The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 731

The short old man had a dismayed look on his face, looking as though he would rather be dead than alive.

Decades of hard, bitter work had been destroyed in that instance, it was tantamount to shattering all his dreams and courage. He lay on the ground, looking up at the ceiling. Only desperate, incoherent mutterings remained in his mouth.

It wasn’t anything being said in English either, but Japanese.

Alex took a few steps forward and grabbed the short old man. “Waltz, I’ll be taking away this guy to ask a few questions. I’ll leave you to handle the rest of the matter here! If anyone dares to oppose you being the CEO, just kill them!”

He waved his hand, and the Stake of Exorcism that had embedded into the wall earlier came back to the palm of his hand with a whoosh.

Until this moment, only did many people come to their senses and realize that Alex was the one who shattered the mysterious black knife controlled by the short old man and turned the tables. Otherwise, the owner of Thousand Miles really would have changed hands today.

Alex took the short old man and left the inner hall. During this time, he didn’t even bother sparing Frank a glance at all.

Originally, the reason he had planted the parasitic disease in Frank at the time was for the convenience of Thousand Miles to annex Valtameri Co. Now, it had been done early and Valtameri Group only had a few insignificant business left in California that Thousand Miles wouldn’t take even if they were offered. So, Alex wasn’t concerned whether Frank was alive or dead atall.

However, this Master Miyagi had slightly caught his interest.

In the inner hall, Jerry was relieved again as his life was once again assured without the mysterious black knife at his neck. He hurriedly got off the ground.

However, everyone’s eyes in the room looked at him with unkind intention.

“What? Why are all of you looking at me like that?” Jerry shouted angrily, and five to six people stood up.

Zane Zeigler rushed over. “Jerry Jackson, you damn son of a b*tch, how dare you kidnap my daughter? Hurry up and let her go.”

Jerry pushed him away. “What is with your crazy shouting? Your daughter is not dead yet!”

Having said that, he turned to Waltz and forced a smile on his face and said, “Cough, cough. Waltz, Uncle thought about it carefully just now. It’s more appropriate for you to be the CEO of Thousand Miles Conglomerate. I’m already old, and my mind is not as sharp as it used to be. I hope you won’t be offended about the matter just now and let it go. From now on, this old man will do his best to support you, and become your right hand and legs.”

He could still read the situation.

If he were to get entangled in the position of CEO right now, he would have been befuddled and lose his conscience, and that would be equivalent to digging his own grave!

So, he quickly changed his attitude.

However, Waltz sneered, “My right hand and legs? Are you even qualified to do so?”

Jerry was taken aback for a moment and said, “Waltz, no matter how it is, I’m still a veteran shareholder of Thousand Miles Conglomerate, holding a 7% equity share in hands…”

Before he could finish speaking, Waltz interrupted him, “Jerry Jackson, I think you’re really going senile. Where do you have 7% share of Thousand Miles? You’ve just sold your equity, have you forgotten? Look, the money for the sale of shares is still right in front of you!”

What she meant was the one dollar coin.

Jerry laughed forcefully as he said, “Waltz, stop joking. How could this be counted?”

Waltz took the contract that Jerry had signed and waved it. “You signed this document with your own signature, of course it is counted as a valid document.”

Then, she took out the copies that Fabio and the others had signed and flung them out, scattering them on the table.

“Dear directors, take back these contracts that you’ve signed. You’re free to deal with it however you see fit,” Waltz said in a calm voice.

As soon as she said that, the other directors hurriedly looked for their own contract eagerly. Immediately afterwards, the sounds of paper tearing could be heard.

Within minutes, all the contracts had been torn to pieces.

Fabio looked around and couldn’t find his own contract, and anxiously looked towards Waltz, “Waltz, is that contract mine?”

Waltz nodded her head. “It’s yours. But, I have no intentions of returning it to you.”

The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 732

Fabio was stunned. “What?”

Waltz winked at Azure.

Azure got up immediately. “Jerry Johnson, Fabio Dobbs, you’re no longer members of Thousand Miles Conglomerate, and you’re not eligible to stay in Hell’s Angels for the meeting. In addition, the two of you actually conspired together to snatch the shares of the senior management of Thousand Miles, as well as kidnapped their family members. These sins cannot be forgiven, and they will be dealt with in accordance with the rules and family laws of Thousand Miles.”

“Someone, come!”

A martial artist from Hell’s Angels stepped forward instantly.

Azure said in a cold tone, “Take them to the interrogation room and cut off ten fingers first. I’ll interrogate them myself later.”

Fabio cried loudly, “Azure, Azure! This has nothing to do with me! I really didn’t know anything about the kidnapping of the family members of the directors! It was all this b*stard Jerry’s own doing.”

“Oh, really?” Azure’s eyes were chilling cold. “Then, I’ll give you one chance to explain your problem. Remember, only one chance.”

Fabio wasn’t any formidable hero, he was just an opportunist.

At this moment, his fingers were about to be cut off, facing the family law in the interrogation room. How could he still continue pretending to be strong?

