Ch. 1011..1020
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 1011
‘Dead! They’re all dead!’
‘The Johansson family has endured silently for twenty years and spent countless efforts and financial resources to produce thirty-one Mystic ranked martial artists. They are the future of the Johansson family. They’re what everyone in the Johansson family aspires to become.’
‘At first, I thought today would be a huge step forward to greater glory, but I didn’t expect it to be a flash in the pan!’ Fanny Johansson felt deeply frustrated as tears started streaming down his face.
He couldn’t help but spit out a mouthful of blood.
At this moment, the pressure around Danial Johansson’s body finally disappeared. After letting out a loud, fierce roar, he realized that he had regained his freedom, followed closely by an unstoppable psychogenic tremor.
He felt fear in his heart but more of resentment.
Thirty-one Mystic ranked martial artists had died in the blink of an eye. These people had spent most of their days with him. He had trained them and watched them grow slowly. And, he also entrusted them with great responsibilities.
Logan Goldman, especially, was his adopted brother.
“You… You’ve got a lot of guts. You dared to do such a heartless thing in the peaceful world under broad daylight. They are thirty one living beings but thirty one not ants. A murderous demon like you must be punished by law!” Danial said angrily.
Since he couldn’t defeat him with martial arts, he thought of using the law against his enemy.
“Danial, are you alright now? What happened to you just now? I was terrified,” Krystal Packwood said as she tugged at Danial.
“I’m fine!” Danial uttered.
Krystal let out a sigh of relief and immediately turned around to aim her gun at Alex. “Indeed, this fellow is a murderous demon. We live in a society ruled by law, and the country is governed by law. Since he had the guts to kill people, he must be brought to justice! Timothy, your father is Mayor Summers, and your uncle is from Divine Constabulary. Hurry up and call them. Such a villainous criminal has appeared in California. How could we just sit idly by? Ordinary lives like ours are under serious threat. We can only seek protection from the officials.”
These people normally behaved like they were better than everyone else.
They were the only ones who could bully other people.
Now that they had suffered a huge loss in Alex’s hand, so they naturally wanted to find ways to exact revenge. The law had become their weapon of choice at this point
Timothy Summers’s mouth twitched slightly.
When the Johansson family previously sent five hundred Golden Dragon Warriors over, Timothy had already mentioned it to his father. The officials basically chose to turn a blind eye over this matter and would not intervene. Nobody expected things to have taken such a drastic turn. After the Johansson family suffered a huge loss, they now needed to ask the officials for help.
This was a very difficult phone call to make.
Once he made the call, his father would be embarrassed.
After thinking about it for a moment, Timothy called his second uncle, Ted Summers. Ted was a member of Divine Constabulary. Now that thirty one Mystic ranked martial artists were dead, this was a matter within the scope of their duties.
The phone call went through quickly.
Ted’s voice came from the phone. “Timothy, what’s up?”
“Second Uncle, something major happened. Thirty one Mystic ranked martial artists died… One person did it. He’s very arrogant, and he’s simply the spawn of Satan… Bring the best fighters you have right now. Make sure they are fully armed. It’d be best if you have powerful modern weapons…” Just as Timothy was speaking hastily, he was slapped hard across the face.
Slap!
The person who slapped Timothy was none other than Alex.
As soon as the slap was landed, the rest of the Johanssons had gloating expressions on their faces.
They nearly clapped their hands and cheered.
Why?
Timothy was the mayor Johnny Summers’s only son, and his mother even doted on him to the extreme. They couldn’t even stand Timothy being mistreated ever so slightly, let alone get slapped publicly. When the time came, the Summers family would definitely look for trouble with Alex.
It would be best if they both started to fight. It would be even better if Alex killed Johnny.
Killing the mayor of a city was a major crime. It was akin to going against the American government. Then, the national security apparatus would definitely be deployed. Even if Alex was very good in martial arts and his sorcery was sophisticated, there was no way he could defeat the state’s gunpower.
The situation had indeed developed toward the expectation of Danial, Ronald Johansson and the others. After Alex slapped Timothy across his face, there was an immediate backlash of a high degree.
Timothy stared at Alex and said angrily, “How dare you slap me? Do you know who I am?”
Slap!
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 1012
Alex slapped Timothy again.
This time, Alex broke his nose and even sent his phone flying.
Alex said coldly, “People like you love asking this question. Do you think you’re superior to everyone else just because you have a powerful father? I know who you are. You’re the son of Mayor Summers. What about it? Do you think you can do whatever you want just because your father is a mayor? Why didn’t you look for your father when a few hundred people from the Johansson family wanted to annihilate all of us just now? Do you remember you have a father now?”
As Alex spoke, he slapped Timothy three more times.
Timothy was slapped to the point that he began to doubt his life.
Meanwhile, Ted Summers’s anxious shout could be heard from the phone that fell to the ground. “Hello? Hello, Timothy? Timothy, say something. Who are you? Stop right there! I am Ted Summers from Divine Constabulary. Stop right away…”
The voice was so loud that any ordinary person could hear it.
