They hurriedly ran out of the gates.However, Alex Rockefeller was nowhere to be seen.“Michelle, quick! Dial his number!”Five minutes later, Alex once again, appeared in front of Keith Yowell.He was willing to return for two reasons. The first was as a return of Jack Trent’s favor and the other was Michelle’s unrelenting plea.Otherwise, Keith would have died.Anna Coleman and Alex met again. She wasn’t as smug as she was before, presumably because she had been castigated by the Yowells. However, she still gave Alex an unfriendly look.“Shoo!”Alex returned Anna’s sentiment with one word.It took no time for Alex to realize what went wrong with Keith. The situation was dire, just as he expected when he left just now.He lightly jabbed his finger on his chest, where the heart was located. Wallace Yoke was shocked by Alex’s maneuver. He was confused and could not fathom what he was doing.It was the Seven Needles of Life Extension.The last time he performed it, he finis

Anna Coleman stood next to Wallace Yoke.She looked at him with a cold gaze, as if she was born better off than everyone else.Alex Rockefeller could not help but laugh in his heart. No wonder Michelle Yowell did not like her.If Colin Yowell decided to marry her, it would only serve as the beginning of headaches and troubles at home.His gaze shifted from Anna to Wallace. “How may I help you, sir?”Wallace was slightly eager as he said, “Mr. Rockefeller, I have some knowledge in medicine and treating people but I have never seen anything like what you did just now. Would you be so kind to explain the workings behind your treatment?”He was extremely polite and talked to Alex in a slight bow.The medical community would be shocked to find out that the Imperial Doctor spoke to an unknown person with such respect and admiration.“The inner workings?” Michelle snickered. “Why should he tell you? What if you are trying to steal the knowledge for your own use?”Wallace was embarras

“You don’t look good, what happened? Did the old lady wreak havoc in the company again?”Claire Assex immediately noticed Dorothy’s unusual demeanor. “Hey, didn’t Rockefeller say that he was going to get the permit for you? Did he lie to us and got a fraudulent document instead? What a fool!“Where is he? I am going to give him a smackdown he will never forget!”Dorothy suddenly realized that returning home earlier was a bad decision on her part.“Why are you so anxious, mom? The company is doing just fine.”“So, the old lady wasn’t there?”“She was but with Alex’s permit, there was nothing she could do. Instead, we obtained a competitive advantage that will allow us to increase our profits!”Claire was thrilled. “Are you sure?”“Of course! Mom, stop criticizing Alex for once! Without his help, we would have been done for!”“Hmph! He is your husband, right? He did what was expected from him.“Look, it has been a while since he came home. Where the hell is he? I have to do all

Finding himself a way out, Alex Rockefeller had Michelle Yowell drop him off at a street, a few blocks away from Maple Villa.He did not want her to visit him just whenever she wanted to.After the previous incident where he saved Keith Yowell from imminent death, he believed that Keith would do something big to express his gratitude. Michelle seemed to be the key to that gift.“Alex!”Michelle hollered as he got out of the car.“Yes, anything I can help with?”“My grandfather’s life all depends on you now. You really must cure him! I know I didn’t really give you the best impression, to begin with, but I’m trying my best to change the way you see me. Please!” Michelle clutched her hands in front of her chest as she cried out exasperatedly. “I’ve lost both my parents when I was just a little girl, and I cannot lose my grandfather too!”Seeing how teary Michelle had become, Alex reassured gently, “Don’t worry. I will try my best.”“Thank you, Alex. Well...say, can I be your frie

Michelle Yowell was at the door to greet Alex Rockefeller. “You’re fast!”Alex smiled. “The faster, the better, right?”The Life Pill was relatively easy to concoct compared to the Chakra Pill. It took him a little over half an hour to complete the first batch. Instead of coming here immediately, he stayed on a little longer to concoct another batch of bone-strengthening pills.A bone-strengthening pill was used to increase the flexibility and strength of bones.Coupled with the Force, which was an insanely strong defense mechanism, he could possibly possess bones as strong as steel and skin as resilient as rubber.It appeared that punching a hole through a steel board with just a single blow was possible after all.“Mr. Yowell, here’s the Life Pill, as promised.”“Take one now. You need to take it once a day, for three days consecutively. I guarantee that you will no longer have heart problems in the next five years.”Under the watchful eyes of the Yowells, Keith Yowell swallo

What a small world it was indeed!The lady was his ex-girlfriend, Chloe Marionette. She was dressed up well, but the bruise at the corner of her mouth was still very apparent, no matter how heavy her makeup was.Undoubtedly, she was beaten.Chloe was escorted away by the men from the Thousand Miles Conglomerate before this, and was sent to a brothel under Waltz Fleur’s order.The brothel, on the other hand, had its standards as well.Upon inspection, they found out that she was infected with syphilis. After a rough round of beating, all they did was throw her out of the brothel.Even though she was safe, she was livid and blamed all of her misfortunes on Alex Rockefeller.Hence, the intense look of hatred in her eyes, piercing into Alex’s.“Mr. Rockefeller, do you know her?”Jack Trent peered at Chloe and looked at them in surprise.Alex nodded. “You could say so. Are you both related, Mr. Trent?”“Oh, nope. She’s the daughter of my wife’s employee. They dropped by for a vi

The more Chloe Marionette spoke, the more exhilarated she became, as Tanya merely looked at Alex in disgust.Jack Trent, however, begged to differ. “Shut up!” He yelled.Too engrossed in her own rhetoric, Chloe continued, “Mr. Trent, stop being scammed by him! I know him well and he is nothing but a crooked man who lives off his wife! It is only a matter of time before he joins the rest of his clan in prison!”Smack!Jack slapped Chloe in her face in anger.Chloe was dumbfounded. “Why hit me, Mr. Trent? It’s him you should be hitting!!” Tanya’s eyes were wide open in shock, as she failed to comprehend why Jack slapped her daughter. However, Leanne was her boss so she forced herself to remain silent.“You deserve to be hit! Didn’t I tell you to shut your mouth? Who are you to insult Mr. Rockefeller, huh? Get on your knees and apologize to him right away! Otherwise, I’ll make California a living hell for you to live in!” Jack was fuming. A shaken Chloe was puzzled and she only

Leanne Graves could not help but feel embarrassed at Alex Rockefeller’s request, as her husband, Jack Trent’s face, twitched in discomfort.Although it was perfectly sound for a doctor to check the patient’s body, Alex’s sole reason for coming over was specifically to treat Leanne’s infertility.Noticing the couple’s uneasiness, Alex realized he was a little too blunt. “I would just like to have a closer inspection of your belly.”“Uhm… should I leave you two alone?” Jack asked hesitantly.Leanne immediately glared at her husband. “Where are you going? I don’t see you behaving like this when I had on my swimsuit, which exposed even more of my body.”She then lifted the bottom of her shirt, revealing her flat belly.Alex took a closer look and realized something was off.“Mr. Rockefeller, did you see something?”Seeing Alex’s deep frown, Jack could not help but feel anxious.Alex did not answer him but instead, moved his face closer and took a sniff. It was a rather embarrassin
