Ch. 1941..1950
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 1941
Danseur was a bit out of breath. Both of his hands were sore from killing and he was covered in blood. At this time, he said, “Brother Miracle Doctor, what good solution do you have? Use it quickly, we’ll cover for you Ouch! These b*stards are getting harder and harder to cut through. Even my sword is about to be broken.”
Bunty said, “That’s right. We’ll do as you say and burn down this place.”
Martiny said, “Do you need our help with anything?”
Alex said, “I need to set up a formation to make changes to this large formation circle, but I need to have nine spiritual tools for the crux of the formation… And, I’ll be honest, these nine spiritual tools will be gone forever. These spiritual tools are going to explode together with the detonation of the large formation circle.”
Bam!
Martiny casually waved her hand and threw out a huge number of spiritual tools in a domineering manner. “Take it! No need to thank me! I’ve nothing else but a lot of spiritual tools!”
Alex was instantly dumbfounded when he looked at his feet.
Looking at all of these spiritual tools, all of them were of good quality. For God’s sake, he had so many women at home including the eight pretty ladies under Dorothy, yet none of them had any decent weapon. Not to mention a spiritual tool, they did not even have a mystical tool… There were a dozen pieces of spiritual tools next to his feet.
Bunty smiled and said, “Madam Principal is plainly overbearing! Hey, idiot Butcher. Look, these are the toys Principal Hendersons gave to his wife. Look at yourself, you don’t even have a stick after all these years, huh?”
Butcher casually cut several Forerunners’ necks and said, “Why would you need a stick when you already have me?”
Nora said, “Hey, hey! Don’t start your dirty talk when you have a disagreement. Take care of us kids, would you?”
“Kids? Who?”
“Danseur!”
Danseur stiffened for a moment. Eventually, a Forerunner scratched a bloody wound out of his arm, causing him to scream in pain.
Fortunately, Alex’s Zharvakko Talisman Formation was great.
Alex put away all the spiritual tools with a sweep of his spiritual power and yelled, “You guys hang in there, give me half an hour.”
“What the hell? Half an hour? I’m running out of spiritual powers. Who has medicine? Fairy Doctor, you’re an elixir master, do you have some?” a fire attributed cultivator shouted.
He was a powerful damage dealer but the depletion of his spiritual power too fast and he already needed a recharge.
The Fairy Doctor shook her head. “I’m sorry. I didn’t expect this would happen when I came out. I’ve brought plenty of antidote pills but I didn’t bring any spiritual power supplements.”
Bunty said, “Vulcan, do you want a Spiritual Demon Pill? I have two of them!”
It turned out that person’s alias was Vulcan. Vulcan immediately responded. “Yes!”
Bunty said, “How many spiritual stones are you willing to give?”
Vulcan said, “Fifty!”
“Stingy a*s!”
“One hundred, at most!”
“Two hundred. Do you want it or not?”
Alex, who was setting up the formation, had sharp ears and heard them talking. He thought, ‘Did I hear it right? Two Spiritual Demon Pills for two hundred spiritual stones? And, they even have the mood to make deals at such a moment… Oh, the point is, I didn’t even know where to look for spiritual stones before this. Are spiritual stones that cheap now?’
While he was setting up the formation, he looked over there. He heard Vulcan immediately agree to the deal. Then, Vulcan received two Spiritual Demon Pills and immediately took one.
Alex immediately said, “I have Spiritual Demon Pills too. Do you still want them?”
“You have it too? Is the quality good?”
Alex quickly passed one pill to him.
The next moment, Vulcan said in shock, “A hundred percent pure Spiritual Demon Pill? Where did you get it from? I want it! Two hundred spiritual stones for one pill. How many more do you have? I want them all.”
“Uhm… What does your spiritual stone look like?”
“What else could a spiritual stone look like?” He threw one piece over right away.
Alex took a look at it. It was really a spiritual stone! It was about the size of a thumb, rectangular in shape and clean cut. However, there were some impurities or something in it, so its purity was not high. It belonged to an inferior spiritual stone.
But, that was truly a spiritual stone!
Alex said, “Alright! But I don’t have that much with me right now. Only three hundred pills.”
“How many did you just say?”
“Three hundred pills.”
“Alright! I want them all! I want however much you have!”
This time, Bunty said, “Hold up, hold up. A hundred percent pure Spiritual Demon Pill? Let me see it.”