Alex extended his hand, and the phone violently jumped up before flying into his hand.
“I know you are Ted Summers!”
“Huh? Who are you? Why did you hit my nephew? Do you know who his father is?”
“I know who he is. Isn’t he your older brother?”
“D*mn it… Ehh, why do I find your voice a little familiar. I feel like I’ve heard it somewhere.”
Alex chuckled. “Cut the crap. Where are you? Is Captain Melvis around? What about Anna Coleman? Get them to come over to my house. I just killed thirty one Mystic ranked martial artists. Hmm. I might kill a few more.”
“I… Sh*t. Are you Alex Rockefeller?!”
“It’s me. Hurry up and come over. Otherwise, a few hundred people might be dead.”
As soon as Alex finished speaking, he gently squeezed the phone and it instantly exploded into pieces.
Timothy stared at Alex with a dumbfounded expression. “You… you know my second uncle? Who on earth are you?”
Alex had an expression of disdain, with an indifferent look in his eyes.
Alex didn’t know the exact reason. Perhaps after his breakthrough to Divine Transcendence, he had officially reborn. Not only did his lifespan increase, but his attitude had also become elevated. He felt as if everyone else was beneath him.
Alex also did things as he saw fit. He was no longer bound by the worldly rules and regulations.
“It doesn’t matter who I am. What matters is, do you know who you are?” Alex placed his hands behind him with an imposing manner. “You are Johnny Summers’s son. Everything you say and do is a representation of your father, but you are out here discrediting him. If a son like you isn‘t a burden to your father, what are you then? Now, do you also want to get your second uncle into trouble? Kneel, or else I’ll break your legs!”
Timothy trembled, but how could he be willing to kneel?
“Kneel!” Alex bellowed before slapping Timothy on his shoulder.
At once, Timothy kneeled forcefully against the cobblestone ground, almost breaking his kneecaps.
After this happened, everyone’s facial expression changed.
However, Alex caught sight of Ronald Johansson smiling.
“Why are you smiling?” Alex asked with his brows raised.
Ronald froze. “I didn’t smile!”
“You did.”
“I really didn’t smile!”
“If you can’t even admit to smiling, what’s the point of you living?”
Alex snorted coldly. In the blink of an eye, Alex appeared in front of Ronald. He raised his hand and slapped it against Ronald’s head.
Crack!
Ronald’s head spun halfway around. It now appeared to be twisted in a bizarre angle.
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 1013
Ronald Johansson was dead. His death didn’t deserve pity.
In fact, when he coveted Aunt Rockefeller’s beauty the day before and wanted to steal her away on the spot, his fate had already been decided.
How could Aunt Rockefeller let him go?
Meanwhile, Danial and Krystal, who saw their son killed before their very eyes, were about to go crazy. They hugged Ronald and cried out loudly.
“All the Golden Dragon Warriors, listen up. Kill this scumbag!”
“Also, kill every single person in this villa. To hell with all of them!” Danial shouted in anger, completely disregarding everything else.
His only son was dead.
He now only had one thought in his mind, destruction. He wanted to destroy everything. It’d be best if the entire world were to be destroyed.
As for the Johansson family, as well as his father, he couldn’t care less about them.
That’s because he was the kind of person who put his son before everything. Nothing else mattered.
When the remaining four hundred or so Golden Dragon Warriors heard Danial’s loud command, they all fell silent. Alex’s previous killing method was too terrifying, and it had left them with a great psychological trauma. Many of them didn’t want to get themselves killed… However, there were also some who weren’t afraid of dying, especially those zealots who had been favored and brainwashed by the Johansson family.
“Brothers, let’s kill these people and avenge Young Master Ronald!” Someone shouted.
Once someone took the lead, others followed.
Soon, more than four hundred Golden Dragon Warriors all started to charge into the villa like a golden stream.
At that moment, Fanny finally recollected himself.
“Stop! Stop right now!” Fanny yelled angrily.
However, it was far too late when he came back to his senses.
By then, the Golden Dragon Warriors’ emotions had already been completely incited. Close to half of them already thought of death as their homecoming, and they were willing to lead the others to die together.
Besides, these people were all brainwashed by the Johansson family in various ways since they were young.
“Kill them!”
No one even noticed Fanny trying to stop them.
Alex’s gaze turned cold. With his head held high, the spiritual power in his body soared, and his hands were covered with thunderous might.
However, someone acted even faster than him.
It was Aunt Rockefeller!
The unsophiscated, ancient and large golden bow once again appeared in her hands. The bow was bent and an arrow fit onto it. Spiritual power permeated the surface of the arrow with golden feather, with surging killing intent.
The spiritual power even seemed to have condensed into a phoenix’s shadow.
The Duncan siblings and Timothy Summers, who were ordinary people, were all stunned by such a mighty sight. In other words, they had been scared silly.
