Ch. 241..250
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 241
Anna Coleman lost all sense of rationality as soon as Alex Rockefeller’s warm hand
touched her. Her entire body shivered as she tried to wrap herself around him.
At first, Alex wanted to give her the cure to disperse the poison in her body.
But when
she tried to cling to him with so much skin ship in front of Dorothy Assex, he didn’t dare continue. Alex immediately pulled away.
When he saw Anna behaving in an even more unbecoming way, he slapped her across the face.
Anna became slightly more aware of herself.
“What… what happened to me?” She was still in a daze.
“You were being a sl*t,” Alex said bluntly.
Anna was furious but her mind was still groggy, forcing her to beg for more. “Oh, big boy. Hurry up and do it. Quickly… Quickly!”
She lost control of her rational mind again.
Alex slapped her once more.
When Anna came back to her senses again, Alex quickly pressed his palm against her energy core. He began channeling his strong Chi energy into her.
Anna’s face turned red and her facial expression became twisted. She seemed to be suffering greatly.
At some point, Anna felt as if she had reached her limits as she
shouted loudly.
Alex had forced the poison out of her body through her own urine.
“Alright. You’re fine now!” He exclaimed before pulling away.
Although he wasn’t
laughing when he looked at her, his twisted facial expression gave him away.
How did Anna feel?
She was absolutely mad.
Was she grateful?
There was no way she could possibly be grateful. She wanted to kill Alex!
“I’ve seen that man before in California College of Business. He’s a Shadowman by the name of Trevor Newman, the leader of Green Dragons.
He’s likely the cause of all the
victims’ suffering in the hospital,” Alex said as he pointed at the man in black on the ground. Then, he picked up Dorothy Assex and left.
Anna looked down. She was still shivering.
After glancing at the man in black, she felt even more enraged. With nowhere else to vent her anger, she immediately walked up to the man and kicked and punched him.
***
Half an hour later, Dorothy opened her eyes frantically.
“Help me, honey!”
The first thing she saw was Alex’s face up close.
“Why… Why are you here?” She asked.
After that, she realized she was lying on Alex’s lap, her body shaking back and forth.
She noticed they were on a boat.
Alex looked at her with a tender gaze. “Didn’t you ask me to save you? Look, I’m here. I saved you.”
Dorothy sat upright and looked around.
She noticed they were on a stationary boat in the river adjacent to the pedestrian’s walk, but she had no idea who this boat belonged to.
Dorothy suddenly slapped him across the face. “Who asked you to save me? Who gave you permission to save me?
I don’t need you to save me. Just let me die. Won’t you be
happier if I died? You can live happily ever after with that shameless female doctor.”
Alex found it impossible to reason with women when they threw a fit like this.
However, Alex didn’t dare use his Chi energy either. “I already told you. There’s nothing between Cheryl and I…”
“You two address each other so intimately, you even kissed her. How can you call that nothing?”
Dorothy asked.
“If hitting me will make you feel better, do it!” Alex exclaimed helplessly.
Slap!
“Sh*t! Did you actually hit me?” Alex asked.
“Did you think l would hold back?” She replied.
Dorothy slapped Alex again.
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 242
“I love you,” Alex Rockefeller suddenly said as he looked at Dorothy Assex.
Slap!
“I love you!” He repeated.
Slap!
This time, Alex chose not to speak. Instead, he hugged Dorothy right away.
After an intense moment of struggling, Dorothy gave up. She started crying instead.
“You’re a b*stard. You’re a jerk. All you do is deny things.”
Alex knew that after she cried, their argument would soon come to pass. However, it wouldn’t stop completely.
After a long while, Dorothy slapped him again. Right after doing so, she kissed him. “I hate you.
Don’t even think for a second that I’m letting this go just because you’re denying it,” she said.
“I really didn’t do anything with her! Perhaps she saw you and intentionally wanted to make you upset.
She didn’t actually kiss me. It was just an issue with the angle, and you thought we kissed from your perspective!” Alex exclaimed.
That was the only thing he could say.
“Is that so?” Dorothy seemed swayed by his story.
“Absolutely. Why did you have to yell at her? She’s holding a grudge now,” Alex said.
“In that case, you are not allowed to see her again,” Dorothy said.
“Of course. I only have eyes for you,” Alex said.
He needed to be thick-skinned to please Dorothy. Being honest and straightforward was not a good strategy. That’s something only a fool would do.
