Ch. 191..200

The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 191

Upon hearing Alex’s words, everyone widened their eyes, as if they had just hallucinated.

Priscilla had always been a nobody in Devil Coven, she was just a side character. They only asked her to join the club because she looked like a pushover, so they could order her around to run errands for them, just like a slave.

However, it must be a joke for sending a nobody like her onstage to defeat Trevor. After all, anyone bulkier in California State University could defeat Priscilla in a flash!

Priscilla was stunned as well, she hurriedly waved her hands in denial. “I, I… I can’t do that! I can’t fight onstage, let alone defeat him. How could I possibly go up there and fight him when Sis Henderson lost to him too?”

Alex replied, “Didn’t you say that you’ll believe me? Trust me, you will definitely win the fight. Annalise lost, but that doesn’t mean you will too. Go on, you can do it.”

Everyone from Devil Coven stared at Alex with a puzzled look on their faces, thinking that he was insane. Just then, Annalise, who limped over with the help of some club members, scoffed, “Priscilla Paytas is weak, she can’t even defeat me even if I just used a finger. Having her onstage is akin to leading her to her demise.”

While speaking, Annalise sized Alex up thoroughly. When they were walking to the clubhouse earlier, Annalise paid no attention to him at all. Only now did this outsider catch her attention after his intimate relationship with Michelle was revealed.

However, no matter how she looked at him, the man was just way too average. She could not sense anything out of ordinary about the man.

Michelle was appalled too, so she asked Alex, “Hey, what are you up to? Priscilla can’t fight at all, she’s just an errand girl.”

The little devil’s personality was just as blunt as can be. Anyone else wouldn’t be so blunt, especially in front of the person that they were talking about. However, she did not care about that.

Priscilla’s face flushed, her eyes were filled with a hint of determination. Clenching her teeth, she said, “Fine, I’ll go up there.”

She didn’t want to be looked down upon by Annalise and Michelle any longer. Their words had pierced her heart, those scornful stares from the rest of Devil Coven had her struggling for the longest time.

Worse came to worst, she would be beaten up but that was not a big deal.

Alex smiled, as if he were praising her. “That’s right, go up there. I’ll treat you to a meal after you defeat him.”

Priscilla nodded her head profusely. “I trust you.”

With that, she walked up to the stage without any hesitation.

The members of Devil Coven were shocked, with their mouth agape.

Narrowing her eyes, Annalise stared at Priscilla and huffed. She shook her head and thought, “What an idiot. Does she really think she’s some blessed child? If you want to go up there and suffer, then so be it.”

Michelle, however, was unsure about her doubts. After all, she had seen Alex’s unworldly powers.

She believed that Alex had something up his sleeve, but she just couldn’t figure it out. She also wanted to see how Priscilla could defeat Trevor, hence she didn’t utter a word to stop her.

Just then, the whole clubhouse was heated, because lots of students in the university recognized Priscilla. Shocked, they exclaimed.

“What? Isn’t that Priscilla Paytas? A nobody in Devil Coven, I think she’s an errand girl.”

“What is she doing up there? To clean up?”

“She’s probably there to wipe off the blood. There are blood stains on the stage, isn’t there?”

“Oh, so that’s why.”

Everyone sounded like they had just solved a mystery.

Trevor heard the audiences’ chatters as well. So, he took a glance at Priscilla before taking a few steps back and said, “You’re here to wipe the blood right? Do it quickly then, get off the stage immediately after you’re done.”

Priscilla gulped, she was very nervous. After all, she did not give up and run away after mustering up the courage. After stepping foot on the stage, she did a ridiculous stance.

It was Chuck Norris’s classic stance in the movies! She spoke up, “I, I’m not here to wipe up the blood. I’m, I’m here to fight you!”

Huh?

What?

Everyone in the hall burst into laughter Trevor paused for a brief moment. “Who are you? Are you from Devil Coven too?”

Priscilla nodded. “Yeah, that’s right I’m Pricilla Paytas from Devil Coven.”

Her voice slowly trailed off, as if she was mumbling to herself.

“I’ve never heard of anyone called Priscilla Paytas. What makes you think that you can challenge me? What’s your rank on Devil Coven’s leaderboard?”

“I rank, this.”

Priscilla reached a finger out, it was her pinky. Her expression was slightly goofy as well.

The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 192

“How dare you fool around?!”

Trevor was fuming as he thought that was Devil Coven’s scheme, by sending some nobody to the stage, or trying to stall for some time.

