Wham!
The masked woman slapped the man. At once, his cloth mask was knocked off. If Alex Rockefeller was
here, he would have recognized this man who was none other than Frank Accardoâs
son, Heath Accardo! âBastard, your head is filled with garbage!â The masked woman was an envoy
from Gokudo Soshiki. Her real name was Maiko Chiba.
On the surface, it
looked like Valtameri Co. of California was controlled by Frank, but in fact, Frank was also working for
Gokudo Soshiki. When Gokudo Soshiki set up Valtameri Co. of California, it also placed a lot of its own
people inside the organizationâ¦
When Alex killed Ono Yohei from Japan so cruelly, got rid of the best fighters in the organization and
controlled Frank to work for him through a parasitic disease, Valtameri Co. of California was taken over,
and
most of its manufacturing facilities had been absorbed by Thousand Miles Conglomerate. How could
Gokudo Soshiki not receive such news?
Maiko was the expert Gokudo Soshiki sent to handle the matter, and the most important thing to
Gokudo
Soshiki was the Holy Book. At this juncture, the slightest flaw was not permissible.
If Heath played with Claire Assex and resulted in them not being able to get the Holy Book, he would
have to
die ten thousand times over.
Soon, another Japanese man dressed like a ninja silently walked in. âMs. Chiba, Alex Rockefeller is
here!â This man spoke in Japanese. Although Claire and Beatrice Assex couldnât understand him,
Dorothy did. Thatâs because she took a course
on Japanese when she was in university, and she learned it very well. When Dorothy heard that Alex
was here, she felt both happy and worried.
However, the things Maiko said next made Dorothy doubt if her Japanese was getting rusty. âBe
careful. Make sure these hostages are kept under control. That fellow must not be simple if he
managed to kill Ono
Yohei.â Dorothy heard Maiko say in Japanese. What?
Dorothyâs eyes widened in disbelief. Was Maiko talking about Alex?
In the next moment, the three women from the Assex family were dragged outside. Only then did they
realize
they were actually located on an old street that was going to be demolished. Most of the occupants in
this area
had already moved away, and only run-down houses were left behind. Tap! Tap!
Alex walked over one step at a time. In fact, he had arrived long ago. He was circling the alley, finding a
way
to rescue the ladies secretly
However, he realized it would have been very difficult. Not only were the three women from the Assex
family
located very deep inside, Alexâs opponents also far outnumbered him.
The masked woman who led them gave
off a dangerous aura. Through his Chi observational skill, he detected Chi waves from her body.
Indeed, she was also someone who practiced martial arts. Alex saw the wounds on Claireâs face. Her
face and clothes were covered in blood. At this moment, Alexâs
killing intent gushed out of his body.
No matter what, Claire was still his mother-in-law, and she was pretty too. Even if she had yelled at him
in the worst manner a while ago, Alex still wanted these culprits dead! âIâm here!â Alex stopped twenty
meters away. Since Heath had already covered his face with a cloth mask again, Alex didnât recognize
him.
âYou shouldnât have come. Hurry up and leave. These arenât nice people,â Dorothy shouted with red
eyes. Although she didnât know what was going on in the beginning, she understood now after seeing
the whole
setup.
These people shouldnât be messed with. They were assassins. âAre you mad? If you ask him to leave,
what will happen to us? Weâre dragged into this mess because of that
idiot!â Claire immediately shouted. Alex nodded at Dorothy. âDonât worry. Iâll rescue all of you from this
place,â he said. âWhereâs the thing?â
Maiko got straight to the point.
âLet them go first, and I will give it to you. There are so many of you. Surely, youâre not afraid I might
escape?â Alex asked. âEnvoy, you mustnât do so. Heâs very strong,â Heath quickly said.