Alex personally learned this lesson before.
“What about the presidential suite? Do we still have it?” Alex asked. He was not going to give up such a superb benefit so easily.
“Of course. It’s such an expensive room. I have never treated myself to something like this,” Dorothy said.
“Let’s get going. What are we waiting for?” Alex said.
“Wait a second. What about that guy earlier? I suspect he’s related to the criminal on the news who harmed many young ladies. Also, there was another woman. Did you see her?”
Dorothy suddenly remembered.
“The police came and took that fellow away. The woman was saved too,” Alex said.
Although Dorothy felt that something was amiss when she heard this, she couldn’t quite think of any other explanation.
Hence, she stopped thinking about it.
Very soon, the two of them arrived at Radison Hotel and walked into their room.
Alex couldn’t wait to take his wife to bed, but Dorothy pushed him away. “Take a shower!”
By the time Alex came out of the bathroom, Dorothy seemed to have transformed into someone else.
Five minutes later, Dorothy held Alex’s hand. “Honey, I am your real wife from now on.
Nobody will ever say that you can’t get into bed with me, and nobody can say I refused to sleep with you.”
“You didn’t have to say something cheesy like that.” Alex felt speechless.
“Honey, love me,” Dorothy said and kissed him.
Her sentence seemed to have ignited a flame in Alex. Just as he thought they were about to have sex at last, Dorothy’s phone started ringing. What bad timing.
At first, Alex wanted to ignore it and wait until they had finished havin However,
the phone wouldn’t stop ringing, and it really affected their mood.
“We should pick it up! ” Dorothy said.
Alex nodded. When he looked at the screen, he could see that it was a call from Claire Assex.
“Mom, what’s up?” Dorothy picked up and asked.
“Are you asking me what’s up? Where are you? Why did you leave in the middle of the night?
Didn’t I tell you not to leave the house at night? But you disappeared in the middle of the night anyway. Are you trying to give me a heart attack? Where are you?
Tell me, quickly.”
Claire didn’t sound very happy.
“Mother, I haven’t gone anywhere I shouldn’t. It’s very safe here,” Dorothy said. “What do you mean ‘safe’? How could a pretty girl like you stay out at night? How could you be safe?”
“It’s true. I… I’m with Alex?” Dorothy replied.
“What? You’re with that piece of trash. What are you two doing together in the middle of the night? Did you go to a hotel? Do you want to die? Hurry up and come home!” Claire exclaimed.
“Mother, Alex is my husband. So, what if I went to a hotel with him? It’s legal,” Dorothy said angrily.
Claire was going mad. “I don’t care if it’s legal or not. You can’t do it without my agreement! What did that piece of trash do to deserve you? He has no money and no way of providing for you. I don’t approve of a son- in-law like him. Come back right now.
If you don’t come back, and end up sleeping with him, I’ll kill myself. I’m going to get a
knife right now. You can deal with my dead body when you get back.”
Then, Dorothy heard Beatrice Assex’s voice. “Sister, Mother really is holding a knife to her neck. Hurry up and come back!”
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 243
After the call with Claire Assex, Alex Rockefeller started yelling. “I must have been
indebted to your mother in my past life. That’s why I have a mother-in-law like her now.”
Alex couldn’t take it anymore!
Dorothy Assex blinked several times. “Don’t be mad. Why don’t we… Continue doing it?” She asked.
Alex really wanted to do it. They were so close, but Claire was throwing a fit with a knife
to her neck. Although Dorothy said they could continue their moment of intimacy, she couldn’t hide the look of concern in her eyes.
Besides, after all that drama, Alex was no longer in the mood for sex.
“Forget it. Let’s go back and check on her!” Alex sighed.
“Even if we try to continue now, the mood has been spoiled. We’re both doing it for the first time, we shouldn’t let stuff like this make it a regretful experience. Don’t worry about it.
We’ll make it perfect the next time. We’ve still got a lot of time ahead of us.
What’s the rush?” Alex added.
“Thank you, honey! ” Dorothy said.
“You don’t have to thank me. I can tolerate your mother for your sake,” Alex said.
The two of them quickly packed up and checked out of the hotel before rushing to Assex Villa.
Even before entering the villa, they could hear Claire yelling awful things loudly. “That Rockefeller guy is a piece of trash. If he dares to do anything to Dorothy, I won’t forgive him. I’m going to cut him up into pieces and feed him to the dog.”
