âWhen did you learn to say such sappy things?â Dorothy, on the other end, asked with a
smile. She still found those words were somewhat sweet.
âThese words come from the bottom of my heart. Well, what happened to your mom
after I left?
Did your mom cause a scene and asked you to divorce me?â Alex said.
âOf course, she did!â Dorothy thought to herself.
âDonât mind her. Just think of her as a patient. Oh right, Iâm calling to tell you that itâs my
grandpaâs sixty-sixth birthday today.
Weâre going to have a celebration tonight. Youâre
coming with me,â Dorothy said instead.
âYour grandfatherâs birthday is today? And youâre only telling me now?â Alex asked.
âI didnât want you to go at first, but Iâve changed my mind.
Iâll get off work early at four
later. Pick me up at the office,â Dorothy said.
âOkay, okay. Iâll be on time. Goodbye, mwah! â Alex said.
After hanging up the phone, Alex looked up and found that everyone was in daze.
That was because the ambience had changed so suddenly that none of them could get
used to it.
Not too long ago, the center was filled with battle cries and they were still engaged in a
heated fight for their lives.
Suddenly, it turned into some trifles and lovey-dovey chatters
between a kept man and a jealous wife.
***
Half an hour later, Robert Downie, accompanied by two other people, hurried over.
One
of the two was an old man with a youthful face, while the other was a young man who
wore a green shirt and long pants.
When Robert saw that the door to his martial arts center was destroyed, he charged in
angrily.
After entering the center, he was livid as he saw Jake and one of his disciples
were severely injured.
Enraged, Robert looked at Azure and shouted, âAzure Storm, youâve gone too far!
Iâve
never done anything to Thousand Miles Conglomerate. Why did you do such cruel
things to my people?â
âDid you really do nothing? Why donât you ask what has your disciple done out there?
Iâve been very merciful for not killing him,â Azure said indifferently.
Robert looked at Annalise.
She then explained what had happened to Jake in a soft
voice and pointed at Alex.
Alexâs gaze landed on the other old man with a youthful look who just walked in instead.
Although the old man just stood there poker-faced without saying anything, Alex could
still sense that the man was even more powerful than Robert.
However⦠Why should Alex be afraid of him?
While Robert was still analyzing whether Jake or Azure was at fault, Alex suddenly
started speaking, âYou are Robert Downie, the master of Budweiser Martial Arts Center,
right?â
Robert snorted coldly and didnât bother to reply to Alex.
âIâm asking you again. I hope you will answer me honestly. Did you order someone to kill
Anthony Patingson?â Alex continued asking.
âWho is Anthony Pattingson?â Robert was stunned for a moment.
Alex stared right into Robertâs eyes and even activated his Third Eye, to check the
fluctuation of energy movement in Robertâs body.
Alex could tell that Robert did not seem to be feigning the surprise, so he probably did
not know about Anthony at all.
âWell, Iâm sure you know Dew Sunder, donât you?â Alex asked.
âDew Sunder? Donât you mention that b*stard. I donât know someone like him,â Robert
shouted angrily all of a sudden.
His eyes turned fierce as well, they were even filled with
murderous intents, as if he bore a great enmity against Dew.
However, Dew was the one who killed Anthony Pattingson in prison.
According to information provided by Thousand Miles Conglomerate, Dew was Robertâs
most prized disciple. Meanwhile, the people from Budweiser Martial Arts Center were
ashen-faced when they heard Dewâs name, especially Annalise, who looked worriedly
at Robert.
After that, she turned to Alex with a curious gaze.
At first, she thought Alex was here because of Jake. However, based on the current
situation, it seemed like that wasnât the case.
