Ch. 231..240

The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 231

‘What?’

‘Mr. Yoke addressing him as ‘sir’? How old is this guy anyway? What makes him so special?’

‘A liar, he’s nothing but a liar! He’s tricked both Cheryl and Mr. Yoke. I’ll definitely expose your lies!’

Clarence’s thoughts roared in his heart. His expressions were twisted, the corners of his mouth twitched uncontrollably.

It was something he couldn’t accept completely.

Cheryl, who was standing at the side, was extremely shocked too. Wallace’s reputation far exceeded her grandfather’s, not to mention that the two elderly men were somewhat acquainted too.

James had mentioned multiple times that he was no match for Wallace.

His title as the best imperial doctor was well deserved. ‘Even such an amazing doctor referred to Alex as ‘Sir.’

Just how skilled could Alex be?’

Cheryl’s heart pounded, her eyes filled with admiration. She continued to stare at Alex with a gentle gaze.

The dean, Lucifer North, was stunned as well. He rushed over and asked, “Mr. Yoke,

this is…”

Wallace replied, “Mr. Rockefeller is very skilled in medicine, far more skilled than I am! If Mr. Rockefeller is here to save the patients, I’m happy to assist him.”

“What?”

“Wait, holy sh*t!”

Everyone gasped, seeing how it was an extreme shocker to them. It was as if they were in a dream.

‘But you’re the best imperial doctor!’

What they didn’t know, however, was that Wallace had experienced a significant change

at the Yowells. Keith had almost died due to his careless mistakes, and it was Alex who

saved Keith with the sorcery of a witchdoctor.

Since then, Wallace had developed

absolute respect for Alex.

If Keith were to die there and then, Wallace’s mental state would have worsened

drastically. It was unknown if he could ever regain his confidence to continue being a doctor.

Lucifer couldn’t respond for quite a while, and just as he was about to speak up,

Clarence approached them. “Hello, Mr. Yoke. I’m Clarence Fawl from Michigan State Hospital. I’m the leader of the Michigan team as well.

It’s a pleasure to meet you. Sorry

to ask, but perhaps you’re mistaken, Mr. Yoke? This guy is no doctor, and he’s a complete fraud.”

Wallace’s eyes widened. At that very moment, his arm flung across him, sending a slap across Clarence’ face.

He fumed, “Bullsh*t! Who the hell do you think you are, calling Mr. Rockefeller a fraud?”

The slap wasn’t all that painful, but unable to bear the humiliation of being slapped in front of a crowd, Clarence felt as if he was about to explode.

However, he couldn’t fight

back since the one who slapped him happened to be Wallace Yoke.

Alex spoke up. “Mr. Yoke, how are you so hot-tempered at an age so advanced?”

Wallace replied, “I couldn’t help it. How dare this insolent brat insult you?”

Alex smiled.

“It’s fine. I don’t know him anyway. I’m going to check up on the patients now. Would you like to come with me?”

“Yes! Of course! ” Wallace looked overjoyed as if he really was Alex’s sidekick At that, the other doctors became appalled.

Alex walked out of the room, followed by Wallace and Cheryl.

The other doctors were irking to see what methods Alex was about to employ. Hence they followed along as well.

Alex noticed that a large group of doctors was following him and felt the pressure in the atmosphere.

“We won’t need so many people in the ward. Mr. Yoke, Cheryl, and I will suffice. Let’s not bother the patients, shall we,” he said.

Wallace turned around. “Did you hear what Mr. Rockefeller said? Don’t follow us.”

He then turned to Cheryl. “You look quite familiar, young doctor.”

“Mr. Yoke, do you not remember me? My grandpa is James Coney,” Cheryl replied.

Wallace smiled. “Ah! You’re Coney Monkey’s granddaughter. Are you and Mr. Rockefeller… dating?

Cheryl took a glance at Alex and shook her head. “No…”

Wallace slapped his thigh out of excitement. “Ah, that’s great! That’s just wonderful! I

have two granddaughters, sir. One is ready for marriage, while the other is in her teens.

I’m not trying to praise my own granddaughters, but I can tell you that they are both gorgeous beauties.

I’ll introduce you some time. You can choose whoever you like. It’d

be even better if you like them both!”

Cheryl’s eyes almost bulged out in a stupor. At that moment, Cheryl’s impression of the best imperial doctor had dropped drastically.

‘Hmph! This old hag! How audacious, stealing my man like that!

The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 232

After such a thought, she felt slightly embarrassed. Alex was a married man after all.

Alex chuckled. “Oh don’t joke with me, Mr. Yoke. I’m married.”