Vulcan hurriedly stuffed them into his mouth. “No more.”
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 1942
“You…Scoundrel! Hey, Rockefeller brat, sell me those hundred percent pure Spiritual Demon Pills. I’ll give you two hundred and fifty stones for one pill.”
“Three hundred!”
The two started bargaining right away.
Danseur yelled, “Hey! Can the two of you be serious about this? The pressure is all on me now!” After that, he yelled, “Brother Miracle Doctor, I’ll give you three hundred and fifty stones!”
Smack!
A storage purse was thrown in front of Alex. It was Vulcan who threw it. “Here’s two hundred thousand spiritual stones for five hundred of your Spiritual Demon Pills. Give me three hundred pills first and make it up for the two hundred pills later.”
Alex was speechless. He thought, ‘Are these people out of their minds? It was just a Spiritual Demon Pill!’
Looking at them, he felt like he was selling them at a very cheap price.
After Vulcan received the Spiritual Demon Pills, he grinned from ear to eat… What they did not know was, Holly treated those Spiritual Demon Pills like jelly beans. Had these experts collectively lost their minds? Or, was it because these spiritual stones were so cheap that nobody wanted them?
Meanwhile, the Forerunners in the palace kept increasing. Each one of them were enhanced. The pressure was even greater.
Nora shouted, “Rockefeller brat, how much longer?”
Alex did a business by the way, but his hand had not stopped.
Another fight went on by the entrance for a while before Alex shouted, “It’s done! Everyone, run toward me. I’ve set up a Wandering Formation here. It can buy us some time to get out first.”
“Alright!”
“Go one by one. I’ll unleash my ultimate move first.”
Vulcan released his ultimate move, the Nine Dragons’ Chant. He left after releasing it.
The overwhelming fire dragons covered the entire doorway, blocking the Forerunners’ steps.
Martiny glanced at the palace. “Run!”
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
The figures backed off.
The Fairy Doctor asked, “Alex, how confident are you with the spell formation?”
If they were to withdraw and fail to detonate the spell formation, the Forerunners would all get out.
Bunty said, “As matters stand, we have to leave even if it won’t work We can’t hold it up anymore.”
“What are you people dawdling about? Hurry up and leave!”
“The Fire Dragon’s Chant is almost out!”
A group of people charged out like a bolt of lightning. When they were less than three hundred meters out of that place, there was a series of loud roars from the back. The Forerunners rushed out, and then were trapped inside Alex’s Wandering Formation, bumping around like headless flies.
However, the Wandering Formation could not contain too many Forerunners. After a short while, the Wandering Formation was dispelled forcefully.
Whoosh!
A huge amount of Forerunners howled and charged out of the place.
Before this, they could not see them well as they were cramped inside the Spiritual Ice Stone Palace. Now that they turned around and took a look, they simply had goosebumps… There were many Forerunners. They would definitely be a great disaster once they charged into the human world.
At this moment, they arrived at the cave’s entrance.
“Alex!”
Everyone looked toward Alex and waited for him to activate it.
An ancient runic seal had long been constructed and was held in his hand. He glanced towards the surging Forerunners and said, “After today, Mount Fuji will become history!”
Swoosh!
He flicked his finger. The seal fell to the ground.
The next moment, the formation was instantly activated. It lit up with a blinding white light, drawing out all the energy in the spiritual ice stone.
“Run quickly!”
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 1943
It was midnight.
Even for Japan, a little dim light could be seen in the east, indicating that the dawn was not far away. However, it was a sleepless night for many people in Japan.
From the Emperor down to the commoners, everyone was guessing what had happened in the sky above Mount Higurashi earlier. The difference between the two lay in the fact that the Emperor instantly held an emergency meeting overnight and ordered his ministers to find out the truth quickly while the civilians could only obtain the information from the internet, social media, news and self-published media.
Japan’s Emperor and many of his ministers gathered together and collected information from all sides. All of the pictures and footage were presented on the huge curtain wall display.
“My lord, this is a satellite picture at the time of the incident. At the time, the sky was full of crimson red clouds. Our investigation showed that there was a heavy scent of blood within a hundred miles radius.”
“My lord, this footage online proves that this person named Alex Rockefeller is from America but there is no information about this person nor his entry details in our country’s border checkpoint.”
