Ch. 1651..1660
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 1651
Alex didn’t know who Xienna Stoermer was, but he was now very worried.
He had seen and heard about many cases of reincarnation in the Ultimate Book of Medicine. A person who could be reincarnated from their previous life definitely wasn’t an ordinary person in itself. For someone who would reincarnate and still hold the Reincarnation Stone, which defied nature, it was certain that the person came from a significant background.
Coming from such a past life, they definitely would not have a good end.
In the end, they would mostly be swallowed up or be killed by the soul of their previous life.
“Hubby, I’m perturbed!” Dorothy hugged Alex, her chin resting on his shoulder, and she sounded sad.
So what if she had reached the realm of Nascent Soul so quickly? That only meant that she would die faster.
Dorothy now wished that she could slow down her cultivation level so that the soul of her previous life would take longer to wake up.
“Don’t be afraid!”
Alex tightened his arms around her, though he felt even more anxious and afraid than Dorothy when he heard the news. “I’ll think of something. There must be another way! We’ll definitely be able to think of something.”
The two embraced each other Lightly. At this moment, they just wanted to meld their body as close as possible.
It seemed that this was the only way they could feel each other’s existence and that she wouldn’t disappear. Dorothy suddenly said, “Hubby, let’s have a baby!”
“Huh?”
“Let’s have a baby while I’m still conscious and myself before I become another woman!” Dorothy seemed to have made up her mind. “That way, even if one day I wake up and become Xienna and don’t know you or love you anymore, we’ll already have a child, proof of our love! That will be the continuation of our love, the testimony of our marriage, and… Proof that Dorothy
Assex had once been part of this world.”
Alex could feel that he was about to cry. “No, it won’t happen.”
“I’ve already thought about it,” Dorothy said. “Don’t you still have Daya? And Waltz and Maya… I already know that Maya likes you a lot! While we were still in school, I could already tell. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have come to my office at Dorothy-Alex Constructions. I won’t stop you anymore. You can marry them, take in a few more wives. Our children will also have a few mothers!”
“No, I can’t promise that! How could I? Alex was emotional. “Our children will only have you as their mother, and no one else will ever be their real mother.”
“Then, do you agree to have a baby with me? I want to have one now! I want to give you a few babies, hubby! I’ll have twins first, then quadruplets!”
“Okay, we’ll have as many as you want.”
Dorothy was probably shocked and incredibly emotional right now as she embraced Alex. She stood on tiptoes and kissed him.
Not far off from here, in this unknown village, a couple was entangled in each other’s arms. In this house that belonged to a stranger, Alex and Dorothy fell on a stranger’s bed. They worked hard to create more little people.
As for Old Whitey, this shy, female cat, it had already snuck out long ago.
***
Without knowing it, the entire night passed. The couple who were in distress, Alex and Dorothy, tried repeatedly in this unknown place to create life.
On the second day, they woke up.
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 1652
Alex found that his phone had run out of battery.
Dorothy and Alex didn’t get up, and they remained in each other’s arms, discussing the next step.
“I will take one-third of the spiritual stones from the storage bag,” Dorothy said. “But, I don’t need any of them, and I won’t cultivate anymore! Even so, my cultivation level is still increasing. I will take the stones back to the Four Great Princesses and Zella. These people will be under you from now on.”
“My wife, don’t be so discouraged.” Alex caressed the smooth skin of her lower abdomen. “My children will definitely have their mother!”
After a pause, he said, “I’m not one without hidden trump cards, my dear wife. There’s one thing I’ve never talked about. More than half a year ago, when my mother was still in a coma, do you remember the day of your mother’s birthday when I had nowhere to go and went to borrow half a million from your mother? Because of that, Spark took advantage of the situation
and almost remarried you.”
Dorothy was annoyed. “Why are you talking about this? I will never remarry another person!”
“Hehe, I still remember that someone had nodded in agreement.”
“Humph! That was because Spark collaborated with your grandfather to deceive me! If I were in that position now, I’d just kill the entire Rockefeller family,” the woman said angrily. She felt that she had been a fool in the past, being deceived and led around by the nose so easily.
“Alright, let’s not talk about that! That night, after I was kicked out of your house, I met Lord Lex! It happened to be my birthday that day, and Lord Lex came over to give me ten billion dollars and also a ring!”
