《Legacy: Lord Alba》Chapter 40: Interrogation
Advertisement
After those words, An old man emerged from the shadows right in front of Audrey and Alexander, he had a kind smile on his face like a normal everyday grandpa which may fool anyone but his murderous aura around him proves he not kind at all.
Alexander saw the old man and smiled back: "Oh, you sound so sure about killing me," The old man raised his eyebrows at the sight of Alexander's calm face, and could not help but sigh while he shook his head, "Who would have thought that a five-year-old boy could be like that, the ninth concubine had a good son, pity you will die today."
Alexander saw that this old man ignored him and couldn't help but find that amusing, "Hey old man what makes you think that a miserable cultivator like you at the first stage of Realm of Qi Gathering can kill me."
The old man seeing this couldn't help but become enraged, but what worried him most was how Alexander saw through his cultivation level very easily, there were only two explanations for that either his cultivation being higher than his or there was an expert behind him. he refused to believe that a five-year-old boy could have a higher cultivation level than he did, so he believed that the third prince had some expert following him, So he turned around and ran away.
"Ohh, so you want to run away, Audrey, cripple his cultivation base and bring him back to me," Alexander ordered. he was very disappointed by this old man cowardice, he thought there would be some action and sport a practice fight for Audrey but things turned out this way.
"Yes," Audrey heard the order and went after the old man. After a few minutes, she caught up with the old man.

Outside the old man saw that the prince's companion was chasing him and couldn't help but feel some disdain, turning around he threw a fist at her as he assumed it would be enough to kill his pursuer and declared "You are not qualified to be my opponent, if you want to blame someone, blame yourself for chasing after me," but before he could feel satisfied he realized that she was no longer there, he felt that something was wrong but it was too late: "Shit".
He tried to retract his fist but it was too late, suddenly he felt a pressure in his chest, then he realized that the companion of the third prince was much stronger than him, he tried to flee but it was too late, the palm sent him flying several meters until he finally crashed on the pavement, there was a trace of blood coming out from the corner of his mouth with his complexion looking very pale. When he tried to circulate his Qi to stand up, he felt that the Qi he accumulated over many years was moving very slowly like it was under tremendous pressure, coming to a conclusion he stared at the person with the hood in disbelief, "You!".
But that person just grabbed his clothes and treated him as if he was just another load as she returned to the warehouse, meanwhile there was a five-year-old boy looting everything he could, only he had already emptied a third of the warehouse. seeing them Alexander said "Ohh, you're back I thought it would take you a little longer, you keep looting while I ask this old man some questions," with that the boy came in front of the old man, while Audrey nodded then released the old man leaving him lying on the floor and started looting everything and storing it in her spatial ring after a few minutes everything disappeared from the warehouse leaving nothing behind.

Alexander moved towards the half-dead old man and asked, "Hey old man I'll be direct, for the old man Walter to hire someone at Realm of Qi Gathering to guard this place, he must have either something very valuable or a part of his fortune hidden here, so I want to know where or what it is you are guarding here, and believe me I will make you answer my question by hook or by crook?"
The old man could barely say, "Fucking brat, you'll see what I'll do to you When I recover."
"Hey old man you still haven't realized you're no longer a cultivator in the Realm of Qi Gathering, in other words, you're a cripple" while saying that he kicked the old man's abdomen, "and for a cripple to threaten me, I don't know what he's thinking."
The old man groveled on the floor while spitting blood from the kick, and before he could say anything Alexander interrupted him: "Old man I already told you that you will tell me what I want to know, the difference will be the method used to get the answers be it the easy way or the hard way, if the next time you open your mouth is not to tell me what I want to know, I will assume that you chose the hard way," Then Alexander stopped talking, while looking at the old man with an icy look, When the old man saw that look he knew that this child is not to be taken lite of.
For the first time ever he regretted not running away at the first chance. if he did not stay to see who dared to steal from his boss, he would not be in this situation, all because of his blind arrogance and knowing that death awaited him he decided to talk. "At the end of the warehouse, in the right corner, there is an elevator which leads to an underground room where my boss keeps a quarter of his fortune."
Seeing that the other side was willing to talk Alexander asked him: "How many people like you did Walter have at his service?"
The old man with listless eyes replied: "Without counting me, there are four others, two in his mansion and the remaining two in the other warehouses."
Having gained what he wanted Alexander, bid him farewell "Thank you for your cooperation," at the end of those words the old man was put to sleep once and for all.

8 107Fortuna Verto
A girl’s luck changes when her world changes upon itself, sending her back and forth between a world she knows and another that shouldn’t even exist. Working with her parallel self from that other world, the two must adjust to their alternate form when visiting the other’s world, as they search for a way to escape the chains of misfortune they are bound to. While this story is the conclusion of the trilogy, it is also fully capable of standing alone in its own light, as the world of Celese itself is no longer a place the characters will be journeying through. However, the events of the story are a spoiler for all previous books, in case that matters to anyone. This book has an additional chapter after the final chapter that represents the trilogy conclusion, and should not be read until all three books are read first. Fortuna Verto continues the events of Essentia Animus to advance society into a sci-fi interpretation of Celese, bringing events to a distant world of another star. At the same time, events interpret a real-world advancement into a similar sci-fi age of another planet that shares Earth’s galaxy, a planet that has also been linked by the Celesi Veil. English remains predominant in both worlds of the story, but the presence of both sides makes certain Aethyx terms stand out, while Earth-styled scientific terms will also stand in a powerful contrast. Instrumentation remains an important aspect of the Elemental Era, but the influence of the gift has grown distant after discovering the superiority of the elements. Harnessing the elements had eliminated some of the original limitations of instrumentation, allowing for a self-sustaining focal source that provides solutions to problems such as automation. This turns the development available from the previous modern-day sense of a fantasy to one that is deep-future. Finally, opening access to the passage across the veil will open this progress in comparison to a very similar deep-future parallel world without such fantasy elements, contrasting the laws of physics with the laws of elements in a convergence of time and space.
