Ch. 211..220

The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 211

The woman turned around. Alex Rockefeller didn’t need to guess to know that her gaze was as cold as ice beneath those sunglasses.

“What did you say?” The woman asked coldly.

“I told you to stop the car,” Alex said after a moment of silence.

His car was accelerating as he spoke.

Suddenly, he crashed his car into the woman’s BMW from the side. She was forced to stop as her car knocked into the guardrails. The woman looked forward. Coincidentally, she saw a car driving madly past a junction. With a high-speed drift, it skidded across the road and knocked a small, black car over before disappearing into traffic.

Alex happened to witness it as well.

He was slightly stunned. He wondered to himself why there were so many suicidal drivers today.

But when he saw the woman in the BMW slamming her hands against the steering wheel, he seemed to have figured out what was going on.

Bang!

The woman kicked her door open and walked out of her car in a bikini. She wasn’t even wearing shoes. The problem was that she had a very good physique. She had curves in all the right places, especially her abs and her lower abdomen.

However, she didn’t have a particularly good attitude. After walking over to Alex’s Aston Martin, she slammed her hand on the hood and shouted angrily. “Get out of the car. Did you know that you just ruined my plan?”

Alex had only just opened his car door slightly when the woman forcefully pulled it open. She grabbed Alex by his collar and wanted to pull him out. However, Alex kept his hand on the steering wheel and wouldn’t budge.

Suddenly, he heard the sound of clothing being torn. The woman had torn his shirt.

Alex casually pushed her away. He got out of the car and stared at the woman coldly. “I don’t care who you are. It’s your fault for causing a car accident and trying to run away! Nothing will change the fact that you are in the wrong. Now, you have to pay for the damage!” Alex exclaimed.

The woman grabbed Alex by his shirt again and tugged at it.

This time, Alex nearly bumped into her chest.

“What’s the matter? Do you want to fight me after damaging my car? What kind of special agency are you from to be dressed so revealingly?” Alex looked down and said.

The woman glared at Alex angrily.

In the end, she probably felt that things might get complicated with so many people watching. She reached behind her waist and retrieved a communication device from her bikini. “I’ve bumped into a troublernaker. That man ended up escaping due to the delay. I can’t catch up now. Do what you must! What was Team B doing? Are they all dreaming?”

“Got it. Return to your team!” Alex could hear a man’s soft voice coming from the communication device by the woman’s ear.

If not for his Force reaching the third degree and his increased capability from absorbing a significant amount of Jadeite essence, he wouldn’t have been able to hear it.

This woman really was from some sort of special agency.

‘I wonder, is she the secret agent, 007?’ Alex suddenly thought of the pronoun.

Meanwhile, the woman handed Alex a name card. There was only a phone number on it. “Call the traffic police. If you want compensation, call the number on this card. They’ll pay you accordingly,” she said.

“You…” Alex said after looking at the card.

“What else do you want? If you don’t stop talking, I’ll slap you until you faint. What are you looking at? Have you not seen a pretty woman before?” The woman said impatiently.

Alex was rather speechless.

“Fine. I’ll believe you this time. But I just want to remind you that you’re bleeding,” Alex said.

There was a knife wound on her left thigh. Blood was already dripping down to the back of her leg.

The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 212

“Get lost! ” The woman said coldly before getting into her car and driving away.

Alex Rockefeller checked the back of his car with a depressed look on his face. It was in a much worse state than he had imagined. He tried to call the number on the card the woman gave her. After Alex explained what happened, the person on the line actually agreed to his request happily. In fact, Alex was told there wasn’t any verification process needed. All he had to do was email them a picture of the car repair invoice along with his bank account number and he would receive a payment for it the following day.

Just as Alex was thinking about where to go to get his car fixed, he received a call from Michelle Yowell.

She told him that the final ingredient for the medicine he was making had arrived.

Alex glanced at the back of his car. “Alright. I’ll be there in the afternoon.”

He decided to have Michelle fix his car.

