Ch. 1291..1300

The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 1291

As Alex stared at her, he thought, ‘This is just extremely unsightly.’

He shook his head. “I didn’t do anything. What have you done to yourself?!”

He regretted not taking his phone out to record what she was doing at the time. With that as evidence, she wouldn’t be able to put the blame on him… However, if he really did record that, she would most likely explode on him as well.

“I… ” Still looking at herself, Soraya immediately buttoned up her shirt.

However, just as she stood up, her body wavered, almost toppling over.

‘It hurts down there!’

“You bastard! You absolute jerk! You should rot in hell!” Soraya clenched her teeth and glared at Alex, exploding with anger. Tears streamed down her cheeks, thinking that Alex had really raped her.

More importantly, she was still a virgin. ‘How could I have lost my virginity to this bastard? I wish I could skin him alive!’

Just then, she realized that she was facing another problem.

‘From what I remember, I think I’m ovulating now. If he… Then what would I do if I’ve gotten pregnant?’

‘I really don’t want to get an abortion.’

‘I heard abortions hurt a lot.’

Back then, she had accompanied her best friend to get an abortion once. Yet, such a strong woman was in so much pain that she couldn’t walk properly. She had almost died from blood loss as well.

Hence, she immediately asked Alex, “Were you wearing protection?”

Alex was puzzled. “What protection?”

“Like the rubber ones?”

“What rubber ones?”

“Condoms! Like, to prevent pregnancy.”

Alex shook his head. “I don’t ever wear those.”

Upon hearing this, Soraya broke down, yelling at him again. “You… You’re a monster! Not only did you rape me, but you weren’t even wearing a condom! What will I do if you get me pregnant? I don’t want to give birth! You… You… You… You’ve ruined my life!”

Alex was speechless.

“Is there a misunderstanding here? I didn’t rape you. I’m not even remotely interested in you.”

Soraya scolded, “You’re just a shameless coward! Why don’t you just admit it when you had the balls to do it in the first place? Do you think I’m dumb? I could feel it, and it was definitely you! You were the one who raped me! You even said something like, as long as I sleep with you, you’ll let me out! I refused to, so you raped me! I saw it with my own eyes. You did it! I’ll recognize your sickly face even if you were to turn into ashes.”

Alex’s eyes widened, mouth agape.

‘What did she even see when she was hallucinating?’ he thought.

‘Why did she think that I raped her?’

“I told you! It wasn’t me! You did this to yourself!”

“Just, calm down. I don’t have the energy to continue such a nonsensical conversation with you. Your mother and grandmother are here. You may leave now!”

Suddenly, Alex noticed her clothes and narrowed his eyes.

Her clothes were so torn tip that she really looked like she had been raped. If she were to show up in front of everybody like this, it would be far too embarrassing.

Alex thought. ‘We’re still relatives, after all. Lexia Rogers and her side of the family had never done anything bad to my grandmother. So I guess I’ll help her this one time.’

He took off his shirt and threw it towards Soraya.

“Wear this!”

“Who would even want to wear your clothes, you bastard?” Soraya spat as she clenched onto the remnants of her shirt tightly.

Alex shrugged. “Whatever! I’m bringing you out now, but I have to mention that many men are out there. I won’t be the one they’d be gawking at, you will.”

Upon hearing this, Soraya shot Alex a dirty glare. However, all she could do was put that shirt on.

In just a few moments, Alex pushed the boat out of the Gates to Hell with his spiritual power. With just three spins, they appeared back in front of everyone.

“Soraya!”

The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 1292

Stephanie shouted and leaped out of her boat, doing a flip mid-air and landing on the other small wooden boat steadily.

She immediately wrapped both her arms around her daughter.

“Mom!” Stephanie was overwhelmed when she saw her mother. She had been trapped in here for five days, experiencing just how horrible humanity could be.

In that instant, she just couldn’t control herself, crying hysterically in her mother’s arms. She then pointed toward Alex. “Mom, kill this bastard for me now!”

Stephanie shook her head. “Soraya, mom can’t kill him. And well, I shouldn’t kill him too. He’s your cousin.”

“What?” Soraya froze as if she had been struck by lightning.

‘Alex is my cousin?’

