Ch. 1891..1900
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 1891
The call then ended.
Beatrice Assex passed Alex a piece of cut apple and said, “Brother-in-law, why is your instructor calling you? It sounded like a woman. You both have such a good relationship!”
When she said that, Alex saw Dorothy glancing at him. However, there wasn’t anything special about her expression. It was just that her sister kept thinking about Dorothy’s husband, and that gave Dorothy a slight headache.
She used to fly into a rage for this reason and had even beaten Beatrice for it, but it seemed like it didn’t have much effect. In the girl’s heart, there was an indescribable attachment etched into her bones. Later, Dorothy had spoken to Beatrice in-depth and found quite a lot of history between Alex and Beatrice.
In addition, there was also the threat of her past life. Dorothy could feel that she was getting closer and closer to the awakening of her previous life now. And her mentality had changed.
If Beatrice really couldn’t let go of Alex, then it was better just to let it happen.
At least when Dorothy’s soul disappeared, and she was no longer herself, her sister could still love him and watch over Dorothy’s children as they grew up. Dorothy didn’t have the same ease if it was other women compared to her sister… That was why, from that day on, when she went to the uninhabited island, she instructed Beatrice on her inheritance, and even at the
expense of her skills, Dorothy helped Beatrice lay a solid foundation.
At this moment, Beatrice had also already entered the ranks of the master and had reached the realm of Divine Transcendence, lagging behind Alex by only one level.
This made Waltz extremely envious because… In the past, Waltz could have easily killed Beatrice in just a few seconds.
Who would have expected the tides to turn, where the Assex siblings who Waltz had not deemed to be significant in the past had completely changed everything around. Forget about the older sister, who turned out to be Aunt Rockefeller, but even the younger sister had surpassed her in terms of ranks. How could she not feel depressed over that?
But, what else could she do?
Alex wanted to help her improve her cultivation quickly, but he was a man, and there were limitations in what he could help improve a woman’s cultivation. How could he be like Dorothy, who could so easily help Beatrice improve?
So, the current Beatrice was more keen and alert than previously and could easily hear the voice from the other side of Alex’s phone.
“It’s one of the teachers from the Flying Eagles Academy!” Alex said. “There’s been a lot of poisoned patients recently in Long Beach, and the academy sent her over to work on the case. Otherwise, the teachers in the academy rarely have the chance to come out, as they’re swamped.”
“Can I go to the Flying Eagles Academy?” Beatrice asked.
“Uh… Let’s talk about this next year!”
Beatrice nodded. “True. Speaking of which, it’s going to be New Years’ soon.”
Alex’s heart skipped a beat. “Do you have a wish? You can make a wish from me!”
“Huh?”
Beatrice was taken aback. “Make a wish from you? It’s not like you’re a god or anything.”
Then, her face flushed.
At this moment, Alex could feel a beam of golden light, which was wish power entering his golden core. Alex glanced at Beatrice. He subconsciously went into his mind to brush on the wish power inside him.
Soon, the context of Beatrice’s wish appeared in his mind, but the moment he looked at it, he was dumbfounded… Beatrice’s wish was for her to be able to kiss him.
‘Oh my god!’
It looked like this wish power could never be converted into divine power because it was a wish that could never be realized.
“Tomorrow is New Year’s Eve!” Dorothy said before she placed a hand on her stomach and rubbed it.
She now hoped for days to pass faster so that the children in her womb could be born soon. She wanted to spend more time with her children.
***
In the blink of an eye, a day had passed. Today was New Year’s Eve, and every family in the country was celebrating it.
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 1892
The Rockefeller Manor garden was very lively, and many people had come.
Lust Cosmetics had been closed for the holidays earlier on, and Brittany and the group of women were all at home. When afternoon came, Michelle Yowell also came over. Then, Xyla Stoermer also came over, as well as Hailey Lawson, among others. They were all there at Rockefeller Manor to celebrate the New Year.
Bright lights were hung in front of Rockefeller Manor, and a large group of women were chatting and laughing together.
However, Alex’s mood was low.
Nora Stewart and Martiny Mayer had taken the group of people to Japan, and a week had already passed since then. Yet, there was still no news. Even last night, the communication that they had maintained daily had broken.
He couldn’t reach Snow Whitney either.
“Something must have happened!”
“But, with their lineup, they’re more than enough if they want to overturn Japan. The most important point here is that it’s impossible that their entire team has been annihilated, right?”