Wallace replied, “So what if you’re married?

You can always get a divorce, right? And if you can’t, you can change your nationality to become Arabian. I have connections to help with that”

Both Alex and Cheryl fell silent. ‘This old man is such a jester.’

Within just a few moments, they arrived at the patients’ ward.

Since all of these patients were filed as special cases, they were all placed together in one ward.

This was more convenient for the medics responsible for their checkups.

The first patient that they saw was a petite young girl. Next to her was her mother. Her mother’s eyes were red, she seemed to be on the edge of a mental breakdown.

Who

wouldn’t treasure their children? Having her daughter fall victim to such disaster, she felt as if the world was collapsing in front of her eyes.

“Her name is Rose Carson, a student from TBU of California.

She’s the study

commissar of her class, the earliest patient to be sent to our hospital. Her condition is worse than the others…” Cheryl introduced under her breath.

Upon hearing Cheryl’s explanation, the mother started crying uncontrollably.

“Doctor, my daughter, how is she? Would she end up like the first two girls…”

Before she could finish her sentence, Rose’s body started trembling.

Her eyes were

rolled back, and she started frothing at the mouth.

“Ahh! Doctor! Doctor! Help, please help her!”

Cheryl immediately checked on the patient’s condition. Just then, the line on the monitor beeped into a straight line.

Everything happened so fast.

Wallace couldn’t do anything to help the patient as well.

Alex, on the other hand, furrowed his eyebrows. He saw the girl’s soul leaving her body,

it was very weak.

He immediately took action.

With just one hand, he grabbed onto the girl’s soul and tried forcing it back into her body.

“Soul shift!”

Just then, Alex could tell that the girl’s Yin was completely drained out, her body was on the verge of collapsing. Hence, why her soul came out of her body as her body could no longer hold it in.

He bit down on his finger and placed a drop of blood in between the girl’s eyebrows.

The girl’s mother couldn’t believe what she was witnessing.

“This… What on earth is this?!”

“Who are you? Why are you rubbing your blood on my daughter’s forehead? Isn’t that dirty?” The mother yelled as she motioned to wipe the blood off.

Wallace immediately stopped her.

“Don’t wipe it off, this is to save your daughter.”

He turned to Alex with a shocked expression. “Sir, is this the mythical Blood Lock in the Witch Doctor Series?”

Alex raised his eyebrows at Wallace, “That’s unexpected, you know the Blood Lock too. Looks like you’ve done your research!”

Wallace was overjoyed, as if he found treasure.

Cheryl, on the other hand, was puzzled. “What’s a Blood Lock?”

Alex’s hands hadn’t stopped moving the entire time. He pressed his palm onto the girl’s chest, using his electrifying Chi straight to her heart and yelled. “Rise!”

There were quite a number of people in the ward as well.

They had been staring at Alex intently, empathizing with the girl.

They were either victims themselves or the family of said victims. Up till now, they had witnessed two deaths and just couldn’t face yet another one. “Did another person die?”

“Oh god, what would her mother do now? Which bastard did such a horrible thing to them? I really wish I could skin them alive and drain them of blood!”

Someone couldn’t bear it and started crying out loud.

Suddenly, Rose’s heart monitor started beeping. What was originally a straight line, regained activity.

The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 233

“She’s alive, she’s revived! She’s actually revived!”

“How did he do it? This doctor is amazing! I thought she was dead for sure!” The family of other patients rushed over as soon as Rose’s heart started beating again.

They pointed, and hush chattering quickly surrounded her bed.

Cheryl stopped them. “Please be quiet and give the patient some space.”

Alex was able to sense the culprit within Rose’s body, an extremely odd and hidden deadly Chi.

It was this flow of deadly Chi that was destroying her body little by little. Her body was already weak as she was drained of Yin, and this flow of Chi had pulled her into the depths of hell.

Cheryl could tell that Alex’s expression was grim, as she quickly asked, “What wrong?

Did you figure something out? Can she be cured despite her condition?”

Alex, however, didn’t answer any of her questions. He replied with another question instead. “Have the cops arrested the culprit?”

Cheryl shook her head. “I don’t think so.”

Wallace added. “I heard that the culprit is far from normal. An average person wouldn’t

be able to handle them. Oh, by the way, Anna is in charge of this case, that’s why she’s

here.

Would you like me to ask her about the details?”

Alex replied, “There’s no need for that. This culprit of this case is definitely not an

average person.”

Cheryl asked, “Who’s Anna?”

