Ch. 961..970
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 961
Alex was seated with his back against the door, so he didn’t see Claire when she first came in. Except that Carey, who was sitting opposite him, saw her first.
With a frown, she said, “Waitress, if there’s nothing else, stay outside first! Don’t bother us eating and chatting here.”
It was all because Claire was wearing a red and black traditional dress. The style was very similar to the ones that the waitresses in South Cali Dining wore. I’m why Carey thought she was a waitress.
Claire almost threw up blood on the spot from the indignance she felt.
This woman dared to treat her as a waitress? Was there something wrong with her eyes?! But, she remembered what Adrianna’s friend had said, that this woman was from the Stoermer family in Michigan, and the fact that she was someone of high authority and should not be offended.
Thus, she suppressed the rage she felt in her heart and said, “I’m not a waitress. I’m his former mother-in-law.”
As she said that, she pointed at Alex. When he heard the voice, Alex almost got a heart attack.
The red wine he had just drunk went down the wrong way, and he almost choked to death.
Daya quickly picked up a napkin for Alex and helped wipe the liquid off Alex as she gently asked, “Are you alright? Is anything wrong?”
“I’m fine, I’m fine!”
Alex calmed his mind and thought, ‘How could an insane person like Claire show up suddenly? I came from Divine Constabulary. It’s impossible that she followed me. Then, there’s only one possibility, that she must also be here for a meal. Does that mean Dorothy is also here?’
When he thought of that, he felt like he was in a difficult situation.
Although no one else knew, he was well aware that his divorce with Dorothy was basically a farce, and this woman was still his mother-in-law.
He asked, “Why are you here?”
Claire sneered at him. “Why can’t I be here? Of course, you hope I wouldn’t be here so that no one will be able to reveal your wicked and deceitful nature to deceive women. I came here to let everyone know what kind of person you really are.”
Then, she looked towards Carey and pointed at Alex, and said, “Madam, I’m this guy’s former mother-in-law, and I’m well aware of his nature. He’s a waste of space specializing in relying on his wife to get on in life. He also relies exclusively on women to get rich. Did you think the only woman he has is your daughter?”
“Wrong, the number of women he has is numerous. Just a few days ago, I saw him with a female doctor making out on the streets. You can have it checked out. It’s the daughter of California’s miracle doctor. Her family name is Coney.”
“Besides, Thousand Miles Conglomerate’s current president has also been deceived by him to the ends of the earth. He uses her, and she isn’t even aware of it. She even feels grateful to him, thinking that he has helped her!”
“There’s also another one, his former senior, as well as my daughter’s former subordinate… Anyway, the point is that he’s the trashiest among the trash, the worst scumbag of all scumbags. He’s not worthy of your daughter at all. If your daughter goes with him, she will definitely regret it.”
After Claire finished, she looked at Alex with a sinister and gleeful expression on her face. She was determined not to let Alex have a good life.
After relying on his former wife to live his life, he now wanted to jump into Michigan’s Stoermer family to do the same thing, to become the grandson-in-law of a marquis? Dream on!
‘I will tear down all your lies and expose you for who you are today! In front of everyone! They were dignified people and from a royal family, and they’d definitely want to keep their image and reputation intact. They wouldn’t agree to have you as their son-in-law after hearing all those, and they’d be angry and probably even point their pitchforks at you…’
‘Hehe, are you riding on a high horse now? Just because you built up Lush Cosmetics, you think you’ve turned the tables on your fortune? Hasn’t Brittany been arrogant and looked down on everyone? Then, go ahead and fight against a royal family! I doubt any of you could!’
‘If you can survive, then I’ll worship you!’
She sneered in her heart and even wanted to laugh loudly. Her plan this time really was just too great
‘If you had to blame someone, you can only blame yourself, Alex. For wanting to climb up the ranks of the royal family, you’ll be just digging your own grave.’
However, just when Claire was celebrating silently, a triumphant expression on her face as she waited for Carey to jump up and start yelling at Alex, the other woman didn’t do that at all.
In fact, Carey just gave Claire an icy look, exuding a clear but invisible aura of rage. “Are you done? If so, then hurry up and get lost. Also, shut the door on the way out. You’re not welcome here by anybody.”
‘What?!’
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 962
Claire’s gloating sneer vanished slowly, and she doubted that she had heard right. “What did you just say?”
“I said,” Carey repeated coldly, “Get! Lost!”
Claire heard it clearly this time. Not only was she dumbfounded, but she flew into a mighty rage!
With her kind of temper, was it possible to even hold it in?
Of course not!
