The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 1561
“What?!”
“This… How is this possible?!”
When many people present saw Alex stretch out a finger to block Brayden Loma’s peerless punch casually, they all were shocked in disbelief. This was Brayden Lomax and he had just beaten Geronimo onto the ground. Could it be that this Alex Rockefeller was even stronger than a Martial Honor?
Mother Mae stood to the side without moving an inch. When Geronimo had rammed into the group of people earlier, he had almost broken her foot.
Her heart was just about to jump out of her chest. If her foot were to be touched under these circumstances, then it would really be done for.
What was more surprising was certainly Alex’s strength.
Where the heck did this guy come from?
At the same time, the one who was dumbfounded was naturally the person involved, Brayden Lomax. His eyes were widened. “What martial arts is this?!”
Alex shook his head. “I understand that you want revenge! But, it’s the father’s fault for not teaching his son. You should know better than me what kind of person your son was! Take the coffins back, and I’ll treat that you Lomaxes have never been here. How about it?”
“F*ck off!” Brayden roared, drawing his fist back to launch another punch!
Unfortunately, he was stopped once again by Alex’s Brahma’s Supreme Touch. He frowned and shouted, “Justin Melvis, do you still not want to tell the truth?!”
His voice rumbled through the area, like the almighty thunder in the sky. It shocked the crowd’s eardrums to be bulged, with a dull pain.
Justin, who took the brunt, almost fainted in fright.
Soraya immediately approached Justin. “Justin, tell me honestly, what’s going on? I know Alex better than you, and he wouldn’t have killed Troy Lomax without any reason.”
Justin said loudly, “Sis, could it be that you believe in him, but not me? Even if you don’t believe me, you should believe the words of Nathaniel Swartz and his twin sisters, right? If you still don’t believe me, I have a video to prove it!”
There were surveillance cameras in the private room of Blue Whale Club, so the entire incident at the time had been recorded.
Lexia immediately said, “Justin, take out the video and play it for everyone present to see clearly. If the matter with the Lomax family’s son really was due to Alex Rockefeller’s unreasonable and ruthless murder, then our Melvis family will make it clear here that we will definitely kill our own family members if justice demands it. But, if Troy Lomax reaped what he sowed, then the Lomax family will have to bear the responsibility for causing such a ruckus with the Melvis family today.”
Brayden replied, “Fine! Play the video!”
Once the video was played, it was exactly as Justin had said. It was because the video had been edited a long time ago, and several important scenes in the middle had already been removed.
Suddenly, the sentiment of the crowd was once again ignited. Countless people started to shout.
“Hand over the murderers! Execute them on the spot!”
“Murderers must pay with their lives! The debt of blood must be paid in blood!”
Brayden looked at Geronimo. “Melvis, you old fart, do you have anything else to say? Now that the video has been played, do you still want to protect your grandson? As Divine Constabulary’s president, you behave unscrupulously to fish for compliments and fame. You’re not worthy of the title at all!”
His voice traveled and echoed in many people’s ears.
Geronimo’s expression turned awful.
He was full of dirty words, but he was someone who upheld his reputation highly. He was also very puzzled, so he looked towards Alex. “Alex, why did you do it?”
Freya answered on his behalf, “President Melvis, I’m the one who killed the guy. In fact, it has nothing to do with Alex. There’s something wrong with this video too. A huge part of the video in the middle has been cut off, and it has been edited! Whenever I, Freya Mayer, want to kill someone, I will just kill him, and I won’t regret it! If you want revenge, then come at me!”
Brayden laughed in a crazed manner. “What a quibble! In that case, I, Brayden Lomax, don’t have anything else to say. Today, if the murderer is not dead, my wife and I will use these coffins for ourselves! Who’s willing to stand together with my Lomax family?”
“I am! Mother Mae from the Northern Sacred Mountain Sect!” Mother Mae was the first one to come forward.
Mother Mae was the first one to come forward.
It turned out that her foot had just recovered its freedom. After all, Brittany’s Silver Frost had yet to reach a defying level. On the other hand, Mother Mae was a half-stepped Grandmaster, so she was powerful in her own might.
“Me! Cade Gil from Alaska’s Gil family!”
“Craven Style Tai Chi, Jaden Craven!”
“Golden Sword Faction, Drew Watson!”
“…”
One by one, masters stood right behind Brayden, wanting to uphold justice. In their eyes, Alex and Freya probably had become nothing less than heinous villains.
Seeing the situation getting more serious and the people were aggressive, the battle was on the verge of breaking out.
Alex glanced at Justin. “Are you really not going to tell the truth? You still want to be wilful at this time? It’s not too late now before more people are going to die!”
Geronimo believed in Alex.
He immediately rushed over and gave Justin a slap on his face. “You wretched thing, what in the world are you still hiding?! Did you edit this surveillance video?!”
Half of Justin’s face was swollen from the slap. He gritted his teeth and said, “No, I didn’t I’m not hiding anything! It’s all the truth!”
