Ch. 371..380

The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 371

A will?

Leave this world?

Scott Pattingson nearly laughed out loud, but the cruel look in his eyes became even more piercing.

He didn’t take the offensive right away because he wanted to toy with his enemy, like a cat with a mouse. That was the only way the rage in his heart could be appeased. Being cheated on wasn’t something that could be forgiven easily. He wanted a slow and painful revenge.

“I have never met someone who has a bigger death wish than you do!” said Scott as he laughed coldly.

The Yowell family members were speechless. They didn’t know what to say anymore.

However, when they looked at Alex Rockefeller, their eyes were filled with hatred. They now blamed Alex for everything the Yowell family was going through. Although they were aware that Alex was pretty good in martial arts, Scott was at Intermediate-Mystic rank!

There were very few in the world who could ever make it to Mystic rank, let alone those who could achieve it at such a young age. A genius like Scott was a rare find, and his entire family had spent nearly all their resources to develop a strong person like him as the family’s foundation. Meanwhile, Alex didn’t even know what cultivation was before the age of twenty. Plus, he had been focusing more on the medicinal than the martial arts. If he could really beat Scott, hell would probably freeze over.

Evan Laws immediately stepped forward.

“Alex, do you think you can act arrogant in front of my boss just because you were able to slap me?”

“Do you have any idea what Mystic rank means? It means he can kill you with a single slap.”

“Have you gone mad? Hurry up and kneel before Mr. Pattingson. Beg him to forgive you and let your family live. You created this mess, so you shouldn’t get your family involved,” Evan said chirpily.

He seemed to be in high spirits. It was as if he could finally vent out the anger from being hit before.

In fact, he even stood firmly behind Scott and decided to follow wherever Scott went for the rest of his life. What a traitor!

“Take this!”

Alex stepped forward and slapped Evan across the face. Right away, Evan suffered a fracture in his cheek bone, and his nose-bridge cracked. On top of that, he was sent flying as if he had been knocked by a car.

“How dare you still attack him? Looks like there’s no turning back for you. I’ll send you on your way to hell!”

Scott shook his head and gave Alex the side-eye. He then stomped his foot on the ground, causing the ground to vibrate due to his Intermediate-Mystic rank cultivation energy.

Keith Yowell’s facial expression immediately changed. He felt deeply remorseful. He wished he had stopped Michelle Yowell from seeking Alex out in the past. Perhaps, if he didn’t have the objective to befriend both sides, things wouldn’t have turned out this way.

Compared to Scott, Alex was just a small fry even if he had amazing medical skills.

“The Yowell family had all the right cards in our hands, but I’ve ruined everything!”

“Stop!” While Keith was basking in his own regret, someone suddenly shouted with a clear and crisp voice. Someone came running in, it was Anna Coleman from Divine Constabulary.

She made it just in time.

“I can’t believe it’s you, Scott Pattingson! ”

Anna was shocked when she saw Scott standing there. At first, she thought that Alex and the Yowell family were having a conflict, and that Alex wanted to kill the Yowell family. But it turned out it was actually Scott that he wanted to kill. “What is going on? Can someone fill me in?”

“Grandpa Yowell, are you alright?”

“Michelle… Were your martial art abilities destroyed? Who did it?”

“I did. Anna Coleman, there’s no reason for you to be involved here. Get out of the way,” Scott said bluntly after retrieving his energy.

“What? Is it really you? Are you mad? Michelle is your fiancée,” Anna said.

“How could a b*tch like her deserve to be my fiancée?”

One of the Yowell family’s disciples quickly explained what happened.

Anna became very angry after hearing the explanation.

“Scott, have you really gone mad? Michelle only said those things out of spite. How could you think it’s true and even beat the Yowell family’s people up like this?”

“Did she say those things out of spite? Even if she didn’t secretly get pregnant, she’s already done the deed with another man. I, Scott Pattingson, will not be put to shame! Whoever humiliates me will have to die!” Scott yelled.

His face turned cold as he pointed at Alex. “I want him dead. Anna Coleman, you won’t be able to stop me,” Scott added.

Anna immediately put herself between the two. “He’s one of our people from Divine Constabulary. You can’t hurt him,” Anna said.

The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 372

“So what if he’s from Divine Constabulary?” Scott Pattingson asked.

“Do you want to become an enemy of Divine Constabulary?”

“Anna Coleman, don’t think too highly of yourself. You can’t represent Divine Constabulary.”

Anna instantly frowned. Indeed, she didn’t have enough power for that.

Most importantly, Divine Constabulary had a deep-rooted relationship with the ancient martial arts families. The Pattingson family also knew people in Divine Constabulary. In fact, their own men were in there. If Scott refused to cooperate with Divine Constabulary, there was nothing Anna could do about it.

Anna was also still doubtful of Alex Rockefeller’s capability. Previously, she had thought he was at Peak-Mystic rank. Later, she realized that he only had a lot of strength. He might not be able to fight against Scott who had a very advanced level of cultivation compared to him.

Right then, another voice came. “Can I represent Divine Constabulary?”

“Captain!” Anna yelled in a pleasantly surprised tone.