A person at the side grunted. “Isn’t this nonsense? How could someone who could cause such a huge ruckus leave us inbound information? Americans are so cunning, how could they not think of this? Oshima-kun, your information is too generic.”
The person who gave the report earlier was angry. “Ichiro Kuryo, how dare you?! You’ve no right to interfere when I’m reporting to the lord! Get out of my sight!”
Ichiro Kuryo said, “I have a copy of the surveillance of Higurashi Shrine here, you can see some footage of that time.”
“Oh? Hurry up and play it.”
Soon, fighting scenes at that time could be seen from the played footage. Unfortunately, it was late at night and the surveillance camera’s angle was not quite right, so they could only confirm that the three people were from America. However, the mountain of white bones and the mostly destroyed shrine were clearly visible. Even a helicopter that the Fairy Doctor had blown up was blamed on Alex and the others.
“Hmph! How dare the Americans commit such a crime in our Japan?! The crime is unforgivable!”
“Justice must be done to the Americans!”
“Make them pay us sky-high compensation!”
While the ministers were seething with anger and the Emperor was roaring, they heard an earth-shattering voice all of a sudden…
Boom!
The office building of the House of Councillors shook violently. Countless glass windows were shattered. The huge screen on the wall flashed twice and went black.
The next second, the entire office building and even the entire area plunged into darkness.
“Ah!”
“Oh gosh!”
“Earthquake!”
In the darkness, countless people shrieked, ran and hid. Immediately afterward, everyone reached out to their cell phones to light up the screen or flashlight. There had been a group of bodyguards closely protecting the Emperor’s safety. Everyone hid in a place where they thought it was safe and communicated anxiously.
***
At the same time, Mount Fuji was as if it had been bombarded by hundreds of nuclear bombs… No, nuclear bombs would not be powerful either. That huge, perennial snow-covered Mount Fuji seemed to have suddenly lost its support below. The entire mountain jolted and then began to collapse, quickly sinking down.
Meanwhile, Uncle Drake, who was resting in Mount Fuji to recover his injuries, was dumbfounded all of a sudden. He slammed the ground hard and his body sprang up high, suspending in mid-air. He watched the huge Mount Fuji crumble before his eyes, sinking into the ground. Subsequently, it was submerged by the countless seawater or underground water.
The place where he was seated previously was gone right away. It became a huge sinkhole and beneath it was cold lake water.
“Dragon Lord, what happened to them?” Uncle Drake was dumbfounded.
Without even thinking about it, he knew that the huge change here must be related to Dragon Lord. However, even the enormous Mount Fuji had sunk. Just how big of an explosion had happened down there? He dared not even imagine it. Under such circumstances, could Dragon Lord, Alex and the rest still walk out alive?
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 1944
He did not know. He froze in suspension, unsure of what he should do next.
After an unlmown period of time…
Boom!
A figure surfaced from the huge sinkhole on the lake. After that, the second, third… About ten figures continuously rushed out, it was Alex, Martiny and the others.
When Uncle Drake saw Martiny coming back intact, he immediately rushed over in excitement. “Dragon Lord, you’ve come back safely. That’s great! What happened down there? How did Mount Fuji sink?”
Bunty looked at the huge sinkhole under her feet and said, “So, this deep sinkhole is the huge crater formed after Mount Fuji sank?”
Uncle Drake nodded his head.
The Fairy Doctor said, “Let’s save the talk for later. The ruckus here is too big and it will definitely cause a huge concern in Japan. The collapse of Mount Fuji will create a fuss even on the global scale. The impact is too great. We cannot never be seen, hurry up and go!”
Everyone also knew that the situation was urgent and they could not stay long.
As soon as they recognized the direction, they fled to the northwest. However, at this time, Alex noticed someone was calling out for help in the newly formed lake.
At closer look, it turned out to be a family of three, a pair of spouses and a little girl who was only five or six years old. This family of three was also unlucky for staying ovemight at Mount Fuji under such cold weather. Who knew what they were up to, but now that they had fallen into the lake and would not last long.
Seeing the struggling mortals, especially the little girl who was about to sink into the lake, Alex was moved with compassion. After all, he was someone who had inherited Ksitigarbha’s Legacy, and someone with full of compassion. It was impossible for him to feel unconcerned, so he immediately rushed to save the people.
Splash!
He made a grab in mid-air and pulled out the little girl out of the water. Afterwards, he fished up the other two adults and hurriedly left the deep lake.
