Alex watched the old man run away, and turned to Luz."Have you gotten a perfect picture?" He asked, examining the hand."Yes sir," Tajana said, giving him hard copies of the photos."Follow that old man, give him a copy each and tell him to give it to Su Yang, so that he will see what his beloved son did to mine," Alex said coldly, squatting before Luz where Ikaris was still squatting and carrying him.He began to circulate energy into the hand, while Luz gritted his teeth, trying to endure the pain."I'm sorry, little one. I've neglected you," Alex whispered in guilt, massaging the affected area and trying to fix his bones."You didn't do anything wrong. I'm the one that wanted to eat roasted chicken intestines and drumsticks. I didn't even get to eat it anymore. Emrys heard me shouting and gave up on going after the hawker," Luz said unhappily, making Alex give Emrys a side eye. "You left my son all alone, making that idiot attack him. You deserve a good ass kicking," he said angr
Luz's eyes shined with excitement as they uncovered the treasure on the stage. It looked like an ancient, broken, wooden compass, with hints of metals in it."We actually don't know what this is. We found it in a cave, alongside other treasures in a monk's tomb. We kept trying to stimulate it or discover what it's used for, but it's not responding to any stimuli, so we had no choice but to leave it till the auction. We're sure it's something good, just that no one knows what it is or what it's used for. Is there anyone here that recognizes it?" He asked, looking at the VIP and VVIP stands, searching for known masters and monks that were in attendance, hoping for some enlightenment from them. He sighed in disappointment, and turned back to the treasure on the stage. "Since there's no correct appraisal at hand, we will just bid for it at a giveaway price. Starting from five hundred thousand dollars," the auctioneer announced, making murmurs of incredulity to sweep over the crowd."Doe
Alex immediately scoffed, noticing his reluctance to sell it for such a low price now that someone actually bid for it. Not just that, the ears of other people in the VIP and VVIP stands immediately perked up, hoping to know whether it's worth offending the mysterious man in boot number 2(Alex) for.This was not the first time Alex was dealing with such people, so he was not really that worried.He looked at Luz who was already scowling at everyone else and held his hands, trying to calm him down."I don't know what it's used for either. I'm as confused as the rest of you, especially as my efforts to analyze it was met with failure," Alex simply said, relaxing back on the chair."Why then do you want to buy it, when you don't know what it's used for?," the auctioneer asked, still suspicious of Alex."Because my son wants it. My son felt fascinated with it and asked me to buy it for him. Besides, he's saying he felt bad that no one liked the treasure, abandoning it on stage. Since it's
Luz's lips stretched into a stubborn line, before he quickly tempered it with a cute smile, making Alex feel helpless.His smile had successfully disarmed Alex, making him unable to do anything to him.Alex smirked and bent down, gently biting Luz's ear, while whispering to him."The way you're stressing and teasing me right now, what do you think I will do to you? Just grow up and bring your girlfriend home, I will do worse to her. I will tease her the same way you're doing to me right now, naughty boy. I wonder where you learnt all these from. You sure as hell did not learn it from me. Your little sister and brother are not like this, they're clueless and innocent when it comes to such dirty things. But you're an old man in a child's body. I better not catch you doing something with any girl till you clock seventeen. Otherwise, hmmm," Alex threatened, making Luz blush and push him away."What nonsense are you talking about? Who is doing what with a girl? It can't be me. I don't unde
Alex's brows furrowed as he wondered if all the young masters of Hong Kong were blind, arrogant, bats seeking for death. First was Su Mu, then this blonde sissy. "I'm talking to you, who gave you the right to go up there?" He asked arrogantly, puffing out his chest while inserting his right hand into his pocket, trying to play cool."And who are you?" Alex asked, his eyes narrowing dangerously."Wow, he doesn't know young master Cha Si Feng? Which village did he crawl out from?" Someone muttered amongst the guests.Si Feng immediately frowned, his scowl and anger multiplying because Alex claimed not to know him."You must be very stupid, you blind bat!" He roared at Alex, earning him ten thunderous slaps from Alex.By the time he was done with him, his face had swollen like one stung with bees, his eyes looked weird, his lips were broken, and his face turned red and purple within a second, making everyone in the restaurant gasp in horror, anticipating a good show.His guards immedia
"I was thinking about the same thing. His face seems uncannily familiar. However, I can't remember where I saw him in the past, especially as we're not often in Hong Kong since this region is not one of your dependents," Tajana said thoughtfully, looking down at Si Feng who seem to be arguing with uncle Sam over them."I know now! It's him!" Ikaris shouted, his face turning red due to rage."He's the one that bullied Aridan in Singapore back then. You had just rescued Aridan and his cultivation base was so weak, making him easy to bully. He had humiliated Aridan in a trade fair and left before we got there!" Ikaris shouted, his eyes shining with indignation.Alex immediately nodded."Exactly! He's the person in the CCTV I checked out. Cha Si Feng! The last time, we left in a hurry, unable to do anything to him. I was intending to let him go, but why must I do that now? Of course, we have to get justice for little Aridan," Alex said with a grin, looking at Si Feng who angrily walked ou
Alex coughed even harder, his face turning red. For the first time in ages, he was blushing due to embarrassment.However, the people around him misunderstood the reason for his cough."Did they put something bad in the food? But boss doesn't have an allergy to any food ingredients that I know of. Or did they fail to debone it properly?" Shadow muttered, watching Luz rubbing Alex's back."It must be that. He choked on a bone. Call that chef!" Tajana said angrily, standing up.Alex hurriedly waved at him, instructing him to sit down.Alex took deep breaths, circulating his internal energy to push down the food he ate that got stuck in his throat. After a while, he finally managed to swallow it and heaved a sigh of relief, looking at the people around him resentfully for making him recall a dirty and distracting thought."Dad, what's wrong? Are you alright now?" Luz asked, still staring worriedly at him."Yes sweetheart, dad is alright now," he whispered, wiping away the sweat on Luz's
Alex immediately realized the thought process of the man before them and quickly shielded Luz with his aura, while Luz hurriedly compressed his own aura, pretending not to notice what was going on."That was incredibly disrespectful of you," Alex said coldly, eyeing the man."I'm sorry, let's go on. I was just curious about the level of his cultivation," he quickly said with a helpless smile on his face."You could have asked. My son is still young, what if you had mistakenly left a lasting damage on his fragile base. I would never have forgiven you. I would have torn you apart, here and now. I don't joke with my son. Beware!," Alex said, turning to leave."Benefactor wait, let's go to the secret chambers where the stronger weapons and artifacts are stored," he quickly said, turning into a dark, narrow, passageway.Alex and the rest followed him, stopping before a door with a variety of buddhist talismans.Suppression and purifying marks were engraved on the door. And the biggest yet
