Bill Rockefeller had no prior knowledge of Alex and Brittany Rockefeller’s presence.

He arrived at six in the evening.

Compared to a few days ago where he looked glum and morose after receiving a slap on the face from Lord Lex Gunther, Bill was a completely different man today. He was in high spirits and laughed as he entered the room. “Gavin! What’s up with you? Really rare of you to invite me for a drink, eh!”

He then saw Alex standing at the side.

His smile faded from his face. “Traitor, what are you doing here?”

Bill had the shock of his life the other day and pushed all blame onto Alex, seeing that he was still a good-for-nothing brat.

Alex looked straight ahead and remained silent.

Instead, Brittany spoke, “Father, Alex is still your grandson. How can you say those things to him?”

“Ah! Brittany...You’re alive?”

Bill was startled.

“Indeed, I am. You don’t seem too happy about this, though?”

Returning to his senses, Bill’s expression darkened as he snapped angrily, “The

    Alex Rockefeller quickly intercepted and grabbed Bill by the hand mid-air.He glared and sneered. “Old fool, enjoy the last days of standing up. Your happy days are numbered.”Earlier, he observed Bill Rockefeller having a serious case of blocked arteries in his brain. It wouldn’t be long before he would suffer a stroke and become bedridden.To say Bill was mad was an understatement. He left in a rage.Gavin Cole sighed, “I have no idea why he is in such a bad mood. You all are a family, aren’t you? Don’t worry, Brittany. I’ll talk to him.”Brittany remained silent.Brittany and Alex wanted to meet Bill to find out his sentiment, but the response was even worse than expected.Bill did not take the death of William Rockefeller seriously. His attitude toward Brittany and Alex was atrocious. The truth did not matter. All he wanted was for them to leave the Rockefeller family, like trash being swept out of the house.It started drizzling when they left Cole Residence. The autumn

    John Rockefeller’s heart leaped hearing the news.But he soon calmed down. “So what if she wakes up? She is now a woman of infamy and has nothing to her name. She is no match for us.”Bill Rockefeller suddenly lowered his voice. “John, Brittany said that she possessed evidence of your corrupt practices and also your ties with the Japanese. Do you think that’s going to be okay?”John snickered. “Father, it happened more than half a year ago. Even if there is something fishy, any trace of it would have been gone by now.”Bill breathed a sigh of relief. “Thank goodness. Anyhow, Rockefeller Group can never fall into the hands of Alex, that bastard.”Alex would be disturbed by Bill’s statement.“Don’t worry. It will never happen. Even till his death, William did not even have an inkling who he actually was. That fool! He would never have expected to toil his life away only for his efforts to be seized by others.”It was noon the next day at Assex Manor.Lugging her suitcases along,

    Brittany Rockefeller was unconscious and bedridden for more than six months, during which she could only be kept alive with IV fluids.Even as she regained consciousness, it would take time for her to recuperate and recover.With that in mind, Alex Rockefeller wrote a prescription to hasten her recovery process.However, he did not possess a medical license. As such, he was not allowed to obtain the various drugs needed from pharmacies and hospitals alike. Only Cheryl Coney could help. Hence, he dialed her number.Cheryl was at the hospital as they spoke and agreed to it immediately. Plus, she was also very fascinated by Alex’s prescription.Speeding along the streets in his M8, he arrived at the hospital in no time.Cheryl was talking to a family member of a patient in her office. It was pleasing to see her speak in a gentle voice and carry herself so graciously. Dorothy Assex, on the other hand.It had been a long time since Alex felt any warmth from her. Neglect and apathy