Alex went to look for Jade Benmore after that and told her about it.
Jade had jumped up. “Something must have happened! I need to head to Japan.”
Alex had grabbed her and said, “Master, what’s the use for you to go to Japan now? Your current body is no different than an ordinary person right now, and going there will be for nothing!”
Jade then just remembered that she had become a useless person now. The toxins in her body were raging, and she was using all her strength to suppress them to lessen the consumption of her life force. With all that, all her skills were equivalent to useless.
Bang!
Jade slammed her palm on the stool. As a result, her palm was red, but the stool remained unbroken.
She seemed stunned by this and finally closed her eyes weakly.
At this moment, Cheryl gave Alex a call and said, “Alex, we’ve found a patient zero here, and we’ve extracted some toxins from his body. It’s not the same as before, and this patient is also different from the others. Would you like to take a look? We may find antibodies in his body.”
“Oh? There’s a patient zero?”
Alex froze for a moment. “The source of the poison is from the Blood Cult. Even if patient zero is found, it shouldn’t matter too much, right? Why don’t you switch to video call and show me?”
“Alright!”
The call was hung up, and Cheryl soon called again, sending a video call invitation.
When Alex tapped the screen to accept it, he saw Cheryl’s face, and Alex’s face was also the first thing Cheryl saw.
Both of them were taken aback and asked in unison, “What happened to you?!”
Alex had lent his life force to Jade, so he had aged a lot. Even though he had continuously been recovering during this period and had absorbed quite a lot of Chaos Chi energy, it still couldn’t keep up with the continuous consumption of his life force. The changes were still pronounced.
As for Cheryl, she hadn’t slept well since Alex had left. She took a nap at most every day for half an hour before she was immediately back to engage in the high intensity work. She had lost weight, and her facial expression appeared extremely haggard, and the dark circles under her eyes were also very obvious.
After a few more words were exchanged, Cheryl aimed the camera at patient zero.
It was an underage boy, and he looked to be at most about ten years old. He was in a coma at the moment, and he lay motionless in the bed.
“He’s patient zero?” Alex asked.
“Yes!” Cheryl replied. “This patient is strange. We suspect he has been tortured, as there are many wounds on his body. Some of them are very shocking, and it’s very pitiful.”
The camera panned closer to the boy’s injuries, both large and small, and all the scars looked new. However, for a child to be hurt this way was extremely pitiful.
At this moment, Jade had leaned in to take a closer look. In the next second, her face changed, and she looked like she had seen a ghost as she exclaimed, “Blaze?!”
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 1893
Jade Benmore’s voice was loud and sharp, and she looked to be in an unstable mental state after that exclamation. Her eyes were fixed on the phone screen, and tears streamed down her face.
She was Jade Benmore!
She was a strong woman, the goddess of war, who had been waiting for death with no hint of emotions. Now, she looked excited and sad at seeing the little boy on the phone screen, it was quite unbelievable.
“Blaze? Master, you know this boy?” Alex looked at Jade in surprise.
Jade grabbed the phone and loudly said, “Point the camera at his face. I want to see his face… His forehead, show me his forehead.”
Cheryl didn’t know what was happening, but she quickly pointed to the camera as swiftly told, focusing on the boy’s forehead. Cheryl found that there seemed to be a mark on his forehead, a pattern of a flame.
Jade trembled all over in the next second. “Blaze, it’s really Blaze. He’s alive. He’s alive!”
She wrapped her arms around Alex and cried.
Alex was stunned. “Master, who is he?”
“He’s my son,” Jade said. “His name is Blaze Benmore.”
“What?!” Alex was shocked. “Master, you… Didn’t you say that you had no children?”
“I did. He’s my child…” Jade replied. “Though I didn’t birth him, I am his mother…”
As though she had recalled something painful, she trailed off, unable to say anymore.
After a few seconds, she immediately said, “Alex, hurry and tell me where he is. Take me there, I want to see him right away, now.”
“This… Alright.”
***
Alex quickly spoke to his family, and when everyone heard that Commander Benmore had found her lost son, they were happy for her and naturally didn’t say a word of protest to stop them.
Maya said considerately, “Do you want me to drive you there?”
After all, neither of them was in good shape.
Alex waved his hand and said, “It’s fine. I’ll take Whitey with us. It’ll be fine. You guys can go ahead and prepare the food. We’ll be back soon! By the way, I want to call a few others to come over for New Year’s Eve later, is that okay?”