In the afternoon, Alex had lunch at home. After thinking about it for a day, Brittany Rockefeller began to accept the fact that William Rockefeller was only Bill Rockefeller’s adopted son. Like Alex, coming to terms with it got her out of her emotionally vulnerable state.

After all, the Rockefeller family only treated William as their money-making machine. Now that the Rockefeller acquired Rockefeller Group just as they wanted, they no longer had a need for each other.

“Madame, the Rockefeller family has gone too far. Are you sure you don’t want to try getting Rockefeller Group back? If I were you, I wouldn’t give up so easily after being treated like this,” Waltz Fleur said during the meal.

Brittany shook her head. “No. Rockefeller Group is the last straw to end our relationship. If I don’t let it go, we can’t break off ties completely!”

“The Rockefeller family got it too easy.” Waltz sighed.

“Don’ t worry. I will bring Rockefeller Group down,” Brittany said.

“Son, I’ve decided to go to Michigan next week. We’ll revive our empire. Come with me,” Brittany added after a pause.

Alex was taken aback. “I can go with you on Monday, but I can’t stay in Michigan for too long. I have to investigate how Dad died and find out if it’s related to John Rockefeller. On top of that, I want to know what projects Rockefeller Group collaborated on with the government in the past.”

Brittany’s expression changed slightly when she heard this.

She glanced over at Waltz.

Waltz immediately caught Brittany’s hint and stood up with a smile. “I’m going to the supermarket to buy some stuff.”

“Mom, is this a secret?” Alex asked with a frown.

Brittany nodded. “Why else do you think your father ended up being blamed as a national traitor? Instead of saying it was a collaboration project with the government, I should say that it was a task forced on your father by a government official. However, it’s better if you don’t know about this for now. Knowing more won’t do you any good,” she said.

Alex could see the look of concern in his mother’s eyes. He knew very well that it was tough to change her mind once she had decided upon something. In the end, Alex decided that he would investigate the case on his own in the future.

After an hour, Waltz returned. Meanwhile, Alex headed to the Yowell family’s place.

“Oh my god. Alex, did you get in another car accident? Are you a road hog?” Michelle exclaimed when she saw the damaged Aston Martin.

Alex sighed. “I was unlucky today. I bumped into this crazy woman who was driving recklessly on the road. She knocked into my car just as I started to move when the traffic light turned green. I don’t know which store the car was bought from. Help me fix it!” He said.

“Sure! ” Michelle agreed decisively.

Right then, he heard a cold voice. “Hmph. I can’t believe it’s you. Who are you calling a crazy woman?”

Alex turned to look at the person who spoke.

He saw three men and a woman walking into the house. The woman was wearing a casual, black-and-white outfit. She was tall with light footsteps. However, her facial expression was unusually cold.

She was the bikini woman who rammed her car into Alex’s car in the morning. She looked very different when fully dressed.

The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 213

Alex Rockefeller never would’ve guessed that he would bump into the sexy bikini woman here.

Meanwhile, one of the men who walked next to the bikini woman was Michelle Yowell’s eldest brother, Colin Yowell.

Alex didn’t recognize the other two men next to her, one of which was a young and the other an old man.

When Michelle saw the bikini woman, she immediately made a face. “Anna Coleman, why are you here? What are you doing in my house?” Michelle asked in a cold voice.

“It’s none of your business,” Anna answered emotionlessly.

Michelle snorted. “You’re in my house. Why are you still behaving like a snob?”

“Brother, there’s no point in waiting around for her. Some women are born b*tches. They treat those who are nice to them like dirt, but they would run laps for those who don’t care about them. There are plenty more women who are better than her in my school. I’ll introduce a few of them to you one day,” Michelle said to Colin.

Colin sighed softly. There was a sad look in his eyes.

Alex could tell that it was a case of unrequited love. Colin had feelings for Anna, but she did not return those feelings.

“Who are you calling a b*tch? Michelle Yowell, you asked for it! I’m going to teach you a lesson!” Anna shouted angrily.

