The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 1471
Rhea Hauffer’s face turned pale.
She looked at Azure in disbelief as she said in a trembling voice, “You… What do you mean? Are you chasing me away?”
Azure said, “You can think of it that way.”
“Why? Can you tell me what have I done wrong? I’m caring about you. I’m worried that you might offend somebody that you shouldn’t. What have I done wrong? You think I’m scared? I’m just worried about you. Don’t you understand?”
Azure looked straight into her eyes. “I understand, but this is also the reason why we aren’t meant for each other. After all, we walk different paths! We people from Thousand Miles Conglomerate can die on our feet than to live on our knees. Besides, he deserves to die for having the guts to insult Master Rockefeller!”
After he made his statement, he ordered his subordinates to throw Winel out of the entrance right away.
“You… You’re simply unbelievable!” Rhea yelled. “You’re inviting a disaster to befall Thousand Miles Conglomerate! Do you know who is behind Winel? It’s the Lord Commander’s grandnephew from Department Six. May I ask, can you afford to offend him?”
Azure was stunned.
Never did he expect that the person behind the opponent would be the Lord Commander. At this moment, he frowned very hard.
If this was the case, it seemed that Thousand Miles Conglomerate really could not afford to offend him.
As for Winel, both his legs were broken and he was thrown out of the entrance. He was insanely infuriated and yelled, “I’m telling you people, you are all finished! How dare you break my leg?! Just wait for Young Master Xenos and Lord Commander’s wrath to befall you people! Your Thousand Miles Conglomerate is going to be razed to the ground.”
“Really?”
At this moment, a luxurious sports car drove in from the outside and stopped in front of the entrance.
A stunning beauty, who was dressed in a crimson red traditional dress, got out of the car. It was none other than Thousand Miles Conglomerate’s CEO, Waltz Fleur.
After getting out of the car, she slowly walked up to him while looking at him. “Would the Lord Commander listen to a small character like you?”
As she said that, she stepped on Winel’s broken leg with her high heels.
Upon exerting force, Winel yelled in pain.
“Argh! Let go! Let go of your foot. W-who are you?!”
Waltz said, “I’m the CEO of Thousand Miles Conglomerate, Waltz Fleur.”
“You’re Waltz Fleur? Great Listen here, I’m Winel Grundy and I came on behalf of Young Master Xenos! Young Master Xenos is the Lord Commander’s grandnephew from Department Six. Now, you only have one option. Get your company’s Master Rockefeller to head to Michigan to treat Young Master Xenos right now. After that, you have to ruin Azure Storm’s martial arts and sever all his limbs. Otherwise, you people… Owh!”
Before Winel could finish speaking, his arm was twisted off by Waltz. Then, it was the other arm.
“The Lord Commander’s grandnephew, right? Ask him to see me personally!”
After doing all this, Waltz walked into Hell’s Angels in high heels.
She just heard what Rhea had said earlier.
She shook her head at Rhea and said, “Azure is right. Our Thousand Miles Conglomerate is a tough nut. We will only die on our feet rather than live on our knees. It seems like Miss Hauffer still doesn’t know my brother well enough. There will be even more conflicts if you two are together forcefully. Miss Hauffer, I think you should just let go of him!”
“Huh?”
Rhea was really confused. “Miss Fleur, you’re the CEO of Thousand Miles Conglomerate. How could you let your emotions get in the way? This isn’t a problem about being a tough nut or not Rather, this is a problem about whether the entire Thousand Miles Conglomerate will be overthrown.”
Waltz waved her hand. “This is our problem!”
After that, she called two people from Hell’s Angels. “You guys, please see Miss Hauffer out!”
Rhea’s chest heaved as she was furious. This was the treatment that she got for her good intentions.
‘How could these two people be so stubborn? Can’t they tell the difference between good and bad words?’
“You-you people are going to regret this.”
Waltz was not concerned. Instead, she said toward Azure, “Bro Azure, I shouldn’t have convinced you previously. Normal women really aren’t suitable for a man like you. Don’t worry, I’ll find you a satisfactory wife.”
“Hmm!”
Rhea was equivalent to the one who had brought Winel and the person behind his back, Gill, here to be provoked by him. This was also one of the reasons why Azure felt disgusted.
She did not even discuss this with him beforehand and brought the person over right away. Now, it may even cause trouble to Alex.
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 1472
What a troublesome woman.
Soon, Gill Xenos found out about the news from his side. He knew that not only Winel had failed to invite Master Rockefeller, but all his limbs were also ruined by the people from Thousand Miles Conglomerate. He was instantly infuriated. “Winel, don’t worry. I, Gill Xenos, will seek justice for you. I’ll definitely let the Thousand Miles Conglomerate know the consequences of offending me.”
After hanging up this phone call, Gill made another call out. “Uncle Johansson, it’s Gill here. Can you do me a favor?”