He lunged at Priscilla and swung a slap toward her. Trevor wanted to put the useless trash’s lights out with a slap, in order to show the power and majesty of the president of Green Dragons.

“Ah!” Priscilla screamed and blocked it with her hands instinctively.

A flow of Chi gushed out of her body.

Smack!

Trevor’s slap landed on Priscilla’s wrists.

Just then, Trevor suddenly felt an extremely powerful and numbing flow of energy rushing toward him.

Wham!

Trevor’s whole body flew high over the stage’s rails and fell hard to the ground, with his long hair standing straight up on his head. His whole body was trembling, with his mouth agape as though a mist of black miasma coming out of his mouth.

Everyone in the hall fell silent due to shock, they couldn’t believe their eyes.

Michelle widened her eyes as well, staring in disbelief.

Annalise’s eyes widened, with her mouth agape, she could not believe it at all as she watched the scene unfolded.

Even Priscilla herself was appalled. She just closed her eyes and blocked his slap. However, just as she opened her eyes, she realized that Trevor was gone, he was now off the stage.

She rushed to the side of the stage and asked timidly, “Why… why are you down there?”

Barf!

Trevor vomited a pool of blood and lost consciousness.

Priscilla Paytas versus Trevor Newman. Priscilla won!

The members of Devil Coven were shocked, some even had their palms on their foreheads. No one could describe their feelings at that moment.

Michelle turned to Alex. “What have you done to her?”

Alex smiled. Suddenly, a loud huff came from the crowd. Everyone was startled by the huff as their hearts raced wildly in fear. This was a phenomenon due to the burst of inner force, which could terrorize others with the power of a voice.

Soon after, a man in his thirties with immense aura jumped onto the stage.

“You, how dare you hurt my disciple! Chop off one of your hands right now and get lost!” The man glared coldly at Priscilla.

Priscilla trembled in fear due to the man’s terrifying stare, she couldn’t say a word at all.

More importantly, the Chi that Alex had channelled into her body was depleted since that was just a one time use of Chi. If they were to fight now, Priscilla would be in grave danger.

Alex took a cold glance at the man onstage, extremely infuriated. Even though the man was just an Advanced-Royal ranked fighter, he dared come to the university campus and got involved with their club fights. Alex thought that this man was nothing but shameful.

“That’s your call.”

Alex turned to Michelle and said, “Substitute Priscilla and go up there.”

Michelle was startled. “I’m not fully healed yet. If I use my inner force now, I’d…”

Alex interrupted, “You’re cured.” “What are you saying?”

“Try it out.”

Michelle tried activating her Chi. It would seem that the immense pain in her heart had disappeared, she was so relieved that she wanted to cheer out loud.

“Haha! I am really cured! I knew it, I’ll be cured as long as you touch me! Alright then, since you have cured me with your touch, I won’t haggle about my first kiss that was stolen by you last night,” Michelle said loudly and screamed as she charged for the stage.

However, Alex was glared at by multiple pairs of eyes.

Some thought, ‘This jerk, how dare he steal Michelle’s first kiss! Oh my god, this brute!’

Within the crowd were Beatrice’s eyes, she had been watching their interactions the whole time.

The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 193

Thud!

Under the crowd’s gasps, Michelle leaped over the rails and landed on the stage.

As Michelle landed on the stage, the bouncy movements of her huge busts awed everyone, widening their eyes, especially the male students, they were even more jealous of Alex upon seeing such a view.

Michelle grabbed Priscilla and shifted her to the back. She glared at the arrogant middle-aged man and said, “I’m your opponent now!”

Priscilla dared not stay on the stage any longer. Hence, she hurriedly ran off, holding her hands together, terrified.

Alex patted her on her shoulder and smiled warmly. “You did great, I told you that you’d win.”

“Did… I really win?”

Many people, who were standing aside, stared at Priscilla and rolled their eyes.

Annalise frowned and stared at Priscilla, she couldn’t understand the sudden burst of her ability at all. She then came to a conclusion that Trevor went off the deep end from overworking his powers. She couldn’t think of any other way that Priscilla was able to defeat Trevor.

However, never did she think that Alex was the wirepuller and helped her win. After all, that was completely out of her thinking box, she couldn’t possibly come to that conclusion unless she had gone mad.

At this moment, the man on the stage stared at Michelle’s chest. He looked fairly eager and said, “You’re Michelle Yowell? You really are packing huh? You can’t even beat my disciple, are you sure you want to fight me, young girl? How about this, I’ll give you a great offer. Admit defeat and be mine for three days, then I’ll let you go.”

