Ch. 351..360
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 351
Norman was really livid as he was about to explode with rage. He wasn’t just anybody. After all, he was the young heir of Star Entertainment The security car in the back was for mere servants, how could someone like him sit in such a car? If this news were to be spread to the public, wouldn’t he become a laughing stock?
In the end, Bunty offered her seat and let Norman sit in the back seat. Then, she ran to the security car in the back.
Although Daya didn’t want to let Norman in the minivan, she could only bear with it. On the surface, she knew she had to be nice and polite toward Norman, but deep down, she was quite satisfied with Alex’s domineering actions toward him.
At 4:10 p.m., Daya and her team, in three cars, had arrived at the entrance of California State Stadium. There were still three hours till the concert started, yet many of Daya’s super fan groups and all kinds of paparazzi had almost crowded the entrance.
A variety of welcome banners were raised as they were accompanied by the cheers of the fans from all walks of life.
As soon as they saw Daya’s car fleet, everyone rushed over like waves.
“Daya! Daya! I love you!”
“You’re the best, Daya! You can do this, Daya!”
The atmosphere had livened up and risen to its peak immediately, it was even more shocking than any movie scene.
Alex could see Beatrice within the crowd with his sharp eyes. She was really worthy of the title of hardcore fan, she wore an outfit that was probably designed by a fan club, she had even painted Daya’s portrait onto her face. While holding a flower banner in her hands, she screamed hysterically like a maniac.
Alex then took a glance at Daya through the rearview mirror.
He thought, ‘If this woman were to find out that that shrieking idiot outside is my sister-in-law, she might burst into laughter!’
The on-site security guards and the officials, who were sent over to maintain order, hurriedly raised the alert by forming a wall of human barriers to block the fans from getting in the way. This had opened up a lane for the cars to be slowly driven in, with the minivan sandwiched between the two other security cars.
Just then, many fans started throwing the fresh flowers that were prepared in their hands. Party poppers were blasted one after another, as if this were some grand outdoor party.
“Daya! Daya! I love you!”
“You’re the best, Daya! You can do this, Daya!”

Alex, who was in the passenger seat, could clearly see Beatrice not only threw the fresh flowers at them, but she even went as far as to take off her jacket and danced around like a complete idiot… As the car fleet slowly approached Beatrice, Alex was worried that she might recognize him, hence he immediately put on his shades. With this, not even Dorothy could recognize him.
“F*ck, I hate these hardcore fans the most. They’re like hordes of zombies. I wish I could just step on the pedal and run them over,” Norman, who was sitting in the backseat, said with an obviously annoyed expression.
Autumn smiled. “You’re right, Mr. Hansen. These people really are despicable. However, if you were to treat them like stacks of cash, you’d feel much better, right?”
In that instant, Norman smiled smugly. “You’re so right, Autumn. These hardcore fans would actually do anything for our Daya. They wouldn’t mind going bankrupt. Heck, they wouldn’t even mind selling their organs just to come see her! We could only make this much money because of them. Looks like they aren’t all that annoying after all. We should welcome them warmly!”
With that, he even turned to the window and shouted, “Hey! Hello everybody!”
Daya frowned but she did not say a word. She obviously disagreed with what Norman said about her fans.
Alex, on the other hand, deeply sympathized with hardcore fans like Beatrice.
Squeal!
As the minivan was driven forward, they were only half a meter away from Beatrice, who was being blocked aside.
Through the car window, Beatrice and Alex met eyes for a brief moment, despite the shades.
“Holy sh*t! Who is this guy? He looks ridiculous!”
“Yeah, I saw him too! When did a masked man join Daya’s private team?”
“Let’s not care about him, he might just be some ugly bodyguard!”

“Let’s not care about him, he might just be some ugly bodyguard!”
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 353
Alex was in extreme shock.
With a mixed expression, his eyes were fixated on Daya, who was passionately singing on the stage. He initially thought that she was just a popular female star at best, only then did he realize that it was wrong for him to underestimate her abilities. This woman’s power was simply insane.
Alex could only sense her immense powers because he had been cultivating his mental powers lately. Or else, he wouldn’t be able to figure out the extent of her mental powers.
Well, the mental power that Alex had used on Bunty earlier could only travel two meters at most. It could be just known as a simple release of mental powers. However, the strength of the mental power would depreciate drastically if it had travelled over two meters. The said power could be almost negligible if it were to travel further than ten meters.
