The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 632

“Now that you have such strong mental power, you should be able to protect yourself easily if you encounter any ordinary gangster. I can be assured right now.” Alex said in a sincere voice. They stood on the deck, where a gentle breeze blew, and the soft sound of the lake’s running water could be heard. Zendaya said nothing, merely peering silently into the dark waters of Willow Lake. After a long time, she finally said in a quiet voice, “Even if I had a thousand abilities, what’s the use? I still can’t get rid of the shackles of fate, and I still can’t love anyone. Even if I stood above all living beings, I’d still have to endure the emptiness and loneliness. Do you understand how l feel now, Alex?” Alex felt a little embarrassed and awkward, and he couldn’t answer. Zendaya was well aware of it too, and she didn’t force him. If he couldn’t hide from the world with her, he would have to bear the brunt of Michigan’s Stoermer family and Missouri’s Coleman family. It was something that was simply too heavy for her to bear. Drip… drip… Alex had his arm on the ship’s railing, and he felt wet droplets trickling down it. She was crying. His chest tightened, his heart clenched. “Zendaya, don’t be like this. I’m… I’m not worth it.” “I’m sorry, I’ve caused you trouble again… Actually, it’s not wholly because of you. Maybe… I’ve just been a sentimental person since I was a child. Come, let’s drink If we can’t be lovers, we can still be friends, right?” There was a small coffee table on the deck, accompanied by some wine. Zendaya had had it brought up from the restaurant below deck. She poured two glasses, one for Alex and one for herself. “Come. To the past!” “Cheers!” “A toast to the future!” “Cheers!” “And this, to death!” Alex shook his head. “That can’t be good. This one, to tomorrow!” With tears still on her face, Zendaya looked at Alex dumbly. She pursed her lips, then smiled and said, “Alright. This toast, to tomorrow!” A crystal clear tear dropped into the wine glass. She raised her glass and drank it down in one shot. Alex felt that her mood was quite unstable right now. That said, he too downed his glass of wine. “Zendaya, I’m happy…” Just as he was about to speak, he felt that something was wrong. A strange heat was moving in his body, and it was spreading quickly. He was the inheritor of the Ultimate Book of Medicine, after all, and was familiar with these sorts of medicine. Hence, he felt the effects right away. His face changed. “Zendaya, this wine… That’s not right. You… What did you put in it?” Zendaya’s eyes were unusually gentle as she looked at Alex. She said softly, “ ‘Did you know, Lex? For you and I, other than today, there will be no tomorrows!” “What do you mean? ” Alex asked, immediately employing his Chi to disperse the effect of the drug. But in the next moment, Zendaya’s mental power rushed into his mind. It instantly drove him to confusion, causing all his Chi to be immediately scattered. He could vaguely see Zendaya pulling off the shirt she wore, revealing a figure of the most perfect proportions. Tears were rolling down her face, but a smile streaked across her lips, and it was as enchanting as it was captivating.