The person who had arrived was Sky Melvis.

When Anna rushed over, she had given Sky a call. She was afraid she couldn’t stop Alex because she was not as strong as him. However, she didn’t think the person who needed to be stopped was Scott.

Now that Sky was here, Scott might be a little more wary.

“Sky Melvis!” Scott exclaimed.

He immediately frowned when he saw that Sky was here.

Sky was also at Mystic rank. In fact, he had achieved Mystic rank far longer than Scott. If they really did fight, Scott might lose to him. More importantly, Sky had other helpers. Aside from that, Sky was also one of the Twelve Battle Kings of Divine Constabulary. Not only did Sky have a higher status, he also had a stronger network of support. It was very annoying.

“Even you are protecting a little piece of trash like him?” Scott asked.

“That’s right. I’ll protect him with my life,” Sky nodded and said.

Protecting Alex with his life meant something different entirely. That meant Sky was willing to fight the Pattingson family while risking his life for Alex.

Was Alex really this powerful?

Even Anna’s eyes widened with disbelief as she looked at Sky.

“Fine!” After Scott and Sky stared at each other for a few seconds, Scott finally nodded.

“For Captain Melvis’ sake, I’ll forgive him this time!” Scott added before glaring coldly at Alex.

‘Since I can’t deal with you openly, I’ll do it in secret. What could Divine Constabulary do without evidence?’

“Evan, let’s go!” Scott shouted after making up his mind. He asked Evan Laws to leave with him.

Right then, Alex spoke up calmly. “Did I say you could leave?”

Suddenly, everyone looked at Alex in shock. It was as if they were looking at a fool.

With his cheek bone fractured and his face swollen like a pig, Evan still yelled unclearly. “Hey, kid. Didn’t my boss let you off the hook? Must you get yourself killed?”

“You can leave, but you must take a punch from me first, ” Alex said.

Scott turned around with an amused look on his face. Instead of looking at Alex, he looked at Sky. “Captain Melvin, you heard him. It’s not me who’s disrespecting you. He asked for it.

“Alright. I promise to take a punch from you. After one punch, you’ll deal with the consequences, dead or alive,” Scott added before Sky could nod.

Alex nodded without a pause.

Although Anna and Sky wanted to convince Alex otherwise, Alex cut them off. “I have already made up my mind,” Alex said.

Everyone watched as the two of them engaged in battle.

“Fine. I’ll be the judge!” Sky said loudly before taking his phone out to record the fight. “According to martial arts rules, this will be a battle for life or death. The winner will bear no responsibility, and if anyone dies, there is no grudge to be held. Begin!”

Sky shouted.

Then… Boom!

Alex and Scott threw a punch at the same time, and the collision of their fists caused a lightning like burst. The entire crowd went silent.

The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 373

Scott Pattingson was the top dog among the younger generation in the Pattingson family. He had the highest levels of natural talent and comprehension. Hence, the Pattingson family did their best to help him grow. Indeed, he was born a genius. At twenty-five years old, he had already achieved Intermediate-Mystic rank and reached the sixth stage with the family-inherited Golden Crushing Punch. With a single punch, he could even crush steel plates.

Right then, Scott used 100% of his inner force.

He wanted to kill Alex Rockefeller with a single punch so that those from the Yowell family and Divine Constabulary could see clearly that he was not one to be humiliated.

After letting out a wild roar, the inner force concentrated around his fist started to crackle.

Everyone’s hearts stopped briefly, frightened by the might of his punch. Even Anna Coleman had a fearful look in her eyes. She could imagine how terribly injured she would be if she was punched. That was if she even survived in the first place.

On the other hand, Alex’s punch was the Coleman family’s Dragon-Tusk Punch.

But it didn’t look quite like it either.

It was gentle and light, without any sound or gust of wind.

“Go to hell!” Scott shouted mercilessly.

Michelle Yowell screamed in fear. She turned around and didn’t dare to watch what happened next.

Boom!

Their fists collided against each other.

Then, the sound of bones cracking could be painfully heard, and one of them was sent flying. Instead of Alex, it was Scott who was sent flying.

Scott’s eyes were wide open in shock. He couldn’t believe that his fully charged Golden Crushing Punch couldn’t even make Alex move an inch when it hit him. It was as if Scott was hitting a hundred tons of steel.

Meanwhile, every inch of Scott’s bones was crushed instantly due to the reversed impact. It hurt him to the core of his heart.

Even more unbelievable was the fact that a stream of energy emitted from Alex’s fist. It thoroughly destroyed Scott’s nerves, veins and inner organs.

Now, Scott couldn’t feel anything in his body. He felt as if he had been struck by lightning.

This wasn’t the kind of electrifying jolt one felt when attracted to the opposite gender. Instead, it was the kind that went up to several tens of millions of high-voltage electricity.

It only took Scott one second to realize he was done for. His life had been taken away in an instant. Before he died, a realization occurred to him. Not only was Alex a martial arts expert, but he was also the true master of cultivation.

Although Scott felt endlessly remorseful, it was too late.

Bam!

