Then, he saw Susan stroked her hair shyly, and lowered her head, her face slightly flushed.
Wasnât this just nailing it on the head?
Inside, Alex thought, âThatâs it, mom, youâve been lied to.â
Since Susanâs question pressured him, Alex finally chose to say something about his father. âHe went
missing last year. Someone saw him in a car accident, and some said he died on the spot. His body
was burnt, but when we checked his ashes, it was just an illusion. The ashes were not real but the
ashes of some female pig.â
Alex felt the pigâs ashes was an important clue, which was the reason he said it in detail. He hoped that
it meant his father was still alive somewhere in the world and that Susan could get some information
from it.
Susanâs face was pale with eyes full of tears, completely unable to accept it.
After a while, she confidently said, âImpossible. Your brother is a great man with great abilities, itâs
impossible to kill him in a mere car accident! The ashes of the pig are a good proof. Even if a container
going at high speed on a highway hits him, it would have been impossible for him to die.â
Alex was surprised. âYou⦠You have that much faith in my brother? That he wouldnât die even if he
was hit by a shipping container?â
âBecause Iâve seen it with my own eyes. When a landslide happened, a few heavy stones crashed
down from the height of over a hundred meters, and they didnât kill him when he got hit.â
Alex was so surprised, his eyeballs were about to fall out from its sockets.
Was the man Susan was talking about really his father, William Rockefeller?
She wasnât talking about some superhero like Spiderman or Iromnan?
In that situation, even if it was Alex with the full Mystic armor activated, he wouldnât have been able to
do that!
âIt seems that you donât know a lot about your brother.â Susan said smugly, as though she enjoyed the
sweetness of knowing a secret he didnât.
Alex cursed inwardly. âWilliam Rockefeller, you scum! You hid it from us but told your mistress. Youâre
really something else!â
But he quickly forgave his father. âFine, Iâll forgive you. You must have suffered a lot too!â
He thought about how he himself had been pursued by the Japanese ninjas when he had obtained the
Ultimate Book of Medicine, and how he had concealed the fact from his own wife, Dorothy but he didnât
hide it from Waltz. It was true that it was because he was concerned about her safety, so his father
probably had the same reason too!
Alex asked, âHow did you know my brother?â
When he asked that question, he didnât expect her face to flush red instantly. It seemed as if she
thought it was a sweet and shy scene. She wanted to say it, but felt embarrassed to.
Alex felt a little strange, as though he was digging into his fatherâs romantic history.
He immediately changed the topic and asked, âThen, when was the last time you met my brother?â
Susanâs expression changed again, a little sad this time as she said, âThe last time we met was June
last year. At that time, we had just visited a tomb of a state master of ancient times, and it was very
dangerous inside. We lost a lot of soldiers⦠And this strange disease I had was also from that tomb.
My second uncle stayed in that tomb, and never came out again. Even your brother, who was a
peerless Grandmaster, was injured. He said that he would find a kind of medicine to suppress the Yin
energy in my body. However, there was no news of him after he left that time.â
Alex swallowed heavily.
This was just too much.
His father was actually a Grandmaster, and he didnât know about it at all!
And Susanâs second uncle had died in the tomb, could it have been Chadâs father?
He had casually asked about it and managed to confirm the information.
Alex frowned again and asked, âWhy were you guys at the tomb of an ancient state master? Was there
anything valuable in there? Your body is strange, because your Yin energy is like a wild beast. What
did you experience there? If you tell me in detail, then I will know how to save you properly.â
Susah shook her head. âItâs not that there was something valuable in there. Your brother wanted to find
something, but I didnât know what exactly. Perhaps it was⦠A prophecy book.â
Alex was shocked. âA prophecy book? Was it Nostradamusâ tomb?â
âNo, it was his uncleâs, Caesarâs.â
âWhere is the tomb?â
âItâs in Michigan⦠Oh, right, it seems that the Sky Tower will be built there.â
ââ¦â
Alex was speechless.
