Ch. 1491..1500
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 1491
“Alright, I’ll be there later!” Alex thought for a while before agreeing.
He was going to head into Caesar’s tomb soon, and to be honest, the more he understood, the less confidence he had. If even his father had been trapped in it, how could he return safely?
He wasn’t sure. However, for the sake of his parents, Alex needed to make the trip.
This was an obligatory matter as the son of the man. Dorothy had been his original partner, and she should understand this, and it was a matter Alex needed to explain clearly to her.
Claire heard his agreement and was happy. “Okay, I’ll go shopping now. What do you want to eat? If you can tell me now, I’ll have some idea of what to shop for.”
“Anything is good. I’m not a picky eater… Uh, or maybe it’s better if you wait for me to come over and cook!” Alex said.
The things that Claire cooked couldn’t be forced down the throat, and if they weren’t careful, they might end up being poisoned to death.
***
On the other side, Rhea Hauffer had returned to Michigan.
This woman was extremely decisive when doing things, just like how things were done in her industry. Once she decided, she wouldn’t change her mind again because she was extremely confident in herself.
For example, this time, after drawing a clear line with Azure, she had completely put him out of her mind.
The car was parked in an underground parking garage, and she didn’t forget to glance at herself in the mirror to laugh to herself. “Rhea Hauffer, what kind of sickness in the head have you gotten? To have given a glance at a man who was no different than an incompetent martial artist, what does he even have? How can such a foolish man be worthy of you, Rhea Hauffer?
“After today, that guy will probably die. It was fortunate that I ran away fast!”
After that, she went upstairs to freshen herself up and entered the lobby of the Hauffer villa.
“Rhea, you’re back!”
“Congratulations, congratulations! Rhea, you really have a good eye to have your eyes on Azure of Thousand Miles Conglomerate. He’s the godson of the late Lord Lex and now the brother of the current president, Waltz. There’s no limit to how far you can go in the future.”
“Sister Rhea, when will you invite us to the ceremony?”
“By the way, Rhea, I heard that the Sky Tower project that Thousand Miles Conglomerate won has officially been launched. This project is the largest shipping project in Michigan in the past ten years. Since the relationship between you and Azure is almost a set deal, let us, Hauffer Group, also participate in the project It should be fine to get the role to supply building materials, right?”
“…”
Hearing the rushed well wishes and congratulations from her family members, Rhea was stunned.
She rolled her eyes and said dumbfoundedly, “Your news is too dated. Don’t you know that Thousand Miles has offended people who shouldn’t be offended and that they’ve now most likely been cut off?
“That was news that I got while I was in California, and now, they’re probably all gone by now!”
“That idiot, Azure, he didn’t listen to me. I already dumped him a long time ago. People like him will have no chance to be outstanding. They have too little knowledge and are too stupid. They don’t have a great future, and it’s easy to give trouble to me. This kind of person, I will never want them!”
“Now, he probably has already become a prisoner or killed by people from Department Six! He reaped what he sowed, what an idiot!”
The moment Rhea finished speaking, a proud and arrogant expression appeared on her face. However, she found that the people from her family were looking at her in shock.
Rhea smiled and said, “Why are you guys looking at me like that? Do you admire the fact thatI chose to withdraw at the most critical moment? Otherwise, I would have also been dragged in.”
Jack Hauffer said, “Rhea, is that true? You’ve dumped Azure?”
“That’s right, Grandpa. I’m great, right?”
As a result…
Slap!
Jack raised his hand, sending her a slap on her face without warning. “You’re calling others idiot when you’re the real idiot! I thought you were a slick and crafty person, and I’ve just realized that you’re an idiot that cannot be cured.”
Rhea was dazed from the slap.
“Grandpa, why the heck did you hit me? What have I done wrong?” Rhea held her face, tears rolling from her eyes, and her face full of grief.
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 1492
“Wrong, wrong, you’re all wrong!” Jack Hauffer stomped his feet over and over again in anger.
At this moment, Rhea’s father said, “Rhea, your information is too outdated. The Thousand Miles Conglomerate has not been destroyed. They have made a big comeback from the tough spot they were in. The officials have come out personally to clarify it, and all the companies under Thousand Miles have gone back to normal.”
“Not only that, in the Southern California Business Associations list of priorities, Thousand Miles Conglomerate was ranked first.”
When Rhea heard the news, she freaked out, and it felt like her entire person was about to explode.
“How was that possible?!”
“How could they have turned around the situation? It looked like it was already a dead end!”
“Department Six… Were the people from Department Six all fools? I heard gunshots from within Thousand Miles with my ears. There were a lot of soldiers with real guns and live ammunition occupying the Thousand Miles building. Were they all just acting?”
Rhea was an extremely arrogant and proud person. She would never be willing to admit her failure.
