Why would Michelle want Alex to accompany her to an auction of medicinal herbs?

That was because during the period of time, the Yowell family had been mobilizing their people to gather the medicinal herbs requested by Alex. Yet, a few precious herbs slipped through their grasp.

She heard that a good number of century-old medicinal herbs would be auctioned in this particular auction, so she had to check it out.

As for the herbs’ efficacy, only Alex knew best.

Alex was thrilled. Just moments ago, he was told by Waltz that Pepper Kimmich would be attending the auction of medicinal herbs, and now Michelle came to invite him to it. Everything just happened according to his wish.

That being said…

“Are you the only one left? Why did the Yowell family send you, a little girl, instead?” replied Alex indifferently.

“Little girl? I am not little!”

“Um, indeed you aren’t.”

Alex had to concur with her. There was a reason that she was known to have a youthful face with huge busts. If a matu

    “So close, yet so far. I am almost there, though.” She started jumping around like an energetic maniac, running toward Alex and kissed him suddenly.Brittany was initially in her room on the second floor but came out after hearing Waltz’s voices. She just saw the scene unfolding in front of her eyes as she looked down from the helical staircase.Gently shaking her head, she retreated into her room.…Alex headed to the auction of precious medicinal herbs by himself at half-past five. The auction was held in the form of a cocktail party on the highest floor of California’s Splendor Center.He entered the auction hall without any hiccups after mentioning Michelle’s name at the entrance.At this moment at the entrance of Splendor Center, a group of young men and women were chatting among themselves as they entered the building. Among them was a young lady in a white dress, she was Alex’s sister-in-law — Beatrice Assex.The other three were the ones that Alex saw back at the car dea

    Alex stole a glimpse at Beatrice for a second, then he slowly picked up a piece of Australian lobster meat and put it into his mouth. He continued eating his lobster with a content expression on his face, as if she did not exist.Beatrice was vexed as she thought, ‘What did he mean? Am I a non-existent dead person?’Beatrice was red-faced, with her eyes widened. “Rockefeller, you trash! Are you deaf? I am talking to you! Why are you here? How did you get in?”In her eyes, Alex was still a good-for-nothing trash who could do nothing else but lived off her sister. She just got angry every time she saw him, especially her temper got worse after he dared to hit her recently.Deigning to even look at her, Alex said indifferently, “What does it have to do with you? Stop bothering me.”What?Beatrice was infuriated and quite frankly, appalled at his attitude as she thought, ‘This trash just rides roughshod over others at home, by taking advantage of my sister’s help. Now that we are out

    Beatrice decided that she should stay away from the trouble.Daniel arrived not long after.“Wilson, where is the uninvited guest you mentioned?”“Right there, it’s him.” Wilson pointed at Alex.Daniel looked toward the direction Wilson was pointing. His eyes turned cold as he saw Alex, who was wearing cheap casual clothes, devouring a large king crab.“Sir, I am the venue manager for tonight’s auction, Daniel Jordan. Please show your invitation.”Alex spat out the crab meat from his mouth. After pulling out a wet wipe from the side, he said as he slowly wiped his mouth, “The king crab was cooked for too long and lost its texture, it’s not tasty. Also, there are too few Australian lobsters here. Please get another plate of Australian lobsters over. Don’t forget to put on some ginger and vinegar.”Beatrice, who was five meters away from the scene, could not believe what she just saw as she thought, ‘Does this fella not know that he’s in a dire situation? What does he think this p

    The crowd’s gaze followed the direction of the voice. It came from a youthful girl with huge busts, who dressed in a purple school dress, approaching them quickly from the entrance.The lady was Michelle Yowell.Some, who did not know who she was, laughed from the bottom of their hearts as they thought it was whimsical that a schoolgirl came to back Alex up.Meanwhile, some chatty ones could not help but speak, “Where did this kid come from? She must be a socially awkward bookworm, for coming here to display her superiority.”“Everyone present here has a rich background. This girl must have come to put up an ostentatious act by showing off her strength.”However, the person who spoke had his mouth covered by his companion as he whispered to warn him, “Are you nuts? She is that little devil from the Yowell family. Your family is finished if she sets her sights on you!”What?The man shivered and broke out in cold sweat. Earlier, he just said that the girl tried to show off her st