Brayden immediately pointed at Freya. “Kill!”
“Kill, kill, kill!”
The chaotic warfare started.
Some rushed towards Freya, and some rushed towards Brittany.
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 1562
Meanwhile, Alex was being restrained by Brayden. Some people even used hidden weapons.
Brittany was accidentally hit by a flying knife on her shoulder, almost hitting her heart. In that instant, Alex’s murderous intent surged.
“Freya, protect my mom!”
“Leave everyone else to me!”
“Lightning, come forth!”
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
Pillars of lightning struck down from the sky, as though Thor had descended to the world. Alex’s cold eyes were filled with surging murderous intent.
“Ah!”
“He’s a Cultivation Guru, don’t give him time to cast spells! Everyone, use your hidden weapons and ranged attacks to attack him together!”
“I’ll lead on the front. Everyone, follow me and let’s kill this villain!”
“Kill his woman and his mother first!”
Countless martial artists coupled with the three hundred martial artists from the Lomax family all started to attack together.
The hidden weapons fell down like rain.
In such a situation, Alex could only use the Mystic Armor, expanding it to protect himself, Freya and his mother inside it. The situation was extremely severe.
Geronimo wanted to step forward to help.
However, Lexia, the other Melvis family’s relatives and the two Grandmasters firmly held him back. Lexia shouted, “Geronimo Melvis, don’t be befuddled! Now that the evidence is solid, the Melvis family can’t step forward in this matter! If you continue to shield Alex Rockefeller, our Melvis family will be condemned with no hope of any reprieve! Have you thought of the consequences? Brianna Melvis is your daughter, but Liyana Melvis is also your daughter! You are not alone, you have a big family!”
Geronimo was furious that his eyes were about to pop out of his sockets as he watched Alex bracing persistently.
Once the shield was broken, all three of them would be dead.
“Let go of me! That’s my daughter and my grandson! I finally got them back after so much effort, do you want me to watch them die?!”
“Let go! Even if I die, I will protect them too!”
Thud!
A Grandmaster punched Geronimo in the acupoint, knocking him out.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Alex’s Mystic Armor needed to block the assaults from the hidden weapons.
Brayden took a group of people to attack the Mystic Armor’s shield with weapons at close range. How could the shield hold at this rate? After dozens of attacks from hundreds of people, the shield had completely shattered.
“The tortoise shell has broken! Kill them!”
“Kill! Kill! Kill!”
In the blink of an eye, several wounds appeared all over Alex’s body. They were so deep to the point even his bones could be seen. Not even Hercules could contend against two at once, let alone hundreds of experts?
Brittany shouted urgently, “Alex, hurry up and go. You can definitely get out by yourself!”
Alex’s eyes became colder. “I’m fine! I just don’t want to go on a killing spree.”
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
Ashe said that, the Sword of the Universe, the Seven Blades of Death and the Breaking Point of the Dragon’s Bane of Thirty-Six floated in front of him.
One divided into two, and two divided into four… Three blades had split into eighteen blades in total. This was the Thousand Sword Tactics.
It was just that now he could only divide every sword into six blades!
This scene stunned everyone.
“Don’t let him unleash his ultimate move! Hurry up and attack with your hidden weapons!”
“Hurry up and kill him!”
Strum, strum, strum…
At this moment, a string of zither sound rang out suddenly.
Swoosh!
A murderous arc of zither sound fell down from the sky. With a poof, it landed on several martial artists who had been advancing forward. In an instant, the bodies of those people were cut up alive and turned into piles of meat, with blood splattered everywhere.
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 1563
The sudden turn in the situation had stunned everyone. Looking at the pieces of corpses on the ground with the bloody smell assailing their noses, many people felt a burst of nausea and discomfort in their stomachs.
Blargh!
Someone couldn’t hold it in, and vomited.
Strum!
The sound of zither sounded out again, as if a powerful army surging forth to kill the enemies over and over. The second arc of murderous zither sound fell from the sky.
“Look out!” Brayden roared, and he was the first one to flee to the side.
Poof! Poof! Poof!
Three more martial artists were hit by the arc of the zither sound, and two died on the spot. One of them was the man who had just vomited. Half of his head had been sliced off.
Many people would probably have nightmares after witnessing such a scene.
Alex was shocked as well. He had seen many killings, but this was his first time to witness such a bloody and disgusting murder.
It was just too powerful to kill people with sound from a zither.
Moreover, he could even feel that the zither sound contained some kind of mental interference.
“Who is it?”
He turned around to look back, only to find that two women were on the villa’s roof behind him, one was sitting, while the one was standing. At this distance, he could clearly see that both of them looked young, but they were very beautiful and had an unique temperament.
The zither sound came from the sitting woman.
At this moment, Mother Mae seemed to have thought of something terrifying, so she shouted, “This… This is the Sky Devil Zither! The Old Moon Devil has come!”