“What?!”

Such words not only caused an uproar within Devil Coven, but the students of California State University were enraged too.

This was a school and they were still students. However, this old man strutted around as if he ruled the campus, and even wanted the top-notch campus belle to sleep with him for three days. This was absolutely atrocious and immoral.

Even Alex glared at him with murderous intent. However, after analyzing the man, Alex was able to sense something.

The man on the stage had strong Chi, but it was gloomy and dark Even the man’s eyes were filled with evil and lust as he continued staring at Michelle.

“A shadowman!” Alex was startled upon identifying the man’s identity. Furthermore, this shadowman was the lowest of the low, who was specialized in stealing Yin from women.

Since Michelle practiced Slunce Jauda, her Yin was strong. That was the reason that the man had his eyes on her.

In the next second, Michelle attacked the man immediately. She was hot-tempered after all, how could she endure such humiliation by a disgusting man? Moreover, anger had been welled up inside her for quite a while but she could not find a way to vent it. So, this man was the perfect punching bag.

“Die!” Michelle jumped into mid air and spun vigorously, focusing all the energy of Slunce Jauda onto her legs. She then flung her legs toward the evil, lustful man.

The man, on the other hand, was there to watch her battle with Trevor. He thought that her skills were no match for him, hence, he decided to block her attack with just one hand.

However, just from this impact, his arm was almost fractured.

Her inner force that was filled with Slunce Jauda flowed out of her meridians, converting into a powerful energy.

The man was shocked and hurriedly took a few steps back.

Witnessing such a wild and enjoyable performance, the crowd was uplifted. Everyone started exclaiming, they were amazed by Michelle’s skills. The members of Devil Coven screamed and cheered loudly for Michelle as well.

Meanwhile, the members of Green Dragons were ashen-faced, staring in disbelief.

The man on stage was Steven Musker, he was indeed Trevor’s master. He contributed much to Trevor’s improvement in martial arts, by several levels in such a short time.

Yet, a powerful man like him retreated after being struck by Michelle.

The crowd thought, “How did she do it?”

However, Steven looked even more excited than before, as if his interest toward Michelle grew with the increasing headstrongness in Michelle. When the time came, stealing her Yin would be better than those that he had collected from dozens of TBU students recently.

“Ha!”

“Let’s end this, young lady!”

The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 194

Steven smiled slyly and roared. He was supplemented with the sudden burst of odd, evil inner force inside his body as red flashes flickered in his eyes. Just as Michelle was about to strike him with her palm, he countered her attack with his as well.

Bang!

A loud explosion echoed through the hall.

Steven had a condensed special energy hidden in his palm, penetrating into Michelle’s meridians. It was his most powerful skill as a shadowman, a skill with the effect of seduction. Hence, he didn’t care at all that Michelle knocked him back with a palm strike, because he knew he would win in the end.

He even snapped his fingers and said, “Stop!”

However, his all-winning skill lost its effect today.

Michelle lunged at him with extremely fierce and sharp movements. She flung a leg up and hit his head hard.

“What?”

Bam!

Steven fell to the ground with his eyes rolled back and fainted.

As his consciousness started fading, one last thought appeared in his mind. “How could this be?”

He didn’t know that Alex had left a flow of his Chi in Michelle as well.

Alex’s Chi from the Force mostly came from his ancestor’s celestial breath. The Chi had a lightning element and healing properties, it was to help him learn the basics of The Ultimate Book of Medicine. At the same time, it had a great advantage in exorcising evil spirits and corrupted energy.

Steven’s seduction power was extinguished as soon as it entered Michelle’s body, hence the effect was invalid.

With just one kick, the outcome was determined!

Everyone from Devil Coven cheered out loud.

The rest of California State University clapped loudly as well.

Michelle had turned the tables around, she went from vomiting blood to staring down at Trevor, who was off the stage. With a sweet baby-like voice, she said, “Trevor Newman, I, Michelle Yowell, will protect California State University! If you dare to bully anyone from our university again, I’ll make sure to terminate everyone from Green Dragons!”

Thunderous claps followed afterwards. Many students started chanting, “Get out of California State University!”

Someone yelled, “Green Dragons? More like Green Pests! You guys don’t have the skills nor morals! How dare you ask an old gangster to bully our students. Look at you now! You lost, huh? All hail Devil Coven! All hail Michelle Yowell!”

Loud and enthusiastic cheers echoed in the clubhouse. At this moment, even Beatrice, who was standing in the crowd, stared at Michelle with admiration. Her eyes glistened with excitement.