Meanwhile, at the scene, the distance between Daya and the end of the stadium was at least a hundred meters. Her powers could travel such a long distance despite the disruptions, just how powerful was her mental powers?
It was really immeasurable.
No wonder Daya could become such a famous female singer. All her concerts were fully occupied, the said concert tickets were extremely hard to be obtained.
This reason actually lay within here.
Alex then turned to look at the audience under the stage. None of them moved, they just focused on Daya’s performance, indulging in her beautiful singing… This scene looked extremely odd and creepy, as if tens of thousands of people at the scene could not move their bodies at all as their minds were tranced by Daya’s singing.
Alex was affected as well. It was as if he could feel the artistic conception, Daya’s thoughts, and emotions that she wanted to express in her singing.
The song ended, only then did everyone snap back into reality as if they had just woken up from a dream.
During the performance, everyone felt like they had experienced a journey of love beyond time and space. They could feel the unswerving vow between the male protagonist and the female protagonist, till it faded into endless yearning… That’s right, Daya’s “Galaxies For You” was about a sad and hopeless romantic tragedy where the male protagonist was exiled to the ruins of the universe and the female protagonist, on the other hand, waited loyally for him to come back to her some day. In the end, the man had travelled through galaxies just to see her again, yet the woman had fallen sick due to lovesickness, and ended up passing away before he could see her.
Everyone at the scene, except a few, had tears streaming down their faces. In the next moment, they gave thunderous claps.
“Daya! Daya! I love you!”
“I would devote my life just to you!”
Countless Daya’s fans started shouting and the endless waves of glow sticks lit up the whole stadium.
After that, everything had gone fairly well during the concert, nothing unexpected happened at all. Even Alex himself thought that Anna had gotten her hand on the wrong information, there didn’t seem to be any so-called foreign hitmen who were after Daya.
At this moment, the concert had gone through multiple highs throughout the night, the invited guest stars had appeared on stage one by one as well. The last session of the concert was a meet-and-greet with fans, three lucky fans were invited to go up the stage.
To Alex’s surprise, his sister-in-law, Beatrice, was one of the three lucky fans. He could see that she was extremely excited, with her eyes glistening and even her lips were trembling.
‘This little brat, does she want to get into the entertainment industry after graduation?’ Alex couldn’t help but secretly think.
At this moment, a sudden change occurred. Sudden loud cries could be heard from the south area of the stadium. As he turned to the cries, he could see a few sparks were initiated from afar, causing a large fire in an instant.
“Fire! Fire!”
Some screamed, the crowd started to panic as well.
Some of their clothes caught fire, so they hurriedly rolled on the ground to put it out.
This wasn’t much of a big deal in the first place, the security team was large enough to deal with just a mere fire. There were many fire extinguishers at the side to instantly extinguish the fire. However, it was almost at the same time, more than seven other areas in the stadium caught fire as well.
It was obvious that someone had started a fire on purpose.
The alarm rang through the stadium, countless audience scrambled to rush out of the entrance in a panic, causing injuries as they pushed and stepped on others.
Beatrice and the other two lucky fans were stunned.
Alex, on the other hand, rushed to Daya as soon as he noticed the sparks.
Autumn and the other female bodyguards only reacted after the fire. They rushed out from backstage and shouted, “Protect our lady! Retreat! Retreat!”
Suddenly, a large metal rack crashed down from the ceiling above.
Boom!
With a loud crash, it happened to fall onto the heads of the three female bodyguards who rushed over.
With a fierce dash, Autumn was able to narrowly escape the grave danger, yet the other two weren’t that lucky. One of them had her head smashed into a pile of bloody goop and died there and then, with blood splattering everywhere. The other had her legs crushed by the rack, she fell on the ground and kept crying for help.
Everyone on the stage froze.
Daya was still quite calm. Being born into the Stoermer family, she had seen quite a few scenarios as such. However, to a fangirl like Beatrice, it was absolutely terrifying to watch a living person be smashed to death, with blood splattering all over her. No one could imagine the terror she was feeling now, unless they were to experience it themselves.
“This way!” Alex grabbed Daya with one hand and Beatrice with the other as they ran toward the left side of the stage.
Beatrice was puzzled for a while, she didn’t understand why this masked man had to drag her along.
However, it was a matter of life and death, she didn’t have the leisure to react at all, she could only get dragged away like a mummy.

