1261 Wench

After talking with the White Tiger for a little longer and requesting a few things he hoped to get from him, Alex left the Beast realm.

He promised to be back in just a few days, as he had to bring back his aunt there to help with the formation as soon as it was ready to teleport across the ocean.

He hoped Pearl would be out by then, but he kept his expectations low. He would be ready for anything from a month to a year. Any longer than that, however, would be rather worrisome for him.

After arriving outside the beast realm, Alex took out a boat and immediately the aunt and nephew were on their way to the Scarlet city.

Alex arrived outside the Scarlet city sometime later and without stopping directly teleported into the city.

Liz was surprised to find herself inside the city all of a sudden, but then Alex suddenly released his spiritual sense, searching for where everyone was.

His spiritual sense was now wide enough that he could see almost everything in the city. He immediately found his father and mother in the Tiger sect, but who was this other person?

He walked with his aunt and quickly arrived by the Tiger Sect. He entered through the gates, without the guards being able to stop him at all.

On the way to the mountain where the Tiger sect disciples lived, there was a small crowd forming that seemed to belong to the people he recognized.

He saw his father, his mother, his daughter, his clone, his master, his senior sister and brother, and a few other faces that he recognized.

However, amongst them was one face that he didn't recognize at all and that seemed to be the person everyone was gathering around.

"Please calm down, senior Feng. We can talk it out," Wen Cheng tried to speak, but the thin man with long black hair and grayish-blue robes didn't seem to calm down at all.

"No, we're not talking about this. I demand an answer right now," the man shouted. "It's either me or him."

"There is no you, senior Feng. Why do you continue deluding yourself?" Helen asked.

"You accepted all of those presents I brought you, and now you say you have a husband?" the man shouted. "Do you believe I can accept that?"

"I only took those gifts because it's rude not to. I told you multiple times that I had no interest in you and that I was already married," Helen said. "You were the one that didn't accept it, senior Feng. I told you my husband would come back to me, and yet it was you who held the delusions."

"No, you could've rejected me straight up, but you didn't. That's because you knew you wanted to keep me as a backup in case your husband never returned," the man said.

Helen shook her head. "There is something seriously wrong with your head," she said. "The reason I said nothing is because I was scared of you. You might kill me if I rejected you outright. That's why I tried to distance myself from you, but you kept advancing."

"Please, my wife wants nothing to do with you, just leave," Graham spoke. He had been holding back for a while, not out of his own volition either, but he was starting to get overly ticked off.

Helen tried to pull him back, but he was rigid like a pillar that couldn't be moved at all.

"You bastard! You think you can tell me what to do?" the man shouted. "That wench tol—"

The man didn't realize when he had been punched. He didn't even realize that he had flown nearly 100 meters away, landing perfectly with his neck on Alex's hand.

He looked around in a daze for a moment, not understanding what had just happened. Then, the pain followed.

The man cried and coughed as blood dripped out of his mouth along with a few teeth. Not only that, he couldn't even close his mouth as his lower jaw had been completely destroyed.

The man tried to speak, but without a jaw, that was pretty much impossible.

"Alex?" Helen finally noticed his arrival and spoke in surprise. Then, she saw the woman standing next to him. "Liz?"

"Sister Helen," Liz spoke and ran up to Helen to give her a hug. Helen hugged her blankly, as the meeting was unexpected. She was told that they would come a little later after all.

"Alex!" the others noticed him after Helen as well.

Alex ignored them for now and looked at the man he was holding. He still held him by the neck, so he turned the man toward him and looked at his broken jaw.

"Oh no, you shouldn't have done that, father," Alex spoke while the man still cried in pain. He looked toward Alex from time to time, but he was too focused on his own injury to care about what was happening.

"I did wrong?" Graham looked confused.

"Yes," Alex said. "You shouldn't hit someone so hard. You destroyed all his nerves before his face even took any damage. Had you held back a bit, you wouldn't have destroyed the main nerves and he would be in much more pain than this."

The man tried to hit Alex's arm to free himself, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't escape Alex at all.

"Let go of me," his voice flowed through his spiritual sense into Alex.

"And why should I do that?" Alex asked. "Oh, I recognize you. You are one of the Saints that was there when I was taken away by the beasts, weren't you?"

The man paused for a bit before he recognized who he was looking at. "It's you!" he spoke.

"Yes," Alex said. "Unfortunately for you, you called my mother a wench."

His palm gripped tighter around the man's neck and slowly it started to hurt a lot. "What are you doing?" he shouted and tried to take out a weapon from his storage bag.

However, before he could do anything, Space and Cutting dao joined together for a split second and attacked the man.

Both of his arms were cut off right away, falling to the ground.

Alex pulled the man close to him and spoke, "Go on. Call my mother a wench again," he said.

The man couldn't say anything but cry louder as the pain overwhelmed him. It had been a very, very long time since he had felt pain, let alone see his own blood. However, somehow not only was he in pain, but his jaw was completely broken and his hands were also cut off as well.

Alex got ready to attack once more, but Helen ran next to him and stopped his arm.

"That's enough," she said. "You've already hurt him enough."

Alex looked and the man and shook his head. "Fine," he said. "Be grateful, you fool. You won't have to suffer much longer because my mother is kind, unlike the rest of us."

He tossed the man away and in doing so, the man disappeared from everyone's view.

Alex finally turned toward his mother and smiled. "I'm sorry you had to wait so long for me to come back," he said.

"Better late than never," Helen said and hugged her son tightly.