Scott fell to the ground and was no longer breathing.

Everyone in the Yowell family looked as if they had just seen a ghost

Evan Laws covered his mouth. “How is this possible? How could this be?” he cried out pitifully.

Anna blinked her pretty eyes several times-she was thoroughly shocked.

Michelle even cried out loudly.

Sky Melvis was still recording a video of the battle. He walked over to look at Scott before shaking his head and sighing. “Scott Pattingson lost to a single punch and died on the spot. No grudges will be held in this fight!”

Sky had said ‘no grudges will be held’ twice.

This was the underlying rule of the martial arts world. In a battle that determined life or death, regardless of victory or defeat, friendly forces of either side were not allowed to exact revenge. Otherwise, they would be considered as the failures of the martial arts society and be ostracized.

Even Divine Constabulary agreed with this rule.

However…

Sky turned off the camera and pulled Alex aside before speaking in a soft voice. “Scott Pattingson is the strongest person in the younger generation of the Pattingson family. He’s also a leading member of the Pattingson family. Although he died in your hands in a fair fight, you must be careful when they secretly try to avenge him. I will use this footage to appropriately warn them against doing so,” Sky said.

“Thank you.” Alex nodded.

“We’re family, after all,” Sky chuckled and said.

“Are you really the Immortal Doctor?” Sky asked after a pause.

‘What?’

Alex was stunned. He started thinking to himself. Wallace Yoke really did not hold back from advertising Alex. Since Wallace couldn’t dominate America entirely, he used this poor strategy to slowly reveal Alex’s identity.

As one of the Twelve Battle Kings of Divine Constabulary, and one of their twelve sub-group’s leaders, Sky was willing to stand up and protect Alex with his life by going against the Pattingson family. Naturally, Sky had his reasons, Alex’s greatest value was that he was the Immortal Doctor.

Although Alex had already taken a guess at Sky’s thoughts, he didn’t think much of it.

The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 374

This was very normal. People would only help others if they were valuable. Otherwise, the helper would be considered a fool.

“I’m taking Michelle with me. I’ll help her recover to her formal state,” Alex Rockefeller said. He then picked Michelle Yowell up before turning around and leaving. Earlier, Alex saw how the Yowell family looked at him begrudgingly. This included Keith Yowell, who seemed to be regretting it already.”

The incident today only happened because Michelle asked him to help her out.

Alex didn’t do anything wrong to the Yowell family. In fact, he was the victim.

Thanks to this ordeal, he was able to see some things clearly on the fundamental level.

After Alex left, Sky Melvis also quickly made his exit. He also took Scott Pattingson’s corpse away with him.

Anna Coleman stayed to call the ambulance and deal with the aftermath.

Keith Yowell’s eyes seemed dull, and there was a blank expression on his face. “Anna, do you think I’m really getting old? Am I so old that I make such poor judgement?” he asked Anna.

Anna shook her head. “Grandpa Yowell, things have already happened. There’s no need to overthink.”

Keith sighed.

“Can Michelle’s damaged energy core really be fixed?” he asked.

“Other people might not be able to, but Alex can!” Anna said.

Keith felt even more remorseful after hearing that. He couldn’t afford to be a middleman!

Alex returned to Maple Villa.

He didn’t think that Waltz Fleur would be here too. Waltz was wearing a very sexy black pajama outfit while she watched the television on the couch in the living room.

Waltz noticed Alex carrying a pretty girl in his arms when he came back. Her face immediately turned dark and she jumped out of her seat. “Alex, did you drug this girl?”

“I didn’t drug her. She’s perfectly sober,” Alex said.

“Hey, isn’t this the little devil from the Yowell family? What’s going on? D*mn, why is she so badly injured? Who did it?” Waltz asked.

Back at the Rockefeller family’s funeral hall, Michelle was the one who had stepped forward to offer help. Naturally, Waltz recognized her.

“Get me some warm water. I’m going to adjust her bones back into place first,” Alex said.

After that, Alex became very occupied for a while.

A few days ago, he used Zharvakko to help James Coney connect his bones on the spot. His broken leg recovered in half an hour. However, it took far too much effort. This time, Alex was going to carry out the treatment over several stages. It felt much better doing so.

Two hours later, the treatment was complete. Alex moved Michelle onto a bed in the bedroom.

“Alex, what exactly happened?” Waltz asked curiously.

Alex told her what happened without hiding any information.

Waltz immediately let out a shocked cry. “Oh my god! Did you kill Scott Pattingson? The Pattingson family from North Tokyo won’t be easy to deal with. I’m afraid you’ve barked up the wrong tree. Things will get troublesome later.”

“Are you very familiar with the Pattingson family? How do they compare to your Thousand Miles Conglomerate?” Alex asked.

“It’s a difficult comparison. The Pattingson family has a martial arts background, and they prioritize martial arts cultivation. Meanwhile, Thousand Miles Conglomerate focuses on business. Martial arts only play a supporting role. People are right in saying that we operate in a grey area! If the Pattingson family wanted to mess with you, they would normally not use the business route. They would usually initiate a battle and bet on it!” Waltz explained.

Alex remained silent.