The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 355
Bruce might be a big fellow who looked like an idiot, yet he was quite cunning and had many bad ideas running through his head.
Upon hearing Daya’s question, he replied, “That arrogant kiddo thought that I would get in his way, so he chased me out. He wanted to handle those guys alone.”
Autumn nodded and said, “That’s right, this is indeed his arrogant trait. Daya, there’s no time to lose, we have to hurry.”
Bruce led the whole group to the exit whereas Autumn dragged Daya with her. On the hand, Norman took a glance at the stage and spat onto the ground before quickly following the others.
‘Dumbass, this is what you get for going against me!’
That was Norman’s thought at the moment.
Beatrice and the other two lucky fans could only look at each other as they did not know what to do. They weren’t sure if they should follow the group, or stay there.
“What do we do? I’m so scared. ”
“Those people are after Daya. We might walk right into danger if we were to follow them. Why don’t we just hide for now?”
“Hey, you there. Do you know the masked guy who dragged you earlier? You… You should just go. Don’t come near us, or you’ll put us in danger!”
Beatrice had been targeted.
Of course, anyone would prioritise their lives more than anything, especially when one was facing a matter of life and death.
Beatrice was about to cry. Listening to the screams and loud crashes like house demolition coming from the stage, her heart jumped in fear and shock. She suddenly remembered that Alex had warned her to not come to the concert yesterday.
‘Jerk, he must have jinxed it!’ Beatrice thought.
“But I don’t know who that masked guy is! ” Beatrice said panickily.
However, the two didn’t believe her one bit. One of them even picked up a stick on the ground and pointed at her as she shouted, “Are you going to get lost or not? If you don’t, I’ll beat you to death!”
Beatrice was horrified, all she could do was run toward the exit.
The other two fans then looked for a place to hide after chasing Beatrice out.
Just as Beatrice rushed out of the passage, Alex kicked the shut door open and sent it flying. Alex, who was completely drenched in blood, walked into the passage. Of course, none of the blood on his body belonged to him. However, his clothes were quite torn.
At this moment, he was in a towering rage with an angry expression on his face.
Since the moment Alex met Bruce, he did not trust Bruce and had been defensive around him. Because of this, he was able to activate the Mystic Armor as soon as Bruce hit him with a bat.
If he hadn’t activated it in time, the blow would have broken his spine.
This man actually tried to ambush Alex at such a situation, it was obvious as to how evil and cunning he was… Alex knew he had to take revenge.
At this moment, the stage was filled with corpses of those hitmen, there were six in total. All of their corpses looked horrifying, all their limbs were broken and even lost parts of their bodies.
The female bodyguard, who had her legs crushed by the thousand pound metal rack earlier, was now drenched in blood as she laid on the ground, suffering fractures in multiple areas.
Facing the nine assassins, Alex used the metal rack as a weapon and swung it violently at them.
The sight of his attacks at the time were insanely shocking.
All the assassins couldn’t help but feel that their minds were being trampled on by a stampede of llamas. Were they certain that they did not go into a wrong superhero movie set where The Hulk went on a rampage? Why else could there be such a maniac whose body did not look sturdy, yet he had immense strength of a brute?
Six of the assassins had died from the impact caused by Alex’s metal rack.
The other three dared not stay any longer to await their demise, so they hurriedly rushed and blended with the crowd.
Did no one in the audience see any of this?
Of course they did, furthermore it was not a minority! It was just that everyone was busy escaping, most only caught a glimpse of the scene and rushed outside with the others… This was all due to the fire in the stadium having already gone out of control.
***
Just as Beatrice walked out of the passage, she noticed Daya and the others were standing in certain positions inside the inner stadium, with a few men blocking their way.
At first glance, these men were foreigners, all of them were carrying weapons as well. One of them was even holding a bow… Daya’s female bodyguard, who was next to her, had an arrow in her stomach and was currently holding onto her wound as she arched forward with a painful expression.
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 356
She was still bleeding profusely.
Beatrice knew that that bodyguard was called Autumn. Panicked, she hurriedly retreated to the passage as she secretly scanned around the area. Her legs were trembling in fear, she couldn’t even stand up straight. Just then, a short man with dark skin appeared next to her out of nowhere.
“Heyo, there’s a little shawty here too, you look quite pretty!”
“Hahaha, you are mine now, I’ll be having quite a feast tonight!” The short man grabbed Beatrice and dragged her out.