She actually had a worse temper than Michelle. As soon as the disagreement occurred, Anna proceeded to attack Michelle.

With a swift move, Anna invoked all her inner energy and struck Michelle with a punch.

“Peak-Royal rank!”

Alex’s eyes glistened. He was slightly surprised that Anna’s capability was at a level similar to Waltz Fleur’s. He didn’t realize this back when the car accident happened.

However, Michelle was only at the Intermediate-Royal rank. On top of that, she suffered from an injury two days ago and had not fully recovered from it.

Although Anna didn’t use all her might with this punch, Michelle could easily get injured if she tried to fight back

Just as Michelle was about to strike out, Alex pulled her away and grabbed Anna’s fist with his hand.

Anna’s attack was instantly blocked. She felt as if the impact of her punch had been completely absorbed, but Alex didn’t show any expression on his face.

‘What? Is this fellow a martial artist too?’ Anna thought with surprise. But she very soon realized that it was a good thing. Although she might have stopped herself from hitting a normal person, she wouldn’t hold back against a martial artist.

To her surprise, Alex looked at Colin and started speaking. “Your sister is right. Love is like a relationship between a key and a lock. It will only work if the two are a match. Otherwise, her lock wouldn’t be opened by you even if you stayed with her for the rest of your life,” Alex said. Michelle laughed out loudly.

“Alex, that’s a perfect metaphor. Anna’s lock is indeed broken. It’s gone rusty. Even if you oil it up with lubricant and try to open it with a multi-purpose key, it wouldn’t work. You shouldn’t waste your time,” Michelle added.

Anna was extremely upset. Alex actually compared her to a lock. On top of that, Michelle insinuated some very upsetting things about her.

Meanwhile, Alex was still holding onto Anna’s fist. Since he stood in between Anna and Michelle, he naturally became Anna’s target to vent her anger.

“Get out of my way! ” Anna shouted.

She invoked her inner force and directed it at Alex. 50% of her inner force was activated.

However, Alex didn’t even budge. His hand was still wrapped around her fist. It was almost as if he didn’t feel anything.

80% of her inner force was activated.

Alex still didn’t move.

Stunned, Anna let out a loud cry. “Dragon-Tusk Punch!”

100% of her inner force was activated.

“Be careful, Alex,” Michelle warned. Alex could sense the energy emitted from Anna’s body. The Dragon-Tusk Punch she used enabled her to channel all her inner force to one focal point for a heavy hit. Unfortunately, Alex had yet to establish foundations for such high-level martial art techniques.

However, he had an unbelievably strong defense, shocking speed, and great observational skills.

The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 214

Just as Anna Coleman’s punch was about to hit Alex, he leaned to one side slightly and struck her wrist at lightning speed with a single finger.

Anna felt as if a hammer had struck her wrist. Her entire arm went numb. However, she wouldn’t give up because she had such a hot temper.

If her first punch didn’t work, she would try again. “Dragon-Tusk: Seven Deaths!”

This technique was even more formidable than the last one. It happened so quickly that it seemed like all seven punches were thrown at him at once.

However, Alex was able to observe all of them in time. He blocked all of them as he did before but decided against striking back. It wasn’t because his heart softened at the sight of Anna’s beauty. Instead, it was because he could tell that Anna’s Dragon-Tusk Punch really was quite powerful. He couldn’t bring himself to interrupt her, and he wanted to observe and carefully study her technique so that he might learn it

Hence, the battle continued with Anna attacking Alex while he evaded her attacks.

“Dragon-Tusk: Prajna!”

“Dragon-Tusk: Thousand Blades!”

“Dragon-Tusk: Cloud Piercer!”

Each shout revealed an awe-inspiring punch technique.

Colin stood nearby with a perplexed expression. “I didn’t think Anna would achieve Peak-Royal rank so soon. She’s just one step away from Mystic rank. I really am far behind her,” he murmured.

Meanwhile, Alex was feeling extremely happy. He secretly absorbed the experience he was gaining and reimagined the moves in his mind.