“However, if they are the backstabbing kind, and they hate you enough, they might privately hire someone to mess with you. That’s likely too.”

“I can help you with this, but my capabilities aren’t strong enough!”

“Alex, is there any way to rapidly enhance my capability? For example, we can double the number of lessons, or we can train together. What do you think?” Waltz asked.

Alex gave her a gentle knock on her forehead.

However, he soon came up with an idea. “If I increase Thousand Miles Conglomerate’s battle power by ten times, are you able to make California’s underworld a solid and profitable business?”

“Did you say ten times? Did I hear you mistakenly?” Waltz was shocked.

“Give me some time. I can help you become an Innate Grandmaster. I need a fail proof backup team! I must make sure nothing happens to my mother, my wife, you and Maya.”

Waltz let out a loud cry before jumping onto Alex. “Alex, I want to have your children.”

Alex tossed her onto the couch. “You should have children with an ape.”

Right then, Alex suddenly thought of a woman, Priscilla Paytas.

The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 375

Priscilla Paytas was the lady with the strongest innate bloodline Alex Rockefeller had ever met. In fact, Priscilla was even stronger than the girl who wore a sailor’s uniform, Holly Yates.

If Alex could make her his disciple and train her, she would definitely become a strong member on his team. Unfortunately, these were peaceful times, and Priscilla was a university student. It was a little difficult and disrespectful to make her his disciple and make her do his bidding. Alex could only indirectly guide her through Michelle Yowell.

He would leave everything to fate!

“Michelle’s energy core was destroyed, and she lost all her martial arts abilities. Can that even be fixed?” Waltz asked.

Alex nodded. “It can. I’ll just have to use a type of pill called Energy Recovery Pill. It will be able to heal her energy core and help her focus her inner force once again. The original cultivation method taught by her family had left her with some side effects. Now that her energy core is destroyed, those side effects are gone. Her condition will be even better after she recovers,” Alex explained.

After that, Alex let Waltz rest while he stood alone in a wrecked courtyard. He looked up at the sky.

There were stars all over the sky while the moon shone brightly. However, Alex had a feeling that things wouldn’t be calm for long.

The Rockefeller family, Japanese ninjas, the Pattingson family, and the hidden enemy his mother was deeply wary and wouldn’t even dare speak of were all messing up his life completely.

Ever since these people appeared, life had never been calm.

The only way to safeguard himself and protect his family in such a dangerous environment was to become stronger, to make his enemies tremble in fear, to stun the people of the world with his might.

Not only did he need his own capabilities, but he also needed strong forces around him.

On the second floor, Waltz stood still in front of the French window as she quietly looked down at Alex.

The next day, Alex didn’t go anywhere else. He stayed at home to focus on modifying Waltz’s martial arts technique.

Alex took a total of five hours to modify the Cuore Force she was currently practicing so that it greatly boosted her cultivation speed significantly. He also added new cultivation content to her technique.

Alex named the new technique Moon of the Nine Revolutions. With every revolution of the moon cycle, her powers would increase.

Alex also modified the content of Michelle’s new version of Slunce Jauda.

It didn’t sound like a huge feat, but Alex was a god-like existence. Other great masters would take a huge amount of time to create an entire set of techniques. How was Alex able to create one in just a few hours?

To be honest, it wasn’t surprising at all. It was a proof of his own success in cultivating the Force. Alex was able to pick and choose certain parts of his technique to blend it with their original Cuore Force techniques. It was like asking a professor who studied further mathematics, calculus, and limits to come up with a primary school mathematics quiz. Wasn’t it a piece of cake?

At night, Waltz returned home after work. She was surprised to find Alex cooking in the kitchen. When she smelled the food, her mouth immediately started to water and she began to feel hungry.

“Alex, you’re cooking!” Waltz exclaimed.

Wearing a dress, Waltz sneaked into the kitchen and reached for the food on the plate.

Wham!

Alex pushed her hand away.

“Have you washed your hands?” Alex asked.

“Wash them for me,” Waltz said.

“Use the utensils!”

Waltz still washed her hands before using the fork and spoon to taste the food. In the next moment, she immediately smiled. The food tasted extremely good. “It tastes delicious! I can’t believe you have such great culinary skills. You’re good enough to be a professional chef. You must have received proper training for this, haven’t you?”

Alex chuckled. “I learned how to cook when I was with the Assex family. My mother-in-law is a very picky eater. If I don’t make food good enough for her, she’d yell at me.”

In reality, Alex knew very well that Claire Assex just didn’t like him and intentionally picked on him.

Waltz was astonished.

The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 376

Suddenly, Waltz Fleur put her utensils down and hugged Alex Rockefeller from behind. “Alex, get a divorce! You and Dorothy are from two completely different worlds. Plus, your mother-in-law is a weirdo! You can have me as your second wife and Maya as your first wife. If it really comes to it, you can have Michelle as your third wife. You’ll be occupied enough.”

Alex laughed bitterly.

“I’ve completed the modification for your Cuore Force. It’s in your room. I named it Moon of the Nine Revolutions. You…” Before Alex could finish his sentence, Waltz had already let him go and ran off.

