Chapter 1109 Do Not Call Me Master

"Dad, you bought so many things. It's like you almost emptied the entire toy store!" Alex said, looking at the mountain of toys and could not believe his eyes.

Zachary waved his hand casually. "Since I'm meeting my grandson for the first time as his grandfather, I should definitely buy more things. Besides, I don't know what Stanley likes! If I get more, he can choose what he wants to play with."

Alex chuckled dryly a couple of times, hesitating whether or not to tell Zachary that he had another granddaughter who was just a few months old. Perhaps, he would even buy a bunch of things for her. After pondering over it, Alex chose not to bring up the matter. Instead, he planned to give Zachary a delightful surprise.

As the two people finished their shopping and were about to take a ride home, Alex felt someone following them. Turning around, he saw Wanda peeking out with her little head, looking in their direction. When she noticed Alex had turned around, it was already too late for her to conceal herself. The reason she had managed to trail Alex for several days without being detected was that she was still a hybrid being -half-human, half-animal, during that time.

Cats possess hearing and reaction abilities seven times more acute than those of an average person. Coupled with her exceptional ability since she was a peak-phase Master, Wanda was able to move silently However, that ability had diminished.

"Why are you following me? Are you tired of living?" Alex glared at Wanda, his voice cold and icy

Alex's tone, for the first time, left Wanda feeling disheartened. With a look of anguish on her face, gazed at Alex and pleaded, "Master, please don't abandon me. I possess the strength of a peak third- Master now, and I can be incredibly helpful. I promise I won't cause you any trouble."

At this moment, Jade suddenly spoke up in his mind, "That's right! Master, why don't you let her stay? When you're out handling affairs, she can protect your family. Wouldn't that be killing two birds with one stone?"

Upon further consideration, Alex acknowledged Jade's perspective. While Flynn could currently assist in taking care of Stanley, he was ultimately an ordinary person. If confronted with martial artists, the chances of winning would be slim to none.

"Since you're adamant about following me, you might as well stay! Just call me Alex. The term 'Master sounds a bit awkward," Alex said.

Upon hearing this, Jade was utterly confused. I called him "Master" too, but why didn't he say this to me?

Despite existing for over three thousand years, Jade remained in the form of a pendant. In the absence of anyone discovering its true nature, it was confined to residing within the jade. Alex became its second

master.

Due to its limited understanding, the jade pendant did not grasp the hidden implications when a beautiful woman referred to a man as her "master." Onlookers who overheard such a statement might assume they were in a bizarre and intimate relationship.

"All right, Alex." Wanda obediently replied.

Zachary, who was standing to the side, watched everything without saying a word. As someone who had been through it all, he did not want to meddle too much in the young people's love affairs.

In his youth, he had married two wives himself, so he perceived it as normal for a capable man to have multiple women. Furthermore, considering his son's exceptional genius, it would be strange if he did not

attract women.

While inside the car, Wanda shared her story with Alex. She revealed that her name was Wanda Snyder, and she, too, was a cultivator of Mortal Force. Despite her immense talent, her family had never recognized her worth simply because she was a girl.

Due to the lack of recognition from her family, Wanda resorted to sneaking into their secret realm and stealing a cultivation manual about Mortal Force. Her intention was to practice it in secret. However, she underestimated the technique's immense power, which exceeded her capacity to handle it. This ultimately resulted in her falling victim to demonic possession.

Upon fleeing from her family, Wanda never anticipated being captured by their rival forces. The influential figure behind it all seemed to be involved in something significant, although she remained unaware of the exact details. All she knew was that they were in dire need of money, which led them to auction her off to make some money.

At the auction, Wanda immediately noticed the jade pendant on Alex's neck, and that was why she got rid of Giovanni and decided to follow Alex.

As she finished sharing her experiences, the car pulled up at the Jefferson residence. Following closely behind was a small truck loaded with toys, intended as gifts for Stanley.