“Sigh, I say, a person like you… Why can’t you see reason? I’ve come here to inform you about this kindly, and not only did you not listen, but you’re even chasing me out? He’s a shameless scumbag, and you still want your daughter to go with him? Are you really her mother? You can’t actually be her stepmother, right? And you wish that she would marry a liar like him?”
If it was anyone else that Claire had said these words to, the other person would have already lashed out.
Carey, however, was still the daughter-in-law of a royal family. She had been ingrained with aristocratic etiquette since she was a child. A true educated noble, asking her to raise her hand to hit someone really wasn’t something she could do.
Claire, too, wasn’t worthy of her lifting her hands.
Carey stood up and said, “Firstly, your daughter and Alex have already divorced. Your family has nothing to do with him now, and it’s not your place to care about his affairs.”
“Second, I know better than you what kind of person Alex is. I don’t need you to be giving me advice.”
“Third, even if he has a hundred women, what about it? I definitely want a man like that as my son-in-law! You treat him like trash because you are blind, but in my eyes, he’s a hidden gem! I, Carey Stoermer, will use everything in my life to love, protect and cherish him instead of driving him away.”
The words she said were quite cheesy.
In Alex’s ears, though, it sounded pretty enjoyable. More importantly, compared to the two mothers-in-law, he didn’t feel a lick of warmth from Claire, and everything she had to say about him was negative.
Claire was rooted to the spot, her entire body stiff. This had not gone the way she had imagined. Something couldn’t have been wrong with their heads, right?
At this moment, Xyla, another woman seated in the room, spoke. “If I recall correctly, you went to City Salon and Alex’s villa and caused a ruckus there a few days ago, asking him to remarry your daughter. Your purpose of doing that is because you want his property, right? At that time, you didn’t seem to mind so much about him being a scumbag?”
Xyla served as Alex’s secretary.
Finding out all these little things was a breeze for her.
“I…” Claire didn’t expect that others would know in detail what she had really done.
“Your proposal for their remarriage failed, and now you’ve come to complain in front of our Stoermer family because you want to use our power to destroy Alex’s business? No matter what it is, you were still once his mother-in-law. As far as I know, the fact that your family now controls the entire Assex Group is all thanks to Alex. He also bought the villa that you live in. Otherwise, your family would have nothing left early on.”
“Even so, after they had divorced, you’re still trying to bring him down with all these petty, underhanded tricks? Please tell me, where is your conscience? What about your outlook on morality? How do you even sleep at night?”
By the time Carey was done talking, Claire had already retreated to the door, her face pale, and even her legs were shaking.
Just then, some security guards passed by.
Calling out, Xyla said, “Security, please throw out this woman from god knows where.”
Just then, a beautiful figure appeared behind Claire and reached out to hold the older woman’s waist. Her voice was cold as she said, “My mother is not someone you can simply toss out.”
It was Dorothy.
This was the first time Dorothy and Daya met face to face, and sparks flew in the air when they looked at each other!
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 963
As Dorothy and Daya were looking at each other, none of them gave way. The Coleman family from Missouri’s grand elder, Terrace Coleman, as well as Byakko from the Four Great Princesses, had come to the front of Maple Villa 8.
“Grand Elder, this is the place where Alex lives,” Byakko said. “Should I ring the doorbell?”
“Ring the doorbell?” The grand elder sneered. “Did we come here as guests?”
Up on saying that, he raised his foot and kicked fiercely on the big iron gate of the villa.
Boom!
It was as loud as an explosion.
The two large iron gates weighed over two hundred pounds. Under his destructive power as a Grandmaster, it violently ripped itself off the fence and flew in the air, passing the courtyard’s tens of meters before slamming heavily into the villa. The door and windows were shattered, and even the walls were cracked.
Byakko was secretly stunned.
It was hard to believe that the power of a Grandmaster could be so frightening. Here, a single individual was comparable to an entire army!
Thud, thud!
The grand elder took the lead and walked forward.
At the same time, Hailey happened to return home with Zoey after having a meal outside. As she came to a stop in front of her own villa, she heard a loud noise coming from Alex’s unit and was startled.
This was especially true for Zoey, who was seated in the safety seat. Her face had gone pale with fright.
It sounded as if thunder had blasted the ground!
Hailey hurriedly got out of the car to look, only to find a man and a woman walking. She saw that the Villa’s main gates, the doors, windows, and walls included, looked as if they had been rammed through by a bulldozer. Now, it was beyond recognition.
“Who are you people?!” she asked, furious.