“Sh*t. What kind of wife is this? She’s an annoying girl!” Alex murmured before he continued cooking.

Very soon, Waltz ran out from her room and asked Alex all sorts of questions about cultivation.

Feeling annoyed, Alex pressed his palm against her back and started activating her cultivation pathway. The pathway began to form in the veins in her body.

“From now on, train like this. I can’t help you with the martial art technique. You’ll have to figure it out on your own. Also…” Alex said before taking a sheet of paper out from his pocket that had a list of herbs written on it, items needed to create pills for Waltz. “Here’s a list of all the herbs needed. If you can get them, try to do so. I’ll make pills for you to increase your capability. Feel free to discuss this matter with your godfather. Basically, you guys supply the ingredients, I’ll make the pills. Together, we’ll make Thousand Miles Conglomerate dominate California’s underworld on its own.”

Waltz nodded. “Okay. I’ll talk to my godfather about this.”

***

Another day passed in the blink of an eye. Early in the morning, Alex received a call from his mother, Brittany Rockefeller. She sounded so excited and loud that Alex thought he might turn deaf.

“Son, you’re awesome! ” She exclaimed.

“The Bounty Acne Cream recipe you modified for me yielded unusually good results. It’s three times more effective than the product we developed. Do you know what this means? This means it’s a product that can beat any brand of acne cream in the world. Also, is the other recipe you left behind a whitening recipe? It’s effectiveness is equally as shocking,” Brittany said.

Alex smiled slightly after listening to what she said.

There were countless other recipes like those in his mind. Those two were simply the two most common types. The more effective recipes would, however, require extremely precious spiritual herbs, and they were actually a part of medicinal alchemy.

Thus, a lot of those products couldn’t be mass-produced. Otherwise, the results would be even more effective.

“Mother, the main effect of that recipe isn’t whitening. It has anti-aging and anti-wrinkling properties. But whitening is a by-product,” Alex explained.

“What?” Brittany was shocked.

“It even has anti-aging and anti-wrinkling properties. No way! I’m going to carry out targeted experiments to produce accurate experimental data,” she added.

“Remember to keep the recipe a secret. ” Alex chuckled.

“I’m not dumb. Of course, I know what to do. Be careful in California. I heard there was an assasination attempt on Daya during a concert. It’s ridiculous. How could something like that happen?”

Alex rubbed his nose.

He wondered how his mother would react if she knew he was there when that incident happened.

Right after his call with Brittany ended, he received a call from Cheryl Coney.

“Alex, do you still remember the brain specialist from California Main Hospital, Andrew?” She asked.

Alex laughed. “That big nosed foreigner who says things that I can’t take seriously? Of course, I remember him.”

“He came to see me and said that he wants to receive treatment from you!”

“Oh? Well then, has he published the promised apology in the Swiss Medical Journal?”

“Why don’t you come and have a look? Although he hasn’t published it, he has invited a reporter from that publishing company. The reporter says that the apology will only be published after your traditional medicine has been proven effective.”

Alex raised his brows. “Okay. I’ll come over right away.”

When Alex arrived at California Main Hospital, Alex saw Beatrice Assex talking to a few of her classmates. As he passed them by, he listened to their conversation. In the end, he found out they were actually here to look for Mask. It seemed like both of Daya’s female bodyguards were hospitalized here.

“Beatrice, hurry up. Let’s find out if Mask, the man of your dreams is here. If we do get to see him, you’ll finally be able to drink and eat in peace, and be put out of your misery from missing him so much.”

Alex was dumbfounded when he heard this.

The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 377

“Is there something wrong with this woman’s brain? She actually has feelings for Mask! Good gosh!”

Alex Rockefeller felt as if he had been struck by lightning. Barring aside the fact that Beatrice Assex was Dorothy Assex’s younger sister, she was also his own sister-in-law. Over the past ten months, this woman had always been dissing him with her peculiar mannerism. She either called him out for being useless or a piece of trash.

Beatrice would probably have a meltdown if she found out that her crush, Mask, was actually Alex.

Alex shook his head. He decided to ignore her and continued walking further inside.

However, Beatrice actually noticed him.

She immediately ran over and grabbed him by his shirt. “Why are you here? What are you doing here?” she asked.

Alex looked at how strange she seemed. “I don’t think me being here has anything to do with you, does it?”

Alex calmly pushed her away.

“You b*stard. You might not realize it, but I know you must be here to see that female doctor! How could you be so shameless? My sister just changed her mind about you, and you’re already meeting other women behind her back. Can’t you behave more like a normal guy? You could get a job, or even make deliveries!” Beatrice said angrily.

Alex chuckled coldly. “Make deliveries? Do you think I need such small amounts of money? Did you even see me meeting another woman?”

Beatrice suddenly recalled that Alex just received twenty million dollars from Felix Shepherd. Now that Alex had the money, he naturally looked down on the money he would earn from making deliveries.

But this jerk was spending his money recklessly. He was seeing other women and he didn’t even give her mother a single cent.