    “But, he…”Before Daniel could utter another word, Michelle, who was fiery-tempered, kicked him again and said, “Get lost, you are fired!”“Argh!”Daniel was petrified and his face turned as white as a sheet.It took him years and consistent effort to get to the manager position of Splendor Center, but all it took was a minor misunderstanding to unravel all his hard work.At this moment, he glared at Wilson with a strong urge to strangle his nephew.Wilson was shocked. Mona, Sam and the rest of the crowd were astonished as well.Beatrice could not believe it herself. How did that trash get involved with Michelle and even became her VIP? It was impossible!‘Could it be that this trash cheated on Sis, and courted Michelle?’That could be the only plausible explanation.Daniel was quickly escorted out by the security guards under Michelle’s orders.She then glanced at Wilson and gave him a hard smack across the face. “Get on your knees and apologize to Mr. Rockefeller.”Fright

    “Damn, what’s the situation now? Did she bring me here so that she could throw herself at me?” As Alex put all his attention to the Australian lobsters and did not notice Michelle’s face in agony, he was shocked to find her soft and warm body in his arms at the moment.More importantly, what should he do with a lady who came throwing herself at him?‘You are a sneaky fellow, Keith Yowell! Setting me up like this!’Alex gritted his teeth, and thought maybe he should…At this moment, Michelle groaned in pain again. While holding her chest, she spat out a mouthful of blood suddenly.What?Alex was shocked, as the throw up was almost spat on his face!“Hey, Michelle! Michelle!”Only then did Alex realize he was wrong, Michelle did not come onto him. Instead, she collapsed into his arms because of the sudden onset of her injuries, she could not stand firmly.“Damn, you should have told me earlier! You made me worry for nothing!”Alex muttered under his breath but kept his hands

    At this moment, Michelle’s voice interrupted Alex’s concentration. “Alex, do you want the tuber fleeceflower?”That was because the tuber fleeceflower was the auction item that was currently displayed on the screen in the VIP room.Alex glanced at the screen and casually hummed in agreement.At this moment, the current price had reached seven million dollars, coincidentally it was bidded by Pepper.She seemed convinced in obtaining it.However, Michelle immediately put forward a price of ten million dollars.The auctioneer called, “VIP room No. 1 has bidded ten million dollars. Is there any bidder with a call higher than ten million dollars?”Most of the attendees knew that the little devil from the Yowell family and the Australian lobster guy were the occupants of VIP Room No. 1. Some people who wanted to contest the bid decided not to do it as they did not want to provoke the Yowell family. Pepper frowned and shouted again, “Eleven million dollars!”“Fifteen million dollars

    “They are leaving early!”Alex’s eyes flashed as stood up and wanted to go after them instinctively.However, he was pulled back by Michelle. “Where are you going? The auction items will be delivered soon, I want you to check them out with me.”“Can’t you do it yourself?”“I am not a connoisseur of medicinal herbs. Plus, those old guys who put up the items for auction this time are sly as a fox. Who knows if they decide to cheat us with a fake imitation. These herbs are needed to save my grandfather, so I have to be extra careful.”Alex thought for a while and then nodded .With a Japanese fighter accompanying Pepper, he was unsure if he could capture her easily. Plus, Waltz already had surveillance set up on Pepper, he could always do it in the future.As it turned out, Michelle worried too much. After all, that was an extravagant hotel owned by the Yowells. Who would dare to cheat Michelle, who bidded those medicinal herbs at high price?Half an hour later, the two of them l

But we were sworn brothers 10,000 years ago, weren’t we?”Blaine smiled and fished out a box of cigars. “Would you like one?”After a moment, the three people smoked at the foot of Mount Yukon.Blaine suddenly spewed out a puff of smoke. He then tapped the cigar lightly and said, “Samsara, life, soul, matter, universe, void...”That puff of smoke evolved.Eventually, he snapped his fingers and said, “Women!”The smoke turned into Zendaya’s lifelike appearance. She was a real person.Alex rushed over and hugged Zendaya immediately.Zendaya touched Alex’s face. “Hubby, am I still alive?”“I, I, I don’t know either.”After he said that, he kissed her passionately.Blaine snapped his fingers again, and Zendaya disappeared instantly.“This is...”“Idiot!” Blaine flicked the ash off his cigar. “Do you still not understand it?”Alex looked at Blaine,

