The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 1131

Having a second piece of emerald from the ores was considered to be good luck. Then, the latter ones couldn‘t be explained away with luck.

It was more absurd and strange.

The exploding cheers had long since attracted the onlookers present, and everyone couldn’t believe their own eyes. It felt like an illusion, but every single person here couldn’t be hallucinating the same thing. So, it must be real.

The attendant from the Golden Tower was stunned. The service boy and the security guard were also stunned.

Having worked here for so long, they had never seen anything like this happened before. Especially that service boy, when he thought about what Alex had said, he felt horrified.

‘Could it be that he could see whether or not there was an emerald inside the ores?’

What other explanation was there for this magical scene right in front of him?

It didn’t take long for all the ores in the cart to be cut open, and all of them were in the green. Even if it wasn’t emerald jadeites, they were still glassy emeralds. The worst type he got was the cloudy kind, but even that piece was large.

This was such a huge find. It was practically bigger than anything under the sky!

The most shocked and unable to accept this on the scene was Thea.

She hated Alex, and she had wished then that not a single emerald could be found in them when the stones were cut open. Not only was she disappointed, but she was almost going out of her mind. There were no words to describe this guy’s luck. She had some knowledge about the value of emeralds, especially the value of emerald jadeite. Its price was a little sky-high.

Now, there were a total of four pieces of emerald jadeite, and one of them was even the size of a human head.

Just that piece of emerald jadeite as huge as a human head could go for more than a billion if it was sold!

However, Alex’s favorite was not this piece.

It was a piece of black emerald!

In everyone’s eyes, this black emerald should be the least valuable among all the emeralds that had been cut open. On the contrary, this was the most valuable gemstone that couldn’t even be bought in the market, even if one wanted to.

It wasn’t called an emerald. To be more precise, it was called the Black Spirit Crystal.

It was even rarer than a spiritual marrow.

It was only the size of an adult’s fist, and the aura on it wasn’t very obvious. However, Alex knew that he could force out the Black Spirit within the crystal with special methods, and such a stone was worth hundreds of thousands of spiritual stones.

“What a great find!”

“That’s some damned good luck right there!”

Alex held the Black Spirit Crystal in his hand. Compared to this, the other emeralds that he got were not even worth mentioning.

Simultaneously, the happenings on the ground floor had immediately spread via word of mouth to the other floors of the Golden Tower. It was said that someone had bought dozens of ores, and every single ore was in the green, and the guy had gotten almost a billion from it! The rumor exploded almost instantly, and countless people rushed to the ground floor from the areas they were in, and soon it was packed like sardines, everyone pushing and fighting their way in to inquire whether it was real or not.

“What kind of logic is this, that every single piece was a hit?”

“Could it be that he has some sort of clairvoyance sight?”

“F*ck, if that kind of ability was real… It would be easy to become the richest man on earth in just a few minutes!”

The crowd was in an uproar.

They looked at Alex with eyes full of envy, jealousy, and even more complicated feelings. For example, they saw him as a tool for them to walk toward the pinnacle of life.

Alex sighed secretly in his heart.

This was the reason he hadn’t wanted anyone to see the ores being cut into in the first place. Now, he was obviously seen as a monster in some people’s eyes and a rule-breaker. When the news spread, countless trouble was likely awaiting him.

The female attendant and the security’s guard’s eyes met.

The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 1132

The security guard immediately retreated quietly, leaving the ground floor. He quickly went to report to the owner of the Golden Tower.

***

Simultaneously, the originally lively first to the third floor of the Golden Tower suddenly became sparse, and only a few people were left in the areas.

Usually, this wouldn’t be a problem.

However, the people from the Divine Constabulary were inside.

They were here to capture the owner of the Golden Tower, Giovanni Winn.

This was because the Divine Constabulary had a crucial piece of evidence that proved that Giovanni was connected to a factory that was manufacturing a new type of poison, and it was very likely to be the boss behind this poison manufacturing factory. The poison was something that had recently emerged, and it was more harmful than ordinary poisons. It was a kind of fluid that could be dropped into water for consumption, and it was extracted from a plant. It was also extremely difficult to identify and distinguish, and so far, it had caused hundreds of deaths, even thousands. It had also caused families to be broken apart and forced into poverty and homelessness.

At this moment, almost every single person in the Golden Tower had gone to the ground floor, which made some of the members from the Divine Constabulary stick out.

“Captain, what do we do?”

“The stone gambling on the ground floor is attracting too much attention. We’ll likely be exposed at this rate.”