“Also, please, wake up. It’s one thing to go after celebrities, but it’s another thing if you do it mindlessly. How could you fall in love with Mask? You barely know anything about him. Does he even know you? Does he know who you are? If you have so much energy, why don’t you pick up embroidery or culinary arts at home? You might end up getting married to a good person in the future,” Alex suddenly said.

Beatrice’s face turned red after hearing what Alex said.

This was her secret. She only told a few good friends about it when the incident happened. She didn’t even tell her mother or her sister. How did Alex find out?

In the next second, Beatrice went from being embarrassed to angry. “What does it have to do with you? Why do you care?”

“I can’t be bothered to care about you. Go after Mask all you want!” Alex said before leaving.

Beatrice was so angry that she stomped her foot on the ground.

Her friend, Mona Weiss, ran up to her. “Isn’t that your brother-in-law? Why does he look a little like Mask from the back?”

Beatrice was stunned. She looked over at Alex before pouting. “How so? Look at him. He walks like a dog.”

“Alright, alright. Let’s not care about your annoying brother-in-law. Hurry, let’s look for Mask. If we miss him, you’ll just end up crying again! ” Beatrice’s friend said.

Alex heard everything.

He wished he could run over to her and claw her eyes out. ‘Look clearly. I’m Mask, the man you dream about all day and night! Now stop dreaming. I’ll never like you!’

Very soon, Alex arrived at Cheryl Coney’s office.

In the room, apart from Cheryl and Andrew ‘the big nosed foreigner’ there was also a tall, foreign looking beauty with blonde hair and blue eyes wearing glasses. She was probably the reporter from the medical publishing company Cheryl had mentioned. There was also a middle-aged man. Alex had met this person before. He was Lucifer North, the director of First City Hospital.

When Alex arrived, Andrew immediately looked excited. “Oh, God! I finally get to see you again!” Andrew exclaimed.

He wanted to greet Alex with a warm hug, but Alex quickly pushed him away. “I’m not your God.”

Andrew didn’t feel awkward about it at all. Instead, he laughed. “Oh, right. I suddenly remembered. Very few people in America believe in the god we speak of. You believe in another god. Dear Alex, regardless of which god you believe in, you are like my god.”

Cheryl tried to hold in her laughter.

Lucifer found it hard to resist his giggle.

The blonde lady, on the other hand, looked Alex up and down before scoffing. “Andrew, you embarrass me. The god you spoke of is a woman. Do you think he’s a woman? Anyway, is he the miracle doctor you mentioned could revive the dead and let patients with broken legs walk again within half an hour? I really suspect that you might have Alzheimer’s disease.”

Alex glanced at the female reporter, and his gaze gradually turned cold.

The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 378

“Dear Alex, please don’t take it to heart. Her name is Miranda Finn. You can call her Little Finn. She’s the granddaughter of an old buddy of mine. Ever since she was a kid… Well, she’s been like a stray kitten…” Andrew quickly said.

Before Andrew could continue speaking, Miranda cut him off. “Andrew, you’re going to piss me off if you keep talking like this. Stop wasting my time. He’s so young, but you call him an amazing miracle doctor. You must have been fooled by him.”

Alex Rockefeller looked at Andrew calmly. “Does this mean you haven’ t convinced this woman yet?” he asked.

Andrew waved his hand. “Alex, she’s a very difficult woman to deal with. I really hope you can convince her.”

Miranda laughed out loudly. “Andrew, you must have been fooled by him. To be honest, I didn’t come to do an interview or anything like that. I just wanted to see what kind of person fooled you. Oh, I’ve learned something new today… Traditional medicine? Hmph. Is that even considered medical knowledge? It’s practically witchcraft, something handed down by American tribes with superstitions and myths involved. Andrew, you should really look for a proper children’s mythical storybook from America. Otherwise, it’d be way too embarrassing.”

Cheryl Coney and Lucifer North were both very upset with Miranda. However, she was a foreign female reporter. They couldn’t get angry and yell at her in her face.

Right then, Alex walked over to Miranda.

She was shocked. “What are you going to do to me? I’m telling you, I’m a karate expert.”

Alex looked at her blue eyes that looked like they belonged to a feral cat. This was the first time he held his gaze with a Persian at such a close distance.

“Do you not believe in traditional medicine? Do you think it’s all superstition and myths?” Alex asked calmly.

“Of course,” Miranda said.

“Well then, I’ll show you what myths in America really look like.”

He gently lifted a finger and tapped Miranda below her neck

In the next second, she started screaming out loud. “Oh, oh my god! Oh lord! Why can’t I move? Have I been paralyzed? What did you do to me? Oh! Oh my god! I don’t want to be paralyzed!”

Everyone else was also shocked, including Cheryl.

In traditional medicine, there wasn’t any kind of acupunctural method that could instantly freeze one’s limbs in place. Even the theory of hitting a person’s pressure point as described in martial arts novels wasn’t practical in traditional medicine.

Miranda was crying loudly with a frightened expression.

“Didn’t you say traditional medicine is just witchcraft and myths? I’m showing you what traditional medicine is right now,” Alex said.

