Chapter 1074 Return To Nebula City

"No, I wouldn't dare to do that. I didn't know of your capabilities previously, I've come to realize my mistake now. I'm sorry. I'll apologize to you." That man groveled on the floor and begged for Alex's forgiveness. Blood trickled down his forehead as he continuously knocked his head against the floor. Even then, he didn't dare to stop.

Alex didn't put a halt to his actions either and merely watched that man in silence. Only when the latter looked up again did Alex utter, "The second option I mentioned is for you to apologize to Mr. Greaves. Don't blame me for being ruthless if you fail to obtain his forgiveness.

Hearing that, the man hurriedly crawled over to Garett, apologizing and begging with tears in his eyes, "Mr. Greaves, I was wrong. I shouldn't have offended you, let alone hit you. This is all my fault. Will you please spare me?"

Garett was a kind-hearted person in the first place. Although that man hit him, he fully recovered after taking the medicine given to him by Alex. Moreover, looking at that man begging for mercy in that manner, Garett couldn't help but sympathize with him.

After resolving the Greaves family's issues, Tobias once again took over the family business. However, they didn't know when members of the secret world would show up again.

As formidable as Alex was, he was still a lone man and couldn't stand guard there at all times. Now that the people from the secret world had made their moves, Alex couldn't sit back and do nothing. He had to enhance his strength as soon as possible.

After wrapping his mind around the turmoil at Lumenopolis, Alex brought Stanley back to Nebula City. He needed to return to refine the Foundation Establishment Pill. Then, he had to rescue his father from Doomsday Prison before slowly settling the scores with those members of the secret world.

Stanley, who was initially in a good mood, gradually turned depressed once he returned to the villa as if he was afraid of something.

Preoccupied with the thoughts of crafting the Foundation Establishment Pill and saving his father, Alex didn't notice the change in his son's emotions. After dropping Stanley home, Alex headed our the door again.

Meanwhile, at the Jefferson residence, when Kate saw Stanley was back, she uttered sarcastically, "Ah, you little b*stard. You still know your way home, huh? I thought your dad took you away to enjoy a good life, so you won't come back anymore."

Kate felt exasperated, having to stay home for the past few days. Aler brought this b*stard along instead of me and my son. It seems like Alex regards us with lesser importance than he does Stanley. At that thought, her resentment toward Stanley intensified.

Stanley didn't dare to speak. He merely lowered his head and stood there in silence, like a child who had done something wrong.

Noticing his lack of response, Kate pouted in disdain and said satirically again, "You've gained some weight during these few days. I suppose you must've enjoyed some good food outside!" Stanley bit his lower lip, not daring to look up the whole time. He was afraid he might say something wrong and get beaten.

I've been talking for so long, yet he's just standing there like a log! Frustrated, Kate grabbed Stanley by his ear and shrieked, "Why are you standing there doing nothing? Don't you know you have chores to do when

you're home? Or have you gotten too comfortable outside and already forgotten all the household rules? Do you need me to teach you again?"

The little boy wept in pain but replied obediently, "I got it, Ms. Sutton. I was wrong. I'll start doing the chores right away."

Kate snorted. Only then did she release her grip on Stanley's ear. "If you don't finish the chores, you won't get any dinner tonight!"

Stanley dared not defy her order. He grunted in acknowledgment and began wiping the table with a rag.

On the other side, Alex gazed at the Alchemy Pot with anticipation in his eyes. A few hours had passed, and he reckoned the pill should be ready.

However, he didn't dare to open the pot. At that moment, he was overwrought, fearing he might've made some small mistakes during the crafting process. His effort would've been in vain if the end product was a failure.

After hesitating briefly, Alex braced himself and removed the lid. Seeing the black pill in the middle of the

he reached out carefully and took it out.

Without any hesitation, he swallowed the pill.
