Ch. 1771..1780
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 1771
Seeing Maoi acting just like his son, Colton seemed unable to handle the shock.
‘I’m trying to control Michael now, so I simply can’t catch this disease!’
As the Left-wing Lieutenant with tens of thousands of troops, he would be too embarrassed to continue living if anyone were to find Michael humping a tree, yelling, “I love the Fairy Doctor.” He wouldn’t even be able to keep his position within the squad.
Hence, he immediately let go of Michael.
Not even Petunia could hold her son back. In the end, Michael roared and rushed back to hug the tree, taking the other side as he humped it with Maoi.
He would even moan, pant, and let out sudden chuckles, seemingly satisfied. It was a terrifying sight.
Smack! Smack!
Colton took a step forward and chopped them on the back of the neck with his hand, making them faint in an instant.
“Hubby, what do we do?” asked Petunia. “Michael is our only son left, and he’s still not married! We can’t afford to lose him too!”
Colton’s expression was grim, eyes filled with bloodthirst. “Don’t worry, I’ll definitely have him cured. This is just hypnosis caused by mental power. So we should just find a mental power master. I remember that there’s one back in the Right-wing troops. I’ll summon him later.”
***
The next day, Alex woke up and discovered the Fairy Doctor currently sleeping on one of his arms, her fair, smooth leg resting on his waist as well.
She slept gracefully, even smiling seductively during her slumber.
‘This woman is usually so innocent, ethereal, and pure. Yet, she behaves as such the moment she tasted love. Are all women like this?’
Checking the time, Alex noticed that it was time to leave, hence he moved out his arm from under her neck and prepared to get out of bed.
However, this woke the Fairy Doctor up. “You’re leaving?” She asked, eyes filled with unwillingness.
Alex smiled. “It’s not like I’m never coming back. I’ll definitely come back within a month, alright?”
“If you don’t come back in a month, I’ll look for you,” she replied.
“Huh?”
“I’m your teacher. You may have got your graduation certificate, but you still have yet to get your graded assessment from my medicine class. So that means you haven’t officially graduated yet. That certificate is just something to help you go in and out of the academy.”
Alex grabbed her waist gently. “Alright. I like you, teacher.”
“Teacher likes you too, student.”
“Alright, I really have to get up now. You’re way too pretty, teacher. I’m worried that I won’t be able to resist your charm. My schedule will be delayed for another day.”
“Okay!” Dawn kissed him and crawled out of his arms first.
She then brought him his clothes and dressed him. She even combed his hair, squeezed some toothpaste onto his toothbrush, and helped him prepare to wash up. She was so tender that it all seemed surreal.
Just then, someone knocked on the door to her room. The two jumped. They simply couldn’t let anyone find out about their sexual relationship.
Although rumors could spread, the one thing they couldn’t afford was to be caught red-handed.
Alex immediately found a place to hide.
Just as he dashed towards the bathroom, a familiar voice chimed. “Ms. Winslet, Ms. Winslet! Are you in there? I’m coming in!”
Upon hearing this voice, Alex felt his scalp go numb. The person who came by was none other than the little witch, Luna.
‘What an unfortunate coincidence.‘
‘If the little witch found out that I screwed the Fairy Doctor, she would probably get so angry that her powers will go out of control!’
Alex didn’t dare to stay in the bathroom any longer. He opened the window and hopped out instead.
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 1772
Alex headed to inform his disciples in the formation circle course about his departure. He then met up with Holly, who was in the battle course, and informed her as well…
However, he didn’t manage to find Yuno. She didn’t have a phone at the time as well. Hence, he told Holly to inform her on his behalf when they bumped into each other. After that, he walked out of the large gates.
“Alex Rockefeller!”
Just as he reached the gates, someone called out to him. Upon turning around, he saw a man in his thirties. He had long hair that flowed freely in the breeze as if he was Dragon Shiryu from Saint Seiya.
His hair was so silky that it would be a waste of potential if he wasn’t the spokesperson for ‘Head & Shoulders’. Besides his hair, he looked quite dashing as well. Alex himself rated the man as an eight out of ten.
“Are you calling me?” Alex looked at him. He didn’t know who this man was.
The man gestured to him, sending a ray of light towards Alex.
