The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 531

Alex Rockefeller slapped Vanya Tyler a little too hard. Vanya was only a normal girl. How could she take it? She immediately spun around and fell to the ground. Half her face had become swollen and she coughed out a mouthful of bloody teeth.

Everyone’s hair was standing.

After being hit so hard, Vanya was unable to react for a long while.

“You! How dare you hit Ms. Tyler? You’re in trouble. You’re in big trouble. Even God can’t save you now!”

The Chanel store’s manager shouted in surprise. Meanwhile, another staff member quickly went to look for security guards.

“Security, security! Ms. Fernandez’s daughter has been hit! Come here, quickly!”

Two security guards happened to be passing by the door. When they heard that Ms. Fernandez’s daughter had been hit, they were shocked.

They immediately charged into the store.

“Who did it?”

“Which idiot dared to hit Ms. Fernandez’s daughter? Does he have a death wish?”

Right then, Vanya stood up with the help of Chanel’s staff members.

Vanya noticed at least five or six of her fallen teeth on the ground, all in close proximity to each other. Her expression at the time was simply indescribable. There was a mix of extreme anger, fear and resentment. Teeth that had been knocked off couldn’t be put back. She would have to install dentures.

Vanya was still so young, but she would already have to install so many dentures. How would she spend the rest of her days?

She screamed hysterically as she pointed atAlex and shouted. “He did this. This b*stard did this. Hit him. I want him dead! Whoever kills him, I’ll give them a million dollars. He hit me first. You won’t be incriminated for killing him.”

The two security guards both felt tempted. As the saying goes, brave men existed whenever a great reward was involved. The two security guards let out a loud cry before picking up their hats and started swinging at Alex’s face.

Bang! Bang!

Alex was nonchalant as he casually kicked the two security guards to the ground. They couldn’t get up even after a long time.

The Chanel store’s manager nearly went mad. “Are you crazy? Didn’t you hear what I said? Ms. Fernandez works for Thousand Miles Conglomerate. She works for Lord Lex Gunther. How dare you mess with Thousand Miles Conglomerate and Lord Lex Gunther? Do you really want to die? It’s fine if you want to die, but shouldn’t you think of your family and friends? Do you want them to be severely punished as well?”

Alex laughed coldly. Lord Lex Gunther was an ass-kisser. Whenever he saw Alex, he acted as if he’d seen his grandfather. Would Lord Lex Gunther dare to severely punish Alex?

Besides, the entire Thousand Miles Conglomerate belonged to Alex’s family.

Alex snorted coldly. He slapped the pretty store manager across her face too.

“Miss, are you alright?”

“This man must be crazy. He even hit our store manager!”

The store manager covered her face. She was extremely angry. She immediately took her phone out and called Vanya Tyler’s mother, Ms. Fernandez, on the phone.

At this moment, Claire Assex was scared out of her wits.

For those who lived in California, the mere mention of Lord Lex Gunther’s name was enough to make a kid stop crying out of terror.

Claire immediately rushed over and grabbed Alex by his hand. “You idiot. You can’t do anything right. Do you really want to drag us down with you to hell? Who asked you to hit them? They work for Thousand Miles Conglomerate and Lord Lex Gunther! Don’t you know that? Haven’t you heard of them? He’s going to kill everyone in our family! Get down on your knees and apologize to Ms. Tyler right now! Otherwise, I’m going to slap you!”

What?

Alex froze for a moment. His eyes narrowed while he looked coldly at Claire. “Don’t you have any brains? She did this to you and Beatrice. Aren’t you angry at all? You even want me to get down on my knees and apologize. Do you want me to lick toilet bowls and eat sh*t with you as well? Are you willing to do that?”

Claire’s face turned pale.

She was in so much panic that she was about to wet her pants. “But, they work for Thousand Miles Conglomerate and Lord Lex Gunther. What can we do? We’ll die! Later, you must act a little more humbly. Accept all the blame and bow to them a few more times. You’ll lick the toilet bowls on your own. Do it for Beatrice and me too,” Claire said.

Alex was dumbfounded. Although he had heard about many weird mothers-in-law, he truly hadn’t met anyone as weird as Claire.

The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 532

Alex Rockefeller’s face turned cold. “Impossible. If you want to lick toilet bowls, you can do it yourself. I won’t stop you,” he said.

When Claire Assex thought about licking toilet bowls, she felt reluctant as well.

Right then, the store manager had already finished making a call. “Ms. Fernandez will be here right away. She’s going to come with over ten security guards. If you’re smart, do as Ms. Tyler says immediately. Get on your knees, bow to her and lick the toilet bowls. Once it’s too late, you won’t be able to see the sun tomorrow,” she said.

Claire was so afraid that her lips were trembling and she couldn’t even stand still.

Beatrice Assex hit her lips tightly while she looked at Alex. She wanted to say something, but only tears came out from eyes.

Alex felt uncomfortable from being stared at. “Beatrice, leave with Mom. I’ll take care of the rest. Don’t worry. I’ll be able to handle it if anything happens. You two won’t get involved,” he said.

