Merida cackled and pinched Nicholas’s ear. “Listen to your brother-in-law, you naive child. What kind of people are you even befriending now? Do you know how expensive the villas are in Maple Villa? Your brother-in-law wouldn’t even be able to afford one in a million years!”

“Trying to trick us with a fake keycard? You are absolutely ridiculous!”

Alex was speechless. He didn’t want his mother to face any insults. She had only just been discharged from the hospital. He turned to Nicholas. “Nicholas, you can talk it out with your family. We’ll be off.”

Nicholas asked, “Off to where?”

Merida smirked and joked, “Where? They’re definitely going to Maple Villa and stay in some grand villa of course! Why would they stay in such a rundown place, right? Will they even get used to such poverty?”

Sean laughed at them too, treating them like clowns in a circus.

Alex replied, “My keycard is real. Mr. Carter gave it to me just a while ago. Nicholas, it’s alright, I know how much you care about

    Charles just witnessed Alex save his daughter and cure his wife’s illness. Dr. Coney even knelt down to Alex! He could only dream to befriend such a powerful person, and yet this Sean guy was trying to destroy his chances.Both Sean and Merida were shocked to their core.Just then, Charles added, “Mobila Furnishing, huh? Your CEO, Mr. Edward, wanted to invite me to dinner earlier. Tell him that I have to refuse his offer and I’d like to cancel our partnership completely.”“Ah!” Sean was terrified; the color immediately drained from his face.He was the manager of Mobila Furnishing, but Mr. Edward was the CEO, the director of the company. If Mr. Edward was to find out about this, there was no way that he’d be let off easy!Being fired was the lightest punishment Sean could get.With a loud thud, Sean dropped his knees to the ground.“Mr. Carter, Mr. Carter, please spare me! I was wrong, I didn’t know any better. Please spare me, I… I’ll slap myself now.” With that, Sean slapped

    Beatrice and Claire had met the Carters yesterday.Since Charles mentioned that he was going to give Alex a villa and ten million dollars, she was in disbelief the entire day. However, after putting some thought into it, she figured that Charles was just lying to trigger them.Claire had even come to a conclusion that Alex didn’t like how he was kicked out, hence he asked Charles to help him out by stopping by their villa to trigger them.She even came up with a reason as to why Charles was willing to help as well.Alex hooked up with Cheryl after all. Since Dr. Coney saved Charles’ daughter, it wasn’t hard to ask him for help.Alex was still nothing more than a useless piece of sh*t in the eyes of the Assexes.Alex was somewhat surprised. “Why are you here?”Beatrice huffed. “I’m here to buy a car. Why else would I be in a car dealership store? Do you think I’m as lowly as you to be here to find a job? By the way, do you think just any loser can work in a BMW dealership store?

    ‘He does not deserve it; let me have it instead!’ thought Wilson Jordan.Alex Rockefeller nodded. “One hundred times is a lot. I will let you off easy this time. Saying it once is enough.”He then took out his bank card and gave it to the saleswoman. “Swipe away!”Instantly, the saleslady got to work. The company had placed a lot of attention on selling a two million dollar car, thus making the transaction process easier. It was not long before the purchase went through.Beep!The sound of a successful payment made.The saleslady handed Alex his bankcard and various receipts in excitement. “This is yours, brother. Please keep them safe. I will get to it right away. Be back in a half-hour!”Beatrice Assex was startled. “How...how.. .did you get so much money?”Alex smirked. “Well, well, Beatrice Assex. Can I count on you to keep your promise, especially as the campus belle of California State University? Hm, I wonder what will happen if news about you breaking promises starts sp

    “Princess Fleur? I do not know of any dumb princess here. Get out of my way!” Alex Rockefeller snorted.The bald guy became livid. “You insulted Princess Fleur!”To which Alex smiled, “Who knows, that bitch of a princess? Why is she looking for me? Perhaps she is an escort at the club? Sorry, I am not interested.”“Get him, brothers!”Alex let out a curse and channeled his inner energy. The next second he was right in front of the bald guy.Smack!He slapped him, right across the face, with full force.The bald guy did not expect Alex to take the offense and attack him first. He did not have time to react and was instantly on the floor, hacking out a few bloody teeth. His face had blown up, swollen like a pufferfish. After putting one down, Alex did not wait. Instead, he charged toward the next person.“Argh!”“Get our weapons! Surround him!”A few went back to their cars and got batons, sticks, and blades. Upon their return, however, a few of their comrades were lying on t