“Go forth!” Aunt Rockefeller yelled softly just as she was about to release the peerless arrow.
The shadow of the golden phoenix on the large bow even looked up to the sky and howled.
However, right then, a loud roar could be heard from the sky. “Stop!”
The voice rumbled like thunder.
However, inner force experts could sense that the sound was like a cannonball being projected from a distance. It only burst suddenly after getting close.
However, the sound remained extremely impactful.
“Voice of a Thousand Miles?” Aunt Rockefeller’s heart stirred.
However, she had already released her hand that drew the bow. The golden arrow with the strong killing intent of a golden phoenix was shot out forcefully, aiming directly at the Golden Dragon Warriors.
“It’s someone from Divine Constabulary!” Alex was able to see a helicopter in the distance.
Alex knew very well that his aunt’s arrow would wipe out everyone that it came into contact with, and half of these martial artists from the Johansson family would die from the impact.
In the end, Alex couldn’t bear watching it happen.
He kicked the golden arrow forcefully, tilting the golden arrow’s angle of motion upward.
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 1014
The angle tilted upward by approximately thirty degrees.
Buzz!
At this moment, the entire space in the front yard of the villa seemed to be sealed in place. Hundreds of warriors in golden battle armors were completely suppressed by the light. Each one of them could only see the golden phoenix and hear the explosions that broke the sound barrier.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
The dozens of Golden Dragon Warriors who rushed to the forefront were instantly crushed to death by the enormous power of the golden arrow that passed by at a low altitude.
On the other hand, the martial artists behind them managed to survive.
The golden arrow that tilted upward finally passed through the eaves of a villa’s attic. However, the villa was blown up. The might of that arrow was simply incredible.
Clang!
Numerous broken stones and tiles smashed onto the ground, causing many people’s jaws to drop. Fortunately, nobody lived in that villa. Otherwise, the consequence would’ve been severe.
Chuff!
The helicopter arrived on top of the villa.
A few people jumped down from the helicopter. They were none other than Sky Melvis, Anna Coleman, Ted Summers and the others from Divine Constabulary.
There was another middle-aged man with an extraordinary aura among them. His body was covered fully by inner force, and his cultivation far exceeded Sky. He was at least at Advanced-Earth rank.
The loud roar earlier probably came from this person.
As these people personally witnessed the grandeur of that arrow as well as the multitude of corpses on the ground, they could not help but feel a numbness in their scalps.
“Second Uncle!” Timothy yelled. At first, he was kneeling on the ground. But after seeing Ted, he wanted to stand up immediately.
However, Ted yelled coldly at him right away. “Who said you could stand up? Continue kneeling! You can only stand up when Mr. Rockefeller says so. If he doesn’t grant you the permission to do so, you’ll have to kneel here until you die.”
‘What?’
Timothy had a stunned expression on his face. He couldn’t believe that his second uncle had said those words.
However, Ted ignored Timothy after finishing his sentence.
Anna was the first to speak after that. “Alex, this… What on earth happened here? How could there be such a huge ruckus here? What do these hundreds of martial artists from the Johansson family want?”
“Of course, they’re not here for a meal. They came to annihilate my family,” Alex said.
“They even wanted us to kneel in a line and wait for our turn to be exterminated,” Waltz Fleur next to Alex added.
“Outrageous!”
At this moment, the middle-aged Earth ranked martial artist, who came along with the rest, was furious. “What is the Johansson family up to? Are they trying to rebel? How dare they annihilate someone’s family under broad daylight? They even wanted to annihilate the family of a Divine Constabulary’s elder. They really deserve to die.”
Alex’s eyes glistened. He wasn’t any sort of elder!
Meanwhile, Danial and Fanny from the Johansson family were both dumbfounded by what they had heard.
Neither of them would’ve guessed that not only Alex with the title of California’s most useless son-in-law had god-like martial arts skills, but he even had such an unfathomable identity.
Timothy’s entire body even trembled violently.
He finally understood why Alex dared to go against the Summers family.
The elder of Divine Constabulary was indeed an existence his father wouldn’t dare to offend.
Noticing Alex’s confusion about the middle-aged man, Sky leaned over and started introducing him to Alex in a whisper. “Mr. Rockefeller, he is one of the Four Great Guardians of Divine Constabulary, Zachary Savier. He’s a half stepped Grandmaster. Last time, when you were troubled by the Coleman family at the Stoermer family’s place, I asked Guardian Xavier to come help. To my surprise, you managed to resolve the issue with your own mighty powers.”
While Sky spoke, Alex caught sight of Zachary’s friendly gaze.
Alex smiled in return and nodded gently.
Right after that, Zachary went straight to the point and spoke, “California’s Johansson family has raised its own private military and secretly possessed many harmful weapons. Not only did these people plot against an elder of Divine Constabulary, they even lost their minds and wanted to annihilate his family. This is an intentional rebellion against the country…”
When Zachary said these things, everyone present was stunned.
Members of the Johansson family were even more dumbfounded.
