Douglasâs expression changed immediately as he stared at Alex with shock gracing his features.
Alex gave a faint smile. âWhat? Did I say something wrong?
Douglas shook his head, and asked in surprise. âSir, how⦠How did you see through it?â
Alex pointed to the bracelet on his wrist. âThat mystical tool isnât too bad, it does help to offset some of
the Yin energy. However, there is no way to remove all of it. So, Mr Hunter, you need to be careful. The
burden on your body is pretty heavy. When the Yin energy seeps in deeper, it will reach a limit, and
when that time comes, even the gods canât save you.â
At that moment, thousands of expressions flitted across Douglasâs face. After a while, he asked with
the utmost respect in his
tone. âSir, are you a superior of the mystical people? Could you please save my daughter?â
After speaking, he fell to his knees with a thud in front of Alex. He looked both agitated but nervous and
expectant at the same time
Alex waved his hands dismissively and Douglas was immediately lifted up by an unseen force, proving
that Alex was a superior being of mystical power. Douglasâ s demeanor became even more respectful.
âSir⦠If you could please save my daughter, my humble self will be willing to serve you wholeheartedly.
â Douglas pleaded once more through gritted teeth.
Alex seemed to be at loss for words and huffed out a laugh. âYouâre not a beauty to behold, so why
would I want you to wait on me? Thatâs enough, I was initially going to teach that high and mighty
nephew of yours a lesson, but who would âve thought that Iâd meet someone as interesting as you.
Whether or not I can save your daughter is not a conversation for the present. First, tell me about your
familyâs situation. Where did you get this Yin energy?â
Douglas can only hope to make it in time and save his daughterâs life.
He collected himself and started speaking. âThis issue has a long history. Itâs best that I start explaining
from my ancestry. Three generations ago, my ancestors were in the grave robbing business to put it
nicely, we were tomb raidersâ¦â
Alex nodded, this wasnât surprising.
He had used his Third Eye and seen that the negative energy on his body had something to do with the
dead. Soon after, Douglas told him the rest of his tale.
In this family, not only did Douglas pick up the habits of being a tomb raider, his daughter Susan did as
well, and with exceptional skills and talent. In this family, almost everyone was in this line of occupation,
Chadâs father was the same as well.
However, in the process of a grave raid a year ago, heâd unfortunately passed.
Douglasâ daughter also fell victim to a strange disease that would have done her in had a master not
got to her in time. However, more than a year had passed and her life force had almost been drained.
The master had promised that heâd save his daughter before she passed but sadly it was all empty
words.
Hearing this, Alex was shocked.
It seems that Susan had encountered some hostile being when she robbed that grave a year ago.
Alex nodded in understanding. âI got it. How about this, once Iâve assisted my friend celebrate his
girlfriendâs birthday, I shall check on your daughterâs condition.â
Douglas was beyond happy and expressed his gratitude profusely.
Alex waved it off. âCollect your nephew and wait downstairs for me.â
âYes sir!â Douglas replied in a hurry.

Back in Chloeâs house, everyone was still waiting anxiously.
In their eyes, Master Alex was the highest leader so when he wasnât present, the birthday could not go
on. The cake was still set on the table as Nicholas spoke up. âCutting the cake shouldnât be a problem
as long as we leave Alex a slice.â
Chloe, however, refused to budge. During this time, Chloe had already introduced Nicholas to the
family.
Her parents had no objections as long as her boyfriend wasnât too old, had a decent job and wasnât a
hoodlum. Nicholas may look a bit chubby but his average looks were better than Chadâs, who was
kneeling next to them. The ninety nine hundred thousand pearled necklace was displayed in front of
them in an almost blinding beauty.
