The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 664

Queenie, especially, was covering her mouth with both hands. She felt as if she was going to puke at any second. “What… What is this? What did you feed me?” Philip screamed. Facing an unknown horror, he was petrified due to the force of human nature. Alex took a glance at him and replied, “A parasitic worm from Canyonland.” “What?!” Lord Bale’s face went pale, his entire body started trembling. He had heard of Canyonland’s parasitic worms, he even managed to witness one of his friends struggling in immense pain due to the torture of this godforsaken worm, suffering a fate worse than death! Alex smiled gently when he saw his expression. “What are you afraid of? As long as you listen to me and don’t ever come to bother me, this worm won’t affect you one bit. Just act like you’re helping me take care of it in your stomach for a few days.” Lord Bale fell silent. After that, he received the three billion dollars that Phillip had transferred over. Alex, Brittany and Maya left Phoenix Mount Diner nonchalantly. As for the corpses, they believed that Lord Bale would be able to deal with them just fine. *** Smack! After leaving Phoenix Mount Diner, Brittany’s slender hands slapped Alex on the back of his head, scolding him, “You brat, when did you learn to get those parasitic worms from Canyonland? Don’t ever keep those disgusting things from now on.” Maya nodded as well. Recalling the worm and how it would be wriggling in one’s stomach, she couldn’t help but tremble from disgust. Alex smiled. “Mom, what about it? It can be a good thing to control others at times. Just think about how large Lord Bale’s connections are? We might be able to avoid confrontation now, but it would be hard to avoid an ambush. We can’t read his mind, so who knows what he’ll try to do behind our backs? With this parasitic worm, he would definitely listen to us.” “Well, I didn’t rear it either. I just happened to be acquainted with an old lady from Canyonland a while ago. I asked one of these from her.” The old lady he mentioned was none other than Granny Blackwood. Brittany was a sensible mother. She pondered for a while and said, “Don’t ever use it unless it’s the last resort! Also, stop killing people out of spite. I know you’re a member of Divine Constabulary now, but you really have to limit yourself. I’m worried that you might go astray if you kill too many people. Got that?” Alex nodded in agreement. Just moments after their departure, a black Bentley arrived at Phoenix Mount Diner, parking the car at the entrance slowly. There was a young man and a woman inside the car. The man was dashing whereas the woman seemed stern and elegant. The woman said, “Tristan, are you really going to get the Sky Tower? I really don’t think you should waste your time and energy on this.” The man was the genius from the Coleman family of Missouri who had become in-laws with the Stoermer family of Michigan and engaged with Zendaya, Tristan Coleman. Even though he was merely twenty-nine years old, he was already an Earth expert. He was the youngest Earth expert in America known to the public. The woman was his subordinate, Suzaku. Of course, that was just her code name at the time. Tristan shook his head. “You’re wrong, Suzaku. This would be a betrothal gift to the Stoermers. I just need to get the ownership document and hand it to them. I don’t care about how it’s built! When the time comes, the top floor of Sky Tower will become the wedding room for me and Zendaya.” Suzaku seemed slightly jealous as she said, “Tristan, Zendaya is just an average woman. You can get any celebrity out there, so why choose her? There are so many other beautiful and skilled women in the Stoermer family. Plus, they definitely suit you way more than Zendaya.” Tristan smiled. “I’ve been to her concerts, and I’m sure that she’s the one that I want.” “But she… She’s been in a scandal.” “I was about to have you investigate the truth of this scandal actually. My wife is not allowed to be involved in a scandal with someone else. Investigate that man in the scandal, I want all information about him by tomorrow.” After pausing for a few seconds, he continued, “Alright, let’s go in! ” The two then walked into Phoenix Mount Diner, yet they saw a mess inside the restaurant. Tristan frowned. “What happened here?”
