Inside, Alex thought, âIsnât this because Iâm creating an opportunity for Darven?â
Just at this moment, a shout came from outside. âAhh! Not good, Darven has escaped!â
Alexâs heart thumped.
Anna was about to run out, but Alex grabbed her. âYou havenât fastened your belt yet.â
By the time she fastened her belt and gave chase, Darven was long gone. There werenât many people
left behind in the Divine Constabulary, and most of them lay unconscious on the ground. Those who
were still conscious were as weak as a kitten.
âHeâs fairly capable!â Alex was slightly surprised.
Darven was so old. He didnât expect the older man to be this vigorous. It clearly displayed a strength of
a Shaman that he couldnât underestimate, and those who werenât in that field would only meet their end
if they met a Shaman.
âWhere is he? Where has he gone?â Anna asked.
âHe went in the direction of the mountain at the back,â one of them said.
Anna gave chase immediately and quickly reached the mountain at the back.
She suddenly stopped running, then looked back at Alex. âEnough, weâll give chase up until here. The
mountains there are steep, and if the older man sees me chasing him, Iâm afraid that he might fall to his
death.â
She wasnât stupid. She could tell that Alex was the one who had let Darven go.
Alex touched his nose. âThe mountains are indeed quite steep.â
âDid you manage to get your answers? Your fatherâs⦠Whereabout?â Anna said.
Alex looked into the distance. âThe mystery around him just keeps getting harder to unravel.â
Beep beepâ¦
Just then, Alexâs phone rang.
He pulled it out to look at the caller ID and found that it was Daya.
Anna also saw her name, and something flashed in her eyes. âI wonât be the third wheel between you
and Dayaâs lovey-dovey conversation,â she said. âIâll go back first! Oh right, those people from the
Divine Constabulary will be fine, right?â
âYeah, just splash some water on them,â Alex said.
Anna waved, then turned around and left.
Alex swiped the screen and accepted the call.
âDaya!â
âAlex, do you have some time now? The Lush Scar Removal Cream commercial has been done. Do
you want to come over and have a look?â
Alex smiled. âItâs a commercial that you featured in. Of course, itâll be good. You can just send it over to
my mom.â
Daya hesitated, then said, âWell, my mom has come to California, and she said⦠She wanted to treat
you to a meal. The big favor that you did in helping out my family last time, we still havenât properly
thanked you yet.â
Alex frowned, and his head felt big for a moment.
Carey had posed a difficult question to him the last time, asking him when he would be marrying her
daughter, but he really couldnât find a way to agree to it. This time, she had chased him all the way to
California; her purpose was obvious. It was probably to help her daughter pursue the man who would
be her son-in-law.
âIf itâs inconvenient, itâs fine too. Iâll just tell my mother ânoâ and say youâre busy.â Daya said.
âThereâs no need. Iâm free!â Alex said immediately.
Although Daya forced herself on him before, a man was born to carry the responsibilities in this regard,
and not to mention, he was moved.
He couldnât be a man who was so heartless after he was done removing obstacles to meet his own
purpose, after all. It so happened that it was also time for lunch.
Very soon, he arrived at the agreed location. It also happened to be one of the restaurants owned by
Thousand Miles Conglomerate, South Cali Dining, and they had reserved the Jade Room No. 3.
When Alex pushed open the door to walk in, he didnât notice that a woman had just walked out from the
opposite private room. It wasnât anyone else but his ex-mother-in-law, Claire Assex.
When Claire saw Alex entering the private room, she was immediately surprised. Then, she saw Daya
inside, who greeted Alex with a bright smile. She even took his hand affectionately.
In addition, Carey had also stood up with a smile upon her face and said, âAlright, son-in-law, come on.
Hurry and sit! Oh, one day apart feels like three seasons have passed! Iâve just watched Dayaâs
commercial video. Your Lush Cosmetics will definitely get even more popular!â
Then, the door was closed.
Claire stood outside, wondering why she felt so uncomfortable!