“Who the heck is the one who caused such an uproar? If I ever get my hands on that person, I’ll flay their skin off!” The one who said this was the woman who had bumped into Alex a few times and the same woman staying in the inn room next to him. She was the captain of this Learn from the Divine Constabulary.

“We’ll make our move ahead of schedule. Everyone, strike when the opportunity comes,” she instructed.

The members from the Divine Constabulary immediately went into action.

***

On the other side, Giovanni was discussing business with Hubert.

However, Giovanni was clearly in a more advantageous position.

“Young Master Gordon, I have no worries about getting new players into my cosmeceutical business. I’ll be honest with you, the reason we gave Missouri’s Coleman family such a preferential price before was that they were so powerful, and I had no other choice but to give in because of that old man, Terrance, who kept pressuring me.

“Now that Terrance is dead, half the business of Missouri’s Coleman family have fallen into Michigan’s Stoermer family’s hands. What reason would I have to show further respect to the Coleman family? On the contrary, shouldn’t I be asking back the money that the Coleman family has earned at my expenses?

“Since you’re related to Missouri’s Coleman family, that’s even better. You should pay me back the sum of money first!”

“Once you’ve returned it, then we’ll talk about cooperating again.”

Giovanni wore a pair of sunglasses, and a string of green chrysoprase served as a necklace on his neck. There were also several emerald rings on his fingers. His hair was long and curly, and he was smoking a cigar with a malicious look upon his face as he looked at Hubert.

Hubert was dumbfounded.

He never expected that Giovanni wouldn’t even want to discuss business with him but instead wanted to ask for money. Using Missouri’s Coleman family’s name not only didn’t help him at all, but it caused a catastrophe for him instead.

“B-Boss Giovanni, how much do I need to pay back then?”

Giovanni chuckled, taking a puff of his cigar and blowing out a smoke circle before saying, “Ten billion. What do you think?”

‘What?!’

Hubert jumped to his feet.

This was impossible for him to do.

“Boss Winn, please don’t joke around. How can I possibly take out ten billion dollars?”

“It isn’t a problem if you can’t. You just don’t have to go back.” The smile on Giovanni’s face vanished instantly, and he put both his feet up on the coffee table, giving Hubert a hard look.

It was at this moment that a security guard knocked on the door and came in. It was the same security guard from the ground floor coming to give his report.

He immediately whispered something in Giovanni’s ear, and a stunned look crossed the man’s face. However, he then turned to Hubert, and it quickly turned into ecstasy.

The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 1133

What did it mean to have a man who could tell 100% whether there was an emerald inside the ores?

Giovanni was well aware. This meant supreme wealth.

This meant reaching the heavens in a single bound, an overwhelming advantage.

Would he still need to work so hard to operate the Golden Tower in such a desolate area with such a mysterious person by his side? Did he still have to engage in that cosmeceutical business? And, did he need to take the risk to create that new poison?

No, only a fool would do it.

When the time came, he could just head to Myanmar and pick and buy all the ores there that contained emeralds inside them. He could cut it open himself, and start an emerald business.

He could become the largest supplier of emerald jadeites, and he could also monopolize the entire business in the world. From then on, he could relax and have fun every day in a villa with women in his arms. When he thought about it, Giovanni’s heart started beating faster, and his breathing became laborious.

He looked at Hubert, then he laughed and said, “Young Master Gordon, I can let the ten billion go. You only need to give me one person.”

Hubert had no idea what was going on, so he asked, “Who?”

“The man who came with you,” Giovanni said.

Hubert was shocked for an instant He looked at Giovanni strangely. He was extremely surprised on the inside. Could it be… That this old man was a homosexual? And Alex had caught his eyes?

When Giovanni saw the expression upon Hubert’s face, he knew it was pointless to say anything else.

However, Alex was now inside his Golden Tower. He had his ways to keep the fellow in his home ground.

He immediately stood up with a smile upon his face and put the cigar back in his mouth before saying, “Come, let’s go meet this stone gambling master and congratulate him properly. We should also congratulate him for becoming the chief consultant of our Golden Tower.”

The security guard understood Giovanni’s intentions at once.

He responded in affirmative and then went to open the office’s doors to lead Giovanni down to the ground floor to look for Alex.

However, at this moment, a woman suddenly rushed forward, giving the security guard, who was walking away, a violent, sharp kick. Then, the black barrel of a gun was aimed at Giovanni, who had been walking behind the security guard.

It was the woman who was the captain of the team from the Divine Constabulary.

Her name was Soraya Mayes.