He immediately spilled his guts at the drop of a hat. “I only promised to help Jerry to stir trouble during the voting of the CEO, and followed him at the back… In addition, I also provided the family contacts of several directors. But, I didn’t know that this brute Jerry would kidnap them! After the matter was settled, he promised to give 30% of the business assets to me. Now that I think about it, this b*stard probably tricked me into it!”

Jerry saw that he was going to be unlucky all alone, and he wasn’t willing to go down alone.

He immediately started cursing, “Fabio Dobbs, you damn scumbag! How dare you refuse to admit what you have done? Half of the shareholders’ family members were tied up by you, okay? Now you are trying to put all the blame on me? No way!”

“What? Jerry Johnson, what nonsense are you spouting? It’s already this time, you still want to drag m e down the gutters with you?”

Waltz couldn’t listen anymore, and she waved her hand as she said, “Drag all of them down, the family law will judge you!”

Then, she turned to Azure and said, “Brother Azure, I’ll have to trouble you for a trip. Take someone to rescue all the family members of the directors.”

Azure nodded his head. “Okay!”

He left once he had the instructions.

Waltz found a blank contract and had Frank sign it, and transferred all the equity that he had just obtained from Jerry and Fabio… to Alex Rockefeller!

In total, there was an amount of 12% of shares!

At the same moment, in another room in Hell’s Angels… Alex used his Soul Banishing Touch and pressed a finger on the short old man’s forehead.

Five seconds!

The old man could only stand it for five seconds before his body started trembling uncontrollably. He howled and told his backstory, “I’ll talk, I’ll talk. I’m an elder from Gokudo Soshiki, Kenji Miyagi, and am Ono Yohei’s master.”

‘Ono Yohei?’

Alex thought for a moment before he finally remembered the name. Wasn’t that the guy with the bead that allowed him to have extremely high mental power?

He hummed and then asked, “Why have you come to America? Did you come here to avenge your disciple?”

Kenji had no desire for revenge anymore, he only gave a bitter smile without a sound.

However, Alex understood what he meant. He asked, “Your Gokudo Soshiki has quite a lot of masters. You’re just a cultivator at the Spirit Transcendence stage yet you could become an elder. What is the cultivation rank of the most powerful person in the Gokudo Soshiki?”

Kenji replied, “The president of Gokudo Soshiki is mysterious and unpredictable. His cultivation rank had long exceeded anything that I know of… I have failed myself in America this time, and I have nothing to say about it. I already heard the rumor that there’s a powerful Cultivation Guru in America. Clearly, I have severely underestimated America!”

Alex suddenly asked, “If you’re Ono Yohei’s master, then you should know about the bead that he had? Tell me, what was it? How do you use it?”

Kenji was stunned. “Haven’t you already done Blood Refinement?”

The moment Alex heard that, he immediately slapped his head. ‘F*ck! I’m so stupid!’

The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 733

When Alex came out from the room, Kenji Miyagi was dead. Even his soul had gone.

This person knew Alex’s details and also knew that he was a Spirit Transcendence ranked cultivator. For the safety of himself and his family, it was impossible for Alex to let him go alive. As for Gokudo Soshiki, its priority in Alex’s mind had once again gone up a notch.

When he returned to the inner hall of Hell’s Angels, Waltz already had the entire situation under control. She was recognized as the new CEO of Thousand Miles Conglomerate.

As for Frank, he was very likely to have reunited with Kenji Miyagi. Then, who was the one who removed the parasitic disease from Frank?

The answer was obvious.

As a Spirit Transcendence ranked cultivator, it shouldn’t be difficult for Kenji to destroy a parasitic worm.

Half an hour later, Azure called. He had found the families of all the shareholders.

It was because Jerry hadn’t sent any further

It was because Jerry hadn’t sent any further instructions to the people responsible for detaining the family members, so they had yet to act. Therefore, the rescue process went smoothly. Some of them weren’t even aware that they had been kidnapped, and only realized it after they had been rescued by the martial artists from Thousand Miles that Azure had brought over.

The shareholders jumped in joy, immediately heading out to pick up their respective family members.

“Congratulations on becoming the CEO of Thousand Miles Conglomerate. From today onwards, you’re no longer Princess Fleur of California’s underworld, but a veritable flower queen. Pay your respects to her Majesty, the queen!” Alex smiled as he said to Waltz.

Seeing how the sad and sorrowful look had been etched onto her face, he couldn’t help but feel the urge to try to make her happy.

However, Waltz threw herself at him. “I don’t want to be a queen whatsoever, I just want to be your maid. You’re the one who’s my king.”

Such stunning and affectionate words had moved Alex.

He wrapped his arms around her and whispered, “Waltz, radiant peach blossoms flourish beautifully over a long period. In this world, there is only one you. You’re not my vassal, and I even can’t treat you as my maid.”

Waltz looked at him and said, “Then, take me as your woman.”

“Waltz…”

“Don’t speak. I just need your comfort right now.”

