The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 1377

The person who had arrived was Grace’s former boss. He was the founder of Hidden Dragon, Draco Crain. When Alex noticed his Grace referring to the old man, he immediately knew who he was. He had overheard her phone call after all. “Stop this!” At the same time, Draco walked to the ruins under the protection of two uniformed teams. He yelled, “You two! You’re Department Six and Divine Constabulary leaders! You’re making a fool out of yourselves by fighting each other!” At that, both Grant and Geronimo felt ridiculously uncomfortable. They then bowed to the old man, greeting him. “Elder Crain! ” Draco was much older than the two. He wasn’t even of the same generation. Hence, he was considered among the rarest and oldest heroes within America. Putting his status and power aside, Draco was experienced enough for the two to refer to him as ‘Elder Crain’. After realizing who Draco was, Quentin was stunned. He didn’t expect that his family matters would get such a powerful man involved. He was so excited that he immediately rushed over, just so he could welcome him as well. However, Draco walked towards Alex instead, scanning him from top to bottom. After that, he even patted Alex on his shoulder. “You two do look alike! Carbon copies of each other!” It was apparent as to who he was referring to. Anyone who knew Alex knew that Draco meant that Alex looked like William, his father. Draco then let out a deep sigh. ”Although I‘ve aged a lot in the past few years, my memory has become better. I have been thinking about him lately. I even remember that I owe him a thank you. I really didn’t expect him to die so young. It was a pity that I couldn’t thank him in person.” When Draco mentioned this, Grace put her hand to her mouth. She started sobbing profusely. Back then, when William left, the Hidden Dragons disbanded. William had argued with Draco that very day, and it didn’t end well. The two ended up as strangers after that harsh argument, completely disregarding their father and son like relationship. This situation had even caused most of the members of the Hidden Dragons to feel awkward around William. However, with Draco‘s thanks, he was admitted defeat and acknowledged William’s status. It was a pity that he had already passed away. Grace said, “Elder Crain, my daughter was nearly raped, the incident recorded without her consent, just so they could threaten her to oblige further! Her life could’ve been ruined! Alex was the one who helped her out of justice, yet he was still put on trial and arrested by Department Six! We were the ones with sufficient evidence to prove his innocence, but someone tried to turn things against us! I can’t help but think that America is no longer as lawful as it used to be!” The old man straightened his posture, his aura intense. “Of course it still is!” “America will always be lawful and just!” “The descendants of the Hidden Dragons are not ones to be provoked as well.” Grant took a few glances towards Alex. He really didn’t expect Alex to be remotely related to this old man. More so, he was shocked at the fact that William used to be a Hidden Dragon member. He had some questions in mind regarding William, but he knew that it was impossible to bring Alex with him when Draco showed up. However, he had achieved his goal today, now sure that Alex had inherited the Holy Book. Everything was much easier now with this knowledge in mind. He walked over to Draco. “Elder Crian, Department Six symbolizes justice, so we have nothing against Alex Rockefeller. I just wanted to bring him back and ask him a few questions about this matter. If he really is innocent, I will do everything I can to prove that. No one would be able to accuse him later on.” Draco then raised his crutch and pointed toward the members of the law department of Michigan and the interrogator from Alaska. “Aren’t you three putting him on trial? Just proceed with it, then. You’re Lord Commander, for god’s sake. Can’ t you solve such a small matter?” Comparing their strengths, Grant was able to kill Draco with just one hand. However, this wasn’t a situation where they could battle to have a say in things.
