The sounds of Hera's whimpers were messing with Alex's mind, giving him a headache. But he was also afraid of actively comforting her because of what often follows when people attracted to each other tries to act the gallant comforter of the sorrowful one.He took one look at Ariella, realizing that nothing improper would happen with her right beside them.Alex wiped Hera's face and caressed her back gently, taking a deep breath.“Please, stop crying. You're making it look as if I'm a bad person. We're almost at the Vanderbilts manor. Do you want the old man to attack me thinking I beat you up? Stop it already.”Hera forced a smile and quickly reached for her phone to send a message.Within thirteen minutes, the first cars which were Kaiser's convoy stopped before a mighty bronze gate, and after a few seconds the gates opened on its own, letting them in. Aridan drove the Rolls-royce to the front porch where the old man and some staff were waiting. Hera quickly wiped her face, and adju
Alex frowned and stared, watching him. He simply sat crosslegged and began to cultivate, leaving Hera stunned. At once, she began to remember the things Alex said about an angry doctor being dangerous. She immediately shook her head.No, Alex wouldn't intentionally kill her grandfather to get back at her. He was Dracula, and no one will do anything to him, she would be the only one to bear the brunt of it all. But for some reason, she refused to believe it was Intentional. Alex was also looking pale as he cultivated, making her wonder if he could hear her panicked whimpers at all.“Alex! He's no longer breathing, you have to do something now, before it's too late.” She shouted, tapping Alex.“You're distracting me, he won't die.” Alex said carelessly without opening his eyes, making Hera's heart sink to the bottom of her stomach.Tears formed in her eyes as she watched helplessly, unable to do anything. She was literally a sitting duck in this situation, and cold sweat covered the sur
“You will be burnt alive, you traitorous woman.” A vicious male voice which Alex found familiar shouted, making him grimace.Alex followed the sounds till he arrived at a massive dining room on the ground floor. He stood at the door to examine the situation, and he couldn't help but scoff. Grandpa Vanderbilts was sitting in an unnatural position with blood seeping out of his mouth. While Hera was on the floor clutching her chest. At that time, a man kicked Hera viciously, targeting her stomach. She grunted in pain and her eyes rolled back in her head.Alex felt a sharp pang in his heart and quickly rushed to Hera, punching the scum bag who just kicked her.“How dare you attack me in my house?” The man growled, trying to rise from the floor.Kaiser was being held hostage by guards and his mouth was tied with a rag to prevent him from rushing to Hera's aid. There was also a man sitting on a sofa, pretending not to see the scene before him.“How dare you interfere in our family's busines
Two masked people suddenly materialized from thin air right before Alex, blocking their way. It was Aridan and Tajana. Tajana quickly transformed into a fallen angel, unfurling his dark wings. Everyone in the room became cautious, as they Immediately recognized the black wings from when he dealt with the Winthrops. “I was not going to show myself, but you all have gone too far.” He announced in a glacial voice which seemed to come from the pit of hell, echoing over and over again in the mansion.“You even brought an evil cultivator to assist you. Nice one.” Kenzo intoned loudly, clapping his hands.At once, more assasins oozed in, quickly rushing forward to deal with the intruders.Aridan sat down against all expectations, and the assasins masking as guards quickly swept in to action, all fifty of them, releasing their energies and dark auras.A loud hollow laugh reverbrated and Tajana dissapeared. Corpses began to replace the gallant assasins holding various heaven ranked treasures
Alex quickly withdrew the suitcase which the man was hurriedly reaching for, making the man gasp and groan in frustration. “Give it to me already, you animal!” He roared, trying to attack Alex.Alex quickly let go of the suitcase as if he was frightened by the old doctor who was already acting like a demented wizard. The man quickly opened it and reached for a blue bottle, quickly pouring out two pills. Alex knocked it off his hands and stepped on it, crushing it beneath his feet.“My pills, my precious antidotes, my precious life savers, you monster!” The old man whose eyes were already turning red roared, trying to push away Alex's foot which was as steady as mount Tai.“Monster? I simply injected you with the precious miraculous revival drug which you wanted to give to your respected patient. You’re the legendary physician that works wonders, I only wanted you to experiment on yourself since I often do that too. If a quack like me is confident enough to taste my products, an almig
Alex quickly met the man's flaming palm, pushing him backwards.Alex felt stunned, the man was incredibly powerful, more than imagined, and he didn't fling him off as easily as he initially thought. It would have been very easy for him to beat him with his eyes closed, but his wound which he got from the vicious godess took a toll on his body. Besides, his attempt to heal the old man also weakened him further, reducing him to his lowest level.The rest were also stunned, Alex had flung the respected Tyler Vanderbilt who was close to the demi god realm, as easy as flinging away a piece of paper, filling them with immense fear. Tyler was the Vanderbilt family's hidden trump card, their genius that appeared once in a hundred years, alongside Kaiser's father. However, they didn't know how much of an internal struggle Alex was experiencing as a result of their little exchange.Kaiser's father was uninterested in the family businesses, going on to establish his own tech company. Although th
Alex carried the unconscious old man up, while Hera rushed to the tied up Kaiser. She immediately loosened his binds and hugged him, caressing his back in comfort. Kaiser pushed her away, making her shocked.“What's wrong baby? Did they make you scared?” She whispered, caressing his face.“I'm not your baby.” He muttered, slapping her hands away.Hera chuckled and dragged him along as they jumped over the numerous corpses on the floor, realizing that he was traumatized.“You will always be my baby, now and forever. I love you so much. In the future, even if I don't have a child of my own, I'm not bothered, because I have you, my favorite only baby.” She whispered, hugging his arm.“Your baby is over there, go pester him and leave me alone.” Kaiser said, motioning towards Alex.“Nope, he's too old to be my baby. Besides, we are quarreling right now. He's still angry. So, you're officially my only baby. Doesn't that make you happy?” She asked, pinching his cheek.Kaiser sighed, and let
Alex opened the door, only to see Hera standing before him in her nightdress. She was carrying an ancient wooden box with intricate designs carved on it.“My grandfather instructed me to bring this to your room and help you unlock the box. As for the remaining monetary payment, he will transfer it once you give him the account number. You can also receive the payment in stocks or property, just make your choice. That was exactly what he said.” She said and pushed him aside, making her way into the room. Alex rolled his eyes at her over familiarity with him. Well, it was her quarters though, he was in no position to lecture her about propriety or seeking permission before entering someone's space.He shut the door and turned around, going back to the room. Hera was bent over the bedside table, gingerly letting the box rest on the table. Her milky thighs were exposed briefly, and Alex quickly directed his gaze elsewhere.“According to grandpa, the foundational treasure can be unlocked w