Alex’s eyes lit up. He could tell that the man had thrown a card towards him.
After catching the card, he decided to take a look. “The vice president of The Flames?”
“Hubert Fischer?”
Hubert said, “Mhm, that’s right. I am the Hubert Fischer. I think you’re pretty powerful, so follow me!”
“Follow you?” Alex froze. “Where to?”
“We’re going to The Flames clubroom, of course.”
“For what, though? ” Alex was even more confused.
Hubert replied, “You still don’ t understand? Newbies really are newbies, huh? What I mean is, you’ve been chosen by our club, and I’m here to recruit you. This is a once in a lifetime opportunity, so just come along with me. After we get through with the welcoming ceremony, you’ll be part of the club from now on.”
Alex had heard of clubs in Flying Eagles Academy. However, these clubs were not extracurricular clubs like in regular universities.
These clubs had been formed to do missions and enter secret realms together, helping out one another throughout the process, and become stronger as a whole.
It was equivalent to guilds in some games.
Flying eagles Academy had over a hundred clubs like this.
Alex, however, was not interested in any of them. He shook his head. “I don’t want to join any clubs.”
Hubert was shocked. “Did you not hear me? I said that I’m the vice president of The Flames. I came here personally just to recruit you, yet you reject our offer? Do you know what you’re doing?”
“I know.”
Hubert shook his head. “No, you don’t! You don’t even know what you’re turning down. Listen up, I’ll give you a more detailed introduction. There are 173 guilds and clubs in this academy, and The Flames is ranked third! All of our members are the best of the best, we filter out the weak and choose only the strong. Do you even know how many people long to be in our club, yet fail to meet our requirements? You should be honored that we want to recruit you, and you should have accepted our offer without hesitation! In fact, you should’ve been extremely grateful that I personally came here to fetch you. Yet, here you are, absolutely oblivious to this chance you’re given?”
Alex frowned and said coldly, “Are you done talking? If you are, then step aside. I’m not interested in your club.”
Hubert’s expression darkened. “Oh, you punk! You asked for it!”
Smack!
Without a word, Alex slapped the man across his face.
Hubert didn’t expect Alex to be so bold as to slap him out of nowhere, hence he didn’t prepare to defend at all. The slap caused one of his cheeks to swell up.
“You… How dare you attack me?” Hubert looked at him in disbelief.
“Do you expect me to treat you to breakfast or something? I’ll count to three. If you still refuse to leave, you won’t be able to do so after this!”
“F*ck!” Hubert screamed in rage, immediately lunging towards Alex, preparing for an attack.
Smack!
Another slap landed on his face again.
This time, Hubert was slapped so hard that he spun in place and fell to the ground as if something out of a cartoon comedy.
There were currently hundreds of students gathered at the gate. Seeing this, all of them froze up. Hubert Fischer, the vice president of The Flames, a genius that ranked nine in the battle force, wasn’t even able to defend himself. He was slapped away as if he was just an average person.
‘Who was that man who slapped him?
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 1773
Smack!
Hubert landed on the ground face flat. His nose started bleeding while two of his teeth were knocked out. He just couldn’t believe that something like this could happen. As the student who was ranked nine in battle power, he couldn’t even stand a chance against this newbie.
‘How is this possible?’
‘It must be because… Because I couldn’t prepare myself mentally!’
Thus, Hubert leaped up from the ground, exerting full power as he launched an attack on Alex as the ultimate revenge.
“Shura Exploding Kick!”
The attack even affected the air surrounding him. The atmosphere felt as if it was compressed, then exploded like a bomb in the next second. The energy burst as his foot grew closer to Alex’s temple.
Everyone gasped loudly as they watched the fight go down.
“This is Hubert’s strongest skill, the Shura Exploding Kick! I heard that this is an Earth-rank cultivation skill!”
“How amazing. I even heard ringing in my ears from here. I wonder if that guy could take that attack?”
Some even recognized Alex. “Oh my god, isn’t that the newbie? He even defeated Stan Cooley with one attack a while ago. He’s the legend that made Jason Moss grovel before him, begging to become one of his disciples in public! Holy sh*t, didn’t they say that this guy was useless and actually just bluffing with hallucinations? They said that he cheated when he battled against the Fairy Doctor, but why is he fighting Hubert now?”
