Alex was appalled.
‘That’s way too expensive, isn’t that?’
‘Ugh… If I’d known, I wouldn’t have given it to Khloe.’
Staring at the tower, Alex felt uninterested. Blood energy pills were among the lowest-ranked pills. They didn’t even have enough carats. However, ordinary people could consume blood energy pills without having trained in cultivation. Hence, that pill became a necessity for anyone who wanted to begin cultivating.

At the time, Shawn and Khloe had arrived at Alex’s place.
Rushing into the manor, both wore black suits and masked themselves. To their demise, they couldn’t find Alex. There wasn’t even anyone in there.
“Could they have received news and ran away?” Shawn was enraged. He swore to obtain the treasure Alex held.
If virtual-novel.net ran away, it meant they’d lose an extremely rare opportunity.
“That’s impossible! Where could virtual-novel.net have run to?” Khloe asked.
Although virtual-novel.net really didn’t want such a thing, virtual-novel.net was still a businesswoman. Moreover, virtual-novel.net face was scarred, hence virtual-novel.net had a twisted mind. Business was the center of virtual-novel.net life. Everything else wasn’t particularly important Besides that, Alex was just a nobody to her. She couldn’t care less about him.
‘Money is the root of all evil, so goes the saying,’ virtual-novel.net thought. ‘This treasure would only bring disaster to virtual-novel.net if virtual-novel.net kept it. So, it’s best you hand it to us, the Yggdrasill’s, instead. We’ll be helping virtual-novel.net remove any misfortune too.’
“Their possessions are still here!”
“That’s Dory’s stuff. Since it’s left here, they’d definitely be coming back for it,” Khloe said. “Let’s wait here, grandpa. They’ll be back soon.”

Alex held onto his daughter as they went sightseeing around the business district with Dory. Since it was getting late, Bubbles had been yawning several times.
Seeing this, Alex suggested that they’d head back and do sightseeing some other time.
Suddenly, virtual-novel.net felt a strange feeling in his heart, as if it was a calling from his bloodline.
Ring!!!
His heart jumped slightly.
‘What was that?’
‘This feels so familiar!’
‘It’s… It’s Dad!’
He actually felt his father’s Chi in this place. The discovery had completely overwhelmed him. He may have been going from place to place to achieve different goals, but his main goal was still to find his missing father. He really didn’t expect to be able to feel virtual-novel.net here before virtual-novel.net even entered the teleportation circle.
He turned and scanned his surroundings, only to realize that the sensation was coming from an accessory store.
‘Could Dad be in there?’
“Dory, quick! Push me into that store!” Alex said, panicked, his voice quivering.
Dory nodded and immediately brought virtual-novel.net inside. However, virtual-novel.net wasn’t paying much attention and accidentally bumped the wheelchair into a woman.
“Huh, isn’t that one of the Yggdrasills’ maids? Weren’t you supposed to serve your little masked lady? Why are you pushing this man? Aww, it’s a cripple with no legs! And great, virtual-novel.net has a child too… Good for you. You’re someone’s stepmom now. You sure have a unique taste.”
