Ch. 421..430

The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 421

Alex took a glance at Emma and thought, ‘What a coincidence.’

He walked to the sofa with Dorothy in hand and wiped the sofa slowly with some tissue before turning to her. “Come sit here, wifey. Mr. Hawk is still having a meeting now. We’ll just wait here till he’s done, then we’ll be able to sign the contract.”

Dorothy nodded and sat on the sofa politely.

Alex took a bottle of water out of his bag and opened the cap before handing it to her. The two acted as if no one was around, as if Emma and Ethan were nothing but thin air.

Emma couldn’t hold back her anger any longer. She stood tip and approached the two. “Dorothy, I asked you a question. Are you deaf? What contract are you here for? Who even told you to come here to sign a contract?”

Dorothy took a few sips of water and handed the bottle to Alex. “Do you want some too?”

“Sure!” Alex placed his lips where Dorothy’s lips were on the bottle and drank some water as well.

Emma was enraged. She felt like something was going horribly wrong.

Assex Constructions had been trying to get their hands on the project with South Cali Structure for the longest time. Their only rival at the time was Stoneworks, but Dorothy had to show tip out of nowhere just when they were going to sign the contract.

This was just nerve wracking.

“Hey, don’t you dare be so ftill of yourself, Dorothy. Do you know where we are right now?” Emma yelled.

Dorothy took a glance at Emma. “I don’t think the contract we’re signing has anything to do with you, Emma.”

Emma chuckled coldly. “Really now? I’d like to say otherwise. Do you know who this handsome young man is?”

She pointed at Ethan.

Ethan, on the other hand, had had his eyes fixated on Dorothy. Compared to Emma, Dorothy was so much more gorgeous. Due to his status, Ethan had seen many women in his life, yet Dorothy was so ethereal that he couldn’t believe his eyes.

However, this beauty was already married.

Looking at Alex, Ethan felt that he could win him in any aspect easily. Alex was just a pile of sh*t planted next to the flower, Dorothy.

“Who is that? Your boyfriend?” Dorothy said calmly.

Emma stuck her nose up in the air. “Bingo, he is my boyfriend, Ethan Hawk! Do you know who he is?”

Dorothy replied, “Oh? He has the same last name. Don’t tell me he’s Mr. Hawk’s son?”

Emma looked extremely smug. “That’s right, he is Mr. Hawk’s sort. Ethan is the young heir to South Cali Structures! I’ll tell you what, Dorothy. No matter what contract you’re signing today, I won’t let you.”

Dorothy acted surprised. “What? You hooked up with the young heir of South Cali Structures? Damn, you’ve got an upgrade? So you’re saying that you’ve settled a contract with South Cali Structures?”

“Exactly, so you do know your place. Why don’t you just get lost, then? Do you really want to embarrass yourself?”

“We’re here to sign a contract. Of course we’ll leave after we do so.” Dorothy remained calm.

“What contract? I told you that this is my boyfriend’s company. No matter what contract it is, it’s invalid!”

Emma said as she clung to Ethan. “Baby, throw them out please! I’m annoyed just by looking at their faces!”

She said ‘baby’ so nasally that Alex couldn’t help but feel the hair on his skin stand up.

‘What skill!’

Although Ethan didn’t want to throw Dorothy out due to her looks, Emma had already made such a request. Since he had just hooked tip with her, he had to take action. “Just go, South Cali Structures would not be working with you. Any contracts will be invalid from now on.”

However, Alex and Dorothy knew about his identity long before they had arrived at the office.

The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 422

The two remained seated, ignoring every word Ethan said.

Ethan furrowed his eyebrows and his expression turned cold. “Hey, you two. I’m asking nicely for you to leave. I said that South Cali Structures would no longer be working with you.”

Emma smiled brightly, still acting as cocky as ever. “Did you hear that? Why are you still here? Are you really that shameless? Oh, right, I heard you guys changed the company name to something like Dorothy-Alex Constructions and don’t have any working capital, so that means you’d go bankrupt if you don’t earn some money! Hey loser, Rockefeller. You should break it off with her while you still can. Why don’t you work as my slave? I might pity you if I’m in a good mood!”

Alex replied calmly, “I think it’s still a little early to say who will be pitied in the end.”

He then turned to Ethan. “Ethan Hawks, right? You’re not in charge of South Cali Structures just yet. Let’s wait till your father arrives. Only he has a say in this.”