    Alex Rockefeller lifted the bald guy by his collar and said, “You have to pay for the damages, three million dollars!”“Um, well, I do not have that much money!”“Perhaps we have to pay Princess Escort a visit then!”Shoving the tied-up bald guy into his BMW M8, Alex pulled out the embedded machete from the window and punctured the deployed airbags.Vroom!The engines revved to life.Fortunately, although somewhat wrecked, it was still drivable.Nudging the Volkswagen out of his way, Alex drove the M8 away from the accident site, headed straight for Princess Fleur. His curiosity was piqued. Who exactly was Princess Fleur?On his way there, the car made all sorts of noises, its components falling apart as he drove along. It was quite a sight for onlookers and had attracted plenty of attention, more so than a brand-new BMW would.“Gosh, isn’t that an M8? What a pity!”“Seems like a newly-bought car too, even the license plate is not up yet. Hold on...Beatrice, could it be you

    The lady’s heel smashed into Alex Rockefeller’s shoulder.Yet, he seemed not at all affected.As the Force engaged its self-defense measures, it almost dislocated her ankles.The next moment, Alex grabbed hold of her feet and lifted her up.It was a funny sight to behold.The moment she leaped forward, she instantly regretted her decision. She totally forgot that she was wearing a dress. At that very moment, it was as embarrassing as it could get. She fought back with all her might but faced Alex, a strong, undefeatable character; her actions were nothing but a scratch on the back for him. He grasped her waist and slammed her down on a table nearby.Bam!A loud thud could be heard.Fortunately, she shielded her face from the impact with her hands. Otherwise, that face of hers would be gone.That being said, her chest hit the edge of the table hard upon impact, and she winced in pain.Pushing her down, Alex gave her a mighty slap on the back. A loud crackle was heard, and a

    He knew better. After all, Lord Lex Gunther revered Alex Rockefeller, a close friend’s offspring, according to him. However, he had zero knowledge of Alex’s actual identity.“What’s up? Why did you come?” asked Princess Fleur.“My, I almost screwed things up. Lord Lex passed out suddenly.”“What?!” Princess Fleur shrieked. “Go, we need to get to Hell’s Angels now!”She dashed out, limping a little, and quickly got into her Lamborghini.Following right behind her was Alex, who got into the passenger seat.“Why are you here? Get off my car!” She was annoyed.Alex sat unperturbed. “Start the engine; we are going to see your Father.”“What has it got to do with you?”“You will know when we get there.”The Lamborghini sped away, leaving nothing but dust trails behind.Half an hour later, they arrived at Hell’s Angels.As soon as the car was parked, Princess Fleur sprang out.“Where is Father?”“In the room by the backyard. Mr. Jakob is currently tending to him.”Alex followed

    Princess Fleur looked bewildered. “Little demon? Where?!”“Right in front of you, it’s looking right into your eyes!” said Alex Rockefeller.He was curious about why he did not freak out since this was his first encounter with something like this. Perhaps, after acquiring the Ultimate Book of Medicine’s wisdom, he gained the experience and knowledge of countless ancestors, as if he experienced it himself. Princess Fleur indeed felt an unknown being stroking her face at the moment.“Argh!”She screamed and leaped onto Alex’s back, clinging onto him as if her life depended on it.Alex felt a soft sensation on his back and a pair of slender arms wrapped around his waist. For a short while, he thought of succumbing to the temptation.“Lady, I am not your husband. Keep your hands off me.” Alex patted her on the back. Cheekily, it was the same spot where she was injured just previously.Princess Fleur was embarrassed. After a moment of awkwardness, she hurriedly jumped down.Once s

    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... It was Grand Emperor Rowan who was drenched in blood. He did not die. He was still alive.Looking at him, Alex cried louder.Immediately afterward, an even louder cry sounded around him.Grand Emperor Rowan was crying.Nothing was more painful in this world than having his beloved o

    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—! That’s right. I understand it. The three thousand great spells and the c

    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! Daya Stoermer! Yukina is Daya Stoermer!“I finally remembered it. I finally remembered it. It turns out that the three lifetimes you’ve been ta

    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.

    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. 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