Zachary continued, “Sky Melvis, this is an order on behalf of Southern California’s Divine Constabulary. Arrest all members of the Johansson family and put them on death row with immediate effect. On top of that, interrogate them!”
Sky cupped one fist with the other hand. “Yes, sir!”
“That’s bullsh*t! Are you blind? The people who died here are all from the Johansson family. Are any of their people hurt? When did the Johansson family conspire against the state? You’re simply making things up and making us seem like the bad people. You’re no different from that Rockefeller scum!” Danial shouted.
“How dare you insult me? Die!” Zachary directly stood up and slapped Danial without hesitation.
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 1015
Danial Johansson’s low level of cultivation was simply no match for a half-stepped Grandmaster.
Most importantly, never did he expect that Zachary Xavier, as a key member of Divine Constabulary, would be so protective of Alex. For the sake of Alex, not only did Zachary directly claim that the Johansson family was plotting against the state, but he even attacked Danial directly.
Wham!
Zachary slapped on the crown of Danial’s head.
Danial died on the spot.
“Ahh…!”
“Danial, Danial!” Krystal cried out in distress.
She had just witnessed her son being killed, and now she had to witness her husband being killed. She was being driven to the point of madness. After crying out loudly, she suddenly unzipped her purse and retrieved a small yet exquisite gun. She was going to shoot Zachary and kill him right away.
However, she had no idea what a half-stepped Grandmaster was capable of.
The moment the gun appeared, Zachary focused his mental strength. Before Krystal could aim the gun at him, he flashed forward and snatched her small gun away.
“For secretly possessing a gun and having the intent to murder me, you shall die!”
Without any semblance of mercy, Zachary turned the muzzle of the gun around and pointed it at Krystal’s temple before pulling the trigger.
Bang!
Krystal fell slowly to the ground with her eyes widened. She fell in between Danial and Ronald.
A family of three laid neatly together on the ground.
And, the gunshot had completely shocked everyone present… People from the Johansson family all had sullen expressions on their faces as their hearts trembled. Timothy Summers kneeled on the ground, and he was too weak to get up. The Duncan siblings had their eyes widened in shock. They had already forgotten about the pain in their faces.
Fanny Johansson, who was old but strong, finally realized the direness of the situation.
At this moment, it was a matter of life and death for the Johansson family.
He knew that the key figures in this big act were Alex Rockefeller and Aunt Rockefeller. People from Divine Constabulary had also come because of them.
When Fanny checked the time, he saw that there were three minutes left before the clock struck twelve.
Fanny hastily plucked a handful of thorny branches from a nearby flower bed. He took off his clothes and tied the branches to his back. He then rushed over while stumbling and shouting at the top of his lungs, “I am Fanny Johansson, patriarch of the Johansson family, and I am here to apologize! I am Fanny Johansson, patriarch of the Johansson family, and I am here to apologize…”
Fanny shouted consecutively with his hands raised high up in the air. After that, he kneeled upright in front of Alex.
“Patriarch of the Johansson family, your apology comes at quite a hefty price. If I hadn’t been careful, my entire family might have been killed because of you,” Alex said indifferently.
“I am guilty as charged. I’m already very old. Previously, I had no idea that Danial and his son, Ronald, were up to no good out here. I also had no clue about the five hundred Golden Dragon Warriors coming over here. It was all done by these two b*stards. The Johansson family is willing to offer all our wealth and accept Divine Constabulary’s trial. Please spare the old and weak in the Johansson family, including women and children!”
As Fanny finished speaking, he prostrated before Alex and hit his head to the ground.
For the sake of his family bloodline, he had to do so.
Alex didn’t say anything. Instead, he looked at Aunt Rockefeller next to him.
At this moment, her large bow had been hidden somewhere yet again. She definitely couldn’t have hidden it somewhere under her skirt because it couldn’t be fit in it at all… Then, she must have kept it inside her mind palace. Like his Dragon’s Bane of Thirty-Six, the large bow was a spiritual tool.
“I don’t want their fixed assets. Sell those assets for money. I only want money!” Aunt Rockefeller said with her crisp voice.
Fanny immediately nodded.
Zachary looked at Aunt Rockefeller. Soon, he made a call on the phone.
Not long after that, over a dozen armored vehicles drove in, stirring the entire neighborhood. Fine. The small neighborhood had actually been stirred long ago.
All the Golden Dragon Warriors from the Johansson family were taken away.
According to Zachary, Divine Constabulary was short of manpower and needed a lot of new recruits. These Royal ranked martial artists raised by the Johansson family could be of great use after being trained for a few years at a designated location.
Vroom! Vroom! Vroom!
The armored vehicles came and went quickly.
Even the numerous corpses were taken away.
Meanwhile, Timothy had completely lost his will to throw a tantrum.
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 1016
Timothy Summers previously asked his uncle, Ted Summers, to come with a group of heavily armed troops to arrest people. Now, the armed troops were here, but they weren’t here to catch the murderer, Alex Rockefeller. Instead, they had come to arrest the Golden Dragon Warriors whom the Johansson family was very proud of. In fact, these warriors would never be returned to the Johansson family.