In the end, an old man walked in at this moment. This person was the chief steward of the Hauffer family, and he was a competent person. He hurried in and spoke to Jack, “Brother, I just got the news. The one who really holds power in Thousand Miles is not Waltz, but someone called Alex Rockefeller.”
Rhea immediately shouted, “I know, that man is Waltz’s man. It’s normal for Waltz to listen to his words usually, and he has good medical skills and is indeed somewhat capable. Still, compared to the powerful institution that is Department Six, he has nothing.”
The chief steward shook his head. “Miss Rhea, this Alex is not some random commoner. Do you recall who killed Easton and Viole Zimmer?”
Everyone present was taken aback. Everything had been going fine. Why did he suddenly bring up those people out of nowhere?
It was a taboo topic in Michigan.
The three parties at that time had already been severely warned. No one dared to breathe a single word about them.
However, there was no such thing as an impenetrable wall in this world. Even if there was, it was impossible to guard against the wind, which meant that there was nothing like an absolute secret.
There were still some big shots in Michigan who knew about the matter with Alex.
Governor Zimmer was still considered to be a noble, and Phoebe Larsen’s bodyguard had killed his son and daughter. Misfortune had befallen the Zimmer family, but the bodyguard was still safe and sound. There were many versions of speculation circulating outside, but it was apparent that the bodyguard’s identity was someone prominent.
“That bodyguard is Alex Rockefeller!”
“He’s the grandson of the Divine Constabulary’s president!”
“The Lord Commander chopped off the head of his grandnephew and sent it to the Rockefeller residence to make amends!”
As soon as the chief steward finished speaking, everyone sucked in their breath, surprised and shocked beyond words!
Jack slapped his head repeatedly. “It’s a sin, what a sin! A once in a lifetime opportunity, a chance for our Hauffer family to reach the highest peak in the country, and it has been wasted, just like that.”
Rhea fell to the ground on her butt, dumbfounded, regret rolling in her veins.
It was ridiculous that she had just been talking about how Azure was an idiot and that he would regret it sooner or later.
Now, in the end, the one who regretted it the most was her.
***
In the Assex family villa, the kitchen.
“Brother-in-law!”
“I’ll give you a hand. I’ll wash this tomato. I’ll do that too!”
“Ah, Brother-in-law, I bought you a new apron. I’ll bring it for you now!”
From the moment Alex walked through the doors, Beatrice had been bustling around him. Even going into the kitchen, she had been excited to help him. The point was that she also seemed to be very dressed up. The weather was getting colder now, but she still exposed her two long legs with a skirt that was too short, only a dozen or so centimeters long. When Alex bent down a little to wash the vegetables, he could practically see what color her underwear was.
This enthusiasm made Alex a little afraid.
At this time, Dorothy came in from outside, and when she saw Alex, she said indifferently, “Alex, so you still remember I exist? I thought that you treated me like I’m transparent”
Alex turned his head to look and caught sight of Dorothy, who only looked more beautiful since the last time he saw her. Just as he was about to talk, a golden light flashed in his eyes unexpectedly, and he was surprised.
He could see that his wife was surging with spiritual energy, and he found that her self-cultivation was no weaker than his own.
What in the world was going on?
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 1493
Alex was stunned.
‘What was going on? Was it an illusion?’
He blinked. ‘Wait, how come it was gone now?’
‘No, no. Something’s not right!’
‘It’s the eyes. There was a golden light just now. That feeling was… Bizarre! It’s… The soul energy has been shattered by the Chaos Bead when the great monk, Revealer, turned into a golden light and entered my body. So, what in the world is this?’
In the next moment, he suddenly had a clear understanding.
It was the blessing and insightfulness of the Divine Eye. It could see through illusions and see through anything obstructing his view.
‘F*ck, will there be any other side effects? Could it be that the two souls of the monk didn’t really disappear? It won’t let me see through the entire mortal world, right?’
When Alex thought about it this way, and when he could finally almost control this Buddhist secret technique, he looked at Dorothy once again, and it became even clearer…
Core Formation!
‘Oh my god!’
His wife, Dorothy Assex, had reached the rank of Core Formation.
However, he hadn’t felt it at all before this. Wasn’t it impossible for her to cultivate? Wasn’t she unable to exert even a bit of inner strength? What was going on?
How did she suddenly surpass him and reached the rank of Core Formation?!
From Alex’s experience with the martial artists and fighters he had come across, there were similarities in the early stages between martial arts and cultivation.
His current level now was the pinnacle of the rank in Divine Transcendence, and his strength was comparable to that of a peak Grandmaster. If you added in the various additional techniques he had, it was completely different. He could easily kill a Grandmaster at his peak almost instantly. And for those in the rank of Innate Martial Honor, their strength would be equivalent to those in the rank of Core Formation.
For example, Geronimo at his level right now could fight against a Core Formation.