    Slapped by Dorothy Assex, Alex Rockefeller looked at her in astonishment while Cheryl Coney exclaimed, “How could you hit him!”Dorothy glared at the woman in the doctor’s robe and said, “What’s wrong with it, huh? We are still husband and wife, and you are nothing but a mistress!”A nurse came by then, wanting to see Cheryl, and was quickly distracted by the drama unfolding before her eyes.All she could think of was Cheryl Coney, the granddaughter of California’s Miracle Doctor and the hospital’s star, being somebody else’s mistress.Alex frowned, seeing the nurse’s presence. Hurriedly, he pulled Dorothy aside and said, “Stop talking nonsense. There is nothing between Doctor Coney and me!”Dorothy violently shook her hand. “Get your hands off me! What were you doing, huh? I saw everything!”The scene attracted the attention of a few more nurses.Alex understood the danger if things were left to their own accord. Dragging Dorothy behind him, Alex leaped for the exit. “My apolog

    Alex Rockefeller wanted to take the call outside of the car, but that would make him look guilty of any wrongdoing.He explained, “It’s Doctor Coney. I needed her help to prepare a prescription.”He should not have explained, as Dorothy Assex quickly added, “Are you going to go on speaker mode?”“Why not?” replied Alex.“Hello, Doctor Coney!” He greeted me after accepting the call and started to switch on the speaker mode.Unexpectedly, Cheryl replied in a slightly flirtatious voice, “Why are you calling me Doctor Coney? Just call me Cheryl instead now that we are not in the hospital anymore.”Alex shivered.He noticed a murderous aura emanating from Dorothy.“Uhm, is there anything you want to talk to me about?”“I just want to know… if you are okay?”Alex replied, “Of course! Don’t worry.”Cheryl smiled. “Your ex-wife is quite the character, isn’t she? I was a little frightened just now. So, how are things between you and her? I thought you were divorced, so why is she sti

    An hour later at the Assex Manor.Dorothy Assex returned with a miserable expression.Seeing that, Claire Assex was pleased and said smugly, “I told you, right? The county courthouse opens at nine in the morning tomorrow. We are going to file your divorce immediately.”“Nobody is getting a divorce here,” Dorothy said coldly.Claire immediately jumped on her two feet. “Dorothy, just how smitten are you? What is so good about him? Even after what he did to you? Look, I know Spark Rockefeller likes you. Let me talk to him tomorrow.”“Mother, what is wrong with you? Did you forget what that jerk did to me?” “At least he is better than Alex! He cheated on you!” replied Claire.Dorothy stormed upstairs without saying anything else, and she was not in the mood to have dinner.It was seven o’clock at night when Dorothy received a phone call from Shermaine Ford. “Lady Assex, headquarters called saying that an important meeting will be held tomorrow at nine at our company. The board of

    Shermaine Ford betrayed her.Dorothy Assex was infuriated. After all, she guided Shermaine to where she was today. From giving her an opportunity right after high school to entrust her with managerial roles and repay her loans, she was an immense help throughout it all.At the end of the day, Shermaine chose to side with Emma Assex and played a nasty trick on Dorothy, embarrassing herself in an important meeting. A true traitor.Emma, who was Anderson’s daughter and the rumored person to replace Dorothy as the new general manager, looked at Dorothy with a smirk on her face. “Lady Assex, I believe your secretary gave you the right information. I think you overslept. Alas, that abandoned son of Rockefeller brought us a massive contract in exchange for a favor, but you had to mess it up. I know you were upset and chose to make up for it in the bedroom. However, please do not get caught up in your own desire. You have a company to run.”Dorothy’s expression was as frosty as the winds

    She then left.Not long after, an email titled “Dorothy Assex dismissed due to incapability, to be replaced by Emma Assex” was blasted out to every employee’s email address.Many felt the unjust treatment dished out to Dorothy. Especially the ones who worked alongside Dorothy when she started and knew just how much effort she put into the company. Yet…When Dorothy left with her personal belongings, nobody came to say goodbye.Everyone lowered their heads as if she did not exist.When she stepped out of the office, tears welled up in her eyes.Shermaine Ford was waiting at the exit.“I treated you as best as I could, why did you betray me?” demanded Dorothy in disbelief.Shermaine smiled coldly. “I chose to side with the better party. You cannot blame me for the fault lies on you, for being such a weak and insignificant member of the Assex family.”“I hope you will not regret your actions.” Dorothy nodded.“Of course not, good riddance!” Shermaine turned and walked away, sw

    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

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