    Alex burst into tears when she saw the Phoenix Empress.She was still protecting Phoenix firmly at the final moment of her life...“Honey! Dorothy... They are dead! They are all dead!”He pulled his hair out, completely unable to accept such a result.He did not know how long he used the last move, but it seemed like a century had passed outside the Phanes Realm. ‘There is no one left. What’s the point of living when I am the only one left?’He held Dorothy with one hand and Phoenix with the other hand, whereas Shelly was lying next to his feet.He shed tears and bawled sorrowfully.Just then, a ray of light flashed.A crystal-clear stone suddenly exploded at the scene, and someone popped out...

    Alex realized that he was trapped.He had ants in his pants. Dorothy, Phoenix, Shelly, Grand Emperor Rowan, and his family were outside... Since he was trapped here, they could be in danger.“Break it!”He grabbed the Phanes Ax and struck forcefully, but to his surprise, it was as if he was hitting cotton—he could not exert any strength.“Calm down! Calm down! No hurry!“This is Phanes Banner, an existence on the same level as the Phanes Ax. It won’t work if I strike it forcefully...”At that moment, the huge grindstone kept moving in the diffracted universe, and countless living beings were ground into flesh and blood. This time, the living beings on Earth could no longer withstand the grindstone and were continuously sucked into it.Currently, the entire diffracted universe was going to end in deadlock, as if the final result had been predetermined.Death and extinction seemed to be the final way.“Ah—!

    The mother-daughter duo—the Phoenix Empress and Phoenix—spilled blood in the air.That sword’s might did not stop there, but it came down in a ruthless slash. At the scene, Dorothy and Zendaya could not keep up with their strength. They had insufficient power!Both the women were standing in front of Alex as long-range supporters.It was then that the sword descended. Zendaya turned the vines into a shield and blocked it.Poof!The vine shield shattered instantly, and the sword almost tore her apart. Knocked back abruptly and crashing into Alex’s fusion barrier, she spilled a great amount of blood on it.Boom! Boom!Alex’s heart trembled vigorously. Seeing Zendaya at the last gasp before his eyes, Alex was so heartbroken that he could not breathe. Meanwhile, the face of the white-clothed woman in his mind finally became clear.“Yukina!

Moreover, that huge grindstone faded away gradually and disappeared.“Ha! The grindstone is gone!”“It’s over! Great!”The people on Earth, especially those who had a narrow escape, shouted joyfully and hugged each other. Even if the men and women were unacquainted, they embraced each other excitedly.However, someone started crying shortly afterward because several nodes of the force field were broken, and at least a million living beings were sucked out of Earth before they were thrown into the grindstone and ground into flesh and blood.Someone powerful like Agatha sacrificed her life for the greater good.Even Saria failed to escape.She was also sucked into the grindstone after Agatha.Everyone was in great sorrow.Even so, the great crisis hadn’t yet been averted.Grand Emperor Ro

    However, the suction was disrupted.People who flew up fell back down.The sensation that everyone was about to float away vanished as well.Soon, the audience witnessed an incomparably amazing scene.In a nearby world, a massive dragon was being pulled. It roared and resisted but to no avail. It finally plunged into the grimstone, where it was instantly ground into flesh and blood… Those flesh and blood fell from the grimstone but seemed to fall into some strange channel. They vanished.Then, there were more living things.Due to the distance, the average person could not see those small living creatures unless they cultivated their eyes with spiritual power to a certain level.

    Diffracted Universe.Earth.It was now midday, and the sun beat down brightly.A group of young men and women swam, played, and sunbathed on a golden beach, interacting with each other and enhancing each other's feelings.For example, one of the youth, Autumn, was pushed down onto the beach chair by a hot woman, who said, "Brother, the sun is so hot, I will give you sunscreen!"Then.As the words were spoken.The sun went completely dark.Everyone raised their eyes to the sky, only to discover that the sun that had been shining brightly all day had turned blood red. So much so that the light shining down was dark red like blood, and everything appeared to be bathed in blood light."What's the problem?""How did the sun become this?""Is it a solar eclipse?"However, everyone soon noticed that a massive grimstone had appeared next to the blood-colored sun.Alex would have been surprised if he had been present.This was due to his familiarity with the grimstone.He and Phoe