Maple Villa 8 originally belonged to her, and it was later given to Alex as a gift. However, she was very attached to the plants, trees, walls, and everything else here. Seeing it destroyed under her nose, how could she not feel extreme distress and anger at the damage?
Terrance glared at her, a cold, indifferent look in his eyes. It looked as though he was looking at something as insignificant as an ant. He wasn’t even interested in talking to her.
Byakko sneered coldly. “This has nothing to do with you. If you don’t want to die, get lost.”
Hailey could tell that the two’s intentions were not good, but how could she just watch as Alex’s home was invaded and destroyed by the two? In addition, Maple Villa had been built by her husband, and the security guards here were very responsible. With such a big commotion, she was sure that they’d be arriving soon.
Thus, with a little more confidence in her heart, she said, “What do you mean, nothing to do with me? This is my brother’s house. Who the heck are you people, and what are you doing here? I’m telling you that this is private property. There will be penalties for trespassing and deliberately destroying private property.”
“This is your brother’s house?”
Terrance, who hadn’t been bothered to talk, now turned around to look at Hailey. “Alex is your brother?”
Hailey felt a little nervous at the gaze he was throwing at her.
It was then that she noticed the security guards running over from a distance. “That’s right! My brother is really powerful. I’d advise you to apologize and compensate for the damages. If he gets angry, you’ll have to bear the consequences yourself,” she said in adamance.
“Powerful?”
Terrance sneered, then reached out with his hand to grab the air.
Suddenly, Hailey felt an invisible force dragging her forward. Then, her neck was grasped by Terrance’s hand, and she was lifted into the air.
The intense feeling of suffocation forced her into a desperate struggle. A great sense of fear welled up within her.
‘I… Am I going to die?’
Zoey had unfastened her own seatbelt after Hailey left the car and had gotten down herself. She ran over and found that her mother was being lifted into the air by an old man. Despite her young age, she instantly rushed forward, crying and screaming, “Let go of my mom, let go of my mom! You big villain, I’ll bludgeon you to death…”
But how could such tiny fists like hers shake a mountain like Terrence?
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 964
Zoey was anxious when she saw her mother still being held in the air, so she chewed down violently on Terrance’s thigh.
“Hmph!”
The grand elder let out a cold snort and lightly released a burst of energy outwards. The burst shook off Zoey’s two front teeth.
Her petite body also flew backward, and she hit the ground rolling. She came to a stop in the flowerbed nearby, bleeding from her head as she fell unconscious.
“Ahhh!” Hailey let out a scream, bursting out in unprecedented power, and kicked Terrance in his crotch.
“Ugh!”
Though the kick wasn’t enough to send his balls flying, he didn’t have the power of the Mystic armor that Alex had, and he was completely defenseless.
Because in his eyes, Hailey was just an insignificant ant. However, he forgot that even an ant bite would hurt if it were at that place.
‘Damn it!’ Terrance cursed in his heart. He then gripped Hailey’s neck and smashed her to the ground. Having no intentions of killing Hailey, he didn’t exert much force. Otherwise, even ten of her wouldn’t be enough for him to smash.
Despite that, Hailey’s left leg was still bent and broke. Her knee was fractured and dislocated, and her entire leg was bent at an unnatural angle.
The pain was so intense that Hailey screamed and cried. But, what she was more concerned about now was her daughter. With gritted teeth and tears flowing down her face, she tried her best to ignore her own pain and crawled over like a maniac to the girl, pulling her into her arms.
“Zoey, Zoey, don’t scare mummy. Wake up, wake up! Ahhh! Help!”
Byakko, who stood at the side, glared at Terrance and couldn’t bear it anymore.
Hailey was just an ordinary woman, after all, and Zoey was just a child around the age of five or six. She gritted her teeth and rushed forward. “Let me see!”
Terrance gave Byakko a cold look and snorted.
“Get away! Get away!”
Hailey’s body was trembling, the panic she felt in her heart reaching its peak. Her daughter was her life and blood. The girl had just been singing ‘Mother is the only one who’s good in the world’ a moment ago. Now, this happened.
She covered the wound on her daughter’s forehead, not allowing Byakko to touch it.
“If you don’t let me touch her, she might die from blood loss,” Byakko said.
Without waiting for Hailey to agree, Byakko reached out to snatch Zoey from her arms and tapped a few acupoints. Seeing that the situation was fine, she was relieved.
Terrance said coldly, “Why do you care about an ant, Byakko?”
Byakko hugged Zoey to her chest. “Grand Elder, she’s still a child.”
“Hmph. Don’t forget we’re here to exterminate his family. She will just die later even though you save her now.”
While they were talking, the security guards running from the distance had finally arrived. When they saw the scene, they were shocked.
