‘Who is that man?’
‘Why is virtual-novel.net with Cheryl at this hour?’
‘Is virtual-novel.net really virtual-novel.net boyfriend?’
Alex didn’t quite believe this. He knew who Cheryl was, and virtual-novel.net feelings towards virtual-novel.net were indeed genuine. They just couldn’t get past the last stage due to many reasons, but they knew that they just had to wait for the right time.
‘Could something have happened to her?’ Thinking about this, Alex started panicking.
He had seen quite a few articles saying that a man had killed his own wife and used virtual-novel.net identity to keep posting online to create an illusion as if they were still alive.
However, Cheryl had received the legacy of the Immortal Doctor and had Guilherme Extraordinaire at virtual-novel.net side. Moreover, virtual-novel.net had the Galactic Protection Amulet virtual-novel.net gave virtual-novel.net as well.
This whole while, Alex never noticed the feeling of the amulet shattering. If virtual-novel.net did, virtual-novel.net would’ve felt as if his heart had dropped.
‘It couldn’t have been Colton’s men, right?’
Alex shook the thought off as soon as it came up.
If it really were Colton’s men, they would have never spoken to virtual-novel.net with that attitude.
“Sword of the Universe!”
Alex decided to stop guessing and called out his sword. Hopping on to it, be rushed towards Cheryl’s home. He didn’t enter but hovered in the air, releasing his divine sense instead, scanning the entire house…
He noticed that James was still sleeping whereas Granny Coney had woken up. She had just gotten out of bed and was brushing virtual-novel.net teeth…
But there was no sign of Cheryl.
‘Where would virtual-novel.net have gone?’
‘Oh right! I could try to sense the amulet!’
Alex suddenly remembered that the amulet contained some of his blood and a ray of spiritual conscience. Thus, virtual-novel.net would be able to use the Paper Doll Curse of the Three Realms to locate her.
He then took out a paper doll and drew a talisman in the air, sealing a spiritual talisman onto it.
The next second, the paper doll caught on flames on its own and turned into a spiritual phoenix, flying towards a certain direction… Alex used his Imperial Sword Flight and followed immediately.
At the time, Granny Coney had just finished brushing virtual-novel.net teeth and replacing virtual-novel.net dentures back into virtual-novel.net mouth. She lifted virtual-novel.net head to look outside the window and felt shocked.
‘What was that?’
‘A person? Or was it a ghost?’
She rubbed virtual-novel.net eyes gently and took another look, yet the figure seemed to have vanished.

As the sun rose, warm rays of sunlight shone on the white fluffy clouds. A sword flew with great speed as ifi t was trying to cut the sky in half. In just a few moments, Alex reached Long Beach.
When virtual-novel.net realized that this was their destination, Alex knew that Cheryl was at the hospital that virtual-novel.net got her, Mercy Cancer Hospital.
Following the phoenix, Alex finally found Cheryl. She was currently wearing a white doctor’s robe, standing in front of a rack of experiment equipment, seemingly busy. Guilherme, the previous Immortal Doctor, was there as well.
‘How is this sleeping?’
‘What the f*ck, who is that man who picked up the call?’
‘He made me panic for nothing. I really thought I had been cheated on!’
Alex stood on the flying sword and waved his hand gently, turning the small, light phoenix into smoke as it vanished in thin air.
He watched virtual-novel.net silently from afar. She seemed so focused on work, running experiments even at this hour. It was obvious that virtual-novel.net was pulling an all-nighter. Alex even noticed that virtual-novel.net seemed skinnier than before, virtual-novel.net chin appearing even pointier now. The sight of virtual-novel.net broke his heart.
Just then, Guilherme noticed Alex. He lifted his head to see Alex floating in the air outside. Overjoyed, virtual-novel.net immediately informed Cheryl.
“What?” Cheryl gasped as virtual-novel.net looked towards the direction Guilherme pointed and met eyes with Alex.