“Don’t move. The Divine Constabulary is handling this case. Giovanni Winn, you’re suspected of…”

She didn’t manage to finish her sentence before Giovanni suddenly spat out the cigar in his mouth, which shot out like a bullet at lightning speed.

“What?!”

Soraya’s eyes widened, her heart in shock.

The strength that Giovanni had just displayed far surpassed her, who was an advanced Mystic rank warrior. It was definitely the strength of an Earth rank warrior, but she couldn’t even tell what rank he was at.

‘Oh no!’

‘The intelligence for this mission was wrong!’

Just as Soraya had that thought, the half-burnt cigar slammed into her chest heavily. She had moved at the most critical juncture, and it had hit the right side of her chest. Otherwise, it would have hit the left side of her chest.

The moment the cigar hit her body, Soraya felt a rush of inner strength that could topple mountains and overturn seas burst forth from the tip of the cigar that touched her.

In that instant, she felt as though her body was going to be shattered.

However, her will power was considered formidable. Even though such a heavy blow had landed on her, she gritted her teeth and aimed her gun at Giovanni’s lower body, and fired with a ‘bang’!

The sound of a gunshot echoed through the building, instantly alarming everyone in the Golden Tower. Hubert, who was still in Giovanni’s office at this time, threw himself to the ground immediately, both hands coming up to cover his head.

He was just about to pee his pants in fright. He didn’t know what in the world was happening. He also hadn’t heard exactly what Soraya had said previously.

Unfortunately, Soraya’s bullet didn’t hit Giovanni. He had dodged in advance to avoid the bullet, and just as Soraya aimed her gun again and wanted to open fire, he reached out to snatch the gun from her instantly.

“Hahahahaha!”

“The Divine Constabulary. You actually chased me to the Golden Tower in a small town like Morro. You really have nothing else better to do than to start panicking, huh? What a pity, an insignificant Mystic rank warrior like you. What did you think you could find here? Since you dared to come out here, then you must have prepared to stay here!” Giovanni sneered. He turned the gun’s muzzle to aim it at Soraya before pulling the trigger without hesitation.

The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 1134

However, just a moment before it happened, a bullet came shooting from the left.

Before Giovanni could open fire to kill Soraya, the bullet hit the gun in his hand and exploded.

Boom!

The exploded parts of the gun shattered to the ground. Immediately after, five members from the Divine Constabulary all rushed in.

Soraya, who had just escaped death, said gloomily, “Everyone, be careful. This guy is an Earth rank warrior, and his martial arts skills are high. The information we got before this was seriously skewed.”

One of the Divine Constabulary members said, “F*ck, what the hell? How could they get this so wrong? It’ll end up killing people!”

Soraya decided determinedly. “Do it. Don’t hold back anything. Kill him without any mercy!”

Now that they knew Giovanni was an Earth rank warrior, if they still had the intentions to take him back alive, it wasn’t called having principles but plain stupidity!

Bang, bang, bang!

The gunfire started up again.

This time, the people from the Divine Constabulary were putting in their group effort to take action against Giovanni.

However, Giovanni rushed into his office and shut the doors immediately. At the same time, the people in the Golden Tower had suddenly started panicking.

Gunshots were being fired, and it sounded like a battle going on. How could they stand it?

The guests from the first to the third floor quickly dropped whatever they held in their hands and ran out in a panic.

Then, the panic spread to the ground floor.

“Gunshots!” someone yelled.

Then, the entire place descended into chaos.

There were at least hundreds of people who had squeezed through and crowded on the ground floor, and it was packed like sardines, and it was practically impenetrable. It was initially a rowdy atmosphere and fun, but it was obvious that your own life was more important in a life and death situation.

Then, a big group of people ran out like a tidal wave that had been released.

During this period, serious stampede accidents also occurred.

Cheryl grabbed Alex’s hand, a look of shock upon her face as she looked at him.

“Don’t worry. No one can hurt you while I’m here!” Alex said.

However, Thea yelled, “Hey, Rockefeller, is there something wrong with your head?! Why are you still acting like you’re so great at a time like this? Do you think you’re the superhero, Ironman? Hurry up and run!”

“Run? For what? My emeralds are still here!” Alex said.

“Is your life more important, or the emeralds? Hurry up! Cheryl, grab him and go!”

Why was Thea suddenly so passionate about him and insisted on making Alex escape?

That was because, after he left, all the emeralds here wouldn’t be returned to Alex, so it would all be a wasted effort! Of course, she would be happy about it! Unfortunately, Alex and Cheryl didn’t move.

Alex had absolute confidence in himself, and Cheryl naturally had confidence in him.