Alex huffed. “A woman with her eyes attached on top of her head. Don’t mind her. I’ll

check on the other patients now. Then I’ll come up with a way to help them.”

Since all the patients were in this same ward, it was easier for him to check on them quickly.

It didn’t take long for Alex to realise that every victim had a flow of deadly Chi within their bodies, surrounding their hearts, draining their lives away. All of the victims had a common trait-they were all young girls.

Their physical features were all unique from each other.

Hence, that would mean the culprit didn’t choose his victims according to appearance.

At the same time, Wallace, who was the best imperial doctor, did not just stand back and merely watch from afar.

He checked the pulses of a few patients and narrowed his eyes. “This pulse is quite odd. Their bodies are weakening at such a fast pace. Yet, I can’t seem to find any obvious lesions. The only way to save them, for now, is to rejuvenate the energy that they have lost. Saline solutions would not be enough.”

Alex said, “Why don’t you prescribe some medicine?”

Wallace nodded. “Alright.”

He was able to write down a prescription in just a few minutes and quickly then handed the piece of paper to Alex.

Frankly speaking, he was still slightly competitive in nature.

He admitted that he was no match for Alex when it came to the methods of witch doctors. However, he had been researching Chinese medicine his whole life and became the best Chinese medic because of his efforts, which he definitely took pride in.

Wallace refused to believe that the young Alex was able to compete against him in his expertise.

Even so, another strike to his ego blew in as fast as it could.

Alex took a glance at the paper and picked up a pen immediately. He added a type of herb and crossed one out from the list.

“Mr. Yoke, what do you think about this?”

Wallace took three seconds to analyze the list and slapped his thigh out of realization.

“Amazing, you really are amazing! How did I not think of that? I truly admire your skills, Sir.”

Alex didn’t seem cocky or arrogant.

This wasn’t his own research in the first place. It was just knowledge his ancestor had

passed down to him. The more he practiced his current skills, the more power he felt from the Ultimate Book of Medicine.

‘Did that mean his ancestor was a god of this world?’

‘Could it be that he had reached a higher realm?’

This really was something to look forward to.

After confirming the prescription, Cheryl rushed to her computer to print it out.

Alex had told her to inform the pharmacists to begin to decoct the medicine immediately.

It’d be best if they were able to prepare the medication as soon as they could.

Cheryl noticed that his expression remained grim the entire time.

She knew she couldn’t

afford to waste any more time and rushed to her office to handle the prescriptions.

On the other hand, a group of doctors was waiting outside of the ward. They wanted to

see just how Alex, this celestial doctor, would be able to change these victim’s fates.

The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 234

However, some of them were only there to see Alex go down with humiliation, especially Clarence. After being slapped by Wallace, he couldn’t hold in his anger.

“That Rockefeller guy must be a liar.

He’s really skilled in his tricks. I have no idea how he managed to trick Mr. Yoke.” He said, visibly annoyed. He walked over to the two

middle-aged men who came with Wallace and asked, “Do you know anything about that guy?”

The two men were Wallace’s apprentices, and they were just as confused as well, as they have never seen Alex before. On the contrary, their master had always treated

them harshly, supposedly as part of the training. Yet here he was, showing such adoration toward a young man, and they found it unacceptable.

One of them shook their

heads. “This is the first time we’re meeting him. We didn’t know that our country had such a young, capable expert.”

Clarence said, “Then I was right.

This guy must have used some sort of trick and fooled Mr. Yoke. He could’ve used voodoo for all we know, like, hypnosis.”

Everyone was puzzled, as everything felt too unreal. What felt even more surreal was to see Wallace referring to Alex as ‘Sir.’ Even the best doctors in the hospital couldn’t come to terms with this at all.

Noticing Cheryl coming out of the ward, the entire group of doctors rushed over.

“Ms. Coney, what’s going on now? Have Mr. Wallace and that doctor, Rockefeller,

thought of a way to save the victims?” Lucifer asked.

Cheryl nodded and waved the piece of paper in her hand. “Alex just prescribed some medicine, so I’ll be printing this out for the pharmacists to start the decoction. Alex said

to have this done as soon as possible.”

“Let me have a look!” Clarence snatched the piece of paper out of Cheryl’s hand.

This had upset Cheryl gravely.

Just then, Clarence smiled coldly. “This isn’t prescribed by Rockefeller. Mr. Yoke prescribed it!

Look here, Mr. Yoke even wrote his signature at the bottom! Cheryl, I have

no idea what’s wrong with you. How could you be so blind? Did that liar really hypnotize you?”

Hearing him insult Alex time over time, Cheryl was so angry that she snapped.

