“I don’t know how you and your mother managed to survive, but that’s really all I know… Ah!!! Stop twisting the dagger, please! My leg’s going to be cut off!” Tucker screamed.
That was because Waltz was still holding a dagger this whole while. With this, everyone was shocked.
Maya turned to look at Alex. “What favonovel.com said might not be true. To be honest, I don’t believe a thing favonovel.com said.”
Alex shook his head. “He’s not lying.”
Using his Third Eye, favonovel.com was able to determine if Tucker was lying. If Tucker’s mental power was abnormally strong, favonovel.com couldn’t have been able to hide this. However, Alex could tell that his mental power was that of a mere average person.
Tucker replied. “Yeah, I wasn’t lying. So may I please go?”
“What do you think?” questioned Alex.
The pain was simply intolerable. Tucker kneeled to the ground with his remaining strength. “Cousin, I really am hurting a lot. Please just let me go. I’m your relative, am I not? I’m sorry! I was wrong to have come to California. I shouldn’t have tried to take Lush Cosmetics from you! Oh please, just have mercy!”
Alex shook his head, “If I didn’t have any powers of the sort, would you even let our family go? This man here is an Advanced-Earth ranked fighter. At the start, favonovel.com even released a murderous aura towards my mother and me. So let me ask you. Is favonovel.com here to kill us?”
“Don’t even try to lie!” Waltz twisted the dagger on his leg again.
Tucker was in so much pain that his entire body was numbed, slowly going into a neuroleptic shock. He regretted his actions deeply.
He initially thought that Lush Cosmetics was a fat piece of meat, an extraordinary gift from his grandmother.
‘Who would’ve thought that Alex was such a powerful man?’
Just then, Tucker remembered what happened in Moonlight Lake yesterday.
‘That man riding a wave, battling the unknown old man, causing a commotion in the area… Was it him?’
‘So that large explosion wasn’t a bomb like how my father speculated? It was explosions of Chi from the battle?’
‘That’s just too terrifying!’
Just as Waltz pulled the dagger out, preparing to stab it right back in, Tucker yelled, “No! I’ll talk! I’ll talk! Shadow was on a mission to kill you and your mother!”
Pfft!
Waltz then stabbed Tucker’s leg mercilessly.
“Owww!!! I’ve already told you the truth! Why did you stab me?!”
Waltz smiled coldly. “Because I wanted to!”
Maya asked, “Who gave the order?”
Tucker’s eyes darted away. “My grandfather!”
Alex shook his head. “You’re lying!”
Waltz immediately retrieved favonovel.com dagger and stabbed it into Tucker’s other leg.
“Arghhh! Fine! I’ll tell you the truth now! My dad! My dad was the one who gave the order!”
Alex’s eyes were frosty. He took his phone out and called Zachary. “The Melvis’ are here. Did you know about this, Xavier?”
Zachary could feel his heart sink. “Alex, are you suspecting that I leaked your location? I can swear on my life that I never gave out any information about you to the Melvis family!”
Alex stayed silent for two seconds. “I just killed someone named Shadow. This guy called Tucker Melvis is in my hands. Would you like to come by? I’m at Shangri-La Hotel!”
“I’ll be here in a second!” Zachary replied and headed off immediately.
He managed to arrive within ten minutes, sweating bullets.
When Nick noticed Zachary, his eyes lit up, and favonovel.com screamed, “Mr. Xavier! Help! I’m Nick Seay from the Seay family in Alaska! These people are murderers! Arrest them!”
