James was clearly unhappy with their sudden appearance.

Cheryl was exceptionally annoyed by the old man’s words too, her face was filled with disgust.

‘What do you mean by ‘spinster’?

‘I just have high standards for men!’

James replied, “What brings you here, Wilson? What makes you think I’d welcome you at my doorstep? Were you banned from working in Michigan? Is that why?”

This old man was Patrick Wilson, he had quite a history with James. The two used to be apprentices under a famous doctor, they were like godbrothers. James was older than Patrick, so became the older brother.

However, Patrick didn’t learn medicine to save lives, he wanted the money.

Back then, he would use his master’s title to scam others. This was why their master expelled him and was no longer deemed as one of his disciples. However, Patrick had the mind of a businessman. Even though he couldn’t become a famous doctor, he managed to start up a health care centre, selling ancient spa treatments.

    Patrick approached Alex and dragged him closer. “Hey brat, I don’t care who you are. Cherry is definitely going to be my granddaughter-in-law. Tell me, how much money is enough to make you leave her?”‘Pretty intimidating and ruthless, huh?’Alex furrowed his eyebrows, he was about to snap.Grandma yelled. “Stop it this instance, Patrick! My granddaughter hasn’t married yet, but their wedding is near. We’ve already agreed on giving him her hand in marriage long ago. What? Do you really want to become a homewrecker?”Patrick was furious. “Bullsh*t! Cherry is my granddaughter-in-law, her father gave us her hand in marriage back then. Are you trying to go back on your word? Do you need me to bring your son over to make things clear? Besides, Coney, don’t you dare forget who saved you from drowning back then. Are you that ungrateful? And you call yourself a miracle doctor?”Patrick seemed to have stunned everyone with his words.Alex noticed that Cheryl’s eyes were filled with hatred

    Gasp!Zachary’s hearty laughter stopped abruptly, as if a lively aged duck that had its neck suddenly pinched, waiting to be slaughtered.In that instant, he was flushed with anger.Alex nonchalantly said, “Aha, did I just expose the truth?”“Nonsense! You’re the one with wet dreams, same goes to all your family members!” Zachary was infuriated.It was his greatest pain as it happened almost every night. In the middle of the night, he was always jolted awake by the discharge, and had to clean up after himself. It was so bad that he dared not share a bedroom with his classmates when he was studying overseas, fearing his condition would be exposed.However, Alex exposed his woe right in front of Cheryl, so he felt searing pain in humiliation as if his skin was being torn off.Therefore, he would never admit to it.Cheryl and James looked at Zachary amusingly.James said, “Zachary, why don’t I check your pulse and see if it is legitimate? If it is true, it might affect your repro

    However, the defeated opponent was not Alex Rockefeller.Cheryl looked at Alex with emotions pouring out of her eyes.However, Alex’s attention was on Patrick instead. “What do you think?”Patrick chuckled. “I go with whatever Zachary says. It’s all on you, little genius doctor.”Only then did Alex nod.Zachary’s ailment was nothing but a piece of cake for him.....An hour later at a neighbourhood park.“Your marriage arrangement is now annulled. You are free now, so you do not have to look for a man to pretend to be your boyfriend anymore.” Alex smiled at Cheryl, who had her hand wrapped around his arm.What Alex meant was a not-so-subtle hint for Cheryl to leave him alone.Yet, Cheryl seemed oblivious. “I do not care for the marriage arrangement anyway, it can’t constrain me. Whatever that man said has got nothing to do with me.”“That man… Your father?”“You can say so.”Alex did not say anything else as he knew that it must be a trauma that she did not want to mention

    What?As Cheryl headed back to her house after finishing her speech, Alex’s anxious voice could be heard from behind. “Dorothy! Dorothy! Hello! Listen to me, it’s not what you think! I…. Hello, hello! Hello...”Cheryl’s sweet stir had destroyed Alex’s hope in an instant. Not to mention going on a midnight movie date with Dorothy, he feared that she might not let him enter the house next time.How could Dorothy feel good after hearing Cheryl’s loving yet ambiguous voice over the phone in such late night?So, she was infuriated and immediately ended the call.Immediately, Alex dialed her number but it was not picked up.Then, he called again but her phone had been turned off.Helplessly, he could only send her a message explaining that he was invited by Dr. James Coney to a birthday celebration, conveniently leaving out the fact that he was the only outsider invited and he pretended to be Cheryl’s boyfriend.The night passed.The next morning, he called Dorothy again.

