Son-In-Law Gets an Upgrade

Chapter 1258 Incompetent Teammate 

The moment Alex’s words left his lips, Megan’s movements came to a halt. She immediately turned to look at Alex, asking. “Are you serious about what you just said? Where is it? Hurry up and give it to me!”

Megan then sneered, her gaze filled with murderous intent. “You’re lying to me again. How could you possibly have such a thing? Is toying with me amusing to you!

“This time, I’m not tricking you. I truly have that item. The blue crystal is very beautiful, and it feels cool to touch.” Fearing that Megan might not believe him, Alex quickly added more details.

Upon hearing Alex’s words, Megan was delighted. This brat really does have it. If I can get it, it’ll greatly enhance my strength to the point that I can conquer multiple cities without anyone being able to defeat me!

“Quick, give it to me. If you do, I’ll let both of you go.” Megan’s tone was much better than before, and her eyes were filled with longing.

“Are you really going to let us go? I’m still so young. I haven’t lived enough yet. Please, don’t lie to me!” Alex said deliberately.

As he spoke, his footsteps gradually moved in the interim. Because Megan wanted that tear, the surrounding darkness also dispersed.

Alex slowly moved toward the edge of the rooftop because the old priest said the formation that could trap Megan was downstairs.

“Of course, as long as you hand over that item to me, I will let you go immediately. I promise I won’t go back on my word. Since I’ve already agreed, could you please bring out that item for me to see?” Megan said with a smile and pleasant tone.

The old priest believed Alex was merely lying to stall Megan. After all, half-demons were rare. He had been a priest for eighty years, but none of the evil beings he encountered was a half-demon. Exclusive content from NôvelDrama.Org.

Moreover, the existence of a half-demon’s tear was questionable. Logically speaking, those who have passed away no longer possessed emotions or desires. Instead, those were replaced by ghostly and murderous desires. If they no longer possessed emotions, how could they possibly shed tears?

As the old priest listened to Alex’s vivid descriptions, even he believed that such a thing seemed to exist in reality.

This brat’s knack for deception is quite impressive. With such cunning, it’s no wonder he escaped the demon-trapping formation. He’s no ordinary person! thought the old priest.

It was quite a coincidence. Megan wanted Alex to bring out the tear, and Alex just happened to have it on him. Because of its small size and pleasant appearance, he had been carrying it with him all the time. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have used that item as a bargaining chip when negotiating with Megan before.

“All right then. I’ll show it to you now. Don’t forget our agreement.” Alex said, emphasizing his point, “I give you this item, and in return, you let us go.”

Megan showed a hint of impatience as she nodded. “Hurry up and show me, or I’ll tear this old priest into pieces right now.”

“You’re a girl. Why are you so temperamental? Don’t worry. I’ll show you right now.” As he spoke, Alex pulled out a small box from his pocket. He then opened the box, revealing a clear blue crystal within.

When Megan saw the blue crystal, her eyes widened in astonishment, and her face filled with longing.

The old priest had never seen the tears of a half-demon before, so didn’t know whether the object in Alex’s hand was real or not. However, he knew that Megan’s reaction wasn’t fake. He was unaware of how much the demon knew about those things.

Seeing that, the old priest cursed in his mind. Previously, he had thought that Alex was lying to deceive Megan. He hadn’t expected Alex actually to possess such a thing. Not only did this young man release Megan from the formation, but now he’s pulling out an object that can boost Megan’s power. He’s truly a terrible teammate. “You sh*tty brat! Motherf*cker!” The old priest could no longer hold back from hurling a barrage of insults at Alex. If he didn’t vent at that moment, he might never get the chance again,
