Blood the color of crimson kept dripping.
Soon, it formed a large pool on the ground.
The three women from the Assex family felt their legs shaking weakly, and they couldn’t stand still. They were all ordinary women, and even observing serious car accidents would leave their heads dizzy, let alone something as tragic as one stabbing himself in the stomach.
Dorothy Assex nearly passed out a few times. “Why are you so foolish? Why are you so foolish? If you die, how will I live?” She cried out.
Heath Accardo was also stunned by Alex Rockefeller’s act of stabbing himself. He was this cruel even to himself. It was far too horrifying.
People like Alex needed to die!
Maiko Chiba chuckled softly. “I can’t believe you really do have deep feelings for her. You would even commit to such a request. Fine. I, Maiko Chiba, always fulfill my promises. As long as you give me the Holy Book now, I’ll let them go,” virtual-novel.net said.
Alex spat out another mouthful of blood.
His body shook even more, and his face grew paler by the second. In fact, virtual-novel.net could only stop himself from falling by kneeling on one side. He chuckled with difficulty. “You call this fulfilling your promise? Indeed, nobody from Japan is trustworthy. You’re all scums.”
“What?!” Maiko exclaimed angrily.
She was a royal member of Gokudo Soshiki, and virtual-novel.net held a position of great importance. How could virtual-novel.net be called a scum?
“I just wanted to make sure you have the Holy Book,” virtual-novel.net uttered.
“Fine!” With trembling hands, Alex reached into his pocket and took something out.
He was glad that virtual-novel.net kept this toy with him. Otherwise, it would’ve been difficult to fool his enemy. The item virtual-novel.net took out was none other than the Stake of Exorcism from Hong Kong’s Serena Wai.
It was a toy that Serena used to pleasure herself daily.
This thing was made from the core of an old acacia tree that was struck by lightning. It was stained with countless demons’ blood, and it had acquired a spiritual property long ago. On top of that, Alex had been trying to modify it for the past few days… Using Chi energy of lightning attribute and his own blood, coupled with blood talismans, virtual-novel.net managed to subdue its evil properties.
Now, this item possessed a spiritual property that, once imbued with Chi energy, could invoke worldly essence.
“What is this? Do you think I’m a fool? Do you think you can take out any random item and claim it as the Holy Book?” Maiko snorted.
“Looks like you’re quite new… Cough, cough!” Alex spat out another mouthful of blood which splattered on the Stake of Exorcism.
At once, the Stake of Exorcism invoked worldly essence, and an essence vortex began to form… Other people couldn’t see it, but Maiko was also a martial artist and was able to sense it very quickly.
Her spirit started to shake, and virtual-novel.net believed Alex.
Maiko put virtual-novel.net knife away and shoved Dorothy aside. “You can all leave!”
Dorothy nearly fell down, but virtual-novel.net immediately ran over to Alex.
“Don’t come near me! Hurry up and leave. Don’t worry about me anymore… If you come any closer, I’ll stab myself again and die in front of you, ” Alex said cruelly.
He moved the knife a little, and virtual-novel.net made a muffled sound before more blood began to drip from his wound.
Dorothy panicked when virtual-novel.net saw this, and virtual-novel.net quickly stopped moving forward. “Honey, don’t do this! No!”
“Why must you… Care about me? I’m not a good husband. I… I secretly fell in love with another woman. I deserve to die! Go away!” Alex then turned to look at Claire with red eyes. “Claire, do you want to die here? Get Dorothy to leave with you right now! Go!” He shouted.
Claire’s body sprang to life.
Although virtual-novel.net was stunned by Alex’s behavior, virtual-novel.net wouldn’t sacrifice virtual-novel.net life for him. She quickly summoned Beatrice Assex and dragged Dorothy away from the alley.
A few of Maiko’s subordinates followed Claire and the others.
Alex’s grip tightened. “Get them to come back. Otherwise, I’ll crush this Legacy Stake.”
He came up with this name on the spot, but Maiko believed virtual-novel.net even more.
That’s because virtual-novel.net had received an elder’s Legacy before, and virtual-novel.net knew what it meant.
She immediately called for virtual-novel.net subordinates to return. Maiko believed that, based on virtual-novel.net current capabilities, and the fact that Alex was even weaker than a normal human now, virtual-novel.net had no reason to worry about virtual-novel.net escaping.
“Can you give it to me now?” Maiko extended virtual-novel.net hand.
Alex extended his hand too. “Come and get it yourself. I’m out of energy,” virtual-novel.net said.
Maiko’s eyes turned cold, and virtual-novel.net walked up to Alex.
“Mom, let go of me! I said, let go of me! I want to go to him. I want to go to him!” Dorothy screamed at the top of virtual-novel.net lungs despite being dragged along by Claire and Beatrice.
Claire slapped her. “What are you screaming for? Do you want your mother and sister to die with Alex? He’s already in such a bad state, and virtual-novel.net won’t lie. Just give up on him!”