Alex was stunned. How could he comfort her if he didn’t speak?

Waltz raised her fair neck, her eyes closed as she pursed her red lips.

Then, he understood. Hesitating briefly, he pressed a comforting kiss on Waltz’s delicate lips.

However, it was obvious that Waltz wanted more than that

She opened her eyes, attacking fiercely as she locked lips with him.

“Ahem!”

A woman’s coughing suddenly sounded in his ears. Alex pushed Waltz away to find that the owner of the voice was Michelle. Nathan was also standing behind her.

They had rushed back from Eastward Island.

The little devil had always been blunt, so she said, “Alex, you’re also too much. Lord Lex’s coffin is still lying next door, and here you are, making out with his daughter. If this ever gets out…”

Waltz immediately leaped forward and covered Michelle’s loose mouth with her hand.

Embarrassed, Alex touched his nose and quickly said to Nathan, “Old Nat, let’s go. I’ll check on your injuries. Having said that, Alex pulled Nathan and walked outside.

The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 734

Fine, he was fleeing!

In fact, Nathan’s wounds had already been treated by Alex with his witchcraft last night. After recovery overnight, it was no longer a serious problem.

Nathan said, “Young Master, when I came back, I heard news that the Stoermer family of Michigan had destroyed Hydra Group overnight. Almost all of Hydra’s businesses have become the Stoermers’! Dammit! Young Master, you’re the president of SCBA, and the Stoermer family from Michigan suddenly just interfered flagrantly and plucked the fruits of your labor. How preposterous!”

“Oh?” Alex nodded his head and said, “It’s okay. I never had the intention to take over Hydra Group in Michigan. Michigan has a lot of hidden talents, and is the backbone of America’s economy. If we were to take down Hydra Group, we might catch the attention of some other people.”

Nathan said, “What are you afraid of? Young Master, you’re a Grandmaster. There hasn’t been one below the age of thirty in the entire history of America. I heard people saying that Tristan Coleman from the Coleman family in Missouri is the most powerful genius in America’s history. Some are even saying that he will reach Grandmaster before the age of thirty-five. Pfft! He’s just rubbish compared to you, Young Master.”

Alex smiled. “Old Nat, it’s better to keep a low profile! Being a Grandmaster is not the pinnacle of martial arts, after all.”

Nathan was shocked and exclaimed, “What? Being a Grandmaster is not the pinnacle? Then, what is the pinnacle?”

Alex said, “That’s why I said your vision is too narrow. When you’ve reached the rank of Grandmaster, you’ll know that there’s still a long way to go! Don’t worry, since you’re sincere in doing things for me, I’ll make sure you’re able to reach that realm someday.”

Nathan could feel his blood boil with passion after hearing those words, and continuously thanked Alex.

“Old Nat, Lord Lex has just passed on, so you should stay here and help a bit. I need to deal with something right now, I’ll be back tomorrow.” Alex instructed Nathan, then turned away to leave. He had to try out the cultivation of Blood Refinement to find out the secrets hidden within the bead.

Of course, the main reason he left was to flee from Michell’s poisonous tongue… There were so many people in Hell’s Angels. If she ever caused a ruckus and yelled at them, especially at this time, it would be embarrassing, right?

He casually waved down a taxi at the entrance.

On the way, he made a call to his mother and briefly updated her on the situation. He made a promise to head to Michigan after three days.

Meanwhile, Brittany was very surprised by Daya’s announcement on the recent news and said on the phone, “I really didn’t expect Daya to be a daughter from the Stoermer family in Michigan. I wondered if you had hooked up with her in the beginning. Luckily you didn’t make advances at her, otherwise, you would be in trouble! The Stoermer family of Michigan and the Coleman family of Missouri, they’re all big families. If you really were to be associated with them, it would just spell trouble.”

Alex sighed inwardly, and thought, ‘Oh Mom, you are just too late to say this. I didn’t sink my claws into her, but I wasn’t a match for Daya, who drugged me secretly and had her way with me! The problem is that I was quite satisfied with it, and now I’m about to crash their engagement and grab her!’

After they chatted for a few more minutes on casual topics, he hung up the call.

At this time, the taxi had come to a stop.

“Mister driver, why aren’t we moving?” Alex asked casually while sitting in the backseat.

The driver said, “I think there’s been an accident… Oh dear, they’ve started fighting, it’s a sweet beauty too!”

Alex turned his head to look through the windshield. It turned out that he recognized them. It was Dorothy’s cousin, Sharpay. Even Adrianna was present

At this moment, a woman grabbed Sharpay by her hair for unknown reasons and slapped her across the face for seven or eight times. The woman was extremely fierce. After slapping her, she turned and went to beat Adrianna.

Adrianna and Claire were a bit similar: they didn’t have very good tempers. If it were to be the usual time, she would have cursed her guts out already. However, at this time, she was merely holding her head and dared not retaliate a single bit.

After taking a closer look, Alex realized that the woman had two bodyguards beside her who were eyeing covetously at the two women.