“You all heard him. He said that he would take care of everything on his own, and that it has nothing to do with us. He’s not related to us either. If you want to blame anyone, look for him,” Claire immediately shouted.

With that, Claire dragged Beatrice away.

Beatrice felt uneasy. When she passed by Alex, she whispered softly. “Quickly, call Daya. If she’s willing to show up, you’ll be saved. Hurry up!”

Beatrice knew that Alex was friends with Zend aya. She also knew that Alex was the piano maestro. That was why she said those things.

“That won’t be necessary!” Alex waved his hand dismissively.

Beatrice was so angry that she stomped her foot. Why was Alex being so arrogant?

As soon as Claire and Beatrice left the Chanel outlet, a group of people aggressively walked over from not too far away.

The person who walked in front was California Plaza’s CEO and mother to Vanya Tyler, Penelope Fernandez.

“Mom!”

Vanya quickly ran over and hugged Penelope.

When Penelope saw how badly her daughter had been beaten up, and she could barely recognize her daughter, she immediately became furious.

“What the hell happened?” Penelope asked.

The Chanel staff next to her immediately started telling Penelope what happened, making sure to exaggerate things and describe Alex as unforgivable and loathsome.

Penelope felt deeply enraged, especially when she saw her daughter’s teeth on the ground. She waved her hand. “Do it. Arrest this thug and bring him back to the office for a strict interrogation,” she said.

After all, they were in a public environment.

Since Penelope was the CEO, she naturally had to pay attention to the impact her actions would make.

“Wait a second,” Alex suddenly said.

“What’s the matter? Are you afraid now? It’s too late. My surname isn’t Tyler if I don’t cut you up into pieces to feed the dogs today,” Vanya said angrily and fiercely.

Penelope got impatient and was about to give another order again.

However, Alex glared at her coldly. “Do you work for Lord Lex Gunther? Give him a call now and tell him my surname is Rockefeller.”

Penelope snorted coldly. “Who do you think you are? Who are you to talk to Lord Lex Gunther?”

Alex shook his head. “It seems like you’re not exactly a core member either. If you won’t make the call, I will.”

Alex took his phone out and searched for Lord Lex Gunther’s number before dialing it.

Penelope and Vanya started laughing coldly. They didn’t believe Alex could speak to Lord Lex Gunther on the phone. Alex was dressed so poorly. How could he be someone important?”

Soon, the call was answered.

Alex put the call on loudspeaker, and Lord Lex Gunther’s respectful voice could be heard. “Mr. Rockefeller, what can I do for you?”

As soon as Penelope heard his voice, her facial expression changed drastically. That’s because she could tell that the man’s voice belonged to Lord Lex Gunther.

“Lex, I’m at California Plaza. Do you know its CEO by the name of Fernandez?” Alex asked.

Lord Lex Gunther was stunned momentarily. “Oh, I do remember a name somewhat. It’s a woman, right? What’s the matter? Did she offend you?”

“She wants to cut me into pieces to feed the dogs”.

“What? That’s outrageous. I think she wants to be sunk to the bottom of the lake. Mr. Rockefeller, is she there? Please pass the phone to her.”

Alex pursed his lips at Penelope.

By then, Penelope was already drenched in cold sweat. Trembling, she picked up the phone. “Lord… Lord Lex Gunther, I’m Penelope Fernandez.”

“You bloody Fernandez!” Lord Lex Gunther yelled.

The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 533

Lord Lex Gunther broke into a tirade on the phone right away. He sounded absolutely furious.

In fact, with the phone on loudspeaker, his voice was so loud that everyone in the Chanel outlet could hear him. The store manager was stunned, just as the security guards were.

Lord Lex Gunther went on yelling for a minute, repeating what he said time and again. After that, he said he would rush over immediately.

Finally, the phone was returned to Alex Rockefeller.

“I’ll wait for you for ten minutes,” Alex said into the phone.

“Okay, okay. I’ll come over by helicopter right away, and I’ll be sure to provide you with a satisfactory outcome,” Lord Lex Gunther hurriedly said.

The route from Hell’s Angels to California Plaza had the busiest traffic. At this period, the traffic congestion was so terrible that one would have a mental breakdown. Wanting to reach California Plaza within ten minutes was a fool’s dream. Fortunately, Lord Lex Gunther had his own private helicopter in Hell’s Angels.

“Hurry up! Quickly! We must get to California Plaza in five minutes!”

“Inform all the shareholders in California Plaza to gather at that stupid Chanel outlet. Get them to kneel in front of Mr. Rockefeller and apologize to him.”

“Her name was Penelope Fernandez, wasn’t it? Does her husband work for Thousand Miles Conglomerate? Bring him!”

It was completely silent in the Chanel outlet.

Everyone had their eyes wide open as they looked at Alex, who was now casually sitting on a stool. They were filled with shock, terror and anxiety. None of them would have thought that this seemingly ordinary loser would actually have the ability to make Lord Lex Gunther afraid of him.

Penelope broke into a cold sweat. She had a feeling that something bad was going to happen. Trembling, she looked at Alex. “You, you… Who are you? How did my daughter offend you?”

