly and was only
surprised. Then, however, a bolt out of the blue seemed to have struck the governor of Raze City
standing opposite the phantom after clearly looking at the phantomâs facial appearance. Soon, he could
not help but fall to his knees.
Thud!
The kneeling sound was earsplitting.
Then, he prostrated himself. âQuinn⦠Senior Quinn, we didnât know this is your residence. Pleaseâ¦
Please forgive us. W-we will leave right now. Weâll leave immediately.â
Alex did not know Zephyr East.
Naturally, Alex did not feel much about him kneeling before a phantom all of a sudden. But soon, he
saw the grand elder of Yorkshire Palace, Melanie Zelda, fall to her knees respectfully as well. âSenior
Quinn, Melanie Zelda, the grand elder of Yorkshire Palace, pays respect to Senior.â
âUhmâ¦â
If it was said that Zephyr was just a puppet that the Sun Shrine had introduced, then Melanieâs kneeling
meant something else. It indicated that the phantom of the old man before their eyes represented a
supremely powerful identity.
However, the others did not know the old man except Zephyr and Melanie.
âThis⦠Who is this guy?â
âI donât know either, I never have the impression of this guy. He should be someone extraordinary to
make Governor East kneel, right?â
Alex frowned as he looked at the phantom. However, he was not too worried.
He had seen the omnipotent big shots like the True Martial Sovereign and the Undead Queen, so why
would he be afraid of the phantom of an old man holed up in a dilapidated house of Raze City?
At this moment, Hermione spoke telepathically with Alex secretly. âSir, this old man is the owner of the
house. Of course, weâve been here long ago, but why didnât he appear before this?â
âBefore⦠Perhaps I didnât crash into this wall previously, so I didnât disrupt his retreat!â Alex answered.
He looked at the phantom as now he was also curious about the old manâs powerful origin for making
the grand elder of Yorkshire Palace kneel. Otherwise, he would have taken the people and fled via
Instant Teleportation.
The old man said faintly, âI didnât expect that someone would remember my last name. I almost forgot
about it!â
At this moment, Melanie pulled Winona at the side by her arms hard and urged in a low voice. âWinona,
kneel and prostrate yourself before Senior Quinn.â
Winona was reluctant. âWhich Senior Quinn is he? I donât even know him. Besides, this isnât a person.
Itâs just a phantom. Third Great-aunt, youâre the grand elder of Yorkshire Palace anyway. Is he worthy
of you to kneel before him?â
Upon hearing it, Melanie paled and immediately scolded, âShut up!â
Meanwhile, the old manâs phantom said slowly, âTime is infinite, and life is limited. Indeed, an old man
like me should have died long ago.â
However, he changed the topic suddenly. âBut, not just anyone could barge into my residence even if
Iâm a dying man.â
The old manâs phantom suddenly stretched his hand and grabbed Winonaâs neck.
It was just a phantom!