He didn’t plan to interfere with the matter at first because he didn’t have any affection for the pair of mother-daughter. However, that woman beating them was going too far, and looked as though she was going to beat them to death. When Sharpay tried to stop her, one of the bodyguards kicked her right in the stomach. She fell and couldn’t get up after a long time.

Alex frowned, then opened the door and got down.

The driver hurriedly said, “Hey bro, don’t go. I know that woman, she’s someone from Thousand Miles Conglomerate. You can’t afford to offend her!”

Alex waved his hand dismissively, “It’s fine!”

He walked quickly. Just as the woman took off one of her high heeled shoes and held it in her hand, raising it high to sink it into Adrianna, she was frightened to the point that she almost fainted.

Just as this moment, a hand reached out to grab the woman’s wrist. “You’ve been beating them up for so long, that’s enough, right?”

The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 735

The woman didn’t expect that someone would dare to grab her hands like that.

Her fierce face turned to look at Alex and she struggled hard. However, Alex’s grip was as firm as vise. No matter how much strength she exerted, she couldn’t break free of his grip.

She furiously said, “You mongrel, where did trash like you come out from? How dare you come over and intervene? Let go of me, otherwise I promise that you won’t even have this hand after this, and you can only wipe your *ss with your left hand for the rest of your life.”

Alex nodded. “I’ll fulfill your request.”

He pressed down lightly in the next moment, and the woman’s wrist cracked and snapped in the opposite direction.

“Ahhhh!” The woman jumped and screamed. “It’s broken, my wrist is broken!”

The onlookers watching the scene were shocked. Earlier, they were worried that a young man who stood up to injustice like Alex might be beaten up badly by the two bodyguards, and he would never dare to act heroically again. To their surprise, he just broke the woman’s wrist as soon as he stepped forward. His means was even crueler than that wicked woman’s.

“Are you both dumb, dead men? Go! Beat him to death, beat this mongrel! Kill him for me!” The woman cradled her wrist, howling loudly at her bodyguards like a lunatic.

The two bodyguards who snapped back to reality immediately roared, pulling out their fists as they were ready to make a move.

However, Alex casually waved his hands and the bodies of the two immediately crashed into the Mercedes Benz next to them and almost fainted, as if they had been hit by a car.

It was only after these things happened that Sharpay and Adrianna finally came to their senses. Sharpay looked up to find that it was Alex, she cried out immediately, “Brother-in-law. Oh, no… Mr. Rockefeller!”

Adrianna’s head had swelled up like a pig’s head. She only stared at Alex in a daze without being able to say a single word.

Alex bent down to pull Sharpay up and asked, “What happened?”

Sharpay had a sad expression on her swollen face as she answered, “Mr. Rockefeller, I was driving on the road properly. A child suddenly crossed the road in front of the car, so I immediately slammed the emergency brake. As a result, their car rammed right into my car from behind! I hadn’t even said anything, yet this woman started beating us up… Ooh, it hurts somuch…”

Once Sharpay had finished talking, she immediately threw herself into Alex’s arms. To her, this was simply a golden opportunity.

During this period of time, Sharpay who worked at City Salon dressed up beautifully every day. She usually got up at seven in the morning, but now she forced herself to wake up at six. Then, she would spend half an hour putting on her makeup, hoping that she would be able to meet Alex at the salon.

Unfortunately, she hadn’t had the chance to see him at all. Unexpectedly, they met in such a place, and he even swooped in like a hero saving the damsel in distress.

It was fate!

‘The hero saves the beauty, and me, the beauty will throw myself into his arms, devoting my life to him from then on.’

Alex was startled when she jumped at him. He hurriedly pushed her away and said, “Let me check on your mother.”

Adrianna had been beaten up badly. Her mouth and nose were broken, the corner of her eyes were also red and swollen, but fortunately her wounds weren’t too deep.

Seeing her bodyguards were beaten up and couldn’t even get up at all, the woman exploded in anger. She rushed forward and kicked them over and over. “Trash! Get up, get up! I’ve spent so much money to support you, yet you all turned out to be useless! Trash! Waste of space!”

Then, she turned to Alex and yelled at him, “You mongrel, do you know who I am? You dare to make a move against me? Do you believe that I can make you suffer in a living hell with just a single phone call?”

Alex replied with a calm voice, “Who are you?”

Seeing the disdainful expression on his face, the woman got even angrier. “I’m telling you, my husband is a shareholder of Thousand Miles Conglomerate, a brother of Lord Lex!”

She didn’t even know that Lord Lex had moved on to have tea with Hades in the underworld.

The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 736

“Oh!” Alex replied calmly.

“Oh? What do you mean by that? Now that you know who I am, why don’t you kneel and beg me for forgiveness? Do you really have a death wish? Aren’t you afraid that you and all your family members will be drowned in a river?”

At this moment, the nearby onlookers showed a look of dread once they heard that the woman’s husband was a brother of Lord Lex. Some slightly timid onlookers just stopped watching and left the scene immediately, fearing that they might be implicated.