Alex glanced at Vanya Tyler. “It doesn’t matter who I am. What matters is that you didn’t teach your daughter well! Your daughter is unbridled, lacks manners and thinks she has the power to do whatever she wants! She bullied my sister-in-law at school. Today, she even threatened to make my mother-in-law and sister-in-law kneel in front of her to apologize. On top of that, she was going to make them lick the toilet bowls. Would a normal person do something like this?”

After Alex said this, Vanya, who was originally fearful of him, suddenly ran forward.

“Oh! I know who you are! It turns out that you’re that useless son-in-law from the Assex family who depends on women for a living,” Vanya said.

Penelope frowned and glared angrily at her daughter. “Shut up. Haven’t you caused enough trouble?”

Lord Lex Gunther was on his way. Penelope hadn’t even figured out what to do yet. If Vanya continued to make a fool of herself, she’d end up killing her mother.

When Penelope thought of how terrifying Lord Lex Gunther was, she shivered before dropping to her knees in front of Alex. “Mr. Rockefeller, it’s my fault for not teaching my daughter well. Please, have mercy and let us go this time…”

When the Chanel’s store manager saw this, her body started to tremble.

Even Ms. Fernandez was on her knees begging for mercy. Earlier, the store manager had also asked Alex to lick toilet bowls. Would Lord Lex Gunter forgive her? However, Vanya pulled Penelope off the ground. “Mom, why are you kneeling to this loser? I’m telling you, you’ve been fooled. Do you know who he is? He is the son of Rockefeller Group’s ex-CEO, William Rockefeller! William’s reputation was tarnished for betraying the country. Everyone criticized him. Now, Alex has been kicked out of the Rockefeller family, and he depends on women for a living. How could a piece of trash like him know Lord Lex Gunther? That call must not have been to Lord Lex Gunther. He must have found someone to pretend to be Lord Lex Gunther.”

“What?” Penelope was stunned.

Of course, Penelope knew who William Rockefeller was. Back then, he garnered a lot of attention in California. It seemed like William’s son couldn’t possibly be acquainted to Lord Lex Gunther.

Moreover, who was Lord Lex Gunther?

Why would Lord Lex Gunther kowtow to an outcast from the Rockefeller family? He sounded extremely respectful, almost as if Alex was his grandfather. Indeed, it must have been fake.

Penelope immediately became furious and jumped up and down while she pointed at Alex’s nose. “Alright, you seem to have the guts to lie to me, Penelope Fernandez! Today, I’m going to make you lick toilet bowls. I’d like to see what else you have up your sleeves!”

“Someone, take him down! I want all his teeth knocked off!”

Since Alex knocked off her daughter’s teeth, she wanted him to make him suffer ten times or even a hundred times worse.

Not only did Penelope want to knock Alex’s teeth off, she also wanted to capture his mother-in-law and sister-in-law so that she could knock their teeth off too.

The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 534

The security guards, who were very much afraid a moment ago, immediately felt relieved after hearing what Penelope Fernandez said.

It turned out that Alex Rockefeller had faked the whole thing.

“Brothers, let’s go!” One of the security guards shouted. Alex looked coldly at these people, as if he was looking at people who were about to die.

“Break all ten of his fingers. How dare he hit me? I want him to suffer so much that he wishes he was dead!” Vanya Tyler called out arrogantly.

Over ten security guards armed with bats were about to hit Alex when someone suddenly shouted.

“Stop!”

Right then, a very loud roaring sound could be heard from the Chanel outlet’s entrance. A man in his mid-forties dressed in formal attire rushed in. There were dozens of security guards behind him, and they all looked intimidating.

“Mr. Baxter, why are you here?” Penelope immediately smiled and greeted the man when she saw him.

The man who came was one of California Plaza’s shareholders, Leroy Baxter.

Leroy glanced at Penelope furiously before waving his hand. “Arrest all these security guards, and break one of their hands,” he ordered.

The security guards Leroy brought were all elite fighters. At his command, dozens of his security guards pounced on the existing security guards in the store. The sound of bones cracking could be heard repeatedly. Listening to it sent chills down others’ spines.

Vanya covered her month while she screamed. She was about to wet her pants.

Penelope was confused. “Mr. Baxter, what’s going on? What happened?”

Leroy looked at Penelope furiously. He wished he could kill her with a single slap. “Penelope Fernandez, I thought you were someone reliable. I didn’t think you’d be the black sheep! I won’t touch you now. Lord Lex Gunther will personally deal with you when he arrives,” he finally said.

With that, he gave another command. “Lock the sliding doors. Close the store and guard the door.”

After saying that Leroy ran over to Alex and went down on his knees.

“Sorry, Mr. Rockefeller!” Leroy lowered his head with a respectful expression on his face.

Everyone was shocked, and they didn’t dare to even breathe too loudly. Penelope’s thighs were trembling. Her heart was so terrified that she felt as if she might soon pass out.

The next moment, another man rushed in. He was a fat man with a big belly.

