The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 1031
When Alex finished speaking, he waved his hand hard. An overwhelming aura rose vigorously and pushed the two old men, Frederick and Zander, rolling out of the villa. They were then continuously pushed out of the Villa’s gate.
When they climbed to their feet, their faces and noses were inevitably swollen.
Fortunately, Alex had used an ingenious technique in the process and did not cause any irreparable damage. Otherwise, even Mystic-ranked fighters would have been smacked to death by that blow right there and then.
“Hmph, this wealthiest man of West California still cannot get rid of his nature of being a parvenu despite his old age. His mind is full of ideas about speculation and profiteering,” Carey said as she snorted coldly.
“Mom, do you know him?” Daya asked.
“I can’t say that I know him. I just heard your grandpa talking about this man back then. When he was young, he was a troublemaker. He came from a family of relatively low background. He’s also uncultured. Later, I heard that he accidentally saved a wealthy businessman. Then, the businessman took him into the business industry. Unexpectedly, that businessman was avenged by his enemy, and his entire family was killed. In the end, he took all the advantage of it and became the current wealthiest man in West California on this basis.”
Daya was startled for a brief moment. “So, he had gone through such things. He really has a fortunate life.”
However, Carey only shook her head. “Not at all, there were some twists and turns as well as other internal stories only god knows, but it’s hard to be told. I also heard your grandpa accidentally mentioning it on one occasion. This Frederick Duncan wasn’t honorable in the annihilation case of the businessman’s family back then. It seemed that he’s the one who tipped the enemy off.”
“Huh?” The few of them were startled for a brief moment.
In that instant, their impression of Frederick deteriorated greatly. However, it was just a brief interlude at first, so everyone did not care much about it.
After finishing his meal, Alex looked at the damaged villa and the huge, damaged iron gate that had yet to be repaired. He said, “This house needs a bit of repair. My Rockefeller Manor just happens to be back in order already. I’ll get ready to go there and take a look. Are you guys interested?”
“Yes!”
“I want to see it too!”
The few women did not object, so they left the villa right there and then.
***
On the other hand, Frederick’s expression darkened like an iron cooking pot.
At this moment, he felt his stomach seemed to hurt faintly again. He turned to Zander with a vicious look, as if he were a fierce beast that wanted to devour him. “You useless thing that fails to accomplish anything, what did I tell you before this? You have stirred up the trouble and tried to show off? Oh, great now. I’ll find you and bury you along with me if I were to die.”
There was a fleeting cold light in Zander’s eyes, but there was no expression on his face. He said, “Old Fred, keep your calm. I think that brat must have deceived you. To be frank, he couldn’t be the Immortal Doctor because the real Immortal Doctor in America could only appear in our Witch Doctor Sect…”
He told him the matter of the Immortal Doctor again. In the end, he said, “If I’m not wrong, he must have used some kinds of smokescreens earlier to make us both feel that the condition had improved. But, in fact, it didn’t. It was all just an illusion… I think his final goal was to scam your money.”
Frederick coldly snorted. “How do you explain that rejuvenation pill then? That woman suddenly became ten years younger. We both saw it with our own eyes.”
“Make-up, it must be make-up.”
Then, Zander continued, “I’ll give a call to Witch Doctor Sect to ask if he has actually seen our young master. Do you also believe such a ridiculous thing like male pregnancy? So, this shows that those people probably spewed nonsense. Nothing that has been said could be trusted.”
Zander immediately took his phone and made a call.
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 1032
Although his master was dead, he would return to Witch Doctor Sect once a while to participate in some grand celebrations whatsoever. Hence, he also made a few friends. Now, he was making a call to a person in Witch Doctor Sect all year round.
“What? The young master is pregnant? Old Zander, do you have a loose screw? A young master is a man. How could he be impregnated?”
“But, Master Bayer brought back a pregnant woman. I heard that the fetus inside this woman’s belly is very strange. It couldn’t be aborted at all.”
Zander was not interested in the pregnant woman who was brought back by Levi Bayer. After acquiring the definite answer, he laughed heartily. He turned to Frederick and said, “Old Fred, I’ve already asked about it. That brat is just nothing but nonsense. Our young master couldn’t be better. Nothing has happened to him at all.”
Under Zander’s various inducements, Frederick gradually began to doubt Alex. He wondered if Alex had deceived him. After all, there was really no precedent for the treatment of late-stage gastric cancer in the world. Moreover, Alex was too young.