At this time, the girl was freezing cold and highly in shock, such that her soul seemed to be wavering and was about to leave her body. Alex immediately suppressed her soul back into her body with the Ultimate Book of Medicine and applied a Zharvakko talisman. Only then did he turn the dangerous situation to peace.
The couple immediately kneeled on the ground and prostrated before Alex. “Thank you, Tenjin-sama! Thank you, Tenjin-sama!”
Alex glanced at them and hurriedly left.
After gathering with the Fairy Doctor and the others, Butcher said, “Rockefeller brat, you shouldn’t have gone to save them.”
“Huh? Why?”
“They’re Japanese. Now that they have seen us, they might let the Japanese officials know about this. It will easily cause international disputes, which will be very troublesome.”
“Uhm…”
Danseur said, “I’ll go kill them.”
Nora said, “Can you do it though?”
“I…”
Alex frowned, and then he shrugged it off. “A true man should do what he should do. We have done a great favor for Japan this time. Even if there really is trouble, I’ll bear it alone.”
Bunty put her arms around his neck and said to Butcher. “Butcher, since when did you become a coward? The Japanese officials are nothing. Whatever the Rockefeller brat did is also my doing. If they dare to hold Rockefeller brat responsible, I’ll kill my way into the Higashiyama Imperial Palace and assassinate their Emperor.”
Nora said, “Count me in! I’d save them even if he didn’t!”
The Fairy Doctor said, “Me too!”
Danseur said, “Me, me!”
Butcher was sullen. “That’s not what I meant…”
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 1945
Alex and the others quickly rushed out of Mount Fuji’s perimeter. Then, they immediately entered the sea region and flew away in the sky!
Half an hour later, a piece of earth-shattering news broke out all over the world…
“Mount Fuji has sunk!”
That day, whether it was Japan, America, the adjacent small countries or the large foreign countries, the news of the sunken Mount Fuji had made the headlines of all news media. Regardless of trending search or other information ranking, it steadily ranked first on the said lists.
Countries around the world responded promptly upon receiving the news. Countless experts and scholars rushed to Japan to check the situation and conduct in-depth research.
For a while, the public was discussing this matter. However, for Japanese citizens, what concerned them the most was not this, but the fact that such a huge mountain like Mount Fuji could sink and collapse at the drop of a hat. So, wouldn’t the entire Japan be close to sinking as well?
As soon as this worrying subject popped up, it instantly caused panic amongst the Japanese.
Those who had the ability to leave the country were starting to consider the future and flee abroad.
At Rockefeller Manor in California, the people living inside naturally had long received the news as well and were concerned about the movement in Japan. The previous great battle at Higurashi Shrine had startled them. Now that Mount Fuji had suddenly crumbled and sunk, everyone was utterly speechless.
“Did Alex and the others do it?”
“Are they safe?”
At this moment, Cheryl was at Rockefeller Manor too. She ran over in the middle of the night to ask about Alex’s situation. After knowing that there was no definite news on this side, she simply stayed at Rockefeller Manor. She used to be Brittany’s attending doctor and Brittany had a great impression of her as well. After knowing that she and her son had developed a deep relationship, Brittany tried her best to calm her down.
Now, a bigger worry came.
Everyone was worried that something had happened to Alex at the location of the sunken Mount Fuji.
Dorothy said, “It should be impossible, right? Although it’s outrageous for him to live for five hundred years, that’s Mount Fuji that we’re talking about! It’s a huge mountain of more than 3700 meters above sea level! How could any man blow it up? Alright, even if it’s possible, he wouldn’t possibly have such a huge bomb!”
Right after that statement, Alex and the others returned to the manor.
A woman’s voice rang out. “Indeed, we’re the one who blew up Mount Fuji.”
As the voice came in, so did the people. The person who spoke was Nora, followed by Alex, Martiny, the Fairy Doctor and the rest of the Flying Eagle.
Uncle Drake did not come along as he went back to Flying Eagle Academy first.
Snow Whitney did not come either. Snow’s identity was not suitable for her to walk around the city. After all, she used to be the wife of an official and many people still recognized her, especially in South California.
“Alex!”
As a figure flashed, a woman rushed over and hugged him, it was Cheryl.
Dorothy wanted to rush over as well, but she realized that she was not as fast as Cheryl. This made her a little upset. She cursed in her heart, ‘Hmph! What a shameless mistress!’