Penelope was shocked again. “Mr. Connor…”

Mr. Connor didn’t even look at her. He went right over to Alex and kneeled in front of him.

“Sorry, Mr. Rockefeller!”

After that, within five minutes, four other shareholders of California Plaza arrived. They all knelt in front of Alex with their heads down while they apologized to him in a row.

Everyone was shocked.

Penelope had a desperate look in her eyes. Her sphincter muscles were twitching. She knew that she was done for this time. She had caused a huge trouble, and her daughter was the cause of all this.

The young man in front of her was way too strong. He wasn’t someone she could afford to offend.

The funny thing was that Lord Lex Gunther had already told her what to do on the phone. In the end, she offended this person again because she listened to her daughter. Clearly, this was her explicitly going against Lord Lex Gunther!

Even if Vanya Tyler was very dumb, she knew she had messed up this time. But in her mind, she still couldn’t figure out why Beatrice Assex’s brother-in-law was this powerful.

At this moment, Lord Lex Gunther arrived!

The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 535

Lord Lex Gunther rushed over as fast as he could, and he finally made it in time. After getting off the helicopter, he ran the rest of the way. He was not a martial artist. Hence, he was soon out of breath.

He too didn’t even look at Penelope Fernandez and went straight to Alex Rockefeller. “Mr. Rockefeller, I… I’m not late, am I?”

Alex Rockefeller looked at the time: “I gave you ten minutes. You’re one second late.”

Wham!

Lord Lex Gunther directly slapped himself on the face. “I must have eaten too much at noon.”

The crowd looked stunned.

When he looked at Alex, he seemed even more terrified.

“Alright, she’s one of your people. That’s why I didn’t touch her. You can deal with her yourself,” Alex Rockefeller said calmly.

“Okay, okay.” Lord Lex Gunther nodded his head and bowed to Alex.

Once he turned around and faced Penelope, his facial expression instantly turned icy cold.

“Penelope Fernandez, right? Did you decide to ignore whatI said? What did I tell you on the phone? You actually wanted to attack Mr. Rockefeller? Do you think I, Lord Lex Gunther, am a dead person?”

“How dare you try to knock Mr. Rockefeller’s teeth off?”

Penelope immediately kneeled on the ground and knocked her head repeatedly on the ground. Her scalp was starting to feel numb and her heart was about to stop beating. “Lord Lex Gunther, please, spare me this one time…”

Lord Lex Gunther sneered cruelly. “Spare you? I should be asking you to spare me. Someone, knock all her teeth off. If you spare any one of her teeth, that means you’re going against me.”

Penelope’s lips trembled, and her face turned pale. She didn’t say a word because she was mentally prepared for this. However, tears wouldn’t stop streaming down her face.

Penelope was only the general manager of California Plaza, and the six shareholders kneeling on the ground were each more powerful than her. But now, all six of her superiors were punished by kneeling in front of Alex because of her. Would she be any better off?

Immediately, someone held her down and picked up a bat.

Wham! Wham! Wham! Wham! Wham!

Each time she was struck, everyone around could feel a jolt in their hearts.

In particular, Chanel‘s female employees and Penelope’s daughter, Vanya Tyler, were so terrified that they nearly passed out.

There was blood and teeth all over the floor.

Although Penelope was mentally prepared, she still cried out in pain. The pain caused her to faint and become conscious again in an endless cycle.

Finally, Vanya couldn’t stand it anymore. Her heart went out to her mother. “Lord Lex Gunther, I don’t understand. Isn’t he just a man who depends on women for a living? Why are you standing up for him like that? Are you all crazy? My mother has worked hard for California Plaza. She is one of your own. Aren’t you afraid that the people working for you would feel disheartened?”

Alex Rockefeller watched coldly without showing any expression on his face.

One of Lord Lex Gunther’s men flung his hand directly and slapped her in the face.

“Who are you to talk to Lord Lex Gunther like that?”

The slap was very forceful, so much so that several more teeth were knocked off.

The person who did it was a martial artist.

“There are many things you don’t understand! How could a fool like you understand how dignified Mr. Rockefeller is? I understand what’s going on now. Your mother was hit because of you. If it wasn’t for you, this wouldn’t have happened, and I wouldn’t have had to banish her from Thousand Miles Conglomerate,” Lord Lex Gunther said coldly.

“What? Are you even going to banish my mother?” Vanya gasped.

“Of course. This all happened because she has a daughter who causes trouble for her parents,” Lord Lex Gunther said before waving his hand.

“I hear that you like licking toilet bowls. Someone, knock the rest of her teeth out too. Make Penelope and her daughter lick all the toilet bowls in California Plaza. If they don’t, they won’t get to leave today,” he added.

What?

Penelope and Vanya nearly went mad when they heard this.

The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 536

How many toilets were there in the entire California Plaza?

There were four toilets on each floor, and each restroom had at least six toilet bowls. Adding all ofthese from bathrooms of both genders made a total of 48 toilet bowls on each floor.

California Plaza probably had ten floors in total!

In total, that would add up to 480 toilet bowls. One could forget about the possibility of dying from disgust. The more important question at hand was whether one would die from exhaustion first!