These were the things people said after Hubert’s foot was right before Alex’s face. The attack was about to land.
Alex was furious. He didn’t even do anything to cause this guy to pester him to join some Flame club.
‘Why are you so arrogant when you’re the one who wants me to join, huh?‘
‘Did I f*cking beg for a membership?’
‘I‘m in a rush to see my family now, you b*stard!‘
He raised an arm and grabbed Hubert by the ankle. With that, he flung his arm aside.
Crack! Crack!
Hubert could hear crackling noises coming from his entire leg, followed by immense pain.
As the successor of the Ultimate Book of Medicine and a core member of his family, he was all too familiar with the human body structure.
Just by flinging his arm slightly, he was able to dislocate every joint in Hubert’s leg.
Hubert let out a loud yelp and fell to the ground. He couldn’t move his leg at all. It was as soft as noodles. Moreover, any form of touch would cause intense pain to erupt from within his leg.
Alex took a glance at him. “So? Do you still want me to be grateful to you? Stay here and reflect on your actions. If your leg still hasn’t healed up in a month, you can come look for me again.”
After saying this, Alex took a step across Hubert‘s body and walked out of the school gates.
The crowd watched on in disbelief.
“Oh god, Hubert is ranked ninth in battle power, yet he lost to him in one attack?!”
“This is big news! Would anyone still dare to say that this Alex guy had tricks up his sleeves and cheated his way to victory?”
Within the crowd were members of the East Flower Sect, like Jinvy.
Back then, when Alex defeated Stan with Bralnna’s Supreme Touch, everyone just couldn’t believe it was a real skill.
Everyone was unfamiliar with martial arts in Buddhism, so they just couldn’t believe it when all he used was a finger to defeat Stan.
Hence, after the battle, members of the East China Sect started discussing what skills he used. In the end, they all agreed that it couldn’t have been his own skill, and it could only be achieved by some mystical tool.
‘He must’ve been using the powers of that tool to defeat Stan.‘
Stan also thought the same after losing.
Their perceptions of Alex, however, had completely made a 180-degree turn.
Alex didn’t have to use any tool, just the force within his body to defeat Hubert. Not only did he slap Hubert twice, he even dislocated his leg to the point it could no longer move.
No one would ever dare say that Alex had no skills and relied on tools to win battles now.
Jinvy watched as Alex walked out of the academy, her face filled with hatred and helplessness.
She mumbled. “I didn’t expect this bastard to be this strong now! At this rate, it appears not even Little Master can beat him!”
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 1774
At the same time, some students watched on with eyes opened wide as Alex left.
“What is he doing?”
“He’s a newbie, and I think he enrolled less than three months ago. There’s no way that he could leave. Does he want to be locked up in the Soul Refining Tower?”
“Haha! Does this guy not know the rules here? Let’s not tell him and watch him walk into his misfortune. Uncle Drake is not to be provoked. We’ll have a good show when he locks him up in the tower.”
Everyone continued to stare at Alex, yet nothing happened even after he stepped out of the academy. Drake, who was sitting in the guard station, had his eyes half-closed. He watched as Alex walked out, but he did nothing to stop him.
Jinvy immediately rushed over to remind Drake. “Uncle Drake, wake up! A newbie is leaving the academy! He should be captured and locked in the Soul Refining Tower for three days according to school rules. Don’t let him get away!”
However, Drake continued to lay there, his eyes now completely closed. He paid no attention to Jinvy.
“Uncle Drake! Uncle Drake! ” Jinvy started panicking. She thought that Drake had fallen asleep and was oblivious to his surroundings. Hence, she decided to give him a push.
However, just as she pushed him, a strong force rebounded onto her arms, causing her to fall to the ground, rolling backward.
As part of the East Flower Sect, Jinvy had always viewed herself as a princess. So this made the prideful woman feel extremely insulted as if she had just been publicly slapped across the face.
She couldn’t bear to let Alex leave just like that. This was, after all, one of the few chances that she could mess with Alex Rockefeller.
So, she yelled into Drake’s ear. “Uncle Drake, wake up, wake up! A newbie just left the campus! Aren’t you the guard here? Why aren’t you stopping him? You’re not doing your job!”