“A man will do anything in his means to become rich, is that it? You can fend for yourselves, then!”

After saying that, Thea ran away on her own.

As for Hubert, she didn’t even think about him as the catastrophe happening in front of her was imminent. At this moment, there was a guy who decided to take the risk and be greedy, wanting to take the emerald that was as big as a human head from Alex. He rushed forward, intending to grab it and make a run for it Unfortunately for him, Alex caught him.

“You want to steal it? Do you have the capabilities to do so?”

Alex directly kicked him, sending the guy flying through the air.

Simultaneously, Soraya was trying to figure out how to deal with Giovanni as she stood outside his office when a gigantic fishing net suddenly fell from above, trapping three Divine Constabulary team members, including Soraya, inside it.

Tire remaining few members were hacked to death by knives in the few disciples’ hands from the Golden Tower who had appeared behind them.

The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 1135

“Ahhh!”

“Carl, Lina, Devon!”

“Giovanni Winn, you are so daring to kill the people from my Divine Constabulary. Your fault has doubled. My Divine Constabulary will never let you go!”

Soraya watched as her people were hacked to death, and her eyes were wide open and fixed upon them, and she roared out loud. Her beautiful eyes were bloodshot. However, as a result, the fishing net was tightened around them with a rope.

The three inside were immediately wrapped up like a dumpling, unable to move their hands and feet freely, and had practically become lambs ready for slaughter.

At this moment, Giovanni walked out of his office, a cold, dark look upon his face.

He raised his leg and kicked Soraya. “What’s so great about the Divine Constabulary? I just need one hand to kill ten of trash like you. Coming to my Golden Tower looking for your deaths, you’re really so bold.”

After pondering for a moment, he decided that Alex, who could see emeralds inside the ores, was more important than this, so he couldn’t let him get away.

Therefore, be instructed, “Deal with them, then bury them in the back mountain! Oh, but wait. This woman doesn’t look too bad. Keep her locked up. I’ll subdue her properly later.”

The few disciples there laughed out loud.

As for Soraya, her face changed drastically, her heart beating wildly when she heard that.

What women feared the most was not death but the fact that they couldn’t die even if they wanted to and would be abused by men. It would be better to die than live in that situation.

She regretted it so much right now. She was the one who had strongly requested for this mission. She felt that she could bring Giovanni Winn to justice. Even at the beginning, one of the Divine Constabulary Guardians had wanted to come along, but she had refused his help.

As a result, not only did her mission fail, she had also gotten her subordinates killed.

Giovanni didn’t linger any longer, as he was afraid that Alex would get away. He spat another instruction, “Watch that kid in my office properly. He might still be useful.”

Then, he hurriedly headed toward the ground floor with the security guard that had previously come to report Alex to him.

***

At this moment, the number of people on the ground floor had gone down to ahnost nothing. The scene that had people packed like sardines no longer existed. Apart from the people who were from the Golden Tower and a few who had close relationships with the place and some more courageous people, everyone else had run away.

Of course, Alex and Cheryl were still there.

The security guard pointed at Alex and Cheryl and said to Giovanni, “Boss, that’s the guy. He bought a total of seventeen ores, and all of them had emeralds in them. The most valuable one is ore no. 3 on the stone cutting platform. Tire emerald is as big as a head, and the texture is great. Sister Apple said that it’s worth at least one billion.”

Giovanni breathed a sigh of relief.

The guy hadn’t left. It made things so much simpler. He glanced at the emeralds that had been cut out from the ores once again, and his smile widened upon his face.

As Giovanni walked to the ground floor, the people around opened their mouths to greet him.

“Hello, boss!”

“Hello, President Winn!”

All of them had respectful attitudes, as though they were welcoming a supreme king. As for the gunshots that had sounded out just now, no one asked about it. No one dared to.

“Hahaha, brother, your luck isn’t bad. To be able to pick out so many emeralds, congratulations!”

The bright, wide smile upon Giovanni’s face as he looked at Alex made it seem like he was looking at a peerless tool. When the security guard had come to report to him about this matter at first, he didn’t quite dare to believe it. That was because there was no such powerful person in the world. Even if he used the most advanced scanning equipment in the world, it was impossible to tell whether there were emeralds inside the ore or not.

But now, looking at all the emeralds that had been cut out, he believed it.

Alex glanced at Giovanni, and he was slightly surprised.

The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 1136

While Soraya couldn’t see the extent of Giovanni’s strength, Alex could identify it at a single glance. Advanced Earth rank!

