Alex put down Claire’s fair, tender feet and said, “I need to answer a call.”

Claire shouted, “Why are you in a hurry? It’s just a call! There’s one more foot to go! Well, you’re quite good at massaging.”

Alex turned around with an annoyed look. “I’ll wash my hand first.”

As soon as he answered the call, Cheryl asked, “Alex, have you gotten the hundred-year-old ginseng?”

Alex sighed as he answered, “It’s seriously a rare item. I couldn’t find any even though I’ve searched quite a number of places.”

Cheryl said with a smile, “I knew it. I’ve gotten one for you.”

“Oh! Seriously?”

“Yes, I just happened to see it and then immediately bought it.”

“Where are you now? I’ll come over.”

“Sure, I’ll send you the address.”

After Alex finished the call, he saw Claire with one foot lying on the tea table, hinting that she wanted him to continue with the massage. Alex immediately said, “Dorothy, Mom, I have to go now because I have something to do.”

Dorothy asked, “Where are you going?”

    “Ahhh--”In a state of shock, Cheryl screamed and even forgot to avoid the blow.Alex immediately wrapped Cheryl in his arms and endured the attack with his back. It was almost instantly that he felt the heavy blow on his back.Bang! Bang! Bang!Three consecutive blows were landed.Not only one man tried to attack them but the other two men did too, with all their might.Without any delay, they continued whacking him with wooden sticks.Cheryl finally regained her focus and realized that Alex was protecting her in his embrace, while he was the one to endure the attacks. Her heart raced and tears were gushing down from her eyes as she heard the loud clunks of the wooden sticks hitting on Alex’s back. However, as she raised her head, she saw the calm and determined look in Alex’s eyes.At that particular moment, the image of his face was rooted in her mind.Snap!One of the wooden sticks was broken.Afterward, someone said, “Enough, don’t kill him.”Under normal circumstances

    The leader had a firm attitude. He glared at Alex and refused to utter a word. Alex snapped his finger. “Okay then. Let me see how firm you are. If you can last a minute, I’ll let you guys go.” As the leader’s eyes were filled with bemusement, Alex pressed his finger on his brow. It was imbued with a strange aura. In the next second, the homicide leader grimaced in fear and sweat bullets. A terrifying roar came out from his throat, as if he had encountered the worst suffering and torment in his life. As Cheryl witnessed such a scene, she was dumbfounded and unable to comprehend the situation. Not even a minute — it was just three seconds — the homicide leader fell to the ground with a thud as his will collapsed. “I’ll say! Ahh! I’ll say anything! I beg you, please make it stop! Please spare my life!” Cheryl’s eyes widened in bewilderment. His response was too exaggerated. Was he putting on a joint performance with Alex? Once again, Alex pressed his finger on the l

    “Alex, do you think we’ll acquire the subsidiary company shares in City South without a hitch?” Dorothy’s heart was filled with daunting anticipation.While patting on the briefcase, which he carried with him, Alex said, “Rest assured, I promise.”The contract that had been signed by Waylon Realty earlier was placed inside the briefcase.Dorothy grinned from ear to ear as her beautiful eyes opened a sliver.In that instant, Alex was a little stunned.After all, it had been a very long time since Dorothy let out such a joyful laughter in front of him.He suddenly drew closer. After reaching out to clasp her hand, he said, “Dorothy, thank you for all your support during this period of time. From now on, I won't let you bear such a heavy burden by yourself. I’ll help you to share the burden so that you don't have to suffer anymore.”As Dorothy felt the sincerity in his grip, a gush of sorrow filled her and she wanted to cry.“It’s fine, as long as you know that.”After a pause, s