“What?! This is the Sky-Devil Zither that has vanished without a trace in the realm of martial arts for twenty years? Why did it reappear here now?! What does the Old Moon Devil want to do? Could it be that she wants to bring about another reign of terror again?!”
“Hurry up and run!”
There was an older man who seemed to have lingering fears in regards to the Sky-Devil Zither. The moment he heard that the Sky-Devil Zither had appeared, he immediately sprinted out of the Melvis family’s compound.
As a result, before he could take a few steps, the zither rang out again. The soundwave shot out like an arrow, directly piercing the back of the person’s head.
With a thud, he fell to the ground and died!
Dead silence enveloped the entire area.
The Lomaxes were stunned.
The Melvises were also stunned.
Justin Melvis and Nathaniel Swartz had a very bad foreboding. They had a feeling that this matter had gone too far and they had long been unable to control the direction of the situation. Now, they could only resign themselves to fate. However, Alex’s strength had obviously long surpassed their expectations.
“Today, none of you here are allowed to escape. I shall kill whoever tries to escape!”
“My sister is not someone who can be killed by anyone!”
An ice-cold voice that disregarded the crowd of martial artists floated down from the sky.
In the next moment, a figure flashed and a beauty appeared in Alex’s line of sight.
She looked to be at most twenty six or twenty seven years old. She wore a long, white dress with fluttering sleeves and had a pair of big, watery eyes, scrutinizing Alex.
The gaze on him was so intense to the point Alex felt slightly embarrassed.
This woman was the same person who had killed people using the zither just now.
“You’re Alex Rockefeller?”
She suddenly reached out to grab Alex’s chin, tilting his face left and right while studying his face carefully. Then, she snorted. “I was expecting a really amazing character, but that’s all. You can’t even handle such a small matter. How are you worthy enough to become my brother-in-law?”
Alex struggled hard and broke free from the woman’s hold.
He frowned and said, “Who’s your sister?”
The woman laughed. “You still can’t guess who I am until now? Not only are you weak, you’re also slow! A little stupid! Seriously! You’ve been eliminated, you’re not worthy of my sister.”
Alex felt depressed from those words!
‘Who wants to be your brother-in-law?!’
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 1564
‘This woman is showering someone with unreciprocated affection!’
At this moment, Freya opened her mouth to speak, “Sis, don’t bully him anymore. When did I ever say that I want him to be my… Don’t talk nonsense anymore.”
Alex was stunned.
Everyone else was also stunned.
It turned out that the murderous woman in front of them was actually the sister of the owner of the Sky-Devil Zither, Old Moon Devil! It was no wonder she had killed Troy Lomax over a disagreement.
The woman said, “I’m not talking nonsense, your dad said so.”
Freya’s face flushed as she said to Alex, “Alex, she’s my elder sister, Luna Flores… She… Just don’t listen to her nonsense.”
Alex didn’t listen to her nonsense. However, he felt relieved as well. Just now, he almost had to resort to using the Thousand Sword Tactics.
However, if the Thousand Sword Tactics with surging murderous intent were to be activated, there would have been countless deaths and injuries. Although the martial artists in front of him were despicable, they had all been deceived by Justin and the Lomaxes. They weren’t the real evil here.
As the inheritor of the Ultimate Book of Medicine, his vocation was still to save the people. If he were to kill hundreds or even thousands of people here today, he really wouldn’t have been able to bear it.
“Is my mom here?” Freya asked.
She had been facing those people from the Lomax family the entire time, so she did not see the other person standing on the roof of the villa.
“There, over there!” Luna pointed towards the direction behind her. “She still has a handful of pistachios that she hasn’t eaten yet, so she’ll come down after she’s done.”
When the people nearby heard it, they almost thought that their ears were not working properly.
Her own daughter had nearly been killed, but she was great and still had the leisure to snack on pistachios on the villa’s roof?! What kind of person was this? That was a little too carefree!
However, Alex didn’t have any time to pay attention to Freya’s mother. He immediately turned to Brittanny to check on the injury on her shoulder.
Fortunately, the flying knife was not poisonous. However, the word ‘Lee’ was engraved on the knife!
He immediately took out a pill, crushed it and applied it on Brittanny’s wound.
At this time, Freya’s mother had finally finished her pistachios. She raised a slender hand.
A handful of pistachio shells flew with the wind, and actually formed a long parabola. More importantly, the shells seemed to be supported by some kind of force. They didn’t fall down but were suspended in the air. Freya’s mother stepped on the shells, walking down step by step.
The scene had stunned everyone. What kind of incredible skill was this?
On the contrary, this woman appeared to be devastatingly beautiful and completely looked like a female college student. How could she be Freya’s mother?
It was more accurate to say they looked like sisters instead.
“Brayden Lomax, you sure have guts. You dare to touch my people from Mayerridge? You even prepared a coffin for my daughter. Give me one reason why I shouldn’t kill you.”