***
In Witch Doctor Sect, the sect master Gunni Bayer had a sullen face. A pile of data was placed in front of him, information about Alex Rockefeller in them.
His son, Levi was sitting to his right.
His distended belly had already returned to normal now compared to several days ago, but his resentment toward Alex did not reduce the slightest. On the contrary, it had become even more intense.
Gunni threw the pile of data at Levi. “Just read it!”
After Levi finished reading it, he asked with a surprised expression, “Are these data real? This Rockefeller guy was still a useless son-in-law a few months ago. He has actually soared this far now?”
Gunni said, “There’s definitely no problem with the data. I asked Granny Wich to investigate it. She’s the most informed person in our Witch Doctor Sect, and her information channel is very reliable.”
“But, he didn’t know any medical skills three months ago!”
“That could only explain one thing. This guy had just gotten a chance encounter some time ago. Regardless of the Thirteen Acupunctures of Hell or the other medical skills, they are all from our Immortal Doctor’s Legacy. Based on this, I have the reason to believe that he had acquired the legacy from the Immortal Doctor, Guilherme Extraordinaire.”
“Huh? So, you are saying that he’s really an Immortal Doctor?”
Gunni let out a cold snort. “The Immortal Doctor’s Legacy has always been inherited by our Witch Doctor Sect for the past several thousands of years. The medical doctor of the previous generation, Guilherme, was the traitor to our Witch Doctor Sect. He was expelled from Witch Doctor Sect and took away the Legacy. We have the responsibility to get it back.”
“Dad, what do you mean?”
“He has just acquired the Legacy, and his foundation is still weak. There’s still time for us to snatch it back from him.”
Levi was startled. “How do we snatch it? As far as I know, Immortal Doctor’s Legacy is like the divine enlightenment in Buddhism. It’s instilled into one’s consciousness right away. We can’t possibly switch his mind with mine, right?”
Gunni said, “The Legacy of our Witch Doctor Sect has been passed down for several thousands of years. How many stunning geniuses have appeared in the sect? Could it be that you think the title of the witch doctor is just for show?” Of course, there are some mystical means, but don’t you worry. As long as that guy comes to our Witch Doctor Sect, I’ll have a way to allow you to steal his Legacy.”
“Alright, thanks, Dad.”
“But, we still need one item, that’s the Jade of Origin from the Legacy of the witch doctors. The information carried by Granny Wich is still limited. I want you to head to California. Keep a close watch on this guy and find out the source of the Legacy acquired by him. Most importantly, bring back the Jade of Origin from the Legacy. I’ll get the Four Great Ghost Servants to accompany you.”
Levi’s eyes glistened. What he wanted the most was revenge. He was very confident with the help of the Four Great Ghost Servants.
Besides, he said, “Dad, that Carol Rockefeller used to be a family with that Rockefeller guy. If we could get through her, we could get twice the result with half the effort.”
Gunni said, “Let’s go see her right now.”
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 1033
Ever since coming out of the Triangle River Delta Medical Exchange that day, Carol could not wait and had sex with Levi. Of course, she was completely forced.
Was there any ordinary person who would be willingly impregnated with a haunting fetus?
Furthermore, the entire process in the car was accompanied by the old fart, Hosiah Qantas, because he must handle the casting of Grafting. After two full hours, the haunting fetus in Levi’s belly was successfully transferred into Carol’s belly.
At the time, she also thought that her belly would explode.
However, it did not happen.
Not only did it not explode, but she even felt the haunting fetus in her belly, just like an ordinary person bearing a child. She actually felt the fetal movement. She then did a medical check-up, and more even more bizarrely, the fetal heartbeat was detected.
The fetus in her belly was created out of nothing. It was just a matter of a few days. How could there be a fetal heartbeat?
At this moment, what made her fall apart more was that her belly was at its limit. A burst of immense pain came through. It was even bleeding down there.
Soon after, a short older man ran toward her.
At a glance, he actually said that she had gone into labor and was going to give birth to a baby.
“What the f*ck, I can’t believe it!” Carol broke down, shocked. She did not know what to do. Of course, she did not have to do anything.
The short older man brought a series of tools right away, preparing to help her deliver her baby. He even injected her with oxytocin to induce labor.
“Ahhh! ”
Soon after, Carol cried out loud in pain.
When Gunni and Levi came over, she let out the most terrible scream.
“The baby is going to be born so soon?” Gunni was a little surprised, yet he did not react too much. He only said, “I want to see what kind of thing she could give birth to, too. After all, I have never seen the combination of a haunting fetus and a human fetus.”
