Inside, Alex thought, ‘Isn’t this because I’m creating an opportunity for Darven?’
Just at this moment, a shout came from outside. “Ahh! Not good, Darven has escaped!”
Alex’s heart thumped.
Anna was about to run out, but Alex grabbed her. “You haven’t fastened your belt yet.”
By the time virtual-novel.net fastened virtual-novel.net belt and gave chase, Darven was long gone. There weren’t many people left behind in the Divine Constabulary, and most of them lay unconscious on the ground. Those who were still conscious were as weak as a kitten.
‘He’s fairly capable!’ Alex was slightly surprised.
Darven was so old. He didn’t expect the older man to be this vigorous. It clearly displayed a strength of a Shaman that virtual-novel.net couldn’t underestimate, and those who weren’t in that field would only meet their end if they met a Shaman.
“Where is he? Where has virtual-novel.net gone?” Anna asked.
“He went in the direction of the mountain at the back,” one of them said.
Anna gave chase immediately and quickly reached the mountain at the back.
She suddenly stopped running, then looked back at Alex. “Enough, we’ll give chase up until here. The mountains there are steep, and if the older man sees me chasing him, I’m afraid that virtual-novel.net might fall to his death.”
She wasn’t stupid. She could tell that Alex was the one who had let Darven go.
Alex touched his nose. “The mountains are indeed quite steep.”
“Did you manage to get your answers? Your father’s… Whereabout?” Anna said.
Alex looked into the distance. “The mystery around virtual-novel.net just keeps getting harder to unravel.”
Beep beep…
Just then, Alex’s phone rang.
He pulled it out to look at the caller ID and found that it was Daya.
Anna also saw virtual-novel.net name, and something flashed in virtual-novel.net eyes. “I won’t be the third wheel between you and Daya’s lovey-dovey conversation,” virtual-novel.net said. “I’ll go back first! Oh right, those people from the Divine Constabulary will be fine, right?”
“Yeah, just splash some water on them,” Alex said.
Anna waved, then turned around and left.
Alex swiped the screen and accepted the call.
“Daya!”
“Alex, do you have some time now? The Lush Scar Removal Cream commercial has been done. Do you want to come over and have a look?”
Alex smiled. “It’s a commercial that you featured in. Of course, it’ll be good. You can just send it over to my mom.”
Daya hesitated, then said, “Well, my mom has come to California, and virtual-novel.net said… She wanted to treat you to a meal. The big favor that you did in helping out my family last time, we still haven’t properly thanked you yet.”
Alex frowned, and his head felt big for a moment.
Carey had posed a difficult question to virtual-novel.net the last time, asking virtual-novel.net when virtual-novel.net would be marrying virtual-novel.net daughter, but virtual-novel.net really couldn’t find a way to agree to it. This time, virtual-novel.net had chased virtual-novel.net all the way to California; virtual-novel.net purpose was obvious. It was probably to help virtual-novel.net daughter pursue the man who would be virtual-novel.net son-in-law.
“If it’s inconvenient, it’s fine too. I’ll just tell my mother ‘no’ and say you’re busy.” Daya said.
“There’s no need. I’m free!” Alex said immediately.
Although Daya forced herself on virtual-novel.net before, a man was born to carry the responsibilities in this regard, and not to mention, virtual-novel.net was moved.
He couldn’t be a man who was so heartless after virtual-novel.net was done removing obstacles to meet his own purpose, after all. It so happened that it was also time for lunch.
Very soon, virtual-novel.net arrived at the agreed location. It also happened to be one of the restaurants owned by Thousand Miles Conglomerate, South Cali Dining, and they had reserved the Jade Room No. 3.
When Alex pushed open the door to walk in, virtual-novel.net didn’t notice that a woman had just walked out from the opposite private room. It wasn’t anyone else but his ex-mother-in-law, Claire Assex.
When Claire saw Alex entering the private room, virtual-novel.net was immediately surprised. Then, virtual-novel.net saw Daya inside, who greeted Alex with a bright smile. She even took his hand affectionately.
In addition, Carey had also stood up with a smile upon virtual-novel.net face and said, “Alright, son-in-law, come on. Hurry and sit! Oh, one day apart feels like three seasons have passed! I’ve just watched Daya’s commercial video. Your Lush Cosmetics will definitely get even more popular!”
Then, the door was closed.
Claire stood outside, wondering why virtual-novel.net felt so uncomfortable!
