Ch. 1541..1550
Everyone was stunned. The joy of seeing the day again earlier was frozen all of a sudden, as if it were a jammed cartridge.
They saw the old man, who looked in his seventies or eighties, was dressed in a floral brocade clothing. Four younger men, who looked like bodyguards, stood behind him.
On the other hand, Azure and the others were quite tragic. A dozen people were kneeling on the ground while being tied to poles behind them that were stuck on the ground.
This was the hole where Susan and the others first escaped from. At that time, she put down the Broken Dragon Stone so that nobody could get in nor get out.
However, when Alex got the key and gained control of the tomb, the entire tomb’s mechanism was restarted and the position of the Broken Dragon Stone was reset as well.
“Who are you?” the frowned Alex asked in a cold tone.
“You don’t have to know who I am. You just have to give me the key to this tomb, and your subordinates will be safe and sound.” said the elderly with a smile. He even took a sip of tea after finished speaking.
Alex carefully looked at him three times and confirmed it three times as well.
This old man had spiritual energy on him. He was a cultivator but his strength was sparse and ordinary. He was only at the Spirit Transcendence stage.
How dare the old man come here and blackmail him with such strength?
“First, I don’t know what you want, and we haven’t seen it before.”
“Secondly, do you know the consequences of doing this? Tell me your background. Let’s see where your bravery comes from, okay?”
The old man fiercely slammed the tea cup in his hand. All the tea in the cup was shaken out. As he waved his hand, the tea was caught by him with some kind of cold power in the void. In the blink of an eye, the tea condensed into a one meter long ice sword.
He held the ice sword to Azure’s neck.
With a disdainful look, he said, “Look at my bravery, is it enough?”
Right after he said that, Maya suddenly waved her hand. With a swoosh, the ice sword in the old man’s hand turned into tea again.
In the next moment, all of it fell into Maya’s hand.
As she kept moving her finger, the water turned into a sword for a while and turned into a dagger for a while. In the end, it turned into a pile of faeces like shape and was directly thrown into the old man’s face by Maya. “This bit of bravery is not enough.”
The crowd went absolutely silent. The old man widened his eyes and had a shocked expression, as if he had seen a ghost.
“Impossible! How is this possible?”
“If you don’t tell me your origin and your patron, you’ll be dead!” said Alex expressionlessly. He just got out of the tomb and he was anxious to rush back to Alaska to use the Soul Substitute Lotus Seed on his mother, Brittany. Hence, he had no time to waste on someone like him.
As a whim struck the old man, he came back to his senses. Then, he abruptly reached out to grab Azure.
‘Ugh!’ Alex sighed in his mind.
In the next moment, the old man’s head fell off after a flash of blade. Since the old man was unwilling to say it, then he would not have to say it forever.
The remaining four bodyguards shivered when they saw that scene.
Alex was too strong and too quick.
If they were to know that they were called by the old man to face such an existence, they would not have come here no matter what.
Alex shook the Breaking Point Sword in his hand. The Breaking Point Sword from the Dragon Bane of Thirty-Six symbolized bravery and pressing forward with an indomitable will. Once the sword appeared, blood would be definitely seen, with an awe-inspiring dominance.
He held the sword and glanced at the four bodyguards.
In the next second, the four bodyguards could not handle the psychological pressure anymore and kneeled down with a thud. Not to mention them, the old man was much stronger than them, yet he was beheaded on the spot in such a short time.
Soon after, the ropes tying around Azure and the others were cut off, regaining their freedom.
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 1542
“Bro Alex, I’m sorry, I…”
Azure felt exceptionally embarrassed. Despite being the top person in California’s underworld, he was simply captured by several random nobodies in order to threaten Alex.
It had happened several times. The feeling of being unable to control his own life and death was really terrible.
“What happened?” Waltz asked.
Azure told her everything. In fact, he was still confused until now and did not know the old man’s origin. They suddenly charged in and captured them when Alex and the others went into the tomb at night. Afterwards, they had been kneeling down in this place for two days and two nights.
“It has been two days and two nights?” Waltz was shocked.
“It’s impossible! It should only be just one night at most. How could it be two days and two nights?”
“It really has been two days and two nights.”
The few of them were confused.
For instance, Susan Hunter and Kenneth Sunder wore a watch when they went into the tomb together. Judging from the time, they went down the tomb last night. After a night, the current time should be three o’clock in the afternoon on the next day. However, when they looked at Azure’s watch… Indeed, it was the third day.
