Alexander quickly returned to his previous composure and replied to his grandparents: "I have something to tell but first you have to calm Lewis".
Adam and Beth were there and wondered what secret to tell but Adam easily subdued Lewis until he calmed down anyway.
The false cultivators may not be able to use Qi at will but they had a much stronger body than the martial artists because of the qi in their bodies and the opening of the acupuncture points.
Only thus under the submission of his father Lewis calmed down and saw Alexander and said: "Who?"
Alexander calmly said: "Just follow the clues, Who was the master of the person in charge of the purchase of medicines in the palace? Who was the supplier of those medicines? What unexplainable events happened during those years in that circle of people?"
This left Lewis thinking and soon showed different expressions, Doubt, confusion, disbelief until he saw Alexander and said: "Is She?"
Alexander only nodded, leaving Lewis in bewilderment but could find nothing to think that this was a scheme.
He could only mutter, "Is that why she left?"
Alexander heard that murmur and said, "Partly but the main reason was that of an uncle, Joseph Webber."
Lewis only saw Alexander and Alexander calmly said: "They also did it with me and you think that with my uncle's abilities I could not see that his sister and nephew were in that condition".
"The reason they ran away is simple, they offended someone they shouldn't offend and like good scared shit they ran away for their lives."
"Did I not tell you before, to harass the weak and fear the strong. That kind of people will always have an end and that's Extermination because of their stupidity".
"If you don't believe me, you can go investigate and question those involved on your own."
When Lewis finished listening to Alexander's answer he could find nothing that told him that this was nothing more than a conspiracy against his beloved, so he clenched his fists tightly and with a thoughtful expression left the terrace without saying a word and at full speed.
(I hope this is only a misunderstanding Isabella otherwise ...)
Footsteps were heard and inside the palace was heard: "Bring that old man from Benedict In front of me!"
And then other orders were heard, making Lewis' voice little by little until he heard nothing.
Meanwhile, Adam and Beth who were on the sidelines did not understand what happened and Beth asked: "What happened?"
Alexander saw his grandparents and sighed: "The first time I saw my master was when I was two years old and it was a few weeks before the sects came to recruit the Kingdom and the first thing he told me was that both my mother, Audrey and I were poisoned".
"What? How is this possible?" said the elderly couple in disbelief.
Alexander raised his hand and said, "I know what you are thinking and it was not some kind of deadly poison but rather of the poisons that affect your cultivation. Apparently, my mother since she came to the kingdom was sold adulterated potions and instead of having the corresponding impurities, they were garbage potions with more than 60% impurities."
His grandparents saw it with disbelief but Alexander continued: "My mother took these potions every day even when she was pregnant with me and I don't think I have to continue because Lewis was furious".
Alexander at this point said, "Because what they did to me they did to the other concubines and children."
Adam and Beth were quietly meditating on what they had just heard and Adam asked: "This affected your innate talent, didn't it? and not only you but almost the entire third generation of the family?"
Alexander just smiled and nodded.
But this was like a revelation to them Before they wondered about the family had so few geniuses even though they wisely chose their son's wives but today it was all revealed.
It was all a conspiracy against the family
His family.
Both Adam and Beth were people who lived in war and their hands were not clean at all.
So unlike their son, they kept their composure but with a cold face and murderous intentions in their eyes they said: "Who?"
Alexander did not fear this pair of elders despite their murderous intent, as for him they were like puppies and he said: "Isabella Keer".
That's the only way they remembered the conversation a few minutes ago. Now it was all clear and their faces couldn't help but darken and he said, "Why did Benedict help?"
Alexander just shrugged and said, "How do you think your children became disciples of Marcial City?"
Adam raised an eyebrow and said, "Just for that?"
Alexander shook his head and said, "Grandfather, you must understand that the resources of a sect are not bad at all and because of this they have many experts but the condition to enjoy them is that their disciples have talent, Something that Benedict's children do not have".
"Because of this there are always people looking for a back door and if you investigate well Benedict's children entered Marcial City with a letter of recommendation from Francis Keer, Isabella's grandfather."
"But now the question is Why out of nowhere did Francis give a letter of recommendation to Benedict's sons? I don't know about you, but so that the Keers are not charitable souls who are giving away recommendations for me, Benedict did a favor for the Keers, but I don't know that favor would merit a letter of recommendation."
Alexander smiled at his grandparents and said, "What do you think? What favor could Benedict do you that the Keer family wants?"
Alexander had not even finished speaking but the murderous intent in his grandparents' eyes was very malicious in fact they were so angry that they just turned around and left with their son to face Benedict without saying goodbye to Alexander.