“Miss Hailey, are you alright?”
“What happened? Who are you, people?”
Terrance waved his hand slightly, and the two security guards who had rushed over were slammed backward as though they had been hit by a speeding car. One of them was more unlucky, as his neck pierced through an erected iron rod on the side, and he was left there, hanged.
He had lost his life in an instant.
Not batting an eyelid, Terrance said to Hailey, “Your brother isn’t here. Now, give him a call.”
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 965
When Alex saw Dorothy appear in the room and faced Daya for the first time, he felt a huge headache coming on. The extremely frosty look on Dorothy’s face made him feel especially uneasy.
He wasn’t sure if he was thinking too much, but ever since the divorce, and although they two had finally broken through, reaching the point where they joined flesh and spirit, where they should have been a step closer than before, it seemed to have had the opposite effect, creating a wall between them instead. They were supposed to be each other’s closest person, but it felt like their souls were not close at all.
For example, now, the frosty look on Dorothy’s face made it seem like she had an aura around her that wouldn’t stand to be questioned.
“Cough. Dorothy, it’s actually like this…”
Just as Alex was about to speak, his phone rang.
He was quietly overjoyed when it happened, and thought to himself, ‘This phone call came just at the right time. No matter who it was, I can leave once I pick it up. I really have to show my thanks to this person properly. This call is a real life-saver!’
When he looked at the caller, he found that it was Hailey.
‘Oh my, oh my. Sister Hailey, I really love you to death.’
He picked up the call immediately. “Sister Hailey! calling me at this time… Anything urgent?”
But what came from the other side was the voice of an old man.
“Rockefeller, your sister is in my hands. Whether she lives or dies depends on what you do in the next moments.”
Woosh!
Alex’s brain felt like it was about to explode the moment he heard that. The embarrassed, frustrated demeanor that he had displayed just a moment ago vanished instantly, replaced by a sharp aura that was like a drawn blade.
A murderous look appeared on his face. “Who are you?”
“Hahaha! Forgotten an old man so soon? When you were in the Stoermer residence in Michigan, weren’t you just so arrogant? Didn’t you put on a good show, showing that you can summon thousands of thunder gods? This old man will give you a chance. I’m outside your house right now. Come and kill me with your thunder. If you can’t, then I’ll exterminate your entire family.”
“You… You’re Terrance Coleman?”
“That’s right, it’s me. I’ll give you half an hour, if you don’t reach within that time, your sister will lose her life. If you’re still not here after forty minutes, then her daughter will also die.”
When Alex heard that, the anger welling in his chest became extremely intense. He gritted his teeth and hissed, “You’ve even grabbed Zoey?!”
“Heh heh, you don’t believe me? Come here, say something to your sister, then.”
Very soon, Alex could hear Hailey’s screams. It was from Terrance kicking her broken leg. How could an ordinary woman like her endure such pain?
Then, Hailey’s cries came. “Brother, they’ve hurt Zoey. Zoey hit her head on the flower bed, and there’s a lot of blood. She won’t wake up… What do we do? He’s really powerful, and he said he’s going to destroy you. Y-Y-You better not come… Ahhh!”
There was a scream. Hailey had obviously been beaten up again.
Boom!
Almost instantly, the murderous aura leaked out from Alex.
When the aura burst out, the first thing to bear the brunt was the table next to him. It failed to withstand the blow and even the dishes on it were thrown through the air.
It stunned everyone in the room.
“Terrance Coleman, you listen to me. If anything happens to them, I swear, I will uproot your entire Coleman family, and not even a single piece of sh*t will be left behind.”
The call ended, and Daya nervously asked, “Was that the grand elder, Terrance Coleman? Has he come looking for you?”
Alex’s eyes were as sharp as knives. “I’m leaving.”
Daya said, “I’ll go with you, I can help.”
“No need, you stay here.”
He turned to look at Dorothy, locking gazes with her for two seconds. Then, he immediately activated his fast speed and was about to leave when Dorothy suddenly reached out to grab him.
“Huh… ?”
“Don’t push yourself too hard. Safety first.”
There are thousands of words in that beautiful eyes of hers as she looked at Alex.
Alex nodded, then rushed out of the restaurant in a blink of an eye.
Claire was momentarily surprised. She didn’t know exactly what in the world just happened, but she could guess that Alex had probably met with some trouble.
She gloated at his misfortune. “Heh heh, this guy must have stepped on somebody’s shoes, why do you care about him anyway? He’s such an ungrateful ingrate, and if he dies, I’m sure it’s because he deserves it.”
