The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 1671
Alex looked at Nora with disdain.
‘You’re already this old. What else have you not seen before? Do you need to be so dramatic?’
However, it was pretty disgusting indeed.
“Wallace, don’t look at it anymore. The detoxification will take a while. I just feel hungry now. Let’s head to the hotel restaurant for a meal!” Alex said to Wallace after dealing with the filth on his body.
“What? Do you guys still have the appetite for a meal after seeing such things?” Nora stared at Alex as if she was looking at a monster.
“What’s the big deal? Sis, if you have free time, you can use a microscope to look at your body. Countless microbes that are more disgusting than these things are living all over your body, especially where hair is growing but cannot be seen. There are even more bacteria in that area, with millions or billions of them!”
Nora wanted to vomit again. However, a whim struck her, ‘Doesn’t ‘where hair is growing but cannot be seen’ mean…’
“Oh my, you little b*stard just made fun of me. Who would use a microscope to look at that area? Do you look at it often? Let me see how many bacteria you have.”
Rip!
As a sound was made, Alex’s pants were brutally torn off.
“F*ck!”
Alex was shocked as he hurriedly covered his private parts.
‘This Nora Stewart must have become a rogue after being on the battlefield for a long time!’
When Wallace saw the scene, he just smiled without saying a word.
‘Immortal Doctor is a medical saint who can take on any woman. Although this subordinate of the Five-star Warlord has a strangely high level of martial arts, she has to suffer a setback in front of the Immortal Doctor too!’
In the end, Nora did not go for dinner. She kept guarding Jade’s leg.
At first, she just felt it was disgusting, but she realized that the maggots had stopped moving after a while, they were all dead! On the other hand, the earthworms also started floating on the water one after another…
These earthworms’ bodies were much larger than before, and they were all black. This was because they had absorbed the toxin in the leg into their bodies. Meanwhile, Jade’s leg was no longer as dark as before but had started to turn fair.
‘It really works!’ Nora looked at them in surprise. At this moment, she no longer felt that these little creatures were disgusting. Compared to her sister’s leg, it was nothing at all.
At the same time, Alex, who was having dinner at the hotel restaurant, received a call from Maya. The woman snarled on the phone, “Do you know what kind of ugly behavior that Miki Consortium’s guy from Japan has made in the meeting today? He wanted to take up 90% of our Lush Cosmetics’ profit. What wishful thinking! He even said that he wanted to block us. He’s just a Japanese fellow. What right does he have to brag in America? I got angry and gave him a tight slap right away.”
Alex rarely saw Maya so angry.
After comforting her softly with a few words, he asked, “What’s Miki Consortium?”
Maya said, “It’s a Japanese company that was founded with biotechnology. Their products are quite well-known internationally and have many international trade routes under their belt. They had taken the initiative to show up at our doorstep and wanted to sell our products! I have discussed with Mom and felt that honoring their channel to get through the gateways of various countries would be the fastest way. I didn’t expect this Miki Consortium would be so greedy to treat us as pigs to be slaughtered and are asking for 90% of the profit.”
Alex said with a smile, “Why do you have to be so angry? It takes a lot to make a world. Japan has a lot of weirdos, so it’s also normal to have a Miki Consortium onboard! As for Lush Cosmetics’ overseas exportation, it’s not necessary to collaborate with someone else. We can set up an international business department ourselves. With our products, there’s no problem with it at all.”
Maya said, “Bro, you don’t understand this. Every country has different policies. It’s a complicated matter for a purely new enterprise to get through so many channels.”
Alex said, “Alright, alright. You people are good at making money. I won’t comment on it, but you can’t forfeit your cultivation base! I’m now in Michigan, and I’ve met a Five-star Warlord. When I come back later, I’ll tell you guys something.”
“A Five-star Warlord? Does our nation have such a figure?”
“Yes! She’s a woman too!”
“Oh gosh! Do you have any photos? Let me have a look.”
“I’ll ask later if I can get a group photo.”
Then, the call ended.
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 1672
Wallace said, “Master Rockefeller, did Miki Consortium from Japan contact Lush Cosmetics?”
Alex said with a smile, “Wallace, you know about Miki Consortium too?”
Wallace snorted coldly. “It’s notorious! This Miki Consortium isn’t a good company, and they are known to be hooligans in the business circles. My son once dealt with them, but the business deal had failed to be negotiated. So, they resorted to dirty tricks by breaking both of my son’s legs.”
“Is that so?”
“Miki Consortium is powerful in Japan. Rumor has it that they have a dark background.”
Alex smiled. Each person on his side could stop a hundred enemies, so he just had to wait for them to come over.
He texted Maya in the Line app to remind her about this matter and not worry about it later. With Maya and Brittany’s shrewdness, they would definitely know how to handle it.