This meant that Dorothy was equivalent to an Innate Martial Honor master right now.
However, cultivation was still above martial arts by a big gap, as countless external aids could be used, such as spiritual weapons, spells, talismans, formations, among others. Everyone was bare-handed, which might even seem like they were fooling around. Still, in reality, if a cultivator was compared to a martial artist, it was like comparing a grown adult holding a gunagainst an adult who was barehanded.
“Brother-in-law, Brother-in-law, what’s wrong? What’s got you dumbfounded?”
Beatrice had noticed Alex’s strange behavior and had quickly nudged him. The fish in the pan was about to be burnt. “You’ve just not seen each other for a short while, and you’ve been fascinated by my sister’s beauty?”
Though that was what she said in her mouth, her heart felt extremely sour.
Beatrice had deliberately dressed up like this and even created chances for Alex to admire her. For example, she had purposely lowered her neckline and deliberately stuck out her butt. She even helped him put on the apron, pushing her body against him lightly. If it were anyone else, they’d have happily taken the chance and probably wouldn’t be able to control their urges. However, it seemed like Alex wasn’t affected at all, which discouraged Beatrice.
There was a thought that maybe he couldn’t get it up in the first place.
Yet, now, as soon as her sister had appeared, he seemed firmly attracted to her like a magnet, and his eyes wouldn’t even move an inch from her.
‘Sigh!’ Beatrice sighed inwardly. ‘In his eyes, there only is Sister! He doesn’t see or treat me as a woman at all!’
She was a little discouraged, but she also knew that trying to seduce Alex using her beauty was an impossible task, and there was a part of her that already wanted to give up.
“Dorothy, you…”
There were a lot of questions Alex wanted to ask, but he didn’t know how to phrase them.
Finally, Dorothy said, “You can continue cooking first. Once you’re done, come to my room. I have something to tell you.”
“Okay!”
Alex had no mood to continue cooking after that.
He cooked a few dishes, finishing them up neatly before throwing the last one to Beatrice to handle. “The last one is beetroot soup. I’ll leave it to you to try. Just follow what I told you to do, and control the heat! 100 points! As long as you do a passable job, I’ll reward you.”
Beatrice’s eyes lit up. “Really? What’s the reward?”
Alex replied, “You’ll know when the time comes. It won’t disappoint you.”
“Okay, Brother-in-law. I’ll do my best.”
Beatrice raised her hand to give him a high five.
Alex was stunned, then he reached out to return that high live.
This feeling wasn’t too bad. It was just like what life should be for a pair of a brother and sister-in-law.
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 1494
When Alex arrived at Dorothy’s room, she was leaning on the bed, looking at some news on her phone. A calm and indifferent expression was on her face, no different than usual.
However, when Alex looked at her, he had a brand new feeling in his chest. It was familiar, yet at the same time not.
“My wife!” Alex walked over and sat down beside her. He had thought the feeling of unfamiliarity would grow. However, Dorothy put down her phone and embraced him gently. “Has something happened to Mom?”
“Huh?”
Alex was stunned. “Who? What happened to your mother?”
Dorothy rolled her eyes. “I meant your mother! It can’t be that you’re trying to hide it from me, right?”
Alex was astonished. “How did you know?”
“If even Sharpay knows about it, why can’t I? In your mind, am I no different than an outsider, as your wife?”
“Of course not! I just… I’m afraid that you would worry!”
“Go ahead, what’s wrong with Mom? Let me see if I can help?”
Alex looked at her. Though he was curious how he had suddenly reached the rank of Core Formation, the fact that she didn’t say anything about it proved that she was unwilling to talk about it. Asking her was just going to make her feel troubled, so he could only nod and say, “I came here today to tell you about this! My mother has gotten into a vegetative state again, and the situation is worse than half a year ago! I can confidently say now that there were many things hidden behind the car accident last October. Back then, my mother already had a problem. Her soul is missing components, which have been substituted using the Soul Substitute Lotus Seeds.”
“So, you can’t wait now to go down into Caesar’s tomb to find new Soul Substitute Lotus Seeds?”
Alex looked at her. “Dorothy, you… Are you hiding something from me? When I saw you today, you’re very different from before. You…”
Dorothy smiled. “I just knew you would be able to tell.”
“So, you’re a Core Formation master now?” Alex said. “You… Did you have some fortuitous meeting?”
Dorothy shook her head. Then, she picked up her phone and dialed a number.
Ring, ring, ring!
Alex’s phone rang.
He pulled out his phone and looked at the screen. It was Aunt Rockefeller’s number!
“Huh?!” Alex was taken aback for a while. He looked at Dorothy and picked up the call. “Aunt?”
Dorothy placed the phone to her ear, her gaze still locked with his, and said, “Hey, my nephew!”
Boom!