Dorothy looked at her mother indifferently, “I suddenly remember that I have something to do at the company, so I’ll be leaving first. You can tell Aunt that.”
“Sigh, you…”
However, Dorothy turned around and really left, just like that, seemingly very frustrated with her own mother.
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 966
“Mom, I’m worried about him. I want to go and see,” Daya said to Carey. That was a Grandmaster from the Coleman family, and now he has hostages in his hand.
“I’ll go with you,” said Carey.
Alex had gotten involved with the Coleman family of Missouri because of the Stoermer family of Michigan, so how could she just stand by and watch?
Thus, the three women of the Stoermer family left as well.
Only Claire was left behind looking at the mess on the ground, filled with bafflement.
Woosh!
With a flash, Alex appeared in Maple Villa.
After he activated his ‘flash-mode,’ he was even faster than an F1 racing car. Running that quickly on the city road, no one could even make out his face, and all they could see was the gust of wind he left behind.
He didn’t even need half an hour.
In less than ten minutes, he arrived at Maple Villa 8. When he saw how beaten Hailey looked on the ground, with her broken bone protruding from her flesh and blood dripping everywhere, he could feel the seething rage boiling in his heart.
God d*mn it!
Then, he saw the security guard’s body hanging on the iron pole and Zoey, unconscious, in Byakko’s arms. After a long look, he found that Zoey had two broken ribs apart from her head injury. She was slightly concussed and had been unconscious the entire time.
‘To land such heavy blows on a child… God d*mn it!’
“Boy, you’re here so quickly! ” said Terrance from a chair he had sat in.
The chair had, of course, been taken from inside the villa. Its gates had long been kicked down.
Alex blinked. The bloodthirst in his heart had reached its peak.
Even the Milky Way and the highest heaven couldn’t wash away the anger he felt. Nonetheless, his face showed nothing that betrayed his feelings. “Shouldn’t you be happy that I came so soon? This way, you can meet Hades even faster!”
In the Purple Court, one of the 36 True Dragon Swords began to stir restlessly.
Facing a Grandmaster, it was impossible for Alex to rely on The Force or Thunder Palm purely. The only way he could possibly score a victory was to catch the old man off-guard and launch a sneak attack using the 36 True Dragon Swords.
It was unfortunate that the 36 True Dragon Swords could only be used in the Divine Transcendence realm. Before this, he had used a secret method to raise his level temporarily, and even then, he could only use one of the Dragon Bone Swords. And despite all that, he had to pay a severe price with the backlash he got.
“Hehehe… You put on a show to deceive this old man the last time. Do you think I’d fall for the same trick?”
“Fine. This time, don’t run away like a dog with its tail between its legs!”
Alex raised his hand, then stomped his foot down fiercely. “Thunder, come!”
At the same time, a translucent bone sword was hiding within his palm. He was prepared to use the Dragon Bone Sword and the Thunder Palm Mantra to kill the other.
The Thunder Palm Mantra was just a distraction. The real ultimate move would be the Dragon Bone Sword.
But unexpectedly, before the thunder mantra could take effect, Terrance suddenly grabbed Zoey and held her out in front of him. He roared with laughter as he said, “Did you think that a Grandmaster like myself would really fight against you? You’re too naive!”
“Didn’t you know how noble a Grandmaster’s status was?”
The Colemans in Missouri needed him as a master of the family, so how could he take such risks?
“Now, kneel. Be the lapdog of the Missouri Colemans, and I will let her go.”
“What?” Alex was startled, his eyes nearly bursting out from their sockets from anger. “How despicable you are… A disgrace to the status of a Grandmaster!”
“Hahaha, will you kneel or not?”
Terrance placed a palm on top of Zoey’s head. All it needed was a burst of inner strength from his palm, and Zoey’s little life would vanish in an instant.
Hailey, who had been watching the entire scene unfolding before her, finally couldn’t take it anymore. She fell into a deathly faint.
What should he do?
He couldn’t just watch Zoey get killed in front of his eyes!
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 967
“What the hell?”
“What’s going on?”
Terrance was dumbfounded, and Alex was also in the same state. It had happened so suddenly that he didn’t even see what had happened. However, the golden feathered arrow was a tricky shot, and it had hit an essential acupoint on Terrance’s right shoulder. It had broken all of the meridians in that arm.
In a split second, the hand he had placed on Zoey’s head had been rendered useless. It was impossible for him to kill Zoey with a single blow now.
Alex’s first thought was to turn around and see where the golden feathered arrow had come from, but then, a woman’s clear, cold mythical voice floated into his ears. “What are you waiting for? Hurry up and save her!”