As expected, a person who could do such a business in a place like this really couldn’t be any common person. However, though nothing was weighing up on his mind, he was a bit puzzled about the gunshots he heard from upstairs just now.

Could it be that the people from the Divine Constabulary had already made their move? But, it was over in such a short time, wasn’t that a little too fast?

Also, Giovanni had appeared here unscathed, and that was a little unreasonable. Even if Giovanni wasn’t the person they were going to deal with, he was still the owner of this place, and he should be dealing with what had happened upstairs.

‘Then, had something happened to those from the Divine Constabulary?’

In addition, Hubert had not made an appearance either. His voice was steady and cairn when he said, “My luck today is indeed good, but I have a small problem. When I wanted to leave with my emeralds just now, the attendant seemed unhappy and said that I had to wait for her boss to arrive before leaving. So, you’re the boss, right? Are you going to take a photo with me or something?”

Giovanni smiled and said, “A photo? That’s a good idea! I haven’t taken a photo with anyone for a long time! But, I’m curious, bro, how did you manage to pick ores that all had emeralds inside it?”

Alex replied, “Luck! Didn’t Boss Winn just say that my luck was good?”

Giovanni’s smile widened even more as he said, “Bro, the saying goes that ‘a straightforward person doesn’t resort to insinuations’. It isn’t as simple as ‘luck’ for you to get all seventeen emeralds front the ores. Bro, you have some sort of magical skills, right? My name is Giovanni Winn, and I’m the owner of the Golden Tower. I usually like making friends with people like you! How about coming to my office for a cup of tea and let’s talk, hm?”

Alex shook his head. “I’m not interested. I just want to leave with my emeralds.”

“Aren’t you going to give me some face?”

“I don’t even know you, so why should I?” Alex replied lightly.

The female attendant previously sneered and said, “It’s an honor for Boss Winn to invite you for tea, and you shouldn’t reject our boss’s sincerity. Not everyone can afford to let down our boss’s sincerity.”

“Is that so? Then, what does Boss Winn want to talk to me about?”

“A cooperation! I have some connections in Myanmar, and you can have your pick of ores there. Since you have such a skill, Bro, we should cooperate in an emerald business. I’ll give you 30% of the money earned. What do you say?”

Alex shook his head. “No.”

Giovanni’s face became cold instantly. “So, you insist on doing things the hard way? Do you know the consequences of not cooperating with me? You don’t want to have a rich and prosperous life but insist on walking a dead end?”

The female attendant, Apple, spoke again, “Don’t be stupid. You’re going up against Boss Winn. If you can’t please him, you’ll let the opportunity of a great future pass you by just like that! Also, your woman is so beautiful. You have to think about the consequences. She might even end up becoming some other men’s play thing. ”

Cheryl’s heart thumped, and a cold sweat broke out in her hand that was holding Alex’s.

It would be a lie if she said she wasn’t nervous at all.

Slap!

Alex delivered a slap right across Apple’s face.

The blow saw Apple turn and fall to the floor. When she landed, she spat a mouthful of teeth, all drenched in blood.

“So nosy!”

Apple covered her face, a look of res entment and shock upon her face. She didn’t understand. How dare Alex take the firststep and make a move like this at a time like this?

Was he not afraid of death?

Giovanni smiled.

It was a ruthless, vicious smile.

“It looks like you won’t turn around if you don’t hit a dead end! You seem to care about your female partner a lot. I’ll strip her and hang her up then. Let’s see if your mouth will still be reluctant to admit your mistake!”

Alex’s eyes flashed. “You’ll regret saying those words.”

Giovanni shook his head. “I never regret anything.” Having said that, he waved his hand.

The dozens of disciples that stood behind him stepped forward, surrounding Alex and Cheryl.

The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 1137

The female attendant, Apple, had a bitter and angry look in her eyes.

She couldn’t wait to see Alex get brought to his knees by the disciples of the Golden Tower, beaten up to the point that even his parents wouldn’t recognize him. She knew that since Alex had such a great skill in his stone gambling, they wouldn’t kill him. However, they would definitely teach him a lesson.

She yelled, “This bastard doesn’t show any proper respect to boss at all! Break his leg, Show him who’s better, so that he won’t ever…”

Before she could finish her words, Alex pulled Cheryl close to him with one hand and suddenly lifted one foot, slamming it down heavily on the ground. The overwhelming force exerted from it exploded like a small dynamite explosion in a fan shape, pushing back dozens of the disciples.

“Ugh…”

Boom!

Countless tiles on the floor burst, the fragment flew everywhere. Countless people who were on scene were unlucky enough to face that.