“This isn’t traditional medicine. This is… Martial arts. That’s right. You people call it ‘hitting a pressure point’, don’t you? It’s described like that in Condor Heroes,” Miranda said.

Alex couldn’t believe that she’d actually seen this before.

Alex shook his head. “This is traditional medicine.”

Miranda still didn’t believe him and continued to shout.

Annoyed by her, Alex tapped her again. Now, Miranda couldn’t even speak. She could only open her mouth without making any sounds. Her eyeballs rolled around from left to right. She tried her best to give Andrew looks, and it made her seem very odd.

Alex ignored her and turned to look at Andrew. “Looks like your promise is going to fall through. She doesn’t believe in it at all.”

“No, no. It’s fine. Even without Little Finn, I can still come up with the article myself and publish it on the paper. I came to you for a treatment so that I could personally experience the healing effects of traditional medicine. That way, my writing would be even more persuasive. I want the entire world to know that traditional medicine is awesome!” Andrew exclaimed.

Alex chuckled. “Okay. I will give you a treatment now. I’ll be able to cure you of pancreatitis within half an hour.”

“What? Half an hour? Oh my god! Alex, you really are my Goddess of Mercy!” Andrew exclaimed.

Miranda, on the other hand, smirked.

Could Alex really cure Andrew of pancreatitis within half an hour? It was the biggest joke she had ever heard. If Alex could really do it, Miranda swore she would address him as her father.

Unfortunately, she couldn’t speak now

The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 379

Alex Rockefeller thought about it for a while.

The most ideal way to cure this big nosed foreigner of his pancreatitis was to use an electrified needle with the lightning attribute. In fact, using one’s finger was the fastest and easiest way.

However, most commoners couldn’t accept being treated with finger poking methods.

Without using a silver needle to carry out acupuncture, it would appear too illogical. Most people wouldn’t be able to understand it. Hence, Alex turned to look at Cheryl Coney. “Do you have a silver needle? Can I borrow it?”

Cheryl was a doctor who practiced a fusion of traditional and modern medicine. Acupuncture was one of her strengths. So she definitely had silver needles in her drawer. She immediately took a brand-new pack of silver needles out. “I thought you didn’t use silver needles,” she said.

Alex sighed. “I’m worried these foreigners can’t understand the treatment otherwise.”

Cheryl chuckled softly. “Do you think they would understand it just because you use silver needles?”

She was right, but Alex still decided to use silver needles. In fact, he used a seemingly miraculous technique that included throwing needles into the air.

“Oh, no, no, no! Oh my god. Dear Alex, do you think I’m a dartboard?” Andrew immediately cried out in shock after pulling his shirt up.

However, it was already too late. Alex moved way too fast. With a flick of his finger, a silver needle jabbed into Andrew’s pressure point. Only a short part of the needle was still sticking out and visibly shaking.

“Stop making noise. It doesn’t even hurt!” Alex glared at Andrew.

Right then, Cheryl’s and Lucifer North’s eyes widened in disbelief.

Some nurses were a little rough when injecting needles via patients’ buttocks, that was still understandable. However, it was simply outrageous to have the silver needles thrown around like this.

Silver needles were extremely fine.

Moreover, acupuncture requires precision in identifying acupuncture points, which was definitely not something ordinary people could do.

Miranda Finn, who could only move the parts of her body above her neck, felt as if her cat-like eyes were going to fall out.

Right then, another lady walked through the door. She was wearing a face mask. If she was a paparazzi, the people in the room would have been able to acutely sense it. However, she was instead the megastar who had nearly been assassinated earlier, Daya!

As soon as Daya walked in, she saw Miranda in an odd pose with a weird look on her face. “Miranda, what’s wrong with you?” she asked.

It turned out that Daya and Miranda were friends. Lucifer shushed at Daya, asking her to be quiet. Daya was stunned.

Right then, Alex threw out three more needles that accurately thrusted into the pressure points around Andrew’s stomach. Now, Andrew was left with only curiosity. Just as Alex said, the long needles that pierced through his skin didn’t actually hurt. Andrew only felt a slight numbing and itchy sensation.

It was all a little too unbelievable.

Andrew stared at his stomach as he deeply immersed himself in this unusual treatment process.

Daya could also finally see Alex’s face clearly. “Alex Rockefeller, it’s you…” she said in a surprised tone.

Lucifer gestured for Daya not to make any sound once again. Only then did she sheepishly press her palms together. After that, she looked at Alex’s face without blinking. One couldn’t quite tell what emotion she was expressing as her face was covered by a mask.

But Alex didn’t even look at her once. Right then, he seemed extremely focused.

He was holding the fifth needle, and it was also the final needle he would use during this treatment.

“Andrew!” Alex suddenly said.

“The condition of your pancreatitis is already quite serious. There are signs of calcification and cysts. This final needle I’m going to use will be a little painful. If you’re afraid of the pain, I could hit you until you pass out. Oh, no. I mean I could use anesthesia on you.” Alex explained.

