With both Claire and Beatrice being as unhelpful as they could, it was just a disaster to Dorothy.
Claire pointed to Alex. âGo make us some dinner, we havenât cooked anything yet!â
Dorothy said, âItâs quite late already, you donât have to cook. Letâs just eat out, Iâll treat all of you to
hotpot.â
Suddenly, Claire turned to Alex and said, âYou may leave now, we donât treat outsiders to dinner.â
Beatrice added. âExactly, weâre no charity.â
Dorothy was losing her mind. âAlex came all the way here to help us out, spending 500 thousand just
because of you. How could you still say that with a straight face? Have you no shame?â
Just as Dorothy was about to speak up, Alex said, âThatâs alright, I have other things to tend to anyway.
Iâll be off now. Dorothy⦠donât push yourself too hard. If you donât have enough money, Iâll come up
with something.â
Claire huffed. âYouâll come up with something? And what would that be? Another fake check? All you
will ever be is a loser. Get lost! Iâm annoyed just from seeing your face.â
Alex thought. âThis woman is literally unreasonable.â
He didnât want to waste any more energy arguing with them. Alex hopped into his car and drove off
immediately.
Time flew by as quickly as it usually would.
In a flash, two days had passed.
The title Stone Gambling Prince had only trended on California social media for one night. Everyone
went on with their normal lives the next day and stopped talking about him. Only the stone gambling
community would mention the prince once in a while, just to show adoration towards him.
For the past two days, Alex had not left his house as well. He had been researching on the alchemy
stove with a missing legâ¦
After deep cleansing the stove, he realized that the stove had a carving of an ancient sigil.
The Ultimate Book of Medicine had introduced sigils as well.
Especially the Witch Doctor Seriesâmost of their methods used sigils to utilize elements of the earth to
heal the patient.
Waltz was eating a bucket of ice cream in the villaâs basement. She was wearing her usual red dress
outfit, sitting on a stool elegantly with her legs slightly tucked under.
As she continued to eat the ice cream, she asked Alex, âBrother, youâve been looking at that shabby
stove for two days. Did you manage to get anything out of it?â
âDonât rush me, I donât work well under pressure.â Alex was poking his head into the stove. His voice
echoed out of the stove.
Waltz stretched her legs out and adjusted her sitting position. âDo you still want ice cream? Iâm going to
finish it.â
âJust finish it yourself⦠or you could finish it outside. Donât disturb me.â
âAre you stone-hearted? I was worried that youâd be bored, thatâs why Iâm here to keep you company.â
Waltz then kicked Alex on his behind.
Alex was not prepared for her sudden attack. His head collided with the base of the stove with a loud
bang echoing throughout the basement.
Alex was extremely frustrated and annoyed. Standing up, he realized that he wasnât able to take the
stove off of his head. The stove was pitch black on the inside, he couldnât see anything at all.
âOh, f*ckâ¦â Waltz jumped out of her stool and was ready to make a run for it.
Suddenly, Alex said, âI finally figured it out.â
