Alex took a glance at Emma and thought, ‘What a coincidence.’He walked to the sofa with Dorothy in hand and wiped the sofa slowly with some tissue before turning to her. “Come sit here, wifey. Mr. Hawk is still having a meeting now. We’ll just wait here till he’s done, then we’ll be able to sign the contract.”Dorothy nodded and sat on the sofa politely.Alex took a bottle of water out of his bag and opened the cap before handing it to her.The two acted as if no one was around, as if Emma and Ethan were nothing but thin air.Emma couldn’t hold back her anger any longer. She stood up and approached the two. “Dorothy, I asked you a question. Are you deaf? What contract are you here for? Who even told you to come here to sign a contract?” Dorothy took a few sips of water and handed the bottle to Alex. “Do you want some too?”“Sure!” Alex placed his lips where Dorothy’s lips were on the bottle and drank some water as well.Emma was enraged. She felt like something was going horr
The two remained seated, ignoring every word Ethan said.Ethan furrowed his eyebrows and his expression turned cold. “Hey, you two. I’m asking nicely for you to leave. I said that South Cali Structures would no longer be working with you.”Emma smiled brightly, still acting as cocky as ever. “Did you hear that? Why are you still here? Are you really that shameless? Oh, right, I heard you guys changed the company name to something like Dorothy-Alex Constructions and don’t have any working capital, so that means you’d go bankrupt if you don’t earn some money! Hey loser, Rockefeller. You should break it off with her while you still can. Why don’t you work as my slave? I might pity you if I’m in a good mood!”Alex replied calmly, “I think it’s still a little early to say who will be pitied in the end.”He then turned to Ethan. “Ethan Hawks, right? You’re not in charge of South Cali Structures just yet. Let’s wait till your father arrives. Only he has a say in this.”Ethan was enraged.
Emma’s eyes widened in disbelief as she watched Alex and Dorothy walk into Thomas’ office.She immediately turned to Ethan. “Baby, what’s happening? What contract is your father signing with Dorothy?”Ethan shook his head. “I’m not sure too. I’m not that familiar with how things work in my dad’s company.”Emma huffed frustratedly. “Dorothy’s damn company used to be one of our subsidiary companies. They’re this close to going bankrupt. If your dad does work with such a small company, he’d run into a lot of problems during the process. You have to convince your dad, or else it’d be too late!”“Uhm… yeah, I know, I know.” Ethan dismissed her remarks, clearly bothered by his father’s expression earlier. He could tell something was amiss.Alex and Dorothy left the CEO’s office after just ten minutes. The contract had been signed successfully.Before they came, Charles had already discussed with Thomas about the details of the contract. They had even settled the terms and conditions be
As the yelling continued, Ethan walked out of the office.Emma rushed over to him. “Baby, this woman said that Dorothy-Alex Constructions had signed the contract for the Five Rings Project. Is that true? Please tell your dad that he shouldn’t! Only Assex Constructions could sign this contract. Didn’t you promise me that? Go, just go in and tell—”Ethan interrupted her. “Emma, please leave. Let’s not see each other ever again.”Emma froze. “What? What did you just say, Ethan?”Ethan turned to the guards. “If she won’t leave, make her.”“Yes, master!”Emma finally realized that he had broken up with her.She was infuriated. “Ethan Hawk, you jerk! Don’t you remember what you promised me in bed last night? You bastard! How could you break your promises? You’re inhumane, go rot in hell!”Suddenly, a guard slapped her hard across the face.“How dare you insult our young master? Do you have a death wish?”“Throw her out now!”Ten minutes later, at Assex Manor.The old lady was in
Claire hated this family.She hated the woman, Madam White, especially, as she would always boast about her son-in-law to the point that it was getting very annoying. Claire clicked her tongue out of frustration. “What are you guys doing here?”Madam White chuckled. “I’m here to look for a nice place to buy, what else? Oh, did you think I’m here just to window-shop like you?”Beatrice huffed. “How would you know if we can afford a villa or not?”Madam White laughed louder. “Of course I do, we’re neighbours after all! How would I not know? I heard that your villa will be taken away by the Assexes, which is probably why you need a new place soon! But do you guys know that villas in Senna Port cost more than ten million? Not just anyone could buy a villa in this area, you know? There’s no way you could use a twenty million dollar fake cheque here.”Madam White’ son-in-law asked, “Twenty million dollar fake cheque?”She cackled and pointed to Alex. “That’s Claire’s son-in-law. He h
Priscilla led them to the models.Madam White was secretly observing them from the other side. She said mockingly, “Young lady, your colleague over there is going to be doing charity work. How could that family ever buy a property? I’m their neighbour, so I know them well. They’re just bluffing so they could seem richer than they really are.”The saleswoman nodded and smiled. “It doesn’t matter, she’s a part-timer anyway! So, Madam White, have you decided on any of the villas here? Would you like me to bring you to the actual site?”“Yes, let’s go!”After looking around the area, the family of three came back to the main hall. Madam White was very excited, she was fond of every single villa in this area.The saleswoman seemed to be excited too. She thought, ‘Thank god I ditched that poor family for these people. Looks like I might actually sell one villa today.’With this thought in mind, she enthusiastically gave them a few suggestions.However, Madam White’ son-in- law repli
Beatrice could feel her ears ringing, it was as if her brain had malfunctioned.Her favourite idol, the one and only Zendaya, had done… that with her brother-in-law. She couldn’t believe it at all.“How could this be?’‘How?’She looked up to look for Alex and noticed that he was looking at the river from the balcony. He wasn’t moving a muscle, it was hard to tell what he was thinking about.She just couldn’t resist herself and rushed over.“What’s up with this? Explain this to me!” Beatrice’s face was twisted as she showed the news article on her phone to Alex.“What’s up with what?” Alex took a glance at her and furrowed his eyebrows. He then took her phone to read the news article.He couldn’t believe what he was reading, it was just too ridiculous.The photo was from last night, a photo of him leaving The Hilton with Zendaya. However, the article was completely false, everything was made up. They claimed that their fingers were intertwined, looking into each other’s eyes l
Zendaya’s team was very efficient.Within half an hour, they released a notice to clarify the rumors. The notice mentioned that they were just visiting a friend, the female news reporter from Sweden.They also clarified that Alex was her bodyguard.With this explanation, everything was cleared up.As a superstar like Zendaya, it was normal for her to have a bodyguard accompany her, especially after the assassins she encountered at the concert.Moreover, the notice included a lawsuit to sue the paparazzi that spread the rumors as well. They had decided to find out who it was and sue them to oblivion.Zendaya was part of the Stoermer family in Michigan, hence she had lots of connections. She was able to find who the paparazzi was. An hour later, the paparazzi admitted to the public that they had fabricated the news and took the photos without permission to spread such rumors for viewership.In just a few moments, this shocking news had died down without difficulty on Zendaya’s end
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!" Phoenix exclaimed right away.Everyone started assisting Grand Emperor Rowan.The Six Eternities, a magical treasure, did not disappoi
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
