Chapter 1064 Secret Forces

It hadn't been easy for Alex to bring Stanley to Lumenopolis with him, so he wasn't about to head back so soon. Realizing that he had been neglecting Stanley lately, Alex decided to make it up to him.. He brought Stanley to all the fun places in Lumenopolis to let the boy enjoy and relax himself.

While the two of them were having a great time in Lumenopolis, however, Alex noticed something strange. There was an increasing number of cultivators there.

It was incredibly rare for ordinary people to come across martial arts, to begin with, let alone cultivate Mortal Force. As such, Alex found it strange to see so many cultivators on the streets.

I've come across three first-phase Masters so far... It's very rare for Masters to show up in the real world, so there must be something fishy going on if I'm seeing three of them here all of a sudden.... In order to investigate this incident, Alex postponed his return to Nebula City.

As it would be inconvenient for him to conduct his investigation with a child by his side, Alex had no choice but to leave Stanley at his grandmother's place for the time being.

Having made sure that Stanley was all settled down, Alex began investigating the sudden increase in cultivators in Lumenopolis.

His phone started ringing all of a sudden. Alex answered the call without any hesitation when he saw Garett's name on the caller ID.

"M-Mr. Jefferson! I-I..." Garett stammered as he wondered if he should ask for Alex's help.

Naturally, Alex knew that Garett must have run into some kind of trouble. Patiently, he questioned, "Is something troubling you, Mr. Greaves? Feel free to let me know if that is the case!"

Garett let out a sigh as he said regretfully, "I knew you were a capable individual the moment you helped my family out, Mr. Jefferson. While I am not sure if you are able to help us resolve this crisis, I have been left with no other option. You are the only person I could think of to seek help from."

While Alex had no idea what the crisis was, he could tell from Garett's tone that the latter was unable to resolve it on his own.

"Please tell me what's going on, Mr. Greaves. I might just be able to help you out with that crisis," Alex said.

Realizing that he was probably dawdling a little too much, Garett decided to tell Alex everything that had happened.

Apparently, a group of powerful individuals had appeared in Lumenopolis all of a sudden. Each of them was able to take on multiple opponents at once. Some of them were so powerful that one could easily mistake them for a fictional character from a superhero movie.

They had taken over the prominent families in Lumenopolis and their businesses, forcing the latter to become their slaves.

Garett's son had a huge business in Lumenopolis, and their family was regarded as one of the most powerful ones in the city, so it was only natural that those individuals targeted the Greaves family as well. Those men had Tobias transfer all of his businesses over to them and forced him to obey their every command.

As Tobias had spent his entire life building those businesses up, he refused to just hand them over to someone else.

He had ordered the Greaves family's security guards and housekeepers to kick those people out, but they were unable to even put up a fight.

Tobias wasn't spared from the brutality either. Those men beat him up until he was severely injured and forcefully made him sign the transfer agreements.

The Greaves family was forced to choose between working for those men or completely losing everything.

Having run out of options, Garett decided to give Alexa call and see if he could help solve the problem.

Alex was very shocked after hearing Garett's explanation. Could it be that the secret forces have come out of the secret world?