“It’s up to you,” Maya said. “However many you want to call over.”
“Okay!”
Alex and Jade sat atop Whitey and sped towards Long Beach Mercy Hospital.
Jade spoke to Alex on the way there, telling him about Blaze, a child she had adopted more than thirty years ago. He was a talented child, born with fire attribute powers, and had strong combat capabilities. In addition, he was a kind boy.
“A child you adopted more than thirty years ago?” Alex’s eyes were wide. “Master, did you see wrongly then? That kid looks to be at most ten years old, and it can’t be a child you adopted more than thirty years ago, right? So according to the timeline, he should be in his thirties and older than me!”
Jade shook her head. “He’s like that. The speed of his growth is slower than an average person.”
Alex’s lips parted. He wanted to ask her what she meant by slower than an average person?
‘Was he born with dwarfism?’
Jade seemed to know what he was thinking and said, “Blaze wasn’t born with dwarfism, he’s just a talented person, and his physical growth is slow! He was about the same as Luna last time, looking about five to six years old. Of course, he’s grown a lot now.”
So, in other words, when an average person grew ten years, Blaze only grew one year.
That was just too exaggerated. Also, he could naturally breathe fire.
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 1894
That was more special than being a fire breathing god.
‘He couldn’t possibly be an alien, right?’
At this time, tears slid down Jade’s face again as she said, “I always thought that he was gone twenty years ago. I didn’t expect him to appear in front of me again. This must be god’s favor, to allow me to see him again. This time, I won’t lose him again.”
Alex was emotionally moved and asked, “Master, what happened twenty years ago?”
Jade wiped her tears and sniffed before saying, “Twenty years ago, when the ancient boundary was in turmoil and the monsters within launched a big scale assault, I led my troops to suppress them. At that time, my mother fell critically ill! Blaze contacted me, but I couldn’t get away, and I told him to take my mother to look for Xerxes… My ex-husband that is.”
Her eyes turned cold when she reached this point.
“My ex-husband is just like you, a skilled traditional doctor. But Blaze couldn’t find him because he was busy with other women! Blaze had the appearance of a seven year old, and he was so small, carrying my mother on his back as he came into the ancient boundary to look for me. Because he knew my mother didn’t have long, he wanted me to be able to see her one last time.”
“As a result, they fell into the enemy camp…” Jade choked up again and couldn’t speak anymore when she reached this point of her story.
Alex understood that this was probably the deepest pain in her heart.
Both son and mother had passed away in such circumstances, and her husband… Was with another woman. This was probably the reason they had divorced, which was personally an unbearable matter.
Jade pulled out a dark gold bracelet from her storage pouch.
“This is Blaze’s anklet! When I rushed over, I only found one of his broken legs… The entire place was filled with burnt, bloodied
corpses! My mother was breathing her last at that time, and before she died, she requested that I kill all these monsters to avenge Blaze.”
Alex sighed, inwardly saddened.
“Master, everything is in the past. If this is Blaze, I promise you. He will be cured!”
Jade nodded.
There was a strong maternal love in her eyes as she stared at the anklet.
***
Very soon, they arrived at Mercy Hospital.
Jade saw Blaze in an isolated ward, and she was extremely confident that this was Blaze Benmore, her son.
At this time, Cheryl had arrived, and the Fairy Doctor was also with her. When the Fairy Doctor saw Jade, she was surprised. Of course, she knew of Jade Benmore but seeing her appearance of an eighteen year old, she was more than surprised. She asked Alex, “Who is she? Why does she look so much like Commander Benmore? Is this her daughter?”
“She’s Commander Benmore, ” Alex replied.
“What?!”
The Fairy Doctor was flabbergasted. “Impossible, her body is weak, and there’s not a hint of a cultivation base in her. How could this be Commander Benmore?”
Alex shook his head. “Looks like Flying Eagles have yet to receive the news. My master was poisoned, and her cultivation has been completely destroyed. She’s no longer the commander of Flying Eagles.”
When the Fairy Doctor heard that, she almost started to doubt life.
Alex quietly touched her waist and said, “Enough, it’s not the time to discuss this. Let’s look at the child first. What have you found?”
The Fairy Doctor waved her hand, “Don’t ask me. I just found out that my medical skills are not as good as the female director of this ordinary hospital. I don’t know how she has attained such high-level medical achievements… Also, she doesn’t seem to be an ordinary person. Do you know her?”
