Alex Rockefeller’s gaze turned cold when he saw Roger Graham.This man was Louis Graham, Paradise Corp’s president’s son.Alex had also met Louis when he attended the Rockefeller family’s funeral service. Louis received a lot of help from William Rockefeller in the past, but he had later jumped ship to work for John Rockefeller.In other words, like father, like son.Roger used to follow Alex around during their time in college. Afterward, when things went south in the Rockefeller family, and Alex turned from a rich, upper-class child into a man who depended on women for survival, Louis immediately changed his attitude. Louis started calling Spark Rockefeller his buddy. On many occasions, Louis kept throwing Alex under the bus and made sarcastic remarks about Alex behind his back.Louis and his entire family were a bunch of traitors.Alex glanced at Maya Howards. He found it odd that she would actually tolerate this fellow sitting at their table.In the end, Maya turned to look

How could Alex Rockefeller not know what’s going on? It had to be Maya Howards, who had taken off her high heels, touching his shin with her toes.Alex turned to look at Maya with a confused expression on his face.Maya made a hooking motion with her finger.Alex leaned in, and Maya started whispering into his ear with a smile on her face.Roger watched this happening with intense jealousy. He wished he could kill Alex and approach Maya on his own.He had developed feelings for Maya ever since they were still studying but never had the chance to get close to her. When they met again after several years, Maya had become even prettier, gentler, and more enticing. Roger felt very tempted.“Did you say, Paradise Corp? If Paradise Corp went away, would you stop being so arrogant and be less annoying? As your previous boss, I think I bear the responsibility of leading you down the right path,” Alex said.As soon as Alex said that, Roger started laughing loudly. “Alex, who do you think

“Alex, boss, I’m begging you. Please spare me. Please spare Paradise Corp! I’m begging you!” Roger Graham was truly scared now.Before Paradise Corp became successful, the Graham family were a bunch of normal citizens living in a poverty-stricken area. The entire family lived in a tiny, run-down house of around fifty square meters.Whenever it rained cats and dogs outside, the rain would seep in through the roof.Come wintertime, and they would all be shivering from the cold.Roger absolutely did not wish to return to such living conditions again. If that were to be the case, he’d rather jump off the building from the eighteenth floor.Shayna Morrison, who stood nearby, was thoroughly shocked.She quickly went over to help Roger get up. “Mr. Graham, what are you doing? Isn’t he just some guy who depends on women for a living? Why are you even begging him on your knees? Can he even threaten Paradise Corp? People would die laughing,” she said.Thump!Roger grabbed hold of Shayna

“It’s still there… It could be some type of sauce. It’s not coming off. You’ll need a wet towel. Here, let me help you,” Maya Howards said.She looked around in her purse but found no wet towels.“I’ll get it washed in the toilet,” said Alex Rockefeller.“The public toilet is some ways from here. We’ll have to head back to the starting point. I have an idea,” Maya said.“What is it?” Alex asked.The next second, Maya circled her arms around his neck and pressed her red lips against his.Alex was at a loss for words. He felt as if he had been struck by lightning, and his mind had gone completely blank. He unconsciously placed his hands on her waist. Meanwhile, Maya, feeling as if she was being encouraged, became even more emotionally involved.Around them were many pedestrians, all staring at this handsome couple.Although people were used to seeing couples holding and kissing each other in public, such occurrences usually took place very briefly. A kiss never lasted longer than

Maya Howards charged into the room when she heard Alex Rockefeller’s voice.She was equally shocked by what she saw.Her mouth and eyes were wide open, and she had a look of disbelief on her face.All she could see was that Alex’s room was full of vibrant, green leaves and vines, even on his bed. It looked like a scene from The Wizard of Oz.“This… What happened? Why are there so many vines?”“I don’t know either. It looks like my Devil’s ivy.”Alex pushed aside the crisscrossing vines in front of him and walked further into the room. Indeed, he eventually saw that these vines all came from a pot on the balcony. The problem was that the pot of Devil’s ivy still looked very normal last night… In fact, it also seemed normal this morning. Surprisingly, this strange occurrence only happened after half a day passed.Maya followed behind and grabbed Alex’s arm. “Could the Devil’s ivy have become a spirit?” she asked.Alex was speechless for a while.If the Devil’s ivy could become a

Nathan Pattingson wouldn’t dare test Alex Rockefeller anymore.Having achieved his objective, Alex withdrew his Chi energy.In fact, he even secretly swallowed two Blood Energy Pills. “Head of the Pattingson family, I killed your grandson with a punch and stabbed your son to death with a stick. But you still came to see me and bowed to me. Don’t you plan on avenging their deaths?” Alex asked casually.“I dare not,” Nathan said with his hands joined in salute.“Do you not dare do it, or do you not want to do it?” Alex snorted coldly.“I don’t dare, and I don’t want to either,” Nathan replied quickly.Alex smiled coldly and looked at him.Alex could tell from a single glance that Nathan was indeed an Earth expert. If they really did start fighting, Alex’s Mystic Armor might be unable to protect him. He’d most likely end up getting flogged to death.But, since Alex was faking it, he couldn’t afford to be timid.“Why is that?” Alex asked again.“In the world of ancient martial ar
Chapter 463
Keith Yowell and Michelle Yowell still didn’t understand the Grandmasters well enough.They thought Nathan Pattingson wouldn’t stand such humiliation and that he would have an outburst right there, fighting with Alex Rockefeller with his life.But the next moment, they were dumbfounded to see Nathan getting down on his knees in front of Alex. “Thank you for your benevolence, master! Nathan exclaimed in excitement. A moment of silence—The expressions on Keith and Michelle’s faces changed drastically. They were both dumbfounded.This was an extremely powerful Earth expert in the world of martial arts. Nathan could single-handedly defeat the entire Yowell family, but here he was, actually kneeling in front of Alex and calling him his master. It was simply unimaginable. But little did they know, Telekinetic Grandmasters were very rare and terrifying. In all of America, their numbers were few and far between. Nathan had been eager to advance to the next stage for countless years.Ho

Alex Rockefeller wasn’t exactly a fool. He knew right away what was on Keith Yowell’s mind.Alex had pretended to be a Grandmaster, forced the Pattingson family into submission, and made Nathan Pattingson his slave. Keith couldn’t wait to make Michelle Yowell pretty again and tie her to Alex’s bed. After that, Keith would be able to keep Alex around the Yowell family. Unfortunately, Keith made his intentions too obvious, and even if Alex was to sleep with a woman, it wouldn’t be Michelle. Alex hadn’t even slept with his own wife, Lady Dorothy Assex!“Bring the medicinal herbs to me. I’ll get you after I’m done crafting,” Alex said. “Try to gather the other herbs as soon as you can. Your energy core has been damaged. The earlier it recovers, the better it is. Otherwise, once the ailment takes form, your foundations will become unstable. It’ll affect you greatly in the future,” Alex said.“Don’t worry. I’ve already informed everyone from the entire country to gather those ingredients.