Even though she was just a powerless, feminine maiden, she still dreamed of becoming a hero or fighter. She wanted to become a just and empowering martial art master too.

The dust settled, the members of Green Dragons retreated gloomily.

Michelle jumped off the stage and approached Alex, folding her arms behind her back. Her prideful yet gorgeous expression stunned everyone in the hall.

“How did I do?” She asked proudly.

“So so!” Alex said, “But you have to beware of that old man, he’s a dangerous fellow.”

“I’ve beaten him, so why should I be afraid of him? He should fear me instead!” Michelle replied dismissively.

Alex couldn’t tell exactly the threats that Steven had up his sleeve. After all, he wasn’t an all-knowing god, he had never seen Steven’s seduction powers too. Hence, he couldn’t give an opinion on it and just nodded. “You did good!”

He then continued, “Are you busy later? I have something to ask of you, let’s get something to eat together then?”

“Sure…”

Michelle was extremely popular in California State University. She had to greet quite a few people before leaving.

However, Alex had promised to treat Priscilla to a meal, so he invited her along.

Michelle invited Annalise along as well.

As they were still choosing the location of the eatery, a girl rushed up to them and called out to Alex, “Brother-in-law!”

In that instant, Alex froze. Never did he expect that Beatrice came to the imiversity too.

Most surprisingly of all, Beatrice called him brother-in-law, so he thought that she might have gone mad.

The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 195

“The bourgeois campus belle, Beatrice Assex?”

“You’re…”

Both Annalise and Priscilla stared at Beatrice in disbelief, they then turned to Alex. Based on their observation, they perceived that Alex was Michelle’s boyfriend. Why else would they be touching and kissing?

They thought that Michelle would snap and beat Alex up, even Beatrice thought so.

She referred to Alex as her brother-in-law just to expose Alex’s identity. She wanted to tell Michelle that he was a married man, who was playing with her feelings.

From what she knew of Michelle, she would definitely beat him up.

However, to her demise, nothing happened at all. Michelle was slightly surprised as she said, “Beatrice Assex, you’re Alex’s sister-in-law? You should have said so sooner! If someone troubles you in the university, you can mention my name and I’ll protect you.”

“What?” The three ladies were appalled with her words as they thought, “What’s happening here? Your boyfriend is someone else’s brother-in-law. How could you not get mad at all? Could it be that you..? Like being a homewrecker?”

Alex indifferently took a glance at Beatrice, he knew what she was up to with just one look. He asked, “Do you need something?”

Beatrice’s mouth was agape, yet no words could come out.

The events unfolded in a way that was beyond her expectation. She was so shocked that she couldn’t answer his question, all she could do was freeze in place.

Alex said, “You should go home as quickly as possible if you don’t need anything. Your sister must be working to her core. You have nothing to do all daylong, yet you don’t even help out at home. Your mom can’t cook, then you should learn to do so. Go home! Oh, and mind your mouth, don’t you dare spew nonsense. Or else… Hmph!”

Everyone at the scene was dead silent, especially Annalise and Priscilla, they wondered if their ears were malfunctioning. Why else would such a ridiculous thing happen right in front of their eyes?

Michelle suggested, “Beatrice, we’re going to go somewhere outside for a meal. Do you want to come with us?”

Before Beatrice could reply, Alex said, “There’s no need for that. No appetite for the meal if we were to eat together.”

Michelle froze, as she wasn’t sure if he was talking about himself or Beatrice.

However, she didn’t mind at all. After waving at Beatrice to bid farewell, she turned to Alex and said, “Let’s go then. I bought you a car, it’s parked in the east parking lot. Go take a look If you don’t like it, I’ll buy you another one.”

Alex nodded. “Okay.”

Annalise, who couldn’t bear watching them acting lovey-dovey any further, thought, “Who even is this Alex guy?” She hated such people, he should be grateful that she had not beaten him up yet.

Annalise spoke up, “Michelle, are you out of your mind? Did he drug you? What do you even like about this useless trash? I don’t think I’ll be able to eat with him at the same table. I’ll be off now, take care.”

She then turned around and left immediately.

Priscilla blinked her eyes innocently and said, “Uhm, Ms. Yowell. I just remembered that l have some things to tend to. My mom told me to eat dinner at home too, so I’ll go home now. You guys can… Yeah!”

She left as well.

Alex watched Priscilla’s back as she walked away and shook his head gently. The girl was a little special. When Alex channelled his special Chi into her body, he had realized something unique within her, she had the extremely rare Kyuhelios Pulse.