‘But I was raped by him just a while ago!’

‘This… This…’

‘What do I do? Isn’t this incest?’

‘If I’m really impregnated with his child, would the baby be deformed because we’re relatives?’

If Alex found out all the messed up things going on inside her head, he would’ve probably been so frustrated he’d vomit blood.

Just then, Lexia spoke up. “Stephanie, Soraya, come back up to our boat!”

With that, everyone got into the other boat. Soraya’s face was pale. She asked Lexia, “Grandma, he is he really my cousin? As in, your grandchild?”

Lexia smiled and turned to look at Alex. “I guess so!”

Lexia was still very kind toward Alex, happy for his achievements as well.

However, Soraya’s eyes rolled back, fainting as soon as she heard that. All the women in the Melvis family panicked, immediately trying to revive her.

Alex took a pill out and handed it to Stephanie. “Don’t worry, she’s just been starving for days. Plus… Her body’s a little weak, so that’s why she’s fainted. This is a pill to rejuvenate her energy. After taking it, she would be able to recover quickly.”

Stephanie took a glance at it, not daring to use it on her daughter.

In the end, Lexia had to be the one to speak up, reassuring her of its effects and that it wouldn’t cause anything wrong.

Only then did Stephanie take the pill carefully, letting Soraya consume it.

“Alright, Lochlan. You guys can get into our boat too. All this was just a misunderstanding. You’ve been trapped in here for five days, and it must be harsh for you all. Our family will provide you a reasonable compensation!” Lexia told the others who were still on the small boat.

After pausing for a while, she turned to Shaun. “Guardian Baker, Elder Alex is part of our family, the grandchild of the third wife. Ruby was the one who planned everything back then. So now that she’s punished, you wouldn’t blame us anymore, right?”

Shaun took a glance at Soraya, who was unconscious. “Of course not…”

At the same time, Lochlan and the others took a few glances at Soraya.

Lexia nodded. “Come up here then.”

“Yes, Madame!” The few of them got on the boat as well.

Alex was just about to hop into the lake to find the mystic tool that formed the underwater talisman.

Just then, Soraya woke up from taking the pill and turned to Alex. “If you’re a man, then kill off all of them for me!”

She was pointing toward Shaun, Lochlan, and the others.

Alex froze.

Stephanie asked, “Soraya, why?”

“They tried to sexually assault me back then!” replied Soraya. “They blamed me for causing us to be trapped in the lake. If it weren’t for my luck, I would’ve been raped or eaten alive! Thank god I managed to barge into the depths of that talisman by running around mindlessly!”

“What?” Everyone froze, obviously shocked.

Just then, Lochlan, Shaun and the others became excited. Murderous intent filled their expressions as they lunged toward Alex and the Melvis family.

The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 1293

While Soraya was unconscious, these people still acted dumb and got on the boat to leave. Now that Soraya had spoken up, there was no chance that the situation would change.

Besides, they chose to act out, proving Soraya’s accusations. These people, trapped for a few days, were starving and on the verge of a mental breakdown. They decided to attack Soraya out of anger and even wanted to devour her soft flesh out of hunger. On the brink of death, humanity’s cruelty was on display.

Now, they had made the first move. The intention to kill was obvious, the level of violence in the air overwhelming.

A grandmaster was a grandmaster for a reason.

Even after five days of going hungry, they were grandmasters regardless, not to mention that there were two grandmasters and four half-stepped grandmasters.

“Careful!”

“You bastard! Lochlan, you dare revolt against us?”

“Be careful, master!”

The crowd immediately went chaotic.

Shaun and Lochlan’s first target was Alex. They hated Alex a lot and used full force upon attacking.

On this boat, only Alex could become a threat to them even when they attacked together. The others were all just amateurs that offered no threat.

Facing the combined attack of two grandmasters, Alex stood still, emotionless.

Anna was extremely anxious, and Soraya, who should’ve hated Alex to her guts, and wished he died on the spot, feared for him as her first reaction when she saw him in danger.

She herself was surprised.

‘I’ve been tortured by him until I have feelings for him? Have I gone mad?’

Yet, in reality, in that weird illusion… She enjoyed it very much too.

Two approaching grandmasters indicated that Alex was about to be killed.