Levi was a bit shocked. “You are saying that she was really pregnant before this.”
Gunni said, “Of course!”
That short older man smiled enigmatically. “Young Master, it’s because I had put something inside her belly. Her fetus could only grow so fast under the influence of the haunting fetus. It will definitely be very wonderful when it’s born later!”
Carol was suffering from immense pain now, yet she was terribly scared.
She did not know what kind of thing she could give birth to. She was afraid that the thing born would be an ugly monster. She did not have the strength to give birth to the baby due to such a worry.
She begged. “Young Master Bayer, help me. It really hurts!”
Levi said, “How can I help you when you’re the one delivering the baby? I can’t help you. Your baby can’t be delivered via C-section.”
Gunni said, “You have to divert your attention for a bit to deliver this child successfully. Otherwise, you will die because of dystocia. Think about the person you hate the most and the thing that you want to get revenge on the most. Then, push hard.”
Upon hearing his words, Carol immediately thought of Alex Rockefeller. If it were not for Alex, she would not have suffered from such misery.
Then, she screamed like a lunatic, “Alex Rockefeller, I want you to be dead. I’ll definitely want you to die horribly. Wait for me. I’ll come after you soon! Not only will I kill you, but I also want to kill all the people that you care about. Hahaha!”
With her laughter, she successfully gave birth to a baby.
“Bwahaha, bwahaha!”
A stunning scene appeared.
The baby’s first cry was not the cry of normal babies, but it seemed like an ambiguity of crying and laughing. Furthermore, the voice did not sound like a child but of an older man.
Looking at the physical appearance, its limbs were healthy, and the facial features were also neat. However, wrinkles covered its body. It was particularly obvious on the face. It was a lively old man. Moreover, it had a tail!
“Congratulations, it’s a boy!” The peculiar old man smiled and said, “This tail here is because of the relatively short period of pregnancy. It’ll break gradually.”
Carol did not seem to be interested in the baby at all. She took a look at the baby. Their eyes met, but she could only feel the chills all over her body. As her soul trembled from the chill, she shouted, “Take him away, take him away. Hurry and take him away. He’s not my child, no…”
The old man said, “Why not? He’s your child. Moreover, how could he be taken away now? He has just been born. It’s about time to breastfeed him.”
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 1034
“Huh?”
Soon after, the ugly looking baby was placed on her belly.
He immediately crawled up her abdomen, still laughing. The more Carol heard it, the more terrified she felt. Very soon, the baby found the right spot and bit down hard.
“Ahh!” Carol shrieked.
However, how could she have any breast milk?
Normal people could only have breast milk when the progesterone was at a very high level after ten months of pregnancy. However, it only took her less than five days to deliver the baby. It would be a wonder if she even had any breast milk.
However, this baby was different from ordinary babies. What he drank was not breast milk but blood.
It was until this moment that Carol only realized this baby actually had teeth after birth. Moreover, the teeth were very sharp. They were not like human teeth at all. After feeding the baby with her blood, Carol unexpectedly calmed down. Her gaze when looking at the baby had also become gentle. At this moment, she actually felt a blood connection with him.
The short old man said, “You need to feed him blood for three days continuously. You don’t have to feed him anymore after three days. Hahaha, I’ll raise him to be the hero of the generation!”
Upon hearing his words, her eyes glistened briefly.
***
“Mom!”
After cleaning up herself, Carol gave her mother, Mariah Hamilton, a call.
Mariah was very excited as she received the call. “Carol, you have finally called me. That’s great, your dad and I thought you couldn’t come back! It’s great that you’re still alive! How are you now?”
Carol said, “I’m fine!”
She was holding the baby in her hand. At this moment, the baby let out a burst of sharp crying laughter.
Mariah was startled for a brief moment. “What sound is that?”
Carol said, “Mom, I just gave birth to a grandson for you.”
“Huh? What? What did you say?”
“I said, I just gave birth to a grandson for you.”
“This… this is impossible! How many days have passed since you left? Even if you were already impregnated when you were with Seamus Owen last time, it can’t be this fast!” Mariah was appalled. She could not believe her daughter at all.
“This child is given to me by Alex Rockefeller,” Carol said viciously.
“What? Alex Rockefeller’s child? Y-you and Alex Rockefeller…”
Mariah screamed as she could not accept the fact at all.
Carol said, “Of course, it’s not Alex’s child. This is a combination of a human fetus and haunting fetus. I was pregnant at first, but because of Alex, a haunting fetus got into my belly. And then, it turned into this now! He made me miserable! During this time, I was bullied by an old fart and harmed by him as well. I, Carol Rockefeller, will definitely get my revenge on this.”
