Alex was stunned for a moment before he burst into laughter, making the old man confused.“Doctor, heal yourself. You couldn't even tell apart the traitors in your own family, fighting you and poisoning you. Yet, you want to tell me about the ones in the Winthrop manor. Before you expose who they are to me, put your home in order, and forget about your underhanded tricks, they won't work on me. So, thanks, but I'm not interested at all.” The old Vanderbilts chuckled and shook his head.“You may be powerful, but you're way too young, making you unable to understand the ways of the world. People call you god, but you're not close to one, that's why even an old Olympian fox could teach you a lesson. Hera's abilities do not work that way, the mirror doesn't check things within the manor because the handler stays in here. Since you're not interested, there's nothing much to say. See you next time, and treat my girl well.” “There won't be a next time, and your girl is still here with you.
Bing Yu Xue felt surprised by Alex's sudden outburst.“I thought you knew. When she was about to leave, the men asked her to to wait while they inform you. But she refused and rushed out with her secretary. Didn't your men tell you about it?” Alex turned to Aridan, Tajana, Raz, and Ikaris who was eating with them at the dining table.“So when were you going to tell me? When one of my numerous enemies kidnap my wife or worse?” He growled, making them shiver in fear. His nether energy began to seep out, suffocating the men and Bing Yu Xue. But surprisingly, little Kaiser was still babbling while holding tightly to Alex.Kaiser's little fist suddenly found Alex’s face, along with his shout of ‘dada’.His excited shout was like a bucket of cold water on Alex and he immediately realized that he had let his fearsome nether energy seep out because he was angry.“Dada, mama.” He shouted, jumping on Alex's lap while holding his shirt tightly for balance.Alex looked at Bing Yu Xue apologetica
Alex zoomed to the area he left the baby, appearing a few inches away from the blanket in a flash. Alex looked around and saw Kaiser holding onto the expensive shatoosh fur coverings he sprayed on the center table/ magical drawer where he kept antiques. Sacred weapons, and several training guides were also locked away in the drawers.“Kaiser! Oh my goodness!” Alex roared as he stared red eyed at what Kaiser had done. He was unscatched and healthy quite alright, but the table now looked as if a cyclone ran through it. Kaiser spared a glance at him, before he went back to the table, grabbing a hold of the shatoosh fur covering to pull himself up. “No!” Alex shouted, diving towards him. He quickly grabbed Kaiser with his right hand, while his left stopped the things on the table from toppling over.“You little rat! How dare you?” Alex growled as he carried up Kaiser with a beating heart, and looked at the mess the little one made on the floor. He had smashed two very expensive antiques
Alex brought the bracelet close to his ear to hear the details clearly.He sighed and quickly straightened up. “I would have given you a lesson on parenting and manners, but I have more pressing things to do. Thank your stars and reflect on yourself till I get back.” Alex said in a low voice and turned to leave while Yu Xue sat there with a docile expression.A little fist grabbed Alex's finger, stopping him from leaving.Alex turned to Kaiser who was smiling and grinning so happily at him. His heart melted once again and his expression mirrored the love in the baby's eyes. His quarrel with Yu Xue seemingly had no effect on the baby for he still loved and trusted his father.Alex bent over the boy's face while he lay on Yu Xue's lap smiling at him, as if hoping to lure him into staying back.“My handsome big boy, I need to go somewhere. I will be back before you know it, okay. I love you, daddy loves you a lot, more than everything.” he whispered, and kissed the baby's forehead, nose
Alex was literally dying in frustration, even though Aridan was doing his best to meet up with time. “Aridan, I think you should park somewhere so that I can take the wheels.” Alex said, making Aridan's heart skip a beat.“No boss, that's not proper at all. You're very anxious, and driving in your current condition is not advisable. Besides, if you push the car with your true energy, it will definitely explode. Your energy will be too powerful for the car to take. We are almost there, please calm down boss. Nothing will happen to Lady Eleanor, we will make it in time. It has just been fifteen minutes and we are already close to Hill City state boundary. Halendale is just a little town in Hill City's remote areas. Within the next five minutes, we will definitely arrive beside Lady Eleanor. Please calm down, don't act recklessly because you're anxious, to avoid making mistakes.” Aridan pleaded, pushing the car as fast as he could. Alex sighed and closed his eyes. In as much as he want
“Keep mute and continue monitoring them, while watching out for more evil cultivators.” Alex whispered and stood upright, caressing the shivering Eleanor's back to keep her calm.“Can I have your attention please?” Alex said in a booming voice which he infused with energy, finally grabbing their attention. “We don't want to hear anything. She's an incompetent slut who can't provide a proper working condition for the people slaving away for her.” Someone roared from the crowed, making Alex annoyed. He would have taught the idiot a lesson, but unfortunately, he was on a diplomatic mission. He had to calm down and allow the mad dogs bark.“What about the incompetence of the workers working in the company? My wife was not in the company when the fire happened, how did the fire become her fault? I have not taken it up with the careless workers who let something go wrong, destroying properties and assets worth millions in the process. Who is going to compensate us for what we lost? Who is
The man's eyes widened and he quickly tried to shield himself. But of course, Alex wouldn't let him. High tech guns, daggers, and explosives, in addition to a few unknown materials were strapped to his body. He quickly tried to take Eleanor hostage, but Alex was faster. He kicked him away, and the man quickly twirled mid air and changed his fingers to claw stance, trying attack Alex's carotid artery to strike him down in one swoop. Alex met his claw with a palm strike, swatting him away, while simultaneously sending a kick his way. He still made another dive towards Eleanor, making his intentions obvious.Alex quickly threw Eleanor up and Aridan caught her, swirling mid air with her in his hands. Their eyes met, and Aridan smiled at her, silently reassuring her with the promise of his protection. At that moment, her heart skipped a few beats and began to race. But she was unable to determine if it was the handsome young man smiling at her beneath the mask, or the novelty of the frigh
Alex pretended not to notice anything and concentrated on the crowd before him. There were more saboteurs of course, but he pretended not to notice since they wouldn't dare behave rashly for fear of being discovered. Soon, Alex's men in Hill City who were posing as members of the police arrived to help quell things. “Please, if you or either of your relatives are wounded, move to the side. The workers who were trapped in the fire should please move to the relief tents being set up.” Alex announced in a loud voice just as his ‘police officers’ took the captured saboteurs away. Some of the ‘policemen’ had set up some tents at a corner just outside the factory's gates, waiting for the treatment to commence. Shadow's voice filtered into Alex’s ears, making him pause for a while. “Boss, I'm here. The assassins suddenly withdrew at the last minute. However, the one I wanted to take hostage was killed by his teammates before they escaped.” He whispered to Alex through the chip they used
