Wayne actually woke up right this moment.
Alex was shocked. ‘Sh*t, if he heard what Phoebe and I talked about, I would have to face serious consequences,’ he thought.
Phoebe, on the other hand, immediately gave Wayne a big hug, exclaiming. “Dad! You’re awake! This is great! You scared me to death!”
With her exclamations, Grace rushed over as well. Her eyes reddened. “Larsen!”
The whole family started hugging each other while Alex walked to the side.
Unexpectedly, Wayne pointed to Alex and said, “Hey kid, come here. We’re not done talking yet. Who are you? And who is your father? Why did you ask my daughter and me to get a DNA test?”
Grace froze, looking like she was about to say something.
However, Phoebe replied to him before she could. “Dad, don’t misunderstand. We’re just joking. This guy is the son of Mom’s old colleague.”
“Colleague? Who?”
“William Rockefeller. Do you know him, Dad?”
Upon hearing that name, Wayne’s mouth became agape, and she looked slightly upset. He took a glance at Grace as if jealous.
Alex’s heart sank. ‘No way? Could Dad have been fighting with Larsen for Grace’s affection?’

At the same time, Sister Flora and two other half-stepped grandmasters had arrived in California.
“Sister, we’ve done some investigating. That punk’s mother, Brittany, lives here,” one of the half-stepped grandmasters said as he pointed toward the Rockefeller manor.
“Very good!” Flora nodded and smiled scornfully.
Many thought that she was a member of the Emei Sect, but that clan had become just a mere legend. There was no such clan in Mt. Emei anymore.
“Mask up!” Flora ordered. All of them took their masks out and placed them over their faces. All the masks looked the same, oddly terrifying. They were green with sharp teeth, horns that looked like that of a devil. Moreover, their faces and mouths were covered in blood.
Crash! Crash! Crash!!!
Throwing a few stones over, they managed to break every surveillance camera in the manor.
Creak!
Flora used her dark force to break the locks, opening the door with ease. The three immediately walked into the manor and closed the door gently behind them.
At that moment, Flora’s eyes looked like they were filled with blood.
If Alex were to be here, he would have noticed that Flora’s aura was similar to Carol’s.
This was… The Blood Cult!
She was using the Bloodthirsty Demonic Art. Her cold voice filled the air. “Save for Brittany, kill everyone in the manor!”
“Yes, Sister!”
They were swift, going from the front yard to the main house in mere minutes. Just then, they noticed that a group of people was sitting in a hall. There were at least tens of them.
Upon their sudden appearance, however, these people seemed abnormally calm.
Brittany, who was sitting in the middle, stood up and said calmly, “You guys are late. We’ve been waiting for the whole day, yet all along, it’s been the three of you?”