A roar echoed out in Alex’s head, his mind instantly in disarray.
“Y-You… It’s you? You’re Aunt Rockefeller?!”
“Yeah! Surprised? Or are you disappointed? The Aunt Shooriyojou in your mind is no more, and she has become a faded old woman whom you got tired of seeing?”
Alex was stunned for along while before he lurched forward to hug her tightly and said, “Of course not. How could I get tired of you? You’re the most important woman in my life, and I didn’t expect that it would be you. How could you think of something like this to tease me?”
“I just wanted to tease you. Who asked you to say that we’re not from the same world? And now, can you still say that?” Dorothy said.
Alex blinked, then said, “I still have some trouble believing this. Why don’t you change into Aunt Rockefeller and show me?”
“How is that even difficult?”
Dorothy performed the Transformation technique and quickly revealed the appearance of the devastatingly beautiful Aunt Rockefeller.
“How is it? Is your aunt good-looking enough?”
Even her voice had changed.
In the next second, Alex kissed her.
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 1495
If it was said that there was some sense of estrangement between Alex and Dorothy before this, it was only because too many things had happened during this time, and they had faced events and matters that ordinary people couldn’t cope with.
Impartial elements and factors had led to less contact between himself and Dorothy. So, when it was revealed that Dorothy was, in fact, Aunt Rockefeller, the sense of that slight estrangement disappeared instantly.
‘It was you!’
‘It has been you all along!’
From the first time she had made her appearance in his life, up till the time she had saved Waltz in the Thousand Miles Conglomerate just that morning.
The knowledge of everything made excitement rush through Alex, his heart beating hard against his chest. What virtues and abilities did he have to have gained such an enamored woman?
He must have saved the entire universe from doom in his previous life, right?
At the same time, when he thought of what happened between him and Aunt Rockefeller, he let out a sigh. His face was flushed to the tips of his ears. He remembered that he once told her about his emotional troubles and had even complained about Dorothy, Claire, and her family. He never imagined that Aunt Rockefeller would turn out to be her in person.
“This… Was this your main purpose in disguising as another woman to get closer to me?”
‘No wonder you were so against Daya at that time. She was so angry, she almost wanted to throw up blood!’ That was what Alex thought to himself.
The kiss between Dorothy and Alex was extremely intense. Soon, they rolled onto the bed.
It was as though a fire had ignited in them, their reunion after a long absence was so much sweeter than being newlyweds. Absence really did make the heart grow fonder.
It quickly turned into a fierce battle, the atmosphere heating up fast. Alex immediately pressed her underneath him…
“Sister, Brother-in-law, it’s time to eat. I’ve made…”
Beatrice suddenly came upstairs.
The door wasn’t locked, and she opened the door and came in in one fell swoop.
Then, the words that followed slowly trailed off, and Beatrice couldn’t even hear her own words anymore…
However, her eyes were wide and round, and she could see everything clearly.
Dorothy waved her hand in the midst of her being occupied.
Beatrice felt herself moved by a strange force, spinning through the air and falling outside the door. The room door closed with a soft bang, and a ‘click’ was heard soon after. The door had been automatically locked.
Beatrice wasn’t injured, as Dorothy would naturally not hurt her. The strength she had used was as soft as cotton. At most, only her butt felt some ache from the fall. However, it was a different matter for how she was feeling on the inside. Beatrice was feeling shocked, and her heart was beating loudly in her ears. She felt like she couldn’t breathe from the atmosphere she had just been in.
It seemed like her brother-in-law wasn’t wearing a shred of cloth earlier…
“Later. When it’s night. It’s time to eat now. My mom will come in later at this rate!” Dorothy held down Alex’s eager and naughty hands.
“We’ll go to a hotel at night?” Alex looked at Aunt Rockefeller’s face, the feeling of confusion still present.
“If we stay at home, why would we go to a hotel?”
“Here? Are you sure it’s fine?”
“Get down!”
Dorothy kicked Alex off the bed. Her strength was incredible. If it weren’t for Alex’s naturally thicker skin, as well as the spiritual protection he had, he would have probably been kicked through the walls of the room.
“My wife, can you tell me now the reason why you suddenly became Aunt Rockefeller?” Alex asked after getting dressed.
“If I tell you that I’m no longer the Dorothy in the past, what would you do?” Dorothy asked as she looked at him.
This sentence suddenly made Alex feel like his entire world had crashed down. All the muscles in his body were rigid and stiff.
Alex stared at Dorothy, his face filled with fear and terror.
If she wasn’t Dorothy any longer, then who had taken over her body? Was there someone else’s soul in her body?
Then, that would be the same situation as Phoebe right now. So, the real Dorothy was dead?
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 1496
“W-Who are you?”
Dorothy waved her hand. “Don’t worry. I’m still me. Dorothy Assex.”