After repeating her moves twice, Anna realized she still couldn’t defeat Alex. It drove her mad. However, Alex was still smiling slyly at her.

“Bikini woman, do you have other techniques? The same techniques don’t work on me. If this is all you ’ve got, I suggest you give up. Don’t be so stubborn.” Alex chuckled.

“You… You keep avoiding me. What kind of man are you? If you’ve got guts, fight me.” Anna was so tired that she was a little out of breath.

“Fine. Since you’ve attacked me so many times, I’ll hit you back for once,” Alex said.

He stood still and struck out a punch at lightning speed. He was only using 50% of his powers.

Anna struck out with a punch as well, but she was using 100% of her inner force.

Boom!

There was a loud explosive sound as their energies exploded in all directions. Michelle and the others couldn’t help but take a few steps backward.

Anna stumbled backwards as she heaved. She nearly coughed blood out of her mouth.

“How did you learn Dragon-Tusk Punch?” Anna shouted in surprise.

“I’ll have to thank you, Teacher Coleman, for your effective guidance.” Alex laughed.

Anna was stunned for two moments before she realized what had happened. “You actually stole the technique from me. I’m going to kill you.” she shouted angrily before leaping into the air and kicking her foot out.

Alex grabbed her by the ankle and gently tugged at it. Bang!

Anna’s legs spread wide open like a ballet dancer’s as she fell to the ground with a thud. Everyone heard a fabric tear. Indeed, her black pants had been torn at the seam.

This was where the battle ended. With Colin’s help, Anna got back on her feet. However, her face was pale and she walked in a funny way.

Michelle clapped and cheered. “That was a fantastic show. Alex, you really are amazing. Now, does the lady finally understand that there will always be someone better than her? Come on, Alex, let’s go. I’ll take you to my grandfather. He’ll be happy to see you,” she said. Anna glared at Alex, her eyes ablazed.

“Who is that Coleman girl? What’s her background like?” Alex asked as he walked.

Michelle pursed her lips and lifted her chest. “She has quite an impressive background. She works for Divine Constabulary.”

The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 215

Alex Rockefeller had a strange expression on his face.

“Divine Constabulary? What on earth is that?” He asked.

The only thing he could associate Divine Constabulary with was a drama called ‘The Four’, but it was entirely fictional. How could it appear in the real world?

“It’s not that Divine Constabulary, but I reckon it’s not too far from it. You can think of her as an ancient guard or a government official. She oversees some weird things. Don’t mind her. Think of her as traffic police,” Michelle Yowell said.

Alex was rather shocked. This was the first time he had heard about such a department in the government.

“What is she doing here? Not only did she barge into the Yowell family’s place, but she even attacked you. Isn’t that a little too much? Can people from Divine Constabulary do whatever they want?” Alex asked.

Michelle rubbed her temples. “That’s not because she’s from Divine Constabulary. It’s because we have never gotten along as kids. She lived around here when she was younger. My brother had always followed her around. It was annoying, and she even behaved like an arrogant princess, thinking that nobody was better than her,” Michelle explained.

‘Oh…’ Alex finally understood what was going on. Anna Coleman seemed to be connected to the Yowell family in some way. Michelle and Anna were childhood friends who often fought with each other. Alex had unintentionally involved himself and made things awkward.

However, it was all worth it because he ended up learning a set of Dragon-Tusk Punch techniques.

“Grandpa, Alex Rockefeller is here!”

Keith Yowell was lying on his bed. His face looked pale. Although Alex helped to extend Keith’s life by seven days, he couldn’t turn Keith into a normal human right away. It was already a miracle that Keith lived this long.

“Mr. Rockefeller!” Keith struggled to get up, but Alex stopped him from doing so.

“Mr. Yowell, your heart is very weak. I’d suggest you don’t get up,” Alex said.

“Grandpa seems to be getting weaker by the day. Alex, help him,” Michelle said nervously.