“What? Then, when you said you had ten billion back then, was it real?”
“Of course it was real. I wouldn’t lie about such a thing.”
“Lord Lex was so generous? Why would he do that?”
“Because,” Alex said, “My father originally founded Thousand Miles Conglomerate, and the entire thing belongs to me! Only, while Rockefeller Group operates above ground, Thousand Miles Conglomerate operates from the shadows! That’s not the important point. The point is, the ring my father left me is a real treasure, and it’s an heirloom that has been passed down in my family. My medical skills and cultivation started from that ring, where there was an inheritance left behind by my ancestors, God of Medicine!”
Dorothy was dumbfounded.
Alex laughed. “Are you surprised? If you hadn’t gone through your current transformation, I planned to take this secret to the grave! So, I’m not a person who’s cut off from everyone else. For my father to leave that ring behind, he must have known something! If I can find my father or even my ancestor, we should be able to think of something to relieve your current crisis.”
A rekindled hope flared inside Dorothy. “Okay! We’ll do our best to find Dad!”
While Alex and Dorothy had been enjoying each other during the entire night, poor Anna and Captain Gillett had been checking the surveillance videos the whole night without any success.
Anna couldn’t get in contact with Alex and was extremely worried.
It wasn’t until noon when Alex gave Anna a call. “Anna, you don’t have to look at the surveillance videos anymore. We’ve found our target!”
“Ah, Master. Have you found it? Was it really a demon?”
“You’ll know if you come over and take a look”
Alex sent the address of where they were to Anna.
The corpse of Carol’s ghost child was still in this house, and it was the culprit who had sucked out the blood essence of others!
There was still someone pulling strings behind the ghost child.
After the call was cut, Alex looked at the bed and found Dorothy in an attractive position. His mouth was dry as he said, “My dear wife, which idiot were you listening to that doing handstands can increase the chance of getting pregnant?”
“Of course, it’s true,” Dorothy said.
“I’m pretty sure I know my things better,” Alex said. “I’m definitely vital enough. I can run to Michigan from here, after all. I’m more worried that there’s too much vitality, and what if you gave birth to decaplets? Will your stomach be able to take it?”
“Get lost!”
“Hehehe…”
Taking advantage of the fact that Anna would still need some time before arriving, Alex took in Dorothy’s appearance and leaned over.
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 1653
“Ahh!”
“What is this?!”
Anna and Captain Gillett had arrived together because Captain Gillett had been the one in charge of the case. Now that the case had been solved, he would naturally come along.
When he saw the ghost child Carol Rockefeller had borne on the ground, he yelled out in fright and almost fell to the ground on his butt. The ghost child was too scary, and not just because of his facial appearance. His body had been cut in half by Alex, and although the ghost child had reconnected the rotten meat that was his body, there was still a big hole.
It didn’t look human at all.
By this time, Dorothy had already left.
“This is what you’ve been looking for,” Alex said. “Don’t think that he’s human just because he looks like one. It’s… A monster!”
Anna covered her mouth. “This thing is hideous. It doesn’t fit the image of a demon in my mind at all. Master, do you want to report this matter? For such a hideous demon like this to exist in this country, it’s outrageous!”
“You can report it,” Alex said.
The higher-ups of the country, especially the one standing at the highest of them all, definitely knew of the existence of demons well. They should be more aware of it than anyone else, so it shouldn’t matter if this matter was reported.
After leaving the matter in Anna’s hands, Alex left the mountain village. He rushed to California’s Premier Hospital.
Charles’s blood essence was in his hands.
“Uncle!”
When Alex walked in, he was met with the daughter of Charles and Hailey, Zoey Carter.
Hailey was also nearby.
“Brother Alex, how did it go? Do you have any news?” Charles sat up with a nervous smile on his face. In just a day, evidence of his aging had already shown on his face. After his blood essence was stolen, he hadn’t looked so bad on the first day. But now, on just the second day, his appearance had already changed so much.
At this moment, Charles’ face was not only covered in wrinkles, his hair had also begun to tum gray. It had also shed a lot.
This was because his body lacked nutrients, and the blood essence taken from him had been too much.
Wisteria Haines would definitely not have used the method of bedding humans to extract their blood essence but instead, suck it out through their mouth. This method was more harmful than the former, and not to mention that she was a half-demon… She had taken too much.