“Then, what did you mean by what you said earlier?” Alex asked furthermore.
Dorothy shot back, “Do you know about the cycle of rebirth and reincarnation?”
Alex’s expression changed. He had inherited the Ultimate Book of Medicine and received a lot of knowledge on cultivation. This was especially true when he received the soul fragments of the monk, Revealer, where he also received a lot of information about Buddhism cultivation. Buddhism emphasized a lot on the cycle of reincarnation. There were also legends about how Buddhism also had a kind of holy artifact called Six Eternities which could control the true essence of reincarnation.
Daya also mentioned the reincarnation pool many times in her dreams, saying that she had jumped from the pool in her previous life.
Didn’t it sound absurd? Like some sort of fairy-tale?
However, it did indeed exist, but it was just not known to the people in the world.
“You mean you reincarnated from your previous life into Dorothy Assex? Then, who were you in your previous life?”
“I don’t know either.” Dorothy shook her head. “I just awakened the inheritance in my soul. As to who I was in my previous life, what I did, everything is vague. Anyway, I should have been a woman.”
“It’s okay if you don’t know,” Alex said. “It saves you a lot of worry and headache.”
Then, Dorothy spoke about the time she had awakened the inheritance in her soul. It was the day after the two had gone to apply for divorce, after the first time they had intercourse. With a boom, she had become the current Dorothy.
Alex wasn’t sure whether he should be proud or sad. sad.
***
Originally, Alex was still defensive about Aunt Rockefeller’s identity. However, now that he knew Dorothy had been the person pretending to be Aunt Rockefeller, the many doubts and vigilance he had put up in his heart melted away completely.
Some of the information that he hadn’t told Aunt Rockefeller before, he could new display it all openly.
Initially, Alex had planned to invite Aunt Rockefeller to go into the tomb together. Otherwise, he wouldn’tbe able to have enough confidence to do what he needed to do. However, now that he knew she was, in fact, Dorothy, he couldn’t help but think about not wanting her to accompany him into danger.
After knowing Alex’s thoughts, Dorothy sneered. “Am I some fragile glass, in your opinion? So you’re saying in the future, those who accompany you through life and death will never be the closest person to you? It can only be men and women who are outsiders? What kind of sh*t logic is that?
“Besides, if I want to head into the tomb, you can’t stop me with just the rank of Divine Transcendence.
“But, I will still use the identity of Aunt Rockefeller to go.”
Using a false identity was also very beneficial. No one knew that she was Dorothy, so naturally, it would be much safer. No one would come after Claire and Beatrice, as compared to the people in Alex’s family who were all trained, Claire and Beatrice were weak.
On the other hand, it would make some people feel jealous of a mysterious aunt behind Alex.
It wasn’t scary to be hostile toward Alex alone, but what about the countless super masters from Alex’s family?
Wouldn’t one be afraid?
That was how Zachary Xavier had been intimidated by Aunt Rockefeller in the beginning.
“Remember, Aunt Rockefeller’s identity is only known to you, and you alone. No one else can know. Otherwise, I won’t spare you!”
While eating dinner, Alex once again got to experience what they meant by the gentle and kindness of a mother-in-law. He almost felt like melting under Claire’s enthusiastic care and concern.
Only Dorothy’s expression was unnatural throughout the meal. He wasn’t sure what was on her mind, but every time she looked at him, her face would flush, and her heartbeat quickened to the point that it felt like she had taken some drug that excited her!
That night, Alex stayed in the Assex residence. They stayed entangled the entire night, going as fast as they could and living life to the fullest.
When they got up the next day, Alex and Dorothy were in good spirits, but Claire and Beatrice were sluggish compared to them. They had dark circles under their eyes, as though they had not slept the entire night.
“Mom, Beatrice, what happened to the two of you? Did you stay awake and watch TV all night?” Dorothy asked, confused.
Claire yawned. “No, it’s nothing.”
Beatrice looked reluctant to say anything but ended up saying, “I didn’t watch TV all night, but I heard a pig crying the entire night.”
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 1497
“A pig? Where did pig cries come from?”
Dorothy looked at Claire, then at Beatrice, and she suddenly understood what Beatrice was talking about. Then, she kicked Alex’s leg hard.
It was all his fault!
This pig had been so excited last night, especially when she changed her appearance to take on the appearance of Aunt Rockefeller. It was like he had taken a drug that sent him into euphoria, what a pervert! It was like she had become another woman.
Men really were sentimental creatures who think with the lower part of their bodies.
“Beatrice, you should pay more attention to your studies. In the first midyear exams, you had one test with just 90 points. Don’t play too much. Your pocket money this semester will be halved.”
Beatrice shrugged, not paying attention to her sister. As she was now a first-level agent of Lush Cosmetics, she had recruited a large group of lower-level agents in school and had made a lot of money. She had developed into a sort of big shot business mistress at school.