After checking several people’s phones and watches, it proved that Azure and the others were not wrong but Susan and the others were the ones who got it wrong.
Dorothy said, “There’s no need to be so surprised. The place that we’ve been probably just has a different flow of time from the outside. Remember when we went into a watery door made of force field underneath the cliff? We’ve only been inside for not long, yet two days have passed in the world outside. This is the difference in the flow of time.”
Azure’s brain could no longer process it.
‘Could there even be a difference in the flow rate of time?’
Dorothy did not explain further because it involved the things related to the rules of Heaven and Earth. Even if she did, they would not understand it either.
“Azure, I’ll leave these few people to you! I have something that I need to attend to immediately!”
“Alright!”
Azure was known as the top person in California’s underworld. Naturally, he had his rules of conduct. He immediately pulled out someone else’s dagger and stabbed all of the four bodyguards’ energy cores.
***
Alex quickly contacted his grandfather, Geronimo Melvis.
After going into the tomb, Geronimo had lost contact with them for two days and two nights, so he was very worried. He felt relieved when he received the call. When he heard Alex had gotten the Soul Substitute Lotus Seed back, he immediately said, “That’s great! I’ll arrange the plane to take off in Michigan immediately. Grandpa will arrange a reception banquet for you! By then, you’ll be meeting everyone important in the Melvis family.”
Alex smiled, “Sure!”
After the call ended, Alex said to Dorothy, “My grandpa has arranged a plane in Michigan and I’ll have to go to Alaska immediately. Are you coming with me?”
Dorothy shook her head. “I’m not going. I’m afraid the five guys on the island might have turned the sky over without my supervision for the past few days. I’ll have to go over and see them.”
When Alex looked at Aunt Rockefeller’s face, only then did he remember that all Four Great Princesses of Missouri’s Coleman were in her hands now. In addition to Zella Yaeger, he did not know how they had been.
Dorothy smiled secretively. “You’ll find out by then! Each of them is a stunning beauty. How about having them as your harem?”
Alex said, “When you disguised as Aunt Rockefeller at first and took them away from me, were you afraid that I might do something to them?”
Dorothy let out two grunts and remained silent.
Other than that, the Sky Tower project was signed by the Michigan government. Even if the Caesar’s Tomb was temporarily unused, the project had to continue. Hence, Waltz had to stay and take charge of the overall situation.
Since Brittany was unconscious, someone had to be in charge of Lush Cosmetics, this person was none other than Maya.
In the end, Alex could only leave on his own.
When Alex was about to drive to the airport, Freya Mayer pulled open the car door and jumped in. She anxiously said, “Did you just forget about me?”
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 1543
“What did I forget about you?”
Alex was stunned for a moment. Indeed, he seemed to have forgotten something but he could not recall it in that instant.
Freya reminded him. “The pill of seven poisons!”
Only then did Alex suddenly realize. “Right, right! I’ve almost forgotten about you and the pill of seven poisons from the Witch Cult! But, this poison it’s a bit challenging, and I can’t help you remove it right now.”
Freya’s expression froze when she heard that.
Alex had helped her to cure her chronic brain disease last time. Now she had a breakthrough in her cultivation and her body was also developing for the better. All of this was granted by Alex. Hence, she truly believed Alex’s words in the tomb that he would definitely cure the poison in her.
But now, he actually said that he could not do so!
“You can’t say that you can’t do it! My life is in your hands now, and I can only depend on you. Otherwise, who else is going to remove the poison in me?” Freya grabbed Alex’s arm. “Trevon Lambert was after you and I was just working for you, right? You’ve to be responsible for me until the end!”
Alex said, “Don’t be nervous. I said, I can’t do it right now and it’s just temporary. The antidote requires certain ingredients but I don’t have them with me right now. Furthermore, the medicinal herbs are a bit difficult to find, so you’ll need to be patient.”
“I have patience but I’m losing my life soon… According to real time, I only have four more days to live.”
Alex took out a bottle of pills from his bag. “This is a drug that can suppress the attacks of the poison. Take one whenever you have an onset of the poison, This should be able to suppress it. Take one again after seven days! There are ten pills in this bottle and it’s enough for you to survive another two months. I’ll send you the antidote within these two months.”
“Should be?”
Freya frowned violently. “You’re so unsure, who am I supposed to look for if something goes wrong?”
Afterwards, she said, “No way. From now on, I’ll go wherever you go and I’m not going anywhere else.”
Alex was speechless.
“I’m going to Alaska. Are you going too?”