At that critical moment, Alex held up his hand lightly and spoke in a cool voice, “I have a sword, and it can slash to anything in this universe!”

Swish, Slash!

Dragon‘s Bane of Thirty-Six, Sword of the Universe has appeared!

The sword slashed diagonally, two heads flew up into the air.

The two did not die immediately after being beheaded. They saw with their own eyes, their bodies spurring blood and falling to the ground. And finally, with utmost unwillingness, they succumbed to death.

“Huh..?”

“He killed two grandmasters just like that?”

Everyone was shocked and in disbelief.

Lexia stomped her foot and shouted. “Kill them!”

Lexia only brought seven women with her on this trip to California. No men came along, but that didn’t mean there weren’t any experts. With them was a female grandmaster, the only female grandmaster of the Melvis family. Besides, Stephanie was also an expert, a half-stepped grandmaster.

On the other hand, the four half-stepped grandmasters that attacked had been starved for five days. They had lost at least half their combat power.

Soon after, these four half-stepped grandmasters were defeated.

The fight was over in a second.

Old lady Lexia sighed softly. ‘After this battle, the Melvis family’s power has gone down by half, not to mention that incident from Ruby’s side. The Melvis’ really had their losses. When it’s time to rank the families in Alaska, their ranking will surely go down.’

‘But, if Alex could come back to the Melvis family, instead of going down, their power would be raised by several levels.’

‘A martial arts expert could probably do anything he wanted, even in Alaska.’

‘How many experts are there in America?’

With these thoughts, Lexia immediately told Alex, “Alex, it’s all thanks to you this time that you’ve allowed us to see who Lochlan really was. It’s the Melvis family’s luck that he’s dead.”

Soraya pouted.

The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 1294

She thought to herself, ‘This guy started it, this bastard right here. If he didn’t set the trap here, they wouldn’t have been trapped, and she wouldn’t have lost her innocence.’

Thinking about what happened, she felt that part of her body throbbing with pain again.

Alex replied nonchalantly, “Now that everything’s ended, I’ll leave first”

“Hold on,” Lexia called after him.

“Is there anything else?” Alex asked.

“Since I’m here in California, I should go see your mother. Thinking back on those years, the last time I saw her was when she was ten.”

Alex narrowed his eyes. “I’m not sure if my mother wants to meet you.”

Lexia smiled. “Ask her. I’m certain she’ll agree.”

Alex took a glance at her. “I’ll let you know if I have news.”

With that, he jumped off the boat into the lake.

As for Sky and Anna, they leaped onto a smaller boat and said farewell.

***

Stephanie was very attentive. She could tell the clothes her daughter was wearing were Alex’s and that her own garment beneath it was torn.

She quickly asked, “Soraya, are you okay? Have you been…”

Soraya really wanted to tell the truth and say that Alex had raped her since she was, without a doubt, really sure of this. Yet, she didn’t dare to say this out loud after finding out that Alex was her cousin.

“No. Good thing I ran fast enough,” she said with her head bowed.

“That’s good to hear, that’s good to hear!” Stephanie said, “I know that you’ve been interested in Shaun even though I’ve advised you against it a couple of times. Now, you should have given up, right! I noticed for a long time that Shaun’s not a good guy. Everything that he does is with the intention of becoming the Divine Constabulary’s president! Alright, you’re not young anymore. When we go back, let grandma choose a good family for you, and you can get married.”

“Huh..” Soraya’s expression changed immediately. She had been thinking. ‘What if she got pregnant?’

***

Alex retrieved the mystical tool from the lake and quickly arrived home. He told his mother, Brittany, about Lexia’s invitation.

Brittany was silent for a few minutes.

She finally nodded and said, “Now that you’ve mentioned it, Lexia had a good relationship with your grandma. She was good to me when l was a child too. Your grandma was strict with me, but she was always on my side… Now that the old lady has aged, I should go meet her.”

She paused. “How about tonight? You go arrange it.”

“Alright!” replied Alex.

Soon, the time of the meeting was set. It was to be at the Shangri-La hotel at six tonight.

At first, Alex wanted to go with his mother.

Just as he was all dressed up, about to head to Shangri-La with Brittany, however, he received a phone call from Hailey. She cried, “Brother, something bad was happened. Zoey’s missing! Can you help me?”

