Abigail was surprised to see him and tried to call him her son-in-law, but Alex immediately shut her up. She was surprised at how Alex, who used to respect her so much, yelled at her.Zelda frowned, confused as to why Alex had come to their house with police officers.As she stepped forward to ask him what was going on, Alex pulled out a contract from a file he was holding and shoved it towards her. "Read it," he said harshly.Zelda looked at the document and was stunned to see that a contract had been signed with Alex for him to pay her $300,000 hospital bills in exchange for her hand in marriage.A month ago, when Zelda was yet to be operated on after taking in poison, Abigail signed a contract with Alex to sort out the bills and promised to get Zelda married to him, which never happened.Alex turned to the police officers and said, "I want this contract to be legally voided. This was an agreement made under false pretenses.""What nonsense, Alex, when did I sign a contract with yo
Oliver dragged Lee towards the little cottage.Seeing them get closer to the door, a smirk appeared on Lee's face."I pray my Madam is around; you're going to regret this. Death is going to be your option." He murmured lightly under his breath.As they approached the entrance, Lee could sense that his master, Madame Xiang, was waiting for them inside. He felt a sense of familiarity and respect towards her, having been under her tutelage for some time.Despite his chi not recovering, he could still feel the familiar presence of his master, indicating she was inside. Same for Oliver; he had already felt the demonic power that was in the room, also showing Madam Xiang was inside.Oliver immediately pushed open the door when they got closer to it. He was met with a sight that made him shocked. There, standing in front of him, was an old woman who appeared to be in her sixties, with a Chinese-looking face indicating that she was Chinese; her demeanor exuded power beyond her age. Her eyes w
Oliver smirked, his eyes glinting with arrogance. "I'm Oliver, and I'm here to do business," he said, his voice dripping with contempt. "I don't answer to anyone, especially not some old woman who thinks she's in charge."Madam Xiang's face flushed with anger at Oliver's disrespectful tone. "You have made a grave mistake, young man," she said, her voice cold as steel. "No one threatens me or my people and gets away with it. You will leave this place immediately, or you will face the consequences."Oliver scoffed, stepping forward as if to intimidate Madam Xiang. "You think you scare me, old lady?" he taunted. "For the sake of your evil power, you people have killed hundreds to use their blood to increase your power; I'm here to get justice for those people." Xiang's evil laughter erupted throughout the entire cottage after hearing Oliver."Are you here to arrest me?" She asked with a sneer.Oliver shook his head and said,"You've got it wrong; I'm not here as a policeman to arrest yo
Xiang staggered to her feet, her body battered and bruised from Oliver's relentless attack. She looked up at him, rage and frustration burning in her eyes."You think you've won?" she snarled. "You have no idea what I'm capable of."She raised her hands and summoned a surge of demonic chi that crackled around her. But Oliver merely stood there, his arms folded across his chest. The air around him shimmered with power, and Xiang's attack seemed to have no effect on him."You're wasting your energy," Oliver said calmly. "You can't defeat me with your dark chi.""Who are you, and what's the source of your power?" Xiang could not help but ask.Oliver chuckled loudly and said, "You old filthy rag thinks you're worthy enough to know about me?" He replied. "It's my turn now," his voice was quiet but filled with power. "You've caused enough harm. It's time to end this.""What do you mean?" Xiang asked with a frown."I could have killed you in two to three moves. What I've been using was just
The powerful blow hit Lee's chest. As Oliver's fist connected with Lee's chest, there was a sickeningly crisp sound that reverberated through the air. It was the sound of bones breaking, of flesh and cartilage giving way beneath the force of the blow. For a moment, the world seemed to freeze as Lee yelled and collapsed to the ground, gasping for air. As he lay on the ground, his chest heaved with pain, he felt like every breath was a struggle. The blow that Oliver had delivered had been powerful, and it had hit him square in the chest. He could feel the impact reverberating through his body like a shockwave that had left him reeling. His heart was racing, and he could feel his pulse pounding in his ears. He tried to take a deep breath, but it felt like his lungs had been crushed. He gasped for air, but it felt like there was a weight on his chest, making it impossible to breathe. For a moment, he thought he might pass out. But the pain kept h
After Lee had taken his last breath, Oliver picked up the phone he had left on record and stopped it. With the help of a video editor, he successfully blurred his face out of the video and transferred it to Lee's phone, which he had taken from him.When he was about to turn around and leave, he saw one of the rooms in the cottage. He walked towards the door, opened it, and entered.Meanwhile, Zelda stepped into the dimly lit pawn shop, clutching the "Vegetation of Nature" necklace in her hand. She approached the counter, where a balding man with a thick beard was engrossed in a newspaper."Excuse me, sir," she said softly, trying to get his attention. The man glanced up and sized her up, noting the expensive-looking necklace in her hand."I want to sell this," she continued, holding out the necklace for him to inspect.The man's eyes widened in recognition as he took the necklace from her. "Ah, the Vegetation of Nature necklace. This is quite an expensive piece." He murmured Zelda not
In the box lay a yellowed pocket-sized book. The cover was adorned with intricate Chinese characters. Intrigued, he picked it up and studied the writing on the cover. It was in Chinese, a language he couldn't understand. Nevertheless, he felt a strange power emanating from the book.He flipped through some of the pages, but the writing remained incomprehensible to him. Frowning in frustration, he stuffed the book into his pocket and left the cottage, not wanting to waste any more time on something he couldn't decipher.Oliver walked back to where he had packed the car. Getting there, he saw as he had ordered, the men were looking over Marcus as he had ordered them. Seeing Oliver return, they all welcomed him in a respectful tone. Marcus panicked upon seeing Oliver return; his panic grew stronger when he realized Lee wasn't following him.He couldn't help but ask in a shaky voice, "Mr. Storm, where's Lee?"Oliver turned to him, his eyes dark and menacing. He raised his hand and d
In the video, a man with a menacing look on his face stood over another man lying on the floor. The man on the floor, who was Lee, looked up at him with fear in his eyes, pleading for mercy, but the man standing over him appeared to show none. With a swift motion, he directed a powerful palm attack towards the man's chest, causing him to convulse violently and vomit blood. The force of the blow was so strong that it seemed to shatter the man's ribcage, and Detective Lauren felt a shiver run down her spine as she watched the gruesome scene unfold.The man was none other than Oliver.A deep frown appeared on Detective Lauren's face as she wondered who could do that."This person seems very powerful, but it's sad that his side is blurred." She said as she swiped to the next video. Lauren was shocked to see another video again; she clicked on it instantly. All the other police officers also gathered around to watch it.Detective Lauren's eyes widened as she watched the video, her heart ra
