The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 276

It was a private villain a suburban area. The environment was elegant and fairly quiet. There was only this one villa, without any other buildings in the radius of five hundred metres of the area. The back of the villa faced mountains, whereas the front villa faced a river. It seemed to have a geomantic omen, it was very suitable for building large graveyards. After lifting his head and looking into the villa, Alex rang the doorbell. With a loud click, the heavy steel gate opened up. At the same time, a bright light shone inside, illuminating the front yard in the dark night, as if the sun had subdued the darkness. At first glance, the front yard was not like the garden paths in normal villas. There weren’t any flowers or trees, all it had was a lifeless cement floor. A built man stood in the middle of the yard, he was a head taller than Alex. Alex’s gaze immediately sharpened as he tried to sense the man’s Chi. Moreover, as his gaze went past the man and looked up to the third floor of the villa, he could sense that someone else was looking down at him through the windows. Two other people stood by the window of the third floor, they were Anna, and her team leader, Sky Melvis. Sky smiled as he said, “He found us.” However, Anna didn’t believe that. “No way, all the windows here are made of one-way mirror glasses. Moreover, the room isn’t even lit. How could he possibly find us? I’d say that he was just staring at a random corner, his eyes disgust me.” Sky smiled and didn’t say another word. Anna continued, “Leader Sky, you’re overestimating his abilities by sending Steel Tower to test him. I fought him for ten minutes, yet I lost to him by half a move. Steel Tower would kill him with just one punch.” Sky shook his head. “We’ll see.” Anna muttered, “Do you really want him to join Divine Constabulary? This guy lives off his wife, his wife has total control over him! If he ever joins, it would lower Divine Constabulary’s standards!” Sky replied, “Why are you so against him? He somehow saved your life, or else you would’ve ended up in a much worse fate yesterday. He even helped us solve a case.” “I just dislike him. Hmph, he’s also a bastard who secretly learned my martial arts.” Just then, Alex folded his arms behind his back, slowly walking to the middle of the yard. He then stopped in front of Steel Tower. “I’m here for Anna Coleman,” Alex said calmly. “Hmm!” Steel Tower responded with a snort. He opened his eyes and stared down at Alex. “Hey kiddo, I heard that you secretly learned Anna’s Dragon-Tusk Punch, you seem like you have some skills. If you want to see Anna, you have to endure my attacks for one minute. If you could handle that, then I’ll let you pass.” Alex’s mouth curved up slightly, he took a glance at the third floor once more. He thought, ‘Is this how you’re trying to humble me down?’ He shook his head. “A minute? That would be too long.” Steel Tower laughed heartily while showing his white teeth. “You can’t handle a minute? You really… Know your limits. How about half a minute then?” Alex shook his head again. “That’s still too long.” “No way. Are you just a weakling then?” “What I’m trying to say is, if you could block one punch from me, I’ll admit defeat.” Alex’s arms were still folded behind his back and his expression was extremely calm. However, his words had almost caused Steel Tower to snap. His words had reached Anna’s ears as well, loud and clear. She huffed. “One punch? This guy is so arrogant like a lunatic, does he really think he’s Grandmaster? I’d say that he’s the one who couldn’t even endure one punch from Steel Tower… ” Before she could finish her speech, Steel Tower and Alex lunged toward each other. Alex immediately swung his fist toward Steel Tower. Steel Tower also swung his fist to intercept Alex’s attack but he was too slow. When his arm was extended halfway, Alex punched him right in the gut. Steel Tower’s sturdy, towerlike body flew right back as if he were a cannonball. Anna’s words trailed off, she almost bit her tongue out of shock Sky was startled as well, his eyes lit up. Alex looked up to the third floor. “Anna Coleman, are you done watching? Can you come down here already?”