Some students who were aware of Drake’s status were shocked to hear what Jinvy said.
‘This idiot is being ridiculous! Does she not want a peaceful school life? How dare she provoke Uncle Drake like that?‘
As expected, Drake opened his eyes abruptly and shot her a dirty glare. “You‘re so annoying! Do you think I’m old and blind? He graduated!”
‘What?‘
‘He graduated?‘
Many were stunned after hearing this.
’How could a newbie, who had only been here for ten days, be able to graduate so quickly?‘
Jinvy couldn’t believe this as well. “You must have been mistaken. He really is a newbie, not a graduate! I swear on my life that he isn’t.”
Thinking back on how Alex graduated, Drake couldn’t help but feel angry. This was because he knew that Alex didn‘t graduate like every other typical student but simply lucked his way out.
However, to prevent any more pestering, he said, “Now that he got past the Soul Refining Tower, are you about to tell me that he hasn’t graduate? I think you should go away and live your sad, pathetic life. Stop interrupting my slumber.”
Upon hearing Drake’s words, everyone felt as if they had been struck by lightning. This news was just that shocking.
“He got past the tower… And that was how he earned his graduation certificate?”
“Is that really true?”
“But both our principles couldn’t even achieve that! Only Commander Benmore could reach the ninth level of the tower!”
The news spread throughout the academy like wildfire as if it had just grown a pair of wings.
At the time, Alex had hopped onto the Sword of the Universe. By forming an ancient talisman with his fingers, he inserted it into the formation blueprint of the sword and rushed off to California.
After studying the thirty-six variants of ancient talismans in the formation blueprint of the sword, his Imperial Sword Flight had become multiple times faster. This was because Alex had inserted talismans into the formation blueprint from time to time.
An hour later, he managed to reach California, rushing immediately to the Assex Villa.
However, just as he entered the villa, Alex was shocked to see what was happening inside.
His mother-in-law, Claire, was wearing a tight yoga suit. All four of her limbs were stuck up into the air, her position very alluring as well. Moreover, she seemed to be yelping for some reason.
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 1775
At first, Alex thought that she was doing some stretching, which caused her to yelp in pain from the soreness in her legs. However, after further observation, he noticed that something wasn’t right
Claire wasn’t yelping from the pain from stretching, but it was because she had overdone her yoga position.
Her body couldn’t handle this much stretching, basically hurting herself and straining her hamstring. It was as if someone had twisted her muscles using magic.
As expected, after holding that position for quite a while, Claire could no longer bear the pain and started crying for help.
Alex approached her and immediately got down on one knee, applying pressure on her legs with his hands.
“Huh?”
Claire then noticed the man who appeared before her and that his hands were on her thighs. She froze up, terrified until she realized that it was Alex.
She let out a sigh of relief. “Alex, you came here just in time. I think I’m getting cramps in my legs, please help me up.”
Alex shook his head. “You can’t get up just yet. It could be harmful.”
“Huh? I… what happened to me?”
“You pulled your hamstrings, so if you stand up now, you’d just hurt yourself even more. Just do as I say, use your hands, and press them on your legs. Just stay in this position for a bit while I help you repair your hamstrings.”
“Okay, okay!” Claire agreed.
With this, Alex grabbed onto one of Claire’s hamstrings and pinched, squeezed, and slid his hands down her thigh abruptly.
“Argh!” Claire screamed. It was indeed rather painful for her.
Alex stared at her. “Don’t move. There’s still one more.”
With swift movements, he pressed down on her other leg and did the same to it. In just a few seconds, Claire regained mobility and sat up in a panic. “Thank you, Alex, or I wouldn’t know what I’d do.”
Alex still wasn’t used to how polite she was to him. He said, “You don’t need to do yoga. You’re pretty healthy.”
Claire replied. “I think yoga will be good for me, though. Look how skinny I’ve become now!”
“Skinny?”
Alex looked into her with his Third Eye and checked her pulse. Through that, he finally understood what actually happened.
“Mom, you didn’t get skinnier from doing yoga. It was because you have been eating spiritual rice…”
After saying this, Alex came up with an idea. Since the problems with the ancient realm were starting to worsen, Claire and Beatrice, who were weak, might drag both him and Dorothy down if something big were to happen.