Just as she said that, Cheryl rushed over and hugged Alex. Then, she took his face in her hands and said in a distressed manner, “Alex, how did you become like this? Are you alright? Can you recover?”
The Fairy Doctor went stiff at the display of affection, not knowing what to do with herself.
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 1895
Cheryl Coney was completely sincere. She was distressed, and she wasn’t bothered about what other people thought.
“It’s fine!” Alex said. “It’ll be fine after some time! As for you, how many days have you not slept? I could already tell that you were in such a haggard state the last time I saw you. Seriously, you haven’t slept for a week, right?”
“I’m fine. The situation is urgent.”
“Then, that’s even more reason you have to take care of yourself!” At this time, he looked at Guilherme. “Guilherme, you have to watch over her on your side and not let her be so rash. When it’s time to sleep, she should sleep. If your brain doesn’t get rest, it doesn’t matter how much research you do, it would be useless.”
Guilherme stood at the side and said, “It’s not that I haven’t tried to persuade her before, but this girl has too valiant of a heart, and she pays more attention to the safety of the patient than anything else. All my advice was for naught.”
Alex was touched but also depressed at the same time. He held Cheryl close to him. “Close your eyes.”
Then, he placed both his hands on the sides of her waist
He poured spiritual power from his golden core continuously into her body. In addition, he also grabbed a handful of Chaos Chi energy produced by the Chaos Tree to pour into her, to help her repair her tired nerves quickly.
The Fairy Doctor stood by, watching the two behave so intimately, feeling disappointed in her heart.
***
At this moment, Jade was hugging the little boy inside, crying hard.
It had been twenty years, and she had thought he had died a long time ago. She had even personally built a grave back in Oregon for her son and had buried Blaze’s broken leg in that grave.
Now, lost and recovered, she wept with joy.
Alex had released Cheryl now and walked into the room. Jade pulled Alex over and said, “Alex, come, take a look at my son. His breathing is weak. Is he in danger? Alex, you have to save him. I will give you anything you want.”
“Master,” Alex said. “We’re family, and we should stick together. Of course, I will do my best to help him.”
He gave Blaze a once over with his Third Eye, then took his pulse. Alex’s brow furrowed immediately.
“What is it?” Jade said. “What did you see?’
“That’s strange.” Alex was still frowning.
Cheryl, Guilherme, as well as the Fairy Doctor had also entered the ward.
“It’s bizarre indeed,” Cheryl said. “I’ve never encountered anything like this before.”
Alex closed his eyes, then opened it again. His Divine Eye was completely opened. He looked at Blaze again and found some clues… Inside Blaze’s body, ancient runes were flowing naturally in him, permeating his whole body. His pulse was sometimes like turbulent waves, sometimes like a steady stream of water. However, every time he took a breath, the ancient runes would fluctuate.
These forces were protecting his body.
In addition, his Divine Collection was half opened. Alex let out a long breath, then looked at Jade and asked, “Master, where did you find this child?”
“In a ruin,” Jade replied. “It was thirty three years ago…”
When she said that, Cheryl and the Fairy Doctor, who were unaware of the situation, inevitably had another suspicion in their minds. As for Alex, he had a strange look in his eyes as he said, “Master, strictly speaking, your son is not human.”
Everyone present was stunned.
“Alex, don’t spew nonsense,” the Fairy Doctor said. “He’s human. I’ve checked him over. He’s definitely not a demon.”
“He’s not a monster either.”
“He’s neither a demon nor monster or human,” Alex said. “He’s a god!”
Everyone was speechless.
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 1896
Jade Benmore furrowed her brows. “Alex, what are you talking about?”
“Regulation runes are protecting his body,” Alex said. “And his innate divine collection is half opened, and he has three pulses, which is nothing like we’ve seen in this world. He’s a natural born god. If he’s not an offspring that had been carefully bred by someone super strong, he may be a reincarnation instead! So, Master, when you said that he lost a leg previously, but now he has a healthy limb, it’s because of the regenerative function of his divine body.”
The more Jade listened, the more her eyes were about to bulge out.
“My son is a god?!”
“You can’t be talking about myths, right?” Cheryl said.