Zoey had been shocked to see her father in such a state. He looked even older than her grandfather!
Alex hugged Zoey and glanced at Hailey. He spoke to Hailey telepathically, “Sister Hailey, do you want to take Zoey and leave for a bit? I’ll handle things with Brother Charles here.”
Hailey nodded and pulled Zoey, leaving the room.
“Brother Charles, I found the person and also got something back. But, there is something about this situation that you need to know. Your youth and blood essence were forcefully sucked away, and it wasn’t done carefully. I’ll help you return some of the blood essences you’ve lost, but as for your youth… It may not be able to restore much.”
“To what extent will I be able to recover?” Charles asked.
“Recovering your health shouldn’t be a problem,” Alex said. “But in terms of appearance, you have to be prepared mentally! I’ll find a way to make you a Rejuvenation Pill after this matter has been settled, but at most, it would return you to how your father looked.”
“My father…” When Charles heard this, regret coursed through him.
He hit his head with his hands, crying bitterly, “I shouldn’t have done this! Never! I am reaping what I sowed, d*mn it! If I knew that this would happen, I wouldn’t have agreed to go to that cocktail party. That old goat! It’s because of him I turned out like this!”
How was he supposed to go out and meet people after he looked as old as his father?!
Alex sighed. This was the limit of what he could do. Others who had encountered something like Charles hadn’t been so lucky.
The older man in their group had already died. The others were all in the hospital, and although Alex had gotten all the blood essence back from the fox half-demon, it wasn’t like he planned to rush back to return it to them. It wasn’t that Alex wanted to just stand at the side and not save them, but to return blood essence that had been drawn out into their body was not an easy task.
Alex would have to use up a lot of energy to do it.
He wasn’t in the mood to waste too much energy on those guys who fooled around with women. Alex was going to do it for Charles because of their friendship… And this friendship of theirs was because of Hailey. If it was just based on Charles alone, it wouldn’t have been enough.
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 1654
Half an hour later, Alex walked out of the ward.
Charles had already fallen asleep, and compared to how he looked half an hour ago, he looked a little better now, and his condition seemed to have improved a bit.
“How is he?” Hailey asked from where she was outside the ward when she saw Alex.
Alex could see that the concern Hailey had for Charles right now was a little forced. Their marriage was already on the rock, and Charles’ appearance now would only make things worse. Could Hailey bear the fact that her husband now looked like an old man? More importantly, he had become like this because he was off doing those kinds of things.
“Sister Hailey, I’ve already tried my best. You can go in and see him!”
“What? You… What does that mean? Is he dying?” Hailey was shocked.
“No, he’s not dying! He just needs proper care, and it’ll be fine. I’m leaving first.”
“How despicable! You almost scared me to death!” After resolving the matter with Charles, Alex left the hospital and finally returned to Rockefeller Manor. He had been gone for a month, and when he reunited with his family, the atmosphere was relaxing, not to mention fun.
In the next few days, Alex began his complicated and difficult days. Alchemy, researching the formation of the Dragon’s Bane of Thirty Six, cultivating, and accepting the teasing from his girls.
Life was calm but fulfilling at the same time.
Alex received a call from Luna. “Alex, do you miss your queen?”
Alex looked around and said, “I do.”
He really did!
The two had lived together for a month in the Spiritual Valley Dungeon and had done all sorts of crazy things together every day. As a result, the sudden separation was a little uncomfortable.
“I miss you, too. My body misses you. I really want to be…” Luna said.
Alex felt it more intensely once he heard that. “Where are you now?”
Luna smiled. “Do you intend to come to look for me? You can’t! I’m waiting to enter the ancient forcefield now, and I won’t be out anytime soon.”
“Huh?”
“Remember to miss me! Oh… It’s my turn already? Alex, I have to go now, can’t talk! Bye… Ah, Second Aunt, why have you come out…”
Beep beep beep…
The call was cut off.
Alex huffed. This woman had called him just to tease him and then left for the ancient forcefield. Wasn’t she just so irresponsible?!
‘Second Aunt… I seem to recall that Luna’s aunt was that… Commander Benmore, who is the only Five-star Warlord in America.
‘What a legend! I really hope I have a chance to meet her.’