“Ah!” Beatrice screamed out of fear, crying hysterically. She could imagine her terrible fate.
If this black man were to bring her back, she would suffer a fate worse than death… It was rumoured that black men were particularly developed down there compared to the average men. Moreover, this man might have caught some type of STD. When the time came, she would rather die than to suffer such a fate.
Regret finally flooded Beatrice’s thoughts. She regretted coming to Daya’s concert. She knew that she should have listened to Alex and stayed at home.
“F*ck, Ghost, you damn pervert! This is not time for you to look for women, get your *ss back here!”
“Finish these two men off first! ” Among the assassins, a bald man, who was covered in tattoos and wearing a skull mask, angrily said.
“Oh, you bald old man. You guys are too weak, you have not captured them till now! ” Ghost said nonchalantly.
After slamming Beatrice hard onto his shoulders, he continued to walk forward step by step with a smirk on his face.
Beatrice couldn’t stop crying.
Norman was finally terrified, so he hurriedly waved his hands and said, “Please, guys, you’re here for Daya. I have no relation to her, I’m just a nobody!”
Daya looked at him with disappointment, her eyes were filled with hopelessness.
The bald old man replied, “A nobody? Then we’ll just kill you on the way.”
“No no no!” Norman hurriedly pointed at Bruce. “He, he’s my bodyguard, a Mystic ranked fighter! You may have a lot of men and weapons, but you wouldn’t be able to handle a Mystic ranked fighter easily, right? Just let us go and you can have Daya for all I care!”
Autumn was enraged as she said, “Norman Hansen, how could you just say that? Ain’t you chasing after our lady? Yet here you are handing over her to the bad guys just so you can escape, you’re such a jerk!”
Norman furiously replied, “At least a jerk is better than a dead person, right? Anyway, Daya, I’ve been chasing after you for such a long time, yet you damn woman wouldn’t even let me hold your hand! You deserve this!”
Daya shook her head. “Just go, this has nothing to do with you anyway.”
She then pointed at Autumn and Beatrice, who was still draping onto Ghost’s shoulders. “Let them go and I’ll go with you.”
Ghost shook his head. “No, this girl is mine, I won’t let her go. I have to teach her some Kama Sutra tonight after all!”
Upon listening to this, Beatrice couldn’t help but tremble in fear.
Just then, a weird noise came from the exit of the passage.
Clank! Clank! Clank! Clank!
It was the sound of metal being dragged across the floor.
Alex, who bathed in blood, dragged a long angle iron and walked out of the passage.
His gaze was ice cold and his body was enveloped in an aura of murderous intent, as if he were the Grim Reaper who climbed out of hell.
“Let her go!” His expressionless eyes laid upon Ghost.
At this moment, Beatrice lifted her head. Shocked yet confused, she was also pleasantly surprised that the masked guy didn’t die and he seemed to be asking this black man to let her go.
Autumn yelled, “Hey jerk, who are you actually trying to protect here?! Is this fan your wife or your sister?”
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 357
Autumn had really made the right guess.
Beatrice was indeed Alex’s sister, even though she’s his sister-in-law. However, Alex didn’t utter a word as he didn’t want toreveal his identity to Beatrice.
At the same time, Bruce stared blankly at Alex. He was sure that his ambush with the wooden hat on the waist area earlier would be enough to take down even an unguarded Mystic ranked fighter, breaking their spines and ending up with hemiplegia. Moreover, he knew that those nine foreign assassins were all extremely skilled fighters by sensing their Chi.
Yet, Alex was here, well and alive. How did he do it?
Daya immediately spoke up, “You idiot! Hurry and run! Don’t come any nearer, they have a crossbow!”
Daya’s thought was simple. She didn’t think that Alex could be of help at all even if he were to come over, he would just end up as an extra corpse. No matter how strong he was, could he be any stronger than Bruce, a Mystic ranked fighter Furthermore, even a strong fighter like Bruce had already admitted defeat!
Regardless of her warnings, Alex’s eyes were fixated on Ghost.
Beatrice may be a despicable brat that he couldn’t help but slap her, but she was still his sister-in-law and Dorothy’s sister. 80, he couldn’t just stand back and do nothing.
Compared to Daya, Beatrice took the cake here.
“I said, let her go!” Alex repeated his sentence as he tightened his grip around the angle iron.
