Alex thanked Stannis, and at the same time did not intend to hold a grudge against Daphne. His yearsin Nebula City had forged his tolerance.
After their meal, Alex and his two companions returned to their accommodation. Along the way, Maggiesuddenly asked, “Aren’t you usually a lot more trigger-happy than this? Why were you soaccommodative to that b*tch, Daphne, today?”
“There wasn’t a need to,” Alex replied carelessly before turning his attention to Stanley. “Did youenough to eat today?”
Stanley patted his bulging belly. “I’m stuffed! I want to go out for a walk, Daddy.”

Maggie raised her hand at once. “I second Stanley’s suggestion.”“
Looking as if they had rehearsed it, they even exchanged winks and a fist bump.
“I hear a lot about children going missing when they go out for walks, and nothing ever comes of themdespite the police reports made,” Alex remarked.novelbin
When he was having a cigarette outside with Stannis earlier, Stannis had reminded Alex to be warywhen he noticed the latter traveling with a child.
“You should come with us and be our bodyguard. I’ve seen your moves. We have nothing to be afraidof with you there!” Maggie said, laughing as she gave him a playful smack.
She does have a point. I am indeed a Master. If Stanley draws unwanted attention, I can easily teachthem a lesson.
After a lengthy discussion, the trio settled on taking a walk to ease their digestion.
Atop Green Mountain Monastery sat an old monk in his late seventies. He was clad in a robe made ofgold thread and looked as if he was engulfed in a shimmering light.
Seated in meditation with his eyes closed, he mumbled a mantra under his breath, giving one theimpression of being a pious and devout Divine Priest.
After the devotees left, he opened his eyes and stood up to address the younger monk beside him.“Did Antoine really get beaten up?”
Noticing that Fonzo was addressing him, the younger monk did not dare hold back. He told the formereverything.
Fonzo’s brow crumpled at the news. It was the first time in his many years in Green MountainMonastery he had encountered something of this nature.
There used to be legions who would come to curry favor with me. Now, somebody shows up to causetrouble! This fellow plainly does not show me, Fonzo of Green Mountain Monastery, any respect.
“Are you absolutely sure that young fellow broke all of Antoine’s bones in a single punch?” Fonzoasked.
“Absolutely. Master Antoine has been admitted to the hospital. Though his condition has stabilized, hecan never leave his bed again,” the young monk mumbled, terrified of being the recipient of Fonzo’sredirected anger.
Fonzo was livid. He kicked something on the floor and sent it crashing into an oil lamp.
The lamp fell to the ground, scattering ashes everywhere. The so-called Divine Priest, Fonzo, did noteven spare it a glance.
A pawn that had lost its value was no longer useful to him. Fonzo was not planning to visit Antoinealthough the latter had all his bones broken.
“Useless thing. I spent three years nurturing him, and he shattered from a single punch. Go and findout who this person is,” Fonzo ordered coldly.
Not daring to delay, the young monk dashed out to ascertain the truth of the matter.