***
An hour later, there was a commotion in California. More than a dozen official departments of California conduct inspections on Thousand Miles Conglomerate in turn.
In the end, they had sealed more than a hundred large shops owned by Thousand Miles of Conglomerate in one go. Even the biggest mall in California had been sealed away. Seals were stuck on the main entrance while the customers were chased out of the mall rudely. Even some people in the mall who had paid money were chased out before they could get their goods. In an instant, there was a great deal of public discontent and grievances.
“Miss Fleur, we have an emergency. Seventy percent of our Thousand Miles of Conglomerate’s business has been sealed away. What should we do?”
“Miss Fleur, the government officials even came to the company to check our accounts, saying that they suspected us of tax evasion.”
“Miss Fleur…”
Waltz was seated at the first chair of the meeting room. At this moment, her subordinates were bringing one bad news after another. However, she was not afraid, as if everything was under her control.
Not long after, someone came to make another report.
“Miss Fleur, some of the senior executives have proposed to resign. What should we do?”
“What?” Azure jumped up instantly. “The company is now in its most difficult time, yet someone actually wants to resign? Which senior executives did that? I’m going to break their legs.”
Waltz waved her hand. “No big deal. Approved!”
Azure said, “Waltz, you’re just letting them go like that? Isn’t that a cheap bargain for them?”
Waltz shook her head. “We can’t force everyone to stand together with us. If anyone would like to resign and look for a better job elsewhere, they are free to leave! But I, Waltz Fleur, will make it clear beforehand, those who leave today shall be blacklisted by Thousand Miles Conglomerate and shall not be hired by Thousand Miles Conglomerate and our allied units at any time in the future.”
Those words from Waltz were passed down, yet those people who proposed to resign did not take it to heart at all.
‘Your company is going to close down. Who would still care if we’re working here?’
As time passed, there was even more bad news about the company, tax evasion, forced buying and selling, using the dark forces of the underworld to retaliate and affect normal business operations as well as social unrest. All of this news came pouring down and making them breathless.
All of these reminded them of Rockefeller Group a year ago.
Back then, Rockefeller Group was in decline and then it had turned from a first-class group to a second-rated group.
Afterwards, more and more employees resigned because everyone was afraid of being implicated, especially the middle and upper management. On the contrary, the workers at the bottom level did not feel much. If someone were to be caught, it would not be the bottom-class people’s turn. If they wanted to resign, it would not be too late to wait until the company completely closed down.
Just when everyone was watching Waltz on how she was going to handle the crisis, several people from Department Six walked into the meeting room.
“Who is Waltz Fleur?”
“Get up and follow us!”
The person who spoke was Uncle Johansson whom Gill had called for help. He was in his forties and he was called Lennox Johansson, one of the commanders in Department Six.
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 1473
“Who are you people? Who let you people in?”
“What kind of place do you think this is? Get the hell out of here now!”
The people who could join this meeting with Waltz were the absolute top management of Thousand Miles Conglomerate. They were the key people and there were many martial artists among them. Seeing several men in black barging in and calling for Waltz, the CEO, to leave with them, a martial artist immediately stood up.
Smack!
However, in the next second, a slap landed right on his face. The person who did it was Lennox Johansson.
This person has a pair of big eyes and a crooked, small mouth. At first glance, he was a narrow-minded person. The martial artist who was a director fell on the ground after receiving a slap from Lennox. With a thud, he spat out a mouthful of fallen teeth and blood, shocking everyone at the scene.
Not only did these people dare to barge in, but they even dared to resort to violence.
However, Thousand Miles Conglomerate was not any ordinary company. How could they have not seen blood before when they single-handedly controlled the underworld of California?
At that moment, the majority of the directors stood up and chided.
“Stop!”
“Who gave you the permission to beat people up in here?!”
“Someone come! Are the security guards and bodyguards all dead? Grab these few guys!”
The person who yelled was one of the major shareholders of Thousand Miles Conglomerate. He used to be Lord Lex Gunther’s good brother who was willing to risk his life and limb for him. He was Zenon Yan. However, as soon as he said that, the door of the conference room was once again knocked open. A figure flew in and hit the conference table heavily.
Bam!
The person on the table spat a mouthful of blood. Waltz’s heart skipped a beat and erupted in anger as she could not restrain it any longer. The person was actually Azure.
“Bro Azure, are you okay?”
Waltz jumped onto the conference table and helped Azure get up. Immediately, she took out a healing pill and stuffed it into Azure’s mouth.
She stared sideways at the people before her and said coldly, “Who did this?”
“It’s me. So what?”
A man in his early thirties strutted in from outside the entrance. He had ahead of long hair and was dressed the same as Lennox and the others. He even had a cigarette in his mouth while cynically looking at Waltz who was on the conference table.