“Clarence Fawl, Alex is not a liar!

I won’t let you insult him! You have no idea how amazing he is. One of the patient’s heart stopped beating just now. She almost died! He

was the one who saved her! If you don’t believe me, you can go inside and see for yourself. Give me that prescription and don’t waste my time!”

Cheryl snatched the prescription back and rushed to her office.

At the same time, Dorothy had arrived at Landison Hotel, refreshed after a nice shower.

She was dressed in a strappy, black nightgown and spritzed on an alluring scent. She stood in front of the mirror and observed herself for a moment.

Seeing herself looking so gorgeous and flirtatious, her heart was pounding out of her chest.

‘Would this be too bold?’

‘He wouldn’t think that I’m easy, right?’

‘It’s okay. I don’t care. I’m definitely going down on him tonight.’

It was almost time for them to meet, yet Alex was nowhere to be seen.

She rolled around on the bed, staring at the box of adult supplies that the hotel had

provided. Tracing her fingers along the box, she bit her cherry lips and kept it under the

pillows. Impatient, she took out her phone and dialed Alex’s number.

Cheryl, on the other hand, was keying in the prescription to her computer.

Suddenly, a ring echoed throughout her office.

She looked towards the direction of the noise and realized it wasn’t her phone that was ringing.

It was Alex’s. He had left it here to charge his battery.

She ignored the call.

After a brief while, it rang again. Upon a closer inspection, the contact read ‘Wifey.’

Cheryl pursed her lips, still refusing to pick it up.

On the third ring, Cheryl didn’t know what else to do. She was worried that something might have happened to Dorothy.

She picked up the call and said, “Hello? Alex is currently busy with something else.”

Realizing it was Cheryl’s voice, Dorothy’s heart immediately sank to her stomach. “Are

you… Cheryl Coney?”

The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 235

Just then, Dorothy could feel every ounce of energy in her body draining away as her heart ran cold. She was so upset at that moment that tears instantly welled up in her eyes.

She had wanted to give herself away to the man. She even wanted to pin him down and go on top of him. She had imagined so many different scenarios in her head. Yet, she didn’t think that the man would lie to her and be with some other woman.

Dorothy wanted to hang up and block his contact right there and then. They wouldn’t have to see each other ever again and live their separate lives from then on. Even so,

her heart ached so much. She felt like she was suffocating.

Tears trickled down her cheeks.

“What is he doing?” Dorothy asked without thinking. She felt stupid after asking such a question.

‘What else could he be doing, for a woman to answer his phone at night? It was obvious that they had just done the deed!’

However, Cheryl replied, “He’s doing his duty as a doctor. Do you need anything? If not,

I’m hanging up. I’ll tell him to contact you later. I’m busy now.”

Dorothy wanted to laugh, despite her tears. “Cheryl Coney, do you think I’m some kind of idiot?

I know Alex a million times better than you do. His duty as a doctor? Why don’t you call him a gynecologist then? Can you be any more shameless?”

Cheryl’s hands stopped typing and froze mid-air.

After a short pause, she said, “Dorothy

Assex, if you really want to think that way, I have nothing else to say to you. I’d just like to say that you don’t deserve him.”

Cheryl then hung up the phone.

Putting the phone aside, she continued to work on her computer. As the prescription was digitized, she rushed to the pharmacy and urged her colleagues to pace up.

The victims were weak, and they were losing their energy with every ticking second. If she were to save even just one minute, the victims would have a higher chance of

survival. Upon leaving her office, she initially wanted to remind Alex that his wife called.

However, her anger was immediately triggered at the thought of Dorothy’s words.

‘How

dare she speak of me like that? I’ll just leave her on hold. I won’t tell him for now.

Hmph!’

The dean and vice dean of the hospital, along with Clarence, rushed right into the ward.

They were curious as to what Alex and Wallace were doing in there, more so toward Alex.

They wanted to know if he was really that skilled or just a mere liar.

As soon as they entered the ward, they saw Alex, poking a female patient’s body. More importantly, he was poking the heart. It seemed as if he was molesting the patient in others’ eyes.

“Stop that!” Clarence yelled.

He rushed up to Alex and pushed him away, scolding loudly. “How inhumane are you?

Are you the devil?

The poor girl, she had already fallen victim to such a terrible fate. Yet here you are, making things worse, molesting them when they’re helpless?! What kind of monster are you? Where’s your sense of humanity?”

He intentionally raised his voice to make it as loud as possible.

Clarence wanted to let everyone know that Alex was a shameless and perverted liar. He knew that everyone would side with him, and that would shine Alex in a bad light.