Alex quivered and regained his senses immediately.
The power of thunder broke out in both his legs, and his body blurred, turning into a stream of light that shot toward Terrance.
Terrance felt an intense pain in his shoulder, and his right arm became useless. However, he was still a Grandmaster, and he had a high level of martial arts and cultivation skills. Alex couldn’t see who had shot the arrow, but he could.
It was a young woman in black.
She stood up in the big tree by the entrance of Maple Villa 8, holding an oddly shaped bow in her hands.
‘Who is that? What a terrifying aura… And exceptional skills with the bow!’
‘Could it be that woman who called down the hundreds of thousands of thunderbolts? Wasn’t that all just an illusion? Could the monks from Sky Mortals have been wrong, and it wasn’t an illusion, but a real person?!’
Terrance was shocked. The veins on his forehead were throbbing. When he thought about this possibility, he couldn’t help but regret and panic.
He then saw Alex sprinting towards him, and the old man let out a roar.
He lifted Zoey high in the air with his left hand, throwing her forcefully toward Alex. The life of a tiny, five year old served as a flesh shield for him, completely exposing his cruel, vicious nature.
Woosh!
There was another burst of golden light.
It was the woman behind that had once again shot an arrow, aiming straight for the area between Terrance’s eyebrows.
It was a pity that Terrance was ready for it this time. He had his eyes on the woman he assumed to be Alex’s master and didn’t place any significance on Alex himself.
He had just tasted the power of the golden feathered arrow. To say that the arrow could pierce through diamonds was not an exaggeration. It also came with a very powerful destructive power.
He didn’t dare to face it head on.
But as a Grandmaster, avoiding it wasn’t impossible. He lowered his head, and the golden feathered arrow flew over, grazing his scalp along with n intense killing intent in it. It felt like the arrow had broken the sound barrier, faster than the speed of sound.
‘I dodged it!’ Terrance’s scalp hurt, but his heart hurt even more.
From a head on confrontation, he could roughly gauge the women’s strength. In terms of martial arts, it may be on the same level as him. She held a bow as her weapon, and it wasn’t like it was all that powerful, as long as…
Just as the thought entered his mind…
Whoosh!
He felt like a heavy hammer had come down on his head.
For a moment, even his soul trembled, and he was dumbfounded.
It was Alex who had launched a stronger than usual mental attack with the help of the holy pearl in his upper energy core.
The Dragon Bone Sword in his hand also shot out in that instant. It turned into a stream of air, instantly piercing through the center of Terrance’ s eyebrows.
At the exact moment, another golden feathered arrow flew and hit Terrance in his neck.
Snap!
Alex grabbed Terrance’s arm and gathered the unconscious Zoey into his arms. As for Terrance, all movement had stopped at this time.
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 968
The battle was over.
It was only then that Alex turned around to look. He found a young woman standing on the treetops like an ancient chivalrous lady. She was dressed in black and looked to be in her early thirties. She looked delicate and well rounded, a definite peerless beauty in this generation. Except, her expressions were frigid.
“Thank you for helping me, Senior.”
Unexpectedly, the woman notched and shot an arrow directly at him.
The lighting fast golden feathered arrow was coated with dense Chi as it pierced through the air. Alex’s eyes widened, and his spiritual power burst forth, automatically activating his Mystic armor. The arrow seemed to slow down in his eyes drastically, and he could tell its trajectory.
‘It isn’t aimed at me!’ he immediately deduced.
The golden feathered arrow grazed his shoulder, hitting Byakko with a ‘thud.’
It had shot through his calf.
Apparently, when Byakko saw the grand elder killed, she knew that the situation was terrible. She had almost escaped, only to be hit by an arrow shot by the young woman in black. Then, she fell to the ground.
“Zoey!”
Alex held Zoey in his arms, and he could tell that she was in a bad condition. The treatment she needed couldn’tbe delayed any longer. On the contrary, Hailey only had a broken leg. Even if her entire knee had rotted off, he was confident he could still heal her.
However, Zoey had hit her head. Considering how young she was, there was no time to waste.
“Senior, in order to save her, I need to save her right away. Could you… Could you stand to watch for a while?” Alex asked the young female archer who had yet to alight the tree. Although he didn’t know who she was, she was most likely not an enemy as she had helped him.
More importantly, he felt a distinctive familiarity between them.
It’s just that he couldn’t remember where he had felt it before. Typically, it was hard to forget such a cold beauty of this level. But even after searching all his memories, Alex had not seen such a person before.
It was bizarre.