“It just happens that I also want to visit Alaska. I could go and visit the Oscar Anderson House and the Russian Orthodox Church. Anyways, I’m wandering around alone and nobody supplies me with food.”
“…”
Just like that, Freya followed Alex to Alaska.
***
On the plane, Freya was like a curious child with ten thousands of questions. She kept asking Alex weird questions all the way. She still had many things in Caesar’s tomb that she could not understand.
Alex wanted to tape her mouth so badly.
“Aren’t you tired?”
“I’m dead tired right now and I want to sleep for a while!”
“Shut up starting from now. Otherwise, I won’t cure you!”
In the end, he could only threaten the woman’s mouth with her life.
To Alex’s surprise, she started gossiping about Alex’s personal life again. For instance, what was his relationship with Aunt Rockefeller? Would Waltz Fleur and Aunt Rockefeller fight privately..?
Two hours later, they finally reached the entrance of the Melvises’ residence in Alaska. Unexpectedly, they were stopped just when they were about to go in.
A young man reached out his arms. “Stand there. Are you Alex Rockefeller? Who said that you could enter? Don’t you know your status?”
The young man seemed cold and arrogant. There was a hidden anger flowing in his eyes.
Alex took an indifferent glance but his eyes landed on the two women behind him… Not only did these two women wear similar clothes, but even their features and makeup looked the same. When they were standing together, they looked as if someone was looking in a mirror.
Meanwhile, Freya glanced at the young man without any expression on her face. She just said to Alex, “That’s weird. Why can’t you go into your own house?”
The young man grunted. “Who said that this is his house? This belonged to the Melvis family and it has nothing to do with him at all.”
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 1544
Alex’s expression darkened. “Who are you? Do you have the final say in the Melvis family’s matters?”
The young man sneered. “So what if I do? Now I’m telling you that you are not allowed to enter. So, get the hell out of here now!”
Alex coldly said, “Tell me who your father is. Let’s see if he’s worthy of a slap from me, okay?”
The twins laughed and shouted.
“Cousin Justin, this guy wants to slap you!”
“Right. How arrogant. We don’t care how great this guy is in California, and we’re too lazy to bother with it. But since he’s at the Melvises’ residence in Alaska, he has to follow the rules of the Melvises. How can he be so lawless? Cousin Justin, you have to establish your authority. Otherwise, the Melvis family will be snatched away by him in the future, and it will change its last name to Rockefeller!”
Alex did not know who the twins were, but clearly they were the Melvises’ relatives. To his surprise, they were here stirring up the trouble, hoping for chaos to befall them.
It turned out that the young man was Soraya Melvis’ brother, Justin Melvis while the twins were Winry Swartz and Willow Swartz. They were Geronimo’s granddaughters.
The three people were descendants of Lexia Rogers.
Clearly, Justin had listened to the twins’ instigation. His expression immediately became fierce as he said, “You want to slap me? Do you even have such a capability? I don’t even have to report my name, and I could beat you until you call out to your parents. Do you believe it?”
Justin knew nothing about Alex.
Clearly, he did not hear from his family about Alex’s strength and terror. Otherwise, he would not have jumped out like this unless he was out of his mind.
“You could beat me until I call out to my parents without reporting your name?”
Alex looked at Justin. “Alright. As you wish!”
Alex raised his hand and immediately slapped Justin on his cheek. With a crisp smack, he immediately fell on the ground and his face was quickly swollen like a pig’s head.
Two streams of nosebleeds came rushing out.
“Ah!” The twins were dumbfounded. Their expressions were the same. They did not believe that Alex really did slap Justin.
Winry said, “Hey, you’ve got a lot of nerves, huh? Do you know who he is? He’s Justin Melvis. Ever since Tucker Melvis and Tuckson Melvis have been proven that they aren’t lineal descendants of the Melvises, Cousin Justin has become the only heir to the Melvises. He’ll become the future president of Divine Constabulary. You’re in big trouble now.”
Willow coldly grunted and said, “That’s right! Even we have to depend on Cousin Justin, not to mention you’re just a stray child of the Melvis family who has a foreign surname. Are you not going to apologize to Cousin Justin?”
Justin got up from the ground with a gloomy face. “If apologies are useful, what do we need the police for?”
He decided that he was going to ruthlessly clean this trash who dared to hit him.
However, at this time, Soraya suddenly came out. “Justin, stop! What are you doing?”
When Justin saw Soraya, he immediately pointed at Alex and said, “Sis, this stinky hick dared to hit me. I’m not done with him.”