“Right, yes, I remember now,” Guilherme said. “My master once said that a god’s body has three pulses, and there are three sets in total, and they can’t lack any one of them. They are separated into a human pulse, an immortal pulse, and a divine pulse! Oh my god, I always thought that gods were just myths and that they don’t exist at all. I didn’t expect that they really do exist in the world?”
Alex smiled. He obviously believed in gods. Ksitigarbha was also considered to be a god, and his ancestors were also gods.
How could there be no gods in this world?
Only, this was his first time seeing someone naturally born with a divine body.
“For a naturally born divine body protected by runes, he shouldn’t have been reduced to this state,” Alex said. “His own body has strong recovery abilities, so he must have suffered something impossible for him to overcome. If I’m not mistaken, someone was studying his body and had injected toxins into him to suppress his regenerative abilities. That’s why he’s in this state.”
Jade trembled in anger when she heard this, and her heart ached badly.
“Cheryl, how did he come to be admitted to the hospital?” Alex asked.
Cheryl immediately called the person in charge to come over. Once she asked, they found out that Blaze had been involved in an accident where a motorcycle had hit him. The motorcyclist had run away after it happened and had yet to be found.
A divine body in this state after just getting hit by a motorcycle? Who would believe that?
So, there must be a greater secret behind this being hidden. Yet, without Blaze being awake, no one would know what it was.
Jade immediately made a call to the tactician, Eleanor Curtis!
“Eleanor, it’s me, Jade!”
“Jade, how are you feeling now?” Eleanor asked in concern.
“I’m fine, I… I found Blaze…”
“What?! Blaze… is not dead?”
That year when Blaze had carried Jade’s mother on his back and entered the ancient boundary, Eleanor had been with Jade, and she was well aware of the entire ins and outs of this matter.
“Yes, I want to check on his previous whereabouts now.”
“Alright, I’ll have someone look into it right away.”
At this moment, Alex had struck nine Zharvakko Talisman into Blaze’s body and said to Jade, “Master, don’t worry, he’s being protected by his divine body and has survived being poisoned continuously before this. There won’t be any problem from now on. You just need to give him time, and I believe he will heal on his own.”
Then, he turned to Cheryl and said, “He has a divine body, and the regulation runes are protecting him, and it’s not that there are antibodies in his body. Even if there is, it’s likely impossible to use it even if we manage to extract it from his body. An ordinary person’s body wouldn’t handle the power from the regulation runes, and it would probably push their bodies faster towards death instead!”
“Alright, today is New Year’s Eve. Though you’re the dean, you also need to rest. Why don’t you come over to my house for New Year’s?”
Cheryl froze for a moment. “To your house? Your wife doesn’t like me, right?”
“Are you scared?”
“I’m not! It’s not like you both have a marriage certificate, so all of us are on equal grounds.”
Soon, everyone, including Blaze, all went to the Rockefeller residence in California.
When Dorothy Assex caught sight of Cheryl, she snorted. “Doctor Coney, to what do we owe your honorable presence in my house on this New Year’s Eve?”
Cheryl pulled Alex and puffed out her chest and said, “My boyfriend asked me to come. Do you have any objections?”
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 1897
Dorothy Assex looked at her and chuckled. “Doctor Coney, I can tell that you’re quite the traditional girl and still a virgin. So, I should be responsible for telling you that your boyfriend is not the kind of man who will love only you in this life. You still have time to turn back now.”
Cheryl’s face was surprised and angry at the same time, but she held Alex’s hand and refused to let go.
Alex didn’t expect Dorothy to attack Cheryl from the start, even before entering the door. It seems that Dorothy’s resentment toward Cheryl since the beginning still ran deep. Otherwise, why didn’t she say anything to Waltz or Maya?
He felt a little regret bringing Cheryl home now.
At that time, he had been swept up at the moment. When he thought about how she was alone in the laboratory, studying the antidote day and night, and on New Year’s Eve, it was just too pitiful.
That was why he had invited her along. Now, it looked like something was going to happen.
Alex hurriedly said, “It’s New Year’s Eve. Why are we talking about this? It’s just a get together for a meal.”
“Anyway, I was just giving her a reminder,” Dorothy said.
Cheryl suddenly said, “Miss Assex, since you’re so dissatisfied with Alex, why do you still refuse to leave after getting a divorce?”
Dorothy was blindsided, and she had no reply to that. Finally, the corners of her lips drooped as she said, “Do whatever you want. Since you’re so persistent, then you’re welcome to join our big family.”
