Nathan Pattingson wouldnât dare test Alex Rockefeller anymore.
Having achieved his objective, Alex withdrew his Chi energy.
In fact, he even secretly swallowed two Blood Energy Pills. âHead of the Pattingson
family, I killed your grandson with a punch and stabbed your son to death with a stick.
But you still came to see me and bowed to me. Donât you plan on avenging their
deaths?â Alex asked casually.
âI dare not,â Nathan said with his hands joined in salute.
âDo you not dare do it, or do you not want to do it?â Alex snorted coldly.
âI donât dare, and I donât want to either,â Nathan replied quickly.
Alex smiled coldly and looked at him.
Alex could tell from a single glance that Nathan was indeed an Earth expert. If they
really did start fighting, Alexâs Mystic Armor might be unable to protect him. Heâd most
likely end up getting flogged to death.
But, since Alex was faking it, he couldnât afford to be timid.
âWhy is that?â Alex asked again.
âIn the world of ancient martial arts, Grandmasters must not be insulted. Anyone who
insults a Grandmaster must die. My grandson and son overestimated themselves and
actually disrespected you, a Grandmaster, and even harmed your wife. Their deaths are
not to be regretted. Why would I avenge them?â continued Nathan.
âIs that so? But theyâre of your own flesh and blood,â Alex said.
âI have many grandsons, and I have many sons too. Thereâs no harm in losing one or
two,â Nathan said.
âYouâre sick,â Alex said after staring at Nathan for a long time.
What?
Nathan was stunned. He didnât expect Alex to insult him like this when he was already
so submissive.
Was Alex determined to kill everyone in the Pattingson family?
Nathan was still an Earth expert regardless, and he had dignity. Suddenly, his gaze
became stem.
âI said, youâre sick. In fact, youâre gravely ill,â Alex declared.
For a moment, the temperature seemed to fall.
The expressions on Keith Yowellâs face changed drastically.
He abruptly pulled Michelle
Yowell backward by a couple of steps, afraid that Nathan would attack without warning,
grabbing her and forcing Alex to surrender.
However, Alex immediately spoke up. âYour top energy core has been injured before,
hasnât it? The flow of Chi in your energy core isnât smooth, and you occasionally suffer
pain.
Although you are considered an Earth expert now, youâre not much stronger than
Peak-Mystic rank in reality! In fact, even after battling for such a long period, youâre not
even as good as Peak-Mystic rank. Am I right?â Alex said.
Nathan finally understood that Alex was actually referring to his real ailment when he
said he was sick.
Nathan was instantly shocked.
This was his secret, and even members of the
Pattingson family didnât know about it. The Pattingson family could only establish itself
in a high position in North Tokyo and acquire tons of resources with an Earth expert like
him around.
If news got out that his top energy core was injured, the Pattingson familyâs status would
be lowered bya great deal
However, surprisingly, Alex was able to uncover his secret right away.
Alex really was too powerful.
âElder, nothing can escape your eyes. Iâm deeply impressed!â Nathan exclaimed.
âWith your top energy core injured, advancing to Divine rank and becoming a Telekinetic
Grandmaster is equivalent to a foolâs dream. You will never become a Grandmasterâ¦
However, it is not completely hopeless,â Alex said.
âElder, what youâre saying isâ¦â Nathan suddenly became excited.
âI can cure it and repair your top energy core so that you may be eligible to advance as
a Grandmaster once more,â Alex said.
Buzz!
Nathan suddenly felt out of breath, his hands and feet shivering.
âElder, thisâ¦â Nathan said.
âIâm not your elder. Iâm around the same age as your grandson, Scott Pattingson. You
can call me Mr. Rockefeller,â Alex said calmly. âYouâre smart enough to know what to
choose. Iâve always liked dealing with smart people. Why donât we strike a deal?â Alex
asked.
âPlease go on, Mr. Rockefeller,â Nathan quickly said.
âI can fix your top energy core, and in return, youâll work as my slave for two years. How
does that sound?â Alex asked.
As soon as Alex said this, everyone was shocked.
Keith and Michelle had their eyes wide op en while they gawked at Nathan, wondering
what heâd choose.
