After being slapped twice, Alex Rockefeller was also feeling a little angry. “Isn’t that enough? I could still beat you calling me a beast, but you said I was embarrassing you. That really is nonsense. How did I shame you? I was rescuing you. If I didn’t do it, you’d end up in an even more dire situation.”
Phoebe Larsen stared at Alex fiercely, almost as if he had killed her father. “Are you a man?” she asked.
“Of course, I am,” Alex answered.
“In that case, am I even lesser than a normal woman in your eyes? How could you still resist during times like this? Are you impotent?” Phoebe asked.
Alex was stunned for a moment. Suddenly, he understood.
Phoebe wasn’t upset because he took advantage of her in such a manner, but she was upset he didn’t take further advantage of her.
This was the kind of a shame she was referring to. Women’s thoughts were challenging to understand!
Alex stood up and shook his head. “If I could do it to you when you were in such a state, that would be my biggest shame. Do you think I’m that kind of person?” Alex said.
“Hurry up and get cleaned. I bet the Divine Constabulary and that Quentin Zimmer will be here soon,” he added after a pause.
Phoebe gritted her teeth and stood up. However, just as she stood up, she realized that her legs were weak and still trembling forcefully.
In the end, she stumbled against Alex.
“You mustn’t tell a soul about what happened today, especially not Cheryl Coney, ” Phoebe said as she stared at Alex.
“Don’t worry. I’m not an idiot!” Alex said.
Phoebe became upset again when she saw his demeanor. “You’re not an idiot, but you’re still pretending to be a good guy despite having taken advantage of me. Good for you, but I’m a virgin who’s been touched all over by you. What will I do in the
future?”
“Hey, big sister. For goodness’ sake, how was it good for me? I don’t feel good at all. You’re the only one who felt great. See for yourself!” Alex cried out.
Phoebe hit her lip. She felt thoroughly embarrassed right now.
“Carry me into the bathroom. I don’t have any energy left,” she said.
“Carry… I don’t think that’s a good idea, is it?” Alex said.
“Don’t be stupid. You’ve touched everything. What’s there to be wary of?” Phoebe said.
In the end, Alex carried her into the bathroom. Just like she said, he’d already done worse. If he stalled any further, that’d make him look unmanly.

As soon as Phoebe finished taking a shower, Zachary Xavier, Quentin Zimmer, and the others finally arrived. As Michigan’s governor, one could imagine how angry Quentin must have been after his son and daughter were killed at the same time.
On his way over, he made over ten phone calls.
He summoned people from several departments of authority in Michigan. In fact, he even called upon over ten powerful families in Michigan. Among them, three of them were families with over three hundred years of legacy in martial arts.
The strongest among them was Michigan’s Glen family. That was because there was a Grandmaster supporting the Glen family.
In terms of capabilities, the Glen family could be described as nearly as powerful as Michigan’s Stoermer family. That was because Zayn Stoermer from Michigan’s Stoermer family had only just advanced into the Grandmaster rank. However, the Grandmaster from the Glen family had achieved that more than ten years ago. With over ten years in the running, the Glen family overshadowed the other martial arts families in many ways.
“So what if he’s an elder in the Divine Constabulary?!”
“So what if he’s the grandson of the Divine Constabulary’s president?!”
“Michigan still belongs to the Zimmer family. Whoever dares to murder my son and daughter will have to pay for it with their blood!” Quentin had an eerily cold expression upon his face. He couldn’t calm himself down at all. This vengeance was greater than the skies above and the oceans below. Even if the Divine Constabulary’s president were here, he’d still take on the fight. They really thought he was a titular governor with no actual power.
Not only that, Quentin even called a few influential people in Alaska.
Having held the position as governor for so many years, how could he not have become acquainted with a few influential folks?
In an instant, a thunderstorm was brewing.
The city of Michigan had riled up many families in America. News was spread far and wide… In fact, even the media was alerted by it. They received news that Governor Zimmer’s son and daughter were murdered by the fiancé of Wayne Larsen’s daughter.