Then, she shot Alex a fierce glare. “I’ve been feeling like throwing up these days, and I love to eat sour things. Go and buy me some sour plums.”
“Uh… Okay!”
Cheryl was a traditional doctor, and when she heard Dorothy felt like throwing up and craving sour things, she looked at Dorothy’s belly in surprise. The moment she did, she could already tell. “Are you pregnant?”
Dorothy lifted her chin and said, “Yes! And it’s quadruplets. You have to buck up. By the time you give birth, you’ll probably be the seventh or eighth!”
Cheryl’s eyes trembled.
At this time, Dorothy yelled out, “Sisters, hurry and come over here. Alex has brought a child back. Maybe it’s his illegitimate child?”
Jade gave Dorothy a hard look.
Alex quickly said, “Don’t talk nonsense! This is my master’s son, and he’s even older than you!”
Dorothy covered her mouth in a hurry, a surprised look on her face.
At this time, the people in the manor had heard that Alex had brought an illegitimate child back, and it was like it had stirred up a hornet’s nest. All of the women came out.
The one in front to reach first was Michelle Yowell. “Where? Where’s Alex’s illegitimate child?
“Oh my, he’s so big? Is this the child’s mother, so young! She’s even younger than me! Alex, you’re always going after the young ones, isn’t that too much? When you made this child, wasn’t she still just a primary school student?”
Michelle had not met Jade before, and that was why she was causing such a ruckus.
Alex rolled his eyes. “A brain is a good thing to have, but your good traits have clearly all gone to your chest.”
Michelle shoved him and said, “Isn’t it all your fault? You agreed to treat me, but there hasn’t been anything up till now. I even almost fell down the stairs!”
“Why? Did you lose your balance?”
“I couldn’t see the steps!”
Everyone laughed so hard their stomachs hurt.
Michelle stomped her feet on the ground. “You guys are all laughing. How could you still laugh at that? Where’s the sympathy?!”
“How do you expect my brother-in-law to treat you for this, Michelle?” Beatrice asked.
“Massage… Gosh, I won’t tell you. What does a little kid like you know?”
“Tsk, what don’t I know? Isn’t it because you like my brother-in-law and want to take advantage of him?”
“Beatrice Assex, who doesn’t know about you yet? I heard that you fell asleep during a big class, and when the teacher called your name, you even called out, ‘Brother-in-law, don’t! Brother-in-law, no!’ What else do you have to say?”
Both girls were students at California University, and they were pretty familiar with each other. This tit-for-tat confrontation dumbfounded everyone present.
Especially… Cheryl.
She was dazzled by so many hidden beauties Alex had in his house, and her mind was spinning wildly. Her mind was blank, and the only thought in her mind was, ‘All of these are Alex’s women?!’
Waltz, Maya, the Assex siblings, Michelle…
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 1898
Freya Mayer, Xyla Stoermer, the girls from the Eight Desolated Killing Formation…
There was also Hailey Lawson and Nora Stewart…
All of these beauties that surrounded him, there were more than twenty in total.
This was ridiculous!
Did he consider himself to be an emperor of ancient times?
Cheryl Coney felt like fainting at this moment.
Dorothy Assex seemed to feel Cheryl’s earth-shattering shock. She smiled at Cheryl and said, “How do you find it? Joining our big family is heart warming, right?”
Cheryl’s face was pale, and she glanced at Alex, then shook her head subconsciously. “No, I… I don’t feel well. I’ll take my leave first.”
To her, this matter was like a bolt out of the blue. ‘If he wasn’t a scumbag, then what was he?’
Her father had betrayed her mother and had driven her into her death from rage, and Cheryl still hated him till now! But Alex had more than twenty women, and she felt like her contribution was like a joke.
Over twenty women, which place did she rank in his heart?
Over ten? Or over twenty?
Her eyes were red-rimmed in an instance. She took the chance to turn and fled the manor before the tears fell.
When Alex saw this, he hurriedly chased after her. “Cheryl, where are you going?”
Cheryl burst into tears and said, “Don’t follow me. I need to calm down.”
Alex chased after her still, but she shook him off. “Don’ t touch me!”
“Cheryl…”
“Don’t follow me!”
Cheryl’s gaze was like a knife, and she shot him a fierce glare before she turned around and left.
Guilherme followed after and hurriedly said to Alex, “Master, I will follow her. She will be fine. Rest assured!”