Once the woman finished speaking, she had also reached the ground.
When Brayden heard those words, his heart suddenly felt he was in a perilous situation. Even his legs felt slightly weak. “Mayer… Mayerridge? Mayerridge of Nine Rivers?”
The woman snorted coldly. “Is there another Mayerridge in the country?”
“Y-You’re…”
“Martiny Mayer!”
With a ‘pfft’ sound, a woman in the crowd couldn’t help but laugh out loud. It was the elder sibling of the Swartz twins, Winry Swartz. When she felt a lot of eyes on her, she said in slight embarrassment, “Martini, isn’t that some cocktail? As a digestif. ”
Just as she said that, Luna appeared in front of her.
Slap, slap! Slap, slap!
After four slaps, Winry’s face instantly swelled and resembled a pig’s head.
Liyana was extremely distressed over this, but she didn’t dare to say a word.
Nathaniel even took two steps back, fearing that he would catch Luna’s attention.
Brayden finally understood why Geronimo had said that he couldn’t kill this girl. She really shouldn’t be killed, because this was an abyss!
The woman, Martiny Mayer, was just too terrifying!
Ten years ago she had become a taboo in the martial arts world. Ten years later, she had just become even more terrifying.
Facing Martiny’s gaze, Brayden only felt cold sweat break out on his back and bit the bullet by saying, “I didn’t know she was your daughter. And, it was your daughter who killed my son first. I… I’m just avenging my son. Is that wrong?”
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 1565
“You’re right, my daughter is in the wrong!”
Martiny Mayer said calmly. “But, have you ever asked why my daughter killed your son?”
Before Brayden could open his mouth, a middle-aged man next to him snorted coldly and said, “It’s a matter of course for a murderer to pay with his life. No matter what reason your daughter had, it doesn’t mean she could just kill anyone casually!”
“Also, just now you people went on a killing spree and regarded human lives like pigs and dogs. Who do you think you are? Do you think that you could just slaughter innocent people just because you have some capabilities? This is a country governed by the law!”
After the person prattled on like this, Brayden even broke out in a cold sweat.
The corner of Martiny’s lips curled up, displaying a charming smile. “If you didn’t say that, I would have almost forgotten that this place is governed by the law. Then, may I ask, which law stipulates that so many of you can besiege my daughter without even investigating the truth of the matter? Did you intend to kill her?”
The man was instantly speechless.
Martiny said, “You can’t answer?”
The man snorted. “I won’t bother with such an annoying woman like you.”
Martiny nodded. “Then, you can just die.”
She bent her finger and flicked it lightly.
The man still had a furious expression on his face. In the next moment, it was frozen there forever, with a bloody hole appearing in between his eyebrows.
He was dead!
“Ahhhh!”
Everyone present yelled out in surprise as their faces were filled with terror. Never did they expect that this woman, who had a smile on her face, would kill people so casually. She had killed the man with just a flick of finger, as easily as killing a chicken or a duck!
“Is there anyone else who thinks that killing my daughter is justified, and I disregard human lives from killing people? If there are, please, by all means, come up!”
Countless people shrunk their necks.
Perhaps, they were thin king, ‘D*mn it, this woman is crazy! Who would dare to stand up at this time? Isn’t that just digging your own grave if you do?!’
Seeing no one came forward, Martiny snorted. Her gaze once again fell on Brayden as she said in a voice that seemingly muttered to herself, “If it was back then, your Lomax family would no longer exist! But, it’s different now. Brayden Lomax, you still have your uses as a veteran Grandmaster. I still have to save some talents for America. Today, I’ll be lenient, and spare you today! Do you still want revenge?”
Brayden was silent. If he insisted on taking revenge, Martiny Mayer would definitely kill them all.
However, if he said that he was not going to take revenge, then how would he face his son in front of his memorial grave?
His wife, Connie Yule, rushed forward. “Then, did my son just die in vain? If you have the ability, then just kill me too! Since my son is dead now, I don’t want to live anymore either! Brayden, Troy is dead! He was murdered! He was your only blood descendant! Brayden, you no longer have anyone to carry on your bloodline, do you know that? What else is there to consider? At worst, everyone should just die!”
She glared at Freya. “You killed my son, so just go to hell!”
Connie suddenly pulled out a gun and aimed it at Freya, preparing to open fire!
Strum!
The Sky-Devil Zither rang out. A murderous arc of zither sound shot out, rushing towards Connie’s arm like an arrow.
“Wife, watch out! ” Brayden roared, and raised his hand to catch the deadly soundwave.
However, he couldn’t make it. Connie’s hand that held the gun was sliced through immediately, and fell to the ground.
Luna’s eyes were chilling as she said, “If there is a next time, I will take your life.”
An elderly from the Lomax family yelled at the people from Divine Constabulary, “You’re all people from Divine Constabulary, and you have responsibilities. Are you going to just watch indifferently while they are behaving ruthlessly here?!”
