“What? Died?

“How did he die?” Alex was extremely shocked. He almost jumped out of his seat.

The truck driver, Anthony Pattingson was the most important lead to the truth about the accident. If he died, then that would mean they had lost their lead.

“I went there just to confirm it. They said that he tried escaping and ended up electrocuting himself. His whole body was charred, I even have photos of his corpse. Would you like to see?”

Alex nodded.

Waltz then scrolled through her phone to find the picture. The corpse really was charred black, it was almost impossible to recognize him.

“That’s not right.” Alex shook his head.

“Not right?” Waltz turned to Alex. “Is this not Anthony Pattingson?”

“No, it is him, but the cause of death isn’t electrocution.”

Others would not be able to notice if Anthony had been electrocuted or murdered. However, Alex was not like the average person—he was equipped with the ultimate knowledge of medicine. Just by looking at the picture, he could tell

    Alex signalled towards downstairs, and Waltz immediately caught on to his message.The Rockefellers were on edge after all. Who knows when they’re going to send over hitmen again? Alex needed to make sure that Brittany was absolutely safe before leaving. Comment by Melisa Chan: not sure if this should be past or present?Due to Claire’s incident, Alex had to rush out this morning as well, leaving Brittany alone at home. This had already made him quite uneasy. And with Anthony’s death, he couldn’t bring himself to turn a blind eye to it.“I’ll make another call.” Waltz smiled.This time, Waltz called Azure.“Alright, Azure would be here in a bit. He’s bringing a few of our men to protect this place too.”Alex furrowed his eyebrows. “Don’t cause too much of a ruckus. My mom might not like that I’m in contact with people from Thousand Miles Conglomerate.”Waltz turned around and glared at him. “What’s wrong with Thousand Miles Conglomerate? Are you looking down on us?”Alex deci

    “What?” “This one is missing a leg! It won’t even stand upright, what use could it be?” Waltz spoke up, visibly confused.Alex’s eyes lit up and replied calmly, “It’s the heaviest.”Waltz was speechless. “I guess we’re buying the scrap metal then. Hey, Tobias, my brother wants the shabbiest one. What’s your price? Weigh it and get this over with.”Alex smiled without saying a word, he was extremely excited.The shabby alchemy stove may be missing a leg, but it was the best out of the three. He could feel a slight flow of energy within the stove. This indicates that this shabby stove could be a mystical object.Tobias smiled. “Ms. Fleur, if your brother likes it, he can just take it, I won’t ask for money! This thing was a waste of space anyway. I would’ve thrown it out if the base wasn’t still intact.”“Okay, I’ll be taking it then.”The stove wasn’t big, yet it was quite heavy.However, such weight was nothing to Alex.Just as they were leaving the store, someone barged in

    She was wearing an expensive Chanel outfit, paired with an LV purse as well. She looked just like any other rich lady. She was clinging to a man, though the man was no longer the one he saw the last time. Instead, this time he was a greasy old man in his 40s.However, this was quite normal for Chloe—she could move on from one man to another with great speed.Just then, Chloe noticed Alex as well.Startled, she immediately put on a smug face and glared at him angrily.She had been slapped multiple times back in L.G. Balfour and put the blame on Alex completely. She later heard that Alex was only able to buy jewellery due to Thousand Miles Conglomerate owing a favor to his father. He was still the loser that relied on the Assexes after all.Why would she be scared of him now, then?She immediately said out loud, “Alex, why are you here? You useless loser of a sissy! Are you trying to get yourself a cheap deal? Can you even afford them?”Alex was expressionless. “What concern is th

    It was normal for someone like Chloe to not recognize Waltz.Besides, Ryan, who claims that he’s the manager of Thousand Miles Conglomerate didn’t recognize her as well. Waltz was Lex’s goddaughter after all—Princess Fleur of Thousand Miles Conglomerate—hence, only the core members in Hell’s Angels were able to meet Waltz.Ryan, on the other hand, was just one of the insignificant managers within Thousand Miles Conglomerate’s many companies.Tobias was fully aware of Waltz’s identity.However, he didn’t want to speak up. No one would listen to a chubby man like him anyway. Thus, he just stood silently in the crowd, watching Chloe dig her own grave. He couldn’t help but put on a cold smirk—he knew he was in for a good show.‘This is so exciting!’Waltz was furious as she took five steps forward.However, the crowd was oblivious to Waltz’s identity as well. Under Chloe’s influence, they foolishly insulted Waltz...“I really didn’t expect this gorgeous girl to be working in a nigh

