The room that Alex stayed in looked like it hadn’t been used for a long time.
Phoebe was not the kind of woman who could clean a room meticulously and leave no dust either. So, Alex cleaned it up himself, took a shower, and lay on the bed to call his family. He briefly told them about how he needed to stay in Michigan for a few days.
Of course, he definitely wouldn’t tell Maya and the others that he was also being the personal bodyguard for the magistrate’s daughter and living in the same house with her at night where they were home alone.
After the call, Alex sat cross-legged and began to practice the Force. In the past few days, he had been observing the so-called ‘Celestial Oceanic Bead’. This bead is exactly the same as that mysterious bead, and needless to say, both must have come from the same origin. However, the Celestial Oceanic Bead was more complete than the mysterious head that he had obtained previously. Although it was also a little broken, the degree of damage was lesser by a lot.
What surprised him the most was, the Chaos bead in his mind palace also seemed to have a strange connection with this bead. At a particular moment before this, he felt the Chaos Bead release a burst of energy that entered the Celestial Oceanic Bead.
Then, from that moment on, it was as though the Celestial Oceanic Bead had been sealed by something and could not move anymore.
This made Alex speechless.
In the beginning, Hayley Hanson’s father was so awesome, and he took out the beads directly and activated the beads’ ability. He shouted out ‘The Power of the Sea’, and it could immediately imprison a big, living person.
However, now, this ability had been devoured by the Chaos Bead.
“B*stard!”
Yet, on the other hand, the speed at which the previous bead was repairing its cracks had increased recently. Now that almost half of the cracks had been repaired, the strange runes on the bead had become more apparent. However, even if he had cracked the first sword array of the Dragon’s Bane of Thirty-Six and was just a step away from breaking the second one, the runes on the bead were something that he had not seen nor heard before.
It seemed to be an older, more complex, and esoteric rune.
“Forget it, let’s just study the array for the Dragon Bane of Thirty-Six!”
“The second sword, Seven Blades of Death!”
With just a thought in his mind, a dragonbone sword shot out from his mind palace. It turned around, a pale golden formation slowly spreading out in front of Alex as it turned.
An array that was complicated and difficult to understand was on it. However, at this moment, Alex could direct the array as he pleased, and he was just missing the last position. The blade’s spiritual spirit swayed.
Alex closed his eyes, used his spiritual consciousness to try various changes in his sea of consciousness, and deduced the array changes at a fast speed… This work requires very detailed and meticulous calculations, as well as huge conversions. If it were anyone else doing this who had a smaller brain, they really wouldn’t be able to calculate it out.
At the same time, Phoebe was in her pajamas but had yet to sleep.
She was video chatting with her best friend, Cheryl.
“How far have you and that Rockefeller guy gone? Did this guy have a clean break with his ex-wife?” Phoebe was asking Cheryl about Alex.
In fact, when she talked about this, a sense of guilt filled her heart.
The man her best friend likes was currently sleeping in her house.
However, there was another voice in her heart, as though telling herself that this man was someone Phoebe had known first, and since young, they already had a marriage contract between them to boot.
“It’s okay!” Cheryl said shyly, thinking of the night in the small town in Puerto Rico, the moment she had let go of the bath towel. She felt all over at that time and was only one step away from the last step.
However, because she had a lot to learn about the Immortal Doctor inheritance knowledge recently, and the former Immortal Doctor was constantly supervising and guiding, she didn’t have the time to explore anything deeper with Alex. She was reluctant to answer it because Alex and Dorothy were only a fake divorce after all.
However, this was something that she couldn’t tell Phoebe. This was Alex’s secret, and she couldn’t just simply blab it out.
“Are you seriously planning to hang yourself for that loser as*hole Rockefeller?”
“What do you mean to ‘hang me’? Alex is already a very good man!”