Those were Alex’s thoughts, and there was a little longing in his heart to see the scene in the ancient forcefield. However, he never expected that he would have the chance to meet the Five-star Warlord that evening after he had just been thinking about it in the morning.
Wallace gave Alex a call, “Master Alex, do you have some free time right now?”
“Oh, it’s you, Wallace,” Alex said. “What is it?”
“So,” Wallace replied, “I received a notice from the higher-ups that they want me to use my medical skills to heal the only Five-star Warlord in the country. I’m a little nervous that something might happen by accident, so could you please accompany me?”
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 1655
“The only Five-star Warlord in America? Are you talking about Commander Benmore?” Alex asked without much thought. A shock ran through his body. Such a super awesome existence had actually come out to see medical treatment?
What did that show?
That the battle within the ancient forcefield must be very dire and intense.
Wallace was obviously stumped by Alex’s question and said, “I don’t know about that. To be honest, I didn’t know there was a Five-star Warlord in our country before this, and I heard that it’s also a woman. I spent most of my life in Alaska, and in the end, I’m still only a doctor. I’m an amateur when it comes to dealing with the upper echelons.”
Alex nodded. “Alright, where are you now? I’ll head over to you!”
“It’s fine. I’m rushing over now,” Wallace said. That commander will be in Michigan’s Military Premier Hospital for consultation. I won’t be the only doctor attending for the consultation, and there should be no less than twenty famous doctors from all over the country.”
“Oh…” Alex was stunned but soon felt relieved.
Commander Benmore’s position as a commander was extremely important, as she was the leader of the combat troops in the ancient forcefield. It would cause a series of chain reactions if anything were to happen to her. In this case, the treatment needed to be quick.
“Alright, I’m in California now. I’ll head over right away!”
“By the way, I want to bring another person.”
“Who?” Wallace asked cautiously.
“Cheryl Coney, James Coney’s granddaughter. Her medical skills are not what they used to be, and she’s the real future Immortal Doctor and has received the inheritance.”
Wallace was excited. “Yes, of course!”
***
Alex made two consecutive calls to Cheryl, but both failed to go through.
Just as he was planning to head out to find her personally, Maya Howards walked over to him donned in a suit, a pencil skirt, and her long legs were wrapped in black stockings. As she walked, she smelled like a mature woman.
“Sister Maya!” Alex called out, thinking that she was here to look for him.
However, he was wrong because she waved back at him and said, “Brother, aren’t you going out today? Staying at home all day is boring. Why not have Waltz accompany you to a movie? There’s a horror movie that’s been released recently. I heard it’s pretty good.”
As she spoke, she brushed past him, walking in quickly. She looked like she was in a hurry.
Alex couldn’t help but follow her in. “Sister Maya, what are you in such a hurry for?”
“I came to get a document,” Maya replied, “I prepared it yesterday, but then I forgot it! It’s an important document! Now that Lush Cosmetics is blooming all over the country, it’s time to enter the foreign market. At that time, you might become the richest man in the world!”
Alex smiled.
The world’s richest man, he had thought about it before.
However, he had experienced many more things after that, especially understanding the ancient mysteries of the country, and his mindset had changed. Money was no longer the priority on his list…
In fact, from the time Lord Lex had given him the ten billion, he had never thought about the issue of money. Making money had been done because it had come without much effort, and Lush Cosmetics was just something to reinvigorate his mother. He never expected that the two women would take Lush Cosmetics to a height unattainable by others.
He had heard about it previously, about how several internationally renowned female celebrities had found Lush Cosmetics and were willing to pay them to allow the celebrities to advertise for them.
What in the world was this concept?
It was because the products of Lush Cosmetics had caught their eyes, and with the help of Lush Cosmetics’s products, it helped them increase their popularity as celebrities.
Maya pinched Alex’s face and then turned to leave.
Alex grabbed her to stop her and said, “There isn’t much point in making so much money. The future development definitely won’t be measured by money, but by an individual’s strength! Maya, I have a foreboding that there will be a crisis in the future, and we need to be prepared for it.”
“What crisis?”
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 1656
“A big cataclysmic change.”
“Have you been reading too many novels?” Maya asked with a smile. “The waistband of my skirt is a little loose. Please adjust it for me.”