    The leader approached them and stared at Ryan.Ryan, on the other hand, had already prepared his worker tag for identification. The leader of the group yelled, “So who was the one with the balls to break our fellow manager’s leg? Own up to it now and I’ll just break one of yours. If not, you’ll have to bear further consequences.”Chloe couldn’t hold in her anger anymore. She pointed at Waltz. “It was her, that b*tch of a prostitute! She broke my husband’s leg and knocked my teeth out! Beat her up now! Lock her up in a cage! Humiliate her in public! Just do something!”The group of men looked towards Waltz and were stunned.“Ms…”“It was me,” Waltz said dismissively without even lifting her gaze.The leader was sweating cold bullets.Ryan may not recognize Waltz. But, the leader was one of the members in the underground association. How could he not recognize her?‘This was truly a big mistake on Ryan’s end due to his unfamiliarity with Waltz… No, his wife called Princess Fleur

    Waltz disliked being put in the spotlight in such a way. She pulled Alex to the side. “Let’s go, Brother! I heard stone gambling is highly risky. And to be honest, you don’t need any more money. What’s so great about this anyway? Let’s just get those pills done!”‘Pills?’ Taken out of context, many people misunderstood her words.Everyone stared at the two puzzledly. Could it be that Princess Fleur from Thousand Miles Conglomerate was that type of person?However, no one dared to speak up against her.Alex shook his head. “I’d like to buy some for fun.”Waltz waved dismissively. “Fine, have some fun then. Which one would you like? I’ll get it for you.”‘Tsk tsk, just look at her, isn’t she just wife material?’The men in the area took glances at Alex—they were extremely jealous of him.Apart from Waltz’s status, her appearance was just ethereal compared to most women. As someone who was able to win Waltz’s heart over, they figured that Alex must be of high status and quite re

    Waltz was infuriated. Even the crowd gathered up their courage to start gossiping about them upon Dickinson’s appearance...“Mr. Will kept this ore here for more than a year but no one wanted to buy it.”“Just look at it, it’s so dull. How could it be in the green? Anyone with any gambling experience would know that that’s just a useless rock. Only those who are inexperienced would think otherwise.”“As Princess Fleur’s brother, you’d think he'd know better. Who is this guy anyway?”Waltz glared at Alex as she heard the insults, clearly frustrated and annoyed. Alex turned to Dickinson and said calmly, “If there really was a jade within this rock, what would you do?”Dickinson cackled. “If this cesspool rock does have a jade in it, I’ll eat this rock up.”“Okay then, you promised.”Suddenly, Alex remembered that Charis had said something similar before. He didn’t really hold a grudge against her and let her off easy… However, this guy was another case.“Excuse me, cut it open

    Dickinson wasn’t the only one who was appalled.Everyone in the crowd had widened eyes and mouths agape. They were pushing against each other, trying to peek at the stone as much as they could.Some even took out their phones to take pictures—they wanted to post about it on their social media pages. This was a once in a lifetime experience.As for the store owner, Mr. Will, he was turning green as soon as he saw the emerald in the ore. Even just from its slightly exposed surface, he could see it’s magnificent glow and vibrant color. This was an exceptionally rare piece. Based on its market value, it could be sold for more than 100 million.This was 100 million that they were talking about!He had stored this ore for more than a year, yet he didn’t realize its value at all. He regretted his decision immensely.However, gambling was solely based on luck after all.As someone who had been in the mining industry for quite some time, this was the first time that Mr. Will had ever see

    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

    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.

    The Earth was in peril, and everyone's life was on the line.Grand Emperor Rowan made a bold move and unleashed his most powerful attack...The gates of the Six Eternities all opened, and ghosts cried out from within the gusts of gloomy wind.It blasted straight towards the altar, which was being controlled by the Ancient Divinity and others, as well as the countless sacrificed flesh and blood."The Six Eternities?""Good guy, this magical treasure has vanished for countless years, but it has actually appeared in this mole's body. 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!"

    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