Mariah also hated Alex to the core. “This brute has done such a nasty thing to you. He should die a miserable death! Besides, your sister’s leg is crippled. Although she was incapacitated by Seamus Owen’s poison, in the end, it was all because of Alex Rockefeller. Our house was even taken away by him.”
Carol said, “Mom, I’ll come back to California in three days. When the time comes, someone will help me. He will definitely make Alex Rockefeller suffer a fate worse than death!”
***
At this moment, Alex had already moved some necessary items from Maple Villa to Rockefeller Manor. Once again, he returned to the place where he had lived since childhood.
Waltz strolled around in his room and said, “Senior, your room is too empty. I’m going to buy a bed and put it here. We’ll be able to talk all night in the future.”
She said this in front of the three women of the Stoermers.
The atmosphere became a bit awkward right there and then.
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 1035
However, the Stoermers of Michigan had a differing view about marriage from the general public. What they accepted was the tradition that had been passed down since ancient times, to have multiple wives and concubines.
Besides, the Stoermers had already known a long time ago that an emotional foundation had been built between Waltz and Alex. In terms of deep affection, Daya was not as good as Waltz.
Carey said, “This room is indeed a little huge, but it’s kinda too strange to put two beds in it. How about we order a huge bed of five or six meters wide. When you have kids later, it won’t be crowded.”
Alex stared at Carey. He was overjoyed!
‘Oh, what a peerless, great mother-in-law! She has even prepared this kind of superb men’s welfare for me, sparing me from having to say it out loud.’
At this moment, Alex’s phone rang. At a glance, it was an unknown number. He casually picked up the call. To his surprise, Phoebe Larsen was on the other end of the phone.
“Hello, where are you now?”
When Alex heard her voice, he recalled the bathing scene of hers in the bathroom last night. Then, he quickly suppressed his thoughts and said, “Ms. Larsen, is there anything I can help you with?”
Phoebe said, “I’m going back to Michigan soon. Before I leave, I wish to meet you and thank you in person for your life saving grace, lest you turn around later and say I’m an ungrateful little woman with no conscience.”
Alex nonchalantly said, “I’ll accept your thanks, but there’s no need to meet up. I’m not free.”
The moment the three words ‘l’m not free’ were uttered, the flame of anger inside Phoebe’s heart well up again. ‘Could it be that I really don’t have the slightest charm? This man is driving me crazy!’
“Alright, it’s not like I want to meet you. I don’ t want to meet you either. It’s my mom who wants to meet you.”
Alex was about to refuse her right there and then. ‘I’m already upset to meet you, yet you want me to meet your mom as well? I’m overwhelmed.’
However, Phoebe’s words later made Alex change his mind. She said, “My mom said that she knew your dad! She has also seen you before!”
***
Feeling doubtful, Alex came to the windy pavilion by Willow Lake as decided with Phoebe.
He could see Phoebe with another woman from a far distance.
Motionless, the woman sat with a virtuous posture, looking at Willow Lake’s heaving and subsiding ripples.
“Mom, he’s here!” Phoebe said in a low voice when she saw Alex coming over. Only then did the woman retract her gaze and turned to Alex.
The moment their eyes met, Alex clearly felt the woman’s turbulent emotions, shock, anxiety, and there was some feminine shyness as well as a trace of unspeakable misery.
The woman looked in her early forties and was well maintained. Her skin was snow white like jade, and she had an oval face. Her facial features were exquisite, especially her pair of eyes that were unforgettable at first sight
“You are… Aunt Grace?” Alex felt a bit surprised and in disbelief. “You are Phoebe Larsen’s mom?”
He had a good memory and recalled many things at once. He remembered that he had accompanied his father, William Rockefeller, to Japan for a visit when he was a high school freshman. He met this woman then.
Alex still remembered that her last name was Larsen.
Her name was Grace Larsen.
However, he only cared about the fun of traveling and did not pay much attention to Grace back then. At that time, William also did not introduce her to him and just said that she was a friend. He did not cross paths with her again later.
Young Alex could not see the problem. However, he could see many details now.
Grace was a fighter, and her cultivation base was not basic. She had martial cultivation of Intermediate-Earth rank. It was already very terrific in America.
What made Alex’s heart thumped even more was… When Grace saw him, the look in her eyes seemed too complicated. It seemed like the joy and excitement beyond a wife’s words when she finally saw her husband coming home after waiting for him persistently.