“Huh? Zoey’s missing? How did she go missing? Where are you now?”

“I was in Disneyland. I just looked away to answer a phone call. It wasn’t even a minute, and Zoey’s gone. I searched the whole park, but I can’t find her. I… I’m so scared! Could she have been kidnapped? I’m so so scared, brother. Come quickly…”

Alex was shocked.

Just this afternoon, he slashed three kidnappers right on the street, Winniefred was almost taken away, and now in just half a day, Zoey encountered kidnappers too.

‘Are kidnappings that rampant now? ‘Or are these attacks directed at me?’

“Hailey, I’ll come right this instant!”

Alex was about to rush out the door when he was met with Zella, almost crashing into each other.

Zella was still awkward about how they hugged the other day. She blushed and asked, “What’s the hurry? Where are you headed to?”

Alex explained. “My friend lost her daughter. She might’ve been kidnapped. I have to go over right now.”

Zella had heard about Winniefred almost getting abducted this afternoon. Still lingering in fear, she felt extreme hate for these kinds of cases.

“I’ll go with you,” she volunteered. “I have some special skills in looking for people.”

The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 1295

Alex looked at Zella in surprise. Seeing the determination in her eyes, he nodded immediately.

At the same time, Brittany had finished dressing up, ready to head out.

Meeting Lexia again after all these years, she just couldn’t keep calm. As she came out and saw her son in such an anxious state, she immediately asked, “Alex, where are you going?”

“Mom, I have an emergency. Ask Maya to go with you.”

As he spoke, Alex found Zella couldn’t keep up with him. Hence, he grabbed her by the waist and walked with thundering strides, their bodies turning into a streak of light, gushing out the door.

“Oh clear, this kid, so unsteady, where’s he headed off to again?” Brittany said helplessly. Regarding Alex’s safety, however, she had nothing to worry about. As Alex’s level got higher, near to no one in California could hurt him.

After her son possessed such powers, she had hoped that he could have a steady heart and cause lesser killings.

***

Pshhhh…

As Zella was hugged by Alex, her face flushed red instantly.

Feeling the strong arms around her, she felt herself go soft. Winniefred’s dad died when she was pregnant with her, meaning it had been almost seven years since she was this intimate with a man. Now, this sense of being attracted was silently activated.

Quickly, she was stunned by the speed Alex was going. She knew that she has a rare blood lineage, where her body was beyond powerful, and her speed more than three times normal. But now, looking at Alex concentrating thunder into both his legs, his speed was beyond words, she could only say he was as fast as lightning.

Within five minutes, Alex and Zella were there with Hailey.

Hailey, who couldn’t find her daughter, Zoey, was as anxious as an ant on fire. Beside her were a few workers of the park. It was probably due to Hailey’s aggressive tone before this that they didn’t seem friendly toward her, especially an authoritative looldiig man with a big belly, who seemed impatient.

“Brother, what should I do? I can’t find Zoey anywhere. If I lose her, I don’t want to live anymore!” Hailey collapsed into Alex’s embrace, crying her heart out. Alex hugged Hailey, his vision combing the workers of the park. “Have you locked down the park? Block all entrances of this park immediately. And the surveillance cameras, have you checked them?”

To his surprise, the chubby director immediately put on a face and said, “Are you joking? Such a big park like ours… How could I lock it down that easily? What about the other visitors? How can our park do business like this? We earn hundreds of millions per hour. Are you going to be responsible for that?”

Alex nodded and said, “I’ll take responsibility.”

The chubby man looked at Alex’s attire. He noticed that his clothing added up to only about a thousand dollars, and yet he was still talking big.

The man laughed coldly. “Are you f*cking kidding me? Will you take responsibility? Are you capable of that? Take a leak and look at yourself. How dare you? I’ll just put it out here right now: you lost your kid because you didn’t look after her. That’s on you. You can call the police for help, but causing trouble here and trying to put the fault on me? Dream on!”

Alex looked at him coldly before taking out his phone and dialing in a number. The call was to Azure.

“Alex, what orders do you have for me?” Azure picked up the phone and asked respectfully.