“Alright!” The young woman spoke. Her voice was clear and cold but sounded beautiful. It felt like it could impregnate your ears when you heard her say.
After she spoke, Alex saw her body falling lightly to the ground despite making no movements. She floated down to the ground like a real mysterious being, like a deity descending into the mortal realm.
Alex gave her a deep look, then ran as quickly as he could into the villa with Zoey securely in his amis. Soon, Alex used his own blood to draw 32 Zharvakko talismans on the ground and carefully placed Zoey in the middle of them.
But just as he was about to activate it, dizziness swam through his head.
‘Not good! The consequences of forcibly improving my level have arrived!’
Alex’s heart thumped wildly in his chest. To be honest, he wasn’t entirely sure how big a scale the backlash would be. The next second, though, he felt a sharp pain shoot through his organs, as though they were being moved and twisted around. Then, his heart thumped, and a wave of fresh blood poured out, one that he couldn’t control.
“Blargh…”
He turned around immediately, not allowing the blood to destroy the Zharvakko talismans that he had drawn. The Chi in his body was also reducing rapidly.
He hurriedly grabbed a handful of Blood Pulls and swallowed them before condensing his spiritual power and shooting it out toward the talismans on the ground.
“Zharvakko Rejuvenation, activate!”
Outside, the young woman heard the movement and had rushed in. When she saw Alex in such a state, she was taken aback. She shouted in a cold voice, “Are you looking for death? You’re already in such a state, yet you still dare to save people?”
Alex ignored her.
Zoey had to be fine, or he would feel the guilt eating away at him for the remainder of his life. And he wouldn’t be able to face Charles or Hailey.
Seeing how Alex was still pushing himself, the young woman stomped her foot and bit her red, plump lips. Then, she placed a palm on his back, and a vast wave of unmatched spiritual power frantically gushed into Alex’s body.
Alex was shocked, an incredulous look on his face as he turned to look at the young woman. “You’re really strong in cultivation, senior. Have… Have we met somewhere?”
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 969
The cold eyes of the young woman in black followed him for a few seconds before she opened her mouth. “I’ve seen you. But, you’ve never seen me.”
“Huh…”
Alex was stunned.
But then, Zoey was now critical. The Zharvakko talismans seemed to have come to life, forming a brilliant blood red trail and was rushing into her tiny little body. The broken ribs and the wounds on her body started closing up right before their eyes.
And the wound on her head also knitted back together very quickly.
With the young woman in black’s help, Alex spent only three minutes healing Zoey’s wounds.
“Cough, cough!”
Zoey had woken up, and her eyes snapped open. She began yelling anxiously, “Let go of my mommy! Let my mommy go…”
The little girl’s memories still lingered when her mother was being lifted into the air by Terrance. Then, when she saw that it was Alex in front of her eyes, she cried out and threw herself into his arms. “Uncle, Uncle Alex! You’re finally here! Sob… sob… Mommy is getting bullied by a big Villain! Hurry and save Mommy. She’s suffering so much and can’t breathe…”
Alex hugged the child and said, “It’s fine, it’s okay now. Your mom… She’s fine now.”
She asked in that child-like voice of hers, “Where’s Mommy?”
“She’s outside, I’m going to… ” Alex started saying.
But before he could finish speaking, Zoey had run out.
However, Terrance’s corpse was still lying outside. If she saw such a scene, it would definitely have a negative impact on that little heart of hers and would cut a huge psychological scar in her mind. Alex hurriedly reached out to grab Zoey.
But the backlash he felt was too severe. Not only did he fail to catch Zoey, but he slipped and fell to the ground.
It was the young woman in black who took action, lightly tapping Zoey’s acupoint and putting her to sleep.
Seeing that the Zharvakko talismans on the ground could still be used, he asked the young woman if she could bring Hailey, who had fainted outside, in so that he could treat her.
The young woman snorted coldly. “At the state you’re in, you can’t even stand on your own legs, and you still want to save others? What are you thinking? Do you want to throw away your life? No, you’re not allowed to treat her!”
“That…”
“She just has flesh wounds… She won’t die even if treatment is delayed for a few days.”
“Then, I… Will treat her a little bit first. Otherwise, it will leave a scar, and her leg will be useless.”
That was a normal request.
He didn’t expect the young woman to sneer suddenly. “Why are you so anxious? Could it be that you’re in love with her?”
“Ugh… She’s my f*cking sister! How could that be possible?”
“F*cking sister? Or a sister you’re f*cking? Which one is it?”