Ethan was enraged. “How dare you speak to me like that? If you insist on staying, I’ll have the guards throw the both of you out.”

After that, he called for the security team and at least six guards rushed over to the waiting room.

The team leader immediately greeted Ethan respectfully. “Young master Hawks, what do you need? Your wish is our command!”

Ethan pointed towards Alex. “Throw this punk out.”

Pointing to Dorothy next, he said, “Escort this lady out as well.”

He still knew how to be a gentleman towards women at times like this. Hence, he gave separate orders to the guards for the two.

The guards responded enthusiastically and were ready to throw the couple out.

“Stop!” Suddenly, someone shouted at them.

It was a middle-aged man who seemed quite stern. He was striding towards them. Following behind him was a woman who was wearing a standard uniform looking like a professional.

Upon their arrival, the guards became frightened. They stopped what they were doing and bowed respectfully. “CEO Hawks!”

This man was the CEO of South Cali Structures, Thomas Hawk.

Ethan went up to him and said, “Dad, your meeting ended?”

Thomas narrowed his eyes. “What are you doing here?”

Ethan replied, “Dad, let me introduce you to someone. This is Emma Assex, my girlfriend, the one I’ve mentioned to you before. She’s from Assex Constructions. Didn’t we have a project that required a supplier? Let’s sign the contract with Assex Constructions and work together as a family!”

Emma approached Thomas and greeted him with a soft smile and elegant behavior. “Hello, Mr. Hawks, I’m Emma. I didn’t expect you to look so young! I would’ve thought you were Ethan’s brother if I didn’t know better!”

She was trying her best to get on his good side as her smile grew brighter and sweeter.

However, Thomas remained expressionless towards her. “Really?”

Emma’s abilities were limited, she couldn’t read the room at all. She couldn’t even tell that Thomas was bothered. She continued smiling sweetly. “Yes! You look so young and handsome. If we were to walk next to each other, people might think we’re a couple!”

Alex couldn’t help but let out a chuckle.

Thomas looked extremely upset. He shot a dirty glare at Ethan.

‘How could you be into such morons? Are you blind?’

He suppressed his anger and ignored her, turning towards Alex and Dorothy instead. “You’re Mr. and Mrs. Rockefeller from Dorothy-Alex Constructions?”

Alex nodded. “I’m Alex Rockefeller and this is my wife, Dorothy Assex.”

Thomas smiled. “Sorry for being late, my meeting was slightly delayed. Come, let’s go into my office. I’ve prepared the contract.”

The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 423

Emma’s eyes widened in disbelief as she watched Alex and Dorothy walk into Thomas’ office. She immediately turned to Ethan. “Baby, what’s happening? What contract is your father signing with Dorothy?”

Ethan shook his head. “I’m not sure too. I’m not that familiar with how things work in my dad’s company.”

Emma huffed frustratedly. “Dorothy’s damn company used to be one of our subsidiary companies. They’re this close to going bankrupt. If your dad does work with such a small company, he’d run into a lot of problems during the process. You have to convince your dad, or else it’d be too late!”

“Uhm… Yeah, I know, I know.” Ethan dismissed her remarks, clearly bothered by his father’s expression earlier. He could tell something was amiss.

Alex and Dorothy left the CEO’s office after just ten minutes. The contract had been signed successfully. Before they came, Charles had already discussed with Thomas about the details of the contract. They had even settled the terms and conditions beforehand and Thomas had no objections at all.

Firstly, with Alex’s title as a miracle doctor and his connections with the Yowells, the Summers and Thousand Miles Conglomerate, Thomas knew just how important he was in California.

Secondly, Charles was one of the biggest shareholders of South Cali Structures. So if Charles wanted to have a say in a contract supposedly so minor, it had to be a big deal.

“You came out this quickly? You were thrown out right?”

Emma noticed that Alex and Dorothy had come out of the office in just ten minutes and started cackling.

‘How could they sign a contract in just ten minutes? Even if they did, it must be insignificant. But how could Thomas Hawk sign some insignificant contract? He’s the CEO of the company!’

Alex and Dorothy’s silence only made Emma cockier. “So how was it? Well, I told you so, you’re just embarrassing yourselves. Why would South Cali Structures work with your small *ss company? Dorothy, you should just hire a moving company now so that you could get out of our villa… Oh, I forgot to tell you, Grandma has already given me the villa you’re living in. Don’t you dare step foot in my house from now on.”