Alex was taken aback, but he smiled bitterly and nodded. As expected, not everyone would believe his prediction before anything big happened. If even Maya wouldn’t believe him, what more the others?
The moment he said that out loud, they would only treat him like a crazy person.
However, he had a strong feeling. He felt a connection between the skeleton army in the Spiritual Valley Dungeon and the monsters in the ancient forcefield. The feeling only intensified after watching the two memory images that Old Whitey had shown him.
“Look at my waist. Has it gotten thinner again?”
“Huh? It looks like it!”
“You can help me measure it tonight.”
“Uh… Okay.”
“Then, I’ll leave now. I need to use this in the meeting!” Maya lightly bit his chin, then walked away quickly.
Alex watched her leave, and his phone rang.
It was Cheryl. “Alex, sorry about that. I was swimming with Phoebe, and I didn’t hear the phone.”
“Huh? You’re with Phoebe?”
“Yeah! I have officially taken over Mercy Cancer Hospital. Shamus Wilson is an outstanding senior. I could stabilize the situation here so quickly with his help! It’s really too tiring these days, so I came to hang out with Phoebe to relax a little.”
“You’re in Michigan?”
“Yeah…”
As soon as she said this, Alex could hear Phoebe talking. “What are you doing? We said we’d do three laps, but you’re talking to your boyfriend on the phone? Hey, Alex, I’m borrowing your girlfriend. You don’t have anything against it, right?”
Alex touched his nose. He seemed amazed at the moment.
His relationship with Phoebe had already broken through the supposed boundaries earlier on, but she didn’t say anything to Phoebe. Instead, she pretended to be ordinary friends with Alex. She said she would deal with Cheryl before they fell out, and it seemed that it wasn’t just all talk.
Only, he didn’t know. How was she going to deal with Cheryl?
Alex smiled and said, “I don’t have a problem with that. No matter how much you mess around, it’s not like you can get pregnant.”
With that one sentence, Cheryl flushed red with embarrassment.
Phoebe instead said, “Who says so? Believe it or not, I can sneak into the hospital and steal a few seeds to plant in your girlfriend’s belly and make you a father in the future.”
“Phoebe, you hoodlum!” Cheryl protested loudly.
Then, Alex heard some screaming over the phone. He didn’t know what exactly the two girls were doing, but they must have looked very seductive since they were wearing swimsuits.
“Cheryl, I’ll be heading to Michigan soon to attend a consultation for some big shot,” Alex said. “The person is a woman, so I think it would be better if you go with me.”
Cheryl agreed immediately. “Alright.”
Then, the two agreed to meet at the entrance of the Military Premier Hospital in an hour. Before he left, Alex tossed two Spiritual Demon Pills into the Hell Fish in the pond.
Then, he summoned the Sword of the Universe and rushed to Michigan.
At 11 o’clock, the three of them met up at the entrance of the hospital.
Wallace was the best imperial doctor in the entire country, and no one said anything about him bringing along two assistants to the consultation.
Another half an hour later, Alex caught sight of the legendary Five-star Warlord.
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 1657
How would one put this in words?
Two words, ‘So young!’
The legendary Five-star Warlord was just too young.
Alex sat behind Wallace and watched as she walked in from the door. She looked bold and formidable, graceful with a great posture, and she wore a uniform. It was like looking at someone his age.
Alex immediately used his Third Eye to look over her. The biggest thing he could feel was that the woman’s Chi was so strong that it even diminished his own, and even with his Third Eye, he couldn’t see anything specific about her physical condition, nor her cultivation level.
Eight strong men followed behind Jade Benmore.
The Chi and blood energy of these people were powerful, like severe floods and fierce beasts. The strong Chi seemed to gush out from their bodies, and they weren’t bothered with suppressing it either.
‘Eight masters! Definitely top masters!’
‘Of these eight, any single one of them could beat me to the ground, and there are eight of them here! I really can’t underestimate the people in the world.’
Alex was very shocked. When he looked at Jade, his eyes were filled with fire as he thought to himself, ‘If even her subordinates are this strong, then how much stronger is she?’
Perhaps it was because Alex’s gaze was too direct and too sharp, Jade could feel it. She whipped her head around abruptly, her bright eyes locking with Alex’s.
Whoosh!
For an instant, Alex felt as though he was being looked at by gods or Buddha.