“Azure, I’m at Disneyland right now. I lost my niece here. Bring all your men immediately and block all the park’s entrances. Be quick!”

“Alright, I’ll take action right now!”

Hanging up the phone, Azure immediately sent out the emergency state order, deploying all of Thousand Miles Conglomerate’s fighters and security guards to Disneyland. They were to use the fastest route there.

In an instant, the entire Thousand Miles Conglomerate was on the move.

“What? An emergency state order?”

The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 1296

“This is a huge deal for the Thousand Miles Conglomerate, the first time they’ve ever initiated the emergency state rule since it was created. It hasn’t ever been used before, so I don’t know what happened.”

The emergency state rule applied to all current members of the Thousand Miles Conglomerate. Whether it was a fighter, security guard, the average employee, or even a cleaner, they would receive the message. Just when everyone was busy discussing the situation, a search warrant was sent to each employee’s phone.

The order had come from the Thousand Miles Conglomerate’s CEO’s office.

This meant that the person who sent out the order had to be the Thousand Miles Conglomerate’s CEO, Waltz Fleur.

Not only was Zoey’s photo on the warrant, but there was also a prize. It mentioned that if one managed to find her, they‘d immediately get a billion dollars in cash. One could search in a team or by themselves. Regardless of identity or status, no questions would be asked as long as the child was returned safely.

That meant that even if they were the ones who kidnapped Zoey, as long as they brought the child back, they’d get a billion.

With this order, chaos erupted within the people of the Thousand Miles Conglomerate. Thousand Miles Conglomerate was the biggest conglomerate in all of California. Even if its current official members hadn’t reached a hundred thousand, there had to be at least 80 thousand of them.

Coincidently, it was time to leave work as well. With that, countless people rushed toward Disneyland.

At the time, the chubby director immediately let out a burst of cold laughter after hearing that Alex had called for a lockdown on the park’s entrances. “Kid, if you dare send people to wreak havoc in my park, then don’t blame me for the consequences! I still have a certain power in California. Don’t regret your actions later on.”

Zella couldn’t take it anymore. She spoke up, “I don’t understand. Whose side are you on? Now that a visitor’s kid is lost in your park, shouldn’t you be cooperating with the search enthusiastically? And here you are, creating more trouble. This makes me suspect that you’re one with the kidnappers!”

The director was furious after hearing this. He pointed at Zella and barked, “Don’t think I won’t hit you just because you’re pretty. If you dare insult me, I’ll still slap you mercilessly!”

Just as soon as he finished talking, Alex’s hard slap landed heavily onto his big fat face.

The slap was so hard it made the director spin around in dizziness, spitting a mouthful of blood and falling to the ground.

As soon he recovered and got up, he felt even more furious. “F*ck, you dare hit me, punk? Do you have a death wish?”

Alex said, “You. Go and get me the surveillance tapes right this instant, or you’ll really die.”

“Who do you think you are? How dare you hit me and still demand that I check the surveillance footage? Dream on!” The director scrunched up his face and shouted to the staff. “Go, get all the security guards here. I’m going to throw this whole family out dead!”

Just then, an employee rushed in. “Boss, something happened. There are so many people outside. They blocked up all the park’s entrances. Visitors can’t leave, and they aren’t happy about it.”

The director froze. He glared at Alex and said, “So you really called some people over, huh, punk. Fine, I’d like to see how many people you brought! Let’s see who has more men!”

However, he didn’t notice that more people were gathering outside of the park. It was a few dozen at first. Then hundreds, thousands, and finally, millions showed up.

Just counting the employees of Thousand Miles Conglomerate, there are more than eighty thousand, not to mention that they have called their family and friends to join the search.

‘The prize is ten billion dollars!’

‘Who wouldn’t want it?’

The crowd got larger by the minute.

Soon, a security guard ran in, baffled. “Boss! Boss! There are too many people! Our whole park has been surrounded!”

The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 1297

“What? The whole park’s been surrounded? Are you dreaming?”

The director was initially surprised, but it quickly turned to disbelief. He even slapped the guard on the back of his head and bellowed, “Do you have any idea how big our park is? We have four gates situated on thenorth, south, east, and west! So tell me, how can they surround all that? Can he even get hundreds to come with just one call?”

