*****For some reason, the next day was somehow calm in school, and nobody tried to look for trouble with Alex whatsoever.Well… it wasn’t that Alex noticed.No, he didn’t even notice anything at all since his mind was only filled with Jewel.He continued recalling the never-ending nightmares he had since he slept the previous night till this morning.During his sleep the previous night, he was even woken up countless times because of these scary nightmares, and the night terrors had one thing in common, it was related to what they both experienced going home the night before.Alex dreamt that the Skeleton caught Jewel and did to her what it did to the five youths, he dreamt that it abducted Jewel and disappeared with her, that Jewel became hopeless, and many more.Even recalling the nightmare right now makes Alex break out in a sweat.Every time Alex thought of what would have happened, he kept thanking his stars that he had given Jewel the protective necklace and Jade hairpin
*****“Do you not say that the bastard was an ordinary nobody?”Presently in the grand elder’s inner cave, the grand elder who currently appears casual while chewing on some seed read out loud.“Me, say he was an ordinary nobody? When?”He questioned himself casually, appearing not to have taken the words seriously in the least.With that, he released his mind energy, coupled with his thoughts, and instantly, the questions he just muttered out loud to himself appeared on the scroll before him.Just as these words appeared, a single word that was filled to the brim with killing intent appeared below it, scaring the grand elder to his core and making him take some steps back with fear.“This bastard!!!”He gritted his teeth furiously, his breathing quickening as he dared not gaze at the single word that almost took his life.Looking at the word, it wasn’t anything special, it was only; “You!!”But although it was only a single word, a written word at that, the strong killing in
Chapter 150 - An Unexpected Auction*****Immediately after the call ended, Alex called his two girlfriends to inform them that he would be going out of town the next day.Although tge call was made desperately to the two ladies, they both reacted in the same manner, first dumbfounded, before becoming filled with questions and getting confused.But in the end, they didn’t question Alex at all, thinking that what he was going to do must be very personal.With that, they wished him a safe trip and only asked when he would be back.Once the calls ended, Alex was about to park some necessities for the journey when he received a call from someone whom he had almost forgotten completely.It was from the Old Man, the obsessed old man Pu who had introduced Alex to the idea that there are actually ki cultivators in the mortal world, who are hidden away from the public.He was the one who had wanted to buy his presents for Jewel on her birthday.After returning to his senses from recolle
*****In one of the countless slums in Potter City, there was a massive old building that used to belong to one of the wealthiest and most powerful leaders of Potters City before things changed and the circle of life occurred.According to history, the owner of this building was a benevolent person who despite being powerful enough to own almost everything he wanted in the world decided to build his house in this area which had always been a slum since the beginning of time.Some might ask why he built such an enormous house when he was called a benevolent human being. Actually, it was to house the countless homeless people from all the wakes of lives in the country.This person was so great that even though he had been dead for more than a hundred years already, his status was still very fresh and nice, his iconic history was still being passed down from generation to generation even though it wasn’t being taught in schools, and his building had turned into a tourist center for a
*****“Hey, brother Luke, you look so excited, was it because of those wealthy people whom we’ve never seen before in our lives or because of the first month’s Salary I heard from your mother you just received from your new job?”“Duh… look at you! Hehehe! I’m excited because I’m going to make it big tonight, what does it have to do with me about the wealthy people?”“You… make it big? Are you going to rob a bank?”“Yes, brother Luke, are you going to rob a bank? If not, you have to carry your brothers with you as well!”“Me, rob a bank… nah… Nah, I will never do such a thing ““Then what are you up to? How are you going to make it big?”With that, the young man who had made a bet with Alex suddenly pointed in Alex’s direction, telling his friends who had just arrived about the bet he just made with him.“Argh!!! Brother Luke, why didn’t you call me about such a great goody?”“Fuck you brother Luke, and I took you as my number one brother in arms!”They were all immediately o
***** Chuckling to himself, Alex returned to the building.But before he entered again, he asked about the Old man who told him to come wait for him here, and he was told that something had come up which was why the old man was late, but he called in advance to allow him, Alex enter.“Oh…”Already understanding the second part, Alex finally entered, and then he began to appreciate the ancient building, while at the same time being amazed by all the people entering.“To think that this large number of cultivators exists in this mortal world,” he sighed the more he felt the ki brimming within the people entering and exiting.By now, Alex no longer took seriously what his master had left him about his world lacking cultivators because that was an obvious lie.Although most of them are not that powerful and lack the potential to be, at the end of the day, they are still cultivators.…..Looking at the place now, it resembled a mansion of ancient days, with all sorts of grand hal
*****“It’s okay.”Still smiling slightly, Alex finally opened his mouth and behaved dismissively, acting as if he didn’t feel the tension in the atmosphere or how shocked everybody was at the moment.“Thank you, young master.”The old man who for unknown reasons decided to make Alex’s identity as an extraordinary person known bowed his head once again, then acting as if he also couldn’t feel everybody’s shock, he introduced the two people behind him.“Sir, this person here is my granddaughter, and the one there is my son.”“Hello, sir. My father has mentioned a lot about you,” the middle-aged man who was pointed to walked forward and smiled slightly at Alex.Although he sounded respectful, the curiosity in his eyes as he tried to judge Alex was visible for Alex to see, but despite this, Alex acted as if he saw nothing, returning the man’s greeting.“It is nice to meet you,” he shook the middle-aged man’s outstretched hand and then subconsciously glanced at the cold beauty behi
*****“We welcome everybody to this once-in-a-lifetime auction.”Immediately this voice sounded, all gazes went towards the platform.While the trio, including everybody else in the other rooms, were busily discussing and doing their thing, a short man with a smile on his fresh face who was dressed in a black tuxedo appeared.“Young master, please have your seat,” The old man quickly invited Alex to one of the chairs in the middle which Alex accepted with a nod of appreciation.With that, the Old Man sat on the second chair in the middle and had his son sit beside him, leaving the still-arrogant and anger-filled girl to sit on the chair next to Alex.“Grandfather!” she gritted her teeth with all the muscle in her mouth as she spat this out quietly, then glaring ferociously at Alex and her grandfather, the lady sulkily went to the chair next to Alex and sat.But throughout her act, none of the three inside the room with her noticed, why? Because all their attention was now on the
