Chapter 291 Mr Kline Gave Up

Did Mr. Kline just gave up?

The crowd stared at Damian in silent shock.

Did the mighty Mr. Kline just run off after getting intimidated by that young lad?

Everyone then turned to stare at Alex in utter disbelief.

With three decisive thumps of the auctioneer's gavel, Alex won the auction for the Monoceros bone.

After paying for it and receiving his goods, he got up to leave the place.

Before he could step out of the door, however, Maggie walked over to him.

"Damian's not an ordinary person, I don't think he's going to give up so easily. Take care and don't get yourself into trouble," Maggie reminded him.

The last thing she wanted to see was Breezeworth Hall's esteemed guest Alex Jefferson getting hurt because of that day's events.

Alex smiled. "It doesn't matter. He's just another name added to the list of people who's out for my blood."

Seeing how nonchalant he seemed, Maggie began to get curious. "I have a question for you if you don't mind."

She looked him in the eyes and asked, "Are you really a live-in son-in-law of the Jennings family?"

Alex glanced at her and smiled. "That's right and I'm pretty well-known in Nebula City."

His straightforward answer caught Maggie off guard, and it only made her even more determined to replace out the truth.

Why would a live-in son-in-law have so much money?

Knowing the Jennings family's predicament, they might not even have enough money to feed themselves, let alone fund Alex's extravagant expenditure.

The title of 'live-in son-in-law' might just be a smokescreen for something else....

After getting his hands on the monoceros bone, Alex went to the Sakura Club instead of his office.

After the revamp, the Sakura Club had become Charlie's dojo, where he would have the occasional sparring match with Flynn and the others.

Flynn had learned a lot from Charlie, who was a martial arts master.

Only a portion of the mana contained in the Monoceros bone would be needed to solve the Jones family's issues, while the rest would be absorbed by Alex to upgrade his Mortal Force. One's Mortal Force would be one of the deciding factors in a battle of strength, along with skill and technique.

After a while of practicing melee combat in the backyard, Alex managed to assimilate the mana in the bone into his Mortal Force. He left the Sakura Club after that.

He would have to make some preparations prior to meeting Tim, who was the strongest member of the Jefferson family.

As Tim would be accompanied by Shane, who would most definitely take his anger out on Alex's family if he could not be found, Alex decided to make his every move as public as possible. As such, he pushed the Jones family's predicament to the back of his mind first.

Meanwhile, at the Jones family's residence.

Damian sat on the armchair in the main hall with a cold expression.

His young junior, Lexa stood next to him in silence.

They had two goals to accomplish on their trip to Nebula City.

The first was to snag the Monoceros bone, as it was an essential material their mentor needed to ascend past the Master rank.

The second was to kill the man who messed up their mentor's curse.

The last thing they had expected was for someone named Alex Jefferson to pop out of nowhere and ruined their plans.

Even so, there was a silver lining, for Alex Jefferson happened to be the man they were after.

What a coincidence!

Desmond stood at attention beside them.

Knowing the reputation of the Mountain of the Beasts, the Jones family treated them with the utmost respect.

In fact, they had once requested for a geomancer from the Mountain of the Beasts to conduct a cleansing ritual for them, only to be ghosted by them.