However, this was too absurd.
“Alex, I didn’t expect you to have grown so much. You look just like your father. At first glance, I thought you were your dad, William Rockefeller!”
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 1036
Alex’s heart sank with restlessness.
Recalling the look in her eyes when she first saw him, he secretly thought, ‘It’s over. My dad was a Casanova. Could it be that he hooked up with this Aunt Grace as well? If that’s the case, it would be too embarrassing.’
‘Oh, that’s not right.’
‘Phoebe Larsen, she can’t be my dad’s offspring, right?’
For a brief moment, he actually had an illusion of becoming Giacomo Casanova.
On the other hand, Phoebe exclaimed, “Mom, you guys really know each other? That’s so strange. How did you meet his father?”
Alex was curious as well.
Grace said, “It’s a long story. Alex’s dad, William Rockefeller, was like an elder brother to me. He could be said to be my half master. My martial cultivation was actually passed down from Alex’s dad.”
As she spoke, she started reminiscing.
She then looked at Alex and turned to her daughter again. She smiled as she said, “Back then, it was a night with a bright moon on the sea. I was stranded on an isolated island with Bro William as well as several friends at the time. In our conversation, we even used to mention arranging a child betrothal for you both!”
“Huh?”
Both Alex and Phoebe were stunned at the same time. Phoebe’s face flushed even more.
Alex asked, “Aunt Grace, could it be that you have met my dad ages ago?”
Grace nodded. “Indeed, when I met your dad, Phoebe was still in her first grade! In fact, your dad even hugged Phoebe before!”
“Huh? Why can’t I remember it?” Phoebe was extremely shocked.
“There was a tall uncle who gave you a present on your birthday that year. Do you still remember it?”
With that said, Phoebe really had a little impression of him. That uncle said that he was her mother’s colleague, and his gift was very special. It was a string of emerald rabbit necklace. Since she was born in the Rabbit Year, she had been wearing it later until she was in third grade where a car accident occurred. She was fine, but the emerald rabbit necklace was broken.
She even felt sad about this for a long time.
As the conversation went on, Alex and Phoebe found that the two of them actually had many interactions when they were very young.
For instance, Alex had a birthday present that was a sailing boat model. The words “Plain sailing” and “Bee” were also written on it. It was actually made personally by Phoebe when she was in sixth grade.
This predestined relationship was too deep!
Both of them were a little dumbfounded.
“But, I definitely didn’t expect that your dad passed away last year all of a sudden.” When Grace said this, she seemed mournful. She actually cried with her face covered. “If you hadn’t saved Phoebe this time, I wouldn’t have known this matter too. Bro William was a genius. How could he just… Because of an accident…”
Phoebe felt strange when she saw her mother referred to Alex’s father as ‘Bro William’ and even cried with her face covered because of William’s death.
After meeting Alex’s eyes, she let out a snort, as if she wanted to blame her mother’s crying on him.
Alex asked, “When was the last time you met my dad, Aunt Grace?”
Grace sighed. “That was already five years ago. I don’t know if your dad had told you before. Back then, we belonged to a certain hidden department. Your dad was hired externally and was our chief instructor at the time. Something happened later. That department was closed down. You dad and I also…”
Something had happened between Grace and William. They had stopped contacting each other after that. Now, he was unexpectedly separated from her in death forever.
At the windy pavilion, the talk lasted for two hours.
In the end, Grace said, “Alex, I can rest assured after seeing you with such a good prospect. Thank you again for saving my daughter. I hope you will visit my house in Michigan when you are free.”
Alex nodded nonchalantly.
At this moment, Phoebe took out a paper bag and handed it to Alex. “This is for you, as a repayment for your life saving grace.”
He opened it and took a look. It was a suit.
Before parting, Alex whispered to Phoebe, “Your dad, is he your biological dad?”
“What do you mean?”
“I’m a bit worried that you’re my biological sister.”
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 1037
Phoebe’s expression changed abruptly. “Impossible, absolutely impossible!”
“Hehe, I’m just saying. I, too, think it‘s impossible!” Alex smiled.
“Hmph!”
Phoebe stomped her feet. “Is the boat I gave you before still there?”
“That broken boat is so ugly…” Seeing Phoebe’s cold yet stern expression, he immediately said, “I think it’s still there!”
“Now we’re talking! Sigh, who would have thought the little boy in my imagination has turned into a jerk like you. All the beautiful illusions belonging to my childhood are shattered.”