Alex checked Keith’s pulse. “He’s fine. This is normal. Your grandfather’s life was already near its end. Despite his collapsed chest, I used Seven Needles of Life Extension to extend his life by seven days. He’s lucky to still be alive. As long as he eats the Life Pill, he’ll naturally recover over time,” Alex said.

“Isn’t there a way to make Grandpa suffer less?” Michelle asked.

Alex nodded. “Fine. I’ll channel some Chi energy into your body so you won’t be affected by heartburn.”

But just as Alex pressed his hand against Keith’s chest to carefully channel a part of his Chi energy into his body, he heard someone shout. “Stop!”

It was the old man who came with Anna earlier. The group of people entered the room.

The old man instantly ran forward and grabbed Alex’s hand before pulling him away. “What are you doing, young man? Are you trying to kill him?” He shouted angrily.

‘D*mn!’ Alex secretly cursed.

Fortunately, Alex hadn’t started channeling his Chi energy yet. Otherwise, if he was interrupted in the process, he might have accidentally channeled too much of his Chi energy, which had condensed into threads in his hand at this point, causing Keith’s veins to explode. If that happened, even God couldn’t save Keith.

After retrieving his hand, Alex seemed upset.

He stared at the old man. “Who’s trying to kill him? You nearly killed the head of the Yowell family.”

The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 216

“Are you putting the blame on me?”

The old man glared.

Anna Coleman angrily spoke, “Do you have any idea who you are talking to? He is the Imperial Doctor, the man whose hands raised the dead-Wallace Yoke! How dare you disrespect him. Apologize, now!”

Alex Rockefeller looked at Anna calmly with his hands behind his back.

On the contrary, Keith Yowell was extremely surprised. Struggling to sit up, he looked at Wallace admiringly and said, “Doctor Yoke, what brings you here? It is my utmost pleasure! ”

As he spoke, he gave Wallace a salute and a slight bow. To which Wallace replied, “It is my pleasure too, Mr. Yowell! You are not feeling well, please, do not force yourself!”

Colin Yowell added, “Grandpa, Anna brought Doctor Yoke here to treat you all the way from North Tokyo! I am sure you will feel better in no time!”

“Indeed. Doctor Yoke is a well-known and reputable doctor here and abroad. Unlike a certain someone here who is nothing but a quack. Grandpa Yowell, I heard that he wanted you to gather several rare medicinal herbs just so that he can create his so-called Life Pill? I told Doctor Yoke about your condition and it is just a bunch of nonsense.”

“What do you mean?” Keith’s expression changed abruptly.

Although he believed in Alex’s capability, he would rather have Wallace treating him instead. After all, as the Imperial Doctor, he was the more reputable person in the room.

Wallace answered nonchalantly, “I just checked your pulse. Things are not looking good for sure. Your organs are failing and cannot be treated by the medicinal herbs Mr. Rockefeller here suggested. It’s too strong for you, Mr. Yowell, your body cannot take it. Plus, I have never heard of the Life Pill, who knows if it is legitimate!”

“Your lack of knowledge doesn’t mean it does not exist.” Alex retorted.

Wallace grunted and did not speak anymore. “Doctor Yoke, Mr. Rockefeller is a master of medicine and is very much revered by Doctor Coney of California,” said Keith.

Wallace snickered. “James Coney is just another fool then. I have never heard of a master at such a young age! This is not the time for an impostor to show us his tricks as lives are at stake here. Mr. Yowell, let me treat you, I am sure you will feel better right away. Anna, please escort that boy out.”

Anna had had enough of Alex and yelled, “Get lost!”

Looking at her split pants, Alex then turned his gaze to Keith and asked, “Mr. Yowell, I can give you ten more years to live if you trust me. Otherwise, only fate decides.”

Keith was deep in dilemma.

In the end, Wallace’s reputation won the day as Keith said, “Mr. Rockefeller, how about Michelle show you around in our manor? We have quite a lot to see.”

Alex sighed, gently shook his head, and left.

Before he stepped out the door, he said, “Well, Doctor… Um… Doctor Yoke, I safeguarded his heart and vein with Seven Matters and extended his life by seven days. If you break the protection I set, he will die in less than half an hour, be careful!”

