Phoenix’s curiosity was piqued. She tattled next to him, “Why was our father involved?”
Ignatius said, “You probably aren’t well aware when it comes to this matter because you were just a wimpy brat wearing diapers at the time of the incident. Back then, it was earth-shattering…”
“Alright. Stop showing off and say it quickly.” Alex patted Ignatius on the back of his head.
Knowing that he was Jade’s adopted son, Alex felt a sense of affinity for this man.
Phoenix glared at Alex. “He is my brother. Who allowed you to hit him?”
“Huh..?”
The seniority was really messed up. If one calculated starting from Jade, Alex was Jade’s disciple, and he and Ignatius were peers. However, when the poisoned Ignatius stayed at the Rockefellers’, he addressed Maya and Waltz as aunts. That said, wouldn’t Alex then equate to becoming his uncle?
If one were to calculate starting from the fact that he was the eldest son of the Rowan family, it would then be impossible to figure it out.
“I didn’t hit him. I just touched him gently. Jeez… A woman like you won’t be able to understand the communication between men.” said Alex. Then, he urged Ignatius to have a serious talk. The incident of Xienna being locked for dozens of millennia would’ve been a mind-boggling tale.
Ignatius said, “That happened more than ten millennia ago. Back then, my dad and several friends were being hunted by a few kings of the nether realm and entered the turbulent void. They then encountered the tide of void beasts… That scene was absolutely shocking.”
Dorothy asked, “You haven’t seen it before with your own eyes, haven’t you?”
Ignatius said, “I haven’t seen the Memory Crystal!”
Phoenix said, “Don’t interrupt. Go on.”
“Alright. Those void beasts were troublesome creatures. And that legion of beasts consisted of at least tens of millions of void beasts. The moment someone gets caught in it, he would die for sure. Anyways, they fled along any path they could stumble upon and bumped into the entrance of the time ruin. Oh, by the way, that time ruin has a pretty decent name, called Eternalis.”
“Something called the Time Blade lies within it.”
“That’s the killer blade of youth!”
“How would I know that? I’ve reincarnated several times! When that d*mn guy threw Xienna and me into the Pool of Reincarnation, he cast a curse on us so that we couldn’t be reincarnated. I was slashed by the God-slaying Sword more than a dozen times! D*mn it, it really hurt!”
A sudden whim struck Alex. “So, did you experience the pain of the Flesh Grinder too?”
Ignatius’s eyes were bloodshot. “Uncle Alex. I was so miserable! That d*mn bast*rd better not let me catch him! Otherwise, I will skin him for sure!”
It was then that they all managed to understand the context.
At that moment, Ignatius said, “Uncle Alex, I’d like to ask you a favor.”
Alex said, “Pray, tell.”
Ignatius said, “I’d like to ask for your kind help to take care of my mom and my sister… She is currently a remnant soul. Her messed up body probably won’t be able to last long.”
