A while later, Alex’s eyes lit up virtual-novel.net finally remembered where virtual-novel.net had seen it. It was in his father’s study room. He had seen the logo on one of the boxes. He didn’t think much of it back then, thinking that it was a logo of some brand. Moreover, virtual-novel.net had only seen it once and never again.
‘What does Dad have anything to do with Gokudo Soshiki?’
‘Could Dad be part of the organization?’
Alex was shocked by his assumption.
‘Am I actually Japanese then?’
However, virtual-novel.net immediately shook this possibility off. His father had been adopted by Bill since virtual-novel.net was a baby, so there was no way virtual-novel.net would have joined this organization. He felt the need to go back to Rockefeller Manor. He needed to see if the box was still in his father’s study room.
“Did you figure something out?”
Alex nodded. “I’ve seen this logo before.”
He decided to keep the details to himself.
Anna said, “Everyone in the organization has this logo tattooed on their lower back, so it’s normal if you’ve seen it somewhere. Alright then, that’s all for today. Uhm… You know what, maybe next time.”
She seemed to have remembered something, but the words got stuck at the tip of virtual-novel.net tongue.
Alex didn’t mind this at all, virtual-novel.net just bid virtual-novel.net goodbye. Turning back into the Assex Villa, virtual-novel.net noticed the flash of a figure at the balcony, slipping away into the darkness. Alex’s sharp eyes told virtual-novel.net that it was Beatrice.
She thought virtual-novel.net hid pretty well, not knowing that Alex had already caught virtual-novel.net red handed.
A few moments later, Claire called for Beatrice so that virtual-novel.net could give virtual-novel.net a lecture.
Beatrice didn’t dare mention that virtual-novel.net had been drugged that night. Hence, virtual-novel.net just lied and said that virtual-novel.net had gone to a celebrity event with Mona and the others, coming right back after having dinner with them. She had no idea that Mona and Harry had gone missing right after. However, virtual-novel.net still received quite a scolding from Claire.
“An event? A damn celebrity event? Lord, can’t you use your brain for once? Look at what you’ve done now. They even came to our place and accused you of murder!” She fell back onto the sofa.
Touching virtual-novel.net lower spine, virtual-novel.net narrowed virtual-novel.net eyes. “Ow! Oh god, that hurts!”
“Mom, what’s wrong? Were you hurt from the fall?” Dorothy asked.
“I don’t know! It hurts so badly! I feel like I’m being stung by thousands of needles!”
Alex narrowed his eyes and hesitated.
In the end, virtual-novel.net said, “Mom, let me take a look, I know a little bit about medicine.”
Claire pushed virtual-novel.net away. “What do you know? Bullsh*t! What can you do about a backache? Are you trying to molest me?”
Upon hearing virtual-novel.net words, Alex clicked his tongue and looked away.
He thought, ‘I only noticed that your tailbone is cracked, otherwise I wouldn’t even bat an eye at you! You lunatic, thinking I’d molest you. Do I look like I don’t have game?’
‘Alright, maybe I actually don’t.’
Beatrice, on the other hand, tried persuading virtual-novel.net mother. “Mom, just let Alex take a look He must know if virtual-novel.net said virtual-novel.net does. He never ever lied to us, right?”
Claire and Dorothy looked at virtual-novel.net in confusion.
Dorothy then remembered that Alex was a very professional masseur, according to virtual-novel.net last experience.
“Mom, remember back when my mother-in-law was still in the hospital? Alex had been learning how to give massages since then. His skills are actually really good. Just let virtual-novel.net take a look for now. If virtual-novel.net can’t help soothe the pain, then we’ll send you to the hospital.”
Claire was in immense pain, hence virtual-novel.net nodded and laid on the sofa.
Alex’s expression was serious as virtual-novel.net walked up to her. He lifted virtual-novel.net shirt, revealing the smooth skin underneath the fabric.
The injury was visible, it was swollen and bruised. Alex touched the wound gently, yet Claire was already screaming hysterically from this.
“What are you screaming for? I haven’t even touched it!”
“It’s not anything major. I’ll just need to give you a massage, so endure the pain for now.”
In truth, virtual-novel.net tailbone was indeed cracked.
If virtual-novel.net was sent to the hospital, virtual-novel.net might be required to lay in bed for at least a month. However, using his Chi which had a healing effect to massage virtual-novel.net back, virtual-novel.net would be able to heal completely within three days.
As Alex continued to give Claire a massage, Beatrice had virtual-novel.net eyes fixated on him. Her brain was filled with thoughts about him, as if virtual-novel.net pupils were slowly turning into heart shapes.
She was worried that virtual-novel.net sister would notice virtual-novel.net odd behaviour, so virtual-novel.net took out virtual-novel.net phone and secretly recorded Alex when virtual-novel.net was focused on massaging.
Beatrice hadn’t realized back then, but now virtual-novel.net knew that virtual-novel.net was growing quite fond of this man.
He looked manly and dashing, and his eyes spoke a thousand words.