Soraya’s heartbeat get faster the moment she saw Alex. She always thought that she had slept with Alex. At one point, she even believed that she was pregnant with Alex’s child.
This had her worried for a long while until she got her period recently. Only then did she feel relieved, yet she was inexplicably disappointed for a bit.
“What did you do to him?” Soraya angrily stared at her brother.
“I didn’t do anything to him! Sis, I’m here to avenge you! This b*stard dared to bully you with crooked witchcraft. As the only male among the younger generation of the Melvises, naturally I need to avenge you. I’m going to break his legs!”
“Who asked you to avenge me? Apologize to Alex immediately.”
“What? Why should I apologize to him? He was the one who hit me! Sis, are you out of your mind? I didn’t even do anything wrong. How can such a b*stard step into the gate of the Melvises?”
Slap!
Soraya slapped Justin on his cheek.
All of a sudden, the twin sisters were dumbfounded due to the shock.
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 1545
The twins were stunned. Even Justin was dumbfounded.
The woman before him who looked a lot like his sister must not be Soraya because she would never hit him. She must be a fake!
Alex calmly said, “So this is your younger brother huh! You have to discipline him properly. With this temper, he won’t even know that he may get killed someday.”
Justin yelled, “Get the hell out of here! Who do you think you’re?”
Soraya kicked Justin hard and yelled even louder. “Shut the hell up!”
Afterwards, she turned to Alex and said, “My apologies, I’ll discipline my younger brother in the future and incidents like this will never happen again. I’m sorry.”
Winry and Willow widened their eyes as they slightly retracted their heads. They were afraid of getting scolded by Soraya as well. The two girls were young and they looked like university students.
“Where’s my mom?”
“She’s inside. Grandpa is looking after her personally.”
“Alright.”
As Alex raised his foot, he stepped into the Melvises’ residence and walked straight inside. Freya, who followed behind him, glanced at those Melvises indifferently and smirked.
‘Don’t these few people know Alex’s true strength? How dare they provoke him with this little competence?!’
In fact, Justin really did not know. The Swartzes’ twins did not know either.
It was because they did not usually stay in the Melvises’ residence, so they knew nothing about Alex before this and only heard about it afterwards. However, Geronimo had made Alex the next president of Divine Constabulary and decided to hide Alex’s true combat power. He had ordered everyone to keep quiet and even forbade discussion among his family members.
Hence, the current scene happened.
***
Soon, Alex saw his mother, Brittany and Geronimo who was guarding her at the side. There were even two other Grandmasters beside her. Brittany’s personal safety was guaranteed with this kind of lineup.
“Grandpa!”
“My dear grandson!” Geronimo immediately rushed up to Alex and hugged him hard. “I just have faith in you that you’ll be able to succeed. Did the process go smoothly? Did any accident happen?”
Alex said, “It was fine.”
This scene just happened to be seen by Justin and the Swartzes’ sisters who were following behind him. They came forth to complain.
“Grandpa!”
Justin walked in right away.
He was now Geronimo’s only lineal grandson. Everyone said that he was the true heir and the only person to continue the Melvises’ bloodline. This was the root cause of his impetuosity and arrogance recently.
“Huh? What happened to your face? Did you get beaten up? God d*mn it! Who dares to touch the grandson of mine, Geronimo Melvis?!” Geronimo was immediately enraged.
“It’s him!”
Justin pointed at Alex. “It’s this outsider. This guy really doesn’t know his place. He dared to hit me! He must be thinking that he has gained a meteoric rise in status just because he has returned to the Melvis family. Oh gosh, he’s so cocky that he thinks that he is the boss and even God has to listen to him. This kind of person will only bring misfortune to the Melvises if he stays in the Melvis family. Grandpa, I strongly advise you to chase him out of the Melvis family.”
The Swartzes’ sisters nodded their heads. “Grandpa, we can testify to that.”
Geronimo’s expression stiffened for a moment. His expression turned cold bit by bit.
After that, he angrily said, “Nonsense!”
Justin thought that his grandfather was talking about Alex, so he immediately gloated over his misfortune. However, in the next second, Geronimo gave Justin a hard slap on his face. With a slap sound, Geronimo slapped him even harder than Alex until his tooth was broken.
Justin was dumbfounded instantly.
“Since when is it your turn to order the Melvises around? He hit you because you deserved it. Get the hell out now!”
‘What?’
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 1546
Justin was dumbfounded.
Even the twin sisters trembled in shock. ‘Not only did Grandpa not get justice for Cousin, but he even slapped him again! That’s too cruel!’
