Chapter 138: Alex, You're Invited to Die!
In the dark room of Starfall City, Old Corleone stood with a cold look in his eyes: "The grudge with the Morgan family — it's time to settle it!"
Darwin General sat beside him and said, "What right do you have to act? Natalia and the Corleone family are no longer connected."
Old Corleone sneered and pulled out his phone. He showed the message from Evelynna asking for help. "So what if Natalia and the Corleone family are not connected? Evelynna is by Logan's side. That's enough reason for me to act."
Darwin raised an eyebrow and handed Corleone a stack of invitation letters. "You old fox. I knew you had your own plan when you helped Evelynna rise."
Old Corleone took the letters and looked surprised. "What's this?"
Darwin smiled and picked up his tea cup. "The Military Committee won't get involved in this. You know what I mean. No matter what happens, the federation can't fall into chaos. That's our line. As for who becomes chairman, I don't care."
Old Corleone clenched the letters and said seriously, "Don't worry. This time, I'll get the Morgan family out of the council."
Darwin raised an eyebrow again. "Are you going to tell Natalia the truth about the past? That old monster down below isn't easy to deal with."
Old Corleone sneered. "Some people should be buried in history — not sucking blood from the whole human race."

Evelynna knelt before Nancy Priest and Shaya Priest, bowing sincerely and thanking them.
Nancy Priest and Shaya Priest looked at each other, then sighed. "May the gods bless the people. May the holy light protect you."
After that, a line of Temple knights walked out behind them and followed Evelynna as she left.
…
Three days later, in the evening.
Morgan Castle was full of flowers and colorful lights.
Dancers and artists performed on stage.
Delicious food was placed on tables.
Even just around the outside of the castle, it was already very lively.
Logan walked with Yelena and Sawako and a few other girls through the castle square. Everywhere he looked, there were familiar tamers he had seen at the Federation Familiar Ranking Competition.
These people had just left the competition and now met again. They all greeted each other with smiles.
In addition, the council members of the Federation had all arrived at the Morgan Castle. It was very lively.
Through the crowd of council members, Logan spotted Holt.
Unlike before, Holt was much more quiet.
From the moment he arrived, he seemed to be avoiding something.
"Logan, what's wrong with Holt?" Sawako asked, looking curiously at the bearded man.
"Maybe he's just worried about running into Alex." Logan said, taking a sip of red wine and smiling.
Since the beginning, Alex had been quietly asking about the [Divine Fruit].
Everyone who had received the [Divine Fruit] was showing off their familiar's powers to Alex.
Alex listened to the names of all these amazing talents and skills, and smiled, encouraging each familiar tamer. He looked even happier than the tamers themselves.
At that moment, Alex saw Logan and walked over to him with a big smile. "Our federation's rising star — we meet again!" he said.
The girls saw how friendly Alex was and all frowned.
Logan stepped forward, shook Alex's hand, and smiled. "Thanks for the hospitality, temporary chairman."
When he said temporary chairman, Alex gripped Logan's hand tighter and smiled. "You know, I've been the temporary chairman for over ten years now."
Logan just said coldly: "Temporary is temporary. I heard the vote for the official chairman has already been set up."
At that, Alex's smile froze.
He stared at Logan, his face full of anger and warning. "Logan, don't talk about politics like that."
Logan let go of his hand and took out a towel to wipe. "I was just expressing my hopes."
At that, Alex's eyes turned sharp, like a knife. He stared at Logan. "Logan, are you here to cause trouble today?"
Logan smiled. "I just came to watch you perform. You're the star of the day — temporary chairman."
After being challenged three times, Alex's face turned dark.
He was sure that Logan had come to cause trouble.
But just as he was about to act, Old Tattalia arrived with Edo Castle's former city lord, Lord Uesugi Shin, the commander of the Storm Knight Order, Kevin, and Deputy City Lord Sunny from Starfall City.
"Temporary chairman, you're hosting such a big dinner — we came without being invited. Do you mind?" Old Tattalia's dull eyes suddenly lit up as he looked at Alex, full of hostility.
Alex raised an eyebrow. "I heard you were missing, so I didn't invite you."
Old Tattalia laughed. Behind him, hundreds of powerful familiar tamers suddenly appeared — each of them had at least Master Level 4.
When Alex saw so many people coming out behind Old Tattalia, his eyes got dark. "Old man, you're not here for a party."
Old Tattalia picked up a glass of red wine and drank it all. "Drinking your wine — that's being at the party."
Before Old Tattalia finished speaking, Evelynna walked into Morgan Castle with a group of Temple knights.
Beside her were Natalia, Sophia, Lucia, and Rebecca.
Behind them, over a thousand Red Flower Guild agents followed, blocking the exit of Morgan Castle.
Seeing this, the guards of the Morgan family sounded the alarm and sent out their familiars. They watched the new people with suspicion.
Natalia smiled. "What? The temporary chairman is throwing a party, and you don't want us to come?"
Alex stared at Natalia. "You didn't get invited, and you brought so many people. I can't really welcome you."
Natalia smiled and waved to the fighters behind her.
In an instant, all the Red Flower Guild agents and Temple knights sat down on the ground.
Then Natalia smiled at Alex. "We brought our own food. If you don't mind, can we just watch your speech?"
At that moment, Holt carefully moved close to Alex and said: "Sir, all the guests are here. They're waiting for your speech."
Alex gave Natalia a cold look. "Natalia, don't get involved. Don't forget what almost happened to your family."
Then Alex turned and walked onto the stage. He started his speech.
He was right — he had been the temporary chairman for over ten years.
In terms of respect, he was still the top in the Federation. As soon as he appeared, everyone paid attention and clapped.
Alex smiled, picked up the microphone, and was about to speak.
But the microphone made no sound. Alex's face turned dark instantly.
He quickly recovered and quietly used his familiar's power to strengthen his voice. "Dear guests, welcome to Morgan family."
Then he smiled strangely. "As the temporary chairman, I will step down in one month. Thank you all for your support over the years. We represent the Morgan family and ask you for one last favor."
Most of the people there were important leaders — some were council members, others were top people from local groups. They had all benefited from Alex's time in power, so they all showed sadness and said they would help.
"Chairman, you're joking! Without your leadership, the Federation would have been in chaos!"
"Right! Thanks to your leadership, the human Federation has been safe for ten years."
"Chairman, don't worry — whatever you need, we'll do it!"
…
Alex smiled as he heard the excited voices.
At that moment, servants brought glasses of wine to everyone.
Even Logan, Old Tattalia, and Natalia's group got a glass.
After the wine was passed out, Alex raised his glass and said: "Then I'll thank you all first!"
He drank the wine in one gulp.
As the chairman drank, the crowd also raised their glasses and drank heartily.
As people drank, Alex smiled and said: "Actually, my request is simple — everyone here can do it."
Everyone looked curious, waiting to hear what he had to say.
But before Alex could explain, a council member at the front suddenly started foaming at the mouth and fell to the ground.
Then another, then another — many guests who had drunk the wine collapsed, showing signs of poisoning.
Alex smiled, satisfied. "My request is simple — I want you all to die."
He had timed the poison perfectly. As he said the words, many glasses broke — the sound like a strange music.
Alex enjoyed the scene, looking completely at ease.
But just as he was laughing with excitement.
Logan had somehow grabbed the microphone and turned on the speakers: "Did you all hear that? This guy wants you all to die!"
When people heard Logan's words, the crowd that had just been lying on the floor, looking hopeless, suddenly opened their eyes and stared in shock: "Wait… we're not dead?"
