Anna didnât know what else to say anymore.
Having a Grandmaster for a father, what was this?
No, not only was he a Grandmaster, but he was also a Cultivation Guru. It was no wonder Alex had
achieved so much at a young age and was able to trample on a naturally talented girl like her.
Her pride had suffered a blow. It was so unfair. Her heart hurt from the injustice of it!
How great would it be if she had a Grandmaster for a father too!
âBoss Rockefeller has gone missing?â Darvenâs eyes widened, filled with disbelief. Then, he seemed to
recall something and seemed hesitant.
Alex was keenly aware of the change in his expression, so he turned to Anna and said, âCan I talk to
him alone?â
âYou can, butâ¦â
Anna looked at the camera that had been destroyed.
The Divine Constabulary had rules that every interrogation had to be monitored and recorded. By doing
this, Alex had broken the rules of the Divine Constabulary.
Alex pulled her aside. âAnna, this matter concerns my fatherâs life or death. I hope you can help me.
From now on, youâll be my blood sister.â
Anna frowned. âCan you still treat me like a sister after this?â
Fine, Annaâs initial impression was that her days would be different than others anyway.
Then, Alex changed his mind. âConsider that I owe you a favor. If you help me this time, Iâll help you
achieve Earth Expert level.â
Annaâs eyes lit up, but then she shook her head. âWhat are you saying? I just said that I wouldnât bat an
eyelash even if you wanted my life. I donât need any payment from you. Go on and talk!â
Then, she went to a corner and jumped. She reached up into a concealed beam above and grabbed
the monitoring device before waving it in Alexâs direction.â
There was another one here. Itâs safe now. Iâll go out and keep watch.â
Alex was speechless.
Once Anna was gone, Darven sighed. âI didnât expect that youâd turn out to be Boss Rockefellerâs son.
Like father, like son indeed. I accept my defeat in your hands wholeheartedly.â
Alex got straight to the point. âIâve met Susan Hunter.â
Darven was taken aback, and a strange look crossed his face. âYouâve met her? Then, do you know
that she and your fatherâ¦â
Seeing Alex nod, Darven coughed awkwardly, then changed the topic. âI thought your fatherâs
disappearance might have something to do with Susan, but since youâve met her, then I could be
wrong.â
âHow did you and my father meet?â Alex asked.
Suddenly, Darven had a faraway look in his eyes. âTalking about that, I guess an exchange of blows
may lead to friendship, since if thereâs no discord, there would be no concord. When your father was in
Hong Kong alone, he had accidentally clashed with one of my disciples. Your father chopped off the leg
of my disciple in a fit of anger, so of course, I had to do something on my discipleâs behalf, and thenâ¦
cough, cough. We donât have to talk so much about what happened after.â
It was quite interesting to hear about his fatherâs past deeds.
Initially, Alexâs image of his father was one of a president and boss. But now, this image had gradually
faded and was replaced by another strong shadow. As he dug and investigated more, the shadow
became clearer and clearer, taking on a solid shape.
âAround April of last year, your father looked for me and asked me to follow him to explore an ancient
tomb. The tomb belongs to Caesar, a warlock from ancient times. There were a total of seventy two
people who went, each of whom were great players in their field⦠Unexpectedly, the dangers in the
tomb were far more severe than we had thought. If it werenât for your fatherâs ungodly powers to
resolve various crises, all seventy two people would have been wiped out.â
âIn the end, only a handful of us, thirteen, made it out alive.â
âBut, the rewards were also greatâ
Alex then asked, âThen, do you know why my father had you guys go to the tomb in the first place?â
âWe werenât clear of the details, but it seems to be related to the Holy Book,â Darven replied.
With the things he had said, Alex could more or less guess a few things quite accurately.
âOh, thatâs right. I suddenly remember now. There were several groups of people who wanted to snatch
the Holy Book from your fatherâs hands. One of them was the Japanese. Those Japanese brats just
came looking for their deaths. They werenât a match for your father at all. But, there was one very
strong group. The fear your father displayed at that time when we were attacked⦠Iâm wondering
whether your fatherâs disappearance may have something to do with them.â