This was the typical case of an unexpected twist to an expected outcome.
Slap!
Ted finally remembered his nephew, and he slapped his nephew forcefully. “How could you not know your limits as a member of the Summers family? Apologize to Mr. Rockefeller right away!”
Alex glanced at Timothy indifferently.
Timothy dared not disobey Ted’s commands now, so he obediently lowered his head and apologized. “I’m sorry. I was wrong!”
Wham!
Ted smacked the back of Timothy’s head again. “Louder. Call him Uncle Rockefeller.”
Timothy’s head was nearly snapped off. He seemed aggrieved. “Uncle Rockefeller, sorry. I was wrong!”
Right at that moment, Claire Assex, who was lying in the garden, woke up and opened her eyes.
As soon as she opened her eyes, she saw the most influential heir of California kneeling before Alex while calling Alex as his uncle and apologized to him… Suddenly, Claire felt her heart clenched tightly as her mind was filled with questions!
What the hell was going on here?
The useless trash, Rockefeller had only left their family for a few months. How could he have gone through such big changes?
Right after that, an old man came over in a hurry, it was none other than the richest man in West California, Frederick Duncan.
As soon as Frederick arrived, he didn’t even deign to look at his grandson and granddaughter. He directly kneeled before Alex with a loud thud and cried out painfully. “Master Rockefeller, I’m at fault. I didn’t discipline these two b*stards and condoned their deeds. If you want to kill me or skin me alive, I, Frederick Duncan, won’t even say a word against it.”
Claire’s eyes widened, and her mind went blank for a while.
‘Richest man… In West California? But why?’
‘The good future son-in-law I was hoping to get is nothing compared to my ex-son-in-law. Why on earth is that? Could it be that I really have lost a trump card?’
When Claire thought about these things, she felt extremely remorseful and upset. She wished dearly that she could just bust her own head open. After that, she passed out again.
“There’s been enough deaths today!” Alex exhaled softly. “Take them all away. I don’t even bother to look at them.”
Frederick thanked Alex multiple times. Then, he turned to look at Yone and Yannis and said, “You two b*stards, get back to West California right away. Pack up your things, go to Australia and don’t come back for the rest of your life.”
“Huh?” When the Duncan Siblings heard this, they felt as if they had lost their parents.
Frederick’s words meant that they had been officially deprived of the right to inherit the Duncan family’s assets.
Meanwhile, Timothy was taken away by Ted.
***
The stunning, huge drama ended like a thunderstorm of sorts with an unpredictable outcome. To ordinary outsiders, nothing much was felt. At most, the scene of five hundred Golden Dragon Warriors appearing on the street was somewhat startling. As for the inside story, nobody knew too clearly what had happened at all.
The theme of the battle that occurred in Maple Villa was also suppressed by the senior officials.
Those who were shocked the most were none other than a few top-notch families in California.
Zachary then invited Alex to a meal and to have a drink together.
Alex found it hard to refuse, so he said, “Alright. Let’s do it tonight! I’ll be the host. Let’s have a meal at Urasawa Restaurant.”
“Okay!” Zachary said.
Soon, the villa was left with Claire as the only outsider.
“Let’s throw this old woman out. She’s an eyesore here. I want to rip her mouth apart whenever I see her,” Waltz said.
With that, Waltz walked up to Claire and slapped her once.
The slap ended up waking Claire.
Aunt Rockefeller glanced at Waltz indifferently, with a fleeting glimmer in her eyes. She said, “Let her get lost by herself! Let’s go inside and eat. I’m starving!”
To everyone’s surprise, Claire still remembered about the ten billion dollars.
She reached her hand toward Alex as she said with a pleasant smile on her face, “Alex, where’s the ten billion dollars? As long as you give the money to me, I’ll kneel before you and lick your feet for the rest of my life.”
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 1017
Several people were all stunned.
For the sake of money, Claire was willing to let her reputation go to waste. Nobody could be as shameless as her.
“It’s really the first time for me to meet a woman like you. At the very least, your daughter is a CEO. Aren’t you afraid that she’d be embarrassed by what you just did?” Waltz asked.
Madame Claire didn’t care at all and said, “How much is reputation worth? We’re talking about ten billion dollars here. These days, if one can show up with a hundred million dollars, that’d be good enough for reputation, let alone ten billion dollars!”
After that, Claire turned to look at Alex “Alex, it’s all my fault in the past. I shouldn’t have forced you to get a divorce with Dorothy, and I shouldn’t have yelled at you before. From now on, I won’t stop you two from being together. You can do whatever you want. As long as I get the ten billion dollars, I’ll go somewhere far away and never get in your way again.”
Daya couldn’t bear listening to it anymore. So, she said, “You can leave now.”
“What about the money?”
“There isn’t any!”