Alex scoffed. “Touché! Get back to Michigan!”
Phoebe gritted her teeth. “Hmph, I’ll bite you to death if you ever dare to mistreat Cheryl.”
Grace, who was walking in front of them, deliberately stayed away for a while. Seeing them whispering to each other, she couldn’t help but think of something. ‘Since Bro William has passed away, it’d be perfect if these two kids could tie the knot. It’d be considered to be fulfilling a promise of the past.’
***
Grace drove on the way back.
Phoebe suddenly asked, “Mom, I still don’t know what you did before this. How could you be a colleague of Alex’s father? I heard my friend say that his father was a businessman last time.”
Grace shook her head and said, “That’s just an illusion. I couldn’t talk about my original job because of confidentiality. But now that the department has been shut down, and I am already retired, it doesn’t hurt to tell you about it! Our original department was known as Hidden Dragon, a special operations unit. You can think of it as a special agent.”
“Huh?”
Phoebe was appalled. She heard about this matter for the first time. “Mom, were you in charge of logistics then?”
Grace shook her head. “I was the team leader of a special operations team.”
“Huh?”
The image of a female James Bond immediately surfaced in Phoebe’s mind. “That sounds amazing! What about William Rockefeller?”
“We met during a mission. He was involved in a dispute that year. We thought he was the mastermind, but we found out that there were discrepancies in the facts. That case was complicated and involved lots of confidential information… In the end, William managed to turn the tide, or else all the members of our team wouldn’t have been able to return.”
Phoebe wanted to ask about the details, but Grace refused to speak while citing the principle of confidentiality as her reason.
In the end, Phoebe could not help asking, “Mom, William Rockefeller was a genius and had great capabilities. He must have been popular with women, right? Did you take a fancy to him?”
She was really worried that Alex was right about it.
Grace’s face stiffened. “What nonsense are you talking about? When William and I met, we both already had families and children.”
“Mom, I realized that there was a glisten in your eyes when you were talking about Alex’s father. This is something never seen before when you were with Dad.”
Grace’s eyes were suddenly welling up with tears. Then, she said, “You don’t understand it. That’s called admiration, adoration. William Rockefeller’s presence was like a god to all our members in Hidden Dragon. As long as he said the word, all of us would be willing to die for him.”
“That’s too much, isn’t it?”
“Let’s stop talking about this. What about you and Alex? Have you taken a fancy to him? What I said earlier was all true. You both had a child betrothal when you were young. Although it’s a bit informal, you both were also considered childhood sweethearts… I just read his file. He’s a divorcé and has no children. I heard that the woman was still a virgin until the divorce.”
Speechless, Phoebe shook her head, yet her cheeks were flushed.
***
Alex sat alone at the windy pavilion for a long time. Watchng the heaving and subsiding ripples on the lake, his mind also followed the movements and became restless.
‘Dad, how many secrets did you hide from us?’
Alex felt that the father in his impression was getting increasingly vague and he could no longer see him clearly. Based on the information acquired from someone else’s mouth, was that person really his own father?
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 1038
In fact, he even worked as a chief instructor for special agents.
Could it be that he had used Rockefeller Group, his mother, and him as smokescreens to confuse others?
‘Then, how sincere were you toward us?’
For a moment, he even wanted to give up on looking for William. He felt that William had concealed too much information from them. Even his bed partner did not know his actual situation. How cruel was it to Brittany?
At the same time, at Lush Cosmetics in Michigan.
With the joining forces of Brittany and Maya coupled with Alex acting as the go between, they had successfully acquired the dying enterprise belonging to Susan Hunter’s family, including a total of 1500 workers and a factory building with an area of more than six thousand square meters.
After completing the procedures, Douglas Hunter was very happy.
Although his daughter Susan was already in good health and was no longer in a hurry to use the money to treat her disease, he managed to give a decent way out to the employees under him. Now, Lush Cosmetics had advertisements all over the world. If one were to ask around for a bit, he would know that this was the most popular skincare brand recently, for sure, bar none.
“Mrs. Rockefeller, the handover procedure went smoothly. Let’s have dinner together!” Douglas said with a smile. However, he did not know that his daughter used to have a little known emotional experience with Brittany’s husband, William Rockefeller.
He did not even know who Brittany’s husband was!
“Sure!” Brittany said.
Then, Brittany met Susan during dinner. Unfortunately, Brittany did not know all along that Susan was her love rival. However, Susan knew Brittany was William’s legitimate wife.