With that, he left. Michelle Yowell stomped her feet and cried out, “Grandpa! How could you let him go?”

And she followed suit, running out of the hall to chase down Alex.

A few days ago, she was extremely skeptical of Alex, but after a few interactions, she realized that he was indeed a man with hidden talents and capabilities.

Anna snickered. “Who is he to curse Grandpa Yowell? How could Michelle be with that guy?”

“It’s okay, we all have our differences. Mr. Yowell, I am going to start my treatment. You will feel much better when I am done,” said Wallace.

Five minutes later, the treatment ended.

Just as Wallace pulled out the final needle, Keith’s face flushed abruptly, as he clasped his chest and spit out a mouthful of blood.

The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 217

“Argh! ”

“Grandpa! What is going on? Are you okay?”

Colin Yowell was extremely distressed to see Keith Yowell spitting out blood, clasping his chest and gasping for air. His face was as pale as a sheet of paper and twisted in immense pain.

The Yowells present were frightened.

While Anna Coleman quickly turned to Wallace Yoke and asked, “Sir, what is going on? Why is he spitting blood?”

Wallace looked on gravely.

As the Imperial Doctor, he truly deserved the title. Unfortunately, Alex Rockefeller’s Seven Elements was not something any regular human being could fathom.

“Do not worry, this is the bad blood in his body. He should feel better after it is out of his system.” Wallace made a quick deduction and explained. He was revered highly and his explanation instantly soothed many worried hearts.

Anna smiled. “Doctor Yoke is indeed the Imperial Doctor we admire! See how he made Grandpa Yowell throw up all the bad blood in his body with a simple treatment. Are you feeling better now, Grandpa? What are you waiting for, Colin? Get a towel here!”

The next moment, Keith opened his mouth abruptly and spit out a huge mouthful of blood.

Anna received the brunt of it as the blood splattered on her top.

She was stunned. “Sir, is this bad blood too?”

It did not seem like it for there was too much blood. Wallace did not reply. Hurriedly, he took out his silver needles and quickly performed another round of emergency treatment on Keith.

Yet, his condition did not improve.

Instead, blood came rushing out from his nostrils.

“Argh!”

“Doctor, doctor! You have to save my grandfather!”

Colin shouted. It was a dire situation, with Keith teetering on the edge of death.

Other people were not as polite anymore.

“I thought you are the Imperial Doctor? Are you the fraud instead?”

“Anna Coleman! We treated you well, why did you do this to us? He was doing all right before this. Not to mention, we gathered all medicinal herbs requested by Mr. Rockefeller… ”

The statement reminded the people of something crucial as a person yelled. “Get Mr. Rockefeller! Quick!”

Alex gave the keys of his Aston Martin to Michelle. “I trust you will bring my car to be serviced? Let me know when it is done. I am paying so keep the receipts. Bikini told me that I can claim my losses.”

Michelle gave him a weird look. “Why do you call her Bikini?”

“Well, she was wearing one when she crashed into my car the other day,” replied Alex.

“What do you think about her body?” Michelle laughed.

Alex was taken aback by the question. He’d rather not answer it.

“Anyway, I will be going.”

“I am so sorry, Alex! Perhaps my grandfather was concerned…”

Alex waved his hand. “Don’t worry, I am fine.”

He smiled and walked away.

His first impression of Michelle was unpleasant but after several interactions, he found her to be an honest girl and someone he could be friends with.

Colin and a few others came running just moments later.

He saw Michelle, who was walking toward them, and called out. “Sis, where is Mr. Rockefeller?”

“He left since you asked him to.” Michelle was slightly upset at the thought of it.

“Where did he go? Quick, we need to get him! Grandpa is not going to make it!”

The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 218

They hurriedly ran out of the gates.

However, Alex Rockefeller was nowhere to be seen.

“Michelle, quick! Dial his number!”

Five minutes later, Alex once again, appeared in front of Keith Yowell.