People with such a rare pulse would be able to practice the Yowell’s Slunce Jauda with less effort and multiplying results. If he were to give her a hand, her future in the realm of martial arts would be boundless. Hence, he wanted to bring Priscilla to Yowell Manor and ask for Keith’s permission to let her train in their martial art. However, now that she’s gone, Alex couldn’t help her.

Watching Alex and Michelle left together, Beatrice was extremely upset, clenching her teeth.

Never did she expect that Michelle would be such a b*tch and did not care about her boyfriend being a married man. She secretly thought, ‘Alex Rockefeller is the worst. How dare he pursue other girls behind Sis’ back?’

However, did she even have the courage to tell her sister about it?

The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 196

She was afraid that she might not be able to survive university if she were to expose them.

When they reached the parking lot, Alex realized that Michelle was giving him a red Aston Martin. Its cool structure was quite trendy, but it wasn’t designed to drive through potholes easily.

“Sorry, I couldn’t get the M8 you wanted. There are none of them left in California right now. You can take this first and I’ll get you the M8 after it’s stocked up.”

‘Look at her, how generous.’

She was able to buy a luxurious car that cost hundreds of thousands just like that, as if she was simply buying a balloon.

“Alright!” Alex wasn’t picky with cars.

They headed to a spicy stew restaurant.

Michelle was surprised. “You wanted to treat me to this?”

Alex replied, “I was initially going to treat Priscilla, but she went home. Let’s just order something simple.”

“Are you trying to pursue Priscilla? I can help you, you know? I’ll have her in your bed in just a few days.”

Alex hit Michelle on her forehead with chopsticks.

“Do I look like that kind of person? I have a wife!” Alex wasn’t interested in her nonsense and said, “I have something to ask you. Does your family own this new material from Thousand Leaves?”

Michelle thought about it and nodded. “Yeah, I think so. Why do you ask?”

Alex explained the whole situation to her.

Michelle thumped her chest and said, “That’s easy, I’ll just make a call and have someone send a permit now! How dare that Assex Construction company bully your wife? I’ll forfeit their permit for that, I just need to say the word.”

Alex shook his head after putting in some thought.

The Assexes were still Dorothy’s family. If he were to agree to this, the Assexes would become restless about it. The old lady would definitely rush to Claire’s place like a maniac and yell at him. He would have to show them mercy this time.

Michelle immediately made a call.

Their employees were very efficient as well.

In just thirty minutes, a middle-aged man arrived with a document pouch.

Michelle pointed towards Alex. “Hand it to him, he’s Alex Rockefeller, Grandpa’s VIP. If he ever asks you for something, you’re obliged to follow his orders, got it?”

This man was Jack Trent, the general manager of Thousand Leaves, and thus an employee of the Yowells as well. With Michelle’s words, he gave Alex his utmost respect and handed him the document.

He then pulled out a card, smiling widely. “Mr. Rockefeller, this is my business card. If you need anything, just give me a call. I’ve met Ms. Assex from Assex Construction City South Subsidiary Company too. She’s very responsible and capable. This permit will allow you to sell our new material throughout the country, you won’t be limited to just one area.”

Alex smiled and took the document. “Thanks.”

He took a glance at the left side of Jack’s waist and asked, “Mr. Trent, have you been experiencing back pain?”

Jack was taken aback, he didn’t expect Alex to ask such a question. “How did you know, Mr. Rockefeller? It’s nothing really, I must’ve been cooped up in my office, sitting for long hours must have caused me back pain. It’s an occupational disease, but it’s not much of a bother to me.”

Alex shook his head. “Mr. Trent, that’s not any normal back pain. You have kidney stones. Think about it, it’s not just the back, right? Haven’t you been feeling nauseous and vomiting lately? Your urine most likely has a slight tint of red too. Your kidney stone is getting pretty bad.”

“Huh?” Jack remembered that his urine was definitely light red this morning.

Alex said, “Come here.”

Jack froze again.

Michelle furrowed her eyebrows. “Jack Trent, just do as he says. He’s the master of California’s miracle doctor, a legendary doctor himself! You’re very lucky to have him diagnose you.”

Jack’s mouth fell agape, he couldn’t believe it at all.

Suddenly, a woman started laughing and spoke sarcastically. “The master of California’s miracle doctor? A legendary doctor himself? What a joke! If he’s a legendary doctor, then I’d be St Mary.”