“Cheryl!”
Alex was astonished to see Cheryl was back again. However, the vague sorrowful emotions he felt ever since she left got better at once.
It was comparably comfortable to be in her soft and fragrant embrace while his hands were on her waist. Afterwards, Waltz, Maya, Dorothy and the others walked up to him as well.
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 1946
The people from the Flying Eagles visited Rockefeller Manor for the first time, only to find out that Alex had hidden so many mistresses in his house. They were dumbfounded at once.
Danseur exclaimed, “Oh my god! Brother Miracle Doctor, they… Are they all your wives? This quantity and quality are simply top-notch! Hey, can you spare me one?”
Butcher rolled his eyes and said, “You’re as fat as a ball. Which woman would want you?”
Danseur said, “Maybe someone is interested in a fatty?”
A little girl walked over. She stretched out her finger and pointed at Danseur’s stomach. “Uncle, is your stomach real?”
Of course, the little girl was Zella Yaegcr’s daughter, Winniefred Wood.
Danseur froze. “Of course it’s real.”
Winniefred giggled. “Your stomach is even bigger than my godmother’s! My godmother is carrying four babies in her stomach!”
Everyone laughed.
After that, Alex reiterated their trip to Japan this time.
He asked Zella to take her daughter to play elsewhere first.. After all, the things that he was about to say were not suitable for a girl at her age. Afterwards, he even called Jade over. Only then did he start talking about the incident in Japan in detail.
Everyone present was shocked and solemn after listening to it.
Jade said, “I have to discuss this matter with the tactician.”
After a pause, she continued, “You people have done a good job. If I’m not wrong, Izanami Shrine under Mount Fuji in Japan is one of the Blood Cult’s plans to lead the Shura tribe to invade humans again. Now that you’ve destroyed it, it is bound to affect the progress of their actions and buy us some time. The Flying Eagle’s previous strategy against the ancient force field may need some changes.”
Soon, she made a call to the tactician, Eleanor Curtis. However, her phone was unexpectedly switched off. Jade frowned.
This was not a normal phenomenon. Under normal circumstances, her phone should be on-call all the time. However, now the Flying Eagles’ leader had changed. Jade mocked herself, who was already an ordinary person, and it was nonnal that she would not be able to contact Eleanor!
She did not think about other choices as well.
Meanwhile, Alex said, “Master, I got the source of your poisoning from Carol Rockefeller. If I’m not wrong, this should be the blood from an advanced creature of the Shura tribe. With this thing, I can isolate the antidote out of it. If it’s fast enough, I can cure the poison in you within three days.”
“That’s great!”
Alex said, “Let’s not delay any further. I heard that the number of poisoned people in Long Beach is increasing now. I have to act as soon as possible. Since there isn’t any place for me to conduct the experiment here, I’ll need to find some equipment.”
Cheryl immediately said, “You can use the Mercy Laboratory.”
Alex smiled. “That’s what I thought too.”
Since the matter was urgent, Alex immediately took Cheryl and left the manor to Mercy Hospital.
***
Meanwhile, the news regarding Mount Fuji was getting more and more sensational.
All kinds of people surrounded the deep lake pit of the sunken Mount Fuji. For this reason, Japan could only send a large number of police officers to maintain order. They also had to pull up a cordon to prevent people from falling into the lake accidentally.
As of now, nobody could tell the cause of this incident. Until a certain moment, two people in red robes came here. A veiled woman approached the lake to take a look and sniff it. Finally, she spoke, “If I’m not mistaken, this is not a natural disaster, but a man-made disaster.”
The man in red robes beside her asked, “What is a man-made disaster?”
“It’s done by humans!”
“What? It’s done by humans? How did they do this?”
The woman in red said, “It’s hard to tell. I can only deduce that someone deliberately did it, but I don’t know anything else! Go and tell the lord the truth!”
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 1947
The two people in red robes immediately rushed to Higashiyama Imperial Palace.
The veiled woman held a gold token and went in unhindered. Even the palace guards were respectful when they saw her. Soon, the people met the Emperor.
When the Emperor saw the two people, there was a sense of pilgrimage on his face and he immediately went up to welcome them. “Your Highness, Lord Akita, I’m honored to meet you!”