Adrianna suddenly trembled in fear.

She was really afraid that Lord Lex of Thousand Miles Conglomerate would really come to their house and kill their entire family. So, she hurriedly pulled Alex and said, “Alex, you can’t afford to offend Thousand Miles Conglomerate, it will cost you your life! You better… You better hurry and apologize to her!”

Hearing Adrianna’s words, the woman became arrogant once again. “Hmph, you’re only afraid now? Kneeling down for an apology won’t be enough now. Kneel down and slap yourself, and then pull out all your teeth. I’ll take a life from you all for every remaining tooth.”

Alex laughed and looked at the woman with extremely cold eyes. “You’re really… pigheaded! Fine, call your husband here. I want to see who’s the dimwit that married a trash like you.”

“You… You dare to curse my husband? Fine, you’re dead meat.”

The woman may have felt superior to these people in front of her, and continued to provoke Alex at this moment.

Then, she made a call. “Hubby, I’ve been beaten by someone. He broke my hand. Hurry and bring your subordinates to come… Otherwise, otherwise, the fetus in my stomach will not be around for much longer.”

Her words stunned everyone, their hearts thumped wildly. If the woman was really pregnant, then this situation may turn out differently.

However, Alex merely glanced at the woman and smiled coldly in that instant. If she could be pregnant, that would be a miracle.

Adrianna was still very worried, with an anxious expression on her face. Sharpay pulled her at this moment, whispering, “Mom, what are you afraid of? With Mr. Rockefeller supporting us, nothing will happen to us. Have you forgotten what I told you? Even Lord Lex from Thousand Miles Conglomerate has to bow whenever he sees Mr. Rockefeller.”

Adrianna covered her mouth immediately. She finally remembered this fact that her daughter had mentioned to her before.

However, that day Sharpay only told her that Alex was at most the owner of City Salon and even Belle Blossom, and he was very extremely rich. The fact that he had a relationship with Lord Lex of Thousand Miles had completely slipped out of her mind.

When she recalled that, her eyes lit up.

Looking at Alex who was as calm as a breeze, she started to gain a more favourable impression of him as time passed. She dearly wished that her daughter would be able to obtain him and let him become her son-in-law.

Twenty minutes later, the woman’s husband arrived. He drove a black Rolls Royce which was worth tens of millions dollars. Eight other luxury cars also came together, and they were all Porsches.

Whoosh!

Dozens of aggressive looking men got off the cars, with each of them holding steel pipe in hands. When the onlookers witnessed such stances, they dared not come closer and immediately scattered.

The woman cried as she rushed towards them. “Hubby, you have to avenge me. Look, my entire hand is broken, and it hurts! Hurry and have your subordinates beat him to death. I want his corpse to be torn into pieces and fed to the beasts!”

Her husband was furious when he saw how hurt his woman was. He waved his hand and was about to give the orders.

Before that could happen, Alex said lightly, “Ah, so it’s Director Zeigler. Is this woman your wife?”

It turned out that the man was Zane Zeigler, whom he had met in Hell’s Angels.

Zane raised his head to take a look. In the next second, his entire body stiffened, even his heart was about to jump up to his throat. He would never have thought that the person who he ran here to deal with would turn out to be Alex.

This man was a killing machine!

He hurriedly pushed the woman away from him, rushing forward to kneel in front of Alex with a thud. “Mr. Rockefeller. Mr. Rockefeller, I’ve sinned! Did this stinking old hag offend you?”

The woman fell silent.

Everyone else fell silent as well.

The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 737

Everyone at the scene was shocked to the point their jaw had fallen to the ground.

Zane arrived with dozens of his men carrying weapons in an imposing manner. Everyone thought that Alex would be done for. He would be at least maimed, if not killed. To their surprise, Zane went straight down on his knees after Alex said something casually.

What in the world was this situation?

Wasn’t this person a shareholder of Thousand Miles Conglomerate?

Could it be that this young man had a greater background than Thousand Miles Conglomerate?

At this moment, not to mention the onlookers were curious yet shocked, even Sharpay’s eyes widened…

Earlier at City Salon, she only knew that Alex had some connections to Lord Lex of Thousand Miles. Lord Lex had been extremely polite towards Alex, after all. However, how would she know the specific relationship between them?

Therefore, when Zane turned up with so many people in tow, she was still nervous. Never did she expect that Alex’s power would be greater than what she had imagined, to the point that a shareholder of Thousand Miles had to kneel down and apologize to him.

The woman froze for a moment, before she started yelling, “Old Zeig, have you lost your mind? Why are you kneeling in front of this wretched-looking tramp?!”

When Zane heard this woman’s words, his temples throbbed painfully.

‘If I were to offend Mr. Rockefeller, he could kill me with a single finger. Forget about Mr. Rockefeller. If this matter were to spread to the ears of Waltz, I would be in deep trouble.’

He immediately grabbed the woman and fiercely yanked her down.

