His father’s bright smile was engraved into his brain, as if he was right there with him. Remembering his smile broke Alex’s heart.

“Dad, you were the one who chose and bought this place. You lived here!

“Your son will get it back for you,” Alex murmured to himself.

He closed his eyes, engulfed by his thoughts.

It was five in the evening by the time John rushed back to the manor from the hospital, feeling bloodthirsty. He blamed Alex and Brittany for the states his son and father were in. He wanted to let out his anger on and torture the two b*tches.

But when he got to the entrance, he saw the guards.

As Fred opened his mouth, John pushed him aside and asked coldly, “Is that pest Alex here?”

Fred didn’t dare disobey him and said, “He’s here.”

“Very good,” John said as he rushed into the manor. He had already thought of multiple ways to torture both the mother and son.

However, there was no one around, not even Brock, when he walked into the manor. There was only Alex resting o

    “What?”“Behind their accident?”Alex stirred chaos among the Rockefellers with that one question.Everyone turned to John, waiting for an answer. Even Noah looked over in his direction.John snapped out of his daze and became more infuriated. “Bullsh*t! Why would I be behind that accident? Do you suspect that I killed your dad? Do you think I’d kill my own brother? Who do you take me for?“Your father, William, betrayed our country and tried to make a run for it! He was the one who didn’t pay attention to the road and panicked! He collided with some driver and got into that accident. He caused his own death. What does that have to do with me?“Besides, his actions have caused us Rockefellers to endure shame and humiliation. We’re now a laughing stock because of him. We can’t even go by our lives in peace in California all because your father and mother Brittany just had to succumb to their greed!” Upon hearing John’s words, the Rockefellers started blaming and accusing them as

    John snorted. “Don’t worry. Rockefeller Group and this manor are owned by our Rockefeller family. Since William is dead, there is no way Alex could take everything back. He can keep on dreaming. I will give him nothing, not even a single penny!”“But, he seems to have become more powerful. Did he actually train himself during the time he went missing? Look at the table… it is said that only fighters could do that,” replied Carol.As part of California’s high society, it was reasonable for Carol to know of the existence of such people—fighters.“So what if he is one? What decade is he living in? No matter how powerful he is at fighting, he’s still vulnerable and there’s no way he could dodge an actual bullet,” John snorted.He glared at Pepper Kimmich and thought, ‘Two months? Hmph, within these two months I’ll send both you and your cheap mom down to the depths of hell.’Instantly, he felt much better as his mind became clearer. However, he suddenly thought about Brock, who he had

    Charles Carter answered the question instead with a smile, “Hailey owns a beauty salon chain. Years ago, she wanted to develop her own products so she bought a small manufacturing plant with an R&D center to realize her ambitions. That being said, till now nothing ever comes of it, so it has been dormant for a while.”In fact, Hailey had actually discussed the matter with Brittany earlier.Otherwise, Hailey would not have mentioned it now.Brittany was also a capable businesswoman years ago so she could understand business operations very well.She said with a smile, “Alex, after talking to Hailey, I think we can work together closely. Her beauty salon chain needs a flagship product currently and I am confident we can just develop the right ultra-popular product for her.”What was the ultra-popular product? Something that would surpass the sales of the also-popular freckle cream produced by Rockefeller Group.That being said, Brittany did not reveal much about their plans. After

    He looked straight ahead, but his gaze fell under Waltz’s neck, and in that instant he felt as though he was greeted by an awe-inspiring view from a very high place.Even though his mind said no the entire time, his body was far more honest. Suddenly, his hands were placed on her waist.“Not that I refuse to teach you, it’s just that your basics are too horrible.” Alex was flustered with rapid breathing and could not think straight.“Oh, really? What should I do then? Senior, about the chakra pill you mentioned previously, what is it?” She rocked her body once again and spoke in a flirtatious voice.“Well, the chakra pill is…”Before he could finish speaking, he heard a cough coming from the stairs.It was Brittany, who had been standing by the staircase for some time, who looked at them with a surprised and awkward expression as she secretly thought, “Brat, she’s your junior in martial arts? Isn’t she just a bed-warming junior?” Alex hurriedly pushed Waltz away in shock and sa

