Chapter 1118 Epitome Of Foolishness
Richard, not being well-versed in martial arts, had limited knowledge of the specifics. He simplyrecounted that the individuals who seized control of the Grant family had lightly touched the Grantfamily’s bodyguards, resulting in them being instantly electrocuted and rendered unconscious.
Confronted with such a mysterious and formidable technique, all those from the Grant family whoattempted to resist were similarly electrocuted and incapacitated. Richard himself was electrocuted andremained unconscious for an entire day and night before finally regaining consciousness.
Garett and Richard lived in rather remote places, which were not exactly within Lumenopolis.Therefore, Alex could only travel to Lumenopolis by car to explore and find out the truth.
In the remote area, there existed only one bus that provided transportation to Lumenopolis, with a fareof merely twenty.
After hopping onto the bus, Alex intended to catch a quick nap. However, as soon as he closed hiseyes, a middle-aged man settled down beside him.
The seats on the bus were arranged in pairs, and as soon as the man sat down, the space felt a bitcramped. It was mainly because the man was quite overweight, seemingly weighing over two hundredpounds.novelbin
Unable to sleep, Alex stared out the window at the scenery, his mind preoccupied with how to deal withthose people from the secret forces.
Alex was quite confident in his current strength as a first-phase Grandmaster. He was convinced thatthere wouldn’t be any formidable beings, even in the secret world where spiritual energy flowedabundantly.
He firmly believed that he possessed the necessary strength to hold his own in any fight.
Ever since advancing to the first-phase Grandmaster, even with the assistance of the nephrite badge,Alex still felt that his strength was improving too slowly. Only by continuously battling against expertscould he better stimulate his own potential, and thus, progress more rapidly in terms of strength.
Alex was deep in thought when that man suddenly bumped into him.
“Hey, young man, are you also heading to Lumenopolis? Judging by your small frame, you don’t seemlike someone who can do heavy labor. What are your plans?” the man asked Alex with a smile.
“Yes, I’m heading to Lumenopolis. I’m planning to find someone from the secret forces,” Alex casuallymentioned.
Upon the mention of the “secret forces,” the man’s eyes sparkled with intrigue as if he had discovered ashared topic of interest. “What a remarkable coincidence! My name is Zack Wallace, but since you’reyounger, you can simply call me Zack. I’m actually on my way to Lumenopolis as well. I have intentionsof applying for a position as a chef in the secret forces. While I may not possess an array of other skills,the dishes I prepare are undeniably mouthwatering. It would be an immense source of pride for me tocook for the deities in the secret forces, and to have my culinary talents recognized by others.”
Listening to Zack’s words, Alex finally understood that he had mistakenly thought that Alex, like himself,had come to Lumenopolis intending to work for those people from the secret forces.
It became clear that the people here actually held the secret forces in high regard, viewing them asdeities rather than bandits.
“They have caused so much havoc in Lumenopolis, so why would you still want to work with them?

People like that will inevitably be driven away,” Alex remarked with indifference in his voice.
A look of fear washed over Zack’s face. He swiftly surveyed his surroundings and covered Alex’smouth, whispering urgently, “Young man, given our fated encounter, I must caution you againstspeaking so freely about such matters. The affairs concerning the deities of the secret forces are notmeant for us ordinary people to discuss openly. You must be from out of town, unaware of the situationhere, Nowadays, most people in Lumenopolis have taken the secret forces’ deities as their religion,and they don’t allow anyone to defame them. If the followers of the secret forces heard your words,they would cut off your tongue!”
Alex recalled his words, which didn’t really defame the secret forces. However, he had no idea thecasual comment would cause him to get his tongue cut off.
He was quite curious about the people from the secret forces. On one hand, they forcibly seized powerfrom prestigious families and engaged in ruthless killings behind the scenes. Yet, on the other hand,they arrogantly portrayed themselves as self-proclaimed deities in public, attracting a following ofmisguided followers.
Alex found their behavior to be the epitome of foolishness.
Throughout the journey, Alex learned a lot about the people of the secret forces from Zack’s stories,and he couldn’t help but admire their impressive way of winning people’s hearts.
