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
Both Lex and Azure’s eyes widened—they couldn’t believe their eyes.Jarsurya took a brief glance at Alex, hoping to see Alex in absolute shock and disbelief as well. However, the young man was still eating chips, chuckling as he watched his work like a circus performance.The monk became so angry that he almost made a mistake in his spell. He immediately calmed himself and shouted once to control the talisman to land on the spot Waltz was bitten.The talisman became dull as soon as it landed on the wound. In just a flash, the talisman broke into shreds. The black spot on Waltz’s thigh had become lighter as well.“Waltz, how do you feel?” Azure asked Waltz worriedly.Waltz nodded lightly. “A little better.”However, she still looked quite ill and upset.Jarsurya said, “The poison in her body is quite strong. Even with my powers, it is impossible to remove all the poison in one day. However, you don’t have to worry. I’ll be able to cure her within a week.”Azure immediately rushe
“Ah! A ghost!”“Help!”Everyone started screaming on the top of their lungs—no average man would be able to stand such a horrifying scene.The skull formed by black smoke controlled by Master Vaudou. With a loud shout, the skull bit onto Azure’s arm. Although Azure was able to take a few hits with his beast-like body, he was no match against the bite of this evil spirit.Azure started screaming in pain and felt his soul trembling within his body.The evil spirit drained both a human’s blood and soul. This caused Azure immense pain.Since Jarsurya was invited by Azure, he couldn’t just stand there and do nothing. He howled at the spirit and said, “Don’t you dare hurt the innocent, you demon! You give me no choice but to get rid of thee!”Jarsurya pulled out another talisman and spat his Chi onto it. The lettering on the talisman glowed brightly in mid-air.“Take that!”The talisman was thrown at the spirit.Alex was watching attentively and curiously from the sidelines. Althou
It was a piece of chip.However, this small piece of chip was concentrated with his Chi. After spitting it into the evil spirit’s mouth, the spirit’s mouth was sealed tight and it became paralyzed as if an immobility spell was cast on it.“Huh, what happened?” Everyone was stunned.The spirit had never stopped mid-attack.Master Vaudou shook the spirit’s bottle vigorously, shouting over and over again. However, the spirit was ignoring every command, as if it could no longer listen to him.Alex spoke up, “Such an evil spirit. You must’ve taken so many lives. I can’t let you roam around this earth any longer.He bit into his finger on his right hand and drew a symbol on his left palm with blood. This symbol seemed simple, yet it was fairly ancient.He slapped the symbol onto the spirit, causing a bright light to snake from within with a thunderous roar.This was one of the skills that Alex had required to defeat spirits—the Thunder Palm Mantra.The tall spirit screamed in agony
