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
“Grandpa, Cheryl, I’ll be leaving now. Let’s get together someday!” Alex Rockefeller told James Coney and Dr. Cheryl. After that, he gave a slight nod to Keith Yowell.Dr. Cheryl suddenly grabbed Alex by his arm. “Wait,” she said.“What is it?” Alex asked, confused.Dr. Cheryl suddenly reached out to adjust his collar before whispering into his ears, “Your collar’s a little messy.”She then chuckled and backed away.‘What’s going on?’ Alex thought to himself before looking over at Lady Assex. ‘D*mn.’She was staring daggers at him. Even now, Alex had no idea that Dr. Cheryl was to make Lady Dorothy upset. Clearly, the doctor still held a grudge after Lady Dorothy called her out for being shameless.Lady Dorothy, unsurprisingly, showed that she was very upset by turning around and stomping away.Alex quickly ran after her. “Hey, Dorothy. Dorothy, don’t leave!”“Alex, it’s Cheryl’s grandmother’s birthday this Sunday. You must come to visit. Her grandmother misses you dearly,”
Alex Rockefeller got into Lady Dorothy Assex’s car.Lady Dorothy still seemed embarrassed. “Who was that?”“A young lass named Michelle Yowell,” Alex answered.Lady Dorothy was shocked. “Was that Michelle Yowell?! Did you know how worried I was when I heard you got into trouble with her? You even went with her to her family residence. I was so scared that you wouldn’t make it back alive!” she exclaimed.Alex sat on the passenger seat and gently placed his hand on Lady Dorothy’s thigh before giving it a gentle pat. “Don’t worry. The Yowell family can’t do anything to harm me,” he said.Lady Dorothy was in a set of office attire today, and she had on a pair of black leggings.Alex suddenly felt excited.He slowly leaned toward Lady Dorothy, intending to carry on with their kissing game before this.Lady Dorothy immediately pushed him away. “Don’t overstep your boundaries. You still haven’t told me how you managed to appease the Yowell family. Michelle Yowell isn’t someone easy to
Alex stared at the big blue sky as he exited Assex Villa.He felt much better about himself after treating Claire as a mere lunatic.Claire, however, was extremely furious. She stomped her feet as she cursed Alex. “Look what kind of man married yourself to? He doesn’t have a stable income, and now he’s trying to trick me with a fake check? Does he think I’m an idiot? Just look at how arrogant he is now! I told him to make me a meal and he refused! What is he so busy with anyway? Killing himself?”Just then, Claire accidentally stepped on a porcelain shard and immediately yelped in pain.Dorothy took a look at her wound and realized that it was just a scratch. She sighed and said, “I’ll be going to work now. You should get yourself some lunch if you’re hungry.”Alex returned to where Claire’s accident occured. Jeremiah was long gone and the crowd had dispersed.He got into his white BMW M8 and drove to a nearby bank. He wanted to deposit the check that the Yowells had given him. E
