“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

    At this time of the year, California State University was already closed for holidays but lots of students stayed back at the university, especially the seniors and club members. As for the top-notch and extremely popular campus belle, Michelle, as soon as the news of her challenging someone spread, it immediately led a large crowd.There were quite a few outsiders in the crowd as well.Wham!On the half-meter high stage, a young teen with a mohawk, was sent flying off the stage with just one kick from his opponent, falling hard onto the ground.It was fortunate that the stage was surrounded by soft mats, hence he didn’t end up injured.Loud cheers and claps echoed through the clubhouse. The young teen with a mohawk gloomily walked up to a youthful lady with huge busts, who had a stern expression plastered on her face. “Sorry, Ms. Yowell, I was no match for him.”The winner on the stage, who was a young man with long hair, pointed toward Michelle.He stared at her mockingly an

    Alex followed the five in the back and listened in on their conversation.“Sis Henderson, I heard the president of Green Dragons, Trevor Newman, was the one who challenged us. He even brought a skilled fighter along this time. I wonder if Ms. Yowell can handle them,” one of the guys said worriedly.“Don’t worry, Newman is just all talk. He looks impressive but he’s just a weakling. He couldn’t even beat me last time, let alone Michelle. He has no chance against her,” Annalise said confidently.“But I heard Newman went for a special training for a duration of three months!”“You guys might not understand martial art even if I were to explain it to you. Three months? Even if he has trained for three years, he’s still no match for Michelle, and can’t even beat me. That’s because both Michelle and I are experts in inner force after intensive training.”“So, it’s really because of inner force? Then, aren’t you guys as strong as Shooriyojou?”“Besides, Sis Henderson, you’re so gorgeous

    While clasping her chest in pain, Michelle coughed up blood and couldn’t answer at all.Meanwhile, Trevor scanned the crowd and yelled, “Hey, everyone in Devil Coven and California State University, did you see that? Michelle Yowell, the one you claim as queen, is now kneeling before me, Trevor Newman from Green Dragons! Do you guys yield?”Alex frowned. He could tell that Michelle had acted recklessly again by using her inner force, resulting in the recurrence of her injury. If it was not treated in time, it could leave serious repercussions on her health. When the time came, she might not be able to recover completely, even with his help.However, just as he was about to give Michelle a hand, the members of Devil Coven rushed up the stage and helped her get down.Annalise and the others rushed to her and asked about the situation.Only then did they realize that Michelle had been wounded before the fight.Annalise huffed. “I’ll take him down.”Michelle replied, “Be careful, Ne

    Upon hearing Alex’s words, everyone widened their eyes, as if they had just hallucinated.Priscilla had always been a nobody in Devil Coven, she was just a side character. They only asked her to join the club because she looked like a pushover, so they could order her around to run errands for them, just like a slave.However, it must be a joke for sending a nobody like her onstage to defeat Trevor. After all, anyone bulkier in California State University could defeat Priscilla in a flash!Priscilla was stunned as well, she hurriedly waved her hands in denial. “I, I… I can’t do that! I can’t fight onstage, let alone defeat him. How could I possibly go up there and fight him when Sis Henderson lost to him too?”Alex replied, “Didn’t you say that you’ll believe me? Trust me, you will definitely win the fight. Annalise lost, but that doesn’t mean you will too. Go on, you can do it.”Everyone from Devil Coven stared at Alex with a puzzled look on their faces, thinking that he was insa

    “How dare you fool around?!”Trevor was fuming as he thought that was Devil Coven’s scheme, by sending some nobody to the stage, or trying to stall for some time.He lunged at Priscilla and swung a slap toward her.Trevor wanted to put the useless trash’s lights out with a slap, in order to show the power and majesty of the president of Green Dragons.“Ah!” Priscilla screamed and blocked it with her hands instinctively.A flow of Chi gushed out of her body.Smack!Trevor’s slap landed on Priscilla’s wrists.Just then, Trevor suddenly felt an extremely powerful and numbing flow of energy rushing toward him.Wham!Trevor’s whole body flew high over the stage’s rails and fell hard to the ground, with his long hair standing straight up on his head. His whole body was trembling, with his mouth agape as though a mist of black miasma coming out of his mouth.Everyone in the hall fell silent due to shock, they couldn’t believe their eyes.Michelle widened her eyes as well, staring

    Thud!Under the crowd’s gasps, Michelle leaped over the rails and landed on the stage.As Michelle landed on the stage, the bouncy movements of her huge busts awed everyone, widening their eyes, especially the male students, they were even more jealous of Alex upon seeing such a view.Michelle grabbed Priscilla and shifted her to the back. She glared at the arrogant middle-aged man and said, “I’m your opponent now!”Priscilla dared not stay on the stage any longer. Hence, she hurriedly ran off, holding her hands together, terrified.Alex patted her on her shoulder and smiled warmly. “You did great, I told you that you’d win.”“Did… I really win?”“...” Many people, who were standing aside, stared at Priscilla and rolled their eyes.Annalise frowned and stared at Priscilla, she couldn’t understand the sudden burst of her ability at all. She then came to a conclusion that Trevor went off the deep end from overworking his powers. She couldn’t think of any other way that Priscilla

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

In the end, he had actually gone like that."I want your life, Ancient Divinity, you son of a bitch!""Boom, boom—" Fiend Lord’s heart was beating faster and faster.

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. However, a large number of creatures were sucked into the grimstone and ground into flesh and blood.There was no shortage of powerful and mighty individuals among them.Even mortals could see the situation clearly with the naked eye.Agatha hovered in the air, and her expression solemn.This was an e

    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
