“Ahh…” “Alex, Alex, what is this? What’s going on? The bone… The bone… It went into my body!”
Phoebe Larsen was shocked by what was happening before her eyes. She lifted her hand and cried out in shock and horror.
Even if anyone else were in her place, they would’ve reacted like her if they became possessed by a dead person’s bone.
Never mind Phoebe, even Alex Rockefeller himself was dumbfounded.
He fixed his gaze on Phoebe’s finger. Suddenly, a thought occurred to him. ‘Could this be a soul legacy?’
In the Ultimate Book of Medicine, there was a record of an expert who had stored his soul in a bone remnant just before he died. He hid everything he learned within it and waited for his successor to find his legacy. If this was true, Phoebe was considered rather lucky to have come across such a great opportunity.
However, Alex soon sensed that the situation was a little different from what he had expected. Phoebe’s finger that got possessed by the mysterious bone emitted a white light, and countless mysterious runes exploded from inside.
“These are ancient runes!”
“They’re so complicated. These runes are very difficult to comprehend!”
After figuring out the first two sword formations of Dragon’s Bane of Thirty-Six, Alex had acquired a certain amount of knowledge about ancient runes. Now, he at least knew a bit about ancient runes. However, he felt that this finger bone was even more complicated than the sword formations.
A few seconds later, these ancient runes circled around before charging into Phoebe’s forehead.
Boom!
It was as though an explosion had occurred within Phoebe’s consciousness.
Alex’s heart jumped. He quickly checked on how she was doing. In the end, he realized, thankfully, that she had only fainted. There weren’t any other complications.
‘What exactly is it?’ Alex wondered.
He placed Phoebe back on the bed before grabbing her finger and carefully examined it. However, even after activating his primordial eye, he couldn’t detect the presence of the finger bone. It was as if it had disappeared entirely.

In the Zimmer family’s place, Quentin Zimmer’s wife, Snow Whitney, rushed back overnight from her vacation in Japan. When she saw her son and daughter’s corpses, she nearly died from the anguish she felt. She simply cried mournfully.
However, ten minutes later, Snow walked out of the house and secretly met with Sister Flora.
“Senior!” Sister Flora greeted Snow respectfully after seeing her.
If Quentin had seen this, he would have probably been dumbfounded. He and Snow had been married for many years, and they even had a son and daughter together. However, he never knew that his wife and Sister Flora were disciples from the same sect.
“Junior, I want to know everything about the person who killed my son and daughter, including his ancestry. I want to annihilate his entire family for killing my children!”
When Snow spoke, her eyes were blood red. Demonic energy actually appeared around her body.
“Senior, be careful. You might expose your identity,” Sister Flora immediately reminded her.
As such, Snow suppressed the blood-colored, demonic energy around her body.
After that, Sister Flora gave a simple account of Alex’s identity. Quentin was Michigan’s governor, and he had immense power. Despite Zachary Xavier’s action of closing Alex’s identity files and locking them all up, and only Zachary was supposed to be able to see them, Quentin still managed to find out quite a lot of information about Alex through other means.
After listening to everything, Snow had a fierce look in her eyes.
“Hmph!”
“Geronimo Melvis, that old man. He should be dead by now. He’s practically a fool for even thinking he could break through to the Martial Honor rank. He’ll never make it happen in this lifetime. His grandson dared to kill my son and daughter. I will definitely make the Melvis family accompany my children on the burial grounds!”
“Anyone who messes with people from my sect has to die!” After pausing for a moment, Snow continued to speak. “Junior, I want you to get something done. Three days later, during Easton and Viole’s funeral procession, I wanted to kill this Rockefeller guy personally! However, I want you to secretly kidnap all his direct relatives and the people closest to him within these three days. On the day of the funeral procession, I want all of these people to be buried along with my children!” Snow said.
Sister Flora was stunned for a moment. “Isn’t this a little too much? Most importantly, I don’t have enough manpower.”
“Don’t worry. Manpower isn’t an issue!” Snow exclaimed.