Seeing that the situation was not good, the two girls fled immediately.
Lexia Rogers had a son and a daughter, they were Lance Melvis and Liyana Melvis.
Soraya and Justin were Lance’s children while the Swartzes’s twins were Liyana’s children. The twins had another older brother, Nathaniel Swartz. He was about the same age as Justin, but he had made a name for himself in the business field and established a network of connections. His status in the family had also been elevated. He was the idol of the twins.
After coming out of the place, they met Nathaniel. They immediately reiterated the matter with exaggeration.
Nathaniel frowned as he said, “It seems like our grandfather is very concerned about his long lost daughter, Brittany Rockefeller! He even treats her son like treasure! The two of you should be smarter and don’t mess with that Alex Rockefeller.”
Winry said, “We didn’t mess with him, but we really can’t bear to see him. With that villain-like face, he just gets arrogant when he’s in power. Doesn’t he know his own surname? Cousin Justin is the only successor of the Melvises!”
“Grandpa feels guilty toward Brittany, so he will naturally be slightly biased toward them. But, it’s only temporary and things will be better after a while.”
At this moment, Justin covered his face and came out while wailing.
Nathaniel said a few words to him. Afterwards, he said, “Justin, don’t get too angry about this. It’s not easy for us to make a move in this matter but we could use external force! Well, we can set up a trap and ask that guy out tonight…”
Just when Nathaniel and Justin were planning how to deal with Alex, Alex asked everyone in the room to leave as he needed to change the Soul Substitute Lotus Seed in Brittany.
This operation involved a human soul. There could not be any mistake, so he had to fully concentrate on it!
Outside the door, Geronimo, two other Grandmasters and Freya were guarding the house.
Geronimo was very interested in Freya. “Girl, you’re very exquisite. Are you my grandson’s girlfriend as well?”
“No…”
“Don’t deny it. I know that rascal very well. As long as it’s a pretty lady, he won’t reject her. I’ve never seen any ladies around him who could escape from his palm.”
The two Grandmasters next to him perspired heavily and thought, ‘Old man, you’re undermining your grandson! Even if she has that sort of intention in her mind, she would be scared off by now.’
“Don’t worry. The Melvis family is a martial arts family. It is normal for a man in the realm of martial arts to have multiple wives and concubines. Look at me, I have three wives. So, don’t worry. As long as you two hit it off, I will definitely support you. By then, I’ll personally go to your place and propose a marriage! By the way, where do you live?”
Freya said, “Nine Rivers, Mayerridge.”
“Nine Rivers, that’s so far away… Mayerridge..?”
Suddenly, Geronimo was stunned. He was shocked, with his mouth agape. “You… You’re one of the Mayers? Who’s Martiny Mayer to you?”
“Umm… She’s my mom.”
Geronimo’s lips twitched for a moment. In an instant, he chuckled awkwardly. “Forget what I just said. Forget what I just said…”
He did not dare to have in-laws like the Mayers of the Exorcist Dragons. Whoever provoked that witch, Martiny Mayer would have bad luck.
***
An hour later, Alex had successfully changed the Soul Substitute Lotus Seed in Brittany.
She woke up faintly. It felt as if he had changed two batteries from her.
When she woke up and saw Alex, she immediately asked, “Alex, are you sure that your dad isn’t dead?”
Alex quietly took out that piece of Memory Crystal and passed it to her.
“This is what l found in Caesar’s tomb, it’s a message left by Dad. He went to look for a way to save you.”
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 1547
Brittany had mental power as well. When she saw the message left behind by William, she immediately hugged Alex and burst into tears.
It was true that he was not dead yet!
Only God knew how she managed to survive the past six months. She felt as if the sky had suddenly collapsed. Other than her son’s affairs, there was no longer any meaning for her to survive.
However, it was different now!
Just like her Soul Substitute Lotus Seed that had been replaced, she regained motivation and everything became hopeful once again.
After crying for a short while, Brittany suddenly said, “Your dad has gone to that unknown place all by himself. Who knows if it would be dangerous. What should he do if he faces a life threatening danger? Or, if he’s injured and no one is there to help, then… Then, what should he do? Oh, why didn’t he discuss this with me before making a decision like this? This is so worrying.”
Alex said, “Mom, Dad is actually very strong. There must have been some unavoidable hardship when he pulled out this plan. Besides, according to his way of doing things, he’s a prudent man. I trust that he’ll definitely be fine.”
“Yeah, I hope so.”