At this moment, Waltz was still wearing her red traditional dress. The way she was squatting over there was very seductive. In addition to her devastatingly beautiful features, it made people lose themselves in endless wild and fancy thoughts.
“You deserve to die!”
“I don’ t care who you are, you’re going to pay the price!”
As Waltz stomped the conference table heavily, half of the table underneath her foot had crushed. She charged at the long-haired youth like a ghost, spinning her body continuously in the air while emitting a high-pitched scream.
It was her unique skill, Moon of the Nine Revolutions!
“Hehe, beauty, you’re kinda interesting!”
“But, your Thousand Miles Conglomerate’s greatest Chieftains is just like an ant in my hands. You, a woman, dare to fight against me?”
When the long-haired youth watched Waltz ’s offensive stance, he did not show a hint of fear. On the contrary, he was fire eyed.
Since such a beautiful lady wanted to fight him, he could humiliate and take advantage of her by touching and hugging while fighting her.
He spat the cigarette out and extended one arm to press toward that part of Waltz.
“Hmph! ” Waltz’s eyes turned even sterner. Her long leg chopped down viciously.
Bam!
Crack!
There was a clear sound of a bone fracture.
The long-haired youth’s expression changed abruptly, displaying shock and pain. His hand that just wanted to grab Waltz had been severed by her long leg right away. A bone poked out at the arm’s joint, with blood streaming down.
“What?”
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 1474
“You’re a half-stepped Grandmaster? How can you be so strong?”
The long-haired youth took several steps backwards until his back touched the wall. He was holding onto his broken arm with a pale face.
Several people from Department Six were shocked at the same time. They had received the wrong information.
According to the information that they had, Azure Storm was Thousand Miles Conglomerate’s strongest martial artist and he had control of California’s underworld. Other than Azure, there were no other great martial artists. As for Waltz Fleur, she should only be an Intermediate-Royal ranked martial artist. How could she be a half-stepped Grandmaster?!
“You people deserve to die for trespassing Thousand Miles Conglomerate and hurting my people!”
Waltz stood up with a surging aura.
At this time, the other shareholders and senior executives of Thousand Miles Conglomerate were impressed by Waltz’s powerful aura.
Everyone clapped for her.
“Almighty Miss Fleur!”
“Almighty Miss Fleur!”
Lennox’s eyes turned cold as he shouted sternly, “Presumptuous! Waltz Fleur, how dare you hurt my Department Six’s people? How should you be punished? Kneel down immediately and confess your crime. Otherwise, we shall kill you without hesitation!”
“Department Six?”
Fleur’s pupils shrank.
When Alex was interrogated by three parties at the Zimmers’ residence last time, the Lord Commander from Department Six was present at the scene and fought Geronimo Melvis. The Martial Honor’s strength had shocked everyone present. Even President Melvis was no match for him.
Meanwhile, many people at the scene had not heard of the secret department’s name, Department Six.
Several people even made snide remarks.
“What Department Six? What a mess. Do they think they’re filming some medieval series? We’re still with the Knights Templar, and I’ll be Jacques de Molay then!”
“Hahaha! That’s right, this is ridiculous. What do you people even do? Were you people released from the mental institution? You even want our Miss Fleur to kneel before you, do you have the qualification to do so? Why don’t you take a piss to look at yourself?”
The mockery from the several people had made Lennox’s face tremble several times.
Department Six was very powerful and some local officials would tremble three times when they saw them, yet they were ridiculed by a few commoners.
They simply deserved death!
Lennox looked toward Waltz and said, “Does that mean that you’re going to resist the law with violence?”
Waltz said coldly, “I know Grant Xenos from Department Six, but I would really like to go and ask the Lord Commander if you’re actually his subordinate! You’re the ones who play dirty on us, aren’t you? Just a word of advice, don’t flatter the wrong person.”
Lennox’s expression changed. He was slightly suspicious. ‘Does Waltz Fleur really know the Lord Commander?’
However, he soon put away the thought.
Gill Xenos was the Lord Commander’s grandnephew. Even if Waltz knew the Lord Commander, could she be closer to him than Gill?
“Nonsense! Do you think you really know our Lord Commander just because you know his name? Do you think I’m easily scared?”
Waltz said, “Well, you could try!”
Lennox scowled and said, “Waltz Fleur, don’t mislead yourself! I’ll give you two options. First, hand over Doctor Rockefeller and follow me to kneel before Young Master Gill Xenos for an apology. Second, your Thousand Miles Conglomerate shall be completely banished and all the senior executives will be jailed.”
Fleur smiled. She pointed at the camera in the corner of the meeting room and said, “Aren’t you afraid that your actions will be recorded?”
Lennox laughed. “So what? My Department Six doesn’t care about these at all when we deal with cases. Fake footage is everywhere and yours is just one of them!”