“No, dear Alex. I don’t want anesthesia. I want to experience this unusual treatment in the most original way. Did you know that my primary doctor recommended surgery for me? But that was too terrifying because the success rate was only thirty percent, and I would probably never wake up from the operating table. Don’t worry. I’m a strong man who’s not afraid of pain,” Andrew quickly said.

“As you wish!” Alex exclaimed.

Alex had a calm look on his face. Suddenly, the silver needle in his hand started to vibrate on its own. There were even tiny electric sparks on the tip of the needle. In the next moment, the silver needle broke away from Alex’s fingers and actually levitated in the air. The electric sparks on it became even brighter.

“Oh…”

“Oh my god!”

“What is this? Is this a special power?”

Andrew started shouting. His face was full of excitement, and he couldn’t take his eyes off the silver needle.

The rest of the group did the same.

Alex controlled the silver needle with Chi such that it continued to float in the air. He gently glanced at Miranda. From her expression, he could tell that she was shocked. It seemed as if she had witnessed a miracle. On the other hand, Daya seemed relatively calm. Since she was from Michigan’s Stoermer family, she had encountered quite a few strange people in her life. Her father was a martial arts expert as well. She knew that once someone achieved the level of cultivation where their inner force could be used externally, manipulating light objects like a silver needle was not that difficult.

The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 380

However, Zend aya couldn’t quite understand why there were sizzling lightning flashes.

“This is a Chi needle we use in traditional medicine. It is created by imbuing needles with Chi energy. You can think of the lightning sparks as bio-electricity,” Alex Rockefeller said calmly.

The silver needle slowly advanced. When it was five centimeters away from the rest of the silver needles, the electric spark on it spread to the other four needles, and they all started emitting electric sparks.

Crackle!

“Ah! oh!”

Andrew cried out. It was unbearably painful.

To be honest, it wasn’t too different from a typical surgery. This treatment also involved removing the calcified parts of his pancreas and the cysts around it. The only difference was that Western doctors would do it with a scalpel, while Alex did it with electrified Chi needles.

Wham!

Alex slapped Andrew so hard that he passed out.

The next part would be easy.

As everyone watched in amazement, the silver needles on Andrew’s body began to emit a pungent and unpleasant green smoke.

“It stinks!” Cheryl Coney covered her nose as she took a step back. “It smells like barbecued meat.”

Alex seemed very relaxed. “Indeed, the festering parts of his pancreas have been directly roasted and sucked out by the lightning sparks from the silver needles. It does smell a bit like barbecued meat, albeit the stinky kind. Oh, right. How’s the old man doing now?”

“He’s much better. He’s been asking if you would come over to our place for dinner. Are you free tonight?” Cheryl asked with a smile.

Alex shook his head. “Not tonight. I’ve got an appointment already.”

Cheryl’s eyes turned dark. She thought he was talking about Dorothy Assex.

In reality, that wasn’t the case.

Instead, Alex had an appointment with Jack Trent and Leanne Graves to attend their company’s awards ceremony. He would use this opportunity to track down the person who gave Leanne her parasitic disease. Originally, it was supposed to be last night. But since some people couldn’t make it in time, and many of the employees from Leanne’s company were still out, they decided to wait another day.

Within half an hour, the treatment came to an end.

After the silver needles were removed, Andrew woke up yelling. “What happened to me?”

Alex tossed the silver needles away. “You’re fine now. You can get a checkup.”

“Really? Is that true? Oh… I really don’t seem to be in pain anymore. In fact, I’ve never felt this relaxed. It’s almost as if I’ve gone back to the condition I was in twenty years ago. I can drink rum again,” Andrew said before giving Alex a tight hug.

After that, he went to get a checkup.

Alex then restored Miranda Finn’s freedom. “Now, do you still think traditional medicine is superstitious?” he asked.

Daya could guess what had transpired between these two. “Miranda, Alex is my friend. He’s a very amazing practitioner of traditional medicine, and he fixed my knee,” she said.

“Oh?!” Miranda exclaimed. “I can talk again. The paralysis is gone. My dear Daya, he’s actually your friend, eh? It’s really… it’s amazing! I’ve decided to do a feature on you, Daddy!”

“What did you call me?” Alex asked.

“Oh, well, I swore that if you managed to cure that alcoholic, Andrew of his illness within half an hour, I’d call you Daddy. Well, as you can see, you won!” Miranda explained.

Alex started laughing. Things had turned out well in the end.

“Alex, I have to thank you for what you did last time. Can we have a meal together?” Daya asked. Miranda nodded along. “I can interview you during the meal,” she said.

Alex checked the time. “Alright. Cheryl, are you getting off work yet? Let’s go together!”

“I’ll need another ten minutes. Why don’t you guys go ahead first?” Cheryl said.

“Sure!”

They made a reservation.

Alex and Daya went over to order their food first. Since Miranda had something else to attend to, she would head over with Cheryl later.

Soon, Daya got into Alex’s Aston Martin.

At that moment, Beatrice Assex and her friends, who hadn’t seen Mask, were also at the hospital’s parking lot. They suddenly saw Alex with Daya.

“Look, it’s Daya!”

“Who’s that guy? Is that Mask? Oh my god! Beatrice, that’s your brother-in-law!”