Goosebumps appeared on his skin, and all the hairs were standing on the ends. The stress and pressure he felt were tremendous.
At the same time, the eight subordinates under Jade also instantly spread their senses and glared at Alex. One of them stepped out fiercely, his body tensed, as though a coil waiting to unsprung at any time to take Alex down.
Jade’s safety was paramount for protecting the world, and there was absolutely no room for loss. Especially now, when she was seriously injured, they couldn’t afford to be complacent.
They would rather kill first and ask questions later than make the mistake of letting it go.
“Stop!”
Jade held up her hand.
The man who had just been about to take a shot immediately came to a halt as he was abruptly blocked.
“Commander, there’s something wrong with the kid’s eyes!” the man said aloud.
Everyone turned to look at Alex.
There were twenty or so famous doctors present and the disciples and assistants they brought along on top of that. There were nearly fifty people in the room, and all of them looked at Alex angrily.
How dare this kid behave unruly toward the Five-star Warlord? How bold he was!
The person in charge of Michigan’s Military Premier Hospital was also on scene, and he stood up immediately, pointing at Alex’s nose. “Who are you? Get out!”
Alex frowned. He didn’t expect such a twist of events. He had just looked slightly longer at Jade, and with admiration… He wasn’t even allowed to look at her?!
Initially, he had a good impression of Luna’s second aunt. She was, after all, a warrior who killed their enemies on the front line and was worthy of respect. However, it was too overbearing to be singled out and targeted after meeting just a short while. The impression he had toward her in his heart dropped rapidly in an instant.
“What do you mean my gaze is wrong? Did I look at something I wasn’t supposed to or at someone?” Alex stood up.
“How dare you talk back? Speak, who are you, and who let you in?!” The person in charge, who was also the dean of the hospital named Damian Yoke, said rudely and coldly.
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 1658
Wallace couldn’t sit still anymore, so he stood up and said, “I was the one who brought him here.”
“Wallace Yoke?!”
Wallace was the best imperial doctor in the country, and Damian Yoke knew that. Both of them had the same surname, after all. There was a saying that scholars would never boast about their work being the best in the world, while martial artists would boast that they were never second best to anyone. In the field of medicine, this saying applied the same.
To become the dean of Military Premier Hospital, Damian also used to be a big shot in medicine, and he was also once an imperial doctor. Unfortunately, when people spoke of imperial doctors nowadays, they would only think of Wallace Yoke and not him, Damian Yoke.
Therefore, Damian blamed this part of the loss on Wallace.
Wasn’t this the best opportunity to strike back at Wallace, in that case?
“Wallace Yoke, what the hell are you doing?” Damian pointed at Wallace. “Do you know what today is? It’s the day we are to give a consultation to the only Five-star Warlord in the country, and you’ve brought such a guy who can’t even open his eyes properly. Look around you. Even though there are many assistants here, they are all experts in the hospitals they work at. Look at the two you’ve brought, one doesn’t know how to keep his eyes to himself, and the other is still a child! I know that you’ve brought some apprentices due to your favor and want to give them a little benefit, and it’s usually fine, but is this the right time? You’ve been disrespectful to Commander Benmore, and it’s like you don’t place any importance on her.”
What a load of bullsh*t!
Wallace’s anger shot through the roof. “Damian Yoke, you… You are so insistent on condemning me, and you’re not bothered with the context at all! This is your turf anyway, and I don’t have any power here. If you’re not happy with my presence, then I will leave!”
Then, he paid obeisance to Jade and said, “Commander Benmore, please accept my sincere apologies. Forgive my ignorance, and I am not qualified to treat you. I will take my leave!”
Damian snorted coldly. “Wallace Yoke, who are you putting on an act for? Do you think that without you, the entire country will have no doctors to go to? You’re not even going to show an ounce of respect to Commander Bemnore by staying, and you’re still talking to her?”
“I don’t have anything to say to you,” Wallace replied. Having said that, he turned and left.
Damian immediately pointed at Alex and Cheryl. “Are you still not getting lost? How unaware of your positions are you? Medicine is a rigorous field, and it’s not that a small amount of money will make you a doctor in a few days.”