Lady Dorothy pushed the door open angrily. “Mother, what do you want? I’m already married. Alex is my husband by law. Why is there a problem for us to sleep together?
Do you want me to stay a virgin for the rest of my life?” She asked.
“Did you lose your virginity?”
This was the first thing Claire said.
Alex was rather speechless. He couldn’t stand watching Claire throwing a tantrum here.
“Honey, I’m going to leave. Let’s keep in touch over the phone,” Alex said.
Claire was instantly triggered. “What did you call her? What right do you have to call her that? Also, I’m warning you.
Don’ t even think of having sex with Dorothy. A useless bugger like you doesn’t deserve her,” Madame Claire said.
Alex wanted to ignore Claire at first, but what she said really annoyed him. “Claire Assex, don’t you just want money and power? You only look down on me because I threw Rockefeller Group away, isn’t that so?
So tell me then, what kind of man deserves Dorothy?”
“What kind of man? I’ll tell you right now. Rockefeller Group’s young president, Spark Rockefeller is the only man worthy of Dorothy,” Claire said arrogantly.
“Spark Rockefeller?
Hmph, he’s worthless in my eyes.” Alex laughed coldly.
“That’s funny. You’re worse than a piece of sh*t in Spark’s eyes,” Claire retorted.
“Very well! The day I have Rockefeller Group under my feet and get all my stuff back will be the day I sleep with Dorothy. If you still don’ t get off my back when that happens,
don’t blame me for being harsh on you,” Alex said before turning around and leaving.
Claire stomped her feet on the ground in the villa. “Look at him. Is this the man you adore? I’m your mother. Look at how he treats me. Did he just threaten me? Why doesn’t he just go to hell already? How does he think he’s going to bring Rockefeller Group down?
Did he mean to do that in his dreams? Get a divorce, Dorothy. You must divorce him. Otherwise, I’m going to die from a stroke,” Claire fumed.
Lady Dorothy went upstairs to sleep right away. She didn’t say a word the entire night.
The next morning, Alex proceeded to make pills in the basement.
He had stored half of the ingredients the Yowell family gave him. After making a pot of Bone Strengthening
Pills, Alex was still left with a lot of ingredients.
Two hours later, he successfully made a pot of Blood Energy Pills.
Blood Energy Pills were slightly inferior to Bone Strengthening Pills. Since Alex was blessed with divine energy from his ancestors, he had no use for such low-grade pills.
However, these pills were still quite effective for Royal or Mystic rank martial artists.
His main objective in making these pills was to give them to Brittany Rockefeller and Waltz Fleur. Moreover, he also decided to teach the Silver Frost technique to Maya Howards.
However, this was the first time he successfully made Blood Energy Pills. Hence, he needed to test it out himself to see if they were effective.
He casually tossed one of the pills into his mouth and it melted immediately.
Soon, Alex could feel a warm stream of energy flowing through his body.
In fact, it
seemed to nourish his energy core’s Chi, replenishing what he had used up to make pills earlier.
“Blood Energy Pills actually speed up the recovery of blood energy and Chi.” Alex
murmured to himself. He hadn’t noticed this before, it only came to his attention after he personally consumed the pill.
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 244
‘The manufacturing cost of Blood Energy Pills isn’t too much. In fact, the rate of
efficiency of making these pills is quite high. I was able to make thirty pills in a single
pot. In the future, I ought to make a lot more and keep them around just in case they’re needed.’
Alex Rockefeller was lost in thought as he walked out from the basement.
He suddenly bumped into Maya Howards.
After resigning from Dorothy Assex’s company, Maya seemed to have changed the way she dressed.
Now, she wore extremely short pants that showed part of her butt. She also had on a pair of thin, gray leggings that highlighted her long and attractive legs.
Although Alex didn’t have a thing for legs, he was still mesmerized by the sight.
“Alex, come help me out with moving stuff.” Maya waved at Alex before pointing at the
trunk of her Benz.
When Alex got closer, he could smell something fragrant.
It wasn’t the smell of perfume. Instead, it was something natural. People who had physical characteristics like this were very rare, but Maya happened to be one of them.
After exercising, the scent grew even stronger, and it was tantalizing to say the least.
“That’s a lot of stuff. Are you moving here for good?” Alex asked sarcastically.
“Yeah. Am I not welcome?” Maya asked.
“Ahem. Of course, you are.”
