Chapter 1148 Richard Express Gratitude
Zack was still in shock, unable to react at all. It took him a moment to come back to his senses. When he did, he looked at Alex
standing in front of him as if he were a monster.
Swallowing his saliva, Zack asked, “Mr. Jefferson, who exactly are you, and why are you so amazing? I thought I knew you pretty
well. However, after this incident, I realize I know nothing about you at all. Yet, I said I wanted to follow you...”
Alex smiled and teased on purpose. “What, do you think I’m too complicated? Or are you regretting your
decision?”
Zack quickly shook his head, letting out a long sigh, and swept away all the wild thoughts that had been swirling in his mind.
“I just think you’re really amazing, even more so than those deities. I really don’t know what someone useless like me can do to
help you when I’m by your side.”
Alex smiled calmly. “I really like your cooking skills. How about you come to my house and be a chef in the future? Feel free to
decide your salary.”
“Of course, there’s no problem with that! I may not be confident in other things, but when it comes to cooking. I take it seriously!”
Zack confidently patted his chest as he assured Alex.
Having resolved the matters of Leight Sect, Alex planned to return to Nebula City to spend some quality. time with his family. Just
as he arrived home, his phone started ringing.

Upon taking a look, he saw it was a call from Richard. Even before answering the phone, Alex knew that Richard was calling to
express gratitude. It would seem that the people from Leight Sect had already returned all of the Grant family’s properties.
“Alex, thank you for what you’ve done for the Grant family this time. If there’s anything I can help you with in the future, please
don’t hesitate to ask. As for the Sutton family, I promise not to target them anymore.” The grateful voice of Richard came through
the phone.
“This matter is just a piece of cake for me, and there’s no need for you to do anything. Since Maggie is not. by your side to take
care of you, I hope you will take good care of yourself,” said Alex.
No sooner had his words fallen than a heavy sigh came from the other end of the phone. Richard said, “Perhaps we, the Grant
family, really wronged you in the past. As for the matter of investing in the tech dome, my family is willing to provide thirty billion.”
That day, the wedding did not go as planned, and our family withdrew the thirty billion investment. Now, Alex managed to take
back the Grant family’s fortune. For the
Grant family, this is a great favor. Offering thirty billion is the only thing that I could think of to express my gratitude.
“No need. The financial situation of the tech dome has always been normal. It doesn’t need a large amount of money at the
moment. As for Maggie, please do me a favor and tell her to take good care of herself. She is a wonderful woman, and I’m just
not fortunate enough to have her in my life,” said Alex with a hint of melancholy.
After that incident, Richard knew Alex’s strength was something ordinary people like them couldn’t even begin to imagine. If I can
marry my granddaughter to such a man, the Grant family will essentially have a powerful backer. In that scenario, we won’t have
to worry about our family’s decline. At the time, I withdrew the investment because I felt embarrassed and publicly humiliated. In
a fit of anger, I made that decision. However, now I’m somewhat regretful about it. Even if Alex had been married before and had

a child or even two children and a harem, it doesn’t matter to me anymore. I’ve come to terms with it. As long as my
granddaughter can stay by Aler’s side, it’ll be the greatest blessing for the Grant family.
Just as he was about to say something else. Alex had already hung up the phone. Left with no choice, Richard could only give
up. After all, even if he managed to persuade Alex, he could not resolve the situation with Maggie.
Meanwhile, things were happening at Raven Sect, Lumenopolis.
In a magnificent estate adorned as splendidly as a palace, a young man sitting in the main seat angrily. grabbed a cup from the
table. Then, he fiercely threw it to the ground.
“Are all the people of Leight Sect incompetent? Hundreds of you can’t even handle a young man in his twenties from the real
world! Our reputation will be tarnished if word gets out.”
Upon seeing Hadriel’s fury, Young, who was kneeling on the ground, wished he could bury his head in the soil. At that moment,
he was just an ordinary person. Therefore, the aura emanating from Hadriel stung his skin, causing a faint pain.
“Even though he’s only in his twenties, his strength has already reached the first-phase Grandmaster. Moreover, the techniques
he cultivated are incredibly mystical. I couldn’t even last ten moves against him. Most importantly, he’s immune to thunder and
lightning, so I really have no way to deal with him!” Young said with a sense of helplessness.
Hadriel refused to believe it at all. There isn’t enough Mana in the real world for cultivation to be possible! Even if one were to
cultivate Mortal Force, how powerful could they possibly become? I don’t believe a twenty-something- year-old Grandmaster
exists! Mysterious techniques that could ignore lightning? That sounds like an absurd tale.
Hadriel looked at Young, increasingly feeling that the latter was a useless piece of trash with no value at all. A hint of murderous
intent flashed in his eyes, and he directly slapped Young on the head.
Boom!
In an instant, blood splattered everywhere as Young’s head was directly crushed by Hadriel’s palm, leaving a mixture of red and
white on the ground.
“Someone clean this place up.” After giving the order, Hadriel didn’t even look back and left directly.
