StarNovel
Chapter 1205
Heather doubted the secret handbook's authenticity the most because Alexander had not come looking
for her even after such a long time. She had spent so much time and effort to steal the secret
handbook. Logically, Alexander should go all out just to retrieve such a crucial lost item.
She put herself in Alexander's shoes and concluded that she would search every corner of Kingsland if
she had lost something so important to her.
However, Alexander was so calm, as if nothing had happened. Ralph said Alexander did not look for
him at all, which meant he did not care about his lost handbook.
There was only one reason for Alexander's indifference-the secret handbooks Heather and Ralph stole
were fakes. If Alexander could set up a trap for Ralph, Heather believed he would also set one up for
her. i
After calming down and thinking things through, she figured out many things.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"The real secret handbook is still with you guys." Heather continued after she sucked in a deep breath
and cleared her cluttered mind.
However, Lily just stared at her before she shook her head slowly.
That was out of Heather's expectation, stunning her for a moment before she said in disbelief, "It's not
with you guys?
That's impossible! Where is it, then? You guys didn't destroy it or ask someone else to keep it, did
you?"
"No," Lily replied faintly, 'That book doesn't exist at all."
"Impossible!" Heather exclaimed. She would only believe this over her dead body and sneered again,
"Why do you need to make up such a stupid reason to lie to me? I'm being frank today in our
discussion, and I even told you about my twin sister's existence. Plus, I was just asking about the
secret handbook. It's not like I'm going to ask you to give it to me. What are you so afraid of?"
"Hey, why do people always believe in lies but not the truth? Don't you find it funny too?" Lily spread
her hands, signaling she was telling the truth, but Heather was unwilling to believe it.
"You... No! It's impossible!" After some hesitation, Heather denied the possibility that the book had
never existed. How could she believe that? Soon, she voiced her suspicions, "If the secret handbook
doesn't exist, how could Alexander become so skilled in such a short time?
"How could he be so powerful? He's hiding the book, afraid I'll take it away. Also, my grandpa was the
one who told me that the Russell family has a secret handbook. He couldn't have been wrong about it!"
"We don't even know when the rumors about the Russell family possessing a secret handbook got out.
However, it wasn't bad for the Russells because they might get oppressed if they didn't know how to
combat when they had such a huge family business.
"When the outsiders believed that there were skilled fighters within the Russell family, that became a
form of protection for them. Although the kickboxing industry has regressed, people are still looking for
trouble. I'm sure you understand this better than anyone else, Ms. Riggs."
Besides the Riggs family. Heather had seen how the Lodge family suffered from various provocations

"As for Alexander's combat skills..."
Lily recalled when she asked Alexander about this because she did not expect him to be so skilled in
kickboxing. He had never mentioned it before, either.
When the Lodge family was going through their crisis, he did not reveal his ability, too, so she was
surprised to learn that he was even more skilled than she was.
Later, he told her, "When I was younger, my grandpa said he wanted me to learn some self-defense
skills one day. I thought it was similar to what the other kids were learning, like basic boxing skills.
"However, he sent me to this church on a mountain one day, and I got a priest as my teacher. Besides
teaching me some basic fighting skills, he would sometimes teach me some Bible proverbs. I did not
understand everything completely back then, but my teacher said I was smart and understood things
quickly."