***
He went back to the hotel room. Nora seemed very excited. “Rockefeller brat, it works! It works!”
“Sis’s leg has turned fair after the toxins inside it have been removed.”
Wallace was the first person to rush over to take a look. Then, he beat his chest. “Oh my, why did I go for dinner? I’ve missed such a magical moment just like this.”
Alex said, “Wallace, what’s so magical about this? The medicinal herbs you’ve bought were used to catalyze the secretion of a liquid from the earthworms. It has the effects of detoxification and muscle growth. It can even absorb the toxin, by the way. The Zharvakko talisman that I’ve used earlier was to make the injury on the leg heal quickly.”
He looked into the bathtub and said, “It’s almost done!”
After the entire leg had been taken out and rinsed clean, what the three people saw was a flawless leg. Furthermore, it even had vitality in it.
When Alex checked Jade’s pulse earlier, the spiritual power that rushed into her body would be devoured. However, it did not happen when he had only this leg. He had used spiritual power to explore it meticulously, only to find an unbelievable phenomenon. The bones in Jade’s leg were actually golden.
There was a faint flow of runes on it.
‘Could it be that she has cultivated a certain body refinement art?’
In the legacy of his ancestors, he had seen many explanations about body refinement experts. Refining muscles and bones were the foundations. Some people managed to refine their bones into steel; some people managed to turn their bones into jades; some even carved runes on their bones to refine them into mystical tools.
‘Jade Benmore is awesome!’
“Hey, why are you hugging my sister’s leg? Could it be that you want to do something with this leg, just as Pedro said?” Nora extended her fingers and flicked Alex hard.
“Don’t get handsy. I’m checking the parts inside it.”
“Humph, you really treat this as a machine part?”
“In a doctor’s eyes, isn’t this just a machine part?” Alex touched the leg and then squeezed it. Finally, he even wrestled with the toes. In the end, he said, “Okay, let’s head back to find your sister!”
This time, Alex had wrapped Jade’s long leg in a piece of cloth.
Otherwise, it would be too flashy. With its fair and delicate skin, everyone could tell that it was a real leg.
Upon reaching Jade’s ward, they were stopped by Pedro and several members from Flying Eagles, saying that Jade was having a private discussion with the left-wing lieutenant’s son from Flying Eagles.
Nora was startled. “Colton Lawrence’s son? Which son of his?”
Pedro glanced at Alex and said, “Maxwell Lawrence.”
In that instant, Nora looked at Alex mockingly.
“Why are you guys looking at me?” Alex said, upset.
“Do you know who Maxwell Lawrence is? He’s Luna Flores’s fiancé!”
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 1673
“Ah..!”
Alex was stunned. At that instant, he was stressed out about the trouble.
Pedro was slightly delighted in his misfortune as he said, “Brat, you’ve gotten a headache this time, right? What kind of woman can’t be fooled around? That Luna…”
Nora hurriedly covered his mouth. “Do you want to get him killed?”
It seemed that the truth of the relationship between Alex and Luna that Jade had asked earlier had been exposed. Jade’s several subordinates were all aware of it.
Seeing Nora being so anxious about Alex’s life, he then took a glance at the cloth bag carried on Alex’s back and asked, “How’s Commander’s leg?”
Nora patted Alex’s shoulder. “When the little Immortal Doctor goes into action, he lives up to his name.”
Pedro was immediately overjoyed. “Really?”
In the ward, a tall man with an imposing manner stood in front of Jade’s bed. He clearly saw emptiness where Jade’s leg was supposed to be.
A hint of a sneer flashed in his eyes. He cupped his hands respectfully and said, “Commander Benmore, now you’re gravely injured, but the warfare in the frontline is tense. Just yesterday, the seventeenth base was captured by monsters. Many brothers have been injured and some dead! My dad said that this wave of monsters is too peculiar. There may be some reason behind it. He’s willing to lead the Dragon Fang Squad’s experts of Flying Eagles and personally infiltrate the enemy camp to investigate the reason.”
Jade looked at the snow-white bed sheet “Oh? Did your father say so?”
The man was Luna Flores’s fiancé, Maxwell Lawrence, he said, “It’s true. My dad has even issued a military order in public and vowed that he would not return if he can’t find the source.”
Jade’s eyebrows twitched as her eyes glinted with light like lightning. “Do you know what the Dragon Fang Squad represents? It’s the core battle squad of the entire Flying Eagles. Once it gets into a predicament after infiltrating the enemy camp, it will be a catastrophe to the entire Flying Eagles and America.”