Even though the guard was hit, he still looked extremely worried. He said to his chubby boss, “Boss, it’s not just hundreds…”

“F*ck, of course, I know it can’t be hundreds. You think he’s a gang leader?” the director yelled angrily.

“Not hundreds, they… There are millions, boss!” the guard exclaimed with a devastated face.

“What? Millions?” The boss kicked the guard. “Are you f*cking high? Do you think they’re ants? Millions?! I f*cking swear…”

The director was furious. Just as he was about to continue scolding the guard, he raised his head and saw a swarm of people rushing in.

The person leading the group was Azure. He had brought along a thousand fighters and guards from Thousand Miles Conglomerate, charging into the park.

Moreover, these were only a small part of this time’s emergency state order.

There were at least a hundred people on guard at every entrance, to the point it wasn’t possible for a fly to get out. Besides, there were other people searching each corner of the park. There was even a mob outside.

“Master Rockefeller!” Azure rushed in and called him respectfully.

Even though he called Alex by his name privately, he called him “master” in public with the utmost respect.

The thousands of fighters and guards behind him followed, shouting, “Master Alex!”

Their voices were as loud as thunder.

In the park. Having their exits blocked, the visitors complained at first. Most of them had initially planned on dining or tending to other businesses after visiting the park, yet they were locked in now. It was only natural for them to have such complaints.

Some more impatient ones were already furious. They released their anger since they were fairly rich and powerful.

However, they noticed that the people blocking the gates had suddenly increased to the hundreds, where all of them gave out a deadly aura.

Not to mention Azure, who lead thousands of men in black, rushing into the park like an army.

Such a massive army would be enough to leave powerful authorities shocked, let alone women and children. Hence, all of the visitors could only wait silently for news to come.

Soon, they heard the news that a child was lost in this very park. Everyone was astonished.

They started guessing which powerful family managed to put them in lockdown within the park because their child went missing.

“It’s Thousand Miles Conglomerate!”

“Thousand Miles Conglomerate sent out the emergency state order with a prize of a billion dollars to find a kid called Zoey Carter. No matter who finds the kid, even if you’re not part of the company, you’ll get a billion in cash!”

There was an uproar as everyone heard the news, and it was confirmed to be true.

Members of Thousand Miles Conglomerate started to hand out the search warrant. It was clearly stated that whoever found the child would be getting a billion. Zoey’s picture was attached to it too.

Some who had played with Zoey in the park shouted, “Oh god, so it was this little girl! She was on the seesaw with my son earlier!”

“I can’t believe she’s the child of a Thousand Miles Conglomerate executive!”

Someone else said, “A child of an executive wouldn’t have gotten so much help. This is probably related to Thousand Miles Conglomerate’s CEO.”

“Thousand Miles Conglomerate’s CEO is Waltz Fleur. Could she be her daughter?”

As everyone made their assumptions, they too joined the search party.

‘If I get lucky and find the child, I’d be getting a billion dollars, all for free!’

The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 1298

‘In such a public setting, there’s no way Thousand Miles Conglomerate would go back on their words.’

This news had also quickly spread around the internet. Everyone’s Instagram feeds, verified accounts, and countless media became like sharks that smelled blood, taking action on their own to spread the news.

It was interesting and had a huge impact. More importantly, this would make them money, with many taking action in their own way. Hence, there were enough shock factors to make the headlines on the news.

‘When would there ever be such interesting news on the daily?’

Soon, this news was linked with the incident of three kidnappers being butchered in broad daylight. The word “kidnappers” started trending on social media as well.

At the same time, Disneyland’s director, in the face of Azure and his fierce troops, was completely stunned. He looked at the black mob with fear, panicking and thinking to himself. ‘I’m screwed. I’ve definitely provoked the wrong people!’

Azure went straight up, slapping the chubby director hard on the face three times, then spat out the words, “Surveillance footage!”

The employees on the side all remained silent, not even daring to breathe out loud. They now knew that Alex was the king of California’s underground gangs.

Thousands, hundreds of thousands of people, all coming forward to search for one missing girl was just way too much pressure.

A few of the director’s teeth were knocked out. He sobbed, “That place… The surveillance cameras in that place are broken. There’s no record!”