It turned out that this woman came from the most mysterious Amaterasu Shrine in Japan. She was the master of Amaterasu Shrine and was known as Sun Spirit Maiden outside, which meant the goddess of the sun. Her lofty status was indescribable, such that she did not have to kneel before the Emperor and was a rank higher than the officials. Even under certain circumstances, the Emperor had to be subservient to the Sun Spirit Maiden.
The Sun Spirit Maiden did not have to kneel before the Emperor but the person next to her was different. He still had to kneel down when he saw the Emperor.
After that, the Sun Spirit Maiden said in a cold voice, “My lord, I’ve gone to check on the place where Mount Fuji has collapsed. Based on various circumstances, I can conclude that the collapse of Mount Fuji was not caused by the force of nature but it’s man-made.”
“What? It’s man-made?” The Emperor was stunned.“
What kind of person could be so powerful? That mountain is so huge! Even if a nuclear bomb was placed underneath, there must be dozens or hundreds of them to cause such a consequence, right?”
The Sun Spirit Maiden shook her head. “That’s because you don’t have a clear enough understanding of things beyond modern technology.”
The Emperor had his mouth agape. He could be considered to have seen many strange people, those who withstand boiling water, those who were invulnerable to weapons, those who could swallow knives and even a strange man who could eat iron. However, destroying such a huge Mount Fuji with a human’s ability was something only an immortal could do, right?
The Sun Spirit Maiden waved her hand.
The man next to her suddenly stretched out his hand with a dazzling white light on it. Then, he patted on the high-grade desk on the Emperor’s left side.
Crack!
A cracking sound rang out.
The top surface of the infinitely solid wooden table was made of marble, yet hundreds of cracks opened up after the attendant slammed the table. The Emperor was instantly stunned. However, the next moment, he saw an even more terrifying scene. The entire table rapidly melted, turned into countless dust and fell on the ground under the inexplicably vigorous white light.
The Emperor’s jaw dropped. “How… How did you do that?”
If this palm were to be slapped on the body, would it also turn into powder?
The Sun Spirit Maiden calmly said, “My lord, fret not. This is just a tiny trick. I just wanted to prove to you that there are some abilities beyond worldly understanding in this world, so it’s not impossible for a person to destroy Mount Fuji! In fact, in ancient times, there were many great gods and saints who could pluck the stars with their bare hands, destroy continents with one foot, go anywhere and cross the universe.”
“Huh?”
The Emperor was dumbfounded with his mouth agape.
The Sun Spirit Maiden continued, “Yesterday, there were cultivators fighting above the crimson clouds of Higurashi Shrine. That’s not something mortals can get involved in! America has a long history and they have many Chi cultivators. Moreover, since ancient times, there’s been a legend that America holds the true mysteries of the world. Sacred mountains left behind since ancient times are hidden in America, but they are all deeply hidden. I used to send multiple people to look for them, but they couldn’t find the mountains at all… If I’m not wrong, that Alex Rockefeller is a powerful Chi cultivator. I’d like to meet him.”
The Emperor took quite a while to comprehend the information.
He stuttered, “You… How are you going to see him?”
The Sun Spirit Maiden said, “He must’ve left Japan by now. Because of certain reasons, I cannot leave Japan, so he’d have to come here himself! Now that public opinion about Alex Rockefeller has risen, you can use the pressure of social opinion to make him come here on his own… If my guess is correct, he must be related to the collapse of Mount Fuji.”
After the people from Amaterasu Shrine left, the Emperor immediately gathered his people to eagerly look for the American named Alex Rockefeller. He even began fabricating public opinion, describing Alex Rockefeller as a terrorist suspect.
Not long after, a man from Japan’s official department came forth.
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 1948
This man was the father of the family of three whom Alex had saved at Mount Fuji previously. On second thought, he decided to report the incident that took place at Mount Fuji.
Although Alex had saved the family of three, he was also the demon that had destroyed Mount Fuji!
With the eyewitness coming forward, the consensus of Japan’s officials was even more lopsided. The Emperor demanded his subordinates to do their best to urge Alex to come to Japan in person to provide an explanation to the public and the world.
It was because Mount Fuji belonged to the entire human race.
Thus, the public opinion… Festered.
The whole world was searching for this man called Alex Rockefeller. Alex Rockefeller has become radically notorious.
Of course, there were a lot of men named Alex Rockefeller in the entire America.
However, many people still knew the identity of Alex Rockefeller caught in the whirlpool of public opinion!
Among them, the one who suffered the greatest pressure was not Alex but the American officials.
