âMom, Iâm worried about him. I want to go and see,â Daya said to Carey. That was a Grandmaster from
the Coleman family, and now he has hostages in his hand.
âIâll go with you,â said Carey.
Alex had gotten involved with the Coleman family of Missouri because of the Stoermer family of
Michigan, so how could she just stand by and watch?
Thus, the three women of the Stoermer family left as well.
Only Claire was left behind looking at the mess on the ground, filled with bafflement.
***
Woosh!
With a flash, Alex appeared in Maple Villa.
After he activated his âflash-mode,â he was even faster than an F1 racing car. Running that quickly on
the city road, no one could even make out his face, and all they could see was the gust of wind he left
behind.
He didnât even need half an hour.
In less than ten minutes, he arrived at Maple Villa 8. When he saw how beaten Hailey looked on the
ground, with her broken bone protruding from her flesh and blood dripping everywhere, he could feel
the seething rage boiling in his heart.
God d*mn it!
Then, he saw the security guardâs body hanging on the iron pole and Zoey, unconscious, in Byakkoâs
arms. After a long look, he found that Zoey had two broken ribs apart from her head injury. She was
slightly concussed and had been unconscious the entire time.
âTo land such heavy blows on a child⦠God d*mn it!â
âBoy, youâre here so quickly! â said Terrance from a chair he had sat in.
The chair had, of course, been taken from inside the villa. Its gates had long been kicked down.
Alex blinked. The bloodthirst in his heart had reached its peak.
Even the Milky Way and the highest heaven couldnât wash away the anger he felt. Nonetheless, his
face showed nothing that betrayed his feelings. âShouldnât you be happy that I came so soon? This
way, you can meet Hades even faster!â
In the Purple Court, one of the 36 True Dragon Swords began to stir restlessly.
Facing a Grandmaster, it was impossible for Alex to rely on The Force or Thunder Palm purely. The
only way he could possibly score a victory was to catch the old man off-guard and launch a sneak
attack using the 36 True Dragon Swords.
It was unfortunate that the 36 True Dragon Swords could only be used in the Divine Transcendence
realm. Before this, he had used a secret method to raise his level temporarily, and even then, he could
only use one of the Dragon Bone Swords. And despite all that, he had to pay a severe price with the
backlash he got.
âHehehe⦠You put on a show to deceive this old man the last time. Do you think Iâd fall for the same
trick?â
âFine. This time, donât run away like a dog with its tail between its legs!â
Alex raised his hand, then stomped his foot down fiercely. âThunder, come!â
At the same time, a translucent bone sword was hiding within his palm. He was prepared to use the
Dragon Bone Sword and the Thunder Palm Mantra to kill the other.
The Thunder Palm Mantra was just a distraction. The real ultimate move would be the Dragon Bone
Sword.
But unexpectedly, before the thunder mantra could take effect, Terrance suddenly grabbed Zoey and
held her out in front of him. He roared with laughter as he said, âDid you think that a Grandmaster like
myself would really fight against you? Youâre too naive!â
âDidnât you know how noble a Grandmasterâs status was?â
The Colemans in Missouri needed him as a master of the family, so how could he take such risks?
âNow, kneel. Be the lapdog of the Missouri Colemans, and I will let her go.â
âWhat?â Alex was startled, his eyes nearly bursting out from their sockets from anger. âHow despicable
you are⦠A disgrace to the status of a Grandmaster!â
âHahaha, will you kneel or not?â
Terrance placed a palm on top of Zoeyâs head. All it needed was a burst of inner strength from his
palm, and Zoeyâs little life would vanish in an instant.
Hailey, who had been watching the entire scene unfolding before her, finally couldnât take it anymore.
She fell into a deathly faint.
What should he do?
He couldnât just watch Zoey get killed in front of his eyes!
