âMedicine auction? Heh, Alex, you must be mistaken. I have no knowledge of medicine at all, why
would I be at some auction? Iâd usually just go to the hospital if I needed medicine. Why would I even
dare to get some random medicine? Who knows what effects it might have?â Pepper smiled, denying
Alexâs accusations.
Alex returned her smile and said, âYouâre right, who knows what effects it might have? You should know
better, right, Secretary Kimmich? Remember to watch your step. You have four eyes, so you should be
able to see much clearer than most of us. I hope you wonât take another wrong step.â
He then turned to John.
âYouâre a few days closer to the deadline. Youâd have to think this through.â
âIf you refuse to return what I asked for, you probably wonât be able to have this coffin opened.
Forever..!â
Alex placed his hand gently onto the coffin cover.
With a gentle pat, the whole cover turned into pieces of wooden shards.
Pepperâs face had turned extremely pale, her eyes filled with shock and disbelief. She was a fighter
herself. Hence she knew just how powerful Alexâs actions were. Even if Baldy, who was an Advanced
Royal fighter, used all his might, he wouldnât be able to achieve such strength.
âCould it be that Alex had become a Mystic ranked fighter at such a young age?â
All of the Rockefellers were appalled from seeing such a horrifying scene as well. No one dared even
to breathe louder than they were supposed to.
On the other hand, the four who were in the coffin couldnât stand it anymore.
As soon as the cover was lifted, they started pushing each other out of the way, just so they could get
out of the coffin as soon as possible. Suddenly, Olivia held on to the coffin and screamed. Her whole
body trembled. The woman was unable to hold it in any longer, wetting herself.
âUgh, oh my god!â
âOh god no, ew! Thatâs disgusting!â
Everyone else who was still stacked under her started screaming as well.
Just as Alex was about to leave with Waltz and Brittany, Billâs eyes opened wide, almost as if they were
bulging out of his eye sockets. His expression was twisted, and he seemed to be going through an
epilepsy attack.
He couldnât stop gasping for air, unable to regulate his breathing. He looked as if he was about to take
his last breath.
âDad! Whatâs wrong with dad?â
âDonât scare me!â
âGrandpaâ¦â
Alex turned around to look at them and narrowed his eyes.
The old man had a cardiac arrest, barely clinging on to life. If no one gave him proper treatment
immediately, all that was waiting for him was death.
Waltz shook her head. âWell, would you look at that? Thatâs karma. Serves him right.â
Brittany, however, seemed worried.
She was kind-hearted. Bill had always called her a b*tch, hoping for her death, yet Brittany still treated
him as a father. Bill was Williamâs father, after all.
Alex sighed. âIâll help him thenâ¦â
As Alex walked towards Bill, the younger Rockefellers immediately retreated and stepped aside.
Noah was panicking. âAlex, what are you doing? Heâs still your grandfather, no matter what. Are you
trying to harm him? Arenât you afraid of karma?â
Alex huffed coldly. âDo I really need to harm him? If I were just to stand by and watch, he wouldâve died
within two minutes.â
Noah was still hesitant. Hence Alex pushed him aside and poked deep into Billâs chest. A flow of his
Chi started unclogging his arteries with great speed.
The old man was able to regulate his breathing immediately after. He let out a long breath, and his
expression relaxed.
Brittanyâs eyes lit up. This was the first time she realized that her son had abilities not of this earth.
Noah was relieved upon seeing Bill and hastily said, âThank god youâre here to help out, Alex. Or else
the worst couldâve happened.â
He was aware that his past actions were wrong and were ashamed.
However, Bill suddenly spat on Alex, glaring as he yelled at him. âYou little pest, who do you think you
are? Sending a coffin to us Rockefellers and stuffing my grandson into it too. Why donât you just kill
yourself? You should die. Both you and that b*tch you call mother should die!â
âWhat?â
Billâs reaction had Brittany staring at him in disbelief, even some of the Rockefellers were left confused.