He was willing to return for two reasons. The first was as a return of Jack Trent’s favor and the other was Michelle’s unrelenting plea.

Otherwise, Keith would have died.

Anna Coleman and Alex met again. She wasn’t as smug as she was before, presumably because she had been castigated by the Yowells. However, she still gave Alex an unfriendly look.

“Shoo!”

Alex returned Anna’s sentiment with one word. It took no time for Alex to realize what went wrong with Keith. The situation was dire, just as he expected when he left just now. He lightly jabbed his finger on his chest, where the heart was located.

Wallace Yoke was shocked by Alex’s maneuver. He was confused and could not fathom what he was doing.

It was the Seven Needles of Life Extension!

The last time he performed it, he finished it in a blink of an eye. But now, it took him over ten minutes to complete the life-saving procedure.

Keith felt much better after Alex concluded his treatment.

He was extremely ashamed. “Mr. Rockefeller, I can never thank you enough for what you did.”

The Yowells were relieved and looked at Alex with gratitude.

Anna was confused and shocked as she didn’t expect things to turn out the way it did.

Alex waved his hand and said, “Mr. Yowell, if you trusted me, I could have extended your life by another decade. It’s a pity what you had to go through just now. You can only live for five years at most even with the Life Pill. What I did gave you another day of living. Now, it all comes down to the concoction of the Life Pill.”

“What? How did this happen?”

“Ten years… Now he’s not even going to live past five years!”

The Yowells were shocked.

And then they looked at Wallace with anger as Michelle blurted. “Anna Coleman, who did you bring? A doctor or rather, a murderer? My grandfather was doing so well, but you had to come in and ruin it for us! Get lost!”

Wallace Yoke had never encountered something like this before and was at a loss for words.

Anna retorted angrily, “Michelle Yowell, who is to say if he told the truth? What if he made things up?”

“Made things up? What about the blood on the floor, on your shirt? Are those made up too? Get out, we don’t want you here!” Michelle was livid.

Wallace sighed deeply. “Mr. Yowell, I am so sorry. Please excuse me.”

He staggered toward the door, trying to wrap his head around the chain of events.

Anna quickly followed after him.

Alex said, “Michelle, why don’t you fetch me the medicinal herbs? I will concoct the Life Pill now.”

With the herbs in his hand, Alex left only to find Wallace waiting for him by the door. He called out as soon as he saw Alex, “Wait a minute, Mr. Rockefeller!”

The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 219

Anna Coleman stood next to Wallace Yoke. She looked at him with a cold gaze, as if she was born better off than everyone else.

Alex Rockefeller could not help but laugh in his heart. No wonder Michelle Yowell did not like her.

If Colin Yowell decided to marry her, it would only serve as the beginning of headaches and troubles at home.

His gaze shifted from Anna to Wallace. “How may I help you, sir?”

Wallace was slightly eager as he said, “Mr. Rockefeller, I have some knowledge in medicine and treating people but I have never seen anything like what you did just now. Would you be so kind to explain the workings behind your treatment?”

He was extremely polite and talked to Alex in a slight bow.

The medical community would be shocked to find out that the Imperial Doctor spoke to an unknown person with such respect and admiration.

“The inner workings?” Michelle snickered. “Why should he tell you? What if you are trying to steal the knowledge for your own use?”

Wallace was embarrassed and he looked a little uncomfortable by Michelle’s retort.

Since he seemed to be genuinely regretful and had the inclination to learn, Alex sighed and said, “My skills are fundamentally distinct from yours, I don’t think you would understand even if I told you.”

Wallace looked beaten as he smiled bitterly. “I see. Sorry for disturbing you, Mr. Rockefeller. Goodbye.”

Seeing Wallace’s wistful state, Alex could not help but feel sorry.

At the end of the day, they were just trying to save a patient’s life. Why should he give the Imperial Doctor a hard time over an insignificant matter. “Hold up, Doctor Yoke!”

“Yes?” Wallace stopped in his tracks.