Dorothy turned to look at Emma, her eyes were filled with sympathy.

She wanted to speak up, but she decided not to. All she did was walk out of the office while holding Alex’s hands.

Emma huffed and turned to demand with Ethan. “Baby, now that your father is free, let’s go in!”

“Alright!” Ethan held Emma’s hand and walked towards the CEO’s office.

However, he didn’t expect to be blocked by the secretary. “Sorry, Young Master Ethan. You can’t enter without the CEO’s permission.”

Ethan’s expression darkened. “Secretary Jodie, why would I need permission to see my dad? Have you gone mental?”

Just then, Thomas’ voice came from the office. “Let him in, but have Miss Assex leave.”

Jodie nodded lightly and let Ethan in, but blocked Emma out. “Miss Assex, you may leave now.”

“What? Why can’t I go in? I’m here to sign a contract! I’m your young master’s girlfriend!” Emma yelled, clearly enraged.

Jodie shook her head. “Miss Assex, you must be mistaken, we don’t have any contracts to sign with you.”

Emma started panicking. “Why not? I’m Emma Assex from Assex Constructions. Do you not know the contract for being the supplier for the Five Rings Project? Your young master had promised me that we would sign it today! How could you not let me in? Do you want to get fired?”

Jodie glared at her coldly. “Sorry, we had signed this contract a while ago with another company, not Assex Constructions.”

“What? If not us, then who signed the contract? Stoneworks?”

“Dorothy-Alex Constructions.”

“What? Them? No way, there’s just no way! You must be mistaken!”

“Please leave, Miss Assex.”

Emma started yelling. “No! That’s impossible! How could you sign it with that b*tch’s company? Her sh*tty company could never handle such a big project! You guys must have been scammed! I want to see Mr. Hawk, I want to see Ethan! Let me in!”

The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 424

As the yelling continued, Ethan walked out of the office. Emma rushed over to him. “Baby, this woman said that Dorothy-Alex Constructions had signed the contract for the Five Rings Project. Is that true? Please tell your dad that he shouldn’t! Only Assex Constructions could sign this contract. Didn’t you promise me that? Go, just go in and tell…”

Ethan interrupted her. “Emma, please leave. Let’s not see each other ever again.”

Emma froze. “What? What did you just say, Ethan?”

Ethan turned to the guards. “If she won’t leave, make her.”

“Yes, master!”

Emma finally realized that he had broken up with her. She was infuriated. “Ethan Hawk, you jerk! Don’t you remember what you promised me in bed last night? You bastard! How could you break your promises? You’re inhumane, go rot in hell!”

Suddenly, a guard slapped her hard across the face. “How dare you insult our young master? Do you have a death wish?”

“Throw her out now!”

Ten minutes later, at Assex Manor.

The old lady was in a very good mood. She was able to take back the villa that Claire was living in and was under the impression that they had been able to successfully sign a contract with South Cali Constructions.

Once the contract is signed, they would be able to decrease the damage from the fallout with Waylon Realty. They might be able to expand their business too. Besides, they had just received a sales permit for another new type of construction material. So, they would still earn lots without Thousand Leaves.

Just then, Emma called to give her the bad news.

“Grandma, I couldn’t sign the Five Ring Project contract.”

“What?”

The old lady was feeding her bird and lost grip of the bird cage upon hearing Emma’s words.

“What happened? Why couldn’t you sign it? Wasn’t it set in stone?”

“That b*tch Dorothy signed it before I could.”

The old lady screamed and fainted from shock.

At the same time, Alex was driving Dorothy in her BMW M8 back to her office.

He then went to the Assex Villa to get Beatrice and Claire and headed toward a realty center that sold villas in a specific area.

Claire had been up all night finding a nice area to live in. She finally found one, Senna Port in City West of California. Next to the area was a famous five-star forest garden, Floresta. As such, the favourable area had a fairly quiet environment.

Claire’s eyes were red due to the lack of sleep. Despite this, she was extremely energetic. She just wanted to head to the realty center of Senna Port immediately. Claire’s eyes glistened with excitement as she looked at the villa models. Beatrice was very fond of the designs as well. They went back to the main hall to see which villa they liked best.

Suddenly, a voice called out to them. “Hey, is that you, Claire Assex? So you’re here with your son-in-law to look at the villa models? Can your son-in-law really buy such a big villa?”

