Spending the night in a Presidential Suite as an apology?

Wasn’t that a thinly-veiled invitation for them to get intimate?

Two more months to their first wedding anniversary, but he had yet to do it.

He could pretend not to bother, but as a man, how long could he keep his act up?

“Sounds good!” Alex replied eagerly. “Should I get us some stuff?”

“Stuff? What do we need?” Dorothy Assex asked coyly.

“Of course! Well, some protection… or perhaps, there is a, you know, kink you want to try out?”

“I… um… I gotta go. Here’s the address, come quick! I… I love you.” Dorothy’s heart was fluttering madly as she spoke those words, which she had never said before.

Alex almost squealed in joy. He wanted to be at the Landison hotel as quick as his car could take him.

However, he promised Cheryl Coney to check in on the patients. “Darling, do you mind waiting for a while? I have some matters to attend… at home. I will be there latest, by, say, nine-thirty?”

“Okay!”

    Surrounded by so many people, Cheryl Coney found it extremely difficult to navigate out of the crowd. She yelled but to little effect as some even tried to take advantage of the chaos to touch her inappropriately.Alex Rockefeller let out a soft grunt, immediately releasing his Chi in a three-meter radius around his body. Nudged by a strong, invisible force, the crowd was pushed aside as they cleared the way for Alex and Cheryl.Upon entering Cheryl’s office, Alex suddenly remembered that his phone was running out of battery. Afraid that he could not contact Dorothy later, he asked Cheryl to charge his phone.Moments later, a nurse came rushing by.“Doctor Coney, the experts are here. Assistant Director Rashford wants you to attend the meeting.”“Will be there.” Cheryl then turned her gaze toward Alex. “Why don’t you come with me too?”Alex had no objections.Before they left, Cheryl put on a doctor’s gown on Alex so he could pretend to be her assistant. There were a dozen peo

    Everyone instantly looked toward Cheryl Coney and Alex Rockefeller.As a doctor of the hospital and head of wards, they knew who Cheryl was. As for the man beside her, however…“I don’t think I have seen this doctor before. Have you?”“No, is he new here?”Of course, with Cheryl being James Coney’s granddaughter, she wasn’t worried at all that Alex’s identity would be exposed.Nevertheless, Clarence Fawl looked at Alex with an unfriendly gaze. “I suppose you know something, my friend? Can you tell us what it was, and perhaps introduce yourself?”Alex shook his head. “I have not seen the patients, so I have no comments.”“Since you have not seen them, I wonder why you’ve been allowed to attend the meeting? This is an emergency meeting, and we do not want any distractions,” said Clarence with feigned surprise.Meanwhile, assistant director Rashford went right up to Alex’s face and stared him down. “Who are you? Do you work here?”“No, I do not,” Alex answered.“Well then, how d

    The crowd looked at Alex Rockefeller’s wrist, and lo and behold, it really was a Patek Phillipe watch.Yet, the clothes on his body were cheap, mass-produced merchandise. The watch didn’t match his look at all.And then, they came to a realization.Alex wasn’t a doctor but a conman who managed to trick Cheryl with his fake watch and identity. As the prettiest doctor in the hospital, Cheryl was wildly popular among the male doctors.“I have never seen a conman who could scam his way into a hospital’s meeting! Get out; we don’t want you here!”“Isn’t that right? Doctor Coney, you have to be careful of whom you talk to!”“You know what, we have no right interfering in your personal life. But, it’s outrageous that you bring non-medical personnel into the conference room!”A doctor, whose opportunity of being the department head had been shattered by Cheryl, could not stop criticizing.Alex looked at his wristwatch, not realizing that it would become a target of derision.“This is

