Chapter 2455


    “I don’t know, the bridge had been cut in half when I got there. There was also arge barrier blocking


    my way. If my assumptions are correct, that barrier was a formation boundary ced by ancient,


    powerful beings… To protect this world.”


    “This barrier was very strong, even stronger than the one in the ancient boundary. That’s why the


    Olympus Tribe got blocked out.”


    Daya paused for a moment.


    “The barrier was blurry, but I managed to see the people inside when I stood on the bridge,” she went


    on.


    “What?”


    “Someone’s beyond that barrier?”


    “Are they gods?”


    Even Alex’s face was stered with curiosity.


    Daya shook her head. “Nope, they’re demi-demons.”


    Everyone fell silent.


    Daya smiled faintly. “Actually, the so-called Divine Envoys are demi-demons too! Their true forms were


    that of demon beasts, and they aren’t from the true Olympus Tribe. I’m guessing that these beasts


    were domesticated by said tribe, so they currently serve them!”


    “More importantly, it would be quite difficult for these demi-demons to cross the barrier. Even if they did,


    they’d have to make big sacrifices. Higher-ranked demi-demons would be in more danger if they tried


    crossing worlds.”


    “How are you sure about that?” Alex asked


    Daya replied, “When I got up there, the demons in that barrier wanted to attack me. I’m assuming that


    they didn’t want me telling anyone about this secret, and they wanted to shut me up by killing me.”


    “But then… When five of those demons rushed over, four of them died from a lightning strike, and


    another was so badly injured that it returned to its original form and I ate it.”


    ‘Uhm…’


    Everyone looked at the peacock meat in their hands, thinking it was only reasonable to do so. Demon


    meat was just too nutritious. Some of them were unable to control their powers from ascending after


    eating this peacock meat.

    Alex turned to Daya. “I’m not sure if the barrier’s effects would wear off with time, so I’d like to take a


    good look at it.”


    Daya nodded. “Alright, I’ll go with you tomorrow then!”


    It was already 2 am at the time. Regr folk like Hailey were starting to feel sleepy, yawning


    repeatedly. Hence, Alex suggested ending this meeting, for now, so everyone could go home and rest.


    The others who lived far away were invited to stay at the manor as well.


    Just as they were about to leave, another incident urred. The Millers and Hendersons had arrived.


    As extremely wealthy ancient families, they never saw Alex as an equal from the start. Not feeling the


    need to sneak in, they walked right in as if they owned the ce.


    “The Millers and Hendersons are here to pay a visit! Mr. Rockefeller, I know it’ste, but if you would


    please,e out here and have a talk with us!”


    The voice was as loud as thunder, causing a slight earthquake around the Rockefeller manor.


    Everyone inside was shocked.


    Soraya whispered, “The Millers and Hendersons? Are they the allies of the Hancocks?”


    Geronimo replied, “I’m afraid they’re the only ones who’d do this.”


    Alex raised an eyebrow.


    He was waiting for the Divine Envoy of the Olympian Army, yet the Millers and Hendersons came by


    first. From what Shirley told him, these two families were important factors to enter the Dairaionji


    Temple as well. He couldn’t proceed without both of them.


    However, he didn’t expect them to appear right now before he could even go looking for them.


    Before Alex could speak, Geronimo spoke up. “If you know howte it is, wouldn’t you know that it’s


    disturbing our rest? Come again tomorrow if you have something to say!”


    An old woman’s voice came from outside. “I’m rather old, and it’s not easy for me to travel this much.


    Please juste out here, Mr. Rockefeller, or we’d have no choice but to force our way in.”