Alex looked at him, then shook his head. He reached out and pulled Cheryl, “Let’s go! Some people think that just because they stand in a high position, they can look down on everyone else in the world. As everyone knows, there is always a higher mountain behind them. Someone like you is not suitable to be a hospital dean.”
Damian was furious. “Boy, you dare to talk to me like this? Even your master, Wallace Yoke, doesn’t dare to talk to me like that!”
“Hahaha!” Alex laughed. “Wallace’s reputation as the best imperial doctor in the country isn’t something fabricated from nothing. You are both doctors, and there is only one possibility why he has to bow down to you, and it’s that he can’t afford to offend you! But not in terms of the medical field. It’s probably because of the power standing behind you! Do you think that you
can heal Commander Benmore’s injuries with just authority?”
“You…”
Alex stopped talking, then glanced at Jade for two seconds, the disappointment evident in his eyes.
Cheryl just hummed in reply.
All the people present here were big shots in the medicine field and so many of them. Cheryl had seen their faces on social media and newspapers, never having the chance to meet them in person. So, she was a little timid and could not be as bold as Alex.
The three of them walked out the door together. Damian looked at Wallace with a sneer on his face, and on the inside, he thought, ‘Commander Benmore’s identity is not trivial, and this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. How could I give it to you? After you leave, I’ll be the one to have the chance to treat the commander!’
“Hold it!” At this moment, Jade called out calmly. “You, come here!”
She had pointed at Alex.
Alex was taken aback, but he didn’t walk over.
However, the eight subordinates under Jade were unhappy and immediately furious. “What are you standing in a daze for? The commander asked for you to come here. Are you deaf?”
Jade waved her hand to quiet the crowd down. Then, she asked, “What is the relationship between you and Luna?”
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 1659
Alex was stunned. On the inside, he thought, ‘Could it be that Luna had told her all about them when she had met with Jade Benmore before this?’
However, she had agreed that she wouldn’t publicize this matter.
He didn’t know that Jade hadn’t heard about what happened between them from Luna but through her eyes. Alex and Luna had lived together in the Spiritual Valley Dungeon for a month, and they had been intimate with no limits during that time. The demonic and regular Chi were in harmony and entangled with each other. There was a strong presence of Luna’s aura in him.
Others may not be able to tell, but Jade was well aware of Luna’s situation.
So, when Alex was looking at her earlier, she could already tell.
“We’re friends!” Alex replied.
“Only friends?” Jade’s eyes were as sharp as knives.
Alex didn’t know what she meant by that, but he nodded after hearing that.
Jade pointed at Cheryl. “Who is she to you?”
Alex was even more confused.
Not only him, everyone present found it strange. Jade seemed to have some relation to this kid!
Only Damian had a strange expression on his face. He had just said that Alex was worthless, and if Alex had some connections to Jade, then hadn’t he just offended her?
“She… Is also my friend!”
“Girlfriend?”
“Yes!”
Alex couldn’t deny this relationship in front of Cheryl. In the next instant, Jade exploded for no reason. Her palm lashed out, hitting Alex’s chest.
Whoosh!
Alex’s Mystic Armor came up immediately from the assault.
However, Jade’s blow had shattered through the armor’s defense in one hit, and the imprint of her palm was firmly planted on Alex’s chest.
Boom!
Alex flew through the air, crashing through the wall that was five meters behind him. He felt the metallic taste in his throat, and he spat out a mouthful of blood.
“Ahhh!”
“Alex, Alex…”
Cheryl hurriedly walked through the busted wall, cradling Alex. Her heart filled with rage. “You’re too much! Even if you’re a Five-star Warlord, you can’t just go around beating people up! He kindly traveled from California to treat you. How has he offended you? Why must you treat him like this?”
Jade snorted coldly. “Why don’t you ask him what has he done? It’s hard to say if he would still be standing and alive if he had met Luna’s mother instead of me here today.”
Alex was very familiar with Luna. That was referring to her body.
However, in regards to her family, he wasn’t really familiar.
He only knew that Luna’s mother was Old Moon Devil. Luna had warned him before that the matter between them should never be mentioned. Otherwise, there would be serious consequences.
He didn’t put much thought into it before, but now he saw that it was probably more serious than he thought it was.
Wallace initially wanted to speak up for Alex, but with the current situation, the more he intercedes for Alex, the more afraid he was that the Five-star Warlord would be angrier and would take even heavier action.