“We don’t have anything else to say then!”
“You’re the leader? We can talk again after I take you down!”
Waltz made an instant decision to strike boldly. Waltz used the Moon of the Nine Revolutions to take down Lennox immediately.
However, a few men in black next to Lennox took out their guns at this moment.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Unexpectedly, they fired shots at Waltz without hesitation!
“Ah!”
Everyone at the scene was shocked. To their surprise, those people had guns. Furthermore, they even dared to fire shots on the spot.
These people were indeed fearless!
“Waltz!” yelled Azure. He wanted to charge over to save her but he was heavily injured. How could he possibly make it in time?
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 1475
Gunshots stopped, leaving only dead silence at the scene.
Lennox looked at the fallen Waltz with disdain in his eyes.
“Hmph! Except for that chief steward, nobody in America dares to confront Department Six. You’re an idiot to fight against us. Don’t blame anyone if you die because you have a death wish!”
Meanwhile, the people from Thousand Miles of Conglomerate stared at Waltz and the bloodstains on the ground. They were shocked and terrified.
Even Miss Fleur was beaten to death on the Spot. Wouldn’t people like them be casually dealt with?
As Azure rushed to Waltz’s side, he shouted with reddened eyes, “Waltz! Waltz! No!”
This was his sister, someone who was even Closer than a biological sister. She was also the girl whom he once loved. Yet, she had been shot dead right before his eyes now. He hated it!
“I’ll fight you with my life!” Azure roared like a beast. He was ready to pounce up to Lennox and die with him. He believed that he could do that.
However, a red shadow flashed by their eyes. Just when everyone thought that Waltz was dead, she suddenly burst into action.
She charged right beside Lennox in a split second and choked his neck. Two of her fingers directly pierced through the skin on his neck, with half an inch into his flesh. Two trails of blood wounds were formed as blood flowed down her fingers.
“Ah!”
“She’s not dead!”
The people from Department Six were shocked, so they immediately fired their guns at Waltz again.
However, Waltz hid behind Lennox and applied force on her fingers again, going into another half an inch. Lennox could feel a tremendous pain in his neck. This was his first time in life to be so close to the Grim Reaper. He felt so painful that he screamed terribly like a pig being slaughtered. Facing the several guns that were aimed in his direction, he immediately reminded his subordinates of Department Six in a loud voice. “Lower your guns! Lower your guns immediately! Watch out for misfires!”
After looking at each other, several people from Department Six put down their guns.
Waltz ridiculed. “I didn’t expect you to be quite afraid of death. I haven’t even said anything and you’ve already asked them to lower their guns.”
Azure was overjoyed. “Waltz, you aren’t dead! I was scared witless!”
Waltz grunted. “These rubbish can’t kill me.”
However, only she knew that it was still very dangerous just now.
Never did she expect that Lennox and his subordinates would be so lawless. Not only did they accuse them by framing them, but they even shot her under the circumstances without any evidence. It was her fault of negligence that such a department like Department Six had great power. She had just broken the long-haired youth’s arm earlier, so Department Six had an excuse to kill her without bearing any responsibilities.
If she had not worn the Galactic Protection Amulet made by Alex personally all the time, she would not have been able to dodge the few bullets at the beginning. However, the Galactic Protection Amulet had helped her block at least four shots.
Then, she quickly dodge the rest and avoid the vitals. However, two shots had hit her in the end, one brushed through the edge of her stomach while the other hit her left arm.
She faked her death earlier to wait for a good opportunity. Until Lennox had finally put his guard down, she captured him in one blow.
“Waltz, you should know very well that fighting against Department Six won’t do you any good. If you dare to kill me today, I guarantee that you’ll regret it for sure!” Lennox’s neck was in great pain and his whole body was trembling, yet he did not forget to threaten Waltz.
“You people are going to shoot me to death anyway. What else can I regret? Killing one is worth the cost, and killing two is a good bargain.”
“You… Let me be honest with you. The main troop of Department Six is just right outside. The gunshots earlier must have alerted them and they’ll charge in here soon. If you kill me right now, you people will all die here!”
Bang! Bang!
After he said that, there were two loud sounds.
The glass window on the east side of the meeting room was heavily shattered by someone and slammed open. Two heavily armed men in black came crashing in.
Thud! Thud! Thud!
As the sounds of three cans dropping on the ground were heard, a huge swath of tear gas flooded the entire meeting room in the blink of an eye.
Immediately afterwards, loud footsteps came from outside the door.
The main troop of Department Six had indeed arrived.
“Knock out all the targets!”
“Kill all the rebels!”
“Execute Waltz Fleur on the spot!”
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 1476
Waltz heard a man’s cold and merciless voice, but she didn’t have Alex’s capabilities. The tear gas had stung her eyes, making the tears flow out turbulently. She couldn’t open her eyes at all, and couldn’t see clearly the surrounding situation. She could only tightened her hold on Lennox and moved around according to her memory.