However, in reality, she wasn’t really moving in. The truth was that she was going over to Michigan next week so she was going to terminate her rental contract in her previous
place.
Indeed, she had always been renting in California because she wasn’t from the area.
Her original home was in North Tokyo.
Maya didn’t have many relatives back in North Tokyo and her parents spent most of their time overseas and were rarely home anyway. She didn’t seem very close to them.
“Why didn’t you tell me before that you were moving so much stuff?
I could’ve helped
you!” Alex exclaimed.
“You should be embarrassed. I tried calling you on the phone, but you didn’t pick up. Did you block my number?”
Maya rolled her eyes.
“How’s that possible? My phone… ” Alex trailed off.
Suddenly, he recalled that his phone was still in Cheryl Coney’s office!
“Ouch. My waist hurts a little. I accidentally hurt myself when I was walking up the stairs,” Maya said.
“Do you want me to help you with that?” Alex asked.
“Can you actually fix this too?”
“It’s no big deal.”
“Sure. You can help me with it, but don’t make it worse.” Maya warned. Alex immediately agreed and asked Maya to lie on the couch.
However, Alex nearly fainted at the sight of her long legs clasped tightly together. It was the most wonderful sight he had ever seen.
After trying very hard to calm himself down, Alex used his Chi to massage her. Later on,
he activated the Silver Frost technique for her. After giving her a few pills to swallow, the sound of her bones shifting back in place could be heard.
Maya was shocked.
Suddenly, she couldn’t hold her fart in anymore and farted loudly. Her face immediately turned red. She wanted to hide in
a hole somewhere.
Of course, this had happened because of the pills Alex gave her.
“Your fart was so strong that your pants nearly came apart!” Alex laughed loudly. Maya was too embarrassed to lie still. She quickly got up and ran away.
An hour later, Alex quickly rushed over to Premier Hospital in California.
The woman who didn’t receive Alex’s treatment of Seven Needles of Exorcism was now experiencing a significant change in her condition.
Her entire body was spasming and she was frothing at the mouth. It seemed quite similar to what Rose Carson had experienced the day before.
The woman’s father was panicking.
He pulled Clarence Fawl aside and started
questioning him loudly. “Doctor, what’s going on with my daughter? Why is this happening all of a sudden? Why are all the other patients fine but not my daughter?
Explain yourself!”
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 245
Clarence Fawl grew impatient when the man forcefully tugged at his shirt. “What
explanation do you want? Your daughter’s situation became worse because her body is weak. Everyone else is fine. Why is your daughter the only one experiencing those symptoms?
You should ask yourself if you’ve been a good parent,” Clarence said.
“What did you say?” The man was enraged and wanted to hit Clarence. However, he knew how strict a place the hospital was. Hence, he suppressed his emotions. However, his daughter’s situation was getting worse.
Her body continued to experience
spasms. Meanwhile, the monitoring device showed that her blood pressure had dropped below the safe level. An alarm went off and doctors immediately showed up for an emergency rescue.
Meanwhile, family members of other victims shook their heads and spoke. “It must have been because your daughter wasn’t treated by the legendary doctor yesterday.
Otherwise, why are our family members fine? In fact, their conditions are rapidly improving.
Your daughter, on the other hand, is experiencing difficulties. You shouldn’t
have stopped him yesterday.”
“Yeah. That doctor is very capable. Rose Carson’s heart had stopped beating yesterday,
but he managed to save Rose’s life.”
“Also, I heard that the old man who came with that doctor yesterday is the best doctor in the world from North Tokyo.”
The man had previously been suspicious of the legendary doctor yesterday. Now that he had heard what everyone said, he felt extremely regretful.
His daughter was in
critical condition and things didn’t look like they were getting any better.
Despite the doctors working hard to help her, it was to no avail.
Frantic, the man charged over to Clarence Fawl and started slapping him on both sides of his face repeatedly until his nose bled.
“You’re a murderer! If it weren’t for you, why
would I have refused the legendary doctor’s help yesterday? It’s your fault my daughter ended up like this. If anything happens to her, I’ll kill you!” He screamed.
“Bullsh*t! That fellow from yesterday isn’t even a doctor. I asked someone to do a background check on him.
He isn’t even medically trained. He’s just a useless con
artist. You’ve all been fooled by him,” Clarence shouted.
Clarence was secretly jealous of Alex Rockefeller, and already convinced himself of Alex as a con artist from the beginning.