The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 197

The woman who spoke up was sitting behind Alex and seemed to be in her thirties.

She overheard their conversation since she was sitting so close by.

She had been listening to them since Michelle said she’d have Priscilla in Alex’s bed. She absolutely despised the two, and even wanted to call the cops on them. It was a relief that Alex turned down the offer.

Later on, she heard them talking about Thousand Leaves, saying that they’d be able to get the permit with just a word. Upon listening to this, she almost spat out her spicy stew.

She just so happened to know about Thousand Leaves. Her husband sold building materials too, though he was just a small distributor working under the California franchise. She knew that Thousand Leaves was owned by the Yowells, one of the four richest families in California. The company was also well advertised.

Her husband distributed hundreds of different brands of building materials, yet Thousand Leaves contributed seventy percent of their sales.

How could that young lady say that she’d be able to get the sales permit from such a famous brand with one word? This was clearly a joke.

What’s more appalling was that she started bluffing that the young man was the master of California’s miracle doctor.

Michelle rolled her eyes and glared at the woman. “Who the heck are you?”

The woman laughed again. “I’m St. Mary!”

They had already caught the attention of all the customers who started laughing at them as well.

“What the f*ck Are you looking for a fight, b*tch?”

Michelle said as she slammed the table, she was ready to slap.

Alex held her hand down. “Why are you so triggered? They’ll just have to see it for themselves. Why would a nobody’s words anger the Yowell diva? That just goes to show your flaws. You have to start learning how to control your emotions. It would benefit your health greatly.”

Michelle sat back down though her eyes still gave out a glare. However, that woman wouldn’t stop taunting. “You tried to slap me? Just look at yourself! Even going as far as calling her the Yowell diva, what a f*cking bluff! Don’t tell me your sorry *ss is from one of the four richest families, the Yowells. You wish! Why would a Yowell come to such a shabby place to eat spicy stew? Is your life just based on such lies? If you’re a Yowell, then I’m the queen of the United Nations!”

Just then, the woman was slapped hard across the face.

It was Jack Trent.

His expression was darkened. “How dare you insult the young lady? Do you have a death wish?”

After being slapped, the woman fumed and screamed like a maniac.

But she was outnumbered as they had three people from their side. She said, “You’re dead meat for slapping me! Don’t you dare run, you bunch of liars!”

She rushed out to call for help.

Alex and the others didn’t care at all.

Alex turned to Jack and said, “Mr. Trent, your kidney stones are worsening. If you don’t take them out, the stones would damage your kidneys permanently and they wouldn’t function normally anymore. It would damage your urinary system too. Come here and I’ll treat it for you. Don’t worry, it’ll only take a minute.”

Jack’s eyelids twitched lightly.

He took a few glances at Michelle as he was starting to doubt Alex’s identity as well.

If Michelle weren’t here, he would’ve exploded…

‘He said it was a bad case of kidney stone, yet now he’s saying that he can cure me in just a minute. Does he really think he’s some kind of god?’

Moreover, he didn’t believe it when Michelle said that Alex was the master of California’s miracle doctor.

Suddenly, a young man stepped up and laughed. “Oh, I can’t take this anymore! I really had to laugh for at least a minute! Hey dude, I’m not making fun of you, but I really can’t hold in my laughter anymore. Kidney stones aren’t that easy to cure. A minute? You must be joking, really!”

Jack said, “Mr. Rockefeller, well… uhm, I’ll just go to the hospital!”

Michelle gave Jack a light kick on his thigh. “Go, let Alex cure you. If it’s something he can do in a minute, then why bother going to the hospital? Besides, we can help this guy broaden his horizons and shut him up.”

Jack didn’t know how to refuse Michelle, so he walked up to Alex determinedly.

The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 198

Alex had only suggested curing him since Jack helped him out. He smiled and said, “Mr. Trent, it takes fate to save someone. If you really have doubts, it’s alright. You can always go to a hospital for a check up. You have to be quick though, your kidney stone is situated in a very bad position, it might lead to other infections.”

Everyone couldn’t help but laugh again.

‘You didn’t use ultrasounds or X-rays, you didn’t even check his pulse. How could you know that the kidney stone was in a bad spot? Do you have X-ray vision?’

This time, Michelle’s eyes widened as well. She crossed her arms across her chest in doubt. “Alex, do you have X-ray vision?”

Alex ignored her.

Suddenly, Jack spoke up. “Mr. Rockefeller, I believe in you…” He wasn’t using a surgical knife anyway, so Jack knew that it would be worth a try.