At this moment, she heard someone shouting, “Waltz, over here. Waltz, over here…”
When Waltz felt her back had hit someone, she turned around abruptly, trying her best to open her eyes.
As a result, she saw the black muzzle of a gun aimed right in between her eyes. And, the owner of the gun pulled the trigger without hesitation.
Bang!
***
In the building of Thousand Miles Conglomerate, there was a red Porsche 911 parked at the entrance. Rhea Hauffer, who was sitting quietly in the driver’s seat, looked at the inside of the Thousand Miles Conglomerate building through the car window.
At this moment, countless people were running out of the building in panic.
Everyone’s face was filled with fear and anxiousness. Some people among the crowd fell, and then were trampled on.
“Sigh!” Rhea sighed, before saying quietly, “I already said that you would regret it! Fool, what a fool! You thought that it was commendably courageous, but in fact it was just stupid! Such a privileged institution like Department Six is not something that you, an insignificant figure from the underworld, can mess with! You are what the people say you are, after all!”
“It’s fine, forget it. After all, you are unrefined and not presentable. I, Rhea Hauffer, just wanted to give you some praise, yet you didn’t seize the opportunity.”
She started the car and was about to leave the place. Suddenly, a helicopter flew over frantically. The helicopter had yet to land, and it was still dozens of meters above the ground. All of a sudden, a figure jumped down abruptly.
Boom!
The figure fell directly in front of the building, on the roof of a law enforcement vehicle. In that instant, the entire car was flattened into a scrap metal.
Then, a thunderous voice sounded. “You lapdogs from Department Six, how dare you touch my grandson’s wife?! I want you all to die!”
Immediately afterwards, a few more figures jumped down from the helicopter. The few people rushed into the building like a gust of wind.
All the people from Department Six who were guarding the door were shocked.
Rhea was taken aback as her eyes widened in shock.
‘There are still people coming to help them at this time? They clearly have high level martial arts, who are they?’
However, she soon shook her head and muttered, “No matter who comes over, it’s all useless. Fighting against Department Six, the only end you get from it is obliteration! Azure Storm, this is your own choice!”
Rhea didn’t intend to continue watching, so she drove off. It was because she felt that no matter how the process was, the ending was already cast in stone.
***
Bang!
A gunshot sounded out.
Waltz thought that she would be dead for sure.
Without the Galactic Protection Amulet, it was impossible to dodge the high speed bullets fired at such a near distance.
However, the expected pain on her head didn’t appear.
‘Could it be that taking a bullet to the head felt like this?’
Just as she was feeling cold all over her body, She saw a woman standing in front of her amidst the white smoke all around them. The woman had used dainty, fair hands to block the muzzle of the gun, as well as stop the bullet from coming out.
“Have you asked for my permission before killing her?”
Crack!
The cold body of the gun was twisted and now resembled a twisted knot bun.
Waltz recognized the owner of this voice.
“Aunt!”
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 1477
The person who came was none other than Aunt Rockefeller.
After a hum, she slashed the neck of the Department Six member who had opened fire with a knife, cutting him down instantly.
The tears continued to leak out from Waltz’s eyes, but she was still unable to withstand the sting from the tear gas and quickly closed her eyes once again. Both her eyes were flushed from the stinging. Even her vision became blurred.
However, she had seen it clearly.
Aunt Rockefeller’s eyes were bright and wide without a single hint of tears in them. It seemed that the tear gas had no effect on her at all. Aunt Rockefeller held Waltz’s hand while guiding her through the conference room. From time to time, she lashed out with a palm or her knife, causing the members of Department Six to fall to the ground silently and make a series of thud sounds.
Waltz could also hear shouts coming from their walkie talkies, but often there was no response to it.
And then, Geronimo rushed in with Brittany, Maya, Holly and the others, as well as a few experts from Divine Constabulary.
“Those lackeys from Department Six, d*mnit, who let you people come in?!”
“They even dare to touch my grandson’s wife, how dare they have the balls to do this?!”
Meanwhile, Brittany and Maya shouted, “Waltz, Waltz, where are you?”
Waltz quickly replied, “Mom, Maya, I’m here!”
As Aunt Rockefeller stood in front of the broken window, her eyes flashed while looking at Brittany who was coming through the smoke.
She didn’t move forward.
Basically, the members of Department Six in the conference room had all been dealt with by her. She believed that Divine Constabulary would be able to deal with the rest of them outside. Seeing Waltz taking a few steps forward and meeting Brittany and the others, she jumped out from the broken window and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
There was only a faint whisper left in the air, “Where did that guy go off to?”
***
With just a call from Gill Xenos, Lennox and the others began their attack on the Thousand Miles Conglomerate.