The woman couldn’t resist his strength, and her knees instantly buckled from the force of the pull, falling to her knees on the ground hard. She opened her mouth and screamed in pain when her knees hit the ground.

However, Zane slapped her across the face a few times consecutively in the next moment. He shouted furiously, “You stinking hag, are your eyes blind? How dare you scold Mr. Rockefeller? Who do you think you are? Hurry, prostrate and apologize to Mr. Rockefeller right now. If Mr. Rockefeller doesn’t forgive you, then kneel until you die here.”

‘What?’ The woman had finally woken up from the few slaps that she had gotten.

Her face was full of horror and tears as she looked at Alex and said, “Old Zeig, who in the world is this person? I didn’t offend him, he’s the one who charged up right at me and broke my hand. I don’t know him at all.”

“Just now, who was clamouring to ask me to kneel down and apologize to you while slapping myself, and even pull out all my teeth? If I were to keep a tooth, a family member of mine would be killed. Weren’t you the one who said all these things?” Alex said calmly.

When Zane heard this, his entire body trembled. ‘This stinking old hag is digging a grave for me right now!’

Sharpay, who was new full of confidence, pointed at the woman and started blabbering her evil deeds while adding fuel to the fire. Finally, she said, “Your wife even threatened to drown us in a river!”

Zane was furious to the point that his heart and liver were trembling wildly inside him!

He grabbed the woman’s hair abruptly and pulled her head over. Then, he pressed her head down firmly, knocking her head to the ground to bow to Alex with loud thuds. “Mr. Rockefeller, I’ve sinned! I leave this stinking old bag to you to be dealt with as you see fit. I, Zane Zeigler will not interfere with your judgement at all.”

There was a strange expression on Alex’s face. He turned to Zane and said, “Didn’t you pick up your daughter? Is your daughter your blood daughter?”

Zane didn’t understand why Alex asked this question, but he hurriedly answered it, “Yes, she’s my blood daughter.”

Alex pointed at the woman. “She’s the one who gave birth to your daughter?”

Zane replied, “No, my ex-wife was the one who gave birth to her but she passed away in an accident not long after. This stinking hag was someone I got together with only last year. I didn’t expect that she would end up offending you, Mr. Rockefeller.”

Alex hummed, then said, “That’s what I thought. How could a man give birth to a child?”

Zane was startled.

Sharpay also had a confused look on her face. “Mr. Rockefeller, what do you mean by that?”

Alex pointed to the woman on the ground and said with a smile, “Director Zeigler, you’re really amazing. You don’t even know for sure whether your wife is a man or a woman.”

Zane trembled in shock “Mr. Rockefeller, I don’t understand what you mean.”

The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 738

Alex directly told him the answer. “Your wife is a man… Oh, I should say, a transsexual.”

“What?!”

Everyone was surprised, and all the eyes turned to the woman.

Zane was a little horrified as he said, “Mr. Rockefeller, this.. That’s impossible, right? Me and her… We often… Do ‘that’, and she’s completely normal. If she’s a transsexual, I’ll definitely be able to tell.”

Alex chuckled. “If it isn’t a professional inspection, you really wouldn’t be able to tell. Don’t you know there’s something called sex reassignment surgery? It could make a man be completely the same as a woman, but the only difference is that he would have no uterus, and no period, and can’t bear a child! However, a woman’s uterus still cannot be successfully transplanted with the current medical technology.”

Zane was stunned.

Thinking about it carefully, he did seem to recall that his wife never had her period.

That was horrifying.

He saw the strange gazes of the onlookers, and even the constipated look of his subordinates’ faces. He suddenly felt aggrieved, and felt like vomiting three liters worth of blood.

If that really was a man… That would be very disgusting. He hurriedly grabbed his wife’s hair, his voice was extremely fierce as he asked, “Tell me, are you a f*cking man or a woman? Are you a transsexual? If you don’t tell me the truth today, I’ll throw you into the dog farm and feed your body to the dogs.”

His wife was well aware that Zane really had a dog fighting arena. It was full of large, vicious dogs. There were breeds like Tibetan Mastiffs and Pitbull among others. Furthermore, she had seen with her own eyes when someone had been thrown in there, and torn to pieces in the end.

She would never forget that scene in her life.

Hearing that she would be thrown into the place too, she trembled and cried out, “Hubby, I… I actually had surgery when I was six years old. I would go for check ups and maintenance once in a while. Although I was not born a woman, I’m no different than other women right now, other than the fact that I can’t give birth to children. Hubby, I love you!”

Blargh!

Zane threw up.

Thinking about the wife that he had chosen very carefully but only to find out that she had actually been a man, he felt a wave of disgust wash through him.

At the moment, Zane started beating “her” up, almost killing “her”.

“Enough!” Alex said. “If you want to teach your wife a lesson, then bring her home and do it. Don’t tarnish the appearance of the city here.”

Zane hurriedly nodded. “Yes, yes, yes. Mr. Rockefeller, what you said is right.”

