Alex Rockefeller’s face turned dark. “I’m not interested in kids,” he said.Holly Yates snorted. “I knew it. Men like you are interested in women like Boa Hancock. What’s good about her? Her body is shaped so oddly. It’s troublesome to even walk.”Alex was stunned for a moment.Who was Boa Hancock?But it didn’t matter.“Come. We’ll talk elsewhere,” Alex said.Alex pulled Holly to a corner to negotiate.“Mom, what is he doing? Is he trying to kidnap a young girl?” Maya Howards whispered softly to Brittany Rockefeller.Brittany looked at the group of working fellows before nodding. “Looks like Alex has grown a lot throughout this period,” she said.***“Your issue is on the serious side of things. It’s not something that can be fixed in a short amount of time. That’s why, the reward I want isn’t something you can decide on. I need to see your parents,” Alex said to Holly after pondering for a while.Holly was surprised. “I don’t have parents,” she said while shaking her head.
They were members of the underworld, not janitors!With over two hundred people working together, they soon managed to transform the factory. However, the collapsed walls, rusty gates, uneven floors and damaged buildings weren’t things that could be fixed immediately.They still needed to work on cementing, sanding and getting doors and windows from suppliers, among other things.Now, it was getting close to dusk.The group of people had been working hard, and they hadn’t even had a drop of water to drink. Many of them even held their pee in. They were afraid that if Alex Rockefeller caught them slacking, he’d beat them up. That would have been very unfortunate indeed.As these people endured their hunger and pent up anger, a truck drove into the compound.Everyone immediately smelled fragrant food in the air and they began to salivate.Alex summoned these goons to move dozens of tables over to form a single row of tables.In the next moment, people began unloading countless de
Hailey Lawson!The woman who slept in the same bed with him turned out to be Hailey.For an instant, Alex felt like he had been struck by lightning.The extreme grief he felt made him want to cry, but the tears just wouldn’t come. “How could this be?” If it had been someone else—such as Maya—he could have still accepted it and not feel like his entire world had come crashing down like this. Why did it have to be Hailey?If Charles were to see this, he would definitely have him killed. But he clearly remembered that after the dinner last night was over, the few of them had found a hotel nearby to stay. He should have slept alone… right?Alex quickly ran his hands down his body and his world began to crash down even harder. He was done for. He crept up slowly. But just at this moment, Hailey awakened with a soft hum. It was unclear whether it’s a habit of her or not, but she lifted one leg up and pressed Alex down, before pulling him in for a hug as her eyes remained clo
Afternoon, after a meal.Hailey had managed to successfully avoid suspicion and was getting ready to drive back alone to California. California was actually closeby, an hour-and-a-half journey by car. Before leaving, Hailey grabbed Alex and said, “Stinking brat, tell me honestly, did you touch me last night?”Alex was disheveled for a moment. “Sister, I really didn’t. Weren’t your clothes all neat?” “Hmph. Who knows? You could have straightened up my clothes after you did it. Anyway, if I get pregnant, you’ll have to take responsibility.”“What?”Vroom!The car started and Hailey sped away in her Mercedes Benz.Hailey sniggered as she observed Alex’s expression in the rearview mirror. “Let’s see how scared you get!” Then, she rubbed her chest where her heart was. “Stinking brat, how sneaky. It hurts!”***The next week.Belle Blossom, the skin care product assembly factory was changing at a rapid pace. Money can be a good thing—as long as you invest it well, you woul
Hearing Cheryl’s distressed cries, Alex felt a stab of inexplicable pain in his heart and quickly asked, “What’s wrong? Don’t cry, tell me. I’m here for you, no matter what it is.” Cheryl sobbed. “Grandpa… got into an accident…”“What? Is it serious?”“Yes… the operation is underway, but the doctor just came out and said that the situation is not looking good. He just gave me the critical illness notice for me to sign so that I would be mentally prepared. I’m so afraid… can you come over?”She continued crying.Alex could completely relate to the situation she was going through right now.When the doctor had told him that his mother only had five days of her life left, it felt like the ground had split open beneath him; like his entire world had completely collapsed. “Which hospital are you at?”“California Main Hospital!”“Alright. I’m in Michigan right now, I’ll head over right away.”Alex hung up the call and informed Brittany immediately before taking the car keys and r
Alex had seen someone chasing him from behind, but he ignored it. The only thing on his mind was to get to the hospital as fast as possible. On the highway signboard, his license plate was listed under the speeding list.Screech!A journey that should have taken an hour and a half had been cut down to just thirty-five minutes.Incredible.California Main Hospital was a local hospital that had research collaborations with other foreign hospitals. It’s an extremely high-end aristocratic first-class hospital in California. Most of the people who came here for treatment were wealthy people.Other hospitals would charge fifteen dollars for a common cold, but California Main Hospital would charge three thousand dollars. The registration fee alone costs two thousand dollars.“Cheryl!”Alex arrived outside the operating room and caught sight of Cheryl fidgeting restlessly.She looked terrible. The moment she saw Alex, she rushed towards him, throwing herself into his arms. She crie
Alex had already mastered his Foundation Establishment. His ability to utilize the Ultimate Book of Medicine had also improved and developed accordingly. Thus, Andrew’s words had made him very angry. Though Alex may not be a traditional doctor, this foreigner actually said that traditional medicine—which had been passed down for thousands of years—was a sham. He also compared it to Korean medicine, further insulting traditional medicine.It was absolutely unacceptable.Condensed Chi gathered at his fingers through the Force, flowing into James’ body continuously.One of the other doctors looked on in confusion and asked, “What the heck is he doing?”Andrew glanced at Cheryl, before replying in broken English, “Putting on a show.”As Alex continued to transfer his Chi, he watched the heart monitor connected to James as it indicated that his condition was steadily improving—his physical condition was recovering at an incredible speed.This was unexplainable.Finally, Alex retr
James Coney’s name was well known in California. So when security heard it and saw how the other doctors in the room weren’t making any moves, they didn’t take any further action either. As for James, he suddenly grabbed Alex’s hand. “Alex, this old man’s life won’t last long, and I will probably die soon. Before I go, can I ask you for a promise?”Alex was startled. “Grandpa, you won’t die.” James ignored his words, clinging onto him. “You have to promise me, otherwise I won’t be able to go in peace.”Alex studied his complexion carefully, and was convinced that he hadn’t made any mistake. He said helplessly, “Grandpa, you really won’t be dying. I guarantee it.”Who would have thought that James would ignore him again and shouted, “I won’t go in peace, if you don’t promise me! I won’t be able to go in peace!”Cheryl felt her heart break when she watched the scene in front of her. “Alex, just promise him!” Alex was dismayed. “I don’t even know what it is!”James continued to