It was Claire’s old neighbour, the busybody whom she encountered at the bank when she was depositing the cheque.

Next to her old neighbour was a young couple. The man was obviously her son-in-law.

The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 425

Claire hated this family.

She hated the woman, Madam White, especially, as she would always boast about her son-in-law to the point that it was getting very annoying.

Claire clicked her tongue out of frustration. “What are you guys doing here?”

Madam White chuckled. “I’m here to look for a nice place to buy, what else? Oh, did you think I’m here just to window shop like you?”

Beatrice huffed. “How would you know if we can afford a villa or not?”

Madam White laughed louder. “Of course I do, we’re neighbours after all! How would I not know? I heard that your villa will be taken away by the Assexes, which is probably why you need a new place soon! But do you guys know that villas in Senna Port cost more than ten million? Not just anyone could buy a villa in this area, you know? There’s no way you could use a twenty million dollar fake cheque here.”

Madam White’ son-in-law asked, “Twenty million dollar fake cheque?”

She cackled and pointed to Alex. “That’s Claire’s son-in-law. He had given his mother-in-law a fake cheque a while ago. And boy, let me tell you, when she brought it to the bank, they told her that it was a fake! God, my stomach hurt from all that laughing!”

Alex said calmly, “Then you should calm down. Your old *ss is suffering from both diabetes and high blood pressure. Don’t die from laughing too hard.”

Madam White’ daughter yelled. “How dare you speak like that to my mom?”

Alex replied, “I’m just stating facts.”

Alex decided to not waste any more energy on this family. He turned to the saleswoman that had been following them as they browsed. “Show us to the villas for sale.”

“Hold on!”

Madam White approached the saleswoman. Young lady, if you want to earn some commission, it’s best that you assist someone else. There’s no way that they could afford the villas here. Why don’t you assist us? You can give us a brief introduction to the villas here, we might be buying one today.”

Claire’s voice was cold. “You? Do you even have the money?”

Madam White replied, “Why wouldn’t I? I might not have the money, but my son-in-law does, unlike someone else I know. I heard that he hasn’t earned a penny for the past year, right? And didn’t he even have to kneel before his mother-in-law to get a meal? Oh, and wasn’t he struggling to pay property costs just the other day? Hah, yet you’re still here to window shop. Dream on!”

She turned to the saleswoman again. “Come!”

The saleswoman glared at Alex and the others with disgust before rushing towards the other family without a word.

Claire was so angry that she started stomping the ground. Alex couldn’t help btit laugh. “Why are you mad at a diabetic patient?”

Beatrice asked, “She called you a loser, that you relied on women. Aren’t you mad?”

Alex shook his head. “She’s nothing more than an insignificant pest to me. Why would I be mad?”

“Then does that mean you think I’m an insignificant pest too? You never defended yourself when I yelled at you.”

Alex decided not to lie. “If you weren’t Dorothy’s sister, you’d be even more insignificant than a pest.”

Beatrice was about to explode. Shooting him a dirty glare, she decided that she would empty out his wallet later.

Alex, on the other hand, called for another saleswoman. There were many of them working in the center after all. However, when one of them came over, Alex froze.

‘I know her.’

“Priscilla Paytas? Why are you working here as… A saleswoman?” Beatrice asked, obviously surprised.

They were studying in the same university after all. With their titles as one of the most beautiful girls in the university and a member of Devil Coven, they were quite popular on campus. Hence, the two were well-acquainted with each other.

Priscilla was wearing a standard uniform, seemingly more mature than usual. Due to her doll-like face, this was a fresh new look for her.

“Brother Alex, Beatrice, what a coincidence! I decided to work here part-time during the holidays.” Priscilla decided to greet Alex before greeting Beatrice. Michelle had mentioned a lot of things about Alex in the past. So, she knew what her blood was used for as well.

After a brief explanation, they understood her reason for working there.

Priscilla came from an average family. One of her cousins worked in the realty company and suggested that she worked there part-time. If she were to sell a villa successfully, she’d be able to earn quite an amount of commission.

“Are you here to buy a property? The villas here are very expensive, you know.” Priscilla smiled as she stuck her tongue out cheekily.

“Let’s take a look at those villas!” Claire pointed towards one of the models that seemed to be placed near a river.

“Alright!”

The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 426

Priscilla led them to the models.