***

Zoey was currently tied up at the underground tunnel of an abandoned haunted house in this very park. Her eyes were closed, and she was clearly unconscious. Beside her, there were two other young girls, both aged five to six, unconscious as well.

Not far from them, three men and one woman were on guard. Their expressions were full of panic and disbelief.

The woman in her fifties was holding a search warrant from Thousand Miles Conglomerate in her hands. She mumbled to herself, “A billion! This small girl is worth a billion! How much can we even sell her for? Only 100 thousand bucks! The difference is enormous!”

One man looked towards Zoey. “I don’t think she recognized us when we kidnapped her.”

“Do you mean that we pretend to have found her and go claim the prize?”

“Or we can find another accomplice to go.”

“Don’t be stupid! This girl is from Thousand Miles Conglomerate. Once they get her back, won’t they investigate? Then what? We take and spend that money in hell?”

“F*ck, but that’s ten billion, aren’t you guys wavering? We won’t earn that amount even in ten lifetimes!”

“Think, just think of something else! F*ck, why not we bring her with us and demand ten billion, or even 100 billion? Thousand Miles Conglomerate has the money anyways.”

“I’m just afraid that Norton has betrayed us…”

Despite the countless people searching and turning the park upside down, there were still no signs of Zoey.

Zella asked Hailey, “Do you have the girl’s clothes or something she always holds onto, like a toy or whatever?”

Hailey grabbed a backpack and asked, confused, “This. Is this okay?”

Zella took it and held it under her nose, sniffing it gently. She then opened it and took out a water bottle, drawing markers, cookies, and a small jacket and smelling them one by one.

After that, she put them down and closed her eyes, taking a deep, long breath.

Hailey yanked at Alex, asking quietly, “Bro, what is she doing?”

Before Alex could answer, Zella opened her eyes and said, “Follow me!”

With this, she sped towards the lane on the right.

The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 1299

Alex, seeing this, knew that Zella must have found out something. He grabbed Hailey and quickly followed Zella.

Stomp, stomp, stomp…

Azure and his troops quickly followed suit.

However, they left about a hundred men behind to Director Norton and his employees.

Zella walked and stopped every once in a while to take a breath. She even knelt on the ground to take a whiff.

Hailey became increasingly surprised by this. This incredibly beautiful woman acting like a dog just didn’t seem civilized at all. However, knowing that she was just helping her to look for her daughter, Hailey felt extremely grateful that she was doing so much to the point of throwing her image away like this.

She asked worriedly, “Bro, can your friend really catch Zoey’s scent?”

‘This was just an unbelievable sight.’

Alex nodded with uncertainty. “I think so!”

He remembered that Aunt Rockefeller once told him that Zella carried the rare blood of a nine tailed fox.

For some reason, it had been activated in the past as well, so she held powers that ordinary people weren’t capable of.Considering what was happening now, Zella’s sense of smell might have a unique enhancement thanks to the blood of a nine-tailed fox.

“Here!” Zella switched directions and continued moving forward. After taking five to six pauses, Zella pointed to the ground, gesturing that Zoey was here.

The direction in which Zella pointed to shocked Hailey.

‘This is the underground!’

‘If my daughter’s underground, doesn’t that mean she’s buried?’

‘Could she still be alive?’

Not long after, Azure and his men arrived too. Countless Thousand Miles Conglomerate members and the visitors helping with the search nearby came over too.

Alex looked toward Zella.

He released his spiritual consciousness and directed it straight into the ground. Sure enough, his spiritual consciousness saw a tied-up Zoey further below ground and the two other girls.

He also saw some kidnappers huddled together, discussing how to avoid trouble and take advantage of Zoey to blackmail Thousand Miles Conglomerate.

In mere seconds, Alex felt a sudden rush of bloodthirstiness running within his veins.

‘These monsters have kidnapped three children in one go, destroying the mental support of three families.’

‘This is even crueler than murder!’

‘Kidnappers should die!’ Alex moved two steps to the side and beckoned for the crowd to be silent.

At the same time, the kidnappers in the tunnel were hiding like rats below, trembling in fear from the storming steps coming from above their heads. Suddenly, everything seemed to stop, their surroundings eerily silent.

