The off-road vehicle had been hidden in the bushes on the mountain road of Fortpeth for more than five hours.
From time to time, Warner would use his binoculars to look at the main entrance of Pete Fort.
The cluster had just closed its eyes and rested. There wasn't the slightest bit of anxiety or worry. Together with the layers of quiet mountain forests that hung under the curtain of night, it reached a peaceful and tranquil state.
"Boss, Lita has been in there for five hours, why is there still no news?"
Warner knitted his brows.
"How come there is no movement at all? It causes a lot of noise! Didn't you see the Jaguar rushing out of Payt Castle three hours ago? It's enough to show that Lita saw the river Soldiers!"
Cong slightly opened his eyes and looked at the time on his wristwatch, as if he was calculating.
"But I have scanned it. There are only Xavier and Xan in that Jaguar. They are not Alex and Lita."
"That's right!"
Cong's eyes had just closed again, because he still needed some time.
"Boss, can I go to pick up Alex now?" Warner turned around and asked.
"Let's wait a bit longer!" The group of people replied indifferently.
It was silent for a long time again.
"Boss, do you think that Alex is really the son of Henry?"
Warner didn't belong to that type of person who loved gossip and meddled in other people's business. Only, this piece of information was just too shocking. That was why he asked this question. It was because if Alex wasn't Henry's own son, then this time, Alex really wouldn't be able to escape this disaster.
Alex wasn't the only one in danger. Even the lieer, Lita, was likely to meet with an unexpected disaster.
"What's wrong? Doesn't it look like it?" asked Cong.
Warner frowned and thought for a while. He must be recalling memories in his mind and putting together the picture of Alex and Henry in the same frame.
"If they are really father and son, why don't they feel anything for each other?"
"Your eyes have been blinded by hatred!"
Cong released a light sigh. It was also a different type of ridicule towards the river pond.
"Then how long do we have to wait? It's getting dark."
It wasn't a good thing for them, as they weren't familiar with the geography of Castle Petal.
"Don't worry... it should be soon!"
The knuckles and joints of the fingers hit the leg habitually, as if they were remembering the time.
"With the suspicion of Henry, the Jaguar that galloped out from Pete Fort must be carrying the blood sample of him and Alex. It will take at least three hours to go to the nearest hospital to do the DNA test. And there will be more than one. According to his violent temper, he will go to all the qualified hospitals in Britain!"
It seemed that he was a little impatient to wait, so he talked to Warner for a while.
"Boss, are you so sure that Alex is the son of Henry?"
Perhaps in Warner's heart, he still refused to believe this horrifying result. It seemed that if Alex became father and son, it would not be good for them.
"My real father may not be sure whether my son is his own son, but my real mother will definitely know who my son's real father is!"
When she said this, it sounded like he trusted her mother quite a lot.
"If Alex really becomes a father and son with Henry, wouldn't that be bad for us..."
It was Warner who spoke out his concerns.
"Don't worry. It's Alex's shame to have a father like Henry! He won't admit to it!"
As for Alex's temperament, Guan Gang still understood him.
F*ck*ng pervert!
Night, the darkness of the night, cannot help but make people a little scared.
The darkness was sometimes like an invisible pair of hands, which tightly held you. It seemed that the depression and pain were about to make you suffocate...
It was the darkness before dawn.
"Creak." The rosewood door made a heavy sound, as if Alex had opened the Gates of Hell.
Alex's consciousness wasn't that clear. After all, what flowed out was the blood needed to maintain life, and not an endless stream of tap water.
If not for the fact that Xavier had not heard the conversation between his foster father and Lita, and when he was retrieving the blood sample on Alex's body, he had been able to find a doctor to treat him as easy as lifting a hand, Alex would have already been a corpse by now.
"Alex... Are you alright? Wake up... Wake up..."
Alex heard a woman's voice coming from his ear. The voice was floating, as if it was far away but also close to his ear.
Then, he felt that the woman calling out to him was beginning to pat his cheeks. They were not heavy, but they were forcing him to wake up from the abyss of pain.
Alex really didn't want to wake up, because it would make him feel more pain in his body when he woke up.
"Alex... wake up... I beg you, wake up quickly... Lin can't live without a father... He is only 5 years old! He is so eager for father's love... You can't leave him alone... Alex, I beg you, wake up quickly."
The woman's cries turned into a low sob. She cried so hard that Alex's heart was in a mess.
"Lin! Lin! His child!"
"Lin... Lin..."
This name seemed to be infected with magic, forcing Alex, who was trapped in the abyss of pain and didn't want to wake up, to wake up.
A tear-stained face of a woman was reflected in Alex's eyes in a daze, and slowly became clear.
"Lita? Why are you here? You idiot... What are you doing here? You're so stupid!"
Perhaps Alex wanted to see a woman, but he didn't want to see this woman in the nest of the river station in Payt Castle.
Lita wiped away the tears rolling down her cheeks.
"Don't worry. When I send you out of Payt Castle, I'll get out of here! I'll get out of here and never show up in front of you Alex ever again!"
Lita didn't give up because of a man's abuse.
"I've always been such an idiot, haven't I?"
The love she craved to get by licking her face was supposed to be humble and self- conceited.
Lita couldn't blame the man for looking down on her because she even looked down on herself.
"Can you walk on your own? Cong should have just come out of the Castle of Pete to meet us..."
Lita wanted to hold the man in her arms, but she failed several times. The man's body was too heavy.
"Cang Cong has just arrived? What a son of a bitch... Why is he here so late?"
It seemed that the name "Cong" had given Alex a great source of power. He endured the sharp pain in his body and forced himself to move down.
Alex wanted to walk on his own, but as his body swayed, the strength in his body seemed to have been drained.
Lita quickly hugged the man's waist and tried her best to stabilize his body.
When they were about to leave the sacrifice room, Alex threw a burning candle at the wax figure.
Was she unwilling to forgive her mother?
Or did she not want to let her mother stay here to be blasphemed?
"I don't know!"