Most importantly, a subordinate asked a question in a careful tone, “What if there is poop in the toilet bowl?”

“Get them to eat it,” Lord Lex Gunther replied angrily.

The men received the orders and immediately dragged the two women to carry out their task

Lord Lex Gunther suddenly saw that Chanel outlet’s store manager had the markings of a palm on her face.

“What happened to your face? Who slapped you?” he asked.

The store manager had a panicked expression on her face. “No, I wasn’t hit. I was…”

Alex Rockefeller looked up. “I did it. She wanted me to lick toilet bowls too.”

Lord Lex Gunther was furious. “What? Another piece of sh*t. Drag her out. Do the same thing with her as you did Penelope and her daughter.”

“Ahh! Lord Lex Gunther, please spare me, please!” The woman cried out mournfully. She was extremely terrified.

As a fashionable beauty, how could she do such a thing as licking toilet bowls? Would she ever be able to eat properly? Could she still live like a normal human? She was terrified that she might be haunted by nightmares all day long. Perhaps, her mouth might even reek of poop when she ate, drank, and spoke!

Lord Lex Gunther waved his hand impatiently. “I’m not even killing you. Stop screaming. If you scream again, I’ll make you lick Grandview Mall’s toilet bowls next door.”

The store manager wanted to scream, but she quickly covered her mouth with her hands.

Swish!

Her thighs felt hot. She had peed herself.

At that moment, Penelope Fernandez’s husband got dragged inside too.

Also, a member of the Thousand Miles Conglomerate, his position was lower than that of Penelope.

He didn’t even know what happened. He looked at Lord Lex Gunther with a face of bewilderment. “Lord Lex Gunther, there’s been injustice! I didn’ t wrong the Thousand Miles Conglomerate in any way!”

Lord Lex Gunther shook his head. “You didn’t do anything wrong, but your daughter did, and your wife too. You should share the burden as a family. Go and help your wife and daughter out!”

The man was confused. “What are they doing?”

“You’ll find out once you join them. It’s a good thing. People who can bear with the bitter things in life will live better.”

Lord Lex Gunther waved his hand, and the man was taken away.

With the four of them working together, they should finish licking all 1,80 toilet bowls by nightfall. They wouldn’t even have to work overtime. It was all too awesome.

Alex suddenly thought about how Lady Beatrice Assex was once threatened with flogging, and she nearly had to lick a toilet bowl. She still had emotional scars with her. Regardless of what happened, though, she was still his sister-in-law and should witness such exciting content. “Lex, get someone to record a video of them, especially that girl named Vanya Tyler. Once you’re done, send it to me. I want to show my sister-in-law. I’ll consider it as revenge.”

“Yes, I should do that,” Lord Lex Gunter said.

After that, Lord Lex Gunther found out that Alex came to this Chanel outlet to buy clothes for his sister-in-law.

“Mr. Rockefeller, this Chanel outlet happens to belong to our business alliance. I’m very sorry for all the trouble we’ve caused you today! What size does your sister-in-law wear? I’ll have a sales assistant fetch some clothes of the right size.”

Alex pondered on it for a while. “Okay. My sister-in-law’s measurements are 92, 60, and 97.”

Lord Lex Gunther gave a thumbs up and looked at Alex with an expression any man would understand. “Mr. Rockefeller, you’re an expert!”

Soon, a sales assistant picked ten full sets of clothes and packed them in bags of various sizes. She then respectfully handed those bags over to Alex.

Lord Lex Gunther behaved like Alex’s assistant as he carried all the bags for him. The entire group then headed downstairs and prepared to leave.

In the end, when they reached the main entrance, they suddenly heard someone shouting. “Help! Help! Can anybody help my mother? ”

Sobs…

Alex turned around and saw that the person shouting was Lady Beatrice Assex. Madame Claire Assex, on the other hand, was lying on the ground, her mouth covered in blood.

The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 537

Alex Rockefeller frowned, dashing over immediately. Following beside him, Lord Lex Gunther froze for a moment. He didn’t even see clearly how Alex went over. In the blink of an eye, Alex was already way ahead.

“He really is a supreme expert!” Lord Lex Gunther was deeply amazed in his heart. He pushed the shopping bags in his hands to the bodyguard beside him before running over as well.

“Beatrice, what’s going on? Why did Mom vomit blood and fall? Did California Plaza’s security guards do it?”

Alex didn’t have time to check on Madame Claire Assex’s condition. His first impression was that the two of them must have been chased after by mall security upon leaving the Chanel outlet.

Immediately, his eyes became stern, and he emitted a murderous aura.

For some reason, Lady Beatrice Assex felt safe when she saw Alex. “I don’t know, I… I couldn’t see clearly…” she grabbed Alex’s arm and said.

“How could you have not? Couldn’t you even tell if it was the security guards or not? What’s wrong with your eyes?” Alex asked.

“I… We were just walking normally. Mom suddenly said she felt a little dizzy. I thought maybe it was because of the shock she experienced. That’s why we decided to leave first. However, she only seemed to get weirder and weirder. After a while, she couldn’t even walk. As soon as we walked out of the main entrance, she started throwing up blood… Alex, what do we do?” Lady Beatrice asked.