Alex suddenly roared, “Justin Melvis, get over here!”
At first, he did not plan on explaining anything much. However, the situation had worsened, and the Lomaxes were not backing off a single bit. The truth of the matter had to be clarified. And, Justin was the sole instigator of the incident.v
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 1566
Whoosh!
Justin Melvis could only feel that there was a terrifying roar in his brain, and his mind was no longer under his control. He walked toward Alex like a zombie.
Lexia was Justin’s grandmother. Of course, she couldn’t watch as Alex killed him. She immediately called for people to hold Justin back.
However…
Thud, thud, thud…
Eighteen long swords suddenly fell to the ground from the sky, forming a row in front of the Melvis family, blocking their way.
Alex’s eyes were cold as he said, “No one is allowed to hold him back. Otherwise, I’ll kill them without mercy!”
Justin’s father, Lance Melvis, roared, “You little b*stard! Are you rebelling against us? You would dare to kill a member of the Melvis family?!”
Alex made a casual move, and Maiko Chiba appeared.
Alex issued an order. “Maiko, from now on, whoever dares to cross the sword formation, no matter who it is, just kill them!”
Maiko had absorbed countless restless spirits in Caesar‘s tomb. Now, her cultivation level had improved once more, and she was gradually advancing toward the ghost king level. At this moment, she had managed to manifest a corporal soul body, and even ordinary people could see her now.
When Maiko appeared, Nelson and Angela from the Seay family were taken aback.
Angela said in a low voice, “This… Wasn’t that the person who appeared in the Stoemer family before, the one that was said to be Alex’s master? Even Terrance Coleman was terrified and intimidated by her.”
Nelson replied, “It seems that we’ve all been deceived by Master Alex. That isn’t his master. It is a ghost that he has under his command! What a fantastic method!”
“Huh? It’s not his master? Then, how did she do all that last time?”
“Angela, don’t you get it? Back then, Alex couldn’t have been able to match up to Terrance head-on, but today, his cultivation base has long evolved from what it used to be. His cultivation base has gone beyond what can be understood by normal martial artists. I heard that in ancient times, some users were called Supremes. They could fly in the skies, and they have amazing skills and methods. I think Master Alex is a little like them!”
Very soon, Justin walked up to Alex.
Alex asked him, “Justin, I’m asking you. Where is the complete surveillance video?”
Justin was compelled to answer all questions asked now, and he said, “I’ve deleted it. It can never be retrieved.”
The people present saw that Alex would not kill Justin but ask him questions instead, so they quieted down and paid attention.
When they heard Justin’s answer, many people who had called for Alex and Freya’s death to carry out heaven’s will felt their hearts stop. It was like they had been f’*cked over. Many of them were also stunned, speechless. What the heck was going on now?
Had that video really been edited?
Alex asked further, “Why did you do this?”
“Because you dared to hit me, and I wanted revenge!” Justin said. “Because of you, even Grandpa hit me! Who do you think you are? You’re just some leftover from a b*tch of an old man who had disappeared forty years ago. You don’t even carry the Melvis family name. Why does Grandpa value you so much?! He even wants to hand over the president position to you. Are you even worthy?! That’s why, I want you to die! As long as you’re dead, Grandpa would no longer just focus on one grandson, that is you.”
Justin poured out all his thoughts and exposed everything in broad daylight.
All the members of the Melvis family were momentarily stunned. Even Lance was speechless.
Lexia covered her mouth, not daring to believe that this was the grandson she had treated and regarded as her precious treasure.
Nathaniel Swartz just wanted Justin to shut his mouth. However, he couldn’t do anything about it at all.
All the warriors on the scene who had been clamoring like crazy earlier suddenly looked as though they had been fed sh*t.
Alex shook his head and said, “I didn’t think that you’d want my life just because of this! The position of the president of the Divine Constabulary is not one that I value at all. Justin Melvis, tell everyone honestly and don’t leave out anything in regards to what happened the other day. Tell them whether Troy Lomax deserved to die or not!”
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 1567
Very quickly, Justin Melvis gave a thorough explanation of what exactly happened that day.
It started after Geronimo had slapped him, all the way till how Freya had cut down Troy Lomax with a sword. Whether it had been Nathaniel, Winry, or Willow who had fanned the flames in the middle, he didn’t miss out on a single detail and explained everything in detail.
The three siblings of the Swartz family could feel their souls attempting to escape their bodies as they continued to listen.
With Justin’s confession, they were about to be in big trouble.
Nathaniel shouted, “No, that’s not right! Listen to me, everyone. Things did not happen like that! Justin is under Alex’s control right now. He’s being hypnotized! Everything he’s saying now, Alex is the one forcing him to say all of this!”
The Swartz twins nodded in agreement, accusing Alex of hypnotizing Justin with sinister intentions.
Just at this moment, a young woman suddenly rushed in from outside. “I have the complete video of what happened at the scene that time.”
