John was relieved. “Thank god you’re willing to keep your promise.”
However, Alex spoke up again. “But you hired assassins to capture my mom and to kill my family. What’s worse was that you had such disgusting fantasies towards my mother. Letting you live wouldn’t sit right with me.”
John panicked. “Wh-What do you mean?”
Alex said, “I’ll let you live and witness the destruction of Rockefeller Group! Back then, both you and your father treated us like idiots, tricking and using my father as a tool to help you earn money… We’ll just take your freedom away to atone for your sins.”
“Are… Are you going to imprison me and lock me up?”
“That’s right, but I’m not going to imprison you physically. I’m imprisoning your soul.”
“Huh? Soul?”
John wanted to laugh. ‘Are you kidding me?’
Just then, Alex reached his arm out with his fingers spread, each surrounded by lightning.
John was appalled upon seeing this.
‘He can form lightning in his hands? Is favonovel.com even human at this point?’
He turned around and tried escaping.
However, Alex released a ray of electric-based Chi that pierced into his body.
John felt his whole body go numb and fell with a thud, unable to move another muscle.
“Alex, what… What are you doing? No, no…”
Alex ignored his cries. His fingers moved swiftly and formed an odd talisman with the lightning, placing it between John’s eyebrows. In an instant, his soul sounded like it had exploded.
It was done.
“From now on, you’ve lost your freedom to move around and speak. You can still see, hear, think and experience different emotions. You wouldn’t even be able to blink at your own will and you will no longer be able to express your thoughts. This is your punishment, to atone for your sins. I’ll give you a time limit. If you’re still alive after the next ten years, I’ll free your soul.”
John had heard Alex loud and clear, but favonovel.com was unable to move, no different from a vegetative patient. If anything, favonovel.com was in a worse state than vegetative patients.
If favonovel.com was unconscious, it didn’t matter if favonovel.com could move or not. But with his consciousness, favonovel.com was just a paralyzed person. This was pure torture, time felt as if it had slow down significantly.
“Let’s go!” Alex said.
Brittany took a glance at John emotionlessly.
The group followed Alex out of the room. Azure and his men were already waiting for them outside.
After Alex and the others left, the Thousand Miles Conglomerate members immediately started cleaning up the scene and managed to cover up all of their tracks. Moreover, they had switched off all of the surveillance cameras that Cooper had mentioned a while ago, so they don’t pose a problem.
On the way home, Waltz hugged Alex’s arm and whispered. “Alex, I remember hearing you say that I could sleep with you in this lifetime, and that I wouldn’t have to wait for the next. Can we do that tonight?”