Alex Rockefeller frowned. He was very surprised. Madame Claire was in good health prior to this, and there was no issue with her heart and brain. Why did she suddenly feel dizzy and throw up blood?

Alex hurriedly checked if Madame Claire was breathing fine while he checked her pulse.

Lady Beatrice froze for a moment. “What… What are you doing? You’re not even a doctor.”

“Be quiet,” Alex yelled. Lady Beatrice was in a daze now. Biting her lips, she had no choice but to shut up. Perhaps after finding out that Alex was the maestro who played the piano for Daya, Lady Beatrice’s impression of him changed. Hence, her attitude toward him had also improved a little.

The next moment, Alex was greatly shocked.

Parasitic disease!

“It’s actually a parasitic disease!”

“How did she contract this? In fact, there are two kinds of parasitic diseases in her body.”

“Who did it?”

Alex was soon certain about Madame Claire‘s condition. This was definitely not a coincidence, but someone had intentionally attacked Madame Claire. Alex was puzzled. Although Madame Claire had a sharp tongue and deserved to be punished, she shouldn’t have offended someone who knew how to inflict others with parasitic diseases.

At this moment, Lady Beatrice saw Lord Lex Gunther and a group of security guards behind him. She nearly cried out in panic.

“How… How did you get out? Didn’t Vanya give you a hard time? These people aren’t here to arrest us, are they?” Lady Beatrice asked.

It was not until then that Lady Beatrice suddenly remembered that the earlier conflict at Chanel might be still unresolved. Based on how well Lady Beatrice knew Vanya Tyler, she was certain Vanya wouldn’t let Alex go that easily.

“It’s fine. Don‘t worry about these things for now…”

Just as Alex said this, Lady Beatrice suddenly also coughed out a mouthful of blood. Her head felt dizzy, and she fell to the ground.

“Ahh….”

“Beatrice, Beatrice?”

Alex held Lady Beatrice in his arms. He was dumbfounded. Hastily, he checked her pulse. His frown only grew deeper.

“She’s been infected by a parasitic disease too!”

“How could this happen?”

The surrounding passersby were also stunned. If only one person threw up blood and collapsed, it might have just been seizure related. But when another person also suddenly threw up blood and collapsed without warning, it was horrifying.

One bystander seemed to think of something and suddenly took a few steps back. “Everyone, back away, back away. Be careful! This might be an infectious disease.”

Once people heard this, they scattered around in unison. A stampede nearly occurred.

Even Lord Lex Gunther took a step back quietly. “Mr. Rockefeller, be careful. Should we send them to the hospital right away?” he asked.

“No, it’s not an infectious disease. They’ve been poisoned!”

Alex’s facial expression was cold. For now, he still couldn‘t suppress the disease. He also couldn’t touch the parasitic worm. Intervention would only cause the parasite to behave even more aggressively, causing its victim to die faster.

Alex said nothing more.

The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 538

In one swift move, Alex Rockefeller picked Madame Claire Assex and Lady Beatrice Assex, one in each hand. He started running outside as fast as he could. Everyone was stunned when they saw him holding two adults, yet he could move at such high speed. This was especially true when Alex directly leaped over the fence in the middle of the road, easily making his way into the parking lot nearby.

Was he even human?

With the two women in his arms, he got into the car and drove quickly toward Maple Villa.

He needed to create a medicine to cure the parasitic disease.

Meanwhile, at Dorothy-Alex Constructions.

Amid presiding over a meeting, Lady Dorothy Assex’s expressions suddenly changed. She put a hand over her chest and paused for a few seconds. After that, she opened her mouth and violently threw up a mouthful of blood.

She instantly collapsed in her seat and passed out.

“Ms. Assex, Ms. Assex!”

“What’s wrong with Ms. Assex? Why did she suddenly throw up blood?”

“Quick, call the ambulance!”

At that moment, the eyes of a young man, a participant in the meeting, glistened briefly. Very quickly, he walked out of the meeting room to make a call.

“Mr. Assex, Lady Dorothy suddenly vomited blood and fainted during the meeting. She’s unconscious now.”

The Mr. Assex he spoke to was none other than Benny Assex of Assex Construction.

Benny had been waiting for this call for a long time. This person was an informant he hired at a costly price. “Okay, got it!”

Benny was actually at home at that time. Madame Joanne, Anderson Assex, and Lady Emma Assex were all next to him as well.

“It worked, Lady Dorothy vomited blood and fainted,” Benny said.

“That’s great!” Lady Emma instantly clapped her hands. “I’ve been longing for this b*tch to die. She went against me again and again. It’d be best if her entire family died today,” she added.

“Emma, don’t say that. No matter what, she is still your cousin… Death would be too harsh. This is the best outcome. They won’t die, but they will have to suffer for a few more years,” Anderson said.

Lady Emma giggled. “Dad, I thought you actually felt sorry for them!”