Alex gave the young woman a strange look for a while. He thought that this young woman had been amazing, and the main point was that she had come to his rescue at a critical moment. He was grateful toward her, but as she talked, it seemed that her words were very spiteful, words that would make anyone who heard it uncomfortable.
The important point here was that he wasn’t familiar with her at all.
Under Alex’s gaze, the young woman went out and brought Hailey in.
But just then, the three women from the Stoermer family had also arrived in a white Mercedes Benz in a rush. Daya, Xyla, and Carey all got down from the car, stunned by the Villa’s appearance. They then got a good look at Terrance’s corpse before Xyla exclaimed in surprise, “That’s Terrance Coleman, the grand elder of the Coleman family! He’s… dead?!”
“Hubby?!”
Daya was most concerned about Alex, instantly looking around to search for him before running into the villa. When she saw Alex still alive inside, she breathed a sigh of relief.
“Hubby! Thank goodness you’re fine.”
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 970
“Daya? Why are you here?” asked Alex.
“I was worried about you?” Daya saw Hailey lying in the formation on the ground. She knew about Hailey, where she had met her before, and knew that Hailey was Alex’s godsister. “What’s wrong with Sister Hailey? Is she okay?”
“It’s fine. I’ll start treating her for a bit. Take care of Zoey for me.”
“Alright, Hubby.”
At this time, the young woman in black gave a cold look to Daya and sneered suddenly, “Hubby? He doesn’t seem to be your husband? Are you even qualified to call him ‘Hubby’?”
“This…”
The words the young woman in black spoke made Daya flush with embarrassment. “Y-You… Who are you?”
“You’re not qualified to know who I am,” the young woman replied.
Then, she snorted coldly at Alex. “You, Rockefeller brat. Your parents have yet to be avenged, and you haven’t even found out your own background. Is there any point, spending all day bathing in the arms of women? If I were your mother, I’d give you a big slap to wake you up! Also, what’s the point of keeping these women around you who bring nothing but trouble? It’s not every time there will be someone to save you.”
Alex looked embarrassed. “Senior, how do you know so much about me? If I might ask, what is your family name?”
“My surname is Rockefeller.” The young woman said coldly.
“What?” Alex was shocked.
“You can call me… Aunt!”
“What?!”
Alex jumped up, shock and disbelief written all over his face. He hurriedly asked, “You… You’re my father’s sister? Where is he now?”
“Ask that to yourself!” The young woman said. “If you have the capabilities, then look for it yourself! But looking at you, you’re more obsessed with women. You’re a waste of space. At this rate, It’ll be tough for you to find your father in your entire lifetime!”
After a pause, she said, “I’m leaving. I’ll be taking the woman outside with me!”
As she said that, she raised a hand, and a Dragon Bone Sword stabbed into the ground next to Alex.
When his aunt had been picking up her own golden feathered arrows, she had also grabbed Alex’s Dragon Bone sword and was now returning it to him.
Alex wanted to ask the young woman in black to stay and thoroughly ask her about his own father and the relationship between her and his father. However, Hailey’s treatment was still more critical, and he couldn’t just pull himself away for the time being, and so he could only watch as she left.
“Ah, wait! Senior, Aunt! Leave a number for me!” He cried out.
“I don’ t have one!”
Aunt Rockefeller threw those cold words out, not even bothered with Xyla or Carey as she left the house. She directly went towards Byakko, picked her up, and then walked away from Maple Villa 8 with graceful, light footsteps.
Ten minutes later, Hailey’s severely injured knee had recovered by half. As long as she properly took care of it and recuperate, there wouldn’t be any repercussions. Also, Alex would definitely treat her again later, so there was no need to worry.
When she woke up, she hugged Zoey to her chest, tears in her eyes.
“Hu… Alex,” Daya said. “The death of the grand elder of the Colemans in Missouri will definitely cause a huge chain reaction. Once the Coleman family learns of this, I’m afraid they’ll go nuts.”
She had wanted to call him ‘Hubby,’ but after getting chastised by that Aunt Rockefeller, she suddenly felt embarrassed calling him that.
“The Missouri Colemans!”
Alex’s face darkened. Terrance Coleman had come all the way to his door, threatening to kill his entire family. The bottom line was, he didn’t even let off a small child like Zoey. If he didn’t get his vengeance for this, then he wasn’t a man.
“With Terrance dead, there’s no longer a Grandmaster sitting at the top of the Missouri Colemans. Is the Stoermer family interested?” he asked and looked toward Xyla.
Daya wasn’t very sure about the happenings within the Michigan Stoermers, but because Xyla was the daughter of Zayn, she definitely knew what was going on.
Her eyes lit up. “I’ll contact my father right away!”