Madam White was secretly observing them from the other side. She said mockingly, “Young lady, your colleague over there is going to be doing charity work How could that family ever buy a property? l’m their neighbour, so I know them well. They’re just bluffing so they could seem richer than they really are.”

The saleswoman nodded and smiled. “It doesn’t matter, she’s a part-timer anyway! So, Madam White, have you decided on any of the villas here? Would you like me to bring you to the actual site?”

“Yes, let’s go!”

After looking around the area, the family of three came back to the main hall. Madam White was very excited, she was fond of every single villa in this area.

The saleswoman seemed to be excited too. She thought, ‘Thank god I ditched that poor family for these people. Looks like I might actually sell one villa today.’

With this thought in mind, she enthusiastically gave them a few suggestions.

However, Madam White’ son-in- law replied, “We’ve seen the villas, I think they’re generally pretty okay. But we still have to look at other areas, so we can compare and discuss on which to get.”

Madam White panicked. “What’s more to discuss? I think Villa 12 is nice, I like it.”

Her daughter replied, “Mom, what are you rushing for? Even if we wanted to buy it, we’d have to at least sell our old house. We can’t buy it now, where would we even get the money?”

Madam White was shocked. “What? Sell the old house? Didn’t you say your husband was buying it for us?”

“How would my husband have this much money?”

Upon hearing this, the saleswoman’s face turned green. ‘You f*ckers, you were just bluffing all this while!’

Just then, loud clapping and light music chimed from the other side of the hall. The saleswoman knew that one of the villas had been sold.

She turned around and was appalled. She realized that Alex’s family was the one being surrounded by a crowd.

‘They bought a villa already?’

Madam White and her family stared in disbelief as well. She rushed over immediately. “Claire Assex, you actually bought a property? You bought a villa in this area? Where did you get that much money?”

Claire htiffed. “My son-in- law bought it for me. That cheque wasn’t fake, I just accidentally crumpled it last time! Oh, has your family bought one? The villa next to mine seems pretty nice, Villa 12 was it? You should get your hands on it now, before it’s too late.”

Madam White’ face went pale. “Villa 12… Uhm… I don’t like it as much. We’ll just take a look at the others.”

They then left the hall in a hurry as the saleswoman glared at them as she started to regret her actions immensely.

The Villa that Alex bought was Villa 10, valued at nearly twenty million.

It had an indoor pool and patio built in both the front and back. A beautiful garden was built on top of the balcony as well. It was truly a luxurious design. It was already built so that tenants could move in immediately.

‘Villa 10 is one of the three best villas in Senna Port!’

The saleswoman knew that she would be able to earn two percent of commission of four hundred thousand dollars if she were to sell a villa.

‘Oh lord! I lost four hundred thousand because of my foolishness.’

“Congratulations, Brother Alex! You’re the owner of this property now!” Priscilla smiled brightly. “Give me your identity card and I’ll register it for you. Also, since you paid the full amount to buy this, you’d receive lots of gifts too! They will be sent to your villa shortly.”

Alex took out a copy of Dorothy’s identity card. “Use my wife’s instead, register it under her name.”

Claire was satisfied with this reply, smiling as she stared at Alex. This was probably the first time she had ever smiled at Alex in the past year.

After that, they headed straight to Villa 10. Beatrice took out her phone to take some pictures so that she could send it to her sister. However, a notification popped up on her screen. It was from the Daya fan group.

Daya had spent two hours in a hotel with a mysterious man, pictures were included in the article too. She looked at the photo and her eyes widened in disbelief.

‘The mysterious man was Alex!’

The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 427

Beatrice could feel her ears ringing, it was as if her brain had malfunctioned. Her favourite idol, the one and only Daya, had done that with her brother-in-law. She couldn’t believe it at all.

“How could this be?’

‘How?’

She looked tip to look for Alex and noticed that he was looking at the river from the balcony. He wasn’t moving a muscle, it was hard to tell what he was thinking about.

She just couldn’t resist herself and rushed over. “What’s tip with this? Explain this to me!” Beatrice’s face was twisted as she showed the news article on her phone to Alex.

“What’s up with what?” Alex took a glance at her and furrowed his eyebrows. He then took her phone to read the news article.

He couldn’t believe what he was reading, it was just too ridiculous.

The photo was from last night, a photo of him leaving The Hilton with Daya. However, the article was completely false, everything was made up. They claimed that their fingers were intertwined, looking into each other’s eyes lovingly. They went as far as to say that passion was plastered all over their faces when they left the hotel room.

