Chapter 270
Just then, an old man in traditional clothing walked into the manor with a smile while holding two bottles of wine.“Hey Bardot! Your old pal is here to see you! Just look at what I’ve brought you, it's the thirty-year-old Dalva tawny port!”Upon hearing the old man’s voice, Aidan immediately rushed up to him while donning a bright smile. “Lawrence, didn’t you say that the Archaeological Society will be having a meeting today? Why did you rush over here then?”This old man was Christopher Lawrence, he used to teach History back in the same school as Aidan.However, this old man joined the Archaeological Society later on. Now, he had a different position as an official in the archaeology industry. Naturally, Aidan was overjoyed to see him.Christopher smiled as he said, “I came as soon as the meeting ended.”Just then, he took a glance at the ground and noticed The Landscape that had been stomped by Claire. Although he could only see parts of the painting, he was able to identify

“How much does it cost?” Christopher glared at Claire with murderous intent.After that, he said, heartbroken, “Jean Peculli’s artworks are priceless, you wouldn’t be able to buy it even if you wanted to. However, if The Landscape really were to be put up in an auction, it should be way more expensive than the one that was bidded in Port City last time, with a worth at least a billion dollars.”‘What?! It’s actually worth a billion dollars?!’ Upon hearing those words, Claire thought as she fell and sat on the ground, due to her legs enervated.Realizing that she had tore a billion dollars apart, she wanted to ram her head into a wall out of regret. After all it was a billion dollars, when would she have the opportunity to see such a large amount of money?On the other hand, Edison, who was ashen-faced, immediately explained as he faced Sharpay and Adrianna with doubtful looks on their face, “Sharpay, Aunty, I was fooled too. F*ck, I’ll demand a proper explanation tomorrow.”Christ

Could it be that Rockefeller Group would have a major change?***On the way home, Waltz drove the Lamborghini whereas Alex was in the passenger seat. On the other hand, Brittany and Maya were in another car.“Senior, stop being upset about it. You may have lost one wife, but now you have two! It’s a win for you!” Waltz tried comforting him after seeing his gloomy expression. She even placed her hand on his arm and scratched him gently with her nails, after receiving no reaction from him.Alex couldn’t bear ignoring her any further. “Pay attention to the road, or else we might end up in an accident.”Waltz smiled. “Okay!”Alex sighed. “You’re the one who brought my mom over, right?”“I didn’t…” She paused for a moment before she continued, “Mom forced me to do it. She had been second-guessing about your life this whole while!”“Why are you calling her Mom? Are you not shy in the slightest?”“Your mom was the one who said so. She’s the empress of this family, I can’t disobey he

The moment the spark of fire flashed in the dark, Alex’s sense of danger peaked.“Careful!”His body immediately moved out of reflex before he could think about anything else. He instinctively grabbed Waltz’s shoulder and pushed her onto his lap. Then, he forcefully pushed down the Lamborghini's passenger seat with his back, lying down.It was almost the same time that a bullet flew through the car windows. Flying over the driver’s seat, the bullet brushed over Alex's nose and passed through the other side of the window.“An assassin!” Adrenaline rose in Alex’s body, causing the Chi of the Force and the divine power in his energy core to be violently stirred.Waltz was one of the Three Great Chieftains of California’s underworld, hence she knew what was going on immediately: they were facing a sniper.Vroom!Suddenly, another large truck on the opposite side of the road rammed toward them.If the Lamborghini were to get hit, both of them would end up becoming flat patties, le

The car frame smashed him into two halves.Meanwhile, Waltz beat up the slag truck drivers frenetically. Since she was at half step to Mystic rank, handling small fry like them was a piece of cake. A few moments later, all three truck drivers died from her attacks.The two managed to avert the crisis.Alex then noticed that blood was flooding out of Waltz’s upper arm, it was a terrifying sight.He immediately rushed over and held her. “Waltz, you’re hurt! Are you alright?”Waltz, who was enraged and merciless earlier, curved her mouth into a frown and fell into Alex’s arms as she grimaced in immense pain. “Senior, I don’t think I have much time left. I have something I wish to do before I die, can you help me to grant that wish?”Alex panicked. “Waltz, don’t worry, I’ll definitely save you.”Waltz replied, “No, my wish is more important right now, or else I won’t ever rest in peace. Quick, lean forward, I can’t hold it any longer.”Alex leaned forward instinctively. Smooch!

Alex’s heart sunk with restlessness. After taking a glance at Waltz, he headed toward the door and walked out.He recognized that voice from the phone, it was Anna Coleman from Divine Constabulary.It was obvious that she had some sort of evidence in hand for her to go straight to the point and say those words confidently. That would mean that Waltz’s men somehow left some clues after cleaning the scene. However, he put some thought into it and figured that it was normal. After all, Thousand Miles Conglomerate was just a private force in California’s underworld, how could it be comparable with an international organization like Divine Constabulary?However, he didn’t worry one bit at all. After all, he was the victim during the whole process of the incident. His killing of the assassin could be justified as self-defense.“Anna, are you poisoned today? Do you need me to force it out of you again?” Alex chuckled as he said.His words immediately enraged Anna.Being forced to urinat

It was a private villa in a suburban area. The environment was elegant and fairly quiet.There was only this one villa, without any other buildings in the radius of five hundred metres of the area. The back of the villa faced mountains, whereas the front villa faced a river. It seemed to have a geomantic omen, it was very suitable for building large graveyards.After lifting his head and looking into the villa, Alex rang the doorbell.With a loud click, the heavy steel gate opened up.At the same time, a bright light shone inside, illuminating the front yard in the dark night, as if the sun had subdued the darkness. At first glance, the front yard was not like the garden paths in normal villas. There weren’t any flowers or trees, all it had was a lifeless cement floor.A built man stood in the middle of the yard, he was a head taller than Alex. Alex’s gaze immediately sharpened as he tried to sense the man’s Chi.Moreover, as his gaze went past the man and looked up to the thir

Anna was so shocked that she couldn’t say a word. Her chest was restless and could not be calmed down for a while, it was even getting difficult for her to breath as if she had just climbed a mountain that was several kilometers above sea level.After ten seconds, only then did she say in disbelief, “How is this possible? Steel Tower is the second best fighter in our team, his strength is just second only to you, Leader Sky. But, this guy actually defeated him with one punch, is he even human? Could it be that, he’s not at Mystic rank, but he’s… an Earth ranked fighter?” Sky nodded awkwardly and said with a bitter expression, “You might be right. Remember the car frame that killed Black Skeleton on the hillside? Not even a Peak-Mystic ranked fighter could throw such a heavy frame across several hundred meters and kill a world-class assassin.”Anna covered her small mouth with her hands, with her eyes widened in shock.Sky then smiled. “Anna, you did well. A powerful character like