She had just bought a BMW with her own money a few days ago, so she wouldn’t miss any pocket money from her sister.
She didn’t expect Dorothy would add on further, “Hubby, you have to revoke Beatrice’s first-level agent authority immediately. The money paid to her should also be replaced with my account name and number. From now on, all the lower-level agents under her will be credited into my account ”
Before Alex could reply, Beatrice yelled, “Sister, that’s daylight robbery! How can you do that? That is money that I earned and the agent team thatI have worked so hard to build up! How can you do this? I disagree!”
“Your appeal has been rejected. Your main focus now should be on studying, not earnng money.”
“Ahhhh! I’m going nuts! No, what right do you have?!”
Dorothy pointed at Alex. “He has it, and he listens to me.”
“Brother-in-law, Brother-in-law!”
Beatrice immediately hugged Alex’s arm and shook. Even her tears were about to fall from her eyes. “I’m begging you. Don’t take my account away. Tell me. I’ll do whatever it takes?!”
Alex could feel the girl’s chest on his arm as she rubbed at him.
“Beatrice, which class did you score 90 points in last semester?”
“English for computer science.”
“What was the total score?”
“One hundred.”
Alex glanced at Dorothy and said, “That’s decent. University isn’t an exam-orientated education, and Beatrice is already good, considering she managed to build a business team during her university days! I support you, and I won’t revoke the authority on your account.”
“Oh, thank you, Brother-in-law! You’re the best!” Beatrice was so overwhelmed with joy. She kissed Alex’s face.
Claire’s eyes widened as she watched the scene unfold in front of her.
Luckily, that kiss hadn’t been on his mouth!
Dorothy rolled her eyes and said to Alex, “You’re a scum!”
Beatrice said, “Sister, don’t call yourself that!”
Claire looked at her youngest daughter, then to Alex. Then, she seemed to think that she was overthinking, and she just enjoyed the happy, harmonious family atmosphere right now.
“Mom, Dorothy and I are going on a trip,” Alex said to Claire. “Due to the special circumstance at the time of the wedding, we didn’t arrange for a honeymoon or the like. We’ll be making up for time on this trip!”
This was the excuse the two of them had found and agreed on.
Claire smiled and said, “Okay, where are you planning to go?”
“Japan!”
“Japan? I want to see the cherry blossoms in Japan too. Can you take me along?” Beatrice said.
Claire immediately shot her a look. “Your sister and brother-in-law are going on a honeymoon. Why would you want to go along with them? Be a gigantic third wheel?” After a pause, she said, “Dorothy, Alex, when do you plan on getting your marriage certificate again?”
Dorothy’s expression didn’t change as she replied, “We’ll find a good date, like 11th of November or something. What does it matter? Maybe when we register, it will be the day I get pregnant.”
“Oh, that would be wonderful!”
Alex looked at Dorothy, a little surprised. He had never thought about her getting pregnant.
***
However, at the same time, in a secret realm somewhere in the country.
“Awoooo!”
Countless hungry wolves let out long howls and launched an attack at a beautiful figure under a random tree.
The beautiful shadow of a figure’s clothes was stained red with blood, the blood of both hers and the wolves. If Alex were present, his heart would be broken because the woman was none other than Daya.
She covered her belly with one hand, while the other held a long knife.
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 1498
“Baby, I’ll definitely let you see your father safely! If he knew you existed in this world, he will surely be surprised!”
Daya gently stroked her belly, which had a slight bulge at this time. She was pregnant. Counting the days, it was almost her third month.
After entering the Stoermer family’s secret realm, she had confirmed she was pregnant. However, after she had entered, there was no way to leave this place, and it had been two years since. In addition, there had been some problems in the realm, which made it more dangerous than usual.
“Daya, be careful!”
“Sister, you have to live. You can’t die!”
On the tree, there were two others.
It was an old lady and a girl who looked to be eleven or twelve years old. They were both from the Stoermer family, but they were injured and could no longer fight.
“Okay!”
Daya’s eyes were cold, looking at the wolves which were edging closer to them.
“Kill!”
Whoosh!
Her mental power was like a raging ocean, bursting out in big waves.
She carried a long knife in her hand, turning into a war goddess as she rushed toward the wolves. She left an afterimage after every slash as she moved, and each stroke brought out streaks of wolf blood.
Daya was blood-soaked, and she fought hard!
Awakened!
That was right, Daya had taken only two months to awaken her bloodline!
However, she was here, where she consistently faced threats of life and death.
***
Six in the evening, at Prosperous Hotel, Room 1208. It was the place that Susan Hunter had gathered everyone to meet Alex.
And now, the group of people were once again gathered here.
“Kenneth, how is your wife? Is her cancer cured now?” Darven asked Kenneth.
