Waltz and Lord Lex were so anxious that they almost felt an oncoming heart attack. They wanted to rush forward but they were stopped by fighters from Valtameri Tower. With two loud bangs, both of them were kicked down to the ground, unable to move forward.Roar!Yohei let out a deafening roar.The katana in his hand, Shiketsu, thrusted into Alex’s abdomen fiercely. Waltz let out a yell. Tears started streaming down her cheek, she dared not take a look.Many senior executives of Valtameri looked at the scene with much gusto on their faces.At this critical, tensed moment, two fingers suddenly came up to pinch Yohei’s blade. “Huh?” Yohei was startled.His eyes followed the fingers up, only to find that the owner of the fingers was Alex, the very same person that he was about to carve up.Alex’s eyes had regained its vigor, and were clear and bright. The corner of his lips was quirked upwards with a wicked smile. He just pretended to look dull and lifeless just now, just to m
Hiss!Everyone present was startled by the bloody scene that had unfolded in front of them, making their blood run cold as they felt chills down their spines.The two bloodied heads fell to the ground and rolled over to the feet of the crowd who were drinking tea. Among them was a female senior executive from Valtameri Co., she let out a loud scream and jumped onto the chair instantly. Her legs were trembling in fear, but she kept stomping her feet non-stop as though trying to get rid of something disgusting. Nobody wouldn’t have been able to tell that just half a minute ago, this same woman watched the scene with an excited glint in her eyes as Yohei was about to carve out Alex’s abdomen.At the same moment, Nathan also got up with a soft grunt.In fact, he had already woken up after Alex took the bead off Yohei, and he also witnessed the domineering cut of his blade. His old face flushed, his chest tightened as he felt a shortness of breath.How unbearable!It was extremely
Alex Rockefeller and Frank Accardo were the only ones in the room.Even though the wound on Frank’s shoulder had already stopped bleeding, he was sweating bullets due to the immense pain.“Who are you?”Frank was puzzled.Where did Lord Lex find such a powerful fighter?More importantly, he was still so young.“My name is Alex Rockefeller, the son of William Rockefeller!”Alex did not beat around the bush and told Frank in a forthright manner.Frank looked at Alex with his eyes widened. “You are William Rockefeller’s son?”He then proceeded to silently stare at Alex for a good half-minute. Resignation gradually crept onto his face, as he chuckled bitterly and let out a long sigh. “Why are you chuckling?”“Nothing at all! I have nothing else to say now that I have fallen into your hands. I daresay it’s all fated, so just kill me!” Frank was ready to sacrifice himself fervently with the spirit of a brave warrior.Alex shook his head. “If I wanted to kill you, I would have do
“It all started when your father recovered a sunken ship.”“He got his hands on an object in the ancient shipwreck — the Holy Book.”“It was actually a turtle shell. However, mysterious symbols and ancient scripts were inscribed on the turtle shell. It was understood to be some kind of secret manual for ancient, mystical martial arts, or even the true doctrine of cultivation techniques.”When Frank said this, he stole a glimpse at Alex and continued, “I did not believe it at first but the truth is now laid bare in front of my eyes. You must have received the secret manual of the martial arts from the Holy Book!”Alex refused to make any comment, but deep down, he was extremely shocked.The Holy Book?He had never heard of this object. His mother, Brittany, did not mention it to him, not even once.“What does it have to do with Gokudo Soshiki then?” he asked.“Unfortunately, a few parties inadvertently got wind of your father’s discovery of the Holy Book, one of them being Japan
Alex frowned and said, “The ashes do not belong to my father.”He decided not to reveal that it belonged to an old sow instead.“What? How do you know?”“I said this because I have full conviction.”“That’s weird, then…” Frank’s expression changed as if he suddenly remembered something. “Could it be that your father is still alive?”“What do you have in mind? If you have something useful for me, maybe, I can spare your life.”Whoever in this world would not cherish their lives?As Frank’s survival instincts were kicked into gear upon hearing Alex’s proclamation.“You father had been behaving rather oddly in the last few months prior to the accident. Pepper Kimmich once mentioned that she saw a burst of extremely terrifying energy emitted from your father’s body, but she couldn’t tell clearly what exactly it was. However, since then she started suspecting that your father had already decoded some of the hidden knowledge on the shell. It was just that he hid them so deeply that y
After going out to find Lord Lex, Alex immediately said, “One of the projects in the Southern California Business Association Battles is named the Sky Tower, Lord Lex. I want you to take that.”Lord Lex also heard about the names of the projects in the SCBA Battles this time.He was instantly surprised after hearing Alex’s request. He smiled bitterly. “The project of the Sky Tower is the most important and largest among the resources allocated in the SCBA Battles this time, Mr. Rockefeller. I can’t stress just how many people have their eyes set on it, I… don’t think I am up for the job!”“How can we get it, then?”“As the champion of the tournament. However, throngs of expert contenders will be expected to show up. Not to mention local fighters from Southern California, there are also hired strange people and even foreign experts. Some forces are willing to fight one another to death for the best resources… Unfortunately, we do not have anybody qualified enough at Thousand Miles.
‘Okay, so you admitted that what you said earlier wasn't serious stuff.’“The products of Lush Cosmetics developed by your mother are too great, they are too wonderful! We are running out of stock for these two products at Belle Blossom and your City Salon! The number of people on the waiting list is already in the thousands, can you believe it? What should I do?”She was worried yet jubilant despite the predicament.In just a few days, the upsurge of Belle Blossom’s popularity was seen among the circles of female socialites in California. The booming popularity was mainly due to a heiress from a certain great family in California. She was Lily Coleman, the heiress to the Coleman family, one of the four great families of California. In terms of facial features and figure, she was the best of the best. Unfortunately, she was born with a pockmarked face.Clusters of freckles were visible all over her face, people with trypophobia would have goosebumps all over their bodies after seei
Alex frowned. “I haven’t disclosed why I came here yet, and you are bent on kicking me out already?”A round-faced security guard replied, “What else could you be up to? I have seen many people like you, aren’t you the security guard from the parking lot located opposite our salon? Is it too hot outside, so you are here to scrounge for the free air conditioning? Are you even worthy to do so? Look at the expensive marbles inside, what if you soiled them, can you afford to pay for it?”“I did not come to cool myself down.”“Then, are you here to apply for the position of security guard? I am sorry, our security guards have high standards. Poor bumpkins like you are not qualified for the job. Hurry and get out of my sight as far away as possible, you are such an eyesore.”The other guard deeply agreed and chimed in, “This bumpkin right here must be envious of us so he also wants to apply to be a security guard here. Our security guards at City Salon are well-treated. Other than high s