Then, he immediately asked his subordinates to take the transsexual away.

Everyone could already imagine there wouldn’t be any good end awaiting the woman when “she” got back. Zane then apologized to Sharpay and Adrianna before asking, “May I know what’s the relationship between you both and Mr. Rockefeller?”

Adrianna had a good head on her shoulders, so she pointed to Alex immediately and said, “He calls me Aunt.”

When Zane heard that, his heart once again jumped up into his throat in fright. “I’m really sorry. When I go back, I’ll make sure to teach that… That stinking sh*t a severe lesson. If I don’t pull out all his teeth, my surname won’t be Zeigler anymore! I’m so sorry for the damage to your car. Why don’t I give you my Rolls Royce as compensation. Treat it as I’m making amends to you.”

Adrianna and Sharpay’s eyes bulged out, stunned. Their car was at best worth two hundred thousand dollars. A Rolls Royce was worth more than ten million dollars, right?

It was a windfall for them!

Both the mother and daughter were excited. Just as they were about to nod their heads in agreement, Alex suddenly opened his mouth to say calmly, “Forget about the Rolls Royce, the earnings of their entire family are not even enough to pay for your car’s insurance and maintenance for a year. Here, leave a Porsche and get lost! Don’t stay here and obstruct the traffic.”

The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 739

Alex was actually a little disgusted when he saw the daydream-like expression on Adrianna’s face.

He had been insulted countless times by her in the past. He didn’t want to let her benefit too much from this situation for no reason. A Porsche already cost one or two million dollars, and it was already a huge bargain to repay the loss and hurt that the mother and daughter went through.

Since Alex had opened his mouth, how could Zane object?

He hurriedly left a Porsche behind, then left quickly, as though he was fleeing for his life.

Facing Alex, he felt as if his life was perilous despite staying close to the sovereign.

Adrianna could only watch the Rolls Royce slowly left her vision, she was tempted to beat her own chest. Obviously she wasn’t stupid. Between a Rolls Royce and a Porsche, she knew exactly which one was more expensive. And now, because of that bad Alex, tens of millions dollars had been reduced to one million dollars with just a word.

She really wanted to rush up at him and bite his head off. However, she didn’t dare to do so in the end.

Seeing Alex’s calm and unconcerned demeanor as if he had chased the two people away like flies, she knew that she must show extreme gratitude and be as cordial as she could. “Oh Alex, it’s all thanks to you this time. Otherwise, Sharpay and I would really have been beaten to death today.”

Alex nodded. “Don’t mention it. Do you want to head to the hospital to have your injuries treated?”

Adrianna shook her head repeatedly. “It’s fine, it’s fine. These are just some small wounds. We’ll be fine after resting at home for a few days. It would be embarrassing if we go to the hospital!”

Alex said, “Alright then. Take the Porsche as compensation today. You both can drive one of the cars each home, I’m leaving.”

He was blunt and straightforward, and turned around to head back to the taxi. The matter that had just transpired was a trivial matter to him.

Seeing that he was really leaving, Sharpay was anxious. She had finally gotten the opportunity to meet Alex, how could she let him leave just like that after saving them? She hurried forward and pulled Alex as she said, “Mr. Rockefeller, you’ve helped out family so much, let my mom and I treat you to a meal!”

Alex waved his hand. “No need, I still have something to attend to.”

“Mr. Rockefeller…” Sharpay’s voice was coquettish, and even the passer-bys who were listening couldn’t help but feel their heart melt. “My mom can’t drive, and I can’t possibly drive two cars home by myself. Why don’t… Could you help us drive one car back to our home? Also, I have a new idea about the membership module for the salon, and I want to report it to you.”

“A new idea?” Alex looked at her with a strange look on his face.

It was just that he was limited in his knowledge regarding Sharpay. He didn’t even know the university she had attended, nor the major that she studied. He saw the road was getting more congested, the drivers behind were desperately pressing the horns of their car, and some had even started to call the police to tow the cars away. He nodded. “Fine!”

Alex got into the Porsche.

Sharpay got into her own Camry, and drove all the way back to the Bellamy residence.

On the way back, Adrianna sat in the passenger seat beside Sharpay. A gloomy look was on her face as she said, “I’m so angry right now. That b*stard Rockefeller, he just deliberately made our family get nothing good. If we managed to get the Rolls Royce earlier, it would be worth at least fifteen million dollars. I’ve seen that model on the internet before. Even if we were to resell it, we could get at least ten million dollars from it. Oh great, now we only get a dilapidated Porsche that costs two million dollars at most.”

Sharpay only felt extreme satisfaction towards Alex in her heart right now.

When she heard her mother speak that way, she was unhappy and said, “Mom, you’re being too unreasonable about this. If it weren’t for Alex’s appearance today, forget about the two million dollar Porsche, our entire family would have been drowned in a river!”

Adrianna’s lips curled up. “I know that Alex has helped us out a lot today, but he also made me lose the chance to get a Rolls Royce! Can’t I just vent my anger by cursing him for a few sentences? It’s not like he can hear it anyway.”