“Don’t worry. I’ll get ready as soon as possible and go find him.”
After that, Alex went to open the door and called Geronimo into the room. Geronimo repressed his delightful feelings.
Brittany’s Soul Substitute Lotus Seed had just been replaced. It would take some time for the soul to be fully integrated into hers. So, Geronimo planned to postpone the family banquet until the night after tomorrow.
It would also be regarded as the official announcement for Brittany’s return to the Melvis family.
During the free time, Geronimo pulled Alex to a corner and whispered, “My good grandson, what kind of relationship are you having with that Mayer lady? Let me tell you something. If you haven’t slept with her yet, please don’t hook up with her. Otherwise, you’ll be in endless trouble!”
Alex smiled uncontrollably. “Grandpa, what are you thinking? She’s only following me because she wants me to cure her! By the way, I need a few medicinal herbs. Can you help me to get them, Grandpa?”
“What kind of medicinal herbs?”
“I’ll give you a list. You just have to find them according to it.”
The medicinal herbs that Alex was looking for were to make an antidote for Freya. However, some of the medicinal herbs belonged to the category of spiritual herbs. Now there was a shortage of spiritual energy in nature, he could not guarantee that these kinds of medicinal herbs would still exist.
Geronimo promised him right away.
After thinking for a while, Alex asked, “Are the people from the Exorcist Dragons terrifying? Even you are so afraid of them.”
Geronimo’s eyes shook. “Of course, I’m not afraid of them.”
Alex could tell the intention in his eyes, he was really scared.
However, this old man usually loved to brag a little. How could he admit to this kind of matter? “I’ve been on the battlefield for my whole life. What else have I never seen before? Aren’t they just from Exorcist Dragons? Back in those days, even the people from Exorcist Dragons had to come to my doorstep and beg me!”
“Then, what do you mean by endless trouble just now?”
“Alright! I’ll talk about Miss Mayer’s mother. Her name is Martiny Mayer and this woman is crazy. She kills without blinking her eyes. Once there was a top-notch martial arts family in the martial arts world. As a result, the disciples of the family somehow had angered Miss Mayer. Why don’t you guess what happened to them?”
“How would I know?”
“That martial arts family was annihilated right away without any survivors. The family was an important existence in the martial arts world and it was full of masters. What about now? Nobody ever speaks of this family anymore.”
Alex was stunned for a moment. He said, “This Martiny Mayer is indeed quite overbearing. But, why didn’t anybody deal with her?”
Geronimo shook his head. “Nobody could. Who’d dared to manage her? The Mayer family of the Exorcist Dragons is meritorious toward America. Not only do they have immunity privileges, but they even have the privilege to take actions without any approval. Most importantly, she’s really powerful! I can’t withstand Martiny for half a minute.”
Alex was shocked again.
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 1548
After that, Alex had an even more intuitive understanding of Freya’s family. In general, there was only one word to describe them, awesome!
After Alex had dinner with Brittany and Freya at the Melvises’ residence, the three of them were having some small talk.
Soraya came in with her brother, Justin.
“Why are the two of you here?” Alex was not very interested in these two siblings.
Soraya said, “Well, Cousin, my brother, Justin has recognized his own mistakes. Also, the Swartzes’ sisters feel quite embarrassed. We’re a family after all, so they would like to invite you to a drink tonight.”
“Invite me to a drink? A dinner that is set up to murder its guest, is it?”
“No, no. It’s true!” Justin next to her said. “Alex, you seem to be slightly older than me. Then, you’re my elder cousin. Grandpa has slapped some sense into me earlier. If I can’t receive your forgiveness by today, not only my grandpa, but my mom will beat me to death as well.”
Alex glanced at him.
That clumsy performance and those connotative eyes all indicated that the apology dinner that he had prepared would not be something good.
However, Brittany did not know Justin’s intention. She also wanted Alex to mend the relationship with the Melvises’ siblings. So, before Alex could reject him, she said, “Alex, since Soraya said so and Justin has also recognized his mistakes, you should go along. You’re all young people and should have some topics to talk about. This is a good time to bond with each other.”
Alex sneered in his mind. ‘Fine. I’ll see what kind of trick you’re going to play this time.’
Hence, he nodded his head and agreed to it.
When they were about to leave, Freya tagged along as well. It was not a big deal since everyone thought that Freya was Alex’s girlfriend. Otherwise, why would he bring her back to the Melvises’ residence?
At first, Soraya wanted to tag along as well. However, before she left the door, her best friend suddenly called her. It seemed that she was in trouble and needed Soraya to help her solve it. So, Soraya had to go there.
