The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 255

“When did you learn to say such sappy things?” Dorothy, on the other end, asked with a smile. She still found those words were somewhat sweet. “These words come from the bottom of my heart. Well, what happened to your mom after I left? Did your mom cause a scene and asked you to divorce me?” Alex said. “Of course, she did!” Dorothy thought to herself. “Don’t mind her. Just think of her as a patient. Oh right, I’m calling to tell you that it’s my grandpa’s sixty-sixth birthday today. We’re going to have a celebration tonight. You’re coming with me,” Dorothy said instead. “Your grandfather’s birthday is today? And you’re only telling me now?” Alex asked. “I didn’t want you to go at first, but I’ve changed my mind. I’ll get off work early at four later. Pick me up at the office,” Dorothy said. “Okay, okay. I’ll be on time. Goodbye, mwah! ” Alex said. After hanging up the phone, Alex looked up and found that everyone was in daze. That was because the ambience had changed so suddenly that none of them could get used to it. Not too long ago, the center was filled with battle cries and they were still engaged in a heated fight for their lives. Suddenly, it turned into some trifles and lovey-dovey chatters between a kept man and a jealous wife. *** Half an hour later, Robert Downie, accompanied by two other people, hurried over. One of the two was an old man with a youthful face, while the other was a young man who wore a green shirt and long pants. When Robert saw that the door to his martial arts center was destroyed, he charged in angrily. After entering the center, he was livid as he saw Jake and one of his disciples were severely injured. Enraged, Robert looked at Azure and shouted, “Azure Storm, you’ve gone too far! I’ve never done anything to Thousand Miles Conglomerate. Why did you do such cruel things to my people?” “Did you really do nothing? Why don’t you ask what has your disciple done out there? I’ve been very merciful for not killing him,” Azure said indifferently. Robert looked at Annalise. She then explained what had happened to Jake in a soft voice and pointed at Alex. Alex’s gaze landed on the other old man with a youthful look who just walked in instead. Although the old man just stood there poker-faced without saying anything, Alex could still sense that the man was even more powerful than Robert. However… Why should Alex be afraid of him? While Robert was still analyzing whether Jake or Azure was at fault, Alex suddenly started speaking, “You are Robert Downie, the master of Budweiser Martial Arts Center, right?” Robert snorted coldly and didn’t bother to reply to Alex. “I’m asking you again. I hope you will answer me honestly. Did you order someone to kill Anthony Patingson?” Alex continued asking. “Who is Anthony Pattingson?” Robert was stunned for a moment. Alex stared right into Robert’s eyes and even activated his Third Eye, to check the fluctuation of energy movement in Robert’s body. Alex could tell that Robert did not seem to be feigning the surprise, so he probably did not know about Anthony at all. “Well, I’m sure you know Dew Sunder, don’t you?” Alex asked. “Dew Sunder? Don’t you mention that b*stard. I don’t know someone like him,” Robert shouted angrily all of a sudden. His eyes turned fierce as well, they were even filled with murderous intents, as if he bore a great enmity against Dew. However, Dew was the one who killed Anthony Pattingson in prison. According to information provided by Thousand Miles Conglomerate, Dew was Robert’s most prized disciple. Meanwhile, the people from Budweiser Martial Arts Center were ashen-faced when they heard Dew’s name, especially Annalise, who looked worriedly at Robert. After that, she turned to Alex with a curious gaze. At first, she thought Alex was here because of Jake. However, based on the current situation, it seemed like that wasn’t the case.