Alex didn’t say anything more and placed his hand on the lesion, inserting his Chi into his body. By creating a vibrating energy, he was able to crush Jack’s kidney stones into pieces through the skin. He was even able to force it out of his kidneys into his intestines.

Alex then retrieved his hand a minute later. “Okay, now tell me, does your back still hurt?”

Jack touched his back, twisting his waist as well, he exclaimed excitedly. “It doesn’t hurt anymore! I feel so much better now. So, I really did get kidney stones! Mr. Rockefeller, you really are a legendary doctor, you’re literally Hippocrates reborn! To think I doubted you just now, I’m so sorry.”

The young man blew a noodle out of his nostrils from choking.

He spoke up. “Oh please, at least make it realistic! Your act is just too much. Do you really think you’re making some kind of drama?”

Jack replied, “Mr. Rockefeller really cured my kidney stones just now.”

The young man waved dismissively, “Fine, whatever, I lost, okay? Continue acting all you want.”

Suddenly, a group of men barged into the restaurant. The leader was buff, wearing a top with short sleeves. His arms were covered with tiger tattoos as well. “Who in the f*ck slapped my wife? Come out here this instant!”

It would seem that he was that woman’s husband.

Before Jack could step forward, the woman rushed to them and pointed at him. “It was him! These three lying losers! Claiming that he’s the master of California’s miracle doctor, and calling her a Yowell! What a joke! Just go look at yourselves in the mirror! The oldest one was the one who slapped me! Hubby, make him regret it! Slap him a hundred times or something!”

The man scowled. “Okay, stand aside. I’ ll seek revenge for you. You motherf*cker, how dare you slap my wife? Who gave you the per… Uhm…”

Suddenly, his words trailed off.

His eyes widened. mouth agape.

The woman gave him a light nudge. “Hubby, why are you just standing there? Beat him, beat up this damn loser!”

The man swung his arm and slapped a face. However, he didn’t slap Jack, but his wife instead.

“Are you mad? I told you to slap him! Why are you slapping me?” The women fumed.

Another slap landed on the woman’s face. The man said, “Shut your mouth!”

The man kneeled with a thud before them with a bitter expression. “Mr. Trent, Ms. Yowell, my wife didn’t know any better and offended you greatly. I’m sorry, I sincerely apologize for her. I’m truly sorry.”

He then proceeded to slap himself multiple times.

Everyone in the restaurant fell silent.

The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 199

The young man who choked on his noodles fell off his seat butt first.

“Ms. Yowell, the California diva? Is this true?”

Someone took out their phone secretly and searched for the California Diva.

Lots of photos and results popped up.

Michelle had always kept a high profile and didn’t care for the paparazzis. The Yowells didn’t do anything about it as well, they just let her be.

So, it was fairly easy to look her up.

Suddenly, someone screamed…

“It’s true! It’s true! She really is Ms. Yowell, Michelle Yowell!”

“So, it is true! Ms. Yowell actually came to my restaurant to eat spicy stew. I… I wonder if I could get a picture with her?”

“Mister, are you blind? Look at her, she’s fuming. Why would you even ask for a photo now?”

After the man had slapped himself more than ten times, Jack spoke up. “Do you know me?”

The man nodded.

Jack asked another question, “Who are you?”

This put the man in a difficult position.

His building material store was one of the smaller distributors of Thousand Leaves. Which was why he was familiar with Thousand Leaves, he even had their brochures. This was how he knew about Jack.

However, if he were to reveal his identity now, Thousand Leaves could possibly forfeit his selling license and he would sustain a great loss. But, he didn’t dare lie in front of the Yowell Diva. He had to tell the truth.

Jack nodded and looked at the woman with a swollen face filled with fear. “Just go, and keep an eye on your wife. If she dares to offend the young lady again, you’ll die a horrible death.”

The man was overjoyed, he didn’t expect Jack to let him off so easily.

He immediately gave him a few kowtows and left.

He didn’t know that they were as insignificant as ants to Jack.

Jack didn’t want to have someone grove! in public for such a small matter. If he let them off easily, then this family would be indebted to him, and consequently lead them to work harder for their company. Moreover, it would benefit Thousand Leaves and the Yowells’ reputation.

Just then, the young man crawled back up on his feet and stared at Alex. “So, you’re really a legendary doctor?”

‘Surely, Ms. Yowell wouldn’t make up such lies out of boredom?’

Alex took a few glances at him. Although he had made fun of him, his words didn’t cross any boundaries and he was quite humorous too. Moreover, Alex had looked into his Chi and realized that the man was ill. If he were to waste any more time, the young man would be in grave danger.

