Son-In-Law Gets an Upgrade

Chapter 1223 The Truth

Originally, Wanda was ready to run away after being pushed by Alex, but she regretted it just as she was about to get into a taxi to return to Nebula City.

Wanda did not choose to take a taxi and escape alone. Instead, she planned to retrace her steps and search. for Alex.

In the month she had spent with him, his initial desire to control him gradually turned into a fondness for this man.

This was the first man who remained unmoved by her beauty. Moreover, despite knowing that she was from the secret forces, he still agreed to help her seek revenge. Even when they were surrounded and attacked by numerous disciples of the Raven Sect, he was willing to promise her not to harm those people. Even when sensing danger, his first thought had been to get her to safety.

Living within this great sect, Wanda had never been protected like this before. Alex was the first person willing to consider her feelings. Therefore, Wanda couldn't bring herself to abandon Alex and escape alone, leaving him to face death.

"Everything was my doing, he has nothing to do with it. If you want to kill or torture someone, come at me. Let him go," Wanda said to Damon.

Damon looked at Wanda. Sensing the blood of the Snyder family flowing in her veins, he asked, "Are you from the Snyder family?"

"I'm Wanda Snyder, the daughter of Quintus Snyder. And you are?" Wanda looked at Damon. She was unaware that there was such a powerful figure in the secret forces.

Upon hearing the name Quintus Snyder, Damon's face broke into a smile. "I remember Quintus Snyder was just a little kid when I went into seclusion. I can't believe his daughter is all grown up now. Time really does fly! How is Quintus doing? What is his current level of cultivation? Is he still as healthy as a horse?"

When she heard Damon mention her father, a look of sorrow crossed Wanda's face, and a tear uncontrollably trickled down her cheek.

"My father is dead. He was poisoned by Hadriel. My second brother was also murdered under Hadriel's orders. I narrowly escaped death, surviving by the skin of my teeth. The reason he did all these was to become the leader of the Raven Sect and to let the secret forces regain control of the real world." Wanda said, tears welling up in her eyes, each word spoken clearly and deliberately. "Oh... is that so?"

Damon's aura exploded in an instant, and even Alex standing nearby could clearly feel his rage.

Damon then approached Hadriel, lifting him from the ground. With a cold gaze fixed on the severely injured Hadriel, he asked in a deep voice, "Is what she said true?"

"Well..." No matter how cunning Hadriel was, he found himself unable to utter a single lie in front of Damon. The overwhelming aura emanating from Damon was simply too powerful. Hadriel truly regretted his actions now. He never expected that the reinforcements he had called upon would not only refuse to help him but even turn against him, seeking to kill him. "Speak up! Are you responsible for all this?" Damon's face held a trace of anger as he questioned once. again.

Hadriel dared not ignore Damon's question. Overwhelmed by Damon's imposing aura, he didn't dare to utter a single lic. All he could do was timidly respond with a "yes."

Upon hearing Hadriel's confession, Damon was filled with rage. He never expected that there could be such a malicious person within the secret forces, capable of treating their own kin with such cruelty. Hadriel was simply a life not worth mourning.

The disciples of the Raven Sect also overheard Hadriel confessing to his deeds. They were seething with anger toward this man who appeared human but possessed the heart of a beast. If they hadn't lost their fighting abilities, they would have desired to take matters into their own hands and exact revenge on

Hadriel.

They were nearly tricked into killing Wanda by Hadriel before, and now, they were filled with regret.

Damon did not show any mercy toward Hadriel as he struck him on the crown of his head and ended his life instantly.