    The smell of perfume?Alex’s mind buzzed for a while, and almost let the cat out of the bag. He could not possibly tell Dorothy that Waltz just sat on his lap and rocked her body on and on, infusing him with the scent of her perfume.He could still think straight, so he hurriedly explained, “Of course not, I have not seen Dr. Coney at all today. As for the perfume… I remember it now. It was Hailey’s, I just hugged…”Before he could finish speaking, Beatrice exclaimed, “You hugged Hailey?”Alex immediately corrected his words. “Let me finish speaking. I hugged Hailey’s daughter, Zoey. She had her mother’s perfume scent on her too.”“Is it so?”“Of course, why don’t you ask her yourself?”“Nah, I trust you.”Alex quickly grabbed her delicate hands and said, “Dorothy, I am so happy that you are so concerned for me, do you know that? During this period of time, I thought you didn’t love me anymore, and I almost wanted to die.”Dorothy did not refuse his advances but looked at hi

    Claire coldly snorted and threw a nasty glance at Alex. “So what? It was just a one-time favor. Furthermore, I suspect that Charles Carter of Waylon Realty signed the contract only because he was attracted to your beauty. Then, you wanted to give him the credit so that I’ll change my attitude toward him, am I right?”“Oh my god!”Dorothy was bereft of speech. Realizing that she could no longer communicate with Claire, she tugged at Alex’s hand and said, “Go to my room, now.”“Stop! What qualification does he even have to enter your room?” yelled Claire.“Because he is my legally-wedded husband.”“No, I won’t allow it. Only one person can ever step foot in your room, that is Felix Shepherd of Pegasus International. Now, I only recognize him as my son-in-law.”“Haha,” Alex laughed with an indifferent expression while looking at Claire calmly.He thought she would change her attitude a bit after all he had done for the Assex family. Yet, her arrogant countenance and those insults t

    Claire found it bemusing and utterly unbelievable.On one side was a rich heir as well as young director of a company with a net worth of tens of billions of fortunes, while on the other side was a good-for-nothing trash who had to live off his wife’s money for survival. Reasonably, should not the trash be the one to kneel down before the rich heir for an apology? How did it become the other way round?Just what had Alex done?Beatrice, who just came out of the manor, saw the scene and immediately cried out, “My good brother-in-law, why are you on your knees? What qualification does this trash have to have you kneel? Stand up, quickly stand up! Did the Rockefeller coerce you into doing this? Don’t worry, my mom and I will always have your back.”After hearing how Beatrice addressed him, Felix was scared senseless as his heart raced widely.Earlier, Felix and Edgar left. After returning home, only then did Edgar let out a sigh and told him what happened at Urasawa Restaurant and al

    Smack! Smack!Alex did not go easy on Felix, and landed three heavy lashes on his back.Three lash wounds immediately surfaced on Felix’s back, and blood began seeping out from some of the wounds.Then, Alex threw the sprig away and said, “Get up, remember what you said today.”Words of gratitude came out of Felix’s mouth as he got up on his feet. He even took out a little gift box and handed it to Alex. “Mr. Rockefeller, thank you so much for the three lashes. I will always remember your teachings. Here’s a little gift for you as a token of appreciation! Mr. Rockefeller, sorry for the bother and I’ll be leaving! May you both live a long and happy life together.”After handing over the gift box to Alex, he turned around and left.Looking at Felix’s disappearing silhouette, Alex secretly thought, “He is a smart guy after all! Well, good for him, I will leave the Shepherds alone for now.”Felix was nowhere to be seen but Claire and Beatrice were still in a state of confusion. Even

    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—!

    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

    Autumn fell to the ground and was grabbed by Brittany.William..., on the other hand, was immediately sucked out when the suction force was restored."Husband!""Grandpa!"Brittany and Autumn wept as they watched William enter the grimstone and transform into flesh and blood."Dad—""Dad ......"This was also seen by Dorothy, Zendaya, and Alex.They were taken aback all at once.Alex roared.It had been so difficult for him to find his father and restore him to normalcy, and for all these years, he had been away, and he hadn't had time to honor his filial piety properly. 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. The fusion still continued as it still needed time. The energy of those flesh and blood was stopping him, destroying him.

Not bad, not bad. With the Six Eternities, we can control the Everlasting Door more easily.""Go, kill them, and snatch the Six Eternities," the Ancient Divinity laughed and said to the Bull Demon King.The Bull Demon King quickly led his disciples and sons to attack Grand Emperor Rowan and the others."Come and help!"

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