That’s why he stayed up all night asking people to check on Alex. And Clarence did end up finding out quite a lot about Alex.
Clarence formd out that Alex had been married long ago and that he wasn’t Cheryl
Coney’s boyfriend.
He was extremely happy to hear that. In fact, he even made a reservation for two in a high-end restaurant today. He was prepared to propose to Cheryl.
However, he didn’t expect to be slapped by this darned patient’s family member. It might affect his glossy image.
Meanwhile, Alex had just arrived at Cheryl’s office.
To his surprise, she had also just arrived. In fact, she had very visible dark eye circles,
and she seemed exhausted.
“Hey, did you stay up again last night?” Alex asked.
“Alex… Last night… Were you alright?” Cheryl froze when she saw him.
When Alex was leaving yesterday, Cheryl didn’t care much.
However, she felt bad after
that. She was worried that she would be blamed for ruining Alex’s marriage. Hence, she ended up suffering from insomnia thinking about such things.
Alex chuckled. “Did you stay up because you were worried about this? Don’t worry. It’s fine. But please don’t pull a prank like that on me again. My life would really be at risk.”
Cheryl let out a sigh of relief, but she started feeling a little uncomfortable.
Dorothy Assex, aren’t you rather easy to please?’ Cheryl thought to herself.
Alex picked up his phone and was prepared to leave.
He had to help Leanne Graves remove the parasite in her lower abdomen.
He also
needed to extract Priscilla Paytas’ blood to be used as a medicinal primer. However, to find Priscilla Paytas, he needed Michelle Yowell’s help.
However, a nurse suddenly came running in. “Dr. Coney, one of the patients is in a critical condition.
We’ve tried to carry out an emergency rescue, but it looks like she won’t be able to live much longer.”
Cheryl quickly ran out.
Alex’s heart pounded. He figured that it was probably the woman who didn’t receive his treatment last night. After thinking about it for a while, he decided to follow Cheryl.
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 246
Clarence Fawl grew impatient when the man forcefully tugged at his shirt. “What
explanation do you want? Your daughter’s situation became worse because her body is
weak. Everyone else is fine. Why is your daughter the only one experiencing those symptoms?
You should ask yourself if you’ve been a good parent,” Clarence said.

Cheryl quickly ran out.
Alex’s heart pounded. He figured that it was probably the woman who didn’t receive his treatment last night. After thinking about it for a while, he decided to follow Cheryl.
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 247
Indeed, Michelle Yowell had a different thought process compared to others.
“Jack Trent’s wife has been affected by a parasitic disease. I need Priscilla Paytas’
blood as a medicinal primer to create a potion that will remove the parasite from her body,” Alex Rockefeller said.
Michelle immediately became interested and started asking more questions.
Helplessly, Alex explained Leanne Graves’ situation to Michelle from the beginning to end.
Michelle patted her chest. “Jack is part of the Yowell family too. If it’s related to his wife,
I must certainly help. I can get you Priscilla’s blood, but can you tell me why it must be
from her?” She asked.
“Alright, I’ll tell you why.
Priscilla’s body contains Kyuhelios Pulse. Her blood is the
parasite’s nemesis. Besides, if she practices your family’s Slunce Jauda, she’ll be able to achieve a lot in the future,” Alex said.
“Oh?” Michelle’s eyeballs rolled around. An idea just occurred to her.
“Alright, I understand. I’ll give you a call once I get her blood,” Michelle said.
Just as the call ended, someone suddenly ran forward and kneeled in front of Alex. He bowed down and started slapping himself.
Alex was shocked for a moment before he realized that the man was Clarence Fawl.
“Mr. Rockefeller, I was wrong. I was blind to see that you were a legendary doctor. I
shouldn’t have called you a fraud. Please forgive me!” He cried.
Cheryl Coney and Wallace Yoke soon came over.
Cheryl whispered a few words into Alex’s ear. Only then did he know that Wallace was very upset with Clarence and had threatened to kick Wallace out of the medical system.
For Wallace, doing something like this was easily accomplished with the snap of a finger.
Since Clarence’s pleas with Wallace wouldn’t work, he had no choice but to beg Alex himself.
“Alex, although Clarence behaved a little too drastically before, he’s still a pretty good doctor. Why don’t we just let him off the hook?” Cheryl was a kind person. On top of
that, she knew Clarence personally. Hence, she decided to put in a few good words for him.
