âRun!â
The elder no longer had any other hesitation. He quickly moved his body and ran as fast as lightning
toward the exit.
He was the grand elder of the Coleman family. He was the only Grandmaster in the family and had a
great responsibility as the main support of the family. Embarrassing himself would be far better than
losing his life. As long as he was still alive, the Colemans of Missouri could still be prosperous for
another twenty years.
âHe ran away!â
âThe Grandmaster of the Colemans actually ran away out of fear!â
The rest of the eight great families looked at each other. They were all shocked but they thought that it
was reasonable. What else could he do if he didnât run away? Seeking for his own death?
At this moment, Maiko swept a glance at the crowd below the stage and said, âEveryone, please keep
the incident today strictly confidential. I shall not forgive and kill him if anyone leaks a single word! This
wedding is just a farce. Everyone should be dismissed now!â
After a pause, she then nodded her head at Alex. âMy disciple, Master still has other matters to attend
to. I shall leave now. Feel free to call out to me whenever youâre in trouble!â
With that, she casually waved her hand.
Another hundreds and thousands of lightning bolts roared again in the surrounding, causing some
cowardly guests grovelled and shivered on the ground. Under such circumstances, Maiko turned into a
ray of lightning and vanished into the sky.
Alex held his fists together and shouted, âGood day, Master!â
He was secretly relieved deep inside his heart. He had worked hard and engaged in a battle of wits and
valor just to create this big show. It was damn exhausting.
That was right. Everything was an illusion. Everything was a lie.
Of course, there were some truths in the lies and there were lies in the truths. Nobody could
differentiate the truths and the lies clearly, especially the overwhelming lightning storm and the
billowing grey clouds. They were all illusions, just to hide the fact that Maiko was actually a ghost⦠As
for the plot of the disciple and master at the end, it was just a scare tactic to make others believe that
he was not alone and he also had a patron.
If the grand elder of the Colemans ever had a little doubt about it or made his move to test its
authenticity, Alexâs trick would be exposed and the show would not go on.
In the end, he could only fight for his life but he might die and vanish in such an ending.
Then , Alex saw the guests below the stage start leaving. After letting out a sigh of relief, he held Daya
and comforted her with a soft voice.
âThe ancestor of the Stoermers is really dead?â Anna asked Alex softly.
When this question came out, many people displayed a questioning expression.
âBut, heâs a Grandmaster!â
Alex nodded. âHeâs dead. People like him are better off to be dead than alive. Since my master has
come to meddle, how could she let him give a reason to be alive?â
He said it seriously, as if Maiko were truly his master.
However, Carlos was truly dead. The Stake of Exorcism was stabbed onto his heart!
Before this, Alex had already made up his mind to take down one Grandmaster first the moment he
made his move. Only then could he have a chance of survival. Therefore, he had used everything that
he had⦠Mental power, Stake of Exorcism, the mysterious bead in his energy core, the Mystic Armor
and even an ambush! Otherwise, the ending would be unpredictable.
Kazim went over and checked Carlosâs heartbeat. As expected, there was no heartbeat anymore.
He frowned and said, âThe ancestor of the Stoermers died in the house of Stoermers of Michigan. The
Stoermers of Michigan are going to be in deep trouble. The Stoermers of Alaska will definitely not let
this matter go!â
Spit!
Carey spat a mouthful of phlegm at Carlos. âSuch an old thief who bullies the weak and fears the
strong like him deserves to die. What are you afraid of? With my son-in-law here, could the Stoermers
still be messed? My dear son-in-law, are you tired? Come, have a sit. Let me give you a leg massage!â
Kazim had his eyes widened. He had never enjoyed such a privilege even after being husband and
wife for so many years.