“Even if he can’t hear it, it’s not okay. Why are you like this? You’re really someone who bites the hand that feeds them. This is a personality problem, you know? That Director Zeig whosoever originally wanted to curry favour with Alex by offering the Rolls Royce. If it weren’t for Alex, do you think he’d even offer it up? Also, Alex is right about the situation in our family. How could we afford to drive the Rolls Royce? We can’t even afford the maintenance.”

“If we can’t afford it, I can at least still sell it!”

“Are you crazy? Without the registration or insurance, how could we sell it?”

“This…”

“Mom, I’ll put it this way. Since they have given us the car today, and the matter is done and over. That car still belongs to the shareholder of Thousand Miles Conglomerate. Do you really think we’d be able to go to his house and ask him to transfer the ownership of the car? So, the only option we’d have is to drive the car ourselves until it’s ruined. It’s impossible to sell it off in the first place!”

When Adrianna heard that, she was discouraged instantly. “So, you’re saying that Alex really helped us a lot by giving us a Porsche instead.”

Sharpay said, “That’s right. If he didn’t help us, we wouldn’t even be alive right now.”

The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 740

Adrianna finally put aside her obsession with the car. She rolled her eyes and said, “I really couldn’t see it last time. Alex is actually so capable. That’s a shareholder of Thousand Miles, and he just knelt down in front of Alex so easily! Was it because he was afraid of Alex? And he even called him ‘Mr. Rockefeller’… Daughter, you must seize this chance. Later when he’s eating at our home, it’s best to get him drunk, hehehe… Claire and Dorothy that pair of stupid mother-daughter, they’ve really thrown away a gem, hoho!”

They finally arrived at Adrianna’s house.

This was a high rise community that had been built ten years ago.

Her house wasn’t big, with a total of 110 square meters. It had three bedrooms and two living rooms. After the last renovation ten years ago, many places have been damaged. Sharpay directly led Alex to her room under the guise of discussing business with him.

Alex’s sharp gaze caught sight of a lot of her underwear on the bed. However, he didn’t feel anything when he saw her room.

Compared to Dorothy and Waltz’s room, Sharpay’s room was more messy. Sharpay was obviously someone who didn’t like to clean up.

“Mr. Rockefeller, I’m very sorry. My room is relatively simple, so just have a seat on my bed!” Sharpay said. She sounded extremely coy as she murmured in a low voice, and she also deliberately pulled her collar lower.

Alex frowned and said, “No need, I’m not used to sitting on someone else’s bed. Just tell me directly if you have any idea. If you still haven’t figured the entire thing out, you can draw up a complete plan first and hand it over to me. I’ll discuss it with you once I’ve looked through it.”

He could already see through her.

This Sharpay was obviously trying to seduce him. Whatever new idea she said previously, it was most likely just an excuse.

He was prepared to leave at a moment’s notice.

Unexpectedly, Sharpay smiled and said, “Mr. Rockefeller, I’ve already drawn up a complete plan.”

“Ohh…?”

“I even printed it out for you already. I’ll bring it out for you.”

After a while, Sharpay reached for a folder under her pillow and handed it to Alex.

He opened it and looked.

The first page read “Improvement and Implementation Plan On Multi-Level Membership Model Distribution of City Salon”.

It looked formal.

Then, he flipped to the second page, which introduced the multi-level distribution details, as well as the infinite advantages of being a member. It also touched on the threshold of the entire membership network, and the breakdown of the entire network. There was also mention of online apps, three tier commission payouts and so on.

Alex read it for a while, gradually becoming immersed in it.

Not knowing how long he had been reading, he closed the document and looked at Sharpay with a little surprised expression on his face. “You came up with this by yourself?”

Sharpay nodded. “That’s right, I did it alone! Actually, I wanted to use this plan in my father’s company. Unfortunately, his company’s products don’t have any competitiveness at all. However, our products are different, especially Lush Cosmetics. If the amount of products we have ain’t so little, we’d definitely be able to implement this plan.”

“What did you study?” Alex asked.

“Marketing.” Sharpay replied.

“Very good! Then, I’ll just tell you upfront now. We’re going to be expanding Lush Cosmetics. The amount of products will not be a problem, especially since there will be a new product that won’t have any bottleneck in production. Go and study this multi-level distribution plan of yours more thoroughly, and you’ll be the person in charge when the time comes. If you need people or money, just let me know. If you do it well, I’ll give you shares.”

“Really? That’s great!”

After that, Adrianna actually came to tell them that she had prepared a meal and invited Alex to dine with them. Seeing that it was about time for dinner and that it was difficult to refuse the hospitality shown by the mother-daughter pair, Alex accepted and stayed for dinner.

It was just, Alex discovered that a woman’s foot had actually creeped up onto his thigh while he was eating. Glancing down, he noted that it was a small, slender foot with flower prints on the toenails.

It was Sharpay who was doing some hanky-panky under the table.