This was because the matter created this time was too great. Not just Japan, but any country was astonished and terrified of the means that could destroy Mount Fuji- This sort of means was unheard of. If he had destroyed Mount Fuji this time, what about next time?
Would he destroy an entire city? If this means were to be used in a city with a large population, what kind of horrible consequences would occur?
Especially the Republic of Mai, which had always regarded America as an imaginary enemy, was exceptionally anxious. They wondered if America had possession of some kind of super weapon.
Therefore, whether Alex was really the culprit or not, he had to come forward. If he did not come forward, then the American officials must come forward to explain the reason.
For a while, the Chief of America was overwrought about this matter as well.
***
Meanwhile, Alex knew nothing about all these things happening out there.
Currently, he and Cheryl were both putting all of their minds in the laboratory to research the acquired special blood inside Carol’s inventory ring.
The more they studied about it, the more alarming it became. The power contained in this blood sample was simply unbelievable.
However, their research had reached its bottleneck… This type of blood needed a human body as a host in order to manifest its true form. Moreover, it had to be a woman because various studies showed that this blood came from a female.
It came from a noble female lineage from the Shura tribe. But, who could they look for?
At this time, Cheryl said, “Let me do it! We can’t possibly look for someone else since they aren’t familiar with the research. So, I can only test it myself.”
Alex was dumbfounded. “No way. I’ll never agree to it. What if something happens?”
Cheryl looked at him. “Shouldn’t you be happy if something happens to me? Then I won’t keep bothering you nor bringing you trouble.”
“What the hell are you saying?”
“I’m just telling the truth! Deep down, you don’t really like me, right?”
“You… Why would you think that?”
“Then, do you dare to look me in the eyes and say that you love me?”
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 1949
Alex shook his head. “This is actually a tricky question. If someone looks into your eyes and says the three words ‘I love you’, will you trust him completely and give yourself to him? If a woman does this, she will pay for it sooner or later.”
Cheryl frowned and said, “After all that talk, you still don’t dare to say it.”
“Is this even useful?”
“Useful?”
“What’s the use of it?”
Cheryl’s eyes were red-rimmed as she could not stop tears falling down her face. “If you can’t even say the three words ‘I love you’, it means that I have no place in your heart at all.”
“What if I lie?”
“I want to hear it too! I just want to hear you say the words ‘I love you’. How hard is that? Can’t you just say it even if it’s a lie? Just give me a reason to deceive myself, okay?”
She almost shouted when she said this. After shouting, she squatted on the ground, sobbing.
Alex was heartbroken when he looked at her.
Alex sighed, bent down and picked her up. He said, “The three words ‘I love you’ weigh little. Some people say it to many women in a day. But these three words can also be as heavy as a mountain, and even greater than life… Cheryl, I can say these three words to you. I’m not the only one to bear the consequences afterwards, but you too!”
Cheryl hugged him and cried.
Alex said, “I know what you’ve been through and I know how much you hate your father. Because of this incident during your childhood, you’ve shut yourself away from men and I don’t wish for you to go through that kind of hardship again. I’m afraid that these three simple words may bring you tragedy later… You’re really an incomparable, perfect woman in my heart.”
“Incomparable? What about your wife then?”
Alex said, “You know about my previous experience too. I once got a divorce and even received the divorce certificate. For a while, Dorothy and I did have a huge problem with our relationship. At that time, you came into my life. There were many moments where I didn’t wish to go back and rather stay in the hospital! You might think it’s a joke, but at that time, when I was accompanying my unconscious mother day and night, I couldn’t see any hope and I always felt like the world was filled with darkness. Everyday, I could only feel warm whenever you walked in.”
“And then, I don’t know since when, I looked forward to you coming in every day…”
Cheryl listened attentively. “Is it true?”
Alex smiled and nodded. “Of course it’s true. At that time, I thought how nice it would be if Dorothy was half as gentle as you.”
“Then why didn’t you break up with her for good?”
“It was hard to make the matter clear for a while. I can only say that the situation at the time was different. If it were someone else and my wife was you, you’d probably be the same as her. It’s the same concept as doctors cannot heal themselves!”
Cheryl said, “Just say it. I’m well prepared for what’s coming. ”
“Are you sure?”
“I’m a hundred percent sure! I’m willing to bear anything.”
“Alright!”