Maxwell said, “I know. My dad knows too, but we have to give it a try. Otherwise, we’ll end up dead if we wait until the force field is destroyed! In addition to this leg of yours, Command er Beimiore, I’m afraid you won’t be able to enter the battlefield in the future. The frontline warfare is ever-changing, and we can’t have no leader for a single day.”
“So?”
“So, my dad wants to borrow your Commander’s Seal!”
“Hahahahaha!”
Jade laughed and said, “Are you sure that you’re not joking? The Commander’s Seal matters a great deal. It decides the direction of the combat coordination team in America. How can I give it to you for personal use? If your father wants the Commander’s Seal, he can apply for it with the coordination team.”
Maxwell shook his head and said, “Commander Benmore, we all have gone to the battlefield, but who in the coordination team has gone there? What do they know about it? Now the situation is urgent. If we let those old farts in the coordination team delay any longer, the chance will be all gone.”
Jade said, “Your father has given a lot of thought to it.”
Maxwell said, “Who wouldn’t say so? My dad has bravely fought and killed the enemies. Didn’t he do it for the sake of protecting our home and the nation? Is he someone who covets the Commander’s Seal? Is life important, or is authority more important? Commander Benmore, don’t you think so?”
Jade said, “Your father doesn’t have to worry about the infiltration of the enemy camp. I’ll go there and investigate it personally.”
Maxwell pointed at her missing leg. “But, you have lost one leg. How are you going to go there?”
Jade glanced at the entrance. As she stretched out her hand and grabbed the void, the ward’s door was opened. She said with a smile. “My leg is back!”
“What?”
Nora immediately pulled Alex along with her and walked in as she said, “Sis, your leg is cured. It’s fine!”
Alex unwrapped Jade’s leg from the cloth bag. It was a fair, perfect, and beautiful leg.
Whoosh!
As Jade waved her hand, the open cloth was wrapped once again. She stared at Alex, annoyed, and then said to Maxwell, “Go back and tell your father. I’ll return to the battlefield in three days. You’ll get him to retreat and defend Ninth City. Even if the entire army is wiped out, he has to defend Ninth City!”
Maxwell’s eyebrows twitched wildly. He looked at Alex and asked, “Who is he?”
Once Jade thought that Alex had deflowered Luna and Maxwell had been cuckolded, she instantly felt joyous. At this moment, she looked at Alex again. He did not seem so despicable anymore.
“Oh, him. He’s just an insignificant figure. He’s incomparable with you, the left-wing Vanguard! You should go back first!”
The implied message was, ‘He’s such an insignificant figure who has won Luna’s heart and has you cuckolded.’
“Your leg… This…”
“Are you not leaving yet? Are you going to be responsible for delaying the military intelligence?”
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 1674
“Yes! I’ll contact my dad right now!”
After that, Maxwell did not look at Alex anymore. Among the people of the same ages as him, Maxwell regarded himself as the most dazzling one. Other people were no different than trash.
Once Maxwell had left the room, Nora said, “Sis, why did that guy come looking for you?”
Jade snorted coldly. “Colton Lawrence thinks that I have been rendered powerless because I have lost a leg, so he wants to borrow my Commander’s Seal.”
“What? Borrow the Commander’s Seal? So, did you hand it over to him?”
“Of course not.”
“Colton Lawrence has diabolical ambitions. After borrowing the Commander’s Seal at this time, it will be gone and never come back! He can’t wait to sit on the commander-in-chief’s throne in Flying Eagles.”
Jade said, “Colton Lawrence wants to lead the Dragon Fang Squad to infiltrate the enemy camp for investigation. According to my understanding of Colton Lawrence, that’s not his typical way of doing things. There must be something fishy about it! When the time comes, my Dragon Fang Squad will be the one to suffer losses…”
As soon as the conversation got to this point, she looked at Alex “Brat, do you know who he is? He’s the left-wing lieutenant’s son from Flying Eagles and is known as the finest genius among the young generation. He’s only thirty three years old, yet he’s already a Peak-Nascent Soul expert and is one step away from achieving the Profound Mystic stage. As long as he takes the step, Luna will consummate the marriage with him. When he discovers that Luna’s virginity is gone, what do you think will happen?”
Alex frowned. How could Alex be happy when he thought that Luna would consummate the marriage with that guy?
He was just a thirty three year old Peak-Nascent Soul expert. Starting as an ordinary person, Alex had achieved the Core Formation stage in less than a year. It could be that he had skyrocketed to advanced cultivation stages. It was not impossible to defeat Maxwell!
Alex firmly said, “Luna Flores will not consummate the marriage with him!”
Jade sneered. “This has to depend on your capability, but to be frank with you, it’s full of danger as well as opportunities inside the ancient force field. The spiritual energy’s concentration alone is a hundred times denser than outside. A pampered person like you is no match with the ones who have cultivated their martial arts through killing in the expeditions. Do you think you can beat him?”
