Queenie, especially, was covering her mouth with both hands. She felt as if she was going to puke at
any
second. âWhat⦠What is this? What did you feed me?â Philip screamed. Facing an unknown horror, he
was
petrified due to the force of human nature. Alex took a glance at him and replied, âA parasitic worm
from Canyonland.â
âWhat?!â
Lord Baleâs face went pale, his entire body started trembling. He had heard of Canyonlandâs parasitic
worms, he even managed to witness one of his friends struggling in
immense pain due to the torture of this godforsaken worm, suffering a fate worse than death!
Alex smiled gently when he saw his expression.
âWhat are you afraid of? As long as you listen to me and
donât ever come to bother me, this worm wonât affect you one bit. Just act like youâre helping me take
care
of it in your stomach for a few days.â
Lord Bale fell silent.
After that, he received the three billion dollars that Phillip had transferred over. Alex, Brittany and Maya
left Phoenix Mount Diner nonchalantly. As for the corpses, they believed that Lord Bale would be able
to deal with them just fine.
***
Smack!
After leaving Phoenix Mount Diner, Brittanyâs slender hands slapped Alex on the back of his head,
scolding
him, âYou brat, when did you learn to get those parasitic worms from Canyonland?
Donât ever keep those
disgusting things from now on.â Maya nodded as well. Recalling the worm and how it would be
wriggling in oneâs stomach, she couldnât help but tremble from disgust. Alex smiled. âMom, what about
it? It can be a good thing to control others at times. Just think about how
large Lord Baleâs connections are?
We might be able to avoid confrontation now, but it would be hard to
avoid an ambush. We canât read his mind, so who knows what heâll try to do behind our backs? With
this
parasitic worm, he would definitely listen to us.â
âWell, I didnât rear it either. I just happened to be acquainted with an old lady from Canyonland a while
ago. I asked one of these from her.â
The old lady he mentioned was none other than Granny Blackwood. Brittany was a sensible mother.
She pondered for a while and said, âDonât ever use it unless itâs the last
resort! Also, stop killing people out of spite. I know youâre a member of Divine Constabulary now, but
you
really have to limit yourself.
Iâm worried that you might go astray if you kill too many people. Got that?â Alex nodded in agreement.
Just moments after their departure, a black Bentley arrived at Phoenix Mount Diner, parking the car at
the
entrance slowly.
There was a young man and a woman inside the car. The man was dashing whereas the woman
seemed stern
and elegant.
The woman said, âTristan, are you really going to get the Sky Tower? I really donât think you should
waste
your time and energy on this.â
The man was the genius from the Coleman family of Missouri who had become in-laws with the
Stoermer
family of Michigan and engaged with Zendaya, Tristan Coleman. Even though he was merely twenty-
nine years old, he was already an Earth expert.
He was the youngest
Earth expert in America known to the public. The woman was his subordinate, Suzaku. Of course, that
was just her code name at the time. Tristan shook his head. âYouâre wrong, Suzaku. This would be a
betrothal gift to the Stoermers. I just need
to get the ownership document and hand it to them.
I donât care about how itâs built! When the time comes,
the top floor of Sky Tower will become the wedding room for me and Zendaya.â
Suzaku seemed slightly jealous as she said, âTristan, Zendaya is just an average woman. You can get
any
celebrity out there, so why choose her?
There are so many other beautiful and skilled women in the Stoermer
family. Plus, they definitely suit you way more than Zendaya.â
Tristan smiled. âIâve been to her concerts, and Iâm sure that sheâs the one that I want.â
âBut she⦠Sheâs been in a scandal.â
âI was about to have you investigate the truth of this scandal actually. My wife is not allowed to be
involved
in a scandal with someone else. Investigate that man in the scandal, I want all information about him by
tomorrow.â
After pausing for a few seconds, he continued, âAlright, letâs go in! â
The two then walked into Phoenix Mount Diner, yet they saw a mess inside the restaurant. Tristan
frowned. âWhat happened here?â
