Chapter 222
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

Leanne Grave did not seem to be lying when she answered Alex Rockefeller’s question.“Can you remove it, Mr. Rockefeller?” she anxiously asked.It was very frightening for anyone when they found out that they had parasites in their body.Alex thought for a while and replied, “Yes, but not today. I need to prepare a few things before I can remove them. That being said, do not, I repeat, do not let anyone else know about this, okay? I do not know who planted the parasite, but if it is someone close, you will be in danger.”The couple looked at him in shock.To which Alex quickly comforted, “Don’t worry. From the looks of the parasite, I’d say that it has been in your belly for two years. It doesn’t really make a difference if we were to remove it a few days later.”His thoughts quickly flashed to a girl who was in Michelle Yowell’s camp, Priscilla Paytas. She possessed the Kyuhelios Pulse, and her blood was the bane of parasites. He needed her blood, which could then be used to m

Spending the night in a Presidential Suite as an apology?Wasn’t that a thinly-veiled invitation for them to get intimate?Two more months to their first wedding anniversary, but he had yet to do it.He could pretend not to bother, but as a man, how long could he keep his act up?“Sounds good!” Alex replied eagerly. “Should I get us some stuff?”“Stuff? What do we need?” Dorothy Assex asked coyly.“Of course! Well, some protection… or perhaps, there is a, you know, kink you want to try out?”“I… um… I gotta go. Here’s the address, come quick! I… I love you.” Dorothy’s heart was fluttering madly as she spoke those words, which she had never said before.Alex almost squealed in joy. He wanted to be at the Landison hotel as quick as his car could take him.However, he promised Cheryl Coney to check in on the patients. “Darling, do you mind waiting for a while? I have some matters to attend… at home. I will be there latest, by, say, nine-thirty?”“Okay!”Dorothy gingerly placed
Chapter 228
Surrounded by so many people, Cheryl Coney found it extremely difficult to navigate out of the crowd. She yelled but to little effect as some even tried to take advantage of the chaos to touch her inappropriately.Alex Rockefeller let out a soft grunt, immediately releasing his Chi in a three-meter radius around his body. Nudged by a strong, invisible force, the crowd was pushed aside as they cleared the way for Alex and Cheryl.Upon entering Cheryl’s office, Alex suddenly remembered that his phone was running out of battery. Afraid that he could not contact Dorothy later, he asked Cheryl to charge his phone.Moments later, a nurse came rushing by.“Doctor Coney, the experts are here. Assistant Director Rashford wants you to attend the meeting.”“Will be there.” Cheryl then turned her gaze toward Alex. “Why don’t you come with me too?”Alex had no objections.Before they left, Cheryl put on a doctor’s gown on Alex so he could pretend to be her assistant. There were a dozen peo

Everyone instantly looked toward Cheryl Coney and Alex Rockefeller.As a doctor of the hospital and head of wards, they knew who Cheryl was. As for the man beside her, however…“I don’t think I have seen this doctor before. Have you?”“No, is he new here?”Of course, with Cheryl being James Coney’s granddaughter, she wasn’t worried at all that Alex’s identity would be exposed.Nevertheless, Clarence Fawl looked at Alex with an unfriendly gaze. “I suppose you know something, my friend? Can you tell us what it was, and perhaps introduce yourself?”Alex shook his head. “I have not seen the patients, so I have no comments.”“Since you have not seen them, I wonder why you’ve been allowed to attend the meeting? This is an emergency meeting, and we do not want any distractions,” said Clarence with feigned surprise.Meanwhile, assistant director Rashford went right up to Alex’s face and stared him down. “Who are you? Do you work here?”“No, I do not,” Alex answered.“Well then, how d
