Alex was utterly speechless.Those kids indeed did not seem to take money seriously. Obviously, it was a given knowing how wealthy the Yowells were since they were among the four California nobles’ wealthiest families.With an icy gaze, Colin lifted the big hammer above his head. As he noticed Alex, who still retained his calm and steady demeanor, he became brutally agitated. “Are you coming out or not?!”“I’ll see how long you can pretend!”Roarrrr!!Like a furious dragon, he let out a ferocious roar, and his inner strength as a martial arts practitioner at Advanced Royal immediately emanated. The big hammer, which weighed approximately 20kg, smashed right into the passenger seat’s windshield.At that instance, a few Yowells became very excited, while some panicked.Michelle who was initially full of menace, suddenly trembled. She didn’t dare continue watching.She wondered if he was too shocked and terrified at Colin’s blow.Coincidentally, she noticed Alex’s gaze that w
Alex Rockefeller stepped forward and tugged Michelle Yowell out of the way before he slammed his palm against Colin Yowell’s chest.Thinking that Alex was going to kill her brother, Michelle immediately started attacking Alex with everything she had.Alex’s Force, however, was so immense that her attacks couldn’t intimidate him at all. Much to his surprise, Michelle leaped onto his back and bit his lower left chin.“D*mn it! Screw you!” Alex howled, before hurling Michelle away. “You’re nuts! If you bite me again, I’m not going to save your brother!”Why did he want to save Colin?Naturally, it was because he didn’t want to be the scapegoat.If Colin died now, the Yowell family would definitely think Alex was his murderer. When the time came, they wouldn’t stop hunting him down. This wasn’t what Alex wanted.In reality, Colin and his sister, Michelle, both suffered a similar condition.They had an internal wound in each of their hearts.Whenever they activated their Chi, their
Keith Yowell had two sons, Xavier and Liam.However, Xavier and his wife passed away when Michelle Yowell was only three. That meant Keith was left with only one son. Fortunately, Liam was romantically successful. In and out of wedlock, Liam had over ten female partners in total, and as a result, bore quite a large number of children. His legal wife gave birth to three sons and two daughters, while his other female companions also gave birth to many children. All in all, Michelle had numerous brothers and sisters.The only thing Keith felt wrong about was that Liam’s children had mediocre talents in martial arts.Sean Yowell was the only one of the family who managed to get to Intermediate Royal, in no thanks to the endless supplies of resources from his family. Meanwhile, Xavier’s son, Colin, was the most talented among all the kids.At the age of 28, he had already reached Advanced Royal, and there was a good chance he would advance even further this year.Hence, Keith placed a
It happened so quickly, and a crisp sound could be heard.Just as the Yowell’s thought that even if Alex Rockefeller didn’t die, that he might lose a limb, Alex suddenly extended a hand and pinched Liam Yowell’s sword with two fingers.The sword stopped ten centimeters away from Alex.“What?”“Did he actually use two fingers to stop the sword?!”“That’s terrifying. Who the hell is this man?”The entire Yowell family was dumbfounded.Michelle Yowell’s eyes nearly popped out of her head. She knew that Liam was very close to achieving Mystic-rank. The might of his sword was much greater than Colin Yowell’s hammer. Could this man going by the name of Rockefeller be a Mystic-rank martial artist?Wasn’t he a little too young?Even if he started training in his mother’s womb, he couldn’t possibly be this strong.“I told you. You can’t beat me,” Alex said blandly before snatching the sword and stabbing it into solid rock.He made it seem as if he was slicing through butter.“Liam,
“What did you say?”“You jerk! How dare you curse my grandfather? I’m going to kill you!”The immature-looking Michelle Yowell immediately started throwing a fit. She glared at Alex Rockefeller and charged at him.“Michelle, stop!” Liam Yowell shouted.Finally, he recovered from the shock of Alex stopping his sword with only two fingers. This was the first time Liam met an opponent this powerful. He was thoroughly shaken.Liam knew very well that when Michelle faced Alex, it was like a three-year-old fighting a professional boxer. They were on completely different levels altogether.More importantly, Dr. Cheryl revealed that Alex was the only person who could save Liam’s father.Michelle stopped in her tracks. “Uncle, this b*stard cursed my grandfather... He said he’ll only have only three days left to live. He even said that all of us would lead short lives. Even if you could tolerate such a thing, I can’t!” She fumed.Liam looked at Alex with mixed emotions before sighing. “M
Alex Rockefeller scratched his chin and looked slightly below Dr. Cheryl’s waist, making sure to look away before she noticed him. “Alright. I’ll say it for your sake! I suspect the Yowell family has been practicing martial arts using the wrong methods, and it ended up affecting their hearts. The more intense the practice gets, the greater the strain on the organ. Each time they activate their Chi, they would get out of breath very quickly and feel pain in their chest. Worst-case scenario; they might even die,” Alex blurted.Alex’s words caused the expressions on the Yowells' faces to change drastically.It was because everything he said was spot on.Michelle Yowell snorted coldly. “I don’t believe you. My grandfather is a Mystic-rank expert. He’s already over seventy years old. I’m much further behind him in terms of training, but you said I wouldn’t live past this year. That’s clearly bullsh*t,” Michelle argued.“That’s because you’re a woman. The martial arts that your family
As soon as Keith Yowell said this, James Coney looked upset.“Mr. Yowell, you’re being unreasonable. There is an order to things. I’ve already expressed my interest in Alex as my future son-in-law. How could you try to steal him away?” James quickly stepped forward and said.“Why not? He isn’t even engaged to your granddaughter yet. Besides, even if they were married, divorce is still possible. It depends on who’s more capable. My granddaughter isn’t bad, either. In fact, she’s younger, and she can give birth to better children,” Keith said.“You… you’re full of crap,” James growled.“So what if I am? What are you going to do about it? It’s a fair competition!” Keith exclaimed.Keith genuinely wanted a robust and capable person like Alex to become part of the Yowell family. Having Alex would be worth even more than earning a hundred billion dollars.There was something Keith had not said. In the past, he used to be guided by an Earth-ranked martial artist. But after recalling how
As an outsider, Alex Rockefeller could review the techniques. It wouldn’t be too difficult to make some changes and create a viable inner Chi technique for them.Alex had not made it clear at first. He had asked directly for the technique because he wanted to test Keith Yowell. If Keith weren’t willing to give it to him, it would only be his opportunity to miss.Very soon, Keith returned with a thin booklet and handed it over to Alex.Alex flipped through it casually, speed-reading through it.After a minute, he closed the booklet and shook his head.“Mr. Yowell, if I’m not mistaken, this technique isn’t complete. Did someone add the final part to it afterward? Clearly, there are two different paths included. That explains why it had such negative side effects on those who practiced it,” Alex said.Keith’s eyes lit up. “Mr. Rockefeller, you’re completely right. This technique is called Slunce Jauda. It went missing at some point, and when we recovered it, a part of it had disappe