Alex gently snorted and said, “Do you still want your leg?”
He was speechless.
‘Whether your leg can be attached back depends on a flash of my thought. Are you taunting me at this moment?’
‘Do you believe me that I might just tamper with it?’
Jade said, “I just want to help you. Nora has interceded with me to let you join Flying Eagles! Not everyone can join my Flying Eagles. As you have cured my leg, I’ll make an exception to have you get recruited. How’s that? When the time comes, I’ll make sure your cultivation base is not below Maxwell Lawrence’s.”
Alex shook his head. “Not for the time being.”
Jade looked at him. “Whatever!”
There was only one chance for her to make such an offer. If he wanted to join it next time, she would not agree to it.
After that, Nora walked out of the room to avoid what was to come.
Alex had used the Ultimate Book of Medicine to reattach Jade’s leg. The most troublesome part was the reconnection of the meridians. If it was done on a surgical table, it would take half a day to complete the procedure. However, Jade’s body was indeed strong.
She had the self-repair ability.
In less than half an hour, her right leg was intact after being reattached.
Jade tried it. Once a kick was made, a sonic boom was heard in the ward!
This kick had stopped right in front of Alex’s nose tip. Alex was fine, but the debris around had been hurled into a mess.
Alex stretched out a finger and pressed on her toe, gently moving it away. “Ahem, Commander Benmore, if you’ re fine, I’ll take my leave first.”
Jade retracted her leg with a ‘whoosh’ and wrapped herself with the bed sheet.
She blushed. She still had not worn her pants. It was inappropriate for her to deal with a man in such a posture.
Smack!
Jade threw a piece of a token at Alex like a magic trick. It was cold to touch. Its design was ancient and austere, with rune marks on it.
Alex asked, “What is this?”
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 1675
Jade said, “This is a space teleportation token that was obtained inside the ancient force field by chance. It possesses telepathy abilities with my soul. If you ever encounter an extreme situation someday, just crush it with your spiritual power, and I’ll come over to rescue you one time! This is only single-use. If you were to lose it accidentally, that’s your own business.”
Alex curiously flipped it around to study it. He just happened to recognize a few runes on it.
To his surprise, it was the space teleportation token!
“Are there many such things inside the ancient force field?” Alex asked.
“There aren’t many of them, but there are not few, if only you have the guts to enter.”
“Is there any item like a formation blueprint?”
“Are you interested in the formation blueprint?”
Alex nodded.
Jade’s eyes lit up as she asked, “How much do you know about it?”
Alex said modestly, “Not much. I’m just interested in it!”
The radiance in Jade’s eyes immediately receded as she said, “A few old guys in the academy are interested in this. They even clamored to repair the ancient force field. But up until now, they can’t even make head or tail of it. If you’re interested, I can recommend you to enter the Flying Eagles Academy.”
Alex was surprised. “What’s the Flying Eagles Academy?”
“It’s an academy specially prepared for the Flying Eagles squads. One must graduate from there before he can join Flying Eagles! So, even if I allow you to join my Flying Eagles, you still have to train at the Flying Eagles Academy for a year.”
To his surprise, it only needed a year.
Alex shook his head. How could he have time to study at the academy?
The female ghost, Yuno, alone had occupied Phoebe’s body, and he had to help Phoebe achieve the Spirit Severing stage within a specified time. If he were to go to that academy, there would be no hope left for Phoebe. Furthermore, his mother’s Soul Substitute Lotus Seed needed to be replaced often.
“If you don’t want to go there, it can’t be helped then!”
Jade waved her hand. She did not think that Alex could have much achievement in the formation blueprint. This would not bear any result without long-term research.
“Alright, you may leave now! I still have something to settle!” Jade waved her hand and gave him a life-saving talisman. It was considered as the conclusion of his grace for curing the leg.
Alex did not intend to continue staying here as well.
He had to study the token carefully. He felt that the runes on the token were very crucial, and they were slightly similar to the damaged portions of the teleportation circle in Caesar’s tomb.
Once Alex had left the room, Jade’s subordinates rushed in.
“Commander, is your leg really healed?”
“That’s great! Thank goodness, I didn’t expect that brat’s medical skills would be really that good.”
When several people saw Jade’s intact legs, they were red-eyed and crying with joy.
This leg was too important to them.
It was because Flying Eagles without Jade Benmore would no longer be Flying Eagles. Currently, the other few lieutenants in the team had different standpoints and conflicted with each other. Even people with the same mindset, like Colton Lawrence, wanted to snatch the commander-in-chief’s throne. If Jade had not suppressed them, no one would have known what would happen to the frontline!