“Granny Blackwood really is capable. It was definitely worth spending more than 30 million dollars for her service. Once Lady Dorothy falls, Dorothy-Alex Constructions would be ours! Emma, get ready. Tomorrow, you will head over to Dorothy-Alex Constructions and take over the company,” Madame Joanne said.

Lady Emma was overjoyed. “That’s great, Grandma. I won’t let you down.”

Madame Joanne smiled. “I heard that Madame Claire bought a new villa in Senna Port. It’s worth a lot of money. When the time comes, we’ll ask for that villa too. Emma, consider it as part of your dowry.”

Lady Emma was overwhelmed with joy. “Thank you, Grandma,” she said.

“We are all family. Don’t even mention it. From now on, Assex Construction will rise again. With the contract from Waylon Realty and South Cali Structures’ orders, what does the Assex family have to worry about? I am confident that in less than three years, the Assex family will become one of California’s top families.”

Meanwhile, back in Maple Villa.

Villa 8 was empty at the moment because Madame Brittany Rockefeller and Maya Howards, along with Holly Yates, had returned to Michigan to run the show.

Waltz Fleur, on the other hand, was still at work

Alex Rockefeller had left on his own again. Oh, no, Waltz Fleur lived here too.

Presently, Alex had just arrived at the entrance of the villa. Suddenly, he saw a short, old lady with a dark face sitting in front of the large iron gate.

Alex froze for a moment before rolling down the car window. “Who are you looking for?” he asked.

The old lady, naturally, was Granny Blackwood.

With a tremble, she stood up and slowly walked over to Alex. “I am looking for you, young man.”

“Why are you looking for me?” Alex asked.

“I have something for you.” Before she finished, she suddenly waved her hand and sprinkled a handful of powder onto Alex’s face.

The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 539

Swoosh!

The big handful of powder was black, and it had a strange, fishy odor.

Alex Rockefeller was taken aback. Most importantly, he was now sitting on the driver’s seat in the car. With his seat belt on, it was impossible to escape.

He forcefully blew out a mouthful of Chi energy.

Like a gale, it thrusted forward, blowing most of the powder away. However, a small portion fell inside the car and landed on his body.

“Crap!” Alex cursed angrily. He could also feel something desperately drilling its way into his body.

Parasitic disease!

It was the parasitic disease this weird, old woman inflicted upon Madame Claire Assex and Lady Beatrice Assex.

Alex could immediately guess it. In fact, this woman was also inflicting the same disease on him.

“Who are you? Why are you inflicting this disease upon us?” Alex shouted angrily while glaring at Granny Blackwood.

After succeeding, perhaps Granny Blackwood felt that everything was under her control that she wasn’t in a hurry to leave.

She chuckled. “Young man, you actually know about the parasitic disease? You’re quite smart! Don’t blame me for being cruel. If you must blame someone, blame yourself for offending somebody… That’s it. My job is done here. I’ve been paid, and I’ll leave now. Spend the rest of your life suffering in bed, ya’ll!”

Granny Blackwood turned around and started walking out slowly.

She believed that after being affected by such a large amount of parasites, Alex wouldn’t even be able to get out of the car. Very soon, he would throw up blood and faint. He’d be no different from a comatose person.

“Wait a second!”

To her surprise, Granny Blackwood heard Alex’s voice from behind. He sounded very energetic.

When she turned around, she actually saw Alex opening the car door wand walking out as if completely unscathed.

Granny Blackwood’s pupils instantly contracted.

“How are you… Alright?” she asked.

Granny Blackwood wondered if she was imagining things. She could actually see lightning arcs flashing around Alex’s body.

In reality, she wasn’t imagining things at all. There were indeed lightning arcs.

It was the Chi energy inside Alex’s body, surfacing as a force through the lightning attribute. It was directly electrocuting the parasitic worms that had drilled into his body.

As the inheritor of the Ultimate Book of Medicine and practitioner of Foundation Building, how could Alex be hindered by some minor parasitic worms? Although he couldn’t use his Chi energy of lightning attribute to kill worms in other people’s bodies, he could easily kill those in his own. It was undoubtedly more effective than using insecticide.

“Do you think ordinary parasitic worms like yours could kill me? Are you dreaming?” Alex asked calmly while walking over to Granny Blackwood one step at a time.

“Hmph. I doubt you’re immune to my parasitic worms.” Granny Blackwood’s eyes glimmered while she opened her mouth. The next second, a golden flying insect flew out of her mouth and directly projected itself at Alex.

Alex, however, managed to reach out and grab it. The golden flying insect fell into his hand.

“Gold-winged parasite!” Alex said casually after glancing at it.

The next moment, a lightning arc flashed on his palm. The gold-winged parasite was instantly electrocuted.

“Ahh!” Granny Blackwood cried in pain. Blood spewed out the corners of her mouth.

Connected to her own life, the gold-winged parasite was her native parasitic worm. Now, with it being so easily electrocuted by Alex, she’d suffer from the backlash. It caused her to throw up blood from the injury.

Alex tossed the dead gold-winged parasite away. “Do you have any other tricks?”