Alex was extremely enraged.

He’s just an average person so he wouldn’t be bothered so much by it. Daya, however, was a famous superstar. Many of her fans would follow any type of news about her. If there were any scandals, her whole career could potentially be ruined.

Back then, a beautiful female star in Hong Kong was one of the most talented artists in her generation. Yet her life went to shambles when she was caught tip in a scandal.

“F*ckersl” He huffed.

Beatrice thought he was angry that he was exposed. She snatched her phone and said with hostility, “Rockefeller, how could you treat my sister like this? How dare you do such a thing? Are you a monster? Do you think we’ll forgive you just because you bought us a villa?”

Alex’s eyes were stern as he turned to look at Beatrice. “We have a brain for a reason, use it.”

“What do you mean by that?”

“And you call yourself a Daya fan. How could you believe rumors some stupid paparazzi made up? No wonder people call you hardcore fans toxic. You’re so easily convinced.”

“Then how do you explain the pictures? Is it not you?”

“Nope, it’s me.”

“So you’re admitting to it?”

“What did I even admit to? Please, you’re not just a mindless follower right? Make use of your brain for once. There’s nothing between me and Daya. I had to meet up with a friend last night, Daya was their friend too, so she came along. That’s it, it’s up to you to believe me or not.”

Just then, Alex’s phone chimed.

It was a call from Daya.

He picked it up and said, “Hello?”

Daya’s voice came from the other end of the line. “Mr. Rockefeller, did you see the news article about us? I’m terribly sorry, I didn’t think you’d be involved in such a scandal. Ugh, I hate people who write such articles to spread rumors.”

After their souls resonated back in the car, Alex realized that he felt something towards Daya.

‘Is it affection?’

He had no clue, but it felt like a curse. He had dreamt about Daya every single night.

“Don’t feel sorry, we’re both innocent anyway. But you’re a public figure, wouldn’t you be affected by this?”

Daya was having a headache. “A little, that’s why I called you. I wanted to get your permission for something.”

“For what?”

“My company will be clearing tip the rumors with a notice. We’d like to claim that you’re my bodyguard. Is that alright?”

“Oh, of course that’s fine.”

“Thanks a lot”

After hanging up, he realized that Beatrice was looking at him with a puzzled expression on her face.

“Where were we?”

Beatrice huffed. “You better not have cheated on my sister, or else I will never forgive you.”

Alex clicked his tongue and paid no attention to her. Just then, the tigress, Anna called him.

After informing Claire, Alex left the villa.

The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 428

Daya’s team was very efficient.

Within half an hour, they released a notice to clarify the rumors. The notice mentioned that they were just visiting a friend, the female news reporter from Sweden. They also clarified that Alex was her bodyguard. With this explanation, everything was cleared up.

As a superstar like Daya, it was normal for her to have a bodyguard accompany her, especially after the assassins she encountered at the concert. Moreover, the notice included a lawsuit to sue the paparazzi that spread the rumors as well. They had decided to find out who it was and sue them to oblivion.

Daya was part of the Stoermer family in Michigan, hence she had lots of connections. She was able to find who the paparazzi was. An hour later, the paparazzi admitted to the public that they had fabricated the news and took the photos without permission to spread such rumors for viewership.

In just a few moments, this shocking news had died down without difficulty on Daya’s end.

However, the title ‘Mask’ was trending once more.

After the incident, many were trying to find who Mask was, yet they had no information on him at all. Everyone knew that Daya’s bodyguards had always been female, Mask was the first male bodyguard they had seen. This led to many assumptions, especially among the fans.

Within the fan group that Beatrice was in, many were guessing that Alex was Mask. One of them was a fairly influential figure in the group, his online name was Missouri Conan.

“I’ve had professionals analyze this picture and the video of Mask. Their heights are almost the exact same with at most a centimeter of difference between them.”

“You guys probably don’t know this, but technology is so advanced that facial recognition is still possible with a mask on. The two have similar face shapes, the similarity is up to 95%!”

“One more thing, we have analyzed their body language as well. Many of you might not understand but it’s the same with identifying one’s handwriting. Everyone walks and moves in a certain way. Mask and this bodyguard were surprisingly similar in this aspect too!”

“I’m 99% sure that this bodyguard is Mask!”

Reading these messages, Beatrice was stunned as her ears started to ring.