“I think you’ve gone mad thinking about money!” Aunt Rockefeller suddenly said out loud. “I’m going to teach this money obsessed psychopath a lesson. None of you should stop me.”
With that, Aunt Rockefeller grabbed Claire and headed outside.
Alex was startled.
Of course, he didn’t like Claire but she was still his de facto mother-in-law. Alex couldn’t let his aunt kill her out of rage, so he immediately said, “Aunt, this woman is somewhat a lunatic. Teaching her a lesson won’t work. Let me send her home. Out of sight, out of mind.”
“No, I’ll do it! Don’t worry. I’ll send her home after teaching her a lesson,” Aunt Rockefeller said.
Soon, Aunt Rockefeller drove Claire’s car and left the villa while taking along the trembling Claire.
Although Alex was worried, he could not do anything about it.
Immediately after that, Waltz bombarded Alex with a series of questions.
She was shocked yet envious of Alex’s ability to kill thirty one Mystic ranked martial artists with such ease. Anyway, she had no reason to be embarrassed about getting to the bottom of things with her questions.
Alex laughed. “You have way too many questions. Moreover, I can’t answer all of them clearly in a short amount of time. I can only say that the path I’m taking is neither martial arts nor the Cultivation Guru’s pathway mentioned by the people out there.”
Waltz’s round eyes widened. “Then what is it that you cultivate?”
Alex thought about it for a moment and said, “You can think of it as The Path of God.”
Waltz still couldn’t understand it.
Alex laughed loudly. “The Path of God is even more difficult than ascending to Heaven. Every level requires a breakthrough in one’s physical limits. But after the breakthrough, there are many benefits. You wouldn’t understand if I told you now. However, I’m already thinking of ways to help you all get onto The Path of God.”
Waltz nodded.
When Waltz turned around, she actually saw Daya’s eyes brimming with tears.
“Daya, why are you crying?” Waltz asked in surprise.
“I’m fine. I’m just feeling emotional. Honey, I believe my dream must have been real. That’s my memory from the past life. We were a couple who got separated. One day, we’ll both get our memories back!” Daya said.
Waltz was dumbfounded by what she heard, so she quickly asked what was going on.
Daya then told Waltz about the dream she had been having since she was a kid. After listening to Daya, Waltz didn’t know what to say.
“Fairy Realm? Pool of Reincarnation? I really hope what you said is true, so that I could also have a look in Fairy Realm. But, this was only a dream world. How could you think it’s real? How could deities possibly exist in the world?” Waltz asked.
Alex declined to comment.
Although he had acquired his ancestor’s legacy, and his ancestor claimed to be the Primo God of Miracle Doctors, Primo God was just a title. He couldn’t have actually been a deity, could he?
“Alright, let’s not talk about these things. I was interrupted by the Johansson family earlier, and I haven’t even finished cooking. You two can come and help. Since my aunt isn’t around, nobody will yell at you,” Alex said.
Twenty minutes later, Aunt Rockefeller returned on her own.
“Did you send her home?” Alex asked.
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 1018
Aunt Rockefeller grunted softly. “Why should I send her back? She has hands and feet. She could just go back by herself.”
With that, Aunt Rockefeller glanced at Waltz and Daya.
“Since you care so much about her, do you still want to be her son-in-law? I think you can’t cut ties with Dorothy Assex in this lifetime.”
“What are you saying? We’ve already gotten a divorce. Do you think we’d get married again?” Alex said.
“It’s hard to say. I wouldn’t know if you’d do it! However, I have to offer you advice. We still don’t know if your father is dead or alive, and we have no idea what the ranks of our hidden enemies are. You ought to have self-discipline! Don’t be dragged down by beautiful women. Otherwise… I won’t forgive you easily,” Aunt Rockefeller said.
With that, Aunt Rockefeller deliberately glanced at Daya.
Daya took a deep breath and stood up. “Auntie, I know you think I’m dragging Rockefeller down, and that I’d only cause him trouble. Don’t worry, I won’t! In five days, I’ll be taking on the Stoermers’ Test of Hell and I’ll return in two years. When the time comes, I definitely won’t be the same as my current self and I could become Alex’s helper,” Daya said.
“Oh? Is that so?” Aunt Rockefeller asked.
“Yes.” Daya nodded.
“Aunt, what Daya said is true. The test she mentioned is extremely difficult. She’s willing to accept this hellish test because of me. You… You shouldn’t keep picking on Daya! She’s not an ordinary girl. Her mental power is a very amazing talent. Even if she hasn’t gone through any cultivation, she’s already a hundred times stronger than other people,” Alex said.
“Is that so? I find it a little hard to believe! I’ll know after testing it out!” Aunt Rockefeller suddenly focused her mental power and hit on Daya’s consciousness.
In the next moment, her facial expression changed and became rather grave.
Five seconds later, sweats appeared on her forehead.
Ten seconds later, her body began to tremble.
Twenty seconds later, Aunt Rockefeller stumbled three steps backward. She only stopped when she knocked against the wall behind her. Her face had turned pale.