Up till now, the people from Department Six had been launching their attacks on Thousand Miles Conglomerate.
In the entire process, a day had already passed.
However, Alex’s phone had been in an uncontactable state, as if he had disappeared from the world.
Aunt Rockefeller had long gone to Rockefeller Manor to look for him, but there was no one there. She had covered the entire manor with her spiritual sense and searched every inch of the place, but still couldn’t find any signs of him.
In the Thousand Miles Conglomerate building, Geronimo and the others had quickly taken control of the situation.
The Lord Commander of Department Six had not shown up, so no one else could pose a threat to Geronimo, who had just officially been promoted to Innate Martial Honor.
Slap!
Geronimo instantly gave Lennox a slap on his face, and cursed, “Bast*rd! You’re the brute who gave the order to make things difficult for Thousand Miles, to frame them and set them up? God d*mmit, where’s the tax evasion you talked about? Where is the monopoly market they did?”
“And you even dare to open fire against my grandson’s wife?! You’re a stubborn one, aren’t you?”
Slap, slap, slap!
Geronimo gave consecutive slaps to Lennox on the face. Lennox’s nose was bleeding, and his face was sore.
The other members from Department Six next to them didn’t dare to make a sound. No one would have imagined that this old madman from Divine Constabulary would run all the way here to support Thousand Miles Conglomerate, and even said that Waltz was his grandson’s wife.
Lennox was very depressed.
There was immense resentment in his heart right now towards the intelligence system of Department Six right now. How the hell did they investigate it? How could they have omitted such important information about Waltz being the wife of Divine Constabulary’s president’s grandson? This was something that could send them to their death!
Although Gill was the Lord Commander’s grandnephew, Geronimo was a big shot who was on the same level as the Lord Commander.
Lennox wouldn’t have dared to offend Geronimo just in order to please Gill and get into his good graces, until he was out of his mind.
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 1478
However, Lennox also understood that with Geronimo’s Short temper, he really would be beaten to death at this rate. Moreover, when the time came, it would be impossible to expect the Lord Commander to go all out against Divine Constabulary just because of one subordinate’s death.
Department Six wouldn’t agree to it, and neither would the higher-ups of the department. So, he needed to save himself, to stand on a moral high ground and manufacture a public opinion.
He protested loudly, “President Melvis, I know that I can’t measure up to you and you can even kill me at any time. You’re the dignified president of Divine Constabulary, and killing me will be as easy as killing a chicken. But, I’m not afraid of you! Department Six stands behind me, and I will not disgrace them! I stand on the side of reason and justice. Evil can never prevail over good since ancient times, so I don’t believe that you can hide the truth from the masses.”
“Evil can never prevail over good? F*cker!” Geronimo cursed out directly. “What do you take me for, a demon? When I was leading Divine Constabulary from the cradle to the grave, you piece of sh*t were still wearing pampers, what justice can you represent?!”
Slap! Slap!
As he said that, he slapped Lennox in the face two more times.
“Do you think I don’t know what you’re trying to do? In order to flatter Grant Xenos’s grandnephew, you blind fella actually wanted to destroy Thousand Miles Conglomerate and kill my grandson’s wife. You think I don’t dare to touch you?”
Lennox yelled, “That’s all your slander! I, Lennox Johannsen, have done what’s right for the sake of justice! I have a clear conscience and feel no qualms! Thousand Miles Conglomerate has developed underworld forces, oppressed the good people and destroyed the markets! Everyone with eyes could see that! And just yesterday, they had brutally broken the limbs of a man named Winel Grundy from Michigan, and today they attacked my people from Department Six. I acted on behalf of Department Six to arrest people, what’s the problem with that?!”
Geronimo frowned.
Right now, in front of so many people’s eyes, this guy kept yelling. As Divine Constabulary’s president, if Geronimo killed him directly, he would definitely face criticism.
Moreover, in principle, Divine Constabulary had no right to execute anyone from Department Six. At the scene, there were at least thirty people from Department Six, their gazes all fixed on him.
‘God d*mmit, I should have just beaten him to death during the mess earlier!’
Just when Geronimo was feeling extremely regretful and Waltz along with everyone else were also unable to do anything, a leisurely voice sounded. “I have a problem with that!”
The moment the voice sounded, Brittany, Waltz and everyone else were overjoyed and let out a breath of relief. It was because they could recognize that the person who came was Alex.
After an entire day, forty eight hours, he had finally woken up.
No, it should be said that he had come back.
***
Going back in time to a day ago, Alex, who had been enveloped by the golden runes that had been released by the Shattered Chaos bead, saw a huge Reclining Buddha statue. Then, he had disappeared from the room that he had been in.
That was also the reason why Aunt Rockefeller had once come looking for him, but didn’t manage to find any trace of him.
It was because inside that shattered bead, a small universe on its own had been unexpectedly sealed inside.