    “I’ll be back by afternoon, and I’ll bring a watermelon for you later. Be a good boy at home!”Only now did Alex know that Waltz had a legitimate profession. Apparently, she was the head businesswoman of all maritime businesses in California.As the clock struck nine, Alex went down to the basement and attempted his pill concoction.Why would he need a cauldron for pill concoction?This was because pill concoction was different from medicinal cooking, in which the herbs just had to be thrown into a cooking pot in order to be cooked. After all, it was just medicine, so its effects were incomparable with concocted pills. Since each portion of medicinal herb had different properties, the purpose of pill concoction was to eliminate all the useless portions of the herbs, leaving only the essential portions. Then, the essential portions would be supplemented with Chi, or even the essence of heaven and earth, to be condensed into one single pill.Therefore, regular cooking pots could not

    Why would Michelle want Alex to accompany her to an auction of medicinal herbs?That was because during the period of time, the Yowell family had been mobilizing their people to gather the medicinal herbs requested by Alex. Yet, a few precious herbs slipped through their grasp.She heard that a good number of century-old medicinal herbs would be auctioned in this particular auction, so she had to check it out.As for the herbs’ efficacy, only Alex knew best.Alex was thrilled. Just moments ago, he was told by Waltz that Pepper Kimmich would be attending the auction of medicinal herbs, and now Michelle came to invite him to it. Everything just happened according to his wish.That being said…“Are you the only one left? Why did the Yowell family send you, a little girl, instead?” replied Alex indifferently.“Little girl? I am not little!”“Um, indeed you aren’t.”Alex had to concur with her. There was a reason that she was known to have a youthful face with huge busts. If a matu

    “So close, yet so far. I am almost there, though.” She started jumping around like an energetic maniac, running toward Alex and kissed him suddenly.Brittany was initially in her room on the second floor but came out after hearing Waltz’s voices. She just saw the scene unfolding in front of her eyes as she looked down from the helical staircase.Gently shaking her head, she retreated into her room.…Alex headed to the auction of precious medicinal herbs by himself at half-past five. The auction was held in the form of a cocktail party on the highest floor of California’s Splendor Center.He entered the auction hall without any hiccups after mentioning Michelle’s name at the entrance.At this moment at the entrance of Splendor Center, a group of young men and women were chatting among themselves as they entered the building. Among them was a young lady in a white dress, she was Alex’s sister-in-law — Beatrice Assex.The other three were the ones that Alex saw back at the car dea

    Alex stole a glimpse at Beatrice for a second, then he slowly picked up a piece of Australian lobster meat and put it into his mouth. He continued eating his lobster with a content expression on his face, as if she did not exist.Beatrice was vexed as she thought, ‘What did he mean? Am I a non-existent dead person?’Beatrice was red-faced, with her eyes widened. “Rockefeller, you trash! Are you deaf? I am talking to you! Why are you here? How did you get in?”In her eyes, Alex was still a good-for-nothing trash who could do nothing else but lived off her sister. She just got angry every time she saw him, especially her temper got worse after he dared to hit her recently.Deigning to even look at her, Alex said indifferently, “What does it have to do with you? Stop bothering me.”What?Beatrice was infuriated and quite frankly, appalled at his attitude as she thought, ‘This trash just rides roughshod over others at home, by taking advantage of my sister’s help.

    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.

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.

    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