Alex nodded. “Alright. Since you’ve asked, I’m fine with it. Wallace, shall we let things slide this time?”
“Get lost!” Wallace shouted at Clarence.
Alex smiled. “Wallace, thank you for defending me. It’s almost lunch time now. Why don’t we have a meal together?” Alex asked.
“It would be my pleasure!” Wallace exclaimed.
“Cheryl, let’s eat together!” Alex said.
They didn’t go anywhere fancy. The restaurant they went to was located right next to the
hospital. During the meal, Wallace asked Alex all sorts of questions related to the study of medicine.
Alex replied to all his questions with a smile.
Alex was not the kind of person who kept knowledge to himself. Medical knowledge was
used to cure patients of illnesses. The more people knew about such knowledge, the greater the number of patients helped.
So, why wouldn’t he happily share his
knowledge?
Otherwise, he wouldn’t have passed the knowledge of Thirteen Acupunctures of Hell to James Coney.
Throughout the conversation, Cheryl listened intently even though she couldn’t
understand most of what they were discussing.
However, her gaze as she looked at Alex became increasingly passionate and gentle.
Meanwhile, Clarence was still crying but his eyes were filled with hatred.
As a medical team leader back in Michigan, he had always been well respected and admired by many. At first, he thought that he could further establish himself by leaving Michigan. On top of that, he wished to propose to Cheryl and make her his wife.
However, despite his high hopes, he didn’t expect such an outcome.
He ended up being slapped in front of countless bystanders, including his colleagues
from Michigan. He had to kneel in front of Alex and slap himself. It was way too embarrassing.
He would never be able to hold his head up high in Michigan.
“I must have my revenge!” Clarence exclaimed.
Clarence used to study in California, and he had quite a wide connection here. He immediately walked to a corner in the room and made a call.
“Jake, it’s me, Clarence
Fawl. I need you to take care of someone. I’ll pay you a million dollars once you get the job done.”
***
During the meal, Alex’s phone started ringing.
When he saw that it was a call from Waltz Fleur, he immediately picked up.
“Waltz!” Alex said.
“Senior, I’ve found out who killed Anthony Pattingson,” Waltz said.
“Oh? Who is it?” Alex’s gaze turned sharp.
“Someone from Budweiser Martial Arts Center,” Waltz said.
“What is that place?” Alex had never even heard of it before.
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 248
“Where are you now? I’ll take you there,” Waltz Fleur said.
Alex Rockefeller shook his head. “No. You have to stay with my mother. I don’t trust
anyone else! Just send someone else to take me instead,” he said.
“Alright. I’ll get Azure Storm to take you,” Waltz said.
After the call ended, Alex lost his appetite.
When Wallace Yoke and Cheryl Coney heard that he had to deal with something else,
they let him leave.
Before Alex left, he and Wallace exchanged numbers. When Cheryl saw how excited Wallace was, she couldn’t help but cover her mouth and laugh. Wallace was giggling like an excited child despite being the best doctor known in the world.
Alex paid for the bill at the counter before quickly walking out of the restaurant.
Soon, Waltz Fleur sent Alex the address of Budweiser Martial Arts Center and told him that Azure was already on his way to pick him up.
“Alright. Tell him I’ll be waiting for him at the ferry port at Tokyo Strait,” Alex said.
Since Azure was coming over to pick him up, Alex couldn’t be bothered to get his car from the hospital’s basement parking lot.
Alex continued to walk forward while he pondered. However, he suddenly sensed that he was being followed.
“Who could that be?” Alex’s eyes glinnnered. He pretended not to be aware and turned around, intentionally walking to somewhere with less people. Finally, he stood still by a damaged wall and could tell that there were six people following him.
“You’ve been following me for some time now. Show yourself!” Alex shouted. “Hey, kid. You’re pretty alert!”
Six people surrounded Alex. The one who spoke was a large tall man who seemed to be around the size of Nicholas Hudson. However, unlike Nicholas who was fat, this man was packed with muscles.
The other five men didn’t look very friendly either. These people had ill intentions!
“What do you want with me?” Alex asked with a frown.
He wondered who had sent these people after him. They couldn’t possibly be working for the Rockefeller family.
The large tall guy had a sinister smile on his face. His eyes narrowed. “Nothing much.
We just want to break your hands so that you’ll remember not to get in trouble with just anyone.”
