Ten minutes later, Aaron Coleman returned with an old man and an old woman. Alex Rockefeller
glanced at them. The good fellow brought over two martial artists, with one at
Intermediate-Mystic rank and the other at Advanced-Mystic rank. Since Waltz Fleur couldnât quite tell,
she whispered softly to Alex. âBrother, I thought he would bring back a
few Earth experts.
Will these two be of any help?â Alex shrugged. âThe more people we have, the more help we get. Letâs
not ask for too much.â Waltz nodded and said nothing more. As for Anna Coleman, for some unknown
reason, she did not explain Alexâs situation to Aaron. âMs. Fleur, let me introduce these people to you.
This is Josiah Whaley, who has Intermediate-Mystic rank
cultivation.
And this is Granny Silvan, who is even more remarkable, an Advanced-Mystic rank martial artist. They
are both worshipped members of our Coleman family. With their help, we will definitely be able to save
your godfather,â Aaron said with confidence and in a self congratulatory manner. He made it sound as if
being able to invite these two along was a great accomplishment.
âThank you both for your help,â Waltz nodded and said. Josiah Whaley stroked his white beard and
laughed. âNo need to be too polite. You are Aaronâs sweetheart. It
is only right that we help you. If you want to offer thanks, just thank Aaron!â
Waltz twitched her mouth.
âElder, you must have misunderstood. I am not Mr. Colemanâs sweetheart.â
Josiah chuckled. âNo matter. You might not be his sweetheart now, but you will be in the future.â Waltz
and Alex were both speechless. Aaron looked at Alex. âMr. Rockefeller, you can stay here. Or else, you
can go to my familyâs place to rest
and relaxâ¦â
Alex shook his head. âNo, the kidnapper demanded me to go, or they will kill him.â Aaron was stunned.
âThey demanded you to be there specifically. Why? Are you someone important? Or do
you possess evidence related to them?â Alex shook his head and didnât say anything. Josiah could tell
that Alex might be Aaronâs rival in romance.
He immediately snorted coldly. âYoung boy, I
hope you are not telling a lie. This is not childâs play. When the danger truly arises, we wonât have the
capacity to rescue you.â
âDonât worry.
I donât need you to save me just yet,â Alex said calmly. Alexâs retort only further upset Josiah. âYou
arenât ashamed of being boastful at all. In this world, there are a
lot of people like you who think too highly of themselves. But they somehow all end up dead anyway. I
hope
you are not that kind of person.â
âAnna, letâs go!â Alex closed his eyes and said to Anna. Getting ignored filled Josiahâs chest with anger.
âYou disrespectful brat. Iâll find an opportunity to teach you a lesson later. Iâll show you what it means to
be
self-aware.â Josiah secretly thought to himself. Granny Silvan, on the other hand, hadnât said a word
since the beginning. She looked at Waltzâs body with her
long, narrow
pupils. One couldnât tell what she was thinking. ***
The helicopter took flight. Throughout the journey, Aaron tried to strike up a conversation with Waltz.
âMs. Fleur, you must be here to
participate in the Southern California Business Associationâs martial arts competition, right? I heard a
remarkable character showed up at the competition this time. Everyone calls him Master Rockefeller.
Did you
see him there?â
Waltz and Alex quietly glanced at each other. Waltz nodded. âI saw him.â
âDo you know who he is? Cultivation gurus are a rare sight. This time, one actually showed up at the
Southern California Business Associationâs martial arts competition. It is a pity that I didnât get to see
his
mystical and unpredictable moves.
I would be the luckiest man alive if I got to see him once in this lifetime,â Aaron immediately said. âThe
person who can make you feel like the luckiest man alive is right in front of you, but you are blind and
canât see him!â Waltz thought to herself. However, she said something else. âI donât know who he is. I
didnât get to see his face clearly.â
Josiah grunted again.
âAaron, most of the cultivation gurus around are just tricksters who use gimmicks to fool
other people. How could there be so many experts? Besides, I heard that the person wasnât very old. I
bet heâs
just a scam whoâs looking for fanre and reputation by intimidating others with his fraudulent means.â
Waltz couldnât stand it anymore. âOld man, can you not be so egotistical?
Just because you havenât seen one, doesnât mean there isnât one. Arenât you afraid that word will get
back to that person, and he will come after
you for the things you said behind his back? When the time comes, he might break you apart like
charcoal
with a single move.â
