After taking a bath, Alex sat on his bed.In his hands was a gift box of unknown content, given by Felix Shepherd, which he did not open just yet.“Could it be a watch?” Alex muttered to himself. He was not interested in watches at all as he found them cumbersome to be worn.As he opened the box, a green flash greeted his eyes.It was not a watch but a piece of lush green emerald.Born into a wealthy family, he was no stranger to luxurious gemstones. At a glance, the particular piece, sculptured into the form of a unicorn, looked extremely expensive and was as big as a child’s fist.Holding the emerald sculpture in his hand, he felt a comfortable sensation.In the next second, he was startled as he felt a stream of energy radiating from within the emerald.“What is this? Could it be… the essence?” The Ultimate Book of Medicine was an all-encompassing approach to the cultivation of medical martial arts. It also described that the Force could be enhanced by absorbing the essenc
Lastly, she said with a smug face, “My daughter is really fortunate for having such an amazing and capable husband. She’s just destined to live a rich life, unlike your Dorothy, she’s pretty but she found a useless trash who only lives off her. What is the point of it? You can only blame her for having poor taste in marrying such a man and living a hard and impoverished life. So, make sure your Dorothy has better taste in men in the future.”Claire was bridled with anger and wanted to hit her really hard.Even though she hated Alex, to the extent that she hoped that he would divorce Dorothy as soon as possible, her dignity was at stake now.Taking out immediately the twenty-million-dollar check from her purse, she said, “Who lives an impoverished life? What’s so good about two hundred thousand dollars? Gah! Look at what my son-in-law got me, a twenty-million-dollar check! Have you ever seen twenty million dollars? Two hundred thousand is all that’s needed to get you high and mighty?
“What? Mom, say clearly. You were involved in a car accident? How are you, are you hurt?” Dorothy’s heart raced wildly as she answered Claire’s phone call.Claire replied stammeringly, “Well, uh, I am fine, but, uh, I … crashed into a Rolls-Royce owned by the Yowell family.”“A Rolls-Royce? Good lord!” Dorothy cried out.Claire said, “Come quick, my good daughter. I know you have a lot of cash on you. Get that ungrateful Alex to come over too, the owner is quite fierce.”Since Alex was the only male in the family, naturally he was the first person that came to her mind in situations like this.Alex was also shocked after receiving the news from Dorothy.They arrived at the crash site, almost at the same time, half an hour later.Seeing Claire, who was hardly recognizable, sitting on the floor with a swollen face and a bleeding nose, Dorothy cried as she rushed forward, “Mom, Mom! Are you okay?”Alex frowned.At first, he was a little delighted in Claire’s suffering, after all,
Alex gently raised his left hand and immediately intercepted the kick. He drew closer to the man as his body moved away from the kick.The man instinctively shivered in shock. “He is fast, how did he do it?”In the next second, his face was engulfed by Alex’s right hand and being pressed to the back. Crash!The man’s head was slammed into the window of the Rolls-Royce.The crowd watched the scene, with their mouths agape in astonishment.The kind old man, who gave his advice earlier, nearly had his eyes popped out of his head as he saw the scene.Then, Alex grabbed the man’s head and drove it down the window again. In fact, it was a smash.Bang! Bang! Bang!He consecutively did it three more times until the Rolls-Royce’s windows were shattered and the man’s head was bloodied and badly bruised, then only did he stop. He said with a cold expression, “She is my wife. How dare you make my wife cry, do you know how big of a sin you have committed?”The crowd wailed, bereft of spe
Alex despised the people who threatened his family the most. As such, it was an extra forceful slap.Smack!The man from the Yowells was in a daze instantly, spitting blood along with a couple of teeth, after being hit with that heavy slap. He was almost knocked out as his head hit the door of the car.The onlookers were dumbfounded at such a scene.Grieving at Alex’s impulse action after refusing to listen to advice, many shook their heads in disappointment and secretly thought, ‘This is nothing but an empty display of strength. However, the Yowells are not someone that you should ever offend. The harder you hit, the worse the consequences you will suffer later.’Claire screamed in disbelief, as if she was on the verge of going mad.Just because the trash knew some moves, he could be cocky and arrogant? He would only bring the Assex family down with his antics!She charged at him and was about to smack him, waking him up from his antics.Alex looked at her with a vicious gaze
The lady took off her sunglasses, glaring viciously at Alex. Her grandeur changed instantly as well, with an overflowing hostile aura. Alex was a little taken aback as he did not expect that the lady was a fighter too. Furthermore, she was of Intermediate Royal, a rank higher than the man earlier, Jeremiah Yowell.“Who are you?” asked Alex with an indifferent expression.Before the lady could speak, the old man earlier responded instead. “She is the favorite granddaughter of the head of the Yowell family, Keith Yowell. I think she’s Michelle Yowell!”“Oh, it’s really her!”“To be that fortunate enough for offending the little devil from the Yowells, that Rockefeller guy is in deep trouble now...”“Hush, keep your voice down. Don’t you want to live?”A discussion broke out in the crowd of onlookers. Even though they spoke in hushed voices, Alex had no issue picking up what they said. After all, being born and raised in California, he was used to being a rich heir in California,
“Let Michelle go!“Brat, you have no idea what you did today! You, your entire family, your friends, and everyone you know will suffer the consequences of your foolish action!”Jeremiah got up on his feet and shouted with intense fury as he pointed at Alex.Alex’s suppressed rage was once again ignited as he looked at Jeremiah like he was already dead.“The Yowell family is going down just because of what you said just now!” Alex said coldly.Jeremiah laughed. “What a joke! The Yowell family is going down? Who do you think you are? How dare…”Before he could finish his sentence, Alex sent another good, hard slap his way. Jeremiah’s head dropped and hit the hood of the car with a thud. The next moment, he slumped limply to the ground as he went unconscious.After releasing Michelle from his grasp, he proceeded to open the door of the Rolls-Royce and said, “Get in, you drive.”Michelle was befuddled. “What are you doing? Where are we going?”Alex said, “To meet your grandfathe
Michelle Yowell pointed at the Rolls-Royce. “That idiot inside the car hit mine and even hurt Jeremiah. Not only does he want me to compensate for twenty million dollars, but he even cursed our family! He insisted on going to our house to seek justice for Grandpa!”“What?”Everyone thought they had a hearing problem.They wondered how such an obnoxious person could survive in California!Out of nowhere, someone shouted, “Are you still dreaming? Perhaps you’re tired of living that you’re here to challenge the Yowells! I’m gonna find out what makes you so arrogant!”Sean Yowell was the one yelling, a generally hot-tempered man. He was the better martial arts practitioner amongst the rest at the scene.He yanked the car door open rudely and glared in menace. “Get out of the car now, you brute!”Alex was calm and expressionless as he remained seated inside the car. “Who do you think you are to summon me out of my car? Get your leader here to see me.”What?Sean felt his blood rush
