Sister Flora nodded. After that, she couldn’t resist asking a question. “Senior, did your trip to Japan go smoothly?”
“The superiors gave an order. We have to acquire the Dragon Gate’s key at all costs,” Snow Whitney said.
“Caesar’s tomb?” Sister Flora asked.
“That’s right!” Snow replied.
Sister Flora nodded. “I’ll get it done right away!”

Alex Rockefeller stayed by Phoebe Larsen’s bed for three whole hours. By then, it was already two in the morning.
Phoebe finally woke up.
When Alex saw her eyes opening, he quickly grabbed her hand and checked her pulse. Everything was fine!
Earlier, when Phoebe was still unconscious, Alex could sense mysterious ancient runes spinning around in her body. They coursed through her veins repeatedly, almost as if they were modifying her body from a mortal body into a spiritual body.
This was actually a good thing.
For example, when Alex first acquired his ancestor’s Ultimate Book of Medicine, he received a breath of divine energy. That was when his body went through a modification. From an average person, he turned directly into a martial arts expert. This was a grand opportunity.
Alex was still very happy for Phoebe that she was able to acquire such a grand opportunity.
“You’re awake. How do you feel? Don’t you feel that all of a sudden, you’ve become very powerful?” Alex asked with a chuckle.
“Turned very powerful?” Phoebe looked at Alex blandly. “How is this powerful? This is practically the weakest body ever!”
“Ahh?!” Alex was stunned for a moment after hearing what Phoebe said.
Phoebe’s tone and the expression on her face were completely different from before. Even her voice sounded a little different.
Also, what did she mean when she said ‘this body’?
“You… You’re not Phoebe Larsen. Who are you?” Alex asked.
His expressions had changed drastically. He nearly jumped up from the shock of his discovery.
Alex thought of one possibility…
‘Possession!’
That’s right!
In his ancestor’s legacy, he once read that some strong individuals are so capable and omnipotent that their souls wouldn’t vanish even after they died. They would preserve their souls and wait for an opportune moment to possess another person’s body.
Once the possession was complete, the person’s original soul would no longer exist.
“Indeed, I’m not Phoebe Larsen!” The fake Phoebe readily admitted to it.
“You… You possessed her?” Alex looked at Phoebe. After that, he instantly grabbed the Seven Blades of Death from Dragon’s Bane of Thirty-Six in his mind palace and pressed it against Phoebe’s head. “I don’t care who you are. Get out right now. Otherwise, I’ll destroy your soul!” Alex yelled.
“Seven Blades of Death?”
To Alex’s surprise, she glanced indifferently at the sword in his hand and immediately called out his name.
“Are you a Rockefeller?” she asked.
Alex was stunned yet again. “You recognize me? Hurry up and get out! If you want to possess someone, I can get you someone who just died!”
The woman shook her head. “What if I refuse to come out?”
“Then you can have a taste of my Seven Blades of Death!” Alex growled.
“Sure. Go ahead and kill me!”
“…”
Alex directly shrank the Seven Blades of Death before stabbing it into Phoebe’s pressure point on her head. He wanted to use the Seven Needles of Exorcism to force the additional soul out of her body. However, it didn’t work at all!
“It’s useless. With your Divine Transcendence cultivation, wanting to force me out is undoubtedly a fool’s dream.”
“…”
Alex was speechless.
“On the basis that you are a descendant of a Rockefeller, I can promise that I will not possess this woman’s body. However, there is a condition you have to comply with!”
“Say it,” Alex said helplessly.