The silence made them hold their breath.

Just then, a strong gush of energy exploded above their heads. Alex had concentrated the power of a million thunders onto his fist and struck it onto the road.

Boom!!!

It felt as if an earthquake had struck. The tunnel was smashed through in an instant, the road surface collapsing with it.

The surrounding crowd seemed fearfully surprised.

‘Such a powerful punch, it felt like one from the gods.’

The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 1300

Among the four kidnappers, two died on the spot while the other two were buried under the rumbles.

“Dig!” ordered Alex.

Hundreds of men in black instantly dug through the road surface, carrying the kidnappers out. Soon after, Zoey, together with the two other girls, was carried out of the tunnel by Alex.

“Zoey!” Hailey shouted, hugging Zoey tightly against her chest, her face full of tears. Half an hour of parting ways with her daughter felt like a century to her.

Once Zoey had returned safely, the heavy rock upon Alex’s heart was removed.

Now, looking at the other two children, he shouted to the crowd. “Who else here lost their child? Come take them back!”

His voice was as loud and powerful as a thousand rumbles of thunder.

Azure and the others were also shocked. “Who would have thought the kidnappers would take three children in one go and have hidden in such a concealed place? They must have done this countless times.”

Not long after, someone stumbled his way through. “That’s… That’s my kid, that’s my child!”

Another person then said, “The other child seemed to be lost this afternoon. The police came to search, but they couldn’t find her. Who would have thought she was hidden in such a place.”

Alex immediately asked Azure to contact the police.

In reality, the police were already here, and there were even troops from the brigade.

Thousand Miles Conglomerate sending out an emergency state order to find a child with the prize of a billion dollars as soon as the news came out, the city of California was immediately emptied. Every person that got the news had come to Disneyland to try their luck. But, Disneyland was fully surrounded, and few roads could still be passed. The others were all blocked.

The police cars were parked two kilometers away from the park. Even they couldn’t even get in.

The child was found. Such a frightening case had come to an end.

The gates of the park were opened again.

Countless people were relieved and happy that the child was found, more so who were astounded by Thousand Miles Conglomerate’s power and envious of the parents who got their children back by luck.

Right then, one of Azure’s subordinates reported, “Master Azure, Master Alex, I think there’s something off about this park.”

Alex asked, “How so?”

The subordinate replied, “I was feeling curious just now, so I went further into the tunnel. I found out that it leads to many other passages, and the venue of the main rides all have hidden tunnels. It feels like the place was specially designed to kidnap children.”

Hearing that, everyone’s expression changed.

Just then, Craig and his people arrived. Hearing such a thing, they immediately interrogated the director of the park. Besides, of four kidnappers from before, two of them were only hurt, so they were brought in for questioning too.

The director of this park was Norton Cambell. Valiantly, he denied all accusations. “These are empty, false claims, I have these passages underground so the workers can move around between rides easily, and it makes daily maintenance more manageable. As for these two kidnappers, I’ve never seen them in my life. I don’t know them.”

Alex said, “You better think before you answer. Don’t make yourself regret because of one small mistake.”

Norton shouted, “What do I have to think about. I mean it when I said I didn’t do it.”

He then spoke to Craig. “Mr. Selby, you’re one of the authorities. I request your protection as a citizen. My life has been severely threatened.”

Craig shook his head. “I don’t see any threats to your life.”

Alex smiled, taking out a small bottle and handing it to Azure. “This is called ‘heart-scratching parasite of a hundred days’. It’s a parasitic disease. You can use it according to the situation. I leave the rest to you. In thirty minutes, I want to know the truth!”

Azure nodded.

Norton shouted out in defiance.

Alex pulled Craig away. “Mr. Selby, let’s take a walk outside. We still haven’t found the parents of one of the kidnapped kids. I need your help with it.”

“Sure, no problem!”

Soon, heart wrenching shrieks came from the room behind. After less than twenty minutes, Azure came out.

He hurriedly went to Alex and said, “Master Alex, I have answers. He’s one with the kidnappers! Rumor is that there’s a big buyer in California, specifically looking for clean and pretty girls aged five to six and he’s offering a high price for it.”

Alex’s brows furrowed. “Who’s this big buyer?”