Alex had been dragged into that small world after being enveloped by the golden runes.
“Adoration to Avalokitesvara the Bodhisattva… Mahasattva who is the great compassionate one…”
The constant chanting was exactly a pure Buddhist melody.
Alex listened to it with his ears, letting the chants fill his heart. It felt as though it possessed certain magical powers, causing him to have a feeling of wanting to head over to worship it immediately. He soon discovered that the Buddhist melodies came from the mouth of the huge Reclining Buddha.
In the huge reclining Buddha statue that traversed the sky and the earth, the mouth looked like a huge cave. Alex had lost himself in the Buddhist melodies.
He walked towards the Reclining Buddha like a zombie, he even intended to climb through its huge mouth. However, just as Alex had one foot in its mouth, the remnant of the Chaos Bead in his mind palace burst out and shook violently.
Whoosh!
The shock went through the entire Space.
The endless golden Reclining Buddha also broke from the impact and collapsed like sand. Finally, it turned into nothingness, as though it never existed in the first place.
However, in front of Alex, an old monk with black stripes all over his face appeared.
He gave Alex a ferocious look. “You actually broke my Golden Mirage Dragon.”
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 1479
As Alex looked at the monk with black stripes on his face, he was extremely surprised.
‘Where did this monk appear from? And what is the Golden Mirage Dragon? Was it that huge Reclining Buddha statue just now?’
In fact, he had already been enchanted by the Buddhist melodies a while ago. With his current mental power at the Divine Transcendence stage, he could not resist the Buddhist melodies from the Buddhist monk with black stripes on his face at all.
If it weren’t for the sudden shock from the Chaos Bead to cause the collapse of the Reclining Buddha statue, he would have long since stepped into the mouth of the statue. And, that Buddha statue was called the Golden Mirage Dragon.
The moment he entered its mouth, Alex would have thrown himself into its trap by getting caught by the monk with black stripes on his face. Then, his body would then be taken over by the monk.
This was another existence that was ready to take over someone’s body.
Alex looked at the monk with a frown and took two steps backwards.
He could feel that the monk would be a troublesome guy and should be quite powerful. When the monk looked at him, it felt as though his soul was restless, as i f it was about to drift out.
“Who are you? What is this place?” Alex asked.
The monk was initially furious, but when he heard Alex’s words, he was taken aback. Then, he carefully studied Alex, and then exclaimed after a while, “Y-you’re actually a brat who’s only at Divine Transcendence! How can trash like you enter my Mirage Dragon Realm?!”
Alex was also taken aback. “What’s the Mirage Dragon Realm?”
However, the black striped monk ignored him and clutched his own head frantically. If he had hair, all of it would be pulled out right now. He paced around on the spot and said, “Impossible. Impossible! How can someone at Divine Transcendence come inside here? Trash like that would instantly be crushed to death. What’s the use of a body like this? It won’t be able to withstand the power of reincarnation of mine.”
Alex heard it right away. “You want to take over my body?”
The black striped monk stared at him and didn’t speak, as though he was thinking of a way.
However, in the next moment, his expression twisted all of a sudden. The black stripes receded from his face and he had turned into a fair faced monk. He opened his mouth and said, “Amitabha, excellent, excellent! Black Stripe, you’ve accounted for everything and arranged all the important secrets, yet you are still no match for the destiny at the end. You never would have thought that the first person to enter your Mirage Dragon Realm would be a Divine Transcendence who has yet to achieve immortality, right?”
Alex was stunned, shocked once again at the turn of events.
‘What the hell was up with this monk?’
In the next second, the monk changed again, black stripes started appearing once again.
He snorted and said, “Then, how the heck did he get in? Since he was able to enter my Mirage Dragon Realm, it means that his body is strong enough. He’s a deviant who should be able to withstand my power of reincarnation, so it shows that I’m still successful.”
Then, the fair-faced monk appeared again. “No, you’re destined not to succeed. He might be able to bear it, but you won’t.”
“Revealer, what do you mean?” Black Stripe asked.
The fair-faced monk replied, “Look at him properly, what does he have in his mind palace?”
After a moment, Black Stripe yelled out, “Oh! No! He actually has Mother Chaos!”
Alex was able to understand what he was talking about again. It seems that this schizophrenic monk couldn’t easily deal with Alex due to Mother Chaos.
With that, he felt slightly relieved. So, he asked, “What in the world are you guys talking about? Can you tell me what this place is? Could it be that it’s just an illusion that you guys created?”
The fair-faced monk shook his head. “It’s neither an illusion nor a reality.”
“What do you mean?”
“To see a world in a grain of sand, and a heaven in a wild flower. Hold infinity in the palm of your hand, and eternity in an hour. This is a universe within the shattered Chaos beads!”
“Huh? Then, how do I get out?”
