Just then, Chad’s phone started ringing.

He looked at his phone screen and realized that it was a call from his uncle, Douglas Hunter.

His heart dropped to his stomach.

Chad knew that Douglas was the actual general manager of Sunshine Co.. He only bluffed in front of Heather a while ago.

‘If Uncle is calling me now, does that mean this punk had actually called him?’

He took a glance at Nicholas, but didn’t dare to not answer his uncle’s call.

After picking it up, he said respectfully, “Uncle—”

Right after that, a loud and harsh scolding came from the other line. “Chad, you f*cking piece of shit! What are you trying to pull out there? Have you offended someone? You better kneel before Mr. Hudson and the people in front of you and beg for forgiveness so they would reconsider acquiring Sunshine Co.! If you don’t, I’d break both your legs! You know I’m a man of my word!”

“U-Uncle, you… you’re joking, right?”

“Who the f*ck has the time to joke around with you? Give me your locatio

    The person who had arrived was Douglas.As if a slap wasn’t enough, he started punching Chad until his face swelled up.“Kneel down!“Apologize!”“Or I’ll break both of your legs!”Douglas seemed to be very energetic as his eyes glistened while he beat his nephew mercilessly. His punches were enough to knock two of Chad’s teeth out and give him a nosebleed. Chad was kicked in the knees and made to kneel even if he didn’t want to.This was enough to scare Adrien and his whole family.The family of three were just normal citizens—Adrien was just a normal worker of some hardware store.He was only able to become the leader of his team with a salary of five thousand dollars per month, just enough to provide for the family in a big city in Michigan.Scarlett, on the other hand, was just a janitor for an accounting firm, so her salary was much lower. This was why the two would usually be cautious at all times. They would never want to provoke or offend anyone.They were just to

    He finally spoke, nonchalantly. “Your stupid nephew didn’t really offend me. He just came here to court my bro’s girlfriend. He even tried using a thirty eight thousand necklace to provoke my bro, what a joke.”Thud!Douglas kicked Chad on his bottom, sending his face smashing to the ground before scolding him. “You bastard! Have you forgotten your family name just because you have a little damn cash? If your father didn’t die early, I would’ve broken both your legs ages ago!”Chad was crying hysterically as he pointed towards Heather. “Uncle, this woman was the one who approached me first, saying that she’d sell her niece to me… Well, I’m not married yet, so I’m just trying to bear a child and help keep my family bloodline! For Dad!”Chloe frowned upon hearing this. “Sell me to you? How much did she take?”Chad started stammering, hesitant to speak.However, Douglas slapped him right across the face again. “Say it!”Chad replied, “I gave her 300 thousand! And once I’ve slept wi

    Douglas's expression changed immediately as he stared at Alex with shock gracing his features.Alex gave a faint smile. “What? Did I say something wrong?Douglas shook his head, and asked in surprise. “Sir, how…how did you see through it?”Alex pointed to the bracelet on his wrist. “That mystical tool isn't too bad, it does help to offset some of the Yin energy. However, there is no way to remove all of it. So, Mr Hunter, you need to be careful. The burden on your body is pretty heavy. When the Yin energy seeps in deeper, it will reach a limit, and when that time comes, even the gods can't save you.”At that moment, thousands of expressions flitted across Douglas's face.After a while, he asked with the utmost respect in his tone. “Sir, are you a superior of the mystical people? Could you please save my daughter?”After speaking, he fell to his knees with a thud in front of Alex. He looked both agitated but nervous and expectant at the same time Alex waved his hands dismissivel

    Chloe’s parents were thoroughly satisfied.Nicholas introduced himself as the second generation of the demolition development in California. He owns several mansions back home that cost a fortune. And as if that wasn't enough, he also received performance shares that probably cost millions or even billions in the future.The chances of finding a son-in-law like this was one in a million. What more could her parents ask for?Chad heard all this as he knelt next to them. His heart prickled with embarrassment when he remembered how he had shown off a necklace worth thirty-eight thousand and how he boasted about having a child for twenty thousand. Oh, how he wanted to find a hole to hide in.Alex and Douglas finally came back.Douglas immediately dragged Chad up and left, while Alex stayed behind to celebrate Chloe's birthday with her family.Alex had arrived in a rush so he hadn't prepared any special presents. But after a bit of thought, he took out a blood energy pill, and smiled.

