Son-In-Law Gets an Upgrade

Chapter 1225 Fulfilling The Promise

"I don't want to be the Sect Leader of the Raven Sect," the young man said, causing Damon to almost burst into angry laughter at his words. The position of the Raven Sect's sect leader was such a prestigious one, and yet, this young man in front of him showed no interest in th

role.

Damon believed that Alex's decision was surely due to his lack of understanding about the secret forces. If he knew what it meant to be the sect leader of the Raven Sect, he would definitely be pleading to take on the role.

"The secret forces possess Mortal Force cultivation techniques that the real world lacks, and it also has resources to enhance the Mortal Force that you can't access elsewhere. Are you sure you don't want to be the leader of the Raven Sect?"

Without any hesitation, Alex responded, "How many times do I have to say it? Sir, I really don't want to be the sect leader of the Raven Sect. As for those cultivation methods, I believe there is no technique in this world more powerful and comprehensive than the Nine Heaven Scrolls' all-inclusive cultivation technique."

As for those resources to enhance Mortal Force, Alex already possessed a condensed jade. Other things didn't serve much purpose for him.

If he really became the leader of the Raven Sect, everything he would do in the future would become particularly troublesome. He would also have to settle the matters of the secret forces. Why should he unnecessarily invite trouble upon himself?

This time, Damon was enraged. He had put much value on Alex, yet Alex turned out to be so ungrateful.

"Raven Sect doesn't necessarily need you to be the sect leader. If you don't want to be that, that's fine. I won't force you," Damon said, sounding somewhat disgruntled.

At that, Wanda tugged at Alex's clothes and asked, "Alex, why would you reject such a great opportunity? Are you really not going to reconsider?"

"I really have no interest in it at all. Why must you insist on making me the sect leader? I've already helped you deal with Hadriel's matter, from now on, you're the sect leader of the secret forces. Don't end up like Hadriel, or else I'll come after you. If there's nothing else, I'll

leave now." Alex said, preparing to leave.

With a hint of reluctance, Wanda gently grabbed Alex's arm, pleading, "Are you really not going to stay here for a while? Even just a few days will be good enough for me."

"I'm not. Stanley must be missing me at home. I want to go back and spend time with them." Alex said, preparing to leave.

Wanda knew that she would not be able to stop the determined Alex from departing. All she could do was watch him leave. Even though she was reluctant to let go of him, there was nothing else she could do. "Thank you, Alex," Wanda softly said, watching Alex's retreating figure.

Damon approached Wanda and asked, "Young lady, do you fancy that young man? If you de go after him! A man with such extraordinary talent and excellent character is hard to come by! What man could possibly resist your stunning beauty?"

The mention of that brought a wave of grievance to Wanda. "But he just doesn't have feeling for me. And it seems like he has someone he likes... Forget it, let's not talk about him. anymore."

After resolving the secret forces' case, the heads of the major families were deeply grateful for Alex's intervention. It was he who helped them reclaim everything they owned.

Only one person was not willing to accept this, and that was Shane, Alex's half-brother who shared the same father.

Shane didn't feel a shred of happiness within him. Instead, he felt an even stronger jealousy toward Alex.

Why should he be the secret forces' slave while Alex gets to be the great hero to the others? The more he thought about it, the angrier and more jealous he became, but there was nothing he could do about it. The only thing that could cheer him up was regaining control of the Jefferson family. With that, he could once again live a carefree life of luxury and indulgence.

After settling the matter with the secret forces, Alex went to the Jefferson family and relayed the situation to Zachary. When he mentioned that the secret forces had a third-phase Grandmaster, Zachary was taken aback. In fact, he found himself feeling fearful for Alex's safety even though the case was already settled.

Having made it back alive this time, it was time for Alex to fulfill the promise he made to