Alex didn’t want to stay here any longer because it felt too dangerous.
If he had known that he would get this kind of results, he wouldn’t have picked up the bead even if he died.
The fair-faced monk didn’t reply. Instead, he spoke to the black striped monk. “Black Stripe, you and I belong to the same body, and we have been waiting here for countless years. In the end, are you still not going to give up? The path of Buddhism will not perish, and has its reincarnation of destiny. You’ve spent your entire life trying to completely overthrow the world of Buddhism, yet it’s destined that you won’t be able to succeed. The person in front of you who carries the Mother Chaos is the best proof. He is the choice that the destiny of Buddhism has chosen! Amitabha!”
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 1480
The black striped monk yelled, “I’m not satisfied, I’m not contented! Buddhism is a path of cultivation. What’s the purpose of cultivating Buddhism, and What is the use of Buddhism?”
The fair-faced monk put his hands together. “Virtuous knowledge, enlightenment of oneself, originally pure, but with this heart, you can attain Buddhahood!”
“Black Stripe, you are initially my evil thoughts. You were born because of me, and you will perish with me. I can go with the burning flame of Buddhism too! The only wishes I have are that this unjustified knot will be solved once and for all, the barriers of sins will be removed forever, those evil thoughts will never appear again, the enlightenment will never retreat. Excellent, excellent!”
The voice of the fair-faced monk was loud like rolling thunder, and it gave Alex a feeling of divine enlightenment.
In the next moment, the fair-faced monk glowed with endless golden light and turned into a form of golden energy, quickly piercing into Alex’s body.
Alex was astonished.
In fact, he didn’t even understand the old monk’s words and intention at all. He was worried that the reason the guy had gone into his body was to take over it.
But soon, a mass of information passed into his sea of consciousness. This was the last thing that the fair-faced monk passed onto him.
It let him understand one thing, the fair-faced monk had an honorific title called Revealer, and Black Stripe was his evil thoughts that had been cut out by his Sword of Wisdom later, allowing the lump of evil thoughts to form its own consciousness. Once it had its own thoughts, Black Stripe wanted to destroy Buddhism, and topple over the entire foundation of Buddhism.
In the end, he obviously didn’t succeed.
Revealer had managed to recover the evil thoughts. However, at the time, the evil thoughts had long since taken its own shape, which was equivalent to another complete soul. Revealer used his own body in exchange to seal the black patterns of evil thoughts into the shattered Chaos heads, but Black Stripe still did not give up and had established the Mirage Dragon Realm, waiting to grab a chance to be reborn through possession.
Then, he ran into Alex, who had the Mother Chaos in his mind palace.
“No, no!”
“Revealer, you’re wrong, you’re wrong! You shouldn’t do this, you shouldn’t!” Black Stripe’s face and Revealer’s face appeared alternatively, looking very much like schizophrenia. Finally, Black Stripe also passed a dash of thoughts into Alex’s mind, “Brat, remember to not believe in Revealer’s nonsense. Don’t cultivate Buddhism, it’s a scam, an extremely shocking scam! It’s purpose is to obliterate humanity. I will pass you a technique, it’s called Brahma’s Supreme Touch. It’ll be able to save your life if you ever encounter the great power of Buddha.”
With a gush of thought, he was enlightened with perfect wisdom, the flawless Buddhist teachings. And then, whether it was Revealer or Black Stripe, both entered into his body.
They still had soul power. However, with just a turn from the Chaos Bead, those soul powers collapsed.
On the other hand, Alex felt a huge force explode in his body, impacting his internal organs and his meridians. His cultivation base rose rapidly… He was initially only at the early stage of Divine Transcendence, but it soon hit the intermediate stage.
And then, it reached the advanced stage. Then, it had reached the peak!
He was only one step away from Core Formation.
He was only one step away from Core Formation.
As for Brahma’s Supreme Touch that Black Stripe had given him, it didn’t need Alex’s control. To his surprise, it had been evolving in his sea of consciousness, just like it had been practically engraved into his soul. He knew it now even if he didn’t want to.
In this case, it was unknown how long it took.
As the Buddhist melodies in his ear gradually disappeared, the scenery in front of him suddenly changed. He had returned to reality. Then, he found out that an entire day and night had passed.
After that, he received a call from Dorothy, learning that the Thousand Miles Conglomerate had faced a great change and it was about to be overturned.
Countless crimes had been listed by the government. Circumstances at Thousand Miles had even constantly changed, with gunshots being heard from inside the building.
Alex rushed to the Thousand Miles building immediately. He happened to hear Lennox’s words.
“I have an opinion in regards to that!”
“Who are you?” Lennox frowned. “Do you even have the right to speak here?”
Alex was calm as he replied, “Weren’t you looking for me? You don’t even know who I am? I am Master Rockefeller.”
