Alex's eyes rolled back in their sockets as his body started falling backwards.
He had lost consciousness before the strange purple sword could even hit him.
But of course, it didn't hit him in the end.
I controlled the swing so that it landed on the ground right in front of his crotch.
However, the cracked part of the ground made it clear that I didn't hold back my swing at all. If I had aimed it properly at him…his thing down there most likely would have been smashed by the strange purple sword.
After seeing him faint like this, I just gave a cold snort and said, "Did you really think that I was trash on your level?"
Without another word for him, I turned around and faced Haley's father who had been silent the entire time.
When he saw me looking at him like this, he couldn't help taking a step back.
The aura that I released was just too much for him and he could feel a mountain like pressure falling onto him.
Haley's father didn't understand how such a powerful pressure could come from a young boy like this, but he didn't question it. He had met plenty of powerful people before and he knew that this pressure was real.
To the side, Shaka also slightly narrowed his eyes as he looked at Zwein.
There was a strange look in his eyes as he looked at him.
After taking a moment to calm himself down, Haley's father said to me, "Don't you think that you took that a bit too far?"
The moment that I heard this, I gave a snort of disdain before saying, "You aren't qualified to be a father."
Haley's father's eyes opened wide and his mouth dropped down when he heard this. He opened and closed his mouth a few times as if he was trying to say something, but he wasn't able to say anything in the end since he couldn't think of any words to refute this.
Without waiting for him to say anything, I tossed the strange purple sword back to Jessica before moving back to Haley.
She had looked up slightly when I had gone over to slap Alex, so I could see her face now.
I could see those eyes that were completely red and swollen from the crying that she had done and it tore my heart apart. So I just pulled the coat up higher and covered her head with it before taking her hand again.
Haley realized what I had done and she gave a squeeze to my hand to thank me before lowering her head again.
No one did a thing until Shaka came over and said, "I think you'll want to see this."
I didn't know what he meant by this until he suddenly pulled out a packet of papers.
I knitted my brows slightly when I heard this, but I still took it and read what was written on these pieces of paper.
After I had finished reading them, I narrowed my eyes to look at him before asking, "Is this all true?"
Shaka just gave a simple nod to confirm this.
When I saw this, I couldn't help revealing a bitter smile before asking, "Why didn't you show me this earlier?"
Shaka revealed a faint smile that also had a trace of bitterness in it before saying, "I only got it this morning when we were heading to the caravan. I wanted to discuss this with you after we left the city so that no one would hear us, but it was clear that plan didn't work out."
Seeing the slightly bitter smile he had as well, I gave a nod in response. Then I handed the packet of papers back to him and patted him on the arm before saying, "I think that he should see these too."
Shaka looked at me with a slightly doubtful look, but seeing that I didn't react at all to this, he understood what I was thinking.
So with a nod, he turned around and walked over to where Haley's father was just standing there in a daze.
Haley's father didn't notice him at first until Shaka was right beside him.
When he turned to look at Shaka, he had a wary look since he had seen this man fighting just now. He knew that he was a powerful person that could take him out if he wanted to.
But Shaka just raised the pieces of paper in front of him and said, "You might want to see this."
Haley's father didn't take these pieces of paper at first as he warily looked at Shaka. But Shaka seemed like he didn't care whether he was going to take them or not.
Finally, Shaka gave up and was about to drop them on the ground.
It was only then that Haley's father suddenly reached out to take this packet of papers from him.
He kept looking at Shaka with the same wary look, but Shaka didn't do a single thing other than stand there looking at him with a calm look. It was as if he was just waiting for him to read what was written.
Finally, Haley's father couldn't take it anymore and he started reading through these pieces of paper.
As he read through them, his expression couldn't help changing.
There were various different expressions that filled his face as he read through the information.
There was a look of doubt, confusion, anger, sadness, disappointment, and utter disbelief. There were just all different kinds of emotions that filled his face.
But the final emotion that he showed was utter despair as he stared at the pieces of paper that he was holding in his hand.
He shook his head as if he was trying to convince himself of something, but then he just stared right back at them.
In the end, Haley's father slowly looked back up at Shaka with that same look of despair as he asked, "Is this true?"