As for the disciples who had rushed toward Alex, they were the first to bear the brunt of this overwhelming force. More tragically, they were hit by the explosion like blow, and they spat out mouthfuls of blood while still flying through the air, then the gravel from the tiles that had cracked and burst hit their bodies like bullets shot from a gun.

There were some that broke their arms and legs. There were some where the broken stones slammed into their stomach. There were even some who were blinded from the rocks shooting out.

For a moment, the entire scene was horrifying, and only painful wailing and moaning could be heard.

Giovanni was stunned. His mind was in a jumbled state, his heart shaken, and he felt a chill on his back. His face had also been scrapped by the gravel that had flown out previously, leaving behind a one centimeter deep line of blood, and the fresh blood was still dripping out. However, the lingering fear he felt overwhelmed everything else.

This kind of destructive power was impossible to even a martial arts master. Terrance had taught him a lesson once, which made him deeply jealous, but it was not as terrifying as what Alex had just displayed.

He had even kicked through an iron plate.

‘Run!’

As for Apple, because of the slap that Alex had given her previously, she had landed beside him and had escaped the catastrophe that happened right in front of her. However, she couldn’t believe her eyes when she saw the scene unfolding before her.

Was he still human?

“I’ve already said that you’ll regret it!”

Alex fixed his gaze upon Giovanni and calmly said, “Men who have bad intentions toward my woman don’t end up in a good place. You are no exception!”

Goosebumps appeared on Giovanni’s back.

He didn’t say a word when he grabbed a gun decisively and opened fire directly at Alex. He no longer cared about any cooperation. He would only feel at ease once Alex was dead.

However, a moire pattern sparkled in Alex’s hands, and it looked like electricity shooting out of his hand as he grabbed all the bullets into his hands.

“What?!

“Even a gun can’t kill him. What kind of monster was this?!”

The subordinates of the Golden Tower couldn’t believe their eyes as they continued to weep in pain.

Giovanni’s heart beat wildly in his chest, and cold sweat ran down his forehead.

He knew that this couldn’t go on. If ire couldn’t escape, then there was only one road waiting for him, death!

He crushed the gun in his hand and brought out all the cultivation and martial arts skills of an advanced Earth rank warrior. He paused for a moment before he immediately turned around and fled.

Alex’s gaze was cold.

He raised his hand, and the bullets that he held in his hand turned into streams of light, shooting at Giovanni’s back.

Thunk, thunk, thunk, thunk, thunk!

Apart from one bullet, the rest of them hit the mark Giovanni fell to the ground with a ‘thud’, but unexpectedly, he bounced backup almost immediately, not looking back as he rushed out the door. There was no blood at where the bullets had hit him.

‘He’s not dead?’ Alex was slightly surprised.

It was just a moment of dazedness, and Giovanni had managed to reach the door. He wore a bulletproof vest because, as the owner of the Golden Tower, there were all sorts of risks at every moment when one ran this kind of business near the Golden Triangle, after all. Giovanni usually paid great attention to it, which was why he had a special bulletproof vest on him at all times.

It was this bulletproof vest that had saved his life. Seeing that he was almost at the door, he had confidence that he would be able to escape. So, he yelled, “Brat, just you wait, I’ll definitely come back for revenge. I will destroy your entire family!”

As long as he was hidden, Alex would be an easy target out in the open, and he wouldn’t be afraid that he wasn’t able to get his revenge.

The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 1138

However, in the next second, an invisible stream of light shot out of Alex.

It was the Dragon’s Bane of Thirty-Six. Sword of the Universe!

Whoosh!

Giovanni saw things differently in the next moment. The road ahead suddenly rolled around, and he also saw a body with no head that ran forward for a dozen meters before collapsing, the blood spurting everywhere.

The body was extremely familiar.

It was his own!

He was dead!

The Sword of the Universe had cut his head off.

“H-How is this possible?!”

Giovanni had already run out the ground floor doors, and he had even turned a corner. How could Alex have killed him?

However, he would never get an answer.

The Dragon’s Bane of Thirty-Six was a spiritual treasure, and since Alex controlled it with his spiritual consciousness, it could obviously also make turns!

Alex summoned the Sword of the Universe back, and there was not a single trace of blood on it.

He held Cheryl in one arm and the other the dragon bone sword. At that moment, he looked like a murderous god who had come up from hell to everyone else!

“What were those gunshots just now?” Alex asked the same security guard.

The security guard felt his heart jump into his throat, and he trembled all over. His mind was blank.

It was just a single moment of silence, and the sword in Alex’s hand swung down.