Alex smacked his head a few times, his mind was amess. He cursed how foolish he had been. He already knew that Cheryl had been traumatized before, and yet he still asked her to come to this kind of occasion. What should he do now?
Dorothy had walked over to him at this time. “Reluctant to let her go?”
Alex glanced at her and said nothing.
“Hey, are you angry? Blame me for chasing your girlfriend off in anger?”
“No…”
“Humph. I’m not the one who angered her and chased her off. She’s angry at you! Fortunately, both of you have yet to progress to that point. If a traditional woman like her had given you everything and found out that you were a liar in the end, what would happen to her? She would go to extreme lengths.”
“I never lied to her!”
“But, did you ever tell her how many women you have?”
‘Was that a lot?’ Alex counted it himself. The real deal was Dorothy. Then, there was Waltz, Maya, Phoebe, Luna, the Fairy
Doctor, plus Zendaya. Only Waltz and Maya were in a normal relationship with him, and the others were slightly complicated.
However, no matter how be counted, he wasn’t a good person. Seven of them, he was like an emperor in ancient times that had a harem.
“Sigh…”
“Maybe you’re right!”
Dorothy’s expression turned cold. “You should be thankful that my previous life is close to awakening. Otherwise, all these concubines that you have, whatever their names, Waltz, Maya… I wouldn’t let you keep a single one!”
“Uhm..?”
“But, after I give birth to our four children, and if I’m no longer around, allow them to address Beatrice as their mother!”
“Huh? What do you mean?”
“Figure it out yourself!”
Having said that, she turned around and went back. Alex was about to give chase when a call came in. He pulled out his phone to see that it was Snow Whitney, who hadn’t contacted him for a while.
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 1899
Alex immediately picked up the call, but he didn’t expect that instead of Snow Whitey’s voice, it was Martiny Mayer’s voice that came through. She sounded anxious on the phone, “Alex, I have limited time. Listen closely, go to the Flying Eagles Academy, find the gatekeeper, Uncle Drake, and have him bring the Exorcism Bell to Japan at Kaga…”
As soon as she reached this point, a loud ‘boom’ could be heard from the other end.
Then, Alex seemed to hear a gloomy voice before the call was cut off abruptly.
Beep beep beep…
Hearing the tone of a cut line on the phone, Alex’s heart thumped wildly in his chest. He knew that Martiny and the others must have encountered trouble in Japan.
He hurried back and found Jade Benmore. “Master, I have something to tell you.”
She looked at Alex’s expression and knew that something big must have happened.
Everyone watched Jade and Alex walk to a corner and wondered what had happened. The chatter and laughter that had permeated the place from the celebration of the year end also gradually quieted down.
Alex explained what had happened to Jade, then asked, “Master, do you know where the Izanami Shrine in Japan is?”
“I’ve never heard of it,” Jade said. “But, Uncle Drake from the Flying Eagles Academy is a hidden master. He’s a Dragon Guardian from the Exorcist Dragons. Since Martiny told you this, there must be a reason! How about this, the Fairy Doctor is more familiar with Uncle Drake, so you and the Fairy Doctor should go to the academy immediately… Though it’s New Year’s Eve tonight, I’ll have to leave this to you.”
Alex nodded. “Saving people comes first. New Year’s can be celebrated every year after all.”

Very soon, Alex found the Fairy Doctor and told her about the situation. Then, he briefly explained the situation to Brittany and the others before leaving Rockefeller Manor.
Freya really wanted to follow them, but her cultivation base was still not sufficient, so she could only wait anxiously in the manor. To go to the Flying Eagles Academy, they would ride the Fairy Doctor‘s flying treasure.
It was a magic gourd. It extremely fit the Fairy Doctor’s image.
The journey was smooth and quick as lightning. While navigating the gourd, the Fairy Doctor sat in Alex’s lap. She hugged his neck and said, “Alex, I didn’t know that you were so popular with women.”
“…”
“So, I don’t care how many women you have.” As she said that, she leaned in to kiss him.
As for the matter with Cheryl, Alex felt a little unhappy, and he wasn’t really interested. However, the Fairy Doctor was persistent and tried desperately to tease him until he was riled up. Then, she giggled and jumped away from him. “You’re not in good condition now. It’s better to save and recharge your energy. Do you feel better now?”
It turned out that the Fairy Doctor had worked so hard just so that he felt better.
