Son-In-Law Gets an Upgrade novel Chapter 130

Chapter 130 The Relic Of The Divine Priest 

“Alex, what are you doing here?” Ginny asked, shocked. 

Alex sized both of them up and replied with a smile, recalling the conversation they had the day before yesterday. “Weren’t you guys the ones who told me you would get me a new job? I decided to drop by and see if Harry has gotten me a new job as promised.” 

“Oh… Why don’t you return home for the time being? I’ll get in touch with you once I’ve made the necessary arrangements,” Harry replied, shooting Alex a superficial smile. 

All along, he had been merely trying to fool Alex – Harry would never have gotten him a job. 

“Don’t worry! We will never go against our words since we’ve promised you such! After all, Harry’s the manager of the Project Management Department. It’s a piece of cake to secure the position of the security guard on your behalf,” Ginny guaranteed Alex on Harry’s behalf confidently. 

“Oh? Really? I heard you’re here for an interview as well, aren’t you? You’re applying for the role of the chairman’s secretary?” Alex turned around, grinning as he looked at Ginny. 

“Yes! After all, I’m an honorable undergraduate from a university abroad! I believe I possess the capability a secretary requires!” Ginny stated confidently. 

“Really? I heard the chairman of Four Seas Corporation is a real picky man.” Alex sized Ginny up, grinning as though he was suggesting otherwise. 

Harry’s face turned gloomy when he figured out the meaning behind Alex’s words, 

Similarly, Ginny grew irritated, grunting as she replied, “Oh, please! Can you please stop chairman? He’s not as filthy as you!”

Alex remained grinning silently thereafter. Before long, Harry and Ginny reached the designated floor and 

got out of the elevator on the third floor. 

“Hey, remember to join us tonight because everyone is anticipating the arrival of you and your wife at the gathering!” Before alighting from the elevator, Ginny reminded Alex. 

Alex remained silent, and he quickly recalled the gathering Wade was talking about the day before yesterday. He had been invited to join the gathering along with Heather. 

Alex had actually never been a fan of social gatherings of sorts because it was merely an event for those few who had made it in life to flaunt their achievement. 

Nevertheless, he wouldn’t mind keeping Heather company should she wish to take part in the event. Even though it would be displeasing, Heather was the only one Alex cared about. 

Once he returned to his office, Alex reached for the golden stone he had retrieved from the bronze coffin the night before. He couldn’t wait to get his hands on the truth behind the mysterious power of the stone. However before he could do anything, he received a call from the manager of the Human Resource Department. The manager told him that the recruited secretary had arrived and inquired if they should send her over to his office immediately. 

Since Alex was aware that the secretary they were talking about was Ginny, he was reluctant to hire her. Therefore, he decided to give Ginny a chance to prove herself worthy because he had been having a hard time recruiting a suitable candidate lately.

Once he made up his mind, Alex instructed, “Mm. Please bring her over immediately.” 

Once he hung up the call, his gaze landed on the golden stone once again.

“It seems like a stone, but it’s somehow different from a stone. I wonder what the heck this is…” Alex turned the stone around in his palm, knocking on it while murmuring to himself. 

“Huh? Could it be…” After staring at it for quite some time, Alex recalled a time he had previously come across a similar item on the Nine Heaven Scrolls. However, he had paid no heed to it as it was merely a random item categorized under the miscellaneous section. 

He reached for the Nine Heaven Scrolls immediately and flipped the sacred manuscript all the way to the final section. Soon, he found the picture of the same thing in the miscellaneous section. 

The relic of a Divine Priest! 

Alex was taken aback the moment he figured out the actual name of the stone. He had his eyes glued to the golden stone because it portrayed every characteristic mentioned in the manuscript. 

The relic refers to the remains of a Divine Priest once the priest passes on. It contains the essence of the Divine Priest’s Mortal Force. If a martial arts practitioner can cultivate the energy and fully assimilate it, it will greatly enhance their capability. 

He got worked up by the time he figured out the potential benefit of assimilating the relic. Alex couldn’t wait to figure out the method of assimilation prescribed further down the manuscript. 

The ordinary path for an ordinary martial arts practitioner is tough beyond words because they may have to spend their entire life practicing to reach the prime in life. However, there’s now something that possess the ability to increase the capability of martial arts practitioners overnight… Everyone will put their life at stake to obtain it… 

Suddenly, someone knocked on Alex’s door before he could finish reading the instructions from the manuscript. 

Alex frowned, feeling irritated because he was about to reach the best part. Nevertheless, he put the relic and Nine Heaven Scrolls aside, instructing Ginny to enter his office. 

“Sir…” 

Once Ginny walked into the chairman’s office, the identity of the person seated on the chairman’s seat shocked her – Alex was the one seated there.

“Y–You…” Ginny was utterly dumbfounded, stuttering. 

Alex is the chairman of Four Seas Corporation? How is that possible? Isn’t he the live–in son–in–law of the Jennings family? 

“What’s wrong? Are you shocked?” Alex teased upon detecting Ginny’s response because she seemed to be having a hard time comprehending the truth. 

Subconsciously, Ginny nodded in response. Once she regained her senses, she shook her head vigorously because she realized her reaction was inappropriate. 

“M–Mr. Jefferson, I’m so sorry for spouting nonsense against you previously. Please forgive me and pay no heed to the words of a foolish woman like me, Mr. Jefferson. I definitely didn’t mean to offend you!” Ginny returned to her ordinary self, bowing and apologizing immediately. 

Never would she have thought that the live–in son–in–law she had been looking down all along was the chairman of Four Seas Corporation who had never shown up in front of the media. 

It was evident to Alex that his identity as the chairman of Four Seas Corporation had taken her by surprise. If she had been aware of his actual identity, she would never have uttered such audacious remarks against him. 

“Take it easy, Ginny. I won’t devour you,” Alex replied, smiling. He eventually beckoned her over.
