“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

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

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

Rumors had it that half of the male students in her high school had written love letters to her back then.Yet, after many years later, they met again.Her eyes, once intelligent and glossy, were not what they used to be. What changed was how weathered they looked now. The innocence and naivety once radiated in those eyes would never come back.“I can’t believe you still remember your former classmate.” Hannah broke out into a faint smile, like a flower in bloom, oozing charm and allure.Her face was extremely enamoring, though she only had light make-up on.Both security guards were shocked to hear Hannah’s words.The poor bumpkin who was standing right in front of them was actually Miss Nancy’s acquaintance.Damn!What should they do?Would Miss Nancy fire them over the bumpkin?With a smile on his face, Alex said, “I really didn’t expect to see you here. Do you work here now?”A trace of pride slowly crept up Hannah’s face as she said, “Yes, I am the reception manager for

Hailey headed for Alex in her heels. Never did she expect that Hannah would stop her in her tracks.In fact, Hailey did not know the reception manager at all since she had just taken over City salon. With a slight frown on her face, she immediately asked, “What do you need from me?”Actually, Hannah had been waiting to meet Hailey.That was because after the change of ownership at City Salon, Jackie Luden, who was initially in charge of the salon, left. On the other hand, Hailey was the owner of Belle Blossom, she was too occupied to take charge of both establishments. Apparently, she wanted to hire a capable general manager to manage City Salon.For Hannah, this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. So, she had to take initiative and offer herself for the position.At this moment, after seeing Hailey taking initiative to ask her, Hannah quickly said, “Well, I heard that City Salon is looking for a general manager to manage its daily operations. I feel that I have the confidence a

“The boss that you insulted is him!” Hailey pointed at Alex.“He… he is…” Hannah widened her eyes in disbelief as she was extremely shocked.Hailey said, “Yes, Alex Rockefeller is your boss, the actual CEO of City Salon! From now on, you are fired!”“Argh!” After receiving Hailey’s firm response, Hannah was all shaken up as her face was as white as a sheet.“No, this is impossible. How could he be the owner of City Salon?”Hailey wanted nothing to do with her. “Go to the finance department and take your check now, begone!”Hannah’s legs trembled and almost collapsed onto the floor.City Salon had a bright future ahead, especially now with the addition of Lush Cosmetics, the salon raked in huge profits daily. Despite great hardships, she managed to climb up the ladder to become the reception manager. She even sacrificed her body and slept with Jackie Lundel for several times behind her boyfriend’s back to achieve her goal.However, now she was relieved of her job.She could not