“Yes, she’s been cured! Young Master Alex really is a peerless genius doctor!” Kenneth said. “Not only did he cure my wife’s cancer, but he also made her younger by five years.”
In that instant, many people present were shocked.
“She’s really cured?!”
“Oh my god, cancer that has reached an advanced stage can also be cured? This Young Master Alex is even more awesome than his father, William!”
“What kind of concept is that, making her five years younger? That’s just too amazing!”
Then, someone asked the long-legged beauty, Freya. “Miss Freya, your brain’s… Ah, no. The problem you had after falling into the water when you were a child has also been cured, right?”
There was no doubt about this matter at all.
Susan smiled. “If Alex hadn’t cured Miss Freya, she wouldn’t even be here today. I think she looks very well today, and her aura is stronger than before. I think you’ve made a breakthrough, haven’t you? Congratulations, congratulations!”
Freya nodded. “I have indeed made a breakthrough. Alex’s medical skills are indeed unique.”
Kenneth laughed and said, “Miss Freya, I heard that in the Exorcist Dragons, you have to get married when you reach the age of 27. Otherwise, you can only remain an old aunt for life if you miss that age! How old are you this year, Miss Freya? I think Young Master Alex is the right person and is more than a good match for you as a descendent of the Exorcist Dragons, right?”
As soon as he said this, everyone looked at Freya.
Freya’s heart thumped in her chest, suddenly thinking of her mother’s words. Her father had read her fortune before this, saying that she would meet her destined partner that would help her break through the bottleneck she had experienced.
‘Then, wouldn’t that mean it was Alex?’
“Hmph!”
“To be a son-in-law of the Exorcist Dragons is very demanding. Young Master Alex’s medical skills may be good, but he isn’t suited to be my husband with just that.”
In her mind, she thought, ‘That little thief, he couldn’t catch my eyes even if he tried!’
At this point, Alex walked in.
Two other people followed him in. One was Dorothy, who had used the Transformation technique to look like Aunt Rockefeller, and the other was Quincy Zoppins, otherwise known as Clown.
Freya’s gaze changed the moment she caught sight of Aunt Rockefeller.
What a beautiful woman!
Standing in front of such a woman, Freya suddenly felt ashamed and small.
‘Who is she?’
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 1499
“Senior!”
When Quincy saw Zayne York, he rushed into the room as he shouted, throwing his arms around Zayne. His gaze and expression were as though he had thrown himself at his father.
Also, tears were leaking from his eyes. How cruel had Quincy been?
There had been such a big battle when he had kidnapped Daya. Not only did he hire foreign killers, but he had also used helicopters and sea cruise ships to hoist the car Daya was in onto the cruise ship. He had been extremely arrogant.
And now, he was crying like a child.
“Senior, you can’t go into Caesar‘s tomb. It’s a cannibalistic place! What if something goes wrong?”
“I barely escaped with my life the last time. Do I have to go through it again?”
Zayne waved his hand. “I’ve already decided. Also, I’m the brightest and the best of the Drifters, as well as their leader. How can I just go back on my word? But, you don’t have to go in. You can stay outside.”
Quincy shook his head. “How can I not go? If you go, of course, I will go. We’re brothers, one from Drifters and one from Abstracts. Together we will live, and divided, we will fall. I will never leave you behind.”
Zayne pointed at Susan. “We already have an officer from Abstracts.”
“Her?” Quincy snorted. “What does she amount to? The last time we went into the tomb, if it weren’t for William’s protection, she would have died many times over. Those little Abstract skills she has is nothing worth looking at.”
Susan didn’t feel any affectionate feelings toward Quincy. Not only did he have an aggressive appearance, but even his words were also unpleasant to listen to.
She sneered. “What’s wrong with the little skills I have? Isn’t it better than your half baked fake strength you have? You can’t even speak properly of Caesar’s tomb, despite being one of the few who survived. People like you will only be cannon fodder when we enter the tomb.”
The two of them continued to have a go at each other.
Dorothy couldn’t stand it anymore. She frowned and said to Alex, “Who are all these people? A bunch of mobs. They don’t even have much ability, and they’re even turning on each other before we go down into the tomb. What’s the point of bringing them?”
With those words, everyone present was offended.
However, Dorothy was filled with confidence.
She was a Core Fonnation master. No one here would be able to match up to her.
An ordinary woman like Susan Hunter, who had no cultivation base or skills, naturally was not even significant in Dorothy’s eyes.
Susan was William’s woman, and she took herself to be Alex’s mother, who had a higher status. She frowned and asked, “Alex, who is this with such a boastful tone?”
Alex replied, “She’s my aunt.”
“What?” Susan’s mouth was open wide, her jaw slack.
Alex’s aunt, didn’t that mean she was William’s sister? Looking at how young she was, she must be William’s younger sister.