With Clarence’s words, many in the ward started doubting Alex as well, since his methods were far too unorthodox for any average person to comprehend.

He wasn’t acupuncturing nor massaging them, and it did seem as if he was just foolin around.

‘This is clearly molestation!’

However, none of them knew that Alex was actually using the Seven Needles of Exorcism to remove the deadly Chi within them.

They would only be saved once this Chi was removed completely.

“I don’t have to explain anything to you, move!” Alex said coldly.

He viewed Clarence as nothing more but a mere insignificant ant. He didn’t mind crushing him after being bitten twice.

Wallace followed suit as well. “Hey brat, are you trying to get fired? He told you to move!

What is it that you don’t understand?”

A shocked Clarence replied, “Mr. Yoke, have you become an old fool? Can you not tell that he’s molesting them? What kind of medic does this? Can a few pokes save lives?

This is literally molestation. We should arrest this disgusting monster!”

“Bullsh*t! You have no idea what you’re talking about!” Wallace had no idea what Alex was doing too, but he had seen Alex use such methods on Keith. It looked exactly the same, and they were actually gentle and straightforward.

The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 236

“Uhm, doctor, are you sure that he’s not treating the patient?” a middle-aged man asked.

He was the father of one of the victims. His daughter was the last one to receive Alex’s treatment.

Hence the deadly Chi within her was yet to be removed. Everyone else’s odies had been cleared of the Chi except for her.

Clarence looked determined. “I’m sure of it, I swear on my life!”

The man already had doubts about Alex.

‘How could such a young man be so skilled?’

He turned to Alex and said, “My daughter doesn’t need your help. I could already tell that this was no treatment. You’re obviously just trying to molest her. You’re disgusting.”

Alex’s gaze turned cold. “Are you sure?

If your daughter doesn’t receive treatment now,

her life would be at risk.”

The man was stern. “I’m very sure. Don’t you dare curse my daughter. She doesn’t need a liar like you to save her.”

Alex shrugged, nodded, and left immediately.

Since he was just here to help Cheryl out, providing treatment was just out of pure kindness.

He was no savior, and so when someone chose death, he wouldn’t be bothered to beg them to let him save them.

Wallace looked at the man, then towards Clarence. Letting out a scoff, he left the ward as well.

Alex decided to look for Cheryl. He still remembered that he was about to have his firs intimate date at Landison Hotel. Ashe looked at his watch, he realized it was time to leave.

Just then, Cheryl had just exited the pharmacy too, holding a bag with a few ice cream cones.

“You’re back! The medicine is getting made now. It’ll be done in an hour,” Cheryl said as she took out an ice cream cone. “I passed by a convenience store and bought these along the way. You can have one. Pick a flavor!”

“Uhm… That’s alright. The patients are pretty much fine now. As for the medicine, have them take it once a day for a week straight.”

Cheryl smiled and gave him a thumbs up.

Cheryl and her colleagues had been busy figuring out a way to save these victims, yet none of their methods worked. And yet, Alex was able to save them so effortlessly in just a few hours.

‘Why should such an amazing man be married to Dorothy? She wouldn’t even let him sleep with her. Why should they stay together?

They’d be better off divorced.’

With this thought, Cheryl unwrapped one of the ice cream cones and handed it to him.

“Just have one, I already bought it anyway!”

Alex shook his head. “Nah, I have to go.”

“You’re not going to wait till the medication is done?”

“No, I still have something to do.”

Cheryl could feel her heart sink. “Then, just think of it as accompanying me. It’s kind of sad eating alone, you know?”

Alex let out a chuckle and nodded in surrender. “Alright, alright.”

He grabbed the ice cream cone and took a few bites. However, his mind was distracted, imagining scenarios of what would happen in the hotel. He was so out of it that he ended up getting some ice cream on his cheeks.

“Hey you, you’ve got ice cream on your face. You’re such a child,” Cheryl laughed at him.

“Really? Where?” Alex was stunned.

“There. Come on, lean forward a little. I’ll wipe it off for you.”

Alex didn’t think much and leaned towards Cheryl.

Cheryl took a piece of tissue. However, having his face so near to hers made her heart

pound like crazy. Her mind was slightly hazy. She couldn’t think straight and kissed him.

She kissed the ice cream off his cheek.

Alex froze in his tracks.

Just then, he could see someone standing at the door at the corner of his eye. It was his

wife, Dorothy Assex. With this, the color drained from his face, and he froze just like an

iceberg.