He was a mature old man, and he knew when he should talk and when he should stay silent. So, he changed his target and said, “Dean Yoke, you’re the dean of this hospital. Hurry up and arrange a ward. Alex is coughing up blood, and he came with me to treat Commander Benmore. If anything happens, the reputation of this hospital will not be good, right?”
“F*ck off! I don’t even know what nasty thing this sh”tty kid has done. It’s good enough that I didn’t ask him to compensate for my wall already! ” Damian replied.
“That’s fine. I’ll think of another way.”
Wallace immediately acknowledged this matter, and with Cheryl’s help, they dragged Alex out of the hospital.
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 1660
“That… Whatever Five-star Warlord is so unreasonable. I was surprised how such a young woman could become a Five-star Warlord? The title must have been bought through connections or money, that’s what I think.” Cheryl was filled with righteous indignation. Seeing her sweetheart being beaten to the point he coughed up blood, she was sorely tempted to fight against that woman herself.
Alex, who had been walking like a dying man, suddenly pressed his hand on Cheryl’s mouth.
“Don’t talk nonsense!”
Cheryl was taken aback. “Alex, you’re okay?”
Wallace was also a little surprised. “Master Alex, earlier… You were only pretending?”
Alex wiped away the blood with his hand and said in a low voice, “It’s not all pretending. The blood is real, and that woman is really powerful. That’s the first time I’ve seen someone like that! Even if we’re outside the hospital and standing here talking, perhaps she can still hear us!”
Just now, Alex could feel that woman exploring his body. He had a feeling like he had been stripped.
More importantly, Jade Benmore’s attention had been focused on his mind palace.
The moment when Jade’s palm had touched his body, the Chaos Bead in his mind palace had taken the initiative to protect its host, wanting to jump out immediately, but was suppressed abruptly by Alex. If the Chaos Bead had been too active, Jade would be able to detect it. If she was greedy and wanted to take the Chaos Bead for herself, what could he do?
Therefore, he couldn’t expose the Chaos Bead even if he got injured. When Wallace and Cheryl heard this, they shut up immediately.
The three of them left Military Premier Hospital quickly.

In the consultation room, Damian was still taking the chance to bring down Wallace.
“Humph, just because Wallace is famous among the common folks, he doesn’t know his position anymore! He even dared to leave during the consultation for Commander Benmore…”
Jade glanced at him. “Enough. Dean Yoke, let’s start!”
Each of her men immediately pulled out a bag of documents.
One of them said, “This is the inspection report our commander had done previously. You can have a look at it first.”
All the doctors in the room didn’t dare to dilly dally and immediately stood up. When they looked at the report, half of them were immediately confused. There was so much data and information in the report that they didn’t know what it represented.
Damian was an imperial doctor.
On the other hand, he was unwilling to admit that Wallace’s medical skills were better than him, and he always thought himself to be the best in the country. The title of being the best imperial doctor had been hyped up by the common folk and given to Wallace, so Damian was unwilling to accept it.
He took a look at the report at this time and said, “Commander Benmore, this… You were poisoned?”
Jade nodded. “I was bitten by a beast.”
“Then, may I look at the wound?” Damian asked.
Jade’s subordinates were hard-pressed not to slap the man in the face. “Preposterous! As a commander, her body is priceless, and she is also a woman. Her wound is on her thigh. How can we allow you to see it?!”
After he said that, Jade stood up. She placed one long leg on the stool and grabbed her trousers with both hands.
Riiip!
She tore her trousers open, revealing… A black thigh.
“What…?!”
Everyone exclaimed in surprise when they saw it. There was a massive wound on her thigh, and the skin and flesh didn’t cover it. From the wound itself to the surrounded area, it was all pitch black and large patches. Some areas had begun to rot, and black liquid seeped out of it.
Dragging such a leg here, how was she able to walk in such a dignified and graceful manner?
If it were anyone else, they would already be lying on the ground, unable to move.
After Damian had looked at it, he was extremely shocked and said, “The poison has already progressed to this extent, and it looks like… Amputation is the only way left!”
Jade’s subordinates immediately said, “No amputation! The commander’s health is paramount to the safety of the country. None of her limbs can be amputated. If that’s the only way, why would we have called for famous doctors like you?”
