In California, you could stop children from crying with just the mention of his name. However, what most didn’t know was that in private, Lord Lex was a kind person. He rarely lost his temper and always made sure that the few he adopted were educated well. He was also a gentleman with them, never forcing them to do what they didn’t want to. Most of the time, it was the three of them who would take the initiative to do what they wanted to do.And now, her foster father had committed suicide and died. She could already think of the reason why he would do this.The tears that streamed down couldn’t extinguish the flames of rage and resentment in her heart. “Ahh!!!” She screamed and kicked Hector’s body.The body disintegrated with a boom.

Until the moment he died, Preston still couldn’t understand how Alex had suddenly gained the ability to kill him. And by a huge margin too.That violent thunder energy was not something he could fight back against. Preston’s cultivation was in blood magic art, something that had an effect similar to a wild beast. It could instantly stimulate the blood energy accumulated in the body, increasing its speed and strength by a number of times. He had thought that if the fight dragged on, victory would be his.Who would have thought that Alex’s last attack would be ten times stronger than before? If he had such strong powers, why didn’t he use them before this? If he knew about it in advance, he would have fled instead. With his speed, it wasn’t impossible to escape after all.But now, everything was too late. Bang!Preston’s body had lost the ability to resist against Alex, and he fell to his knees directly. Only a little life force was left in him.With his last breath, he spat o

On the way down, Aaron’s phone had become a public one. One by one, the women all called their families back.“Mom, it’s me, Rebecca. I’m still alive…”“Dad, can you come and pick me up? I’m at…”“Hubby, it’s me, Leslie…”Seeing that his phone was about to run out of battery, he quickly whipped out the power bank he was carrying. He was happy to let these people use his phone and get in contact with their families. As the women introduced themselves, he had heard it all.Deep down inside, he had a renewed sense of admiration toward Preston for being so bold.Many girls here hailed from bigshot families in Michigan or were at the very least their daughters-in-law. Some were of even higher stature than the Coleman family. It was equivalent to gaining lots of favors from today’s conglomerates and megacorporations!He admired Alex in his heart. With the favors of all these women, could he simply walk around in Michigan without getting mugged?Just Xyla Stoermeer alone was a g

These past few days, Alex had constantly been on Zendaya’s mind, and she missed him a lot. She really wanted to call him, to hear his voice.However, she was also afraid of the consequences of doing something she or Alex couldn’t shoulder… No matter if it was Michigan’s Stoermer family or Missouri’s Coleman family, they were both parts of the golden era’s hereditary royal families. Both families were not entities an ordinary person could go up against. Although Alex was good at martial arts, his foundations weren’t solid enough.She was afraid that once the affair between herself and Alex was leaked, he wouldn’t live to see the next sunrise. Therefore, although she yearned for him, she didn’t dare to contact him.Right now, hearing Alex’s name from Xyla’s lips caused her to almost forget to breathe.“Aunt, I’m very curious about this person you call your hero!” She picked up the comb and continued to comb Xyla’s hair, quietly asking. Xyla looked out the window at the sky th

When the news came out, the entire Michigan was shocked. Even the senior officials of Michigan were sent out to investigate. However, the elder of the Stoermer family, Zayn, released information that the Hydra Group had been oppressive and acted in a tyrannical manner, committing many evil deeds. Not only did they formulate an overlord pact, but they also used illegal means to take over other companies, creating an industry monopoly that seriously undermined the rules of the business circle in Michigan. Recently, they even wanted to acquire the Stoermer family business maliciously. Hence, to make an example out of him, the Stoermer family trampled on him overnight.Suddenly, all the inquiries made by the officials died down one after another as they ceased asking. Nobody dared to offend the big giant of Michigan that was the Stoermer family. Even the countless industries of Hydra Group who had lost their backbone overnight fell into chaos. But no one dared to fight for control

“Me?” Waltz was stunned for a long while before she finally shook her head. “I can’t. Just handling a single shipping company is enough to keep me drowned in work. I don’t have the capability to manage the entire Thousand Miles Conglomerate.”“Well, you can’t expect me to do it, right? I’ve only practiced martial arts to kill enemies. I’ve never learned anything related to business. If I were to take charge of Thousand Miles Conglomerate, its doors would surely have to close within three months.”Waltz choked. “And as a result, you have yet to break through into Mystic Rank, while I’m already close to being an Earth Expert.” The moment Azure heard that, he nearly wanted to throw up blood.He glanced at Alex resentfully and secretly thought, ‘You’ve really found a good husband. I want a husband like that too… ah, I mean, wife… so that I can reach Earth Expert too.’Alex sighed silently. Thousand Miles Conglomerate had been founded by his father and managed by Lord Lex. This wa

Once he said that, he swung his arm around the sexy massage lady and said, “Come, accompany this old man to have a good time. After I’m satisfied, I’ll give you a BMW!”The massage lady was obviously elated, and she followed him willingly.Concurrently, his phone rang. He pulled it out, and when he saw who was calling, he said to Fabio, “Talk about those bastards, and they come, true enough. It’s Azure.”Having said that, he picked up the call. “Nephew Azure... calling me at this time. What can I do for you?”Azure went straight to the point. “Come to Hell’s Angels for a meeting.”Jerry snorted. “Nephew Azure, do you think that you’ve become Thousand Miles’ boss after the death of your foster father? Come to think of it, do you even know how to manage a business? If Thousand Miles were in your hands, everyone would be out of a job, going cold and hungry by the end of the month.”Azure was indifferent. “I’m not the boss. Come for the meeting—it is to decide who will be. The meetin

Very soon, many Thousand Miles Conglomerate senior executives gathered up at Hell’s Angels.Everyone had come in only to see the big boss, Jerry Jackson, weeping bitterly at the coffin. He looked as though he wanted to chase after Lord Lex in his death. What should they do?Giving each other a look, these people kneeled too.Regardless of whether the tears were real or not, some pretense still had to be put up. As for these people, none came with any assistant, secretary, or bodyguard. When they saw their own boss kneeling, how could they not follow suit?The venue was huge, and not even thirty minutes later, people in black had already filled the large place, all kneeling. After a full hour, Azure finally broke the silence. “Alright. All the directors and everyone else has arrived. Let’s head into the inner hall for the meeting! Thousand Miles Conglomerate is fiercely competitive, and it has many opponents. The position of CEO must not be left empty for long, lest the hearts o
