Azure drove Alex to California’s Premier Hospital.That was because Alex’s car was still parked in the underground basement there.When the car stopped, Azure looked at Alex, but he couldn’t bring himself to speak.Earlier, Alex seemed to have promised Azure that he would help him advance to Peak-Royal rank after today’s ordeal.“What is it?” Alex frowned and asked him after seeing the constipated expression on Azure’s face.“Eh… Nothing.” Azure was too embarrassed to say it.“Oh, I remember now. Here, take this,” Alex took a bottle out of his pocket and retrieved three red pills that looked as large as cod liver oil capsules, then placed them on the center console in the car.“What are these?” Azure asked.“Blood energy pills,” Alex said.“What do they do?” Azure asked again.“They help replenish your blood energy,” Alex answered.“But I don’t think I need that,” Azure said.“But you have renal deficiency,” Alex said.Azure’s face twitched as his eyes were widened and ret

Waltz’s leg was about to move up to Alex’s waist.“I’ve seen you practicing. To be honest, that technique is pretty good and has your distinctive features. Most importantly, you’ve been cultivating it for so many years, it’d be a shame for you to give it up. How about this? I’ll help you modify it later,” Alex said.“Deal,” Waltz said.“Here, these are for you. Take one pill every three days. It’ll help with your cultivation,” Alex said before tossing over a small bottle, which contained ten blood energy pills, to her.What would Azure feel if he knew that he had to work so hard just to get two of these pills, but Waltz, on the other hand, only had to poke Alex with her feet to get ten and he even offered to modify her cultivation technique? Azure might actually contemplate changing his gender!“Senior, you’re so nice. Tonight, I’ll make you…” Waltz started speaking.Right then, Brittany and Maya walked down the stairs.“Alex, Waltz, what are you two talking about?” Brittany ask
Chapter 261
At this moment, Beatrice and Claire were on their way to her grandfather’s place, driving the BMW M8 that was given to Dorothy by Alex.Beatrice’s grandfather was Aidan Bardot. He has two daughters: Claire was the elder while the younger one was named Adrianna Bardot.Adrianna was much snobbish than Claire, she would always try to compare with Claire in every aspect. Ever since Claire’s husband, Henry Assex, went missing after a trip with his secretary, Adrianna insulted and looked down upon her every time they met.More importantly, Adrianna had a daughter, who was a year younger than Dorothy, she would always show her off in front of Claire.Under such circumstances, Claire naturally couldn't drive her dilapidated car back home. Only a BMW M8 that was worth two million dollars could show her elegance and flamboyance. When the time came, she could get back at her sister to regain her self esteem.“Mom, Sis found a new boyfriend!” Beatrice, who was sitting in the passenger seat, s

Claire was shocked. After looking at the Ferrari and then turning to her broken car, she was instantly bereft of speech, as if she had just eaten a bug and received a critical hit of fifty thousand damage. However, she couldn’t help but curse Alex secretly.More importantly, this wasn’t the end of it.Sharpay brought her boyfriend over to show off. “Aunty, Cousin, let me introduce you to my boyfriend, Edison Hood. He’s an executive of Yowell Group, with a yearly salary of five million dollars! This car belongs to my boyfriend by the way. Oh right, why aren’t Cousin Dorothy and her useless kept… I mean, husband here yet?”As she mentioned the word “useless”, a smug expression was plastered all over her face.Beatrice said, “Sis is still working at her company, so she’ll be a little late.”Adrianna huffed. “Does she not know what day is today? How could a lowly employee like her be busier than my son-in-law in an executive position? I guess the poors always act haughty and stuck-up.

“What new son-in-law?”“Mom, what nonsense are you talking about?” Dorothy, who was wearing a business attire, got out of the car as well. Sharpay, who dressed up glamorously, was incomparable with her ethereal beauty and elegance in that instant.Even her boyfriend, Edison, stared at Dorothy with eyes filled with immense adoration and envy.Claire ecstatically thought that Dorothy had finally dumped Alex and found herself a rich son-in-law. However, seeing Alex whom she knew very well, Claire was extremely disappointed.“Dorothy, wasn’t there a rich heir who picked you up in a Lamborghini? How did it turn out to be this trash here?” Claire huffed angrily.“What rich heir? It’s Alex who picked me up. Mom, I’m married, please don’t say such nonsense,” Dorothy said as she glared at Beatrice. She knew that Beatrice was added into the office group chat. Hence, she was the only one here who could know about this.Just then, Adrianna walked up to them with a smile. “Oh, so it’s really

Inside Bardot Manor, there were around forty to fifty people in total of Aidan's relatives and his disciples. A few large tables had been placed in the hall.It was time to present gifts. Dorothy had thoughtfully prepared a gift for Alex to present to Aidan: it was an inkstone that cost tens of thousands dollars. The old man liked calligraphy, hence, she figured that he would like it.“Give this inkstone to him later, and say it’s a present from both of us.” Dorothy reminded him in a soft voice.“There’s no need for that, I’ve prepared gifts as well,” Alex smiled as he said.In front of them, the first one to present the gift to Aidan was the elder daughter, Claire. “Dad, I’ve got you this jade scepter. I wish you good luck and health for years to come.”Next was Adrianna and Taylor, they gave him a gold statue of Buddha.Then, Aidan’s disciples followed suit and presented their gifts to Aidan.Alex was speechless with the fact that Aidan would open his presents as soon as he

“This… Is this The Landscape too?”“Why does it look the same as the other?”“Is it even possible that there are two copies of The Landscape in this world?” Sharpay exclaimed in surprise.Adrianna rushed over to take a look and hurriedly said, “Why do you even need to question it? Obviously, this must be a fake. Why else are there two same paintings by a famous artist in this world? Even idiots could figure that out.”Alex replied, “Mine is the original copy.”Taylor chuckled sarcastically. “Yours is the original? So, are you saying the one that my son-in-law presented is a fake? Why don’t you look at yourself in the mirror, do you really think you can afford to present the original copy of The Landscape? You couldn’t even buy a shred of it even if you were to use all the pocket money that the Assexess have given to you.”Edison huffed. “I got mine from a friend’s auction with an internally set price of more than ten million dollars. I ask of you, where did yours come from?”Ale

Alex was demotivated as he said, “This is a snow lotus.”“Huh, is this really a snow lotus?”One of the disciples said, “This really is a snow lotus, but it looks kind of weird.”Someone added, “I’ve seen it on Amazon, my wife ordered some for herself.”Sharpay immediately looked it up on Amazon. In the next second, she cackled. “I thought it was something good this time. This snow lotus here only costs 23.8 dollars, it comes with free shipping too! If you could drive a Lamborghini, why are you gifting this piece of sh*t? Not even a dog would want it!”She immediately threw the snow lotus, which was worth millions dollars, onto the ground.Claire angrily lifted her leg and stomped on it several times, trampling it into pieces.While pointing at Alex, she yelled, “You loser! You godforsaken loser! Are you done fooling around yet? Are you really a nemesis of the Assexes? You don’t ever do anything in your life, all you could do is get sh*tty items like this! How long do you plan o