    “.....”Benny also let out a laugh. “Dorothy, do you really think that Assex Constructions will transfer 70% of the subsidiary company shares in City South to you? You’re too naive. Keep on dreaming.”“What?” Dorothy exclaimed in surprise, “This contract is fake?”Madame Joanne cackled like a hen. “Of course, it’s fake. The Assex family doesn’t need ungrateful people like you. Dorothy, you’re overambitious. How dare you try to dominate the subsidiary company in City South? What qualification do you have? Who gave you the courage to do so? This trash who’s standing beside you? From now on, your family line is no longer part of the Assexes. You are expelled from the Assexes.”“What? Grandma, how could you break your promise?” Dorothy was on the verge of tears.Madame Joanne said, “Why should I keep my promise when dealing with shameless and despicable people like you? You’re unworthy of being a member of the Assexs.”Emma chided, “We don't welcome you both, so you can get out of he

    “What? This loser signed it?”“How could he, of all people, have such power?” “How could he sign this contract when no one else could?”The Assexes couldn’t believe what they were hearing.Alex checked the time and said, “Five minutes have passed. You still have ten minutes… Also, I could sign this and you can’t because Charles Carter owes me a favor.”Emma immediately started yelling. “There’s no way! Stop trying to bluff your way out of this! Who do you think you are anyway? You’re a shame to the Rockefellers. Your parents betrayed our country, so you’re no better than a street rat. If you haven’t been sucking up to Dorothy, your mom would’ve died ages ago! And you would have starved to death too. So, who do you think you are, huh? As if Charles Carter could ever owe you a favor. You’re overestimating your worth…” With a cold gaze, Alex lunged towards Emma and grabbed her by the hair. He then smashed her head onto the table.Emma’s front teeth were knocked out and her nose s

    The old lady huffed. “You idiot. Don’t worry, I know what I’m doing.”Benny explained. “The CEO of Waylon Realty, Mr. Carter actually lent a hand to Alex just to help Dorothy get the branch from City South. This means that they are quite close. If it was Dorothy who signed it, she might’ve just used her body to persuade him. But if Alex did it, then it could have been for a different reason. It could be that William Rockefeller had worked with Charles Carter when he was still alive. If we use their relationship, the Assex family would be better able to work with Waylon Realty.”Meanwhile, Dorothy had just gotten into their car. “Grandma’s sudden change in attitude was most likely due to your relationship with Mr. Carter. They’ll want to work with Mr. Carter through you as a way to improve their partnership.Alex huffed. “She can dream on. Now that you have full control over the branch in City South, you’ll be able to expand this business to its full potential… I know it’s best to no

    Alex’s eyes suddenly emitted a murderous glare. He pulled Dorothy behind him, shielding her from the men.“Be careful!” Dorothy was nervous and worried. She had no idea that Alex was no longer as weak as before. These security guards were nowhere nearly as powerful as he was.In just a bat of an eye, the guards were kicked in the guts. They fell to the ground harshly and weren't able to get back up at all.“All three of you are fired!” Alex said as he walked into the company with Dorothy in hand.Many of the employees who were sitting near the windows witnessed this incident. They were shocked and their mouths were agape. News quickly spread throughout the whole company:“Oh my god look! Ms. Assex is back! She even brought a guy along with her and he just beat up the security guards!”“Wait, which Assex?”“These are the photos, it’s our previous general manager, Dorothy Assex.”“What? Did she bring someone along to get her position back? I would too, to be honest.”“Why would

    Shermaine sobbed uncontrollably. However, Dorothy didn’t even want to look at her. “Inform all the higher-ups that we’re going to have a meeting in the first meeting room.”The news caused an uproar within the company. Numerous employees cheered loudly as well. Everyone didn’t dare go against Emma back then because they didn’t want any trouble. However, despite their cowardice, they still sided with Dorothy in spirit.Alex, on the other hand, didn’t have anything to do at the time.He looked at Shermaine who was extremely upset and still sobbing uncontrollably. Alex shook his head lightly and walked off.Just then, a luxurious car arrived in front of the company. A man and a woman got out of the car.The man was in a smart suit looking dashing, and the woman was Beatrice Assex.Why were they here?To propose.The security guards at the entrance of the building received the news of Dorothy regaining her position in the company.

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

    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