“Who asked you to do this?” Alex asked calmly.
“Enough talking. Let’s go!”
This man sure was decisive. He was getting straight down to business without even bothering to talk.
Alex chuckled coldly and was about to lash out when a car suddenly came crashing into three of the men at high speed.
They were sent flying against the wall and blood spilled
out of their mouths and noses.
Alex stood still.
The moment the car sped over, he saw that the driver was Azure Storm from Thousand Miles Conglomerate.
“Ugh…”
“Jon, Hank, Freddy, are you alright?” The large tall guy roared.
However, he couldn’t care less about Alex. Immediately, he turned around to look at the driver. Coincidentally, he saw Azure walking out of the car with a calm expression on his face.
“Mr. Rockefeller, are you alright?” Azure looked at Alex and asked respectfully.
Before, Azure would still be jealous because of Alex’s relationship with Waltz. But Waltz
had grown so much stronger within a few days of being with Alex. On top of that, Alex
had an unpredictable level of prowess. Hence, Azure no longer had such thoughts. He
only had respect for Alex now.
“I’m fine!” Alex said.
“Who are they?” Azure looked at the large tall guy.
Alex shook his head. “I’d like to find out too.”
Azure charged towards the large tall guy, activating his powers as a Royal rank martial artist.
With a few hits, he managed to beat up the guy pretty badly.
“Hey, Kid. I’m an important person in Budweiser Martial Arts Center. How dare you hit me?”
The large guy yelled angrily.
Azure was stunned for a moment. He immediately stepped on the guy’s calf and broke it. “This guy I’m hitting is from Budweiser Martial Arts Center.”
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 249
Alex Rockefeller felt equally shocked.
Coincidentally, he was looking for Budweiser Martial Arts Center to demand justice. He didn’t expect someone from Budweiser Martial Arts Center to come looking for him.
Could John Rockefeller really have hired people from Budweiser Martial Arts Center to attack Alex?
But Alex couldn’t quite figure out why he would do that.
Back when Alex was in
Rockefeller Manor, he destroyed over ten meters of land surface with a single stomp.
The mighty powers he displayed would convince even a fool to not mess with him. Were these people sent here to die?
“Who asked you to attack me?” Alex asked.
The fat guy gritted his teeth. “I won’t tell you. As long as you two little b*stards don’t kill me today, I will have my revenge. You will regret ever messing with Budweiser Martial Arts Center.”
Crack!
Azure lifted his foot and stepped on the guy’s other leg. This time, the bones in his leg had been thoroughly crushed.
For Azure, one of the Three Great Chieftains of California’s underworld, breaking legs was merely fun and games.
Azure chuckled coldly. “Budweiser Martial Arts Center is nothing. Even your master,
Robert Downie, wouldn’t dare speak to me like this. How dare you threaten Mr.
Rockefeller? I’ll give you a chance to redeem yourself by telling us who ordered you to do this. Otherwise, I promise you won’t live to see tomorrow!”
The large guy’s body was hurting so badly that he was shivering all over.
Only when Azure mentioned Robert’s name did the large guy sense that something was amiss.
“Who… who are you?” The guy’s voice was trembling.
“I am Azure Storm from Thousand Miles Conglomerate,” Azure said in a coolly.
“What? You’re Azure Storm, one of the Three Great Chieftains of California’s underworld?” The guy was stunned.
“That’s me!” Azure said proudly.
The fat man felt immensely regretful right then.
He was Jake Colter, a man Clarence Fawl had hired to teach Alex a lesson. Clarence told him that Alex was a useless piece of trash who depended on his wife and was good
at committing fraud.
All Jake had to do was break his hands, and he would be paid one
million dollars. Jake thought this would have been easy money, but he didn’t think he’d end up meeting a god-like assassin like Azure.
If he had known, he would have killed Clarence and fed his body to the hounds instead.
Was this a blatant setup?
“You have five seconds to decide. Tell me who ordered you to do this, or die! ” Azure said calmly. However, to Jake, Azure sounded like a demon from hell.
“I’ll tell you.
I’ll tell you right now,” Jake said.
He didn’t even hesitate for a single second before revealing that Clarence was the one behind this.
“It’s him!” Alex chuckled softly. He was not exactly surprised.
“Mr. Rockefeller, do you want me to get someone…” Azure said.
Alex waved his hand. “There’s no need. He’s just an insignificant figure.”