If their grandchildren are not talented because they were born that way it was acceptable but that this was the result of a conspiracy was unacceptable!
That Benedict now had to answer to them, meanwhile Alexander left the terrace in a good mood and couldn't help but smile: "I didn't expect this visit to the palace to be so productive".
So he saw the capital and said: "The only reason I left you alive until today was this my dear friend Benedict, I think it's time to take separate paths after all these past few years have not been anything good for you".
Before Alexander was waiting for an opportunity to reveal this and had not done so before because he thought that Lewis would unconditionally put himself on the side of Isabella thinking that this was Anna's scheme. Making his grandparents and Lewis have the greatest disagreement thus creating a hatred that could never be repaired for the rest of their lives.
But now he knew that Lewis was not evil or vile, he was just a hopeless person who put his hopes in the wrong people.
This was common in the world, A master puts his hopes in his disciple.
A father in his son, an old man in a young man.
Not all people achieve their dreams, goals, objectives. So they pass the baton to the younger generation for them to fulfill their dreams and even revenge.
"If I couldn't maybe he could..."
"I know I won't be able to see him but you will..."
"If you can remember me..."
"Maybe you can fulfill my greatest dream..."
Also, the other factor was that he fell in love with the wrong people but there was nothing to do about it, there were times when the heart would send itself and it doesn't matter when your brain said: "Don't fall in love with that person", The heart would ignore it.
Alexander in his previous life was a vagabond who traveled the continent and saw many scenes of Love, Rejection, Deception, and betrayal like the one he lived.
Some loves will never be anything more than platonic loves. Others will be passengers like the wind, Others will be weighed like gold in your pockets while others will be false like the caresses of a prostitute.
Very few loves are real and pure but these are the same as Phoenix feathers.
Thinking of this he could not help but think of a woman with whom he should never have fallen in love.
And he continued to think of the present situation.
For Lewis, these women gave him genius children so he consisted too much of them and put them in an even higher place by making him turn a blind eye and helping them by ignoring reality.
Adding that these were Lewis' first loves.
The only thing you can get is a fool who justifies any act of that woman. Because of the hope that a woman will give him a second genius.
Alexander, of course, wouldn't forgive his father for his special situation, after all, he tried to imprison his mother but that couldn't stop him from feeling sorry for Lewis.
He could not help but sigh and leave the palace for home.
Meanwhile, the Uri Republic, Department of Isabella Keer.
The door opened and the voice of a teenager was heard: "Mother, I'm back!"
Listening to the voice of her son Isabella who was on the couch he said: "Look buy a TV! now I can watch my novels quietly!"
So she pointed to a rectangle on the wall and Taylor said, "How much did it cost?"
And he stared at his mother with piercing eyes. Despite the years, Isabella was just as beautiful and adapted to the lifestyle of a mortal country.
In fact, now she didn't want to leave and go back to the caverns!
Isabella said cheerfully: "Quiet was on sale and I pay in installments of 10 months"
But Taylor just asked again, "How much did it cost?"
Isabella could only sigh and say, "499 silver coins, but he's the latest model!"
Taylor couldn't help but shake her head and say, "Why are you buying such useless gadgets!"
Isabella couldn't help but say: "They're not useless!"
Taylor walked out of the room and said: "If they don't serve to increase the strength they are useless!"
"Hmph, you're saying that because you're a cultivation maniac! "
Taylor couldn't help but see his mother and compare his to his childhood mother. They were totally different.
His former mother was intelligent, Noble, Refined, Arrogant and dominant but now she was a housewife who saw novels with such a generic plot and still enjoyed it.
he could not believe how far his mother had fallen. It is true that mortal countries provided comforts that one would never dream of in desolate lands.
His mother had fallen into worldliness.
Seeing his mother he could not help but ask, "Mother, will we ever return to the Alba Kingdom?"
This caused Isabella, who was playing with her new toy, to stop and see her son without knowing what to say.
So Taylor repeated the question and said, "Someday we'll go back to the Alba Kingdom? don't you miss my father?"
When he heard that his son was questioning his love for Lewis, he hurriedly said: "Of course I miss him, I miss him all the time, but...".
Taylor raised his eyebrow and said, "But what?"
Isabella squeezed her fists over her dress and said, "I don't know how to face him after what my family did."
Taylor startled and said, "Did the Keer family do something to my father?"
Isabella didn't know what to do when faced with such a question and couldn't help but show indecision until she saw her son see him with a penetrating look and sigh; "Taylor sit down I think you're old enough to know".
