After a short pause, Shawn continued, “Looks like it’s going to be quite hard to capture that cripple, though… We have to think of another way.”
Shawn completely ignored Alex’s words. He simply couldn’t bring himself to obey a cripple’s demands, especially with his current status.
If this incident spread to the public, everyone would most definitely laugh at him.
***
The night went by fairly quickly as Frostine stayed in Alex’s room the whole while. Since the two were quite powerful, staying up a few nights straight wouldn’t be a problem for them.
Alex asked her a truckload of questions, finally understanding some of Frostine’s past.
Before meeting William, her Nine Tails bloodline wasn’t activated yet, nor was she nearly as powerful as she was now. She was actually very frail back then.
When William met her, she was being bullied by some of the rich guys within Starborn City. She was nearly gang raped as well, but it was fortunate that William managed to save her in time. Hence, this was the main reason why she destroyed several families within the city, including her fiancé’s.
That was because her fiance was within the group at the time. It was simply ridiculous that her own fiance teamed up with other men just to humiliate his future wife.
‘That man is no better than those monsters.’
The clock continued ticking as afternoon arrived in the blink of an eye. The head of the Yggdrasill family didn’t show up at all, not even Khloe.
Frostine placed her hand on Alex’s shoulder and squeezed it gently. “Brother, I don’t think Shawn Yggdrasill is coming. Hmph! Such a coward, that old fart.”
“I think he just doesn’t care,” Alex said. “I’ll go to him then.”
“Hmph!” Frostine huffed coldly. “He doesn’t bear that privilege to have you go over and see him personally. Just you wait. I’ll go tie him up and bring him to you!”
Alex stared at her and nodded. “Sorry for the trouble then, sister.”
Frostine froze. Although she had been voluntarily flirting with Alex, him touching her stomach was a rather different case. She felt… Quite smug about it.
She blinked a few times. “Brother, do I need to take off my clothes?”
“Not for now,” Alex replied. He then extracted some of his Chi from his golden core and used it on her stomach.
In that instant, Frostine was surprised. “Brother…” she whispered.
Alex interrupted her. “Focus and stay calm. Your core is damaged, so I’m giving you a hand. You’ll be able to capture those people more easily then.”
Frostine was nervous yet appalled. She had never told anyone that her core was damaged. ‘He could tell just by looking at me? And he can cure it?’
Five minutes later, Frostine tried sensing her core and jumped with joy. She then kissed Alex on the corner of his lips and said, “Brother, watch me stand up for you!”
