Lexia took a glance at Alex and nodded towards Shaun. “He really is the president’s grandchild.”
“Ah…”
“What? He’s really his grandchild? How is that possible?”
All of them widened their eyes. They just couldn’t believe it.
Stephanie, on the other hand, couldn’t seem to find her daughter at all. In a panic, she asked, “Shaun, where’s my daughter? Where is she?”
With that, Shaun fell silent. After two seconds, he pointed toward Alex. “Him! He was the one who did some kind of trick in this area and killed Soraya!”
“What?” exclaimed the women in the Melvis family.
Stephanie glared at Alex furiously. “You… You’ve crossed the line! Soraya is your cousin, for God’s sake! How could you have killed her? Bring my daughter back! I’ll kill you off myself! A soul for a soul!”
Stephanie went hysteric and punched Alex mindlessly.
However, there was just no way that she could possibly hit Alex.
“Stop panicking!” Alex grabbed Stephanie by the wrists. “You believe him just because he said your daughter died?”
“What do you mean by that? If she’s still alive, where is she?”
“I’ll just bring her over to you.”
Alex smiled softly and took a step out of the boat, hopping right into the lake. However, he didn ’t sink into the water at all, managing to stand on the surface with ease, as if he was walking on hard ground.
In just seconds, he disappeared.
“Huh? He disappeared?” Stephanie exclaimed. The rest of the Melvis family were shocked as well.
Sky was just as confused and surprised as the rest. This was his first time ever seeing the powers of a talisman, after all.
Anna, on the other hand, was not confused one bit. Back in Michigan, when Lex was captured, she had been trapped within a talisman as well, almost ending up getting pregnant despite being a virgin. If it weren’t for Alex, she would’ve ended up with a
terrible fate.
She patted Sky on the shoulder and smiled. “My master’s powers are quite mysterious, huh? Are you shocked this time?”
Sky smiled back. “Anna, you really have to learn more from Alex. If you do, you’d be able to exceed my abilities, or even Uncle Zachary’s! Your future would be limitless.”
Suddenly, Anna was reminded of Maya, a genius who managed to become a half-stepped grandmaster within three months. Anna sighed. “Talent is the most important factor, though!”
At the same time, as Alex disappeared from everyone’s sight, he had entered another area of the talisman. This part was called The Gates To Hell.
When one was stuck here, they’d be affected by the talisman drastically. Due to sheer pressure on their bodies, their movements would be restricted, and they might even start hallucinating.
When he came into the area, he noticed Soraya lying on the boat, her clothes a mess. Both her arms were moving around, doing unsightly matters out in the open. It was unclear what illusions she was having at the time but Alex noticed a lot of blood on her body.
Swoosh…
Alex reached his hand out and changed the position of the talisman, destroying all hallucinations in this area.
He inserted a flow of mental power into Soraya’s brain, sobering her up. “Wake up, Soraya!”
Almost instantly, Soraya crawled up to her feet.
Noticing Alex in front of her, she seemed shocked. “Rockefeller! So it was you! Don’t you dare come any closer and do that again!”
Alex stared at her silently, not saying a word.
Soraya lowered her head to check on herself. Something just felt odd to her. There was a pool of blood under her body. It hurt a lot. Shuddering, she wanted to cry but was extremely helpless. She yelled at him. “You… You b*stard! What have you done to me?”