He didn’t expect them to be extremely powerful masters. All he wanted was for them to at least be capable of defending themselves for the time being.
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 1776
The only problem was that Alex didn’t know much about martial arts that were most suitable for women. On the other hand, Dorothy’s Reincarnation Stone included lots of information on this. Hence, it was best that Dorothy herself made this decision.
In the end, Alex didn’t say much about this and asked, “Where’s Dorothy? Oh, and why isn’t Beatrice home yet? It’s almost the end of the year. She should be on holiday, right?”
Putting on a jacket, Claire said, “Dorothy went out after getting a call! And Beatrice, ah, that wild little girl… She managed to get a taste of a real business after working for your family’s Lush Cosmetics. So after she earned enough money, she actually started up some club. Now, she heads to the club and organizes events from time to time. She went out this morning, and I think she’ll only be back by night. Poor me, huh? I’m always alone at home.”
Alex looked at her. “Mom, you’re still young, and you look younger than your actual age! Why don’t you consider dating again?”
Back then, Alex could never talk about such things with Claire. However, after her brain tumor was cured, talking about such private matters drew them even closer than before.
“This… We’ll see!”
Alex nodded and realized that Claire seemed oblivious to the fact that Dorothy was having quadruplets. Hence, he decided not to speak about it as well and dialed Dorothy’s number.
The call connected almost immediately. Dorothy sounded surprised. “You’re out?”
Alex nodded. “Yeah, quick, right? I’m at your place now, where did you go?”
Dorothy smiled. “I have something interesting going on here. Would you like to hear about it?”
“Oh? What is it? ”
“It’s related to Emma,” replied Dorothy. “She wanted to meet me at Gemside Peak on the west side of Moonlight Lake. She said that she had very important information about my company. So she wanted to have a talk.”
Alex froze. “Gemside Peak? Why would someone go there to merely talk? What the f*ck is Emma trying to do this time? Don’t go yet. I’ll be there in a second.”
Dorothy chuckled on the other end of the line. “She’s here! I don’t think you should come over. Since you’re back, cook up some good food for me. Since I’m having four of our kids now, I’ve been eating a lot more than usual.”
“Well…”
“Are you actually still worried that Emma could harm me?”
Alex couldn’t help but let out a few chuckles.
‘Even if ten thousand copies of Emma came, they wouldn’t be able to lay a finger on Dorothy!’
After ending the call, Dorothy placed her phone back into her pocket and turned back to Emma, who was walking over in an arrogant demeanor. Behind her were six personal bodyguards.
Seeing this, Dorothy instantly knew what she was up to. Emma, on the other hand, cackled loudly when she saw Dorothy come here alone. “Dorothy Assex. You really do have some guts, huh? You actually dared to come meet me alone. Are you not afraid of traps I might’ve set up for you?”
Dorothy chuckled. “Emma, just think about it. With your intelligence, do you really think you can even set up a decent trap? All you can do is find a few scums to bait me here. After that, you’ll kidnap me and demand ransom, then get your revenge on me, right? Oh Emma, don’t you think I’ve been way too merciful, that I’d let you walk all over me time and time again? Was I too nice to have spared you from jail last time, hmm?”
Emma decided to just cut to the chase and gestured toward Dorothy. “Get her! As long as you capture this woman today, you can earn 500,000 dollars! And you get to do whatever you want to her too! She’s one of California’s most beautiful, so don’t miss this opportunity!”
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 1777
Dorothy sighed as she stared at Emma, who looked excited and triumphant.
Since they were young kids, this woman had never done anything right. She would either drag someone down or pull tricks that didn’t benefit her at all.
Dorothy was very much confused as well. ‘How could such a delusional woman be able to survive in this world till now?’
“Emma, I’m only saying this because we’re relatives. I’m giving you one last chance. Get out of my face and keep living as the coward that you are. Don’t come out here. You disgust me. I can pretend that nothing happened today,” Dorothy said, expressionless.
“Hahaha! ” Emma laughed out loud. “Dorothy Assex, are you half asleep? Can you not see just how strong these men here are? These are very powerful warriors that I hired from Michigan. Do you really think you can defeat them?”
