“Medicine auction? Heh, Alex, you must be mistaken. I have no knowledge of medicine at all, why would I be at some auction? I’d usually just go to the hospital if I needed medicine. Why would I even dare to get some random medicine? Who knows what effects it might have?” Pepper smiled, denying Alex’s accusations.

Alex returned her smile and said, “You’re right, who knows what effects it might have? You should know better, right, Secretary Kimmich? Remember to watch your step. You have four eyes, so you should be able to see much clearer than most of us. I hope you won’t take another wrong step.”

He then turned to John.

“You’re a few days closer to the deadline. You’d have to think this through.”

“If you refuse to return what I asked for, you probably won’t be able to have this coffin opened. Forever.”

Alex placed his hand gently onto the coffin cover.

With a gentle pat, the whole cover turned into pieces of wooden shards.

Pepper’s face had turned extremely pale, her eyes filled

    Anyone in their right mind wouldn’t have said such things, all the more right after being saved.Waltz had wanted to beat Bill up right there and then but was stopped by Alex.Alex ripped off his shirt that had been soiled by the spit and threw it onto the ground. “This indicates that we no longer owe you anything. We’re cutting it clean with you, old man. From now on, I have no relations to the Rockefellers. I don’t owe you anything, but you do. If you didn’t return what used to be my father’s before the 5th of October, all of you would have to pay with your lives.”“Let’s go, mom!”“Shut up!” Bill raged, yelling at him with bloodshot eyes. “Well, come and take my life right here, right now! You ungrateful little pest, I will not hand you a single penny from our family! Do you really think you’re a Rockefeller? Dream on! You were never my grandson, to begin with, and your father isn’t even my son! Both of you are mere outsiders!”“What?”This shocked Alex and Brittany to their c

    After staring at her intently, Alex reached his hand out, touching her soft and smooth face.Waltz smiled sweetly and her eyes curved into two beautiful crescent moons as though she was ready to welcome Alex’s lips on hers.However, Alex spoke up, “I know that you’re trying to comfort me, to help me feel better. To be honest, you’re worrying too much. I’ve managed to pull through worse, furthermore this isn’t a big deal at all.”“I’m actually relieved that I’m not related to the Rockefellers. I wouldn’t have to worry too much when I need to fight back.”“But, being stabbed by your family in the back is the most unacceptable thing, isn’t it?”Waltz nodded gently.Their eyes met again. The atmosphere between the two gradually became ambivalent as their gazes turned hot and seductive. Waltz leaned closer to Alex, puckering up her lips.Suddenly, Alex started pinching her with the hand that he placed on her face. Puzzled, he asked, “What are you doing? You’re just my slave. Are you

    Of course, Alex was able to dodge the slipper easily.Just then, Dorothy called out to him from the staircase on the second floor, “Alex, come upstairs.”Just as Alex wanted to walk up the stairs, Claire held him off by pulling his arm. “No way! Dorothy, are you insane? How could you let this loser go up to your room? That’ll ruin your reputation if this news ever gets out! How are you supposed to get married after this?”Dorothy replied coldly, “Mom, I’m going to repeat myself. I’m already married, Alex is my husband. On the contrary, your tantrums would really ruin my reputation. What do you even want? Do you really want me to stab myself in the heart, only then you’ll be satisfied?”Realizing that Dorothy was really mad, Claire, who was livid, could only let go of Alex and yelled to the sky, “Oh God, what did I do in my previous life to deserve this?!”Deigning to even look at her, Alex went upstairs.In fact, Alex had been in Dorothy’s room in the past, but it was a long time

    As soon as Madame Joanne arrogantly walked through the door, she took a quick scan of the interior of the villa, with a look of disgust and disdain on her face. Her presence was as if a great gift bestowed upon them.Claire had bad-mouthed Madame Joanne behind her back many times. Upon seeing her arrival, she immediately jumped up from the sofa to give her a warm welcome, despite the pain in her feet.“Mom, what brings you here? Here, take a seat!” She held Madame Joanne’s arm, guiding her to the sofa.However, Madame Joanne didn’t move an inch and forcefully flung her hands away.Emma stared at them in disgust. “Ugh, really? Just look at how dirty your sofa is. There’s blood on the floor too! Where did that blood even come from? Could it be syphilis? How could you let her sit there? Are you trying to infect Grandma with such filthy diseases? ”Claire froze with her hands still in the mid-air. Her expression immediately turned grim as well.Both Dorothy and Beatrice were bridle