‘Mask, who has been on my mind every hour of the day, was my brother-in-law?’

‘No… there’s still a one percent chance that he’s not! But… What if he really is Mask? What do I do?’

Mixed emotions welled up in her chest as she sat on the floor. She felt as if her soul had left her body.

“Beatrice, what are you doing? Even if the floor is nicely tiled, you don’t have to sit on it! Come on, take some pictures for me, I want to share and brag about this to my friends!”

Beatrice, however, didn’t move an inch, as if she couldn’t hear a word her mother said.

At the same time, Alex had entered a small pub with Anna. He didn’t expect Anna to be an alcoholic. She was downing a mouthful of liquor and eating some peanuts.

She wasn’t sitting modestly as well, one of her legs was placed on a stool while she shook the other as if she couldn’t sit still at all.

Alex accidentally dropped a peanut and bent down to pick it up. Just then, he was taken aback by what he saw under the table.

Three seconds later, he sat back straight up. “Hey, why are you wearing a skirt today?”

Anna was ignorant “I can wear what I want. Mind your own business.”

She lowered her head to look at her skirt and realized what Alex meant. She placed her leg back down, blushing profusely. “Tsk, you pervert! What’s there to see anyway?”

She paused for a brief while and continued. “Where’s the stuff?”

She wanted the reformed version of the Dragon Tusk martial arts, Alex had promised to help her after all. Alex had prepared everything ages ago and placed a few pieces of paper on the table.

Anna briefly read through the few pieces of papers. Just then, Anna received a call from Sky, “Anna, we have intel on Clown. Steel Tower is hurt, come back to the villa now!”

The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 429

“What?” Anna stood up abruptly and downed the whole cup of liquor.

She shoved the reformed version of Dragon Tusk into her bag and rushed out.

A few seconds later, she rushed back in and grabbed Alex by his arm. “Steel Tower is hurt. You’re a miracle doctor, right? Come with me and take a look at him.”

Before Alex could even refuse, she dragged him straight into her car and rushed to their temporary base. Slamming the pedal to the metal, Anna rushed off to Serenity Villa.

Alex noticed many other Divine Constabulary members this time. He was able to count at least ten or so members. Ted Summers from the Summers family in California was here as well. However, he looked like a mess. He was covered in dust and several injuries.

Everyone seemed very upset, visibly worried.

Anna had quite the reputation in Divine Constabulary. As she walked over to the manor, many greeted her along the way, referring to her as ‘Tigress’.

Alex couldn’t help but think. ‘Did this originate from her aggressive personality?’

Anna managed to find Sky in the middle of the crowd. She asked, “Captain, how’s Steel Tower?”

Sky’s expression was grim. “Ms. Nanami is trying to save him now, in there.”

After noticing Alex, Sky’s eyes lit up. “Alex, you’re here too.”

He knew that Alex was very skilled in medicine. Wallace Yoke, the well-known imperial doctor, had worshipped Alex as well. As the apostle of Dazzle, Alex might be able to save Steel Tower despite his condition.

Just then, the door opened wide. A woman who was wearing a white doctor’s robe and a mask came out of the room, covered in blood.

“Ms. Nanami, how is Steel Tower?” Sky asked.

The others came forward, they were eager to hear Dr. Nanami’s reply as well.

However, bad news dawned upon them. Ms. Nanami shook her head gently. “Sorry, I did what I could.”

“What?”

“Steel Tower, he…”

Every single person in the hall was shocked, it was as if they could hear their hearts shattering simultaneously. Sky clenched his fists tightly and punched a giant hole into the wall next to him.

Some even started crying out loud.

Anna leaned against Alex and bit down on his shoulder. Alex yelped in pain. However, none paid attention to his screams.

Everyone then rushed into the room, they wanted to send Steel Tower off.

Alex sighed as well. Back when he first came here, Steel Tower blocked his way. He was a skilled fighter who trained with brute force. If it weren’t for the breath of Chi his ancestor gave him, Alex knew he wouldn’t have been able to stand a chanceagainst him.

He didn’t expect death to meet Steel Tower before he did.

“Steel Tower!”

“Oh, Steel! My brother!”

“Steel was trying to save me, that’s why he was stabbed seven times by Clown! That bastard! I can’t accept this! I should’ve been the one who died! I’d rather die than to have Steel leave us!” One of the members cried as he smashed his head onto the floor multiple times.

