Shermaine sobbed uncontrollably. However, Dorothy didn’t even want to look at her. “Inform all the higher-ups that we’re going to have a meeting in the first meeting room.”The news caused an uproar within the company. Numerous employees cheered loudly as well. Everyone didn’t dare go against Emma back then because they didn’t want any trouble. However, despite their cowardice, they still sided with Dorothy in spirit.Alex, on the other hand, didn’t have anything to do at the time.He looked at Shermaine who was extremely upset and still sobbing uncontrollably. Alex shook his head lightly and walked off.Just then, a luxurious car arrived in front of the company. A man and a woman got out of the car.The man was in a smart suit looking dashing, and the woman was Beatrice Assex.Why were they here?To propose.The security guards at the entrance of the building received the news of Dorothy regaining her position in the company. Hence, as Dorothy’s sister, Beatrice could enter th
The woman was Maya Howards, Alex’s university senior. She was a year older than him and one of the most popular girls in her year as well. She had both brains and brawns, literally a jewel at school.She was the student council president in her third year until she graduated; successfully organized multiple major school events; a social butterfly; and had a strong spirit. She was praised by everyone at school as a truly amazing woman.After university, Alex had asked her to help Dorothy build up this company, the branch in City South. And she did, building it to what it was now. Maya was Dorothy’s best assistant.However, Maya wasn’t at the company often. She would usually be leading a team to organize events in other areas. Alex had not expected to bump into her today.“Alex, what happened between you and Dorothy?“Is your relationship really in shambles? Why would your wife’s sister be helping your rival to propose to your wife?”Alex looked cold. “She has a death wish.”Maya
Beatrice was overwhelmed. “Thanks Felix!”Felix was staring at the tall building, smiling proudly.However, little did he know that his father was already rushing towards them, despite having a cast on one of his legs. In the driver’s seat was his bodyguard, Jay Sanders.Jay was around his thirties and is quite skilled in fighting as he used to be the first runner-up in the national kickboxing competition. He was extremely confused as to why Edgar felt the need to rush to apologize to someone even with his leg broken. He asked, “Mr. Shepherd, you’re badly injured. Even if you did want to apologize, couldn’t you have waited until your wound healed? Your health is important.”Edgar was panicking. “What would you know? That bastard Felix is trying to dig our graves! He’s proposing to the wife of Lord Rockefeller. Now that Lord Lex Gunther wants me there, how could I not rush?”Upon hearing this, Jay fell speechless and sped up the car.At the same time, Alex and Maya had reached the
Why would Edgar drop to his knees in public, throwing his dignity out like this?It was because he was terrified.He knew what Lord Lex Gunther was capable of doing.After all, Lord Lex Gunther’s status and power were much higher than that of Pegasus International. Now that his goddaughter was being harassed, Edgar was definitely dead meat.Moreover, his family had been broken up and all his successful companies had been ruined, taken over by others.Edgar was worried that he could be next.After kneeling down, he slapped himself hard numerous times and didn’t even look at his son.He didn’t even go easy on himself as his face was swollen from merely eight slaps. Everyone in the company was shocked, including Maya.‘What is happening?’ Those with sharp eyes noticed that Edgar’s ride was a Bentley worth 500 thousand dollars. They couldn’t help but gawk at it.Beatrice was stunned as well. However, she snapped herself back to reality and glared at Alex. “Hey, you loser, stop i
“I remember now. This middle-aged guy is the CEO of Pegasus International, Edgar Shepherd. The one proposing is Felix Shepherd who’s been harassing Lady Dorothy for quite a while. Well, isn’t this great? Felix’s father is groveling before Alex.”“How could Alex have the CEO of Pegasus International kneel for him?”This was a mystery everyone was itching to unravel.Edgar immediately ordered Jay to hand him the check they had prepared earlier. Edgar handed it to Alex with the utmost respect and said, “Master Alex, this is twenty million dollars. Please accept it! It’s just a little gift. I won’t get up until you accept this!”Maya was shocked once again, watching Alex puzzledly.Alex stared at the check emotionlessly.Suddenly, Alex’s phone started ringing. It was a call from Lex Gunther.Alex took a glance in Edgar’s direction and picked up the phone calmly. “Hey, Lord Lex!”Upon hearing the name, cold sweat trickled down Edgar’s forehead. He raised the check higher, his face f
Dorothy stared at her sister coldly.She had witnessed everything back in the meeting room.Beatrice had brought Felix to her company to propose to Dorothy in public. Not only did it hurt and insult Alex, but it extremely humiliated Dorothy as well.How would she appear in public now?Dorothy looked up and saw Alex walking in. “I won’t be interfering with this. She’s all yours.”Alex’s deadly cold gaze landed on Beatrice.“Sis, you’re my sister! How could you do this to me?”Without hesitation, Alex slapped her hard across the face, causing one of her cheeks to swell up.Dorothy froze. However, she immediately averted her gaze—she decided to not look at Beatrice.Beatrice looked like she was about to cry as her mouth fell open.Merciless, Alex slapped her on the other cheek.Beatrice’s eyes were filled with fear and her body started to tremble. This version of Alex was unfamiliar to her; she was terrified of him. This was no longer the useless loser who slaved away in their
It was 1:30 P.M. by the time Alex arrived at Hell’s Angels owned by Thousand Miles Conglomerate.A few underlings were waiting at the door. As soon as they noticed Alex, they bowed down respectfully. “Welcome, Master Alex!”Alex was starting to get used to this title and nodded. “Where’s Lord Lex?”“Lord Lex is inside. After you, sir.”Lex looked much better compared to when a demon was draining his Chi and blood. His cheeks were slightly flushed and he seemed to be quite energized as well.Alex noticed a strong aroma of traditional medicine and could miraculously tell which herbs and in what ratios were used just from scent… This was another ability that came with the Ultimate Book of Medicine.The medicine included ginseng, wild celery, chinese knotweed, saussurea, and many other expensive herbs. It seemed that Lex was taking this medicine to help restore blood flow.However, the ratios seemed a bit off—it was too concentrated. That was why Lex’s face was fairly flushed.Upon
“Oh? Azure, you actually invited Jarsurya of Obloha Nuvem?” Lex turned around, surprised by the appearance of the monk. A bright smile appeared on his face as he immediately showed his utmost respect towards the monk. “Ah, Jarsurya the Venerable One! Thank you for coming to my humble home. My place isn’t much, I apologize.”Alex had never seen Lex behave so respectfully.He froze and thought, ‘Was this monk some sort of powerful figure?’Upon closer look, he noticed something.The monk had a fairly strong Chi—he really had a certain level of power. This was the first time Alex had seen anyone like him and couldn’t help but feel curious. He wanted to look into the monk’s Chi even more.As he finally had a good look at him, he felt a slight sense of disappointment.This monk indeed trained his Chi. However, his wasn’t as strong as Alex’s. Compared to Alex’s Chi, the monk’s was akin to a mere ant. Alex had the help of his ancestor’s Chi to help train him. Despite already using u