Jade said to Nora, “What do you think of that brat?”
Nora said, “Are you talking about that Alex Rockefeller? The consciousness level of his mind isn’t high, and he’s a smooth talker. His mind is immersed in love affairs, and he has more than one girlfriend… But, nothing much can be said about his medical skills. Even Wallace Yoke has to address him as a master. It looks like he has acquired the Immortal Doctor’s Legacy.”
Jade snorted coldly. “The Immortal Doctor must be blind. How could he pick him to inherit his legacy?”
Little did she know that the blood of Immortal Doctor’s ancestors was flowing within Alex’s body.
***
At this moment, Alex, who had just walked out of the hospital entrance, received a call from Phoebe. “Rockefeller brat, when are you coming back?”
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 1676
“Where’s Cheryl?” Alex Rockefeller asked.
“There was suddenly a severe medical case in Mercy Hospital, and they needed her there. That’s why she has rushed over! She even asked me to ask you if… That woman gave you a hard time earlier?” Phoebe Larsen asked.
“Not at all. She’s just a woman here to get medical help! Do you want to know how l healed her leg? I think it must have been the most classic case in the list of difficult ailments I have treated! However, the process is way too disgusting. You wouldn’t want to know,” Alex said.
“In that case, tell me about it! There’s nobody at home right now. I’ve already taken a bath, and I’m not wearing anything,” Phoebe said.
“Oh, god. It’s cold now. Be careful not to catch a cold! I’ll be there right away!” Alex said.
There was a saying that walls had ears and doors had eyes. Alex had no clue that Jade Benmore, who was now in a VIP ward, could hear his phone conversation.
‘Indeed, this is a perverted man. Disgusting! What did he mean by that?’ Jade thought.
She then looked at Nora Stewart. “Nora, you must’ve seen how that fellow healed my leg. Describe the entire process to me,” Jade said.
Nora’s facial expression changed. “Sis, I don’t think you’ll want to know. I’d better not talk about it!”
“You must,” Jade said.
“I’m afraid you can’t take it,” Nora said.
“This is an order! ” Jade said.
“Alright then…” Nora explained in detail, or rather with added bits, how Alex healed Jade’s leg. Even just by watching, Nora had already vomited. Hence, she wanted to see how disgusted Jade would be. In the end, Jade seemed indifferent. “I thought it was something worse, but it’s just earthworms and maggots. I’ve been through much more disgusting stuff in the past,” Jade said.
However, from how Jade’s right leg trembled slightly, it was proven that she still cared.
“I now think that this fellow’s medical skills can be put to good use! Our Flying Eagles’ medical team is too backward. If we recruit him, we’d be able to reduce the death rates significantly,” Jade said after a pause.
“Didn’t he already refuse?” Nora asked.
Jade chuckled coldly. “We’ll put some pressure on him. Women are not to be messed with. If he can’t control the lower half of his body, he’ll have to pay for it! When he can’t stand the pressure, he’ll naturally come to me for help,” she said.
Nora’s eyes widened. “Do you mean… Maxwell Lawrence? That’s not a good idea. Maxwell will certainly kill him,” Nora said.
“I gave Alex a space teleportation token,” Jade said.
Nora, Pedro Nachman, and the rest all began to seem excited. Several men, especially, had weird looks on their faces.
There was a saying that a woman should never be offended. Clearly, Alex had healed Jade’s leg. However, since the method he used to do so was too disgusting, Jade set him up for something anyway. They could only imagine what horror Alex was going to face later!
Alex had no idea that Jade had set him up like this. Now, he was rushing over to Phoebe’s house. Soon, the two of them got together for passionate sex.
Of course, Alex wasn’t only here for the woman’s body. He was also looking for ways to increase her capabilities.
***
Meanwhile, after Maxwell Lawrence left the hospital, he made a detour to a faraway place before calling his father, Colton Lawrence, with a special number.
“Dad, I didn’t manage to get the Commander’s Seal!” Maxwell said.
“I expected as much. This woman, Jade Benmore, is a control freak. Why would she lend the Commander’s Seal to someone else that easily? However, I’m using a fair strategy. Now, she’s lost one leg. The only way she can survive is to amputate her leg! How could a woman with one leg be a commander? I’ll bet on seventeen cities. Let’s see if she’ll give in! Besides, our goal isn’t just to get the Commander’s Seal,” Colton Lawrence said.
“Dad, I think Jade’s leg has been healed, ” Max said.
“What?!” Colton was stunned for a moment.
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 1677
“Could one even cure the poison of Giant Coiled Dragon? Does such a powerful doctor exist in the world?” Colton Lawrence didn’t sound happy at all. He wished Jade Benmore would die sooner rather than later so that she wouldn’t get in his way. Once she died, he’d be able to control the people in Dragon Fang Squad. That was what he needed.
