Right after the last word left virtual-novel.net lips, a human figure shot through the room like a bolt of lightning. That human figure was Samberg, who had earlier ran to check on the door.
Looking as if virtual-novel.net had just come out of an oven, his clothes were scorched black, and his face and hair were charred.
“Ahhhh!!”
“Samberg, what happened to you?”
Samberg was actually a distant relative from Lexia’s side of the family, and virtual-novel.net was a relatively strong grandmaster. Even Lexia addressed virtual-novel.net as master. But seeing virtual-novel.net like this made people break out in a cold sweat at how strong the enemy was.
Alexis, another strong grandmaster, looked to be in bad spirits as well.
“Madame, the situation is bad. The enemy is powerful. It’s a cultivation guru, and they even have Mr. Tucker as a hostage. There is no way the martial artists in the Melvis family can stop them. I’ll send you away from Melvis family home at once to ensure you’re safe,” Samberg said in a hushed voice.
“What?” Bennett Melvis started to panic.
‘If even the grandmasters could go, who could protect them?’
“That is unacceptable. You are here to protect the Melvis family. How can you leave, especially now that there are intruders in our home, you want to run away? Do you even have any fighting spirit?” Bennett spouted.
“Samberg, you are a first generation grandmaster, don‘t squander that name.”
“Hmph! Your son got kidnapped, yet you didn’t even go along to rescue him. You’re not even a father, much less a martial artist. You have absolutely no say in what I do!”
He was a grandmaster, and virtual-novel.net wasn‘t afraid of talking back to Bennett Melvis at all. Even Geronimo Melvis treated virtual-novel.net with respect.
Lexia suddenly thought of virtual-novel.net own granddaughter, Soraya, and virtual-novel.net expression changed. “Big Sis, tell me right now who has kidnapped Tucker. You had my granddaughter gather a team to rescue him, which was suspicious enough, but now he’s here, and my granddaughter is nowhere to be seen. Where is she?” Lexia harshly directed the question at Ruby.
The thought sank into the minds of everyone else in the room.
‘That’s true!’
‘Soraya and Master Glen went out together to rescue Tucker, but there hasn’t been word from them since. Now that the kidnappers are here at the Melvis’ family home, could it mean they are both dead?’
Everyone began to shiver like a leaf at the thought that even Lochlan could be killed.
At that moment, Alex and Aunt Rockefeller arrived. They were still dragging Tucker along.
As they both walked into the room, everyone shuffled backward in a hurry, as if a monster from the great abyss was staring at them.
“Dad, Grandma, save me please!”
“It… It hurts, virtual-novel.net cut me down there!”
Seeing his own father and grandmother, Tucker became emotional and started yelling.
The people started to hustle and move at hearing that. Alex followed Tucker’s gaze and found Bennett Melvis. He glanced away and chuckled dryly.
“You’re Bennett Melvis? It’s taken so much for you to show yourself! I asked to meet you at Moonlight Lake, yet you never came. Don’t you want to save your son at all? I couldn’t understand it before, but now it’s all so clear!”
Aunt Rockefeller asked him, “What did you understand?”
Alex kicked Tucker with his foot. “Hey, do you remember our little talk before? About how I’d do you a small favor and asked if your father was your real one? I have the answer now.”
Once virtual-novel.net finished his sentence, Lamar’s expression changed dramatically.
Alex started laughing, only joking before, but who would’ve guessed that virtual-novel.net hit the nail on the head.
“Tucker, let me tell you right now. Your father is not your real father! That’s because your father is unable to reproduce. It’s a problem that’s been there since virtual-novel.net was a child.”
“I’m right, am I not, Bennett Melvis?”