A look of panic appeared in Granny Blackwood’s eyes. She was cursing at Madame Joanne in her heart. “Joanne Carlton, you old b*tch. You set me up! This fellow clearly isn’t an ordinary person. You’d actually made me embark on a suicide mission. If I manage to survive, I’ll make you pay for this.”

Swish!

Granny Blackwood’s spine moved a little.

Two small, red snakes were sent to Alex at lightning speed.

“Hmph! ” Alex snorted coldly while channeling his lightning attribute Chi to the center of his palm.

He grabbed the two snakes in his hands.

The next second, these serpents died as well.

“Escape!” Granny Black scattered a handful of poisonous mist before turning around and running.

The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 540

“Trying to run? Too late!”

In a swift move, Alex Rockefeller appeared in front of Granny Blackwood.

This darned old woman wasn’t a martial artist at all. Her movements were limited, unlike Alex. The next moment, Alex tapped Granny Blackwood’s chest and cut off a certain nerve connection in her body. She soon fell to the ground and became unconscious.

Alex still couldn’t kill this old woman at that moment because he had yet to cure Madame Claire Assex and Lady Beatrice Assex of their parasitic disease. If he killed Granny Blackwood now, it might trigger the parasitic worms in their bodies.

Alex placed the two women on the sofa. The old woman, on the other hand, had all her limbs tied up. In fact, Alex sealed her pressure points before tossing her aside.

Just as Alex was about to enter the basement to create medicine for the parasitic disease, he received a call on his phone.

When he looked at the screen, he saw that the call was from Cheryl Coney. Alex hesitated for a few seconds. In the end, he still picked up. “What’s the matter, Cheryl?”

“Alex, I’m in the hospital. I sawyour wife. She threw up blood and passed out. The emergency unit has tried many methods, but none of those could resuscitate her. Her situation seems a little complicated. Hurry up, come and check on her!” Cheryl said in panicked voice.

When Alex heard this, he frowned.

D*mn it. He was too careless.

Not only were Madame Claire and Lady Beatrice affected, but Granny Blackwood even came after him herself. There was no reason Lady Dorothy would be spared.

“Don’t touch her. I’ll be right over. She’s been inflicted with a parasitic disease,” Alex said.

After hanging up, Alex immediately left home and headed to First City Hospital.

Half an hour later, Alex saw Lady Dorothy. Indeed, she was also inflicted with a parasitic disease.

“Is it really a parasitic disease?” Cheryl asked.

Alex nodded. “Yes, there’s no mistake about it. I’m taking her with me. She won’t be cured here in the hospital. I’ll find a way when I get back,” he said.

Alex picked Lady Dorothy up and wanted to leave.

To his surprise, a doctor stepped forward and stopped him. “You can’t leave. What’s wrong with you? The patient is in critical condition. How could you bring her home now? Don’t you want her to receive treatment? What kind of a husband are you?”

Alex looked at the doctor. “Can you find out what’s the cause?”

“…”

The doctor remained silent.

“If you can’t even find out what’s the cause, how can I count on you to save her?” Alex asked.

The doctor had nothing to say.

Alex picked up Lady Dorothy and turned around to leave.

Cheryl ran after him. “Alex, do you need my help?”

Alex gave it a thought. With three women inflicted by parasitic diseases at the same time, he did indeed need help. “Can you leave the hospital?”

“That won’t be a problem,” Cheryl said.

Cheryl truly wanted to help him.

Apart from that, it was also her first time encountering parasitic diseases. She wanted to find out more about it by tagging along with Alex.

“Alright. Come with me,” Alex said.

***

After returning to Maple Villa, Alex wasted no time. He entered the basement right away.

Last time, when he cured Leanna Graves from her parasitic disease, he used blood from Priscilla Paytas’ Kyuhelios Pulse as a medicinal primer. However, two days ago, Keith Yowell delivered some herbs over that included a stalk of flaming lotus reishi. This was a spiritual herb, and it was also a worldly treasure. Its original attribute was evenstronger than Priscilla Paytas’ blood.

That was because Priscilla Paytas’ blood was not yet in its activated form.

However, this flaming lotus reishi was the real deal. On top of that, Alex still possessed quite a lot of Priscilla Paytas’ blood.

Half an hour later, Alex finished creating the medicine. After feeding the three ladies from the Assex family with the medicine, all parasitic worms inside their bodies started escaping on their own.

It was a much easier process than when Alex cured Leanna Graves of her parasitic disease last time.

That was because Leanne Graves’ parasitic worms had lived in her body far a very long time. Meanwhile, the parasitic worms had only just entered their bodies this time.

Soon, the women from the Assex family regained consciousness.

Lady Dorothy was the first to open her eyes. As soon as she did so, she saw Cheryl staring at her. Lady Dorothy immediately sat up with a knee-jerk reaction. “Why is it you? Why are you here?”

Lady Dorothy’s facial expression was filled with hostility.

Alex’s eyes flashed. “Honey, Dr. Coney saved you,” he quickly said.

Cheryl’s beautiful eyes went wide, and she had an odd expression on her face.