Alex flicked his finger and a crimson rune appeared in the sky. It was his spiritual blood oath. “I’m willing to make a blood oath to declare to heaven and earth that my love for Cheryl Coney will last forever!”
The blood talisman exploded and completed the oath.
“Cheryl, I love you!”
Cheryl was stunned. “You… You could’ve just said it. Why did you have to make a blood oath?”
“So that I can prove my sincerity.”
Cheryl was not too clear about the cultivation matters, but she thought that making a spiritual blood oath was probably similar to making a pledge. Although she felt quite uncomfortable, she just let it slip. What she did not know was, an spiritual blood oath was similar to a shackle for cultivators. Once it’s established, one could never regret it. Otherwise, one would suffer the Lightning Tribulation punishment under the rules of God’s Path. It would be much more terrifying than an ordinary Lightning Tribulation that one could hardly survive.
“I love you too!” Cheryl said, “I know it’s impossible for you to marry me now. But I still hope that we can go through the marriage ceremony!”
“Marriage… Ceremony?”
“Are you not willing to?”
At first, Cheryl gave him a passionate kiss. Then, she jumped around to get three alcohol lamps for the experiment. She laid them on the ground neatly and lit them up.
Afterwards, she asked Alex, “Do you want to do it or not?”
Alex scratched his head… Previously, Dorothy and him used an ancient marriage certificate. Never did he expect that Cheryl would come up with a drama of a marriage ceremony.
“I want to!”
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 1950
He nodded his head. He had made the spiritual blood oath, so why would he be afraid of a marriage ceremony? Since it was a marriage ceremony, he even called Guilherme over to be the wedding’s witness because they could not hold a wedding without a witness. Hence, Guilherme became the two people’s wedding witness.
Guilherme was overjoyed when he heard that. “Congratulations, Young Master and Young Madam!”
After that, Alex and Cheryl went through with the marriage ceremony under Gulherme’s witness.
“Do you, Alex Rockefeller, take Cheryl Coney as your wedded wife?”
“I do!”
“Do you, Cheryl Coney, take Alex Rockefeller as your wedded husband?”
“I do!”
“You may now kiss the bride!”
“As for the consummation…”
Guilherme giggled and said, “Young Master, Young Madam, congratulations… The condition here is crude. There’s only a bedroom that belongs to Young Madam in the hospital. Why don’t you both head to the bedroom and… Hehehe!”
Cheryl blushed and said, “Our consummation can wait! Now, time is running out and we still have to study the antidote for the poison source. Otherwise, more people will be poisoned. Now our hospital’s isolation wards are overcrowded.”
As she spoke that, she looked at Alex. “Hubby!”
“Yes?”
“Kiss me!”
Alex obediently kissed her on the lips.
Embarrassed, Guilherme looked away hurriedly.
Meanwhile, Cheryl stabbed herself on the thigh with the disposable syringe containing the poisonous blood that she had long prepared. The next second, the poisonous blood started rampaging in Cheryl’s body.
Swoosh!
Boundless collisions of blood energy appeared on her meridians. Bloody veins also began to condense in her sclerae and grew redder. Her body’s aura became extremely bizarre as well.
Alex could feel it instantaneously.
“Cheryl, you…”
Smack!
The syringe in Cheryl’s hand fell to the ground. She shivered and all her limbs twitched while enduring the tremendous pain.
“Uh… Madam? What is happening? What happened to you?” Guilherme turned over when he heard the noise. As a result, he was frightened at once.
Alex cried sadly when he looked at her. “Cheryl, how can you be so silly? How could you actually do it? There’s definitely another way!”
Cheryl shook her head. “This is the best solution. We don’t have much time left and there are dozens of patients in critical conditions. The source blood isn’t enough for us to continue the research anymore… Ah…”
At this point, bloody markings appeared on her face.
“Ah!”
Cheryl’s body stiffened as she shouted. Alex hugged her, heartbroken.
Guilherme was at a loss. He did not know what to do. A marriage ceremony should be a happy occasion, but how did it end up like that?
The next second, something strange happened.
The aura on Cheryl’s body had a great transformation with surging blood energy and demonic Chi. Her bloodline, body surface, and even her facial features were all undergoing a strange change. Countless arcane and incomprehensible runic marks were constantly flowing on the surface of her body.
She broke loose from Alex’s embrace. She slowly rose up and floated in the air.
Her aura was extremely shocking.