After saying this, she continued cackling like a witch. Ten seconds of cackling later, she glared at Dorothy, infuriated. “Your d*mn husband may have good skills, but too bad your mother is a fool. She looked down on him and kicked him out. You have no one to blame, now that he no longer pays attention to you. Alright, it’s about time. Just rest in peace, Dorothy. I’ll be taking over your company from here.”
All six of those hitmen could no longer hold themselves back. Dorothy was just too beautiful. After capturing Dorothy, they would be able to have a taste of her body, an experience they knew they’d simply never forget.
The leader shouted. “Whoever captures her would be the first to sleep with her. Brothers, I’m going first!”
This man was a Beginner-Mystic-rank fighter, the strongest within the group, which was why he ended up as the leader. They were currently standing ten meters away from Dorothy. To a Mystic rank fighter, he could definitely rush over within a second.
However, just as he reached five meters apart from her, Dorothy flicked a tiny spark of flame towards the fighter. In just a moment, his entire body started burning in flames.
“Ah!” That man yelled as he fell to the ground.
He was now slightly closer to Dorothy, two meters away from her. Still burning in flames, he crawled on the ground, twitching and screaming for help.
Within merely five seconds, he was completely burned to the ground. There weren’t even any ashes left. All that was left was a dark scorched mark on the ground.
The rest of the hitmen were so terrified that they didn’t dare move a muscle.
Emma was so scared that her legs became weak as well. She simply couldn’t believe her eyes.
‘How could a living, breathing person just catch flames out of nowhere?’
‘And that happened way too quickly! Even if someone was drenched in gasoline, they would probably have to burn for at least half an hour, wouldn’t they?’
Emma didn’t see what Dorothy had done, but the hitmen certainly did.
“It… It was you!”
“You did that, right? You… What kind of witchcraft was that?”
Dorothy smiled and flicked her fingers again. Another spark formed in between and slowly turned into a small flame. The flame bounced around her fingertips, then landed on her palm, enlarging within seconds.
In the end, it turned into a ball of flames the size of a ping pong ball. This scene shocked everyone once more. The fighters even started backing away slowly.
They finally understood that they were provoking someone that they shouldn’t. They knew that they could never defeat this fire-bending beauty. Worse, they even thought they could pin her down and have their way with her, just so they could have a taste of this beauty.
“Run!” One of the fighters was quick to take action, immediately fleeing from the area. However, he only managed to run five meters away to end up just like his leader. He, too, was burned down to the ground.
“When you guys showed up with Emma, you should’ve known that your opponent would fight back You can’t earn money that easily, let alone provoke the wrong people.”
Followed by her words, the four hitmen knelt to the ground.
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 1778
They started begging for their lives.
“Please! Have mercy, milady!”
“We were misled by Emma Assex. We really do have nothing to do with this!”
Dorothy’s expressions were cold. “If I was just a weak damsel, captured by all of you, would you let me go if I begged for mercy?”
The four of them were stunned. In such a situation, they would be way too overjoyed, rushing to get their hands on her. There was just no way that they would let her off by merely begging.
Pshhhh!
The ball of flames in Dorothy’s hand turned into four flame arrows, aiming at the four men kneeling on the ground. This time, all four of them were burnt down within two seconds.
Emma was shocked, she just couldn’t bear to believe any of this. This was completely different from what she had expected.
‘When did Dorothy become this powerful?’
‘This isn’t logical at all. There’s just no way.’
Emma clenched her teeth in fear as she watched as another ball of flames forming within Dorothy’s palm slowly walking slowly towards her. She felt as if her scalp had gone numb, staring at the ball of flames in horror.
She could imagine what would happen if that ball of fire landed on her.
Click!
Dorothy flicked the fireball off of her fingers.
Emma screamed in utter terror, falling on her butt. Her thighs and back were now completely drenched in urine.
Dorothy then stood in front of her. “I gave you so many chances in the past, Emma Assex. I’m simply astonished by your power to harm everyone and everything around you, including yourself! If I wanted to, your entire family would have perished long ago… I wouldn’t have called off the accusations on you if you weren’t my cousin. But this time, you’ve crossed the line.”
Emma was terrified. She was really scared of dying. Crawling up and groveling to Dorothy’s feet, she cried, “Dorothy, Dorothy! I was wrong. I was blinded by greed. Please spare my life and let me go! I’m willing to be your slave!”
