‘William Rockefeller, Soul Planting, Wasteland…’
The series of phrases made Alex’s heart skip a beat. When Alex matched the three phrases, he felt an intense sensation.
‘That old geezer wasn’t talking about my dad, was he?’
‘Then, is the one detained in the Ghost Dragon Suppressing Prison…’
At that moment, Alex was clenching his fists.
He initially intended to leave this place, but he suddenly heard such shocking words. In any case, he had to figure it out. What if Nolan Rockefeller really was his grandfather?
‘That old geezer’s divine sense is too terrifying, so… I have to be stealthier.’
For the sake of hearing the people’s conversation clearly, Alex used the Earth Escape Technique to cautiously sneak in. He stopped at about half a mile from the location.
Once again, he hid inside the Cleansing Vase once again. This magical treasure, the Cleansing Vase, was truly amazing. When hiding inside, it enabled him to see and hear the situation outside without getting affected in the slightest.
Presently, that old man’s voice entered Alex’s ears again. “Nolan Rockefeller, don’t do things the hard way. Your son was found not long ago. Do you really want to give up on him? My ancestor said he’ll let go of your son as long as you hand over the complete Holy Book. Moreover, the Fourcades will never target the Rockefellers again.”
Alex’s heart skipped a beat.
‘They’re actually after… The Holy Book?’
Alex remembered that thing well enough.
Back then, his father had faked his death and lived in seclusion for the sake of the Holy Book. Pepper Kimmich, from the underworld forces, was willing to become John Rockefeller’s woman for the sake of the Holy Book… However, when William disappeared, the Holy Book vanished with him.
What on earth was this Holy Book then?
That old man was stronger than the Immortal Monarch of the Millers. Then, Mystic Maiden had also said that the person who could plant a soul in William was definitely a powerful bigwig. If such a person had his eye on the Holy Book, it only proved how compelling it had to be.
‘I’ll go all out to draw them away.’
Alex was about to make a move, but to his surprise, Julian stopped on his own.
“Nolan Rockefeller, you’re trying to court death, but I won’t let you die! Just enjoy the pain inside the Ghost Dragon Suppressing Prison!”
“Would you feel better if I hit you more?”
“I’ll give you three days. If you don’t tell us the whereabouts of the Holy Book after three days, then your son will be gone forever! Besides, my ancestor will acquire his memory. I heard that your son has a wife and a son in the Wastelands. Hehe! He is your only bloodline, Nolan Rockefeller, and when the time comes, bang! And he will be dead.”
Julian burst into a fit of laughter.
Nolan roared like a madman.
At that point, Julian stopped talking and left with the two young people.
