The man in the ghost mask was stunned for a moment. “What do you mean? Do you know who I am?” he asked in a spooky voice.
His voice sounded as if it came from beneath manholes. It was very uncomfortable to listen to.
Alex Rockefeller sighed softly. “I hoped it wasn’t you!”
Maya Howards seemed a little surprised. “Do you know him?” she asked Alex.
The ghost mask man sneered. “Stop pretending. How could you know who I am? Cut the crap, young man. Will you get lost or not? If you don’t leave, you can stay here forever. This time next year, it’ll be your death anniversary,” he said.
Unexpectedly, Alex also said something that greatly stunned Maya, “Who’s pretending here? Do you think I can’t recognize you just because you put on a ghost mask and modified your voice a little, Papa?”
“Ahh..!” Maya immediately cried out. “H-he… Is he Papa? How is that possible?”
Of course, Maya couldn’t believe it. She also refused to believe it. In her heart, Papa was a significant person. She had said earlier that he was like her family.
On the other hand, Papa also said that he treated Maya like his own daughter, and he was her family. Moreover, how could such a jolly, handsome man who cooked delicious noodles be a bandit who blocked other people’s paths?
“No! I don’t believe it. He can’t be Papa!” Maya shouted.
Alex shook his head. “I don’t want to believe it either, but this is the truth!”
“What ‘Papa’ nonsense are you talking about? Don’t randomly address someone as your family member. I don’t have a son or daughter like you two. I’ll count to three. If you don’t leave, young man, you’ll not be able to get away! One, two…” The ghost mask man barked.
Alex shook his head gently. Even if the man in the ghost mask argued against him, it wouldn’t work.
Alex claimed the man in the ghost mask was Papa, not based on his outward appearance but based on the mysterious pearl’s vibration in Alex’s upper energy core. That was because Alex had sensed Mr. Hanson’s unique quality in the restaurant earlier. Another person like that couldn’t possibly just appear suddenly.
“Three!” the man shouted.
When the man saw that Alex was standing still and didn’t move, seemingly determined to leave with Maya, he shouted and charged at Alex.
However, Alex was much faster than him.
Shuffle…
It was almost as if Alex had teleported. His shadow flashed past the man. In the next moment, the man sensed a coolness upon his face. His ghost mask was gone.
“Ahh…!” The man shouted in surprise. He completely didn’t expect Alex to have such speed and powers. He could neither stop Alex nor dodge him.
Just as Alex passed him by, he quickly tried to cover his face with his hands.
However, it was already too late. His hands couldn’t cover his face completely either.
Meanwhile, Maya was also a woman with strong cultivation. The moment Alex removed the man’s mask, she had already seen his face clearly. Who else could he be if not Papa Hanson from the restaurant?
After seeing his face clearly, Maya’s heart sank. Her eyes turned red once more. “Papa, it really is you! Why is it you? You… Why are you doing this?” she asked sadly.
Papa Hanson closed his eyes before opening them again. After that, he gently put his hands down to show his face fully.
Indeed, it was Papa!
Since Papa Hanson had already been exposed, he decided not to pretend anymore. “Maya, don’t blame in e! You can only blame yourself for having this unique bloodline! Most importantly, you even activated the bloodline in your body. I couldn’t resist it! In the past, when you haven‘t activated it yet, I could still get over it after bearing with it for a while. But why did you activate it?” he asked.
Maya wiped away a drop of tear that was falling down her face. After that, she suddenly seemed determined.
“So, what were you planning to do to me after finding out that my unique bloodline had been activated?” she asked coldly.
