135 What Did You Say About My Mother?

So the next morning they left Marcial City. They went to look for the driver and left in the carriage.

Adam didn't know how his grandson was going to get the tokens but thought he was related to his master. So he dropped the matter.

Leaving the City about 500 miles from the City. Adam, Helena, and Alexander got out of the carriage and let the coachman return alone, as it would take more than a month for them to return but if Adam carried them with his speed they could return in two days.

Normally a half step Elemental expert would take ten days from the Alba Kingdom to the Martial City (Full speed and no rest) and now Adam was an expert on the second level Elemental so returning in two days as possible.

Quickly two days pa.s.sed and many people were left in doubt as the third prince did not even make the slightest act of presence as if the tournament did not exist. In fact, no one from the Alba royal family showed up in the martial city ignoring the tournament and the only one from that family was the second exiled prince of the family.

This shocked people and under the level of expectation of the tournament, in fact, many doubted if it was worth the tournament. Since six of the seven seats were already occupied.

Among them were people with somber faces and they couldn't help but think: "We should have sent an invitation..." but now it was too late for this and the tournament was just around the corner.

Meanwhile, there was a gray-haired man traveling with a couple of children on his back at an impressive speed and the man asked the boy: "Alexander, didn't you say the Qi in the region increased, why didn't you?"

Alexander only said: "That change does not happen in a day, During the next six months the density will not stop increasing until it reaches its peak and then this density will be maintained for two to three years or so before descending".

Adam nodded and I look forward to the next few years in hopes that the region will be able to create several hundred new experts and even reach the ranks of mortal countries. That tower might have been a curse but in a way, it would also be a blessing that could create a miracle.

Entering the capital city Adam finally relaxed and could not believe that he was so long without Beth and out of his home but had finally returned, could not wait to see the expression of his wife when he told her that her husband was a True Cultivator.

Today his appearance remained the same only that his white hair turned gray due to increased longevity upon entering the Elemental Realm, so he could now be described as a middle-aged man.

Alexander asked Alexander for his s.p.a.ce ring so that his master could repair it a little and Adam quickly accepted hoping for the day that this tower would return to its best day.

So Adam went to see Beth while Alexander and Helena went to Anna's shop to see his mother.

The shop was the same and there seemed to be no change except that in these years Anna's customers only increased and there were contracts with other great merchants in the region making Anna's business only prosper.

Alexander And Helena went directly to the fourth floor where his mother had her office and saw one of the three housekeepers other than Audrey who had his mother.

This was Sophia, she was twenty years old and single. Her facial features were beautiful and she had a small waist while her tail and front were as wide as melons. Anna took her as a housekeeper two years ago and was the third housekeeper in the family but the situation in which she took her was a bit suspicious and adding her physical appearance, Alexander thought that Sophia has a somewhat noisy story.

Alexander didn't care and Sophia didn't say anything but there was something strange about Sophia's body and that was that she had half of her meridians mutilated and lacked a Dantian, Alexander knew that it was impossible to be born without Dantian there was only one explanation, Someone had stolen it and in the process mutilated Sophia's meridians. Because of this, he thought Sophia's story would be interesting but he did not ask.

The only process that required removing the Dantian from a person was to steal his crop and transfer it to another person but that situation was difficult to reach unless...

Sophia when she saw Alexander recognized him immediately and approached him saying: "Young master, Little Helena you are back, Miss Anna will be very happy!".

Helena smiled at Sophia's greeting, Alexander nodded and said, "Sophia, it's good to see you. Can I see my mother?"

Sophia showed an ugly expression and said, "Currently the lady is in a meeting with a merchant who..."

Alexander seeing Sophia's expression knew what she meant and ended: "You want to have a marriage with my mother, don't you?"

Sophia knew how intelligent her Young Master was so she just nodded and Alexander showed a cold expression on her face, Do you think my mother or I am fools?

It was obvious what that merchant wanted and it was Anna's small fortune. That merchant wanted to make a marriage covenant in the way that Anna's a.s.sets would slowly pa.s.s into her family's name by eating Anna's business and when that happens Anna will have an accident or die of a disease.

In these years many merchants have wanted to intimidate Anna to take over her business but eventually realized that Anna's strength was not that of a small merchant she should have so she had opted for the second option, Stealing her business fairly.

That method was harder and longer as it could take decades but they did it anyway.

Seeing Alexander's gloomy expression. Sophia could only sigh and say: "These merchants are different from a family from the Northern states and are quite famous there having five Elemental half-step powerhouse protecting them, The Brook family".

Sophia obviously showed a weak disdain for those powers but quickly the occult and Alexander showed an indifferent expression. Those merchants think that they can force my mother into a second marriage are very mistaken, Since my own mother was a half step Elemental and not to mention Audrey who was a true Elemental Power. So today they ran into an iron wall.

Before they could even go on talking they were a "Boom" from Anna's office and a drowned scream while a female voice shouted: "Beware of those who threaten, our conversation is over before you are killed".

Without giving them a chance to speak the office door causing two pale bodies to fly out the door, the two people were a middle-aged man and an old man who came to propose but did not expect this woman's strength to be so powerful.

In the end the old man who was a ninth level power Gathering Qi stood up and saw Anna with resentment saying: "d.a.m.n b.i.t.c.h, the Brook family is giving the opportunity to an impure woman like you to be part of our family, You should be honored but all you do is seal your death and if you are an Elemental half step power, The Brook family has five powers equal to or stronger than you!"

The old man awaited Anna's answer but soon a childish voice with a strong murderous intent came to the old man saying, "What did you say about my mother?"