Dorothy shook her head. “You don’t even deserve to be my slave.”
Thud, thud, thud!
Emma started giving Dorothy several kowtows to the point her forehead started bleeding.
“Dorothy, please, we’re cousins, please… Please just give me a chance. I swear, I swear I‘ll never make such mistakes ever again. Back then, Grandma was the one who persuaded me to go against you people! Grandma just doesn’t like you. She thought that your mother killed your father, so that’s why she hated your family! I was tricked, Dorothy, please! Really, please, I’m begging you!”
“Whatever!” Dorothy sighed, unable to do anything to her since Emma was still considered family.
“Get up.” She said softly and caressed her stomach. She figured that she should accumulate more good karma for her children.
“But this doesn’t mean you get away with this scot-free. I won’t put you in a difficult position, so I’ll just put a prohibition spell on you. From now on, if you ever dare to try… No, if you even think about harming my family in the slightest, this spell will kill you.”
Dorothy would no longer let these monsters go this easily. Even if she were to let them go, she had to restrict them to some extent.
Moving her fingers, she turned the ball of flames into the talisman writings of the prohibited spell. In the end, it formed into a ray of light and shot directly into Emma’s body. In an instant, Emma felt as if there was something else in her brain.
“Go back and tell the Assexs to be obedient and do what you’re supposed to do. There won’t be any problems as long as you stay that way. You won’t even have to ever worry about money!”
“Else, all there’s left for you is your demise.”
After saying this, Dorothy leaped into the air gently, flying away as if she was a fairy.
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 1779
Seeing how Dorothy flew away like a goddess and disappearing in a flash, Emma knelt there, unable to move. She just couldn’t believe her eyes. This went against everything she had known in her life.
“Why… Can she fly?”
“Could she… Really be a fairy?”
Emma always compared herself to Dorothy. She wanted to be better than Dorothy in every single aspect. That was because the two were similar in age, and they were just a year apart.
Dorothy, however, had the absolute upper hand in the looks department thanks to her beautiful mother. When the two were still kids, people would naturally start comparing them as long as they hung out. They would compare their looks, their intelligence, and even obedience.
Hence, Emma’s obsession with defeating her had most likely started since then.
No matter the aspect, Emma felt that she just couldn’t win against Dorothy. Whenever they stood together, people only ever complimented Dorothy. It’s as if she was just a mere accessory, a leaf to a flower, a tool to show just how great Dorothy was.
After that, Emma changed.
However, it wasn’t for the better; she changed for the worse. She started giving up on herself. It wasn’t like any amount of hard work could ever make her better than Dorothy anyway… If they seemed close back then, they were in entirely different worlds now.
Emma was no longer anywhere near to what Dorothy is now. She knew that all she could do now is admire Dorothy from afar as if worshipping a goddess.
***
When Dorothy headed back, Alex was cooking while Claire helped him.
Back then, the two hated each other so much that they longed for the day they didn’t have to see each other anymore. Now, the two looked like textbook versions of a good relationship between in-laws.
Alex was cooking while Claire washed and cut up the ingredients. She even helped him carry some stuff over and brought up questions from time to time. She would ask him how much salt they had to put, how they should season the dish, or how long they’d have to cook it.
Dorothy was simply shocked to see this.
This was only because Claire would never check up on Alex whenever he cooked, let alone help. They would be lucky if she didn’t cause any problems for once. However, it was still very nice to see them getting along like that.
Noticing Dorothy, Alex turned towards her and used his Third Eye. She was indeed pregnant with quadruplets. It was just that the kids were still too small, hence there weren’t any obvious signs of pregnancy just yet. Despite that, this was enough to make Alex overwhelmed. He put down the frying pan and rushed over to give her a big hug.
Staring into her eyes lovingly, he said, “Darling!”
He was even this close to placing his hand on her stomach.
Seeing just how loving her daughter and son-in-law were, Claire couldn’t help but feel glad. However, she couldn’t help but burn up after thinking back to how Alex pressed down on her thighs,
“Mom, there are still two dishes left. You can cook them however you like!”
“I have to speak to Dorothy about something. We’ll be upstairs.”