“I’m not too sure about this, but I saw Jade Benmore’s subordinate coming in with a young fellow. They were carrying Jade’s leg, and the leg seemed to have recovered its original form! This is truly odd. They could actually remove the leg and reassemble it after the poison on the leg was gone. It’s unbelievable,” Maxwell Lawrence said.
“Dad, Jade says that she will enter the deep part of the force field three days later to investigate the cause of riots among the beasts! She said that you must protect Ninth City at all costs, even if the entire army must perish,” Maxwell added after a pause.
“Humph! Ninth City is our key stronghold. If the other strongholds in front have already perished, Ninth City will face the onslaught of countless demon beasts. If I, the left-wing Lieutenant, must protect it at all costs, that means I will definitely die!” Colton said.
“What do we do?” Maxwell asked.
“I don’t care what she says. If that time comes, why would I care about America’s downfall? We’re looking for an opportunity to enter the path of gods! Isn’t she going into the deep part of the enemy’s camp in three days? Coincidentally, she’ll be able to clear the path for me,” Colton said.
“Haven’t you taken the final step beyond Peak-Nascent Soul? I think we should stop waiting. I happen to have found two Ascension Fruits. You’ll sleep with Luna Flores immediately and breakthrough to Profound Mystic rank with the help of her Cinnabar Yin Energy. It won’t be a problem at all,” Colton said.
Maxwell had wanted to sleep with Luna Flores, the demonic woman with a hot body, a long time ago. However, due to her Cinnabar Spell, he had been resisting his urges. Now that the timing was ripe, wouldn’t he be more than happy to do it?
“I’ll do as you say, Father!” Maxwell said.
After this phone call ended, Maxwell received another call on his other phone.
This person sat next to him during their time in Flying Eagles Academy. Now, he was also on the ancient battlefield. The two of them frequently contacted each other.
“Santos, it’s been a while since we last met. How are you free to give me a call? I’ve heard about your luck in acquiring a dead Level Four Ground Bear on the ancient battlefield,” Maxwell said.
“Maxwell, news sure travels fast with you. I was simply lucky! Maxwell, I’m calling you to verify something with you. Have you called off the engagement with Luna?” Santos Guilherme asked.
Maxwell laughed out loud. “Call it off? Why would I do that? We’re going to spend our first night together soon. Why did you suddenly ask that?”
“About this… I’m not sure if I should say it. I bumped into Luna a while back. It looks like she already has a boyfriend! They seemed very close. By the looks of it, they might have already slept with each other,” Santos said.
Buzz!
A sudden buzz appeared in his head. Maxwell felt as if he would soon explode.
“Is that true?” Maxwell asked.
“Why would I lie to you? I even checked on that guy. In the end, I found out that he’s a jerk who goes around tricking women. Now, he’s rolling around on a bed with another woman!” Santos said.
Maxwell had been cheated on.
Maxwell had always thought himself the most outstanding person among his peers. How could he accept being cheated on? At this moment, he couldn’t calm down. More importantly, there was no way he could determine whether Santos was lying or not.
The only thing he knew now was that he needed to capture that man and cut him into pieces.
“Where is this person? Bring me to him!” Maxwell exclaimed.
“I’ll send the address to you. My senior is summoning me for something urgent right now! Oh, there’s also a picture of him. I’ll send it to you too,” Santos said.
Soon, Maxwell received an address and a picture. It was a picture of Alex Rockefeller and Luna hugging each other.
“Who the f*ck is this guy? I’ll make you regret being born to this world!” Maxwell uttered.
Although Maxwell had met Alex before, he had only seen Alex once. He would not have paid attention to a nobody like Alex. Hence, Maxwell didn’t recognize Alex right away.
“Ahh..?!” Maxwell shouted ragefully.
He never thought that he would one day be cheated on. It was nearly driving him mad. He immediately caused all the trees within a hundred meters to shake violently in the surrounding forest.
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 1678
After that, Maxwell Lawrence jumped to his feet and started running over toward the location of the address Santos Guilherme had given him.
Maxwell never doubted Santos for a second, and he also never questioned the validity of this photo. Whatever it was, he had already decided on murdering the man in the photo.
Regardless of who this person was, he had to die tonight!
***
Meanwhile, Nora Stewart received a phone call.
“Aunt, I’ve already said those things to Maxwell just as you instructed. He probably didn’t suspect a thing. However, what has that man done to offend you that you would put so much thought into setting him up?”
The person who made this call was Santos.
“He didn’t offend me, but he offended my elder sister,” Nora said.
“Commander Benmore?” Santos asked.
“That’s right!” Nora said.
