Son-In-Law Gets an Upgrade

Chapter 1254 Weakness

Since the corpses possessed the same abilities as Alex, it was highly likely that they also shared some of his weaknesses.

Despite not being able to identify his own weakness, Alex knew he had to find a solution. His only way out of the place was to confront and defeat dozens of his own replicas.

Upon recalling the talismans on the corpses in the stairwell, Alex wondered if there were also talismans behind the corpses in front of him. Could defeating them be as simple as tearing their talisman off like before?

After considering his options, Alex positioned himself in front of one of the corpses. Soon after, he was surrounded by a horde of his own corpses.

Although somewhat uncomfortable, Alex suppressed his uneasiness. Gritting his teeth, he immediately went to secure a corpse.

It was the first time he hugged himself, which felt pretty unpleasant.

He had just embraced a corpse when the other thirty-one also rushed toward him and enveloped him. He was squeezed so tightly that he could hardly move, almost to the point of being unable to breathe. Suppressing the uncomfortable feeling, Alex reached his hand into the corpse's coat to search for the talisman. However, he didn't detect any.

Immediately, the corpse that he was hugging began to grope his body, sending a chill down his spine! I've lived for over twenty years, and this is the first time I've been taken advantage of by myself. I don't even know what to say about this!

Since the talisman couldn't be found, things have become rather difficult. The only way out for him was to defeat all the corpses.

Desperately pondering his weaknesses, Alex finally came to realize the vulnerability that all men shared, the thing they feared the most.

It was said that being kicked in the nuts was even more painful than childbirth, a sensation Alex never experienced. If he were to use that method there, it would be thirty-two times more painful. Even if he didn't die, his testicles would be destroyed, and he certainly didn't want to end up like David.

Unable to think of any other solutions, Alex gave his plan a shot. Using his Mortal Force, he materialized a wooden paddle-like object about twenty to thirty centimeters long.

Upon becoming a Grandmaster, one could harness the ability to manifest their Mortal Force as illusory effects. An example is the golden effect that would appear in Alex's palm when

he was engaged in combat.

When he was young, he always practiced martial arts with his father, Zachary. Back then, Zachary was much stricter with him than he was with Stanley.

Every day, Alex, who was only a few

years old was required to wake up at five o'clock for a morning run. If he overslept, he would be punished and had his hand slapped by Zachary with a wooden paddle.

Hence, Alex still felt a bit scared whenever he saw a wooden paddle because he would relive the scenes from his childhood.

While he could manipulate his Mortal Force to create a wooden paddle, those corpses, though identical to him in appearance, lacked such ability.

With a wooden paddle in hand, Alex

approached the corpses. When he got within five meters of them, the corpses no longer mimicked Alex's forward movement. Instead, they seemed to retreat a few steps back in fear.

Sure enough, the corpses shared the same abilities and innate fear of wooden paddles as Alex.

Using the wooden paddle in his hand, Alex pushed the bodies aside without delay. The corpses stepped aside, revealing a door leading to the rooftop.

Since there are so many corpses blocking this door, it must be the exit to the outside! As Alex was almost out, he quickly retracted the wooden paddle in his hand.

If people were to discover that, despite being a Grandmaster warrior, he feared nothing except a wooden paddle, they would undoubtedly burst into laughter. Alex had barely opened the door when a red figure darted out ahead of him. That figure was none other than Megan.

"I'm free! I'm finally free!" Megan said excitedly before bursting into uproarious laughter.