He looked around at the people from Budweiser Martial Arts Center.
None of them
looked like nice people. Now, because of Clarence, they ended up severely hurt Would M they even let Clarence off the hook?
However, Clarence had just been begging Alex for forgiveness a while ago. Now,
Clarence ended up hiring someone to mess with him.
Wouldn’t Alex be too kind if he
didn’t return the favor?
Alex took his phone out and made a call.
“Wallace, I was just attacked. They wanted to break my hands.
Clarence Fawl was
behind this. I think he has some serious personality flaws. Letting him stay in the medical system would only make us look bad.” Alex complained to Wallace Yoke.
“What? I can’t believe it. This rascal has lost his mind.
Are you alright, Mr. Rockefeller?” Wallace exclaimed.
“Don’t worry. I’m fine.”
Alex then heard Wallace speaking to someone. “Anna, I’ll let you deal with this. You mustn’t go easy on criminals like him.”
“Mr. Rockefeller, you owe me a favor,” Anna Coleman said into the phone.
Alex’s nose twitched. If it wasn’t for him last night, something terrible would’ve happened to Anna. “Damn! Who pissed in her pants? Why does it stink so badly?” Alex
said bluntly before hanging up.
Anna’s face turned cold as she gritted her teeth. She looked like she was going to murder someone.
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 250
Anna Coleman was currently at Premier Hospital in California.
The man dressed in black yesterday was the culprit who victimized dozens of young women in California. However, he wasn’t the only person involved.
His apprentice,
Trevor Newman, was also one of them. After capturing him last night, Anna was able to interrogate the man and get a lot of answers from him. She then came to the hospital to get more detailed
information from victims.
Anna charged towards Clarence Fawl’s office with a burning rage that had pent up in her.
Meanwhile, Clarence was still waiting for good news from Jake Colter.
He was very confident in Jake, who had proven time and again how capable he was when dealing with these sorts of things. In the past, Clarence had asked for Jake’s help before. Although Jake never charged cheaply, he always performed well and made Clarence feel good.
Although Clarence wished he could personally witness Alex Rockefeller having his hands broken, he couldn’t be there in person because of his status.
“It should be done now, right?”
“That b*stard’s hands should be broken by now, right?”
Clarence was getting impatient, and called Jake on the phone.
After a while, someone picked up. “Jake, Jake. How did it go? Have you broken that useless Rockefeller’s hands?”
A few seconds later, a familiar voice came. “No! But your future is about to be over.”
“What? Are you… Alex Rockefeller?” Clarence asked.
His heart was beating wildly. He had a terrible feeling that something bad was going to happen.
Right then, the door to his office flung open and a tall lady charged in.
“Who are you looking for?” Clarence asked.
“You’re done for!” Anna wasn’t in the mood for chit-chat. She immediately grabbed a pair of cuffs and put them on Clarence.
***
At two o’clock in the afternoon, a Porsche stopped in front of Budweiser Martial Arts Center.
The car belonged to Azure Storm. Alex was looking out the window from the passenger
side.
“This Budweiser Martial Arts Center looks very grand. The building itself must cost a fortune!”
“Budweiser Martial Arts Center is different from other normal martial arts centers. To be precise, they teach real ancient martial arts in the form of Rake Fist.
The owner of this
place is an Advanced-Royal rank expert by the name of Robert Downie, and he has many disciples. Mr. Rockefeller, should I get more of our pals to come over?”
“That won’t be necessary. If you’re scared, you can stay in the car.”
Azure’s facial expression turned dark while he snorted softly. “Mr. Rockefeller, there’s no reason for you to look down on me. I have never been afraid of anything.”
Alex nodded.
“Alright. After we succeed, I’ll help you advance to Peak-Royal rank.”
Azure’s mouth fell open. Although he wanted to refuse Alex, he couldn’t bring himself to say the words. In the end, he slowly closed his mouth.
‘Once I achieve Peak-Royal rank, I should be able to defeat Waltz, right?’
Azure thought
to himself.
However, Alex seemed to have read his mind. “Don’t get too excited. You still can’t beat Waltz even if you achieve Peak-Royal rank.
“Come on. Let’s go in!”
They both got out of the car.
Azure opened the car boot and dragged Jake out of it. By then, Jake was barely
moving.
Azure dragged Jake all the way toward the martial arts center.
Bam!
The half-closed door was kicked open by Azure, who then flung Jake inside.
