At Rockefeller Manor in California…
Roar!
A violent roar could be heard. A roar that encapsulated endless pain and hostility, it was as loud as a beast, to the point the entire house trembled. A faint clashing of iron chains could even be heard.
“The attack occurs again!”
“What should we do? It gets more severe each time. Even the Immortal Locking Bed won’t be able to suppress him any longer.”
“Is there another way?”
Anxiety filled the faces of the family of Rockefeller’s. Brittany Rockefeller even burst into tears, and her vision went dark. She almost fainted.
The one who let out those roars was none other than Alex’s father, her husband, William Rockefeller.
Ever since his return, his mind had been befuddled, and the poison in his body would flare up every once in a while. It used to flare up once every few days but had reached the level of daily attacks. Sometimes, the attacks even occurred several times a day. Every time the attack occurred, he would roar and become extremely aggressive. Not only would he attack others, but he would also harm himself.
Out of desperation, Jade Benmore found a kind of strange ancient object called the “Immortal Locking Bed” to lock William down forcibly.
“Stop looking, mom! Let me accompany you for a walk outside!” A woman who looked like she came out of a painting supported Brittany and tried to pull her away.
The woman was Waltz Fleur, Brittany’s goddaughter. In fact, deep down, everyone clearly knew that she was the Rockefeller family’s daughter-in-law.
Brittany shook her head. “It’s alright. I… Can still bear it. I’ll accompany him here. I’ll share all his pain.”
When Waltz saw Brittany’s determination, she knew that there was no way she could pull her away.
Waltz had long since become a golden core cultivator, whereas Azure was also a quasi-grandmaster. If Azure could reach quasi-grandmaster status before meeting Alex, he would laugh till he was awoken from his dream. This was an achievement countless people would never attain in their lives, and he could only sigh silently after looking at the women in the Rockefeller family.
“Waltz, Clay Ember is back!” Azure whispered to Waltz.
“Huh? Really?” Waltz’s face that had been gloomy for many days, revealed a rare hint of joy.
She, Azure, and Clay were raised by Lex Gunther since childhood, so they shared a good relationship. Although they were not biological siblings, the bond between them surpassed that.
But soon, Waltz noticed Azure’s awful look, and her heart skipped a beat. Hence, she asked, “What’s wrong? Did something happen?”
Azure answered, “The current Clay Ember is very different from before. You… Will know once you see him.”
Waltz knitted her curvy brows.