With a good heart, Alex said, “Have you been experiencing headaches? Does your head feel heavy and you sometimes black out?

The young man froze. “How did you know that?”

Michelle said, “Didn’t I say so earlier? He’s the master of California’s miracle doctor. Why would I lie to a nobody like you?”

The young man was appalled. “But… this… this is just ridiculous! Dr. Coney is almost in his eighties. He looks like he could be Dr. Coney’s grandson, how could he be his master?”

Alex didn’t want to use James’ reputation as well, he waved dismissively. “Michelle, stop telling others that I’m Dr. Coney’s master! I just taught him an acupuncture method, it’s nothing really! Young man, there’s a tumor in your brain. If you go to a hospital now, you may have a chance at surviving. If you keep stalling time, no one would be able to save you. It’s up to you.”

“I’m full now, let’s go!”

Suddenly, the young man turned gloomy. “So you really are a legendary doctor. You’re right, I do have a tumor in my brain.”

The store owner of the spicy stew restaurant was surprised. “Huh? Luke, you have a brain tumor? What happened?”

Apparently, they all knew each other.

Luke smiled bitterly. “Well, Mr. Dex, it is what it is.”

“Then shouldn’t you go to the hospital now? What are you waiting for?”

The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 200

“Do you really think I want to wait? The surgery fee is at least half a million dollars. And there are risks to the surgery as well, it’s a fifty-fifty gamble. I might not be able to survive the surgery. It’s not like you don’t know the condition of my family. If something were to happen to me, my mom and sister would be done for. It’s alright, no more talking, I’ll be off now. I have lots of parcels to deliver at noon.”

The store owner sighed, his eyes filled with sympathy. Looks like this was yet another tragedy.

“Hold on!” Alex spoke up. “Do you trust me?”

The young man paused for three seconds and smiled as he nodded. “I do. As Ms. Yowell’s friend, you wouldn’t have the leisure to trick a poor lowly guy like me.”

Alex stood up. “Believe me, and I’ll show you the light.”

He walked over and took a finger out, placing it an inch above the young man’s temples.

That was where the tumor was, underneath his skull.

Just then, Alex’s finger shone like a jade, as if there was electricity surrounding it. He pressed on the young man’s head gently.

Michelle and Jack widened their eyes.

Although they had mentally prepared themselves, they were still appalled. This was an actual tumor that might mutate at any point. What was Alex even doing? Was he going to use such a method to help remove the tumor? Putting the accuracy of locating the tumor aside, how…? How would he even remove it?

This looked like a big joke. However, they didn’t know that the Ultimate Book of Medicine was not from the mortal realm. The Force’s healing Chi was powerful, able to cure many illnesses. Besides, Alex researched the book out of fun and realized that this medical book was made for many different types of martial arts practitioners. The best part was that it could help regrow limbs and recollect

souls. This was literally a god’s power.

A small tumor was nothing compared to that. It was just caused by clogged blood vessels.

“Ah!” The young man screamed.

Everyone in the restaurant was startled, thinking that something bad had happened.

The young man struggled to shake Alex’s finger off.

However, Alex’s finger was attached to his head, he couldn’t get out of its touch at all. To prevent the man from moving around, Alex restricted him with his other hand and ordered sternly. “Don’t move.”

Someone couldn’t bear watching him any longer and tried stopping him. “Hey, do you even know your stuff? What are you doing? Can’t you see he’s in pain? Are you trying to kill him?”

“Yeah! Stop that now! Or I’m going to call the cops!”

“What the f* ck, what kind of person are you? Why would we need hospitals if you could cure his tumor with just a poke?”

Just as someone pulled out their phone to call the cops, Alex let go of the young man and smiled. “Alright, your tumor is gone.”

The young man wiped the sweat off of his forehead as he was drenched in cold sweat from the pain he had just experienced.

Since he forced the removal of the tumor, it was only natural that the process was painful to endure.

“Really?” The man seemed doubtful.

Everyone couldn’t believe it, not even Michelle.

Alex said, “You can go to the hospital for a check up.”

Someone came up to check on the young man. “I think there’s a wound here. Look, it’s a bruise! Let’s go to the hospital now, he might have made things worse! I think there’s a hospital nearby, you can get a check up there.”

Someone else turned to Alex. “You can’t leave. If something happens, you have to take responsibility.”

Alex smiled helplessly. “Alright, I’ll go with you.”