Alex quickly held her up and laughed. “What do you think? Do you believe me now? Once she cultivates her spiritual consciousness, she might even be able to kill a Grandmaster in seconds.”
Aunt Rockefeller snorted. “That’s all!”
After saying that, her legs gave away, nearly falling down.
Waltz couldn’t help but laugh. After that, she quickly stopped herself.
However, to everyone’s surprise, Aunt Rockefeller retrieved a bracelet and tossed it over to Daya. “Your mental power indeed is malleable. This is a mystical tool. Coupled with your mental power, you’d be better able to protect yourself. Anyway, I look forward to your achievements in two years.”
After dinner, Alex retreated to the basement and started to concoct pills.
In the past few days, Thousand Miles Conglomerate, the Yowell family, the Stoermer family, and Nathan Pattingson had all delivered medicinal herbs of great value to Alex. Hence, he could go crazy concocting pills.
Alex still felt worried about Daya.
He prepared more than twenty types of pills for her. Apart from pill concoction, he also accelerated his research on the formation blueprint attached to the Dragon’s Bane of Thirty-Six. As long as Alex was able to grasp this thing fully, he was confident that he could create some mystical tools for self defense just like how his father did.
***
At six o’clock in the evening, Alex headed to Urasawa Restaurant for his appointment.
Zachary Xavier, Sky Melvis, Ted Summers, and several other key members of California’s Divine Constabulary were all there. However, Anna Coleman was nowhere to be seen. Upon asking, it turned out that Anna had left California after being entrusted with transporting the four hundred or so Royal ranked martial artists they had seized from the Johansson family earlier.
The meal went on for two hours.
In reality, it was an occasion to drink and bond with each other.
Alex knew clearly in his heart that his performance during the day had thoroughly conquered this guardian from Divine Constabulary. This man now wanted to be associated with Alex directly. Meanwhile, Alex also wanted to find out who in Divine Constabulary was looking for the tomb’s key. Hence, he happily accepted Zachary’s offering of peace.
Throughout the meal, both the host and the guests were happy.
When Zachary left, he gave Alex a piece of talisman. This was also proof of Alex’s promotion as an elder.
At half past eight, Alex saw Zachary and the rest off at Urasawa Restaurant. He was just about to drive his car and return home. To his surprise, he saw someone familiar at the parking lot: it was none other than Cheryl Coney’s best friend, Phoebe Larsen!
‘Why is she still in California?’ Alex thought.
Just as he was still thinking if he should go and greet her, a group of masked men suddenly appeared from one side and rushed over to Phoebe. They covered her head with a piece of black cloth. Before she could scream, they dragged her into a van. The van’s engine was turned on, and it quickly sped outside.
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 1019
“Let go of me! Let go!”
“Who are you people? You people… I have money, I’ll give you money… My dad is very rich…”
Phoebe Larsen panicked to the core. She had no idea who these people were at all, and the only thing she could think of was to save her life with money.
Unfortunately, these people weren’t convinced.
Moreover, someone began to speak, “Stop struggling. We do things with principles. Since we’ve accepted money from our client, how could we go back on our promise? You should just resign yourself to fate!”
When Phoebe heard this, she panicked even more.
They were neither going after her money nor her body. Someone actually instructed them to do so.
“Who is it? Who instructed you to do this? You must have been fooled. My father is Wayne Larson. He’s the mayor of Michigan. If you ever hurt me, my father definitely won’t let you go. He’ll catch you even if you go to the end of the world,” Phoebe said.
Phoebe normally never mentioned who her father was but during times like this, she hoped that she could scare these people away with her father’s reputation.
A masked man laughed loudly. “How did you know we live near the end of the world? Amazing! But, so what? Do you think we’re blind and stupid for being unable to recognize you? It’s Wayne Larsen’s daughter we’re going for!”
At this moment, Phoebe truly began to feel hopeless. She struggled desperately and cried out for help.
Phoebe wanted to use one leg to kick against the car’s window. Unfortunately, one of the thugs blocked it midway. Instead, her foot landed on the door post. Her ankle was twisted, and it hurt greatly. Meanwhile, someone covered her mouth and spoke eerily into her ear, “You better behave. Otherwise, with your good looks, we don’t mind taking turns to have some fun with you in the car.”
When Phoebe heard this, her body immediately stiffened up. She didn’t dare to shout anymore. Tears started streaming down her face uncontrollably.
Right then, the car suddenly came to a halt.
Everyone in the car jerked forward, especially the man who was speaking to Phoebe earlier. He bumped his head against the front seat. It hurt so badly that he started gritting his teeth and yelled, “Luden, do you know how to drive? Are you trying to get me killed?”
Luden, who was driving, poked his head out of the car window and started cursing loudly. “B*stard. Do you want to die? Get out of the way. Believe it or not, I’m going to run you over and kill you.”
A young man was standing in front of the car.
Of course, it was Alex Rockefeller.