The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 237

Dorothy stood at the door, staring at the two. Her cold expression pierced Alex’s heart,

and he was terrified. She then turned around and left without a word.

“Dorothy! Dorothy!” Alex immediately chased after her, disappearing from the office.

Cheryl walked to the door, watching Alex run off down the halls. She touched her face, blaming herself, slightly regretting her actions. However, she was relieved after putting some thought into it.

‘It’s better if they get a divorce. Since they don’t love each other, they shouldn’t cause each other any more pain. If you don’t know how to cherish this man, then I would!’

She waltzed back into her office, still eating her ice cream and thinking about the kiss.

Her face flushed once more. ‘I was so bold!’

“Dorothy, please, let me explain!” Alex rushed out of the hospital and grabbed Dorothy’s hand.

Dorothy turned around and slapped Alex across his face. The slap was loud and crisp. “What is there to explain?

I saw it with my own eyes. I caught you red-handed, so how could you talk yourself out of it? I’ve given you so many chances, yet you’ve cheated on me over and over again. What more can I do?”

Alex replied, “I didn’t cheat.”

Dorothy’s eyes were red as tears started welling up. “You didn’t? Then was I

hallucinating? Was that a ghost? You can try erasing that by gouging out my eyes! Let go! I said, let go of me! You disgust me!”

Many people were walking down the streets at this hour. As Dorothy’s voice was loud, it soon attracted a crowd.

Everyone was disgusted by this cheater of a man. Many started pointing fingers, gossiping within themselves.

“Ugh, what a jerk! Even pigs are better than him. How could he cheat on such a beautiful wife? Is he blind or mentally ill?”

“He should be drowned in the sea.”

“He should be skinned alive before being drowned! ”

“Trash, he’s such a bastard! I can’t bear watching this anymore. Beat him, beat him up!”

Some from amongst the crowd were triggered, and they seemed to be engulfed by anger as they lunged towards Alex. However, Alex stood still and activated his Chi, sending vibrations to their minds.

Just then, Dorothy flung his hand away and ran off with a determined expression. She was able to reach a street by a river within a couple of seconds.

Alex furrowed his eyebrows slightly. He knew that it wasn’t safe here, especially at night.

He tried chasing after her, yet he lost track of her.

“Dorothy! Dorothy!”

He looked all over the place, covering as much ground as he could.

Alex was frustrated and started panicking, the reason he didn’t notice the gentle breathing nearby.

Dorothy just wanted to be alone at that time. She didn’t want to see him, so she hid in a corner, and only emerged after Alex was far and had walked in the opposite direction.

As she continued to walk alone, more tears welled up in her eyes. Her mind was still filled with the images she had just witnessed. Alex lowered his head, and Cheryl was kissing him.

From Dorothy’s point of view, she thought that they were kissing on the lips

The image was so ironically beautiful.

That was her husband, the man that she was prepared to give herself away to. ‘Liar, liar!

I’ll never believe you! ’ She walked around aimlessly in despair.

After wandering for quite a while, she realized that her surroundings were unfamiliar.

Turning into a pavilion, she noticed that a figure was standing in front of her.

She thought it was Alex.

However, upon a closer look, it was not. The man was wearing all black and even had a black cap on his head. Under the street light, she couldn’t see his face, and it was blurry. What caught her attention was a woman lying next to her feet.

The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 238

The woman was squirming, trying to take off her clothes. Her jacket was already off at that point in time, and her foxy figure could be seen under the dim moonlight.

They seemed to be in the middle of something.

Dorothy was slightly taken aback. She apologized and turned around to leave. She thought she wouldn’t get into trouble if she quickly walked away and pretended like nothing happened. However, the man in black rushed towards her and blocked her way. “Where are you going?”

The man stared at Dorothy intently. His eyes lit up.

With just a whiff, he could smell the fragrant scent of perfume on her body too.

This was the effort that Dorothy had put in for Alex, and she had on a rather sexy dress too. Everything that she had done to impress Alex was now the main cause of her getting into trouble.

She could tell that the man was up to no good. Backing away, she asked in a quivering voice, “What… what are you trying to do?”

The man cackled. “It’s night time. What else would I be doing? Of course I’m going down on the both of you! Ah, What luck.

Not only did I get myself a sexy little cat, but I even bumped into such a gorgeous prize! Hahaha! I’m going to enjoy every bit of this!

Don’t worry. I won’t let you die. I’ll… toy with you a little more,” he smirked.

Dorothy could feel her heart pounding out of her chest, and she was horrified.

She had seen quite a few young women fall victim to such a fate on the news. ‘Could I have bumped into this serial criminal?’

