âHey, where are you going?â
âTo reflect on my mistake!â ***
Alex spent the entire night in the basement. Alex, who was full of energy but had nowhere to vent, went
straight to concoct both the Energy Recovery Pill
and the pills to alleviate Nathan Pattingsonâs damaged energy core.
Then, he also managed to concoct a batch
of Blood Energy Pills. It was six thirty in the morning. Deep in her sleep, Waltz was slapped by Alex on
her thigh. âWake up, sleepyhead!â Waltz was still in a drowsy state. âIt hurts! Wait, what time is it?â Alex
replied, âThe Energy Recovery Pill is ready. It can restore your martial arts, do you want it?
Otherwise, Iâll give it to Michelle Yowell.â Waltz leaped out of the bed immediately upon hearing Alexâs
question. âYes, yes. I want it, quick, give it to
me.â She was rather loud.
Nathan Pattingson, who slept a floor beneath, heard everything. He had a habit of waking up early and
had been meditating since a while ago.
After hearing their conversation, he gently shook his head. He secretly lamented, âItâs really good to be
young! I did not expect Mr. Rockefeller
to be a playboy as well!â He started reminiscing about his past. He used to have plenty of ladies around
him during his prime. The
women even bore his many children, that was how the Pattingson family grew into such a prosperous
family
that was blessed with many offsprings.
That was also why even after both his son and grandson were killed by
Alex, he could still be very respectful toward the young man and dared not disobey him even the
slightest. âThis is for you!â Alex threw a bottle, which was filled with a single kumquat-sized pill. It was
the Energy Recovery Pill. âSwallow it now and I will cast a protection art on you to help you absorb its
recuperating power and restore
your energy coreâ¦
The cultivation techniques that you practiced years ago left a flaw in your energy core. Itâs
not developed completely and there are impurities present, that is why your cultivated energy core is in
poor
quality. It could be considered as a mediocre energy core at best.â Waltz pouted. âCan you stop being
so mean?â Alex replied, âI was just telling the truth.â
âWell, you are trying to strike my confidence by saying that I have poor potential as a fighter.â She
flipped
around and placed her legs on Alexâs lap. âI just want to tell you that since you are going to rise again
after falling, Iâll lend you a hand by striving for
the opportunity to develop an exceptional energy core. With this, you should be within reaching
distance of
Maya soon.â
âMaya? Sheâs way behind me!â
âThat was a long time ago. She started late but she has great potential. Mark my words, she will break
through
the Mystic rank soon.â Waltz extended her arms and wrapped them around his neck. She let out a
breath as she said, âYou need to
help me develop a top quality energy core, Senior. I canât be compared like this anymore, how else can
I hold
my head high?
If we were to succeed, I shall reward youâ¦â
âWhat is it?â Waltz whispered something in his ears. Immediately, Alex widened his eyes. What she
said was actually about the thing that he did with Dorothy in
the office yesterday. Dorothy pulled out halfway through, he wondered if Waltz would do the same?
âPooh! What am I thinking?!
Dorothy is my wife, but she isnât! This little witch, she is just trying to seduce
me again.â âTake the pill and focus. Stop fantasizing!â
In the next moment, Waltz swallowed the Energy Recovery Pill. Under Alexâs immediate support using
his
Chi of lightning attribute, faint yet ever present electric power began flowing through Waltzâs body and
helped
her to develop a new energy core!
The Chi of lightning attribute could remove impurities in an energy core and completely develop it
without
flaws. Alex was very experienced in this since both Brittany and Mayaâs energy cores were developed
using similar
methods.
An hour later, Waltzâs energy core, after breaking and rebuilding, was successfully restored.
Furthermore, it
was two grades more powerful than before, it was a top quality energy core. Alex received a call from
Dorothy at nine in the morning.
They were supposed to go to Assex Manor today to attend Madame Joanneâs wake. Before departure,
he gave Nathan the pills that could suppress his injuries and had him stay behind to protect
Waltz. Even though her energy core was restored, she still needed to undergo a process in order to
return fully
to her former powers. Alex, Dorothy, and her family arrived at Assex Manor at ten oâclock.
Unexpectedly, they were stopped at the
entrance. Emma Assex looked at them coldly. âWhy did you come here? You were banished by
Grandma a long time
ago, now youâre just abandoned children of the Assexes! Grandma was brought to her death by you
bearers of
ill luck, you people are murderers!
How dare you show your faces here for her wake? You do not deserve to
be here! Begone!â
Immediately, she threw a basin of water into their faces. Alex quickly pulled Dorothy to dodge the water
while Beatrice stood quite a distance away, so they were safe. Unfortunately for Claire, she was
drenched from head to toe by a basin of water of an unknown origin.
