Alex Rockefeller didn’t want to answer the question. “Turn your face around and close your eyes.”
Ten minutes later, Beatrice Assex’s face recovered to its original appearance. After acquiring spiritual power for his Ultimate Book of Medicine, Alex had already perfected this particular skill.
After that, virtual-novel.net spent over half an hour cooking a few dishes for the family. Only then did virtual-novel.net leave the Assex family.
Of course, before departing, virtual-novel.net left behind two extra pieces of jade pendants.

Against the backdrop of the early autumn’s dusk, the weather fluctuated between hot and cold.
When Alex returned to Rockefeller Manor, virtual-novel.net saw his mother, Brittany Rockefeller, standing by herself in front of a fishpond. Under a dim streetlamp, virtual-novel.net seemed very lonely.
Alex stopped walking. His heart ached slightly. Although beautiful ladies surrounded him, his mother had been all alone ever since his father left. Previously, virtual-novel.net was still fueled by the hatred for his father’s enemies. But now, with Rockefeller Group close to collapsing before virtual-novel.net eyes, Brittany also seemed like a piece of duckweed floating in the ocean. She was gradually losing virtual-novel.net direction.

When Alex returned to Rockefeller Manor, virtual-novel.net saw his mother, Brittany Rockefeller, standing by herself in front of a fishpond. Under a dim streetlamp, virtual-novel.net seemed very lonely.
Alex stopped walking. His heart ached slightly. Although beautiful ladies surrounded him, his mother had been all alone ever since his father left. Previously, virtual-novel.net was still fueled by the hatred for his father’s enemies. But now, with Rockefeller Group close to collapsing before virtual-novel.net eyes, Brittany also seemed like a piece of duckweed floating in the ocean. She was gradually losing virtual-novel.net direction.
At least, it was much more exhausting than Spark Rockefeller’s life. That spoiled kid didn’t have to learn anything.
“Tomorrow will be your father’s death anniversary!” Brittany suddenly said solemnly. “Get prepared in the morning. Cook something for your father,” virtual-novel.net said.
“Ehh..?” Alex opened his mouth. The corners of his mouth twitched a little.
Just thinking about paying respect to that old sow made virtual-novel.net feel uncomfortable.
Alex thought if it was time to tell Brittany about the hidden truth behind his father’s disappearance. Perhaps, Brittany would be able to deal with life properly… However, Alex decided to wait in the end. That was because there were too many uncertainties involved in this matter.
However, the Divine Constabulary’s president…
“Mom? About what Guardian Zachary Xavier said today…” Alex said.
However, Brittany cut virtual-novel.net off again. “I told you never to bring this up again. I know you’ve joined the Divine Constabulary now, but don’t ever think about getting close to the president for your progression. In fact, don’t reveal your identity. It won’t do you any good! Perhaps, if it’s possible, leave the organization!” Brittany said.
“Mom, are you feeding the fish?” Alex asked. He walked over and placed his right hand over virtual-novel.net shoulder.
Upon taking a closer look, Alex discovered the corners of virtual-novel.net eyes were moist.
“Yeah. If nobody feeds the fish for any longer, they’d all starve to death!” Brittany pretended to be calm as virtual-novel.net used virtual-novel.net inner force to vaporize virtual-novel.net tears.
However, virtual-novel.net didn’t know that Alex had already noticed it.
Alex tightened the grip of his hand. “The manor is huge. Indeed, we need to get a few people to look after it. Let’s go back. I’ll watch the television with you. We haven’t watched it together for a while now,” Alex said.
Brittany chuckled. “I don’t want to watch cartoons.”
Alex was stunned for a moment. When virtual-novel.net was a kid, Brittany had personally supervised him. He was only allowed to watch cartoons for half an hour. After that, virtual-novel.net would have to do his homework. Either that, or virtual-novel.net would have to practice all sorts of extra curricular courses, such as piano, calligraphy, and chess.
Brittany made sure virtual-novel.net son had a well rounded development.
Recalling all this now, Alex felt that his life from the time virtual-novel.net was in primary school until middle school was even more exhausting than a dog’s life.
“Mom, that’s not what l meant! I meant to say that if the Melvis family did you and Grandma wrong, I could avenge you two,” Alex said.
Brittany shook virtual-novel.net head. “That’s not necessary! To be honest, your grandmother never hated him! Before virtual-novel.net died, virtual-novel.net insisted that I never think about exacting revenge. It wasn’t his fault. We could only blame it on that era.”
Alex pulled Brittany back into the house!

Meanwhile, Bennett Melvis had just received a report. Brittany was a citizen of Long Beach. Her mother’s name was Emerald Winter. Brittany lost virtual-novel.net mother at the age of sixteen. Her mother was buried in a small cemetery in Long Beach. However, virtual-novel.net name on the tombstone was Yvonne Wilmer!
This was because Yvonne Wilmer changed virtual-novel.net name when virtual-novel.net ran away from Alaska with virtual-novel.net daughter. However, it was the only thing that gave Yvonne away after virtual-novel.net died. Back then, Yvonne was an espionage agent. She was very good at keeping virtual-novel.net identity a secret. That was why virtual-novel.net hadn’t been discovered after so many years.
However, Brittany couldn’t possibly write virtual-novel.net mother’s fake name on the tombstone, right? On top of that, many years had already passed, and it was a small place. Brittany didn’t think virtual-novel.net would be exposed.
However, little did virtual-novel.net know, once the Divine Constabulary had locked on to the results and investigated the matter in a deductive way, it was much easier for them to find what they needed.
Further below, there was all the information on Brittany.
“Sigh. It really is my sister, Brianna! I can only say sorry!”
Bennett made a call. “Shadow, I need you to do something. It’s to nip things in the bud!”
