Alex immediately took a stand. “Aren’t you talking nonsense? They are your parents! You have to think of a way to save them no matter how hard it gets!”
“Why are you hesitating in such critical times? Time equals life. You should’ve made it clear on the phone so that we could ’ve gotten to Mount Sota right away. Do you know delayed we are?”
After Alex finished, he noticed that the atmosphere seemed a little strange. They had bizarre gazes in their eyes.
“What’s wrong? Don’t you people want to go and save them?”
Luna smiled and looked at Claudia. “How’s he, Aunt Claudia? I told you Alex is an affectionate and righteous man. He’s a rare, nice guy, right?”
Alex froze. ‘What’s all this about?’
“Did you join forces and put on an act?”
“No! No!” Luna said, “It’s just as such, but it isn’t particularly urgent. My dad and the others are well prepared. They also possess superb weapons, so nothing will happen in a while… But, Aunt Claudia said that you’re unfaithful, fickle in love, and unreliable, so she wanted to test you.”
‘Test me?’
‘Don’ t you know that the risk of death is high when a dangerous move is attempted?’
‘The main person that I’m going to save is Jade Benmore… I’ll save your parents, by the way.’
Of course, Alex’s emotional quotient wasn’t that low. He would never say such words. Instead, he said, “Don’t be careless. It’s a critical period, and anything might happen. Even if he has a holy tool in his hand, there is no guarantee that he will be safe.”
Martiny asked, “Alex, were you implying something?”
Alex shook his head. “It’s all speculation for now. We better be there as soon as possible!”
Speaking of that, the few women who initially thought that it was a minor problem became nervous. They immediately decided to set off for Mount Sota.
Martiny asked, “Alex, your family is full of experts, especially your wife, Dorothy. I’m dumbfounded by her current cultivation level. Do you want to call a few more helpers?”
She knew that Dorothy had returned riding a flaming phoenix.
Alex said, “I’ve brought along my helpers.”
After a few rings, the call was connected. A woman, however, answered the phone.
“Hello. Who’s there?”
As soon as Alex heard the voice, he knew it was Mandy. He asked directly, “Are you Mandy Muller?”
Mandy replied in surprise, “Do you know me?”
“Not only do I know you, but I also recognize your bones.”
The words stunned the few women around him. They knew Mandy, and they used to contact her frequently…
However, Alex unexpectedly said that he recognized her bones. That was a little unbelievable… Could the two be hiding some dirty little secret between them?
“Ah! You are Alex Rockefeller?” Mandy finally recognized the voice on the other end of the phone. She instantly pipped up in excitement. “Where are you? I was so worried! How did it all go? Did everything go well? Are you done with the matter? Did your father get his proper treatment?”
The series of concerned questions caused Alex to be unable to maintain his sullen face.