Alex continued, “Your expertise is not to be doubted, that is for sure. As for what happened, it is not your fault as well. My skills are quite distinct from what you practice and the Seven Needles of Life Extension I used comes from Zharvakko, the witch doctor’s Ten Acupuncture Techniques. I don’t mind sharing but it’s not for the ordinary to fathom.”

“Zharvakko! I did not expect his teachings to survive!” Wallace was shocked.

“You know him, Doctor Yoke?”

“I heard from my mentor when I was younger. By chance, he got hold of Zharvakko’s scriptures but could not crack its secret even after spending decades studying.” Wallace kept shaking his head as he spoke. “I suppose you are on your way to prepare Mr. Yowell’s medicine. Well then, I won’t disturb you any longer. Thank you, sir!”

Anna was shocked to see Wallace, one of the most reputable doctors known to men, bow to Alex.

Alex nodded and left for Maple Villa with Michelle on the wheels. Over at Assex Villa, Dorothy Assex wanted to know from her sister, Beatrice, whether Alex spent the night with Cheryl Coney.

Her logical mind believed Alex’s explanation to be true. She knew his character and recognized that he would not cheat.

Yet, every time she thought of the woman, she could not help but feel angry.

“Oh, Dorothy, you came back early today.”

The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 220

“You don’t look good, what happened? Did the old lady wreak havoc in the company again?”

Claire Assex immediately noticed Dorothy’s unusual demeanor. “Hey, didn’t Rockefeller say that he was going to get the permit for you? Did he lie to us and got a fraudulent document instead? What a fool!”

“Where is he? I am going to give him a smackdown he will never forget!”

Dorothy suddenly realized that returning home earlier was a bad decision on her part.

“Why are you so anxious, mom? The company is doing just fine.”

“So, the old lady wasn’t there?”

“She was but with Alex’s permit, there was nothing she could do. Instead, we obtained a competitive advantage that will allow us to increase our profits!”

Claire was thrilled. “Are you sure?”

“Of course! Mom, stop criticizing Alex for once! Without his help, we would have been done for!”

“Hmph! He is your husband, right? He did what was expected from him.”

“Look, it has been a while since he came home. Where the hell is he? I have to do all the chores at home, washing, cleaning, cooking, am I the maid now? Not just that, when he did come back, he saw Beatrice in…”

As she spoke, Beatrice came down to the living room.

“Mom, can you stop? Do you want every neighbor in the area to know that my brother-in-law saw me naked?”

Beatrice was livid remembering what happened last night.

“All right, all right, it was an accident,” said Dorothy. “Beatrice, Alex told me that he went to Michelle Yowell’s house last night, and you were there too. Um, do you know her? I want to thank her personally.”

Beatrice was surprised. From her understanding, Michelle was Alex’s mistress. Why would her sister want to thank her? “Sis, I think that is unnecessary. She is my schoolmate but is quite the character. Also, I think I saw him treating her to a meal yesterday.”

She was stuck in a dilemma. Maybe she should tell Dorothy the truth, but she did not want to suffer Michelle’s wrath.

As for Dorothy, she felt so much better. Alex did not go to Cheryl Coney for help. What about last night?

“Anyway, listen here, both of you. Iwant you home by seven at night. It is very dangerous out there,” said Claire.

“Why?”

“Look at the news! A dozen young girls were assaulted and became unconscious after. This happened last night!” Claire took out her phone and showed her daughters the news article.

Not just that, the number of victims was still increasing, according to the news report.

They were found in an abandoned house last night and sent to Premier Hospital immediately. However, according to Cheryl, who was in charge of the patients, the hospital also received similar patients a few days ago. There was a possibility that there were more victims out there.

A picture of Cheryl being interviewed was attached to the news report.

“This is scary!” Beatrice blurted out.

Dorothy looked at the picture and thought to herself, ‘So she was telling the truth!’

All suspicions in her mind vanished that instant. Yet, she still felt a little off and quickly decided that she would come onto Alex that very night itself.