With such strong emotions, Alex couldn’t help but empathize with them.

However, he suddenly realized that Steel Tower’s soul was still in his body by using his Third Eye to look into his Chi. Although he was lying still on the temporary surgical bed, his Chi was still the same as the living.

Alex exclaimed. “Hold on, Steel Tower is still alive.”

“What?”

“Is he really still alive?”

Everyone looked at one another and turned to the monitors connected to Steel Tower. The whole screen was covered in zeroes.

‘Is this still considered a living person?’

Ms. Nanami had taken off her mask and her attractive face was expressionless. She shot Alex a cold glare. “Don’t joke around.”

Alex replied, “I’m not, Steel Tower can still be saved.”

Ms. Nanami’s face turned serious. “Are you doubting my skills as a doctor? Do you think I can’t differentiate a living person and a corpse?”

Sky immediately rushed up to him. “Alex, is Steel Tower really still alive? Can he still be saved?”

Alex replied, “I think so. Please evacuate the room for now. If I try saving him now, we might still have time to bring him back.”

Sky knew that Alex was an Immortal Doctor, according to Wallace. Even though he believed that Steel Tower had passed, he decided to let Alex try what he can this time. He immediately ordered everyone to leave so that Alex wouldn’t be disrupted.

In just a few minutes, everyone left the room, closing the door shut behind them. They couldn’t help but doubt Alex’s abilities.

“Can he really be saved?”

“Why am I feeling so anxious?”

“I can tell if a person is still alive or not, you know?” Ms. Nanami huffed coldly as she took a glance at Sky before leaving the room.

Anna said, “Sky, I think Ms. Nanami is angry.”

Sky sighed. “I have to let Alex try no matter what. If Alex said that he could bring him back, I don’t mind if I offend a disciple of Hygieia Valley. If Steel Tower really could come back to us, then that wouldn’t be an issue.”

“Do you think he’ll come back?”

“We’ll leave that to fate.”

At this very moment, Alex was saving Steel Tower using the Beleben Soul Jinx from the Ultimate Book of Medicine. This was the most mysterious skill that Spirit Doctors use. No average doctor would be capable of even imagining such a skill.

Using this jinx was extremely draining, both physically and mentally. Moreover, due to inexperience, if Alex were to use sucha jinx forcefully, he’d be in danger as well.

However, he could sense the strong bond between all the members of Divine Constabulary just now. Having received the Ultimate Book of Medicine, he knew that he had to try at the very least. He didn’t even mind putting himself in danger.

A mysterious talisman hovered above Steel Tower’s head.

Alex took a deep breath and started focusing, transferring his Chi to his fingertips. One by one, he poked every pressure point on Steel Tower’s body. This revival required Alex to poke on 108 points to be successfully completed.

Thirty minutes passed!

Then, sixty minutes!

After a total of two hours, everyone outside of the room was starting to panic, yet no one came out of the room. Even Ms. Nanami had come back to the hall and shook her head. “Captain Sky, you should go in and take a look! Who knows what that guy is doing in there? There’s not one person on this Earth who could revive someone who is brain dead. If there were to be, he must be God and I’ll kneel before him then.”

Just then, the door opened and someone walked out of the room.

Ms. Nanami knew that it would be Alex, who failed to save Steel tower. She didn’t even bother to take a look. However, the unexpected had happened. A man who was as built as Steel Tower walked out of the room, supporting himself with the door frame.

“Steel Tower!!!”

“Holy sh*t! I’m not hallucinating, right? It really is Steel Tower! You’re alive?”

“Oh, thank the stars, oh, thank you Goddess of Mercy. I’ll be sure to donate one million to your temples tomorrow…”

One even rushed up to him, wanting to tackle hug Steel Tower.

Sky rushed up as well, but he pushed the member away and said, “Steel Tower just woke up, he must still be weak Don’t be rash.”

Ms. Nanami, on the other hand, widened her eyes in disbelief. She was 100% sure that Steel Tower had died, yet here he was, standing before them.

‘This was literally reversing death!’

‘How did that guy do it?’

“Where’s Alex?” Anna asked.

Steel Tower regained a little strength and pointed into the room. “He… You guys should check up on him.”

Everyone took a look inside and realized that Alex was lying on the floor, motionless.

“What?”

“Alex?!” Anna rushed over and wrapped her arms around him. “Ms. Nanami, please come and take a look! What happened to him?”