Soon after, Alex brought along Freya, following Justin and the Swartzes’ twins to a place called the Blue Whale Club. They said that this place was operated by a certain brother. Not only were the drinks free of charge, but the environment was quite comfortable as well.
Alex only smiled and kept quiet.
Freya pulled Alex and used the Voice of a Thousand Miles to speak to Alex. “Clearly, these few guys are up to no good. Why are you still following them? Are you dumb? Why don’t we go to the Anchorage Market? I heard that the Anchorage Market is quite lively at night.”
Alex said, “I’m going to see what kind of trick they’re going to play this time.”
Half an hour later, they arrived at the Blue Whale Club. After entering the private room, only then did he notice that the party was not limited to a few of them, but there were another group of males and females, with a total of more than ten people.
Justin said, “Cousin, come over here and let me introduce you to these people. These few people are my friends. They admire your elegant demeanor very much. After knowing that you’re a long lost relative of the Melvises, they all want to meet you…”
Afterwards, he introduced them one by one.
At the same time, Nathaniel was outside the private room instructing two people to deliberately find a reason to give Alex a hard time. Naturally, the final goal was to teach Alex a lesson.
One of them said, “Haha! Isn’t this simple? I heard that he has brought along his girlfriend. The easiest way is to start with his girlfriend. Men could never tolerate that. We’ll guarantee that he’ll be going back lying down and you won’t even get into trouble.”
Afterwards, the two people walked in and there was another round of greetings.
Just when Freya got a glass of wine in her hand, a person immediately walked toward her.
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 1549
It was a woman who walked over. She was dressed to the nines.
She was not very old and was about twenty five or twenty six years old, yet her look from head to toe cost over tens of millions of dollars.
This person was one of the two people whom Nathaniel spoke to earlier. Her name was Harley Hilston. She was quite famous in Alaska for being an active socialite in various circles of upper-class society… As a matter of fact, she did not hail from a great family. She just had a slightly better look and knew how to have fun. She depended on many rich heirs to get to her position. In order to achieve her goals, she could go to any length.
For instance, the event today. If she did a great job, not only would Nathaniel give her many advantages, but the men around her would love her even more. Most importantly, she heard that the Melvis family’s lost grandson hailed from a poor countryside and he was just a hick…
Since it was a hick’s girlfriend, naturally she was worse than a hick.
After climbing to her current position, Harley had already forgotten that she came from the countryside as well. She always felt that she was much better than the others. The most she despite the most was the person that she used to be a hick…
Bam!
Harley intentionally walked over in an exaggerated manner and knocked into Freya.
As the wine glass in Freya’s hand tilted, a few drops of wine dripped on the woman’s clothes.
‘There are only a few drops?’ Harley was stunned for a moment. According to the plot she had envisioned, the whole glass of wine should have tipped over on her. In this way, even if she were to play on the issue, the fault would not be on her.
‘A few drops…’
‘A few drops then. It should be fine!’
She immediately stopped walking. While staring at Freya coldly, she said in a stern voice, “What’s wrong with you? Did you leave your house without your eyes? How dare you pour the wine on me? Do you know how much this dress cost? Can you even pay for it?”
Freya raised her eyebrows. “I think you’re the one who knocked into me, right?”
“Oh my, you’ve spilled the wine on me, yet now you’re accusing me first? Who the hell are you? Don’t you have any manners? Are you even well educated? Haven’t your mother taught you how to be a decent human? Could it be that your parents died ages ago?”
Harley got even more agitated as she spoke. In the end, she even scolded Freya’s parents.
Freya’s eyes were stern.
Meanwhile, Harley’s boyfriend, Troy Lomax, immediately walked up to them as well. “What? She has spilled the wine on you? What’s going on? She did it on purpose, right? I’ve hired a famous fashion designer from Italy to tailor-made this dress for you. Plus the post modifications and production, this dress cost me nearly eight million dollars! With this splash of wine, this dress is equivalent to being ruined!”
Harley immediately said, “Pay for the damage! Compensate me eight million dollars right now! And then, kneel down to apologize to me! Who is this woman? Where does this hick come from? She knows no manners at all.”
Freya guessed it immediately. ‘These two were just an appetizer of the dinner party and they were going after Alex.’
So, she would play along then!
She grunted coldly. “You want me to kneel down and apologize to you? Who do you think you’re? Do you know who he is? He’s a member of the Melvis family, the grandson of Divine Constabulary’s president. You want me to kneel down, right? Are you ready to die along with your family?”