Ghost turned around slightly and gave Alex a side-eye glance. He chuckled and said, “What if I don’t want to? This woman is my trophy…”
Before he could finish his sentence, Ghost’s words trailed off. A piece of angle iron instantly penetrated his throat.
Beatrice, whose back was hunched over by half, happened to witness such a bloody scene that she could never forget for the rest of her life. Ghost’s blood was even splattered all over her body.
“Ah!” Beatrice’ s vision darkened as she fainted out of shock.
Everyone at the scene fell silent.
It happened all too fast. Alex’s speed was so fast that no one could react in such a short time.
“Attack!” The bald old man roared.
The four assassins immediately got into action.
More importantly, Alex could sense that he was being attacked with mental attack as well. It wasn’t from Daya, but the bald old man. This man was actually skilled in mental attacks.
Bruce and Norman were in trance. After being swept by the mental attack, the two’s minds went blank for a brief moment
The remaining three assassins split up, one rushed toward Bruce, one rushed toward Norman, the last one targeted Alex. These men clearly understood the bald old man’s abilities, hence they could cooperate flawlessly with such swift movements.
They knew that once the opponent was inflicted with the mental attack, they would temporarily space out. To any assassins, one second of spacing out would be enough for them to kill their targets.
Norman, who was just an average man, couldn’t block the assassin’s blow at all. With just one cut, his throat was sliced open. When he snapped back to reality, he realized that a large amount of blood was gushing out from his neck. He could feel that his death was approaching. So, he tried to cover his neck with all his might to prevent the blood from gushing out, as his face was full of fear and disbelief.
He was the young, rich heir of Star Entertainment. He could have anything he wanted as long as he said so. Many women would willingly throw themselves at him. Yet all of this would come to an end, right at this moment.
Bruce was a strong Mystic ranked fighter who excelled in brute force. Plus, he was tall and strong. The assassin would have to jump up if he ever wanted to slice his throat. Hence, the assassin decided to stab his heart.
Puff!
However, to his demise, the dagger did not pierce his heart, it snapped him back into reality instead.
“F*ck!” The assassin froze as he had never seen anything like this.
Bruce was enraged so he grabbed the assassin and kneed him in the gut. Then, he realized that Norman was beyond salvation. He thought, ‘Damn it!’
Just then, an arrow was shot fiercely right into Bruce’s stomach. “Argh!”
Even so, Bruce seemed to have the vitality of a cockroach, he still didn’t die from these two attacks!
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 358
Crack!
Bruce broke the arrow in half and cackled. “You punks, do you really think you can kill me with such weak attempts? I am made of steel, fortified with brute force after training through brute strength! All you did was give me a scratch, what can you do?”
With that, he then turned to Alex. Compared to the assassins, Alex was much more terrifying. The instantaneous killing speed earlier was just so fast that even Bruce himself couldn’t react in time. If Alex had enough strength, he might be able to break his brute defense. However, after turning around, he couldn’t spot Alex. Meanwhile, the assassin who tried to attack Alex earlier had already fallen to the ground, with his neck snapped after making a complete 180 degree turn. That assassin was most definitely dead.
“Oh f*ck!” Bruce could sense a life threatening presence as a chilling sensation gushed up from his sole to his head. He was about to activate his strongest brute force as his defense, but to no avail as the bald guy activated his mental attack on him once again.
Ring!
Bruce could feel a stinging pain in his head as his ears rang.
Just then, a dagger, which approached the speed to break the sound barrier, was stabbed hard into his back. The dagger was then twisted hard, carving into his wound even further.
“Ah!” Bruce screamed in pain.
After turning around, he noticed Alex who was standing right behind him.
“You… You, how dare you?!”
“To return the favor!” Alex said in a cold tone.
Seeing this happened right before her eyes, Daya was in complete shock. However, she quickly regained her composure and was certain that Bruce had ambushed Alex back at the stage.
“So you actually are unfazed by my mental attacks!”
The bald guy knew that he was in trouble. It was within his expectation that Daya wouldn’t be affected by his mental attacks, but he didn’t expect such a skilled fighter like Alex could be immune to it too. The consequence would be very severe as it was not within his plan at all. However, he had no idea why Alex betrayed Bruce and killed him off.
On the other hand, Autumn yelled, “You maniac! You are definitely a maniac! You actually killed Bruce! Can you not tell that this is not a good time to turn against each other? Are you an idiot?”
Alex’s eyes were as cold as a frosty knife as he shot a dirty glare at Autumn. “Say nonsense again, I’ll kill you off too!”