“Don’t, don’t come near me! My husband is nearby. He he’s powerful! ” Dorothy quickly thought of Alex and she was desperate for him to be here right now, to save her.

The man was not fazed. “Your husband? Stop joking. You think I can’t tell that you’re still a virgin? You’re full of Yin! How could you have a husband? Or maybe, your

husband’s a eunuch? If so, let me show you a whole new world. You’d fall in love with me from now on.”

“Ah!!! Help!” Dorothy screamed, taking another step back.

However, she tripped on something and fell to the ground with a thud.

The woman that she spotted earlier had been squirming and rolling on the ground the whole time.

She managed to get behind Dorothy, making weird noises. Her hands looked as if they were trying to rip her own pants apart. She looked like she had lost her mind.

Seeing this had terrified Dorothy even more. Fearing for her life, she screamed as loud as she could, “Help! Help! Hubby! Please save me!”

Cheating matters were no longer on the line here.

The man in black chuckled and smacked Dorothy on her neck, causing her to lose consciousness.

He stood in place, looking at the two women lying next to his feet.

“Both of them are beauties, hmn… So who’s first?”

In the end, he decided to start with Dorothy as she was prettier after all.

Chuckling, he reached his arms out to rip Dorothy’s clothes off. Just then, a chilling voice rang in the man’s ears.

“Don’t you dare lay a finger on her.”

“Who’s there?” The man was startled, retracting his hands immediately.

Hyper-aware of his situation, he immediately took a few steps back.

A figure emerged from the clump of trees nearby. It was Alex, and be rushed over as soon as he heard Dorothy’s voice.

He was expressionless, yet his blood boiled with anger. He was glad that he managed to get there before anything happened, or this might have just resulted in a tragedy.

He mentally listed this man on his death list.

Alex turned to look at Dorothy, who had been knocked out cold. He let out a deep sigh

of relief and then turned to the woman who appeared deranged, still trying to rip her pants off.

He was shocked. He knew this woman. It was Anne Coleman from the Divine Constabulary.

The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 239

Alex laid his eyes on Anne’s body for a few seconds.

After averting his gaze, he couldn’t help but take another glance, fixating his eye on her for a few more seconds.

‘This is too much for the eyes!’

She looked even sexier compared to when she was wearing a bikini.

At that moment, the man in black was able to see Alex’s face clearly. He realized that he was just an average person and didn’t seem to radiate a fighter’s aura.

Relieved, he spat on the ground and said, “F*ck, I thought it was someone from Divine Constabulary again.

I didn’t expect a weakling. Who the f*ck are you, huh? How dare you try to butt into someone else’s business?”

He walked closer to Alex.

The man had decided to kill this insensible fool with a single slap and throw him into the river to feed the fishes.

Alex stepped in closer as well, as his gaze laid upon Dorothy. He said softly, “I’m her husband.”

“Huh?” The man in black froze and immediately burst out with laughter. “And I was wondering who the hell you were. So you’re the husband of this gorgeous prize! I have a question for you, though.

Are you a eunuch? Look at your alluring wife. How could you

not want to eat her up? She’s still a virgin up till now. That’s good, that’s very good actually. I have to thank you for allowing me to get my hands on such a beauty! How should I thank you, huh?”

Alex replied coldly, “Simple, just kill yourself.”

‘What?’

The man froze. His eyes were filled with murderous intent.

At the same time, Anne had reached climax and had taken off her jeans, and he couldn’t wait any longer either.

Especially since he had two missions now.

“Enough chit chat, just go to hell!” The man said as he lunged towards Alex He was moving at the speed of lighting and was swinging his fist towards Alex’s chest.

“Are you an Advanced Royal fighter?”

Alex could tell his fighting rank, as he could

sense a familiar and chilling energy within him.

It was very similar to the deadly Chi within the victims’ bodies.

“So it was you!!” Alex growled at the man, not dodging his attacks.

Alex had wanted to test his defenses and to sense for himself that deadly Chi that emitted from his attacks.

With a loud thud, a hard punch landed on Alex’s body. The man was expecting Alex’s heart to explode from the impact. He couldn’t wait to see blood flowing down out of the seven orifices of Alex’s face and watch him die on the spot.

However, unexpectedly, it

was as if Alex had turned into the hulk.

Alex stood still. He hadn’t even moved an inch. The man in black could then feel the repercussions of his attacks, which he took pride in, backfiring at him as soon as he hit Alex

Chi’s deadly flow entered Alex’s body as well, but it was diminished by Alex’s Chi, disappearing into thin air.