Alex and Freya took a look at her and seemed to vaguely have the impression that she had been one of the girls who were present at Blue Whale Club that day.
“Back then, we received invites from Justin and Nathaniel to come to Blue Whale Club. Actually, we already knew that Young Master Lomax’s girlfriend had arranged it in advance, so I was already prepared and recorded everything that happened.”
The young woman pulled out her phone and played the video.
Soon, everything that happened at that time was revealed completely.
“Has your mother never taught you the principles of being a human? Or have your parents been dead for a long time?”
“Pay me eight million immediately, then kneel and apologize!”
“She needs to be stripped here and crawl like a dog for a hundred laps. Otherwise…”
“Catch this stupid b*tch first. She dared to break my finger! I want her to regret being born…”
When every single word in the video was completely revealed to the public, everyone was silent.
‘Justice?’
This was the so-called will of heavens they had been going on and on about. It turned out to be just a botched setup.
Strum, strum, strum…
Luna flicked the Sky-Devil Zither gently with her delicate hands and said in her sultry voice, “You wanted my sister to strip and crawl a hundred laps naked? Did you curse my parents to die? Since when were my people from Mayerridge so easy to be bullied?”
“All of you here today, every single one of you, listen to a song I play!”
“Once you’re done listening, only then may you leave!”
Having said that, Luna’s finger plucked the strings of the zither and played it with rapt attention.
Alex was a person who could play the piano, so he was naturally familiar with the rhythm that she was playing. The song Luna was playing was ‘Ambush From Ten Sides’!
The song had a heavy momentum and a fierce transition. At times, it sounded like a soft breeze blowing on the face, sometimes it sounded like a wave of fierce slaps, like a mighty army that went on an expedition and a killing spree!
When the song was played and enacted by masters of their craft, it could make people who were listening feel nervous and uncomfortable. However, in Luna’s hands, weaving Chi into the notes and using the Sky-Devil Zither, the song became even more worthy of the name itself, as the sound waves from the zither had literally killed… And there had even been sonic booms from it!
More than half the song had been played. At this moment…
Strum!
With a high pitch note, the master of the instrument shot out to kill.
“AIgh!”
Some of the mentally weaker people couldn’t endure it. They immediately spewed out mouthfuls of blood, their faces pale and drained of all blood!
Strum! Strum! Strum!
Another three notes.
“Arghhhhh!”
This time, half of the people present coughed up blood. Even Mother Mae coughed up blood.
“Sky-Devil Zither! Sky-Devil Zither!”
“When the Sky-Devil Zither appears, the world is in a catastrophe!”
Mother Mae’s emotions had been affected by the Sky-Devil Zither, and her mind had become a little fuzzy. She screamed like a madwoman.
Brayden was on the ground on his knees, struggling hard to block out the sounds. Most of the Melvis family members were also down on their knees.
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 1568
In the next ten seconds, more people threw up blood, and some even fell to the ground, unknown whether they were alive or dead.
Alex suddenly walked over and pressed down on the zither strings with his hand.
“Enough!”
The sound of zither stopped abruptly.
Luna glanced coldly at Alex. “Who allowed you to touch my Sky-Devil Zither?”
She curled her finger, and one of the strings vibrated violently.
Snap!
It hit Alex’s hand.
Alex pulled back his hand quickly from the pain, shaking his hand behind his back a couple of times as he said, “There’s a lot of people here who had been kept in the dark and deceived. Most of them are not guilty of any crime that deserves death.”
“You’re someone who tries to be on good terms with everyone.” Luna snorted, but she kept away her zither.
“Get lost!”
In the blink of an eye, the Melvis family compound that had been overcrowded with people suddenly receded like a tide.
Countless people regretted their actions. Wasn’t it better to have just stayed at home, watch some TV, or surf the net?
Instead, they had decided to be here to dig their graves.
That was the Sky-Devil Zither. Then, that woman must be the Old Moon Devil, right?
The guests who all came to attend the Melvis family banquet ran away. They needed to run and get away even if they were stillcoughing up blood while doing so!
Brayden didn’t leave. His gaze was fixed upon Nathaniel Swartz and Justin Melvis. The Lomax family couldn’t deal with Alex and Freya, but these two had been using the Lomax family since the beginning. First, they had used Troy, and after Troy died, they used Brayden!
“Hahahaha!” Brayden laughed widely. “Great! Very good! As expected of Geronimo Melvis’ grandson! Using tricks and conspiring like this, making a fool out of me, Brayden Lomax. Killing my son and almost killing my entire Lomax family! I’m such a fool!”
He waved his hand!
Justin was in his hands the next moment.
Alex had long since withdrawn the mind control he had over Justin, and Justin was completely sober and aware at this time. His face was filled with terror, and he was just about to pee his pants from fright. “U-U-Uncle… Uncle Brayden, no, it has nothing to do with me… It was Nathaniel. Everything was his idea! Nathaniel was also the one who called Troy over. If you want revenge, go for Nathaniel!”