Then, he turned to Daya. “Come here.”
The bald guy, who was decisive, immediately shot an arrow at Daya. He wasn’t aiming for any of her vitals because Daya was still of use to him. He just needed to use such a method to stall Alex.
After shooting the arrow, the bald guy immediately made a run for it.
“Ah, my lady!” Autumn screamed as she widened her eyes.
As the arrow got closer and was about to land on her, Daya widened her eyes as well and couldn’t move a muscle due to shock.
At such a critical moment, Alex fiercely leaped onto Daya and wrapped her in his arms, taking the arrow with his back for her… The arrow that was shot at a short distance was indeed powerful. After all, it could break Bruce’s defensive brute force, it even made a hole on Alex’s Mystic Armor.
It was fortunate that the tyrannical Chi of the Force had blocked this attack for him.
The arrow only penetrated three centimeters into his skin, but it didn’t cause any major wounds.
Daya, on the other hand, was shocked as Alex actually took the arrow for her.
“You… Why are you so dumb?” Looking at the arrow at his back, Daya’s eyes reddened.
However, Alex said coldly, “You’re the dummy!”
He dropped off Daya and backhandedly took the arrow off his back. With a gliding dash, he stabbed hard the arrow into the back of an assassin who was trying to run away… This man was the one who killed Norman.
Immediately after, he dashed and chased after the bald guy.
“Trying to escape? It’s too late!”
“Mental power, break him!”
Alex had been slapped with mental attacks twice by the bald guy earlier, yet he had blocked them out. With this, he came to a new understanding of mental attacks. He then slapped the bald guy right across the face.
Smack!
The bald guy, who fell to the ground unexpectedly, stared at Alex with immense fear. “You actually can use mental attacks too?”
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 359
Crack! Crack!
Alex didn’t have much to say to him, so he just lifted his foot and smashed all of his limbs.
Only then did he let out a deep sigh, with a slightly pale expression on his face. It was not due to killing a person, but because of the drastic mental strength consumption after using a mental attack. It felt as if he hadn’t slept for days and he could collapse anytime soon.
This was mainly due to the limitation of his newly developed mental power, unlike an insane powerhouse like Daya. He actually thought of a question. Considering Daya had such a terrifying talent in mental power, if she could deeply control the power and use it to attack others, none of these assassins would be a match for her.
If she could do that, would she still be a damsel in distress who needed to rely completely on others to save her?
Alex was initially worried that there might be more assassins coming after them, but soon the security team and officials came to their rescue.
The danger was resolved as of now.
At this moment, Daya stared at Alex, who was covered in blood as if he were a devil, with a mixed look in her eyes. Just a while ago, Alex had taken an arrow for her. She was so touched at that very moment. Never did she expect that he flung her away in the next second and even called her a dummy. She thought, ‘How annoying!’
Alex walked back to her and said, “I’ll leave the rest to you now, I’m leaving.”
“Hey, you’re hurt too. Don’t you need to go to the hospital for treatment? You look pretty pale,” Daya immediately replied. She was appalled as she thought, ‘You’re actually going to leave in such a state?’
“Don’t worry, I’m a doctor myself.” Alex casually took out a Blood Energy Pill and consumed it. Then, he walked over to Beatrice and picked her up.
Watching him protect her fan time and time again, she even felt that she was not as important as that fan. Daya felt a burst of inexplicable frustration. ‘Am I really no better than one fan?’
Autumn couldn’t help but yell at him again, “Hey Rockefeller, I really don’t understand you. You’re here to protect our lady. Why are you so focused on saving a hardcore fan? You threw our lady aside just for her too! Could it be that you want to pursue her?”
Alex replied indifferently. “She’s my sister.”
“What? She’s actually your sister?” The two stared in disbelief.
After that, a few officials immediately blocked Alex’s way when they noticed that he was carrying an unconscious girl and leaving the scene… Since so many internationally famous people died at the scene, including Norman Hansen, the young heir of Star Entertainment and the six corpses on the stage, it was too shocking to the point it was no less than an earthquake. Therefore, any related people must be thoroughly investigated.
However, after Alex showed his Divine Constabulary tag, the few officials immediately bowed down and saluted him.
Seeing this, Daya and Autumn couldn’t help but feel appalled.
Autumn’s eyes glistened. “Could it be that he…”
Daya nodded. “I’m afraid that’s the only explanation. I should’ve known that.”
