“It all started when your father recovered a sunken ship.”“He got his hands on an object in the ancient shipwreck — the Holy Book.”“It was actually a turtle shell. However, mysterious symbols and ancient scripts were inscribed on the turtle shell. It was understood to be some kind of secret manual for ancient, mystical martial arts, or even the true doctrine of cultivation techniques.”When Frank said this, he stole a glimpse at Alex and continued, “I did not believe it at first but the truth is now laid bare in front of my eyes. You must have received the secret manual of the martial arts from the Holy Book!”Alex refused to make any comment, but deep down, he was extremely shocked.The Holy Book?He had never heard of this object. His mother, Brittany, did not mention it to him, not even once.“What does it have to do with Gokudo Soshiki then?” he asked.“Unfortunately, a few parties inadvertently got wind of your father’s discovery of the Holy Book, one of them being Japan
Alex frowned and said, “The ashes do not belong to my father.”He decided not to reveal that it belonged to an old sow instead.“What? How do you know?”“I said this because I have full conviction.”“That’s weird, then…” Frank’s expression changed as if he suddenly remembered something. “Could it be that your father is still alive?”“What do you have in mind? If you have something useful for me, maybe, I can spare your life.”Whoever in this world would not cherish their lives?As Frank’s survival instincts were kicked into gear upon hearing Alex’s proclamation.“You father had been behaving rather oddly in the last few months prior to the accident. Pepper Kimmich once mentioned that she saw a burst of extremely terrifying energy emitted from your father’s body, but she couldn’t tell clearly what exactly it was. However, since then she started suspecting that your father had already decoded some of the hidden knowledge on the shell. It was just that he hid them so deeply that y
After going out to find Lord Lex, Alex immediately said, “One of the projects in the Southern California Business Association Battles is named the Sky Tower, Lord Lex. I want you to take that.”Lord Lex also heard about the names of the projects in the SCBA Battles this time.He was instantly surprised after hearing Alex’s request. He smiled bitterly. “The project of the Sky Tower is the most important and largest among the resources allocated in the SCBA Battles this time, Mr. Rockefeller. I can’t stress just how many people have their eyes set on it, I… don’t think I am up for the job!”“How can we get it, then?”“As the champion of the tournament. However, throngs of expert contenders will be expected to show up. Not to mention local fighters from Southern California, there are also hired strange people and even foreign experts. Some forces are willing to fight one another to death for the best resources… Unfortunately, we do not have anybody qualified enough at Thousand Miles.
‘Okay, so you admitted that what you said earlier wasn't serious stuff.’“The products of Lush Cosmetics developed by your mother are too great, they are too wonderful! We are running out of stock for these two products at Belle Blossom and your City Salon! The number of people on the waiting list is already in the thousands, can you believe it? What should I do?”She was worried yet jubilant despite the predicament.In just a few days, the upsurge of Belle Blossom’s popularity was seen among the circles of female socialites in California. The booming popularity was mainly due to a heiress from a certain great family in California. She was Lily Coleman, the heiress to the Coleman family, one of the four great families of California. In terms of facial features and figure, she was the best of the best. Unfortunately, she was born with a pockmarked face.Clusters of freckles were visible all over her face, people with trypophobia would have goosebumps all over their bodies after seei
Alex frowned. “I haven’t disclosed why I came here yet, and you are bent on kicking me out already?”A round-faced security guard replied, “What else could you be up to? I have seen many people like you, aren’t you the security guard from the parking lot located opposite our salon? Is it too hot outside, so you are here to scrounge for the free air conditioning? Are you even worthy to do so? Look at the expensive marbles inside, what if you soiled them, can you afford to pay for it?”“I did not come to cool myself down.”“Then, are you here to apply for the position of security guard? I am sorry, our security guards have high standards. Poor bumpkins like you are not qualified for the job. Hurry and get out of my sight as far away as possible, you are such an eyesore.”The other guard deeply agreed and chimed in, “This bumpkin right here must be envious of us so he also wants to apply to be a security guard here. Our security guards at City Salon are well-treated. Other than high s
Rumors had it that half of the male students in her high school had written love letters to her back then.Yet, after many years later, they met again.Her eyes, once intelligent and glossy, were not what they used to be. What changed was how weathered they looked now. The innocence and naivety once radiated in those eyes would never come back.“I can’t believe you still remember your former classmate.” Hannah broke out into a faint smile, like a flower in bloom, oozing charm and allure.Her face was extremely enamoring, though she only had light make-up on.Both security guards were shocked to hear Hannah’s words.The poor bumpkin who was standing right in front of them was actually Miss Nancy’s acquaintance.Damn!What should they do?Would Miss Nancy fire them over the bumpkin?With a smile on his face, Alex said, “I really didn’t expect to see you here. Do you work here now?”A trace of pride slowly crept up Hannah’s face as she said, “Yes, I am the reception manager for
Hailey headed for Alex in her heels. Never did she expect that Hannah would stop her in her tracks.In fact, Hailey did not know the reception manager at all since she had just taken over City salon. With a slight frown on her face, she immediately asked, “What do you need from me?”Actually, Hannah had been waiting to meet Hailey.That was because after the change of ownership at City Salon, Jackie Luden, who was initially in charge of the salon, left. On the other hand, Hailey was the owner of Belle Blossom, she was too occupied to take charge of both establishments. Apparently, she wanted to hire a capable general manager to manage City Salon.For Hannah, this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. So, she had to take initiative and offer herself for the position.At this moment, after seeing Hailey taking initiative to ask her, Hannah quickly said, “Well, I heard that City Salon is looking for a general manager to manage its daily operations. I feel that I have the confidence a
“The boss that you insulted is him!” Hailey pointed at Alex.“He… he is…” Hannah widened her eyes in disbelief as she was extremely shocked.Hailey said, “Yes, Alex Rockefeller is your boss, the actual CEO of City Salon! From now on, you are fired!”“Argh!” After receiving Hailey’s firm response, Hannah was all shaken up as her face was as white as a sheet.“No, this is impossible. How could he be the owner of City Salon?”Hailey wanted nothing to do with her. “Go to the finance department and take your check now, begone!”Hannah’s legs trembled and almost collapsed onto the floor.City Salon had a bright future ahead, especially now with the addition of Lush Cosmetics, the salon raked in huge profits daily. Despite great hardships, she managed to climb up the ladder to become the reception manager. She even sacrificed her body and slept with Jackie Lundel for several times behind her boyfriend’s back to achieve her goal.However, now she was relieved of her job.She could not
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