Nathaniel sneered at Justin. “Justin Melvis, you’re a f*cking joke. Troy can’t accept my invitation because you’re from the Melvis family that he gave you some face. You want to pin the blame onto me…”
The two brothers were throwing each other under the bus in a life or death situation!
Alex suddenly felt his interest waning.
It had been supposed to be a banquet for the Melvis family, and now it had descended into a chaotic mess. He helped Brittanny up and said, “Mom, we’re not from the Melvis family from the start, and we’ve been away for a long time. No one takes us seriously, and we’ve just become a thorn in their side. Other than Grandpa, no one else has anything to do with us!”
Brittany sighed.
The Melvis family’s attitude had bitterly disappointed her.
She thought that Lexia was sincere towards her, but when the Melvis family was in trouble, the old woman abandoned Alex and herself and even refused to allow Geronimo to save his daughter. It was apparent that everything before this had just been a façade.
They only treated Brittany kindly because they wanted to gain more trust from Geronimo.
Wealthy people really were cold and frivolous.
Brittany covered the wound on her shoulder and said, “Alex, let’s go home! California is where our home truly is.”
Alex nodded.
As for the life and death of Justin and Nathaniel, he didn’t want to bother about them nor did he want to!
“Alex!” Soraya yelled out at this moment and said anxiously, “Alex, save my brother! Please, you’re the only one who can save him now! Please, I only have one brother!”
Alex didn’t even turn.
Soraya continued, “Alex, are you so unfeeling that you would be unwilling to help?”
Freya couldn’t help but say, “Your brother wanted to kill him, and now you want him to save your brother? Is there something wrong with your head? The fact that Alex didn’t just kill him is already an act of benevolence.”
“Alex…” Soraya said. “I’m begging you, at least for the sake of the fact we were once married.”
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 1569
When Soraya said that, all the Melvis family members’ eyes widened.
“What?!”
“Alex and Soraya were married?!”
“How is that possible? They’re blood-related cousins!”
Lexia had initially panicked because she had been worried about the life and death of her son. Now, when she heard that her daughter and cousin had had intercourse with each other, she felt like her entire world was about to crumble. “Soraya, y-you… Is what you say true? When did this happen?”
Soraya said, “That… It happened when I was trapped in Moonlight Lake those few days.”
Lexia was furious. “Alex, you b*stard!”
At this time, even Brittany was shocked. She knew her son was a little ridiculous about women, but she hadn’t expected that even Soraya had been… Although it wasn’t uncommon for cousins to marry each other in ancient times, it wasn’t the same now!
Freya frowned and looked over at Alex as well.
Alex’s face was calm as he replied, “Soraya Melvis, you’ve made a mistake. We never had any form of relationship. Everything in Moonlight Lake was just an illusion that you fantasized about! I just didn’t expect that you would imagine those things…”
Zachary Xavier chose to speak up at this moment, “That’s right, I can testify to this because I was with Alex the entire time.”
In an instant, Soraya’s face became ashen.
“Impossible, impossible!”
She was a woman who admired the strong. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have fallen for the Divine Constabulary’s Guardian, Shaun Baker, in the beginning. He had been old enough to be her father.
Alex’s strength fascinated her deeply, and even though knowing that he was her cousin, she had still fallen deeply and was unable to extricate herself. In other words, it had been a fantasy within an illusion. She had immersed herself in a beautiful world where she regarded herself as Alex’s woman and had once fantasized that she had been pregnant with Alex’s child in her belly.
However, now that Zachary had broken her fantasies, she couldn’t stand it anymore.
“You’re lying. You’re lying!”
“You have such a good relationship with him. Of course, you would lie for him!
“Alex, how could you treat me this way? You’ve forgotten how happy we were in those days? We confided in each other amidst the flowers under the moonlight! We even knelt under the moon and said our vows, and we even entered the bridal chamber! I thought that I was pregnant with your child, but, I’m sorry, I wasn’t able to. But, we can still try harder. I’ll definitely give you a healthy baby boy…”
The members of the Melvis family were all dumbfounded.
They had all initially thought that Alex had forced himself on Soraya, but now it seemed that it wasn’t the case at all.
In addition, during the time Soraya had been trapped on Moonlight Lake, she had been on a boat, and those few days had been a crescent moon. Where did flowers and moonlight come from? There weren’t any bridal chambers either. It was purely a fantasy that she had imagined.
“Soraya, you need to see a psychiatrist!”
Then, Alex looked at Geronimo, who was protected by the two Grandmasters and said to Brayden, “I don’t care about what happens to the other members of the Melvis family, but don’t touch my grandfather, Geronimo. If you touch him, I will destroy the entire Lomax family. I won’t even leave chicken sh*t behind!”
He waved his hand.