    Dorothy was speechless as she didn’t know what to say.Alex spoke up, “Mr. Carter helped us last time because of me.”Anderson laughed out loud. “Because of you? You’re just an abandoned kid from the Rockefellers, a loser who lives off his wife! Why would Mr. Carter help you? Everyone knows that Dorothy was just bluffing last time. Why would Mr. Carter know a loser like you? Dorothy must have given you all the credit after she signed the contract!”Dorothy replied, “I don’t have the ability to have Mr. Carter at my beck and call. It really was because of Alex.”Anderson cackled even louder. “You do have the ability, because you’re pretty! As long as you spread your legs, Mr. Carter will definitely help you. Otherwise, why were you the only one who was able to secure the contract with him when the others failed to do so? Don’t worry, we won’t let your help in vain. After signing this contract, the Assexes will give you five hundred thousand dollars… Five hundred thousand dollars! Ju

    “Uncle Benny, my company would be ruined if I were to sell the materials at half the market price! That wouldn’t be able to cover the advance expense that we forked out for the materials. You’re trying to ruin our lives!”Dorothy was in such a panic that she teared up, after all, this was all too much for her.Alex did not understand much about Assex Constructions' new materials. Although he felt sorry for his wife, he could not find any excuse to stand up for his wife. So, he could only wait and think of another way to help her.Madame Joanne smiled coldly. “What does that have to do with us? Your company can go into shambles for all I care. Grandma wants to help you, since you’re my granddaughter. If you could achieve the first request, we wouldn’t take action on the second.”Dorothy understood their intentions now, it was a simultaneous pressure to force her into submission.Madame Joanne looked confident, knowing that she was going to get what she wanted.Benny said, “Dorothy

    The Yowells?Alex froze a little, then let out a sigh of relief.Since it was Keith’s property, whatever rule regarding the materials would be set by the Yowells. He believed that Keith would definitely help him out with such a trivial matter.Alex immediately said, “Okay, don’t you worry. Just leave it to me, I’ll help you resolve this issue.”Dorothy asked, “What plan do you have? Are you going to beg Mr. Carter?”Alex smiled mysteriously. “Just wait and see.”Throughout their conversation, Beatrice observed Alex with a puzzled look. She suddenly remembered that youthful lady with huge busts, as known as the top-notch campus belle in California State University — Michelle Yowell.She immediately spoke up, “Alex, I’d like to talk to you. Follow me outside.”With that, Beatrice turned around and walked out of the villa.Dorothy and Claire looked toward Beatrice in bemusement before turning their gaze to Alex. Both of them thought that something impossible had happened.After

    Upon listening to his words, Beatrice burst in anger as she thought, ‘How dare he utter such nonsense?! Does he think that I, Beatrice Assex, am a dumbass?!’However, this bastard looked extremely arrogant and smug, so Beatrice couldn’t hold in her fury any longer.“Do you think I’d believe that? Do you think you’re some kind of miracle doctor? That you're a reincarnation of Hippocrates? Why don’t you just say that you saved the earth, or better, the entire universe? Really… Is this the dream of a loser?”“I really dislike you, you don’t deserve my sister at all. Yet Sis is just so infatuated with you, both Mom and I can’t do anything about you at all! So, I hope you can come back to your senses and be down-to-earth. Don’t ever hurt my sister, or even my family.”“You can continue to be our nanny in this villa, but you have to cut ties with Michelle Yowell.” Beatrice said with a cold expression on her face.After letting out a sardonic laugh, Alex turned around, looking toward the

    The Fiend Lord’s mentor was Blaine Rockefeller.However...Grand Emperor Rowan was puzzled. “You are the last Everlasting Being? 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!

    Grand Emperor Rowan brought momentary relief to Earth through the self-destruction of the Six Eternities.Those who were about to be sucked into the grindstone broke free from the restraints. 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

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.

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
