Son-In-Law Gets an Upgrade novel Chapter 159

Chapter 159 

A jolt of shock coursed through Alex’s body. No wonder I wasn’t able to get ahold of him! He’s actually in trouble! 

“Alright! I’ll be right there!” Alex said in his baritone voice as his eyes began gleaming maliciously. 

The person on the other end then promptly hung up. 

“What’s wrong?” Flynn and company asked Alex upon seeing the malicious glint in his eyes. 

“We’re going to the Western Gardens Manor,” Alex announced as he got to his feet and started walking out. 

“Will we need backup?” Flynn asked, 

“Bring as many men as you can. I’ll head down first while you go gather them. Wait for my signal after you guys have reached,” Alex instructed. 

“Okay.” Flynn nodded his head and proceeded to task Bob with gathering the men. 

Jack caught up with Alex and asked, “Do you need me to use my connections within the government?” 

Alex shook his head. “Go back, Jack. It’s fine. You won’t be able to solve this.” 

Alex got into his R8 as he spoke and quickly sped off towards the Western Gardens Manor. 

After giving it some thought, Jack still thought that he should head down to the Western Gardens Manor with Flynn. 

He had a feeling that this had something to do with Alex’s true identity. 

Actually, he had always been rather curious about who Alex really was. I’m finally going to have some clue as to who he is, he thought. 

But of course, he was just purely curious about Alex’s identity. It wasn’t like he was investigating Alex or anything.. 

The Western Gardens Manor wasn’t that far away from Happy Living. Alex arrived at his destination in about half an hour. 

He parked his car outside the manor and proceeded to walk into the place. 

The entire manor was beautifully lit up. There were several guards on duty by the main gates. 

Upon spotting Alex, one of them asked, “Are you Alex Jefferson?” 

“Yeah.” Alex nodded. 

“Follow me,” the guard instructed after studying Alex from head to toe and proceeded to lead him into the 

manor. 

Both of them soon came to the living room. 

At that moment, there was a middle–aged man sitting in the living room and sipping tea with an aloof expression on his face. Standing behind him were five to six young men. 

These young men had serious expressions on their faces and didn’t look like ordinary people at all. Judging by the way they carried themselves, it was quite clear that they were martial artists. 

On the other side of the living room was an old man tied to a pillar. He was bleeding all over and looked like he was on the verge of dying. 

Upon seeing the old man, a malicious glint flashed across Alex’s eyes.

“Sir, the guy you were talking about has arrived,” the guard reported to the middle–aged man. 

That was, however, unnecessary as the middle–aged man had spotted Alex by now as well. 

“Mr. Jefferson, do you still recognize me?” the middle–aged man taunted. 

“Are you the only one sent here by Susan to get killed, Reuben?” Alex snorted. 

This middle–aged man’s name was Reuben Fuller. He used to work for Alex’s father. 

Alex could still remember how strong Reuben had been back then. However, having practiced the Nine Heaven Scrolls and absorbed the Mortal Force inside the Divine Priest’s relic, Alex had grown a lot more powerful as well.