“Mrs. Rockefeller, I used to hear about some of your affairs. Your husband passed away a year ago due to a car accident. And, you were just discharged from the hospital some time ago. I didn’t expect that you could recover from such sad affairs within a short time. You have even built such an amazing brand like Lush Cosmetics. I really admire you!” Susan tried to make insinuations as she said, “It seems that incident didn’t affect you very much. Is it because the relationship of you both was already at odds then?”
Brittany was stunned as she did not know why Susan would ask such a question.
After taking a look at Susan, she said, “You’re wrong. My husband and I were in a good relationship.”
Susan said, “If I were you, I would have failed to recover after such a setback! It looks like Mrs. Rockefeller is really a strong woman!”
“Cough, cough…”
Douglas hurriedly cleared his throat and signaled his daughter with his eyes to not pick a fight. ‘Really, why did you touch on a sore point with her? She has just lost her spouse. Why are you talking about this?’
He did not know that the sense of vanity in Susan had risen after meeting Brittany. She felt that an ordinary woman like Brittany was a bit unworthy of William.
At this moment, someone called Brittany on her phone.
It was a call from Chloe Zea. She sounded extremely anxious. “Mrs. Rockefeller, something’s happened. Stephen Hendrix has been kidnapped. Nicholas Hudson is injured after being beaten by someone too. Also, another two colleagues… Were beaten to death.”
“What?” Brittany stood up right away. There was a cold light in her eyes as she glared.
Her hand on the table was filled with an extreme chill. With a burst of anger, she froze half of the dishes on the table.
Hiss!
She narrowed her eyes in disbelief.
She thought that Brittany was a very ordinary woman who was unworthy of William, but she possessed peerless martial arts. She was not an existence whom she could compete with at all.
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 1039
“Mom, what happened?” Maya did not pay attention to the voice on the other end of Brittany’s phone. Only until this moment did she realize that something was not right.
Brittany put down the phone. “Someone has kidnapped Stephen Hendrix and even beaten two of our people to death.”
Upon uttering such a remark, everyone present was a little shocked.
Douglas said, “Mrs. Rockefeller, do you need me to step in and lend you a hand? I, Douglas Hunter, still have quite a bit of reputation in this area of Michigan.”
Brittany said, “I still don’t know the exact situation for now. If there’s a need for that, I’ll come and ask you for help. Let’s call it a day for today’s dinner. We have to hurry back and take a look.”
Douglas hurriedly nodded in agreement.
After Brittany and Maya left, Douglas looked at the dishes on the half frozen table. He stretched out his hand to try it out. As a result, he immediately retracted his hand.
If he had not retracted his hand fast enough, his finger would have been frozen.
“Who would have thought Mrs. Rockefeller to be such a hidden master? I’m afraid many Grandmasters can’t even perform this kind of frost sealing technique! No wonder she could develop Lush Cosmetics to such an extent in a short time.”
Susan’s expression darkened as she could not utter a word.

Soon after, Alex received a call from Brittany.
“Alex, hurry and come to Premier Hospital in Michigan. Nicholas is gravely injured, and his life is in danger.”
Thump!
As Alex, who was initially driving home, heard this news, his heart shook violently. He hurriedly turned the Aston Martin around. The huge engine roar resounded across the entire street as he rushed toward Michigan like lightning.
After getting onto the highway, he even floored the gas pedal.
“Damn, is this man mad?”
“What’s the hurry for driving this fast?!”
“You think you’re great for driving a sports car? I wish you’d drive over the guardrail!”
Along the way, there was no lack of vicious scolding from some people. Even some young men, who drove sports cars, wanted to race him to determine who could drive faster. However, they soon discovered that the Aston Martin was gone in the blink of an eye.
When the highway display board showed California license plate XXX reached 240 miles per hour for speeding, countless people cursed the driver for being a madman.
Among them were Grace Larsen and Phoebe Larsen, who were driving back to Michigan.
Phoebe said, “The rich heirs nowadays are unreasonable one after another. Isn’t that guy afraid of getting killed in a fatal car crash for driving so fast on the highway? When something happens later, he will harm others and himself too.”
Unexpectedly, Grace just said, “Maybe that guy is really in a hurry!”
“Mom, really? You are still defending that kind of person?”
Grace smiled without saying a word. When she was a Hidden Dragon member, she had to race against time during her missions. Not to mention 240 miles per hour; she had even driven about 300 miles per hour. Back then, she turned a modified car worth tens of millions of dollars driven by her into a scrap right away.