The sword of the Dragon’s Bane of Thirty-Six that was stuck on the ground flew hundreds of meters upward into the air.
Up in the air, the eighteen blades merged into one.
“Thousand Sword Tactics, return!”
The sword that was as big as a ship that was thirty to forty meters long landed on a villa with a ‘boom’. In an instant, the entire villa crumbled.
Dead silence enveloped the entire scene.
This was a warning to the Lomax family and also to the Melvis family.
Luna, who stood to the side, glanced at Alex. Previously, this woman had been indifferent toward Alex and had obvious contempt in her eyes. She had even said that he was not qualified to be her brother-in-law. However, after Alex had revealed what he had up his sleeves, she seemed to have changed her views. Her eyes flashed, and a hint of appreciation could be seen.
***
Alex helped Brittany leave the Melvis family compound.
Freya and her family members followed after them, too.
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 1570
Brayden Lomax was still holding Justin Melvis in his hands. He looked at the ruined villa and laughed loudly. “I really didn’t expect that Geronimo’s grandchildren would have such a character among them! What a pity, all of you, Melvis, are blind! You’ve personally driven a real talent away and even taken my son’s life!”
Brayden’s words made many people from the Melvis family feel extremely ashamed as well as regretful. When they thought about how naturally defying Alex’s skills had been, and now he even had connections to the people of Mayerridge, he would be a giant among men in the future. Furthermore, he was a brilliant doctor that could even cure cancer. In Brittany’s hands, there was a super famous cosmetic company, Lush Cosmetics…
However, now, they were all unrelated to the Melvis family.
Lexia said, “Brayden, I only have one grandson. The one responsible for Troy’s death should be his girlfriend, as well as Freya. Although my grandson has concealed the facts, he isn’t guilty of death, right? If you kill him, Geronimo will definitely not let you off. Why don’t we talk about it? What compensation do you want?”
Brayden’s eyes were fierce. “I want his life. What are you going to do about it?”
At this moment, an old man walked out from among the disciples of the Lomax family and whispered a few things into Brayden’s ears. Brayden was startled, then he said, “Fine! I’m fine with not killing him, but I want two things from the Melvis family…”
***
When they walked out of the Melvis family compound, Alex was stopped by a woman’s call. It was the young woman who had taken out the video before.
She walked over and went down on her knees with a ‘thud’ in front of Alex. “Mr. Alex!”
Alex felt it was strange previously. This young woman had been willing to take out the video. Wasn’t she afraid of being spurned by her peers? Not only did the video have the entire process of the confrontation, there were also faces of several rich second generations in there. The consequences of her doing so were equivalent to offending every single person in that video.
“You have something to ask of me?” Alex suddenly understood.
The young woman said, “I do, please, save my father, Mr. Alex!”
“What happened to your father?”
“My father just had a check-up and found out that he has cancer. I heard that you have superb medical skills, Mr. Alex. And you even cured Uncle Nickolas, who was suffering from advanced stages of terminal cancer. So, no matter what, please, I’m begging you to save my father. I’m willing to do anything you ask.”
Freya snorted coldly. “You’re quite the opportunist!”
The woman bowed her head even lower and apologized. Her head hit the ground, and even her forehead was now bleeding.
Alex waved his hand and said, “It’s fine. You brought out the video, which is considered to have helped me once.”
He pulled out a rejuvenation pill and then thought about it for a while before taking out a knife and cutting it in half.
This was the last pill he had on him. He gave half of it to the young woman.
“This half will be enough to save your father’s life! Now, we no longer owe each other!”
The young woman was stunned for a moment. She hadn’t expected the treatment for cancer to be so simple.
It was Luna who said in surprise, “A rejuvenation pull? It can save a person from the brink of death, whether flesh or bones and extend life by ten years. Using this pill to cure cancer, you’re really rich and over breathing. Do you still have any? Give me one.”
Alex said, “This was the last one. I’ll give you this half, then!”
Luna took it, then glanced at his pouch and said, “I won’t take it for nothing. Take this talisman as an exchange.”
She grabbed a piece of talisman and slapped it on Alex’s forehead.
Whoosh!
In an instant, Alex felt his body had been bound by something. He couldn’t move an inch. The small talisman had such a powerful binding spell on it.
Alex’s heart sank.
He didn’t feel any negative emotions toward this Luna and felt that although this woman was a little evil, she was beautiful, but… She was thorny!
Alex’s spiritual powers surged up fiercely, and he was about to break the bonds by force…
Then, Luna took off the talisman and said with a bright smile, “Don’t panic, I was just letting you try out the power of this talisman. Otherwise, I’m afraid you would say I was taking advantage of you! This is called the Divine Fetter Talisman, and it can be used three times. I’ve just used it once on you, and there are still two times. Is it enough as repayment for half the
rejuvenation pill?”
Alex was dumbfounded.
A talisman that could only be used three times, and she used it once directly on his forehead. Was she some spendthrift?