Alex pretended to leave, but he stopped and placed his hands on his waist. “Oh, you piece of sh*t. You’re only driving a dilapidated van, but you think so highly of yourself, huh? Open your damn eyes. Which car in this parking lot is worse than yours? You’re driving such a broken piece of crap metal that beggars don’ t even want, yet you dare to speak to an old woman… No, I mean, how dare you yell at an old man like me? Are you blind? Did your mother give birth to you in a pig barn? Is that why you have the brain of a pig? Do you think this road belongs to your family? My car is worth a hundred times more than yours.”
Alex was imitating Claire when she cursed. Carelessly, he even addressed himself as an old woman.
However, it was very effective. Luden became thoroughly enraged.
The person in the back seat, who was probably the boss, said, “Luden, let’s not cause trouble. Let him go!”
However, Luden couldn’t stand it. “I’ve never met such a b*tchy man. I’ll run him over.”
With that, Luden stepped on the accelerator.
To his surprise, Alex was holding a brick that he had picked up somewhere in his hand behind his back.
Whoosh!
Alex smashed it in the direction of the driver’s seat.
The windshield was instantly shattered. The huge brick passed through the glass panel and knocked against Luden’s chin. A large amount of blood instantly gushed out. Luden also subconsciously spun the steering wheel to dodge the brick. In the end, the van crashed into a Mercedes-Benz nearby.
Luden touched his chin. When he saw blood on his hand, he immediately became furious.
“This jerk! I have to kill him!” Luden immediately operated the van with the intention of reversing the car.
As a result, he accidentally turned off the engine. When he tried to turn on the engine again, he realized that it simply couldn’t be turned on. Luden became so angry that he repeatedly smashed the steering wheel.
“Hahahaha. Like I said, you’re driving a garbage van. How dare you behave so arrogantly with me? I’m afraid you might not know this, but even a large garlic is more expensive than this garbage of yours. Great, now your garbage van can’t be driven anymore. What else can you run me over with? Your pig brain?”
Luden couldn’t hold back anymore. He immediately opened the door and wanted to get out.
The boss asked, “Wait a second. Something feels wrong. Where did this man come from? Could he be someone who works for Wayne Larsen?”
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 1020
After the boss said that, Luden stopped moving momentarily.
Meanwhile, Phoebe’s heart lit up with hope. Suddenly, she realized that the voice of the man outside sounded familiar. She felt as if she had heard it somewhere before… Right after that, she suddenly remembered. Didn’t that voice belong to that jerk, Alex Rockefeller?
Why was the jerk here?
In the end, after yelling at them, Alex ran off.
The boss sighed in relief.
Luden couldn’t hold back any longer and said, “Boss, that’s the b*tchy man. I must teach him a lesson.”
As a result, when Luden rushed outside the van, he realized Alex had already disappeared.
“What do we do, boss? The van is broken!” Luden came back while cursing. They could not go anywhere without a working vehicle.
“F*ck!”
The boss looked at Phoebe. “Let’s drive her car. Check her purse and see if there’s a key inside.”
“There’s a key. In fact, it’s a BMW,” another man soon said.
It was Cheryl Coney’s BMW.
“Let’s get down and change to the new car!”
The group of men didn’t have a choice but to leave their dilapidated van behind and look for Phoebe’s BMW. However, right then, a person sneakily appeared behind the boss.
“Hey!” The person slapped on the crown of the boss’ head.
The boss jerked his head around. When he saw that the person was Alex from earlier, he suddenly felt goosebumps all over his body. Subconsciously, he reached for Phoebe’s neck. However, as soon as be extended his hands, Alex grabbed them. With a loud crack, the boss’s wrist was broken, and bits of his bones fell off.
“Ouch…!”
The boss cried out painfully. He nearly passed out.
Although Phoebe didn’t know what was happening, she could feel someone forcibly grabbing her by her waist. Her body uncontrollably fell into this person’s arms.
Phoebe seemed to be able to smell the jerk’s scent. He smelled inexplicably nice, unlike other people. Immediately after that, a crackling sound was heard. The scene became quiet. She could only hear several men wailing in pain.
In the next moment, Phoebe could see light again.
Alex had removed the cloth over her head. Then, he untied the rope around her hand and asked, “Are you alright, Miss Larsen?”
It would’ve been better if Alex didn’t ask the question. As soon as he did, Phoebe started crying. She suddenly pounced onto his body and circled her arms tightly around his neck. “You jerk! I was terrified. I thought I’d be done for. Thankfully, you appeared in time.”
Alex was shocked. “What did you call me?”
“Ahhh!”
Only then did Phoebe realize that she had accidentally called Alex’s nickname given by her. Previously, when she spoke to Cheryl, she had gotten used to calling him a jerk. “Did I call you? I don’t know. I feel a little disoriented right now. I don’t know if I called you earlier either.”
Alex was speechless.
He pulled her away from his body before pointing at the four men on the ground.
“Do you know these people?” Alex asked.
