Son-In-Law Gets an Upgrade

Chapter 1224 Not Interested 

Having settled this matter, and with Wanda’s return, Alex also planned to clarify the matter of the nephrite badge with Damon.

Right then, Wanda poked Alex and asked in a low voice, “What’s going on? Why didn’t he k you? Why did he kill Hadriel instead?”

She had thought that upon her return, she would have to die with Alex. She never expected things to turn out this way. Wanda was both shocked and delighted.

Alex smiled and patted Wanda on the shoulder, saying, “I’ll tell you later. I need to clarify something with him first.” Content rights by NôvelDr//ama.Org.

Wanda nodded. To be honest, she was very curious about what Alex wanted to say to the old man.

“Sir, this nephrite badge in my hand is not mine. It was given to me by Wanda for safekeeping. She is the true owner of this nephrite badge and the one the leader of Raven Sect truly wishes to pass on his position to,” Alex said to Damon.

Casually tossing Hadriel’s body to the side, Damon looked at Alex with a hint of surprise. He hadn’t expected this young man, whom he held in high regard, to not be the owner of the nephrite badge.

But being able to clarify this matter signified that he wasn’t driven by personal desires. If he chose not to explain, the secret forces would be his. The more Damon observed the bold young man, the more he liked him.

It seemed like he felt that it was a pity Alex was not the true owner of the nephrite badge.

“But now, this nephrite badge is in your hands, and that makes you the leader of Raven Sect.” Damon still wanted to try to convince Alex to be the sect leader, for he couldn’t bear to give up on having a sect leader who had both excellent character and strength.

Upon hearing the words of Damon, Alex showed no hesitation as he returned the nephrite badge in his hand to Wanda.

“That’s not the case anymore. Wanda is now the true leader of the Raven Sect. This has nothing to do with me,” Alex quickly said.

The way he had hastily returned the nephrite badge back to Wanda was as if it was a hot potato he did not want to hold on for a second longer.

The nephrite badge symbolized the succession of the Raven Sect, for which Hadriel did not hesitate to kill his father and brother to obtain. He wanted to attain the pinnacle of power.

Yet, Alex easily gave the symbol of power away to someone else.

Damon was left speechless by the scene before him. He hadn’t expected Alex to be so ungrateful and oblivious. Couldn’t he see what he was trying to convey?

“The Raven Sect has never had a female sect leader. Wanda isn’t suitable for the role.” Dam was determined to make Alex the sect leader of the Raven Sect.

Who would have thought that the words spoken by Alex almost made Damon choke on his own rage?

“The Snyder family has been decimated by Hadriel, leaving only Wanda as a viable choice. And now, you’ve killed Hadriel too. Apart from Wanda, who else is there to choose from?” Alex explained.

Damon’s face turned purple with anger. If it weren’t for all the disciples of the Raven Sect present here, he would have blurted out, “I want you to be the sect leader.”

How could Wanda not understand the old man’s thoughts? She also thought that Alex was a good choice. Rather than giving the nephrite badge to someone else and letting them become the leader of the Raven Sect, it would be better to let Alex take up the role. After all, the man in front of her had saved her several times.

A smile graced Wanda’s face as she placed the nephrite badge back into Alex’s hand, saying, “Alex, you’re truly the one who is most suitable to be the leader of the Raven Sect.”

Damon, upon seeing Wanda’s actions, silently nodded in approval. This little girl is quite sensible. Not bad, not bad. Alex probably won’t refuse this time.

Alex glanced at the ink-colored dragon-shaped nephrite badge in his hand, but a glance was all he took before he impatiently handed it back to Wanda.

“What are you all up to? Haven’t I made myself clear enough? I have absolutely no interest in being the leader of the Raven Sect!”