    In addition to being an experienced tomb raider, Douglas was also a master in martial arts. Clearing out a room full of medical staff was no problem.As the female doctor watched Douglas obey Alex's order, her anger reached the boiling point. She began screaming. "Have you lost your mind? What kind of father are you? Who is that man? Whether you’re a medical professor or a medical expert, you are being ridiculous. Get out this instance!"After chastising Douglas, she moved straight on to Alex.Alex had already placed a palm on Susan's chest, summoning his spiritual power.In the female doctor's eyes, this was an absolutely useless maneuver.Her eyes glared daggers though she held her tongue. Alex glanced at her through her mask and saw that her glossy dark eyes were bubbling with fury and hostility. From the looks of it, she was probably around twenty something.“If you can guarantee that you can save this patient, and sign the doctor's guarantee form, I'll leave right this secon

    The only difference was that the blood sealed inside was dull and weak with not much energy left in the spell. His thoughts raced.‘This really is…a sign of my father!‘Susan Hunter knew my father?‘The master that Douglas talked about was my father?’Douglas looked at Alex who had his daughter's necklace in one hand as he stared off into space. Just as he was about to remind him to do his job, his gaze fell upon the heart rate monitor and saw that it was slowly rising, the statistics slowly recovering.‘What a relief, Master Alex truly is superior!’Meanwhile, the medical staff out in the hallway had no idea what was happening so they had called security to rush into the room.“Open the door, open the door!”The sound of their batons was deafening. The door was about to be broken down.Alex frowned. “Douglas, guard the door and do not let anyone in. I'm treating your daughter right now and it is crucial that no one bothers me during this time.”Douglas nodded. “Yes, I unders

    “Will?”Alex suddenly felt his mind go numb as a worrisome thought popped into his head.His father's name was William Rockefeller, and the pearl had his father's blood in it. But she was calling him Will. ‘Did she mistake me for my father?’From her tone of voice, their relationship didn't seem to be just friends either.‘Could she be a mistress his father had outside of the family?‘Even Mom had no idea?’He started to feel sorry for his mother, Brittany, because Susan looked like a young, intelligent beauty despite being near death's door moments ago.Susan noticed that Alex stood there without speaking so she blinked and looked closer. “Oh, you…you're not…sorry, I mistook you for someone else.”After a pause, she asked. “Who are you?”Her voice was unique—throaty but soft, completely different from Angela Seay's voice, which made him feel ill. Susan's voice was pleasing and seductive to his ears.Alex thought. ‘Damn, Mom has a strong competitor!‘If Dad hadn't died, ma

    “Ugh…”‘Please, we’re talking about life and death right now, how can you think that I’m being obsessed with another man?’After a pause, she asked softly, “Your brother, is he… is he well? He said that he would come see me in June this year, but it’s almost October now. He’s late by four months.”Alex was a little frazzled. A woman’s love was very deep!He shook his head and said, “I’m sorry, he won’t be coming.”“Why not?” Susan asked. “Because…” Alex said. “He’s dead.” Susan was dumbfounded. Her face turned ashen grey almost instantly, and the Yin energy in her body rose crazily, launching a counter attack against herself, as though it was going to swallow her whole. Alex was shocked. What the heck was that Yin energy, it seemed like it had a mind of its own.Susan’s feelings towards his father had developed to such a point.The moment she heard he was dead, she wanted to die on the spot. Alex hurriedly pressed a palm on her body to suppress the Yin energy, and he q

    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

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!"

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