    ‘What?’‘Mr. Yoke addressing him as ‘sir’? How old is this guy anyway? What makes him so special?’‘A liar, he’s nothing but a liar! He’s tricked both Cheryl and Mr. Yoke. I’ll definitely expose your lies!’Clarence’s thoughts roared in his heart. His expressions were twisted, the corners of his mouth twitched uncontrollably.It was something he couldn't accept completely.Cheryl, who was standing at the side, was extremely shocked too. Wallace’s reputation far exceeded her grandfather’s, not to mention that the two elderly men were somewhat acquainted too. James had mentioned multiple times that he was no match for Wallace. His title as the best imperial doctor was well deserved.‘Even such an amazing doctor referred to Alex as ‘Sir.’ Just how skilled could Alex be?’Cheryl’s heart pounded, her eyes filled with admiration. She continued to stare at Alex with a gentle gaze.The dean, Lucifer North, was stunned as well. He rushed over and asked, “Mr. Yoke, this is…”Wallace rep

    After such a thought, she felt slightly embarrassed. Alex was a married man after all.Alex chuckled. “Oh don’t joke with me, Mr. Yoke. I’m married.”Wallace replied, “So what if you’re married? You can always get a divorce, right? And if you can’t, you can change your nationality to become Arabian. I have connections to help with that.”Both Alex and Cheryl fell silent.‘This old man is such a jester.’Within just a few moments, they arrived at the patients’ ward.Since all of these patients were filed as special cases, they were all placed together in one ward. This was more convenient for the medics responsible for their checkups.The first patient that they saw was a petite young girl.Next to her was her mother. Her mother’s eyes were red, she seemed to be on the edge of a mental breakdown. Who wouldn’t treasure their children? Having her daughter fall victim to such disaster, she felt as if the world was collapsing in front of her eyes. “Her name is Rose Carson, a stude

    “She’s alive, she’s revived! She’s actually revived!”“How did he do it? This doctor is amazing! I thought she was dead for sure!” The family of other patients rushed over as soon as Rose’s heart started beating again. They pointed, and hush chattering quickly surrounded her bed.Cheryl stopped them. “Please be quiet and give the patient some space.”Alex was able to sense the culprit within Rose’s body, an extremely odd and hidden deadly Chi.It was this flow of deadly Chi that was destroying her body little by little. Her body was already weak as she was drained of Yin, and this flow of Chi had pulled her into the depths of hell.Cheryl could tell that Alex’s expression was grim, as she quickly asked, “What wrong? Did you figure something out? Can she be cured despite her condition?”Alex, however, didn’t answer any of her questions. He replied with another question instead. “Have the cops arrested the culprit?”Cheryl shook her head. “I don’t think so.”Wallace added. “I hea

    However, some of them were only there to see Alex go down with humiliation, especially Clarence. After being slapped by Wallace, he couldn’t hold in his anger.“That Rockefeller guy must be a liar. He’s really skilled in his tricks. I have no idea how he managed to trick Mr. Yoke.” He said, visibly annoyed. He walked over to the two middle-aged men who came with Wallace and asked, “Do you know anything about that guy?”The two men were Wallace’s apprentices, and they were just as confused as well, as they have never seen Alex before. On the contrary, their master had always treated them harshly, supposedly as part of the training. Yet here he was, showing such adoration toward a young man, and they found it unacceptable.One of them shook their heads. “This is the first time we’re meeting him. We didn’t know that our country had such a young, capable expert.”Clarence said, “Then I was right. This guy must have used some sort of trick and fooled Mr. Yoke. He could've used voodoo fo

    Just then, Dorothy could feel every ounce of energy in her body draining away as her heart ran cold. She was so upset at that moment that tears instantly welled up in her eyes.She had wanted to give herself away to the man. She even wanted to pin him down and go on top of him. She had imagined so many different scenarios in her head. Yet, she didn’t think that the man would lie to her and be with some other woman.Dorothy wanted to hang up and block his contact right there and then. They wouldn’t have to see each other ever again and live their separate lives from then on.Even so, her heart ached so much. She felt like she was suffocating.Tears trickled down her cheeks.“What is he doing?” Dorothy asked without thinking. She felt stupid after asking such a question. ‘What else could he be doing, for a woman to answer his phone at night? It was obvious that they had just done the deed!’However, Cheryl replied, “He’s doing his duty as a doctor. Do you need anything? If not, I

    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 dark demonic lotus in his body was a little untenable.At this time.Earth.The node of destruction grew in size

    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