“But he called himself a doctor.”
“Do you really believe doctors could have such excellent fighting skills?”
After leaving the stadium smoothly and placing Beatrice down in a corner, Alex channeled a stream of Chi into her. Then, he left without a word.
Ring! Ring! Ring!
Suddenly, a call came in.
Beatrice hurriedly picked up the call and realized that it was a call from Mona Weiss. She was a Daya’s fan as well, they had come to watch the concert with a few other classmates.
“Beatrice, where are you?”
“I… I don’t know either. I think this is the rear entrance of the stadium.”
“Oh gosh, you had us worried sick. We thought something had happened to you! We’ll be waiting for you in front of the security guard house at the front gate. Come here quickly!”
“Alright, alright, I’ll be there soon.”
Beatrice hung up and rushed toward the front gate. Alex, on the other hand, did not go far. He was actually hiding in a dark corner. After watching Beatrice leave safely, he took his phone out and made a call. “Waltz, come pick me up. I’m at the back entrance of California State Stadium.”
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 360
At the front gate of the stadium, Beatrice immediately flung herself into Mona’s arms and cried hysterically as soon as she saw her.
“Ah! What happened to you, Beatrice? There’s so much blood on you!”
“Have you gotten hurt?”
Beatrice shook her head. “No, it’s someone else’s. Just now, I was captured. Luckily one of Daya’s bodyguards saved me.”
As she spoke, the image of Alex’s brave actions flooded her mind.
At her most hopeless, helpless and saddest moment, that masked man, as if an angel who descended from Heaven, came to save her from that black man. He even killed the bad guys with a blade.
She had been dreaming of being in love with a warrior since childhood. Hence, she couldn’t help but feel extremely excited when she thought about that man.
“Mona, I’m in love!” She suddenly said.
“What?” Mona was puzzled. “With who? Could it be Wilson Jordan?”
Mona felt the need to ask, because she had a crush on Wilson too.
Beatrice shook her head. “It’s not Wilson, but a masked bodyguard! I’ve fallen hopelessly in love with him!”
Mona placed her hand on her forehead. “Oh my god, have you gone mad?”
Just then, one of their classmates spoke up, “Let’s go now. I heard some assassins came here just to kill Daya, it’s too dangerous to lurk around the area. We have to go home.”
At the same time, the news of Daya’s assassination had spread through the internet.
Due to her influence as a superstar, when the news came out, it spread through the entire America like a typhoon. In just half an hour, the news peaked on Twitter’s headline and appeared in many trendy search rankings of other social platforms. The top five trending hashtags were about the concert.
Daya’s safety had caught countless people’s attention. Many of her friends had called just to inquire about her situation and comfort her.
At 11.30 p.m., Daya posted a tweet. “I’m alright, don’t worry.”
At 11.35 p.m., she hurriedly posted another tweet. “I’m sorry to have scared all of my beautiful fans. We’ll be sure to compensate for today’s accident later. If any of you were hurt during the incident, please kindly send us an email… I’m still alive, but one of my bodyguards has passed. My other three bodyguards were severely hurt as well. I hope they’re safe.”
At 11.40 p.m., a video was posted online, it was the tyrannical scene of Alex wildly swinging the large metal rack and fighting off nine assassins on the stage. The video was unlmowingly recorded by someone. The camera was quite far from the stage, but it could clearly capture the masked man who fought maniacally and killed off the assassins.
In an instant, countless comments were left below the video.
“All hail our masked hero!”
“Thank you Mask for sacrificing yourself to save our one and only goddess.”
“Mask, I’d love to bear your children…”
Everyone started making lewd comments later on.
Alex had no idea what was happening at the time, he couldn’t care less either. As soon as Waltz approached him, only then did he feel relieved and fainted right away.
At Assex Villa, Claire and Dorothy were concerned yet wanted to scold Beatrice for her carelessness as they saw her covered in blood. After watching the news and imagining this brat somehow managed to escape death by a miracle, Claire was petrified. She then slapped Beatrice hard across the face.
Beatrice rushed up to her room and slammed her door shut.
After doing so, she started to go online to gather information. With just a few clicks, she was able to find some information on Mask and the video as well. Watching the video over and over, she could feel her heart pounding harder and harder. In the end, her adoration turned into shyness, and she commented under the post. “Thank you, Mask! I’d like to bear your children any day!”