“Where are you going? Home, or to the hospital? Phoebe said, “Let’s go to the hospital!”
From California to Michigan, the initial two hours drive was forcibly shortened to forty five minutes by Alex. However, when he rushed to the operating room’s waiting area at the hospital, he heard someone crying.
It was Chloe Zea!
Brittany and Maya were also there. All of them had an expression of grief and resentment.
Nicholas was already pushed out of the room with his entire body covered with a piece of white cloth. The chief surgeon said regretfully, “I’m sorry, we’ve done our best. The patient’s head injury was too severe… My condolences!”
Chloe sat on the ground, crying in sorrow.
She and Nicholas had met their parents. They had been discussing the marriage lately. They had even chosen their wedding photography date, but she didn’t expect such an accident to occur.
When the hospital nurse was about to drag Nicholas to the morgue, a voice suddenly said, “Wait a minute, he can still be saved.”
The one who spoke was naturally Alex Rockefeller.
He had just used spiritual consciousness to briefly scan Nicholas’s body earlier and found that his soul had not departed. So, he would have a chance to change the fate of his life. His injury was on his head. Many meridians inside had been destroyed after being hit by a palm.
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 1040
“Alex…”
“Lil’ Bro…”
Seeing Alex rushing over, everyone was excited. It was as if they had found their mainstay.
Alex knew that the situation was urgent, so he pushed Nicholas back into the operating room right there and then.
“Hey, who are you? He’s dead!”
“Are you nuts? You can’t simply enter the operating room. You’ll contaminate the entire environment…” A few doctors immediately shouted.
“His life is at stake. Mom, stop them!” After pushing Nicholas into the room, Alex immediately locked the door.
How could this be okay?
The few doctors certainly disagree with them.
“Are you guys trying to make a ruckus at the hospital?”
‘That guy is still fiddling with the corpse inside. What should we do if they were to slander us afterward?’ As the chief surgeon thought about it, he immediately shouted, “Call the police and the security…”
Smack!
Brittany threw out a bank card.
“Here are twenty million dollars. We need to borrow your operating room for a while. You have the final say on the compensation. If that man is gone, it has nothing to do with you too.”
In that instant, the scene became quiet.
“Twenty million dollars, really?”
“You don’t believe it? I’ll send a message for inquiry.”
Soon after, a bank message entered Brittany’s phone with a chime. The balance displayed exactly twenty million dollars.
Meanwhile, soon after, Grace reached Premier Hospital in Michigan. After taking a casual sweeping glance, she saw theAston Martin parked in front of the entrance. Then, she looked at the license plate. “Hey, isn’t this the wild, speeding car on the highway just now?”
Surprised, Phoebe said, “It really is.”
Grace said with a smile, “Told you, that guy must have had an urgent errand for driving that fast.”
Grace was an Earth-ranked fighter with a high level of cultivation. Now that someone wanted to harm her daughter, she certainly had to accompany her all the way. As a result, when they arrived at Phoebe’s office, her colleagues’ gossip came through.
“Have you guys heard about it? Operating room No. 3 has been occupied by a wealthy man.”
“A patient who has been declared dead was pushed back into the operating room. He actually wants to perform surgery on the corpse. Don’t you think it’s weird?”
“He’s alone too. I heard that he’s very young, in his twenties. Oh my goodness, he must be joking.”
“That woman simply threw twenty million dollars at the surgeons to borrow the operating room. Director Zul was speechless.”
Upon hearing these discussions, Phoebe was also surprised. A thought came to her mind. ‘That man can’t be the owner of the Aston Martin, right?’
Then, another thought inexplicably came up. ‘Could it be Alex Rockefeller?’
Otherwise, who else could cure a patient who had been declared dead? Alex, who was known as the Immortal Doctor, might be able to perform the miracle.
After a few minutes, another female nurse came running as she stumbled a little. “He’s saved, he’s saved. He’s actually saved. It’s simply a miracle. That young man is so powerful. He could actually still reverse brain death by saving a truly brain dead person, a skeleton with flesh.”
Those words alone shocked countless people.
Then, a group of doctors without any work in hand ran to the operating room No. 3, hoping to witness the miracle with their eyes.
Grace said, “If this man could save a person who’s declared dead, then he really has some tricks up his sleeve.”
Phoebe said with a strange expression, “Mom, I think that man might be Alex Rockefeller.”
“What? Alex knows medical skills?”
“He’s known as the Immortal Doctor.”
“Ah! The contemporary medical doctor?”
Grace jumped and rushed in that direction like a gust of wind.