“D*mn! This fellow must be quite something. He’s the only person in the world who could make Commander Benmore go to such lengths for him. Now, I really would like to get to know this fellow,” Santos said.
Nora laughed. “You’ll get the chance. Why do you think my sister would set him up like this? In the end, she wants to force this young man to join Flying Eagles… Ahem. You must forget I ever said this, and don’t tell a living soul about it. If anybody else finds out, Commander Benmore will make you pay for it,” she said.
After hanging up the phone, Santos looked at Alex’s picture. He committed this person’s appearance to his memory.
***
Meanwhile, the passionate sex between Alex Rockefeller and Phoebe Larsen had already ended.
The entire room reeked of a musky smell. The duvet, bedsheet, and various furniture in the room were all messed up! Phoebe nearly went wild. To her surprise, after not having seen Alex for a month, his sexual expertise had improved drastically. It was as if he was no longer the same person from the first time they had sex.
“Is this your true nature? Alex… I love you to bits and pieces! ” After saying these words, Phoebe fainted.
While Alex caressed her beautiful, drenched, slightly reddish back, he picked up the space teleportation token Jade Benmore had given him with his other hand.
Just as he was about to investigate the mysteriousness within, Phoebe moved a little. She then proceeded to pull Alex’s dirty hand away before scrambling onto her feet and covering her body with the duvet.
Alex was stunned for a moment.
Meanwhile, Phoebe started talking in a different tone of voice. “Have you reached Core Formation?”
Alex’s eyes glowed briefly. He suddenly realized that the person before him was no longer Phoebe. Instead, it was Yuno.
In front of Phoebe, Alex could behave shamelessly. But now that she had become Yuno, things were different. Alex also quickly reached for the duvet to cover his body.
However, there was only a single duvet!
That meant Yuno couldn’t cover herself up.
“Do you want to die?” Yuno shouted angrily.
Alex let go of the duvet. “Elder Yuno, the body you’re in right now, is my girlfriend. What of her have I not seen before? You, on the other hand, have barely any relation to me. Isn’t it a little inappropriate for you to see me naked? Anyway, why did you suddenly appear now?” Alex asked.

After thinking about it for a while, Yuno agreed with Alex Rockefeller. However, if she let go of the duvet, she’d feel ashamed by her nakedness!
“Humph! If I don’t appear to see you now, when will I see you then? What have you been up to every day, young man? You’ve not been protecting this body of mine. Do you not care if she dies? I’ve come out a few times, but I couldn’t find you. Where have you been?”
Yuno asked, annoyed.
Alex was feeling a little odd right now. Earlier, he was still having wild, passionate sex with this woman. Now, her soul had suddenly been switched.
Who exactly was this woman to him?
“Elder Yuno, be patient. Haven’t I gone looking for resources? I went to a dungeon not long ago and found some spiritual stones…” Alex said.
“You found a dungeon?” Yuno immediately became excited. “Hurry up and tell me about it. What’s inside the dungeon?” she asked.
Alex was about to speak when Yuno suddenly reached out with her hand to block Alex.
“Somebody’s here!” Yuno exclaimed.
Alex’s spiritual consciousness wasn’t as powerful as Yuno. After three seconds, he finally sensed that a murderous intention was locked onto him.
Alex quickly grabbed the duvet and covered himself.
“Show yourself!” Alex yelled softly.
Phoebe Larsen had bought this high class apartment on her own. Suddenly, one of its windows exploded, and someone jumped in through the window.
It was none other than Maxwell Lawrence.
After seeing Maxwell’s face clearly, Alex was immediately stunned. This was actually Luna Flores’ fiance! For Maxwell to come at such a time, he wasn’t here for tea. Moreover, from the murderous intention Maxwell directed at Alex, it could only mean one thing! Maxwell had only found out about Alex’s relationship with Luna.
Moreover, Maxwell was here to kill Alex.
Alex looked at Maxwell, who was also looking at him. Although Maxwell couldn’t recognize Alex from the picture before, he suddenly remembered who Alex was now that he saw him in person. Wasn’t this the man who was carrying Jade Benmore’s leg in the ward previously?
After recognizing Alex, Maxwell had an odd feeling.
‘Who was this person? Why was he able to meet Jade personally?’
Hence, before killing Alex, Maxwell wanted to find out exactly what his relationship was with Jade.
“Who are you?” Yuno asked impatiently.
Yuno had wanted to hear about Alex’s discoveries in the dungeon. Suddenly, a weird fellow appeared out of nowhere. Never mind his murderous aura, he didn’t even show any sign of wariness in his eyes.
“Who am I? A b*tch like you don’t deserve an answer!” Maxwell said. He didn’t even bother to look at Yuno when he replied to her. Maxwell extended his palm outward, intending to kill Yuno with it!