With a loud crack, the man’s fingers were all fractured.

‘How could this be?’ the man thought as he writhed in pain. He simply couldn’t believe what was happening. As he failed to kill Alex, he tried to make a run for it.

Alex, however, swiftly grabbed him by his cap and hair, pulling him back to the crime scene.

Alex was able to yank his cap off, along with a large chunk of hair that had been violently ripped off.

Alex was once again extremely shocked as soon as he saw the culprit’s face. This was also someone he knew.

It was the shadow man who trained Trevor Newman from Green Dragons. He had come by California State University during the battle of the two clubs.

“It’s you!” Alex recognized him. Everything made sense now.

This man was the lowest of the lowest within the shadowmen, who stole Yin from young women.

It was now obvious why the victims had been drained of their Yin. Moreover, he even inserted a flow of deadly Chi into their bodies, gnawing away at their lives bit by bit.

He was the absolute scum of mankind, undeserving of a single bit of forgiveness even if he died a hundred times over

The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 240

As those thoughts crossed his mind, Alex could feel a deep, murderous intent surging within him. If Dorothy and Anne were to end up in the hands of this scum, they would have to endure a more painful fate than death itself.

“Die!” The man in black attacked again, sending a punch toward Alex’s throat.

Before he could attack, though, Alex grabbed his fist with one hand and tightened his grip. The man’s fist crackled, and every bone shattered into pieces. It was as if a steamroller had crushed it multiple times.

Since the fingers’ nerves were linked to the heart, the man yelped and howled from the excruciating and unbearable pain. He finally realized that he was up against an absolute beast.

In front of Alex, his training and skills were made into a laughing stock.

‘Escape!’ That was the only thing he could think of at the moment.

That, unfortunately, was all but an idealistic scenario. In reality, Alex had already decided on killing the man.

He had crossed Alex’s bottom line and wouldn’t be able to escape this easily. Crossing his bottom line meant only one thing- death.

Dorothy was his bottom line.

“Do you really think you can escape?” Alex’s eerily gentle voice sounded like the Grim Reaper.

The man could only stumble a few steps before Alex grabbed him by the shoulder. With yet another loud crack, his scapula was shattered as well.

Alex used his electrifying Chi and pressed down on his shoulder. Within just a second,

every vein in the man’s body was swiftly decimated along with his core.

The man

spurted blood out from his mouth and lost consciousness.

As he lifted his foot, Alex wanted to snap the man’s neck into half, ready to stomp it into oblivion.

Right at that moment, however, Anne shouted, “Don’t kill him!”

“Oh?”

Alex put down his leg and stared at Anne, who was now sitting up straight She looked the same as to when he had seen her in a bikini, but even so, she still

seemed much more seductive now. Her face was flushed, and with clenched teeth, her body trembled as well.

Not only did the man insert his deadly Chi into her body, but it appeared that she had been poisoned as well.

“Why? Do you have something going on with him? Did you volunteer?” Alex was not interested in Anne one bit, hence be decided to make fun of her, given the chance.

“You’re such a jerk! ” Anne spat in rage.

Nonetheless, she let out a soft moan after that.

She even started fondling her breasts.

This was all due to the effects of the poison, and she couldn’t help herself.

Alex’s eyes were fixated on her as he laughed softly.

“Alright, it’s my fault for ruining

your moment. I’ll be leaving now.”

“You… Hey, don’t go!” Anna started panicking. She bit down on her tongue, using sheer perseverance to keep herself sane.

She felt extremely drained of energy and didn’t know when she would lose her mind again.

If another guy were to come over and lend a hand in her current state, she would be done for.

Alex replied, “It’s late. Why would I stay here?”

He gingerly picked up Dorothy, still unconscious at that time, his eyes gentle and loving.

“I’m poisoned. Aren’t you a celestial doctor of sorts? Get it out of me! I can’t take it anymore… Quickly!” Anne yelled as she continued trembling.

“This is possibly the worst way you could ask for help. I’m not interested.”

“What? Oh, you jerk… please, I’m begging you, help me…” She could feel something welling up in her body again and knew she might lose her mind again in just a few moments.

Alex shook his head, “How insincere.”

A struggling Anne bit down on her lower lip till it started bleeding. She held her legs together as her expression twisted. She then clenched her teeth and moaned, “Good…

good sir, my good brother, please sav… F*ck me!”

She initially wanted to ask him to save her, but the poison had affected her mind, and she succumbed to lust once again.

Alex’s heart jumped, he then reached an arm out and pressed it against her body.