Alex was so excited that he carried Dorothy and practically ran upstairs to their room, closing the door behind them immediately.
Claire walked out of the kitchen and looked to the second floor. She blushed, thinking that the two missed each other so much that they wanted to do it immediately after meeting up. However, she still had no idea that she was about to become a grandmother soon.
Even so, as young and beautiful as Claire looked now, many would definitely misunderstand if she brought children out with her.
In the room, Alex was caressing Dorothy’s stomach gently, smiling like an idiot. He could sense the four little children. He could even feel their Chi bonding with his through their blood relation. Although currently the size of peas, he could still feel their presence.
Dorothy asked, “Why are you back all of a sudden? Didn’t you say you couldn’t?”
Alex produced a graduation certificate.
Reading it, Dorothy was surprised. “It’s just been a few days, but you’ve managed to graduate already? Is it really that easy to get a certificate from Flying Eagles Academy? Or did you attend some kind of extreme training class?”
Alex smiled. “Of course not. Do you really think just anyone could get a certificate in such a short amount of time? I think I’m the only one in the entire academy to be able to achieve this!”
After that, Alex explained everything that happened within Flying Eagles Academy to Dorothy.

Rationally, he didn’t mention his current relationship with the Fairy Doctor. He even specifically mentioned the conflict he had with the Becks. He also omitted the parts where Phoebe was involved, instead directing the cause to the benefit of his master, Jade.
After a long talk, the two laid down on the bed. Dorothy then shifted her body onto his.
Alex froze. “You’re pregnant. It’s not fitting that you do this in the first three months.”
She smiled gently. “Are you dumb? Think I’m just the average person?”
“Uhm…”
“Don’t worry, I’ll form a circle to protect them. They won’t be hurt in any way. I won’t allow that.”
Alex gulped and thought to himself, ‘Placing a protective circle in her own stomach? She really is extraordinary, huh?’
Although he had spent the whole of last night with the Fairy Doctor, he had regained quite a lot of stamina. Moreover, the Chaos Tree within his mind palace seemed to be providing him chaos Chi energy and rejuvenating his body from time to time.
Within half a day, his energy had completely refilled itself.
After a short while, Claire was done cooking, and she headed upstairs to call them down to eat together. Just then, she heard noises coming from Dorothy’s room, followed by a rhythmic “thud”.
She was worried that the two were fighting inside, hence she rushed upstairs and placed her ear to the door.
In an instant, she was startled. Her face turned red, her entire body felt weak as her skin tingled everywhere. She immediately ran off and went back to her room. After quite a while of hesitation, she opened her closet and took out a toy that was hidden at the back of one of the drawers…
It was calling to her as if it were a demon.

Spencer was currently sitting on a stool in an unfinished building in California. A woman handed him a document. “King Spencer, this is all the information you wanted.”
Colton was the Left-Wing Lieutenant of the Flying Eagles troops. The three Heavenly Kings worked under the lieutenant, and Spencer was one of them. Hence everyone referred to him as King Spencer.
Spencer opened the document bag and took out a list. It contained the names of everyone who was even remotely related to Alex.
As expected, the first was Brittany. The second, on the other hand, was Noah from the Rockefeller family. After Alex left the family, many heard that William was Bill’s adopted child. However, the woman who Spencer hired didn’t really research anything in detail, and since Noah was still technically his blood relative, he was naturally included within this capture list.
Almost all of the Rockefellers were listed here as well. Following them were the names of Alex’s ex-wife and her family.
Moreover, Brittany’s birth family, the Melvises, were listed as well.
Following those were Waltz, Maya, Hailey, Michelle, and Keith, who was considered quite close with Alex. Even Anna, Sky, and the others were listed as well.
Spencer skimmed through the list. “Alright, go capture them according to this list!”
The woman asked. “What if they resist?”
Spencer chuckled with an icy undertone. “Then bring their heads back instead. The Madame wants a bloodbath, so it would be no different even if we beheaded them.”
The woman smiled. “That’ll be way more convenient then!”
“To prevent this news from spreading, you should go in two teams,” Spencer said. “Start from the Rockefeller manor and the Assex’ for now. Head out by nine and come back before midnight, is that alright?”
“We will definitely complete this mission!”
