Alex immediately smiled at him, noticing how guarded he was.“How can I fight you? I know not to do such things with elders. I was already going away because I'm rushing to go elsewhere. Furthermore, I was merely trying to make you see reasons with me,” Alex said with a wide smile, trying to soothe the angry old man.“I can't see any reasons with you. That silk was not meant for sale, it's just to fill up the spaces. So, kindly give it back,” Pa James said, making Alex to chuckle heartily.“You didn't tell me at the initial stage that it wasn't meant for sale. I already marked it as mine, you can't take it away. This was not the agreement. You asked me to make sure that what I took was less than ten percent of the total goods, and I did just that. Taking even less than ten percent. Why then are you trying to renege on the agreement and cause a silly scene in here? I have already taken and marked it, sending it back will not be possible." Alex said authoritatively, pulling the cart aw

Alex frowned, quickly circulating his internal energy to protect his heart.“It's nothing, let's go. We don't have much time to waste,” he quickly said, pushing them away.“Dad, are you sure?” Luz asked, trying to hold him back.“I'm fine, let's go!” Alex quickly said, entering the car.“Wait, take this bag to those in the other car. I'm sure they're hungry too,” Alex said, giving Luz one of the paper bags.He quickly went to the sedan and offered it to Emrys, Shadow and Ikaris who were in the other car, before quickly rushing back to the SUV.He met Alex removing the shells of the eggs, before slashing them into two equal parts with his fruit knife.“That knife, Dad, I hope you have never used it to kill people. I don't want to eat particles of human flesh or blood,” Luz immediately rattled, making Tajana chuckle from the driver's seat.However, Alex wasn't finding it funny at all.“Are you an evil child? Why will you refer to your father as a murderer?” Alex asked unhappily, making

To everyone's surprise, Alex remained quiet, diligently picking jade stones from various boxes.Soon he stopped selecting from the box with the cheaper stones, signaling to one of the attendants to come.“Yes sir, how may I help you?” She asked with a calm smile, looking at him with a professionalism that belied her inner thoughts.“Please cost these stones so that my assistant here can pay for them,” Alex whispered, standing up from the boxes to shove the cart to Tajana.Tajana silently accepted it, not needing further words to obey his instructions.Alex moved to the row housing the high-quality stones and took a deep breath, enjoying the energy abundant in the high-quality jades. He closed his eyes and went to the area with the highest cluster of energy, picking out the best. He repeated this process many times till all the high-quality stones that had something good in them got exhausted.At this point, people watching him became confused because he was carefully selecting those o

Alex opened his eyes, and yawned, pretending to feel sleepy. He had noticed people monitoring him.“There are resentful spirits and evil talismans in the so-called jade city plaza. There's another space and tunnels below the plaza, and secret entrances, nefarious things are going on here, very dirty things. I wonder if I can find the entrance and break in,” Alex thought, his brain working like a clock.*****An old woman was in a secret chamber, watching Alex through the screen.“I can't see through that young man and his group. Even his little son has a shield around his seemingly weak body. Neither can I see his destiny. He seems suspicious, no matter how innocent and unsuspecting he looks. Go down there. I want you and your sister to eat him at all costs,” The woman said, a serene smile on her face, the smile that never seems to fade. “Yes mother, right away. We will eat him and bring his seed to you,” the young woman said, leaving the room.*****Alex continued moving around, and

Alex's shaky hands turned on the ignition and began to drive to the hotel where they lodged.Shadow quickly followed him in the sedan, trying to keep up with Alex's monstrous speed.“Boss looks terrible, what the hell could have happened there?” Ikaris asked, turning to Tajana.Tajana scowled at him, tempted to hit him.“If you ask me, who do you want me to ask, huh?” He asked angrily, looking out the window to search for signs of Alex's tail lights.“Ah? Why are you so far behind? Shadow, drive faster?” Tajana shouted, noticing Alex, whose car was nearly drifting very far ahead.“Yes, sir!” Shadow immediately replied with a smirk, suddenly changing the gear with a very high speed.Two loud thumps followed as Tajana, who was still trying to see Alex's car, hit his head on the car's metal body.“Hey! Shadow, what the hell are you doing?” He roared furiously, still half standing as he tried to see if they were gaining on Alex.“Oh, sorry sir. I guess this is not fast enough. I will incr