Alex let out a breath. “Yeah, I feel better.”
She smiled and patted him. “That’s why having too many women is not necessarily a good thing. First, you won’t have enough energy, and second, your harem will get unstable. In fact, everyone has their view on feelings. It’s not selfish; it’s just a fact.”
“Do you also feel the same?” Alex asked.
“Of course,” the Fairy Doctor replied. “I also felt uncomfortable and disappointed when I saw you embracing that female doctor unless I didn’t feel anything for you! Or, if I had another man in my heart.”
Alex furrowed his brows.
The Fairy Doctor smiled, then kissed the corner of his mouth. “Do you feel uncomfortable now? This is a universal principle! If you want many women who won’t leave you, it will cost you a lot! I’ve seen this from my godbrother.”
Alex smiled wryly.
More than half a year ago, he never thought that he would have so many women. He couldn’t even keep the one woman he had, Dorothy.
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 1900
And now, things have changed so significantly.
Forget it. He should accept the circumstances with goodwill!
Alex felt himself to be a prey in terms of emotions, a prey that the women were fighting and chasing after, while he… He had only been a hunter when he had pursued Dorothy when he was in school!
All of this was not something he wanted. As the saying goes, if there was nothing in the first place, what was there to attract?
While he was smiling wryly to himself, they had reached the Flying Eagles Academy. As soon as Alex and the Fairy Doctor entered the gates, they saw several students whispering in small groups of two to three, and some had even set up booths to carry out business.
Alex later learned that most of these students were from the Gossip Club, and by gathering at the gates, they could collect the latest information about the school and communicate with each other. Even personal information could be traded freely here.
When they caught sight of the Fairy Doctor, they immediately started to greet her.
“Instructor Fairy Doctor, hello!”
Then, some of them turned to greet Alex immediately after. “Hello, Senior Alex!”
The attitude and enthusiasm that they greeted him with were even more enthusiastic than the greeting they had given the Fairy Doctor.
Alex was curious and looked at a chubby student and said, “I’m not a senior. I’ve just been in the academy for a couple of days.”
The chubby student was overwhelmed by the attention Alex gave him and said, “Senior, you’re so humble. You’re the student who graduated the fastest from the Flying Eagles Academy and a disciple under Commander Benmore. Your knowledge in formation is profound. You’re the model of our generation! I’m Stevie from the Gossip Club. It’s a lifelong honor to be able to meet with you today. Could you autograph my thigh?”
Alex didn’t know that he had become famous due to the battle in Kala Temple, as those who had returned from Kala Temple had leaked his information. Now, he was already a hot and popular figure in the academy, and even in the combat strength leaderboard of the academy, there were uncertain comments that Alex was probably the strongest in the rankings…
However, those comments were still a parenthesis.
The chubby student was about to pull up his pants to reveal his thighs when the Fairy Doctor swooped in and kicked him aside. “Get lost!”
Not only was the chubby student not angry at getting a kick from the Fairy Doctor’s fragrant leg, but he also seemed to look as though he had landed a jackpot instead and was giggling happily to himself.
Soon, the Fairy Doctor and Alex both entered the gatekeeper’s communication room to find Uncle Drake, who was in a sleepy state.
The Fairy Doctor got straight to the point and said, “Uncle Drake, something has happened to Martiny.”
Boom!
Uncle Drake, who seemed to be as silent as the Dead Sea, and his cultivation base was not visible at all, suddenly looked like a volcano had erupted, the essence leaking out seemed to rush straight up to the sky.
Those people at the academy entrance couldn’t ensure such an oppressive aura, and they screamed and fell to the ground. They looked at the communication room in horror and wondered what had happened inside.
“What has happened to the Dragon Lord?” Uncle Drake had stood up in that instant.
It turned out that the Exorcist Dragons’ current leaders had the title of ‘Dragon Lord’. Meanwhile, Martiny was the current generation’s Dragon Lord, who was also the true master of Uncle Drake.
Alex was astonished at the strength of Martiny’s position and identity and said, “Something has happened to her in Japan. She said she was in some shrine called Izanami and asked you to bring the Exorcism Bell and look for her! And then, she seemed to say Koga or was it Kaga something. But then, the call was cut off, and she must have encountered some danger… There are also eight masters from Flying Eagles with her.”
“The Exorcism Bell?”
When Uncle Drake heard that, his eyes widened. “You didn’t hear that wrongly, did you?”
