But immediately, the two women exchanged a glance, and Brina said solemnly.

"Saint Lord Alex, the two of us today truly do wish to become disciples under Saint Lord Alex’s sect. However, we request Saint Lord Alex to promise us one thing."

Alex waved his hand and smiled. "Niece Brina, whatever matter you have, just say it directly. Not to mention one thing, even if it were a hundred things, a thousand things, as long as Uncle can help, I am definitely duty-bound not to refuse!"

"Saint Lord Alex, we only have one matter." A trace of chilling coldness flowed through Leona Vire’s eyes.

"That is, kill Knox!"

Hearing these words, Alex froze slightly. Subsequently, he revealed a look of righteous indignation, saying solemnly.

"Two Nieces, this favor, I will not help with. Because even if you didn’t say it, I will definitely kill that treacherous, wicked, and petty person sooner or later!"

"That Knox relied on sweet words and honeyed phrases to deceive the trust of the major Saint families, leading the various Saint Lords to the Three Evil Buddhas and leaving them to be slaughtered. He is simply unworthy of being called human!"

Alex placed his hands on the shoulders of Brina and Leona respectively, saying solemnly. 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖

"Two Nieces, please believe your Uncle. Sooner or later, one day, your Uncle will definitely personally execute that treacherous dog to avenge Brother Cain, Brother Kray, and those colleagues who were harmed and killed by that Knox!"

Hearing Alex’s righteous and inspiring words, Leona and Brina were so moved that their eyes reddened and tears streamed down their faces.

They both knelt on one knee in unison, their voices resonating.

"In this life and this world, we swear loyalty unto death to Saint Lord Alex and to the Hale family, never regretting it until death!"

Hearing the two system notifications, a joyful smile curled at the corners of Alex’s mouth, very good.

These two women were indeed extremely important to Knox. Taking them under his wing was equivalent to severing Knox’s important left and right arms.

What made Alex even happier was that after subduing Leona and Brina, Knox’s Luck had been reduced by 60%.

As long as he chipped away his final 40%, Knox would lose his qualifications as the protagonist and lose the protection of the Protagonist Halo.

At that time, he wouldn’t need to fear the backlash of Heavenly Dao and could casually crush Knox like an ant.

To tell the truth, during this period, Alex had practically exhausted all his mental efforts just to scheme against Knox.

Alex didn’t hate scheming and battling wits against powerhouses.

On the contrary, he actually looked forward to it. Like the Evergreat Sword Ancestor, the Ancient Phoenix King, and other powerhouses who had stepped into the Saint Realm, Alex thoroughly enjoyed the back-and-forth duels with them.

However, Knox was nothing more than an ant at the Nascent Soul Realm. Moreover, he possessed every single unique flaw of a protagonist without missing one: selfish, arrogant, and obstinate.

For this kind of trash, who had no real abilities yet loved to act tough and show off, Alex could normally slap him so hard his soul would scatter with a casual backhand.

But it just so happened that this guy possessed the protection of the Protagonist Halo and the death-exemption gold medal of Luck.

This forced Alex to not only restrain himself from killing him, but also to play all sorts of mind games with him.

Playing mind games with this kind of ant was like spending three days laying a trap just to catch a tiny fly.

Whether in the eyes of others or his own, Alex felt like an absolute idiot.

But fortunately, his various layouts had finally yielded remarkable results.

The Luck on Knox’s body had been reduced by more than half.

As long as he continued his efforts, it wouldn’t be long before he could turn him into a cripple, then slap him into trash with a single palm to relieve the hatred in his heart.

...

As the strongest prodigies of the Ashen and Vire families, Brina and Leona’s cultivation had both reached the Mahayana Realm, on par with the Hale family elders.

But after all, they bore different surnames and had just joined the family without having established the slightest merit.

If they were directly entrusted with heavy responsibilities, it would likely cause dissatisfaction among prodigies like Julian and Lucas, who had made important contributions to the family.

Therefore, Alex had these two formally become disciples under Cedric and Lara respectively, serving as their direct disciples.

Once they had accumulated some qualifications and merits and became familiar with the Hale family’s situation, then he could consider letting them take on heavy responsibilities, such as Branch Saint Lords.

Returning to the Saint Lord’s Hall, Alex’s mood was immensely joyful. He temporarily disregarded resting and sleeping, simply opening the Providence Mall instead.

Right now, he held 400,000 Providence Points.

Although it was already a massive sum he had never reached before, it was stuck in an awkward range where it was too low for high-end items but too high for low-end ones.

He was currently at the peak of the Supreme Realm, a half-step Saint. Spiritual artifacts, secret manuals, and pills below the Supreme Realm were completely useless to him.

But using the Supreme Realm as the dividing line, the value of Saint-tier weapons, secret manuals, and pills above it all hovered around 500,000 Providence Points.

There were some relatively cheaper ones he could afford if he gritted his teeth, but they had absolutely nothing to do with the cultivation methods he practiced, making them of little significance.

Alex browsed for a long while but failed to find a desirable and suitable choice. Simply too lazy to think further about it, he chose to continue tackling the cultivation method in his hands, the Six Paths Wheel of Destruction Technique.