Another head went flying through the air.

Just now, when Giovanni was beheaded, only those who were standing near the ground floor entrance could see it. But for this security guard, he was beheaded in front of everyone.

The bloodied scene made quite a few people faint in fright.

Especially the female attendant, Apple, as the bloodied head rolled onto her lap. She screamed in shock, peeing and pooping right in her pants.

As for Alex, he had already covered Cheryl’s eyes to avoid her seeing it.

“You!”

Alex pointed at another disciple of the Golden Tower. Tire disciple had been blinded in one eye by the gravel that had shot out previously. He trembled all over, not daring to hesitate even a moment as he opened his mouth to reply, “It.. It’s… It was people from the Divine Constabulary! They came to arrest the boss…”

Alex frowned.

As expected, it was the people from the Divine Constabulary.

“Where are they now?”

“T-T-They’re dead!”

“What?! All of them?” Alex was furious when he heard that and swung his sword down on the disciple.

Although he suspected that the higher-ups in the Divine Constabulary were making rise of the people under them for their private motives, he still cared about Sky, Zachary, Anna, and the others. These people were all upright in their own way and were carrying a heavy burden and serving the people in America’s seemingly peaceful era.

They were worthy of respect.

What more, he felt an inexplicable familiar feeling from the savage woman that he met before this. Though he couldn’t pinpoint exactly what it was, there must be some connection between them.

At this time, a disciple that had been frightened out of his wits hurriedly said, “T-There’s one more who’s still alive.”

Alex immediately said, “Take me to that person!”

Before leaving, he said, “Take good care of my emerald. Otherwise, all of you will die too!”

Alex took Cheryl and left the ground floor quickly, following the disciple to find Soraya, who was still alive. Just as they reached the second-floor entrance, a large fishing net dropped from above them.

“Ah, Alex! Watch out!” Cheryl yelled loudly.

“Galactic Strike!”

The Sword of the Universe swung around, cutting the fishing net into pieces. Even the disciple who threw the net was cut down with it, and even the disciple, who was leading them, was dead!

Alex frowned and patted his waist.

A rush of Yin energy burst into the air as he summoned the ghost general, Maiko Chiba, to look for the person from the Divine Constabulary who was still alive.

The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 1139

Soraya felt like dying at this moment. She wasn’t afraid of death. She hoped that she could die right now.

She had watched her companions die with her own eyes just now, stabbed by knives without being able to fight back. She had also hoped that the knives would pierce her body when it had happened.

Soraya wouldn’t need to endure the humiliation she would face later when Giovanni forced himself on her later either, and she wouldn’t need to endure the torment of the regret she felt inside.

At this moment, she had been trussed up and left in the corner of the room. She burst into tears.

She wasn’t crying for herself but for how stupid she was in leading the team and getting all her companions killed. She would never forgive herself.

Click!

Tire door opened at this moment.

A man walked in.

Soraya’s expression tightened, a fierce look upon her face. She thought that Giovanni came in, but she didn’t expect to find that it was the very despicable man she had met before this.

“It’s you?

“Why are you here?!”

Soraya looked at the man in front of her in shock. The man was Hubert Gordon.

Obviously, Alex had been the one to rescue him from Giovanni’s office… Oh, alright, it wasn’t Alex but Maiko that had done it. After he had been rescued, Alex wanted him to take credit for rescuing Soraya.

Alex had found another room in the Golden Tower and found something else in it.

***

Hubert felt it was strange, too, but he just said, “Something big has happened outside. I heard that you’re an officer. Now that Giovanni is dead, you better hurry up and leave!”

Hubert untied the ropes binding Soraya, freeing her.

“What?!” Soraya was stunned. “How did he die?”

“I don’t know. Don’t ask me.”

“…”

Soraya watched Hubert carefully, making sure that he wasn’t joking. He didn’t look like he was a hidden master or anything, and she felt even more confused.

The Divine Constabulary had dispatched a fully armed team, and not only had they failed to capture him, but they had also even been annihilated. It had just been a short period, and now Giovanni was dead?!

After she was free, she rushed out immediately. However, before she reached the entrance of the room, she turned around to say, “Thank you!”

Then, she rushed out of the room and was shocked again.

There were severed limbs and blood flowing freely everywhere. It was like a bloodied battlefield, like hell on earth, and she could count at least fifteen corpses from the single glance at the scene in front of her.

“Who? “Who in the world did this?!”

After Hubert had released Soraya, he didn’t see Alex or Cheryl. However, he received a call from Thea and immediately left the place, trembling with fear and trepidation. When he walked out of the Golden Tower, he realized that his shoes’ soles were covered in blood.