Then, that would mean that she was Susan’s sister-in-law.
Susan’s expression changed immediately. Since she was Susan’s sister-in-law, didn’t that mean she had to get into the woman’s good graces?
“Hehe, so it turns out to be Brother William’s sister. I… I’m…”
Before she could say anything else, Dorothy said, “She’s the woman that your father had on the side?”
“Uh… Why do you have to say that?” Alex hurriedly diverted the topic, getting on the main topic at hand. “The Sky Tower project has been launched, and I’ve gotten the entrance of the tomb all surrounded up to one kilometer around it. Time is of the essence, and tonight at twelve, we’ll be heading in.”
“What? So soon?!” Susan was astonished.
“Yes, I’m in a hurry,” Alex said. “Susan, I want to ask you something. The last time you guys went down to the tomb, did you see any black lotuses?”
“Black lotuses? Is there such a color on lotuses?” Susan’s face was blank.
Alex’s heart sank.
Could it be that there wasn’t any there?
His father didn’t manage to get it back then?
Freya spoke up at this moment. “You’re talking about the Black Soul Lotus Seed?”
Alex’s eyes brightened. “Yes, that’s right. It’s called the Black Soul Lotus Seed, do you know about it?”
Freya nodded. “You can indeed find them in Caesar’s tomb. I’ve seen it before. Your father once picked two of them, and it’s called Soul Substitute Lotus Seed.”
Alex was suddenly excited.
It really was true.
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 1500
That being the case, there must still be other Soul Substitute Lotus Seeds in the tomb.
“What is this Soul Substitute Lotus Seed?” Susan said. “Why haven’t I heard of it before?”
Freya said, “You were unconscious at that time.”
“Uh..?”
Susan was immediately rendered speechless.
After that, several people in the room discussed in detail about the time they had gone down into the tomb. On those bases, they also discussed the necessary and corresponding strategies they would need.
When it was ten in the evening, Alex spent a significant sum of money and called for the chef in the hotel to work overtime to create an extremely lavish meal for them.
“After this meal, we’ll set off! Everyone, I, Alex Rockefeller, hereby declare that every one of you who follow me into the tomb will receive a bonus of 100 million. In the unfortunate event, if anyone fails to come out, the bonus will be given to your family members.”
In fact, it wasn’t like anyone was short of money here. This hundred million could only be said to be an extra reward.
Everyone present stuffed themselves with food, and the atmosphere was bright and warm.
Kenneth couldn’t help but continue to talk about the topic previously and pointed at Freya as he said, “Young Master Alex, we were just talking about the descendants of Exorcist Dragons. Miss Freya is beautiful with her long legs, and she has great capabilities. It’s a good match for Young Master Alex as a wife. But, it seems like the threshold of Exorcist Dragons are too high, and she looks down on you.”
Alex didn’t want to talk about this topic in front of Dorothy and immediately waved his hand. “You can’t make that kind of joke so casually. It will affect Miss Freya’s reputation. Also, I’m already married.”
“What? You’re married?! ” Kenneth was stunned.
“Yes, I love my wife very much,” Alex said, looking at Dorothy.
Freya’s heart raced in her chest for no apparent reason. Due to her father’s divination, it. had unconsciously created a ripple in her heart.
Although she had been confident that she wouldn’t fall for a little thief and pervert like Alex, and he would never become a son-in-law of Exorcist Dragons, she felt an inexplicably uncomfortable feeling to hear the man that her father said was her destined partner was married.
It was one thing for Freya not to like him, but how could he turn out to already be married?!
Her father’s divination really was unreliable!
***
It was 11.40 PM when a group of people arrived at the site of the Sky Tower project. In the past few days, Thousand Miles Conglomerate had been working overtime here. A high wall had been built around the site, and it was three meters high. There were also electrical fences, anti-climbing fences, infrared monitoring, and so on.
The group of people arrived in four cars.
When they arrived at the iron gate that served as the entrance, Alex made a call. Then, someone slowly opened the iron gate, slowly and silently.
The one who opened the door was Azure Storm from Thousand Miles Conglomerate.
“Brother Alex!”
The cars rolled in, and the heavy iron door was closed once again. Azure got into an electric car and led the way in front.
Soon, they arrived near a base. There was even a large shack, and the entrance to Caesar’s tomb was in this shack.
This way, even if someone were to use drones to investigate this area, they wouldn’t be able to see what the heck was going on here.
As for the projects around the area, it was still running non-stop.
They got out of the car, and several of them started taking inventory of their supplies and equipment.
Not only were there very advanced equipment prepared, but there were also even explosives and firearms.
At this moment, two beautiful women walked over.
“Senior!”
“Brother!”
The ones who came were Waltz and Maya.
Alex was stunned. “Why are you both here?”
“We want to go in with you! ” Waltz said.