Maxwell was here to look for Alex today. Firstly, it was because he had been cheated on. Secondly, he wanted to find out about Alex’s relationship with Jade.
Therefore, although he could tell from Yuno’s face alone that she was a beauty, despite her body being covered with a duvet, he was honestly not in the mood to have fun with a woman!
Unfortunately, Maxwell chose to mess with the wrong person from the beginning.
Perhaps, from the moment he decided he would come here to kill Alex, a tragedy was bound to happen to him. Maxwell thought he could kill Yuno instantly.
To his surprise…
Before his palm even reached Yuno’s head, Yuno suppressed him with a single finger. It was as if a mountain had come down upon him.
Squash!
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 1680
Maxwell Lawrence was completely crushed on the ground. His body instantly turned into a pulp. Even his soul couldn’t escape in time.
The turning of tables had happened too quickly. Before Alex Rockefeller could even register it, Maxwell had already died.
“Ah! You… You actually killed him?” Alex started to frown.
‘This is a huge mess!‘ Alex thought.
“He was going to kill me. Was I supposed just to let him kill me? If I hadn’t spared a few tricks up my sleeves to protect myself, I’d have died long ago! That’s why you need to toughen up quickly! Otherwise, this Peak-Nascent Soul would be able to kill you a hundred times over,” Yuno said nonchalantly.
“I’m going to put the corpse away first. Otherwise, the blood will seep into the floor panels. It’ll be difficult to clean up,” Alex said.
Alex put his clothes on and was about to keep Maxwell’s corpse in a storage bag when another person unexpectedly entered through the window.
This time, it was Nora Stewart.
At this moment, Nora’s eyes widened as she stared at the pulp of blood and flesh on the ground… However, she could still see the corpse’s body clearly. Also, she very quickly retrieved an identity card nearby to check if this pulp of blood and flesh belonged to Maxwell.
“Alex, did you kill Maxwell?” Nora asked.
“Ehh… This isn’t…” Alex wanted to say that he wasn’t the one who killed Maxwell. However, sensing Yuno’s gaze, he realized that Yuno’s identity was top secret. He couldn’t let anybody else find out. Hence, he stopped himself from speaking just in time.
Meanwhile, Nora instinctively felt that Alex wanted to deny that the corpse belonged to Maxwell. She held the identity card up.
“Do you know what this is? Everyone in Flying Eagles has a card like this. It’s convenient for us to identify who the person is after they’re dead, even if they’ve been completely disfigured. This person is Maxwell.”
“Oh!” Alex exclaimed.
“What sort of reaction is that? This person is Maxwell Lawrence, the most adored son of the left-wing lieutenant. Luna Flores’ mother, who is your lover, has put in a lot of effort to help Maxwell grow. In the end, you killed him! Do you know how much trouble you’ve gotten yourself into?” Nora’s face had turned pale from shock.
“Nora, what do you thinkI should’ve done? He wanted to kill me. Was I supposed just to let him chop my head off?” Alex asked.
“But…” Nora said. Finally, she came back to her senses.
“Oh, right. Maxwell is a Nascent Soul expert. How… How did you kill him? I was only late for a minute due to some delays. How did you manage to… Turn him into this in such a short time?” Nora asked.
How was Alex supposed to explain it?
Alex chuckled and looked below Nora’s waist. “Nora, everyone has a secret. Isn’t that so? Secrets are only meant to be known by a single individual. It’d be awkward if secrets are shared with everyone,” Alex said.
Upon saying this, it looked almost as if there was lightning in Alex’s eyes. No, there was a flash of light in his eyes. In fact, there was even a holy mark on his pupils.
“Nora, you lured Maxwell here, didn’t you?” Alex asked.
Pit against Alex’s formidable gaze, Nora subconsciously began to appear nervous. However, she immediately calmed herself down. “Of course not. Why would I lure him here? To kill you? What do you think my motive would be for that? I still need you to cure me of my sickness. I’m sick!”
“That’s right. You really are sick, ” Alex said.
“What do you mean…?”
“That’s because you’re lying!” Alex exclaimed.
Nora looked into Alex’s holy eyes that shone as bright as lightning. Although she wanted to continue lying, she found it hard to do so without changing her facial expression.
In the end, she admitted to the accusation. “That’s right. I lured him here.”
Alex’s gaze turned cold. He was already considering whether Yuno could kill this woman! However, when Alex looked at Yuno, he discovered that she had passed out on the bed.
‘D*mn it! I can’t count on her during such key moments!’
‘I can’t defeat this evil woman on my own!’
Alex was thinking of ways to escape, but Nora started speaking. “But I didn’t want him to come and kill you! My sister did!”