“Hubert!”

Thea was waiting under a shade outside of the Golden Tower, and she ran over when she caught sight of him.

“Have you seen Alex and Cheryl?” Hubert asked.

Thea sneered. “Those people felt like money was more important than their lives. I’m sure they’re stuck inside right now, unable to leave. Did he think that Boss Winn wouldn’t rampage? With so many emeralds, did he think that they’d let him leave just like that?”

“What emeralds? Boss Winn is dead, and there are a lot of dead people inside. There’s at least a dozen of them… Oh, Alex was just there just now. How did he suddenly just disappear?”

Thea’s face paled in fright.

She quickly tugged at Hubert, dragging him away from this god-forsaken place.

At the same time, Alex had found a secret room in Giovanni’s office.

Maiko had stumbled upon it by accident.

Inside the secret room were a lot of priceless emeralds, but that wasn’t the reason for Alex’s excitement. He had caught sight of another Black Spirit Crystal, and the size was way bigger than the one he had in his pocket.

The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 1140

His luck was bursting today. It wouldn’t stop flowing even if he wanted it to!

Besides, Alex had thought of another possibility.

‘Could it be that Giovanni had found a Black Spirit Crystal vein?

‘That would be too exaggerated, right?’

However, when he thought of such a possibility, Alex was overwhelmed with excitement. He immediately wanted to find someone to ask where the source of their ores was. If there really was a Black Spirit Crystal vein, he could bring his people to a newer height.

He caught sight of a traveling bag at the side.

Alex reached out to grab it, placed the two pieces of Black Spirit Crystal inside it, and then took some of the more excellent quality emeralds. He felt that the other items in the room were cumbersome, so he simply left them.

There was quite a bit of gold and banknotes that had been stored here. However, it was all no different than rubbish in his eyes.

Cheryl asked from beside him, “Alex, you seem to be particularly interested in the black crystal. What is it? Is it obsidian? But, I remember that obsidians aren’t really valuable.”

Alex smiled. “Of course, this is not obsidian. It’s ten thousand times more precious than obsidian. I’ll tell you about it once we get back.”

Cheryl was worried as she glanced at the door. “Will they come rushing in?”

“Don’t worry. No one can come in. Someone is helping me guard the door!”

Obviously, it was Maiko Chiba.

It was a pity that she couldn’t be seen by the naked eye, and so Cheryl couldn’t see her.

“There’s a safe here!” Cheryl said, looking at a corner. “But, Giovanni is dead. No one would be able to open it now.”

Just as she said that, Alex pulled out the Sword of the Universe and brought it down upon the safe.

Clang!

A metallic sound rang, and the side of the safe was sliced off.

Cheryl wasn’t even able to make any sound anymore, so she rolled her eyes at him. “You frightened me!”

“I’m sorry. I’ll make it up to you.”

“How will you make it up to me?”

“Is a gold bar enough?” Alex grabbed a large piece of gold bar, estimated that it weighed at least three catties, and placed it in Cheryl’s hand.

“There’s no sincerity in this, and it’s not like it can be eaten!”

Alex suddenly grabbed behind her neck, pulling her in for a kiss as be explored the inside of her month.

After he was done, he pulled away and asked, “Was that delicious?”

Cheryl’s face flushed to the tip of her ears, ”Hoodlum!”

Alex was in a good mood now, and he lifted her chin and asked, “Then, did you like it?”

Cheryl’s eyes looked away, extremely embarrassed and shy. “I’m not telling you.”

Alex laughed, then squeezed her uniquely attractive behind before squatting down to check the contents of the safe only to find it contained a few documents.

“What’s this? The ingredients for a poison?”

Alex was an Immortal Doctor of the current generation, and Cheryl was a brilliant doctor. When the two read through the document, they were alarmed.

“I’ve heard of this poison before, ” Cheryl said. “There was a patient who had a severe overdose on this before, which caused hallucinations and serious immunity disorders. It is a new type of contraband… I didn’t expect that it was extracted in this manner.”

Written on the document were the detailed extraction steps. In addition to that, there was another document with a type of medicine written on it instead.

The composition of it was similar to the poison. Still, it was a unique formula that was useful for cosmeceutical products, which could cause the user to be dependent on the medicine. People who used this product would have serious skin problems once they stop using it.

Both documents had the same name signed on it, Lilian Solomon.

Other than that, there was a piece of parchment inside the safe.

“What is this?”

Cheryl picked it up, and at a glance, it looked to be a map.