“What? B*tch, you dare to talk to me like that. You’ll regret this.”
Justin immediately said, “Miss Hilston, she’s my cousin’s girlfriend. For my sake, I’m wondering if you could…”
Before Justin could finish, Harley stopped him. “Justin Melvis, shut the hell up now. You don’t have much honor in my place! Besides, she dares to threaten to kill my entire family. Do you think I’ll let her go? Today, even kneeling down would not be enough. She has to take off her clothes here and crawl like a dog for a hundred laps. Otherwise, I’ll not forgive her.”
Slap!
A crisp sound was heard.
Before Harley could finish her words, Freya directly gave her a slap.
As a result, half of her face was bruised. Her nose and month were bleeding.
Harley was dumbfounded. She was trembling as she pointed at Freya and said, “B*tch, how dare you hit me?!”
In the next second, Freya pinched the finger that was pointing at her. With force, she broke her index finger right away.
“Argh!”
Harley was in tremendous pain. She could never understand it. Why would the hick’s girlfriend have the bravery to attack her? Could it be that she thought she could do whatever she wished just because her boyfriend was the Melvises’ grandson?
“Hubby, hubby, my finger is broken! My finger is broken! You have to avenge me! I want her arm broken! No, I want all her limbs broken!” cried Harley to Troy. She could have never imagined that things would get to this stage.
Troy still remembered his mission, so he immediately pointed at Alex and said, “She’s your woman and she has terribly injured my girlfriend. Are you not going to say a word?”
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 1550
Alex pursed his lips and said, “You want me to say something? Sure. I think your wife is too b*tchy and she deserves it.”
As Troy’s expression changed, he looked toward Justin. “Justin, it’s not that I don’t have respect for you but your cousin is really arrogant. So, don’t blame me!”
At this moment, Justin’s friends bared their fangs as well.
“That’s right. Justin, what kind of person your cousin is? Why is he so out of touch?”
“Yeah! I thought he’d be a great figure, but it turns out that he’s just a troublemaker. Person like this is not worthy to join us!”
Afterwards, Troy yelled, “Come, people!”
Soon after, two martial artists, who had long prepared outside, rushed in. They seemed a bit strong as they were Earth ranked martial artists.
Alex glanced toward Justin. ‘He has really spent a lot of thoughts on this setup. He even hired two Earth ranked martial artists to be his hitmen. D*mn!’
Sadly, they took the wrong route.
When Harley saw the hitmen had arrived, she couldn’t hold it back anymore. She pointed at Freya with her other hand and yelled with a hideous face, “Grab this d*mn b*tch first! How dare she break my finger?! I must make her regret being a human!”
Crack!
However, her bones were broken again. This time, it was not the finger that was broken but the entire wrist.
Freya sneered. “It seems like you haven’t learned your lesson!”
Troy shouted, “Do it!”
The two martial artists charged toward Freya right away. At a glance, their moves were very sinister.
During a combat between martial artists, especially a male martial artist fighting against a woman, there were many taboos. For instance, a woman’s most private areas the breast and crotch should not be attacked.
However, these two men fought without any scruples, aiming at those areas on the woman.
Justin was secretly happy as he was watching it. The friends whom he called along were all smiling weirdly as well… A dinner party? Why would they have a dinner party with someone like Alex? They would only organize one after they were done dealing with these two people. They were here to mess with them.
Freya was a beautiful lady.
It was pretty nice to watch a beautiful lady being bullied by two men.
However, a cold light flashed!
The wrists of the two Earth martial artists that were trying to grab onto Freya’s chest were chopped off instantly.
They dropped to the ground alive, with blood splashing everywhere. The fingers were still moving randomly.
A half meter long short sword with cold glint appeared in Freya’s hand out of nowhere.
“Ah..!” many men and women at the scene exclaimed. Never did they expect that Freya would be this ruthless.
The key point was that the martial artists hired by Troy were all experts. To his surprise, she had ruined their hands in the blink of an eye. Wasn’t it too exaggerated?
Even Troy yelled, “You… How dare you be so ruthless?”
“Am I?”
Freya suddenly pointed her sword at Troy’s throat. “To be someone else’s lapdog, you should have the realization of getting killed! Do you have any last words?”
Troy was stunned for a moment. Then, he was enraged.
“You dare to kill me? Do you know who I am?”
Freya shook her head. “I don’t want to know!”
After that statement, she pushed her sword forward and punctured Troy’s throat.
‘Die!’
