The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 462

Nathan Pattingson wouldn’t dare test Alex Rockefeller anymore. Having achieved his objective, Alex withdrew his Chi energy. In fact, he even secretly swallowed two Blood Energy Pills. “Head of the Pattingson family, I killed your grandson with a punch and stabbed your son to death with a stick. But you still came to see me and bowed to me. Don’t you plan on avenging their deaths?” Alex asked casually. “I dare not,” Nathan said with his hands joined in salute. “Do you not dare do it, or do you not want to do it?” Alex snorted coldly. “I don’t dare, and I don’t want to either,” Nathan replied quickly. Alex smiled coldly and looked at him. Alex could tell from a single glance that Nathan was indeed an Earth expert. If they really did start fighting, Alex’s Mystic Armor might be unable to protect him. He’d most likely end up getting flogged to death. But, since Alex was faking it, he couldn’t afford to be timid. “Why is that?” Alex asked again. “In the world of ancient martial arts, Grandmasters must not be insulted. Anyone who insults a Grandmaster must die. My grandson and son overestimated themselves and actually disrespected you, a Grandmaster, and even harmed your wife. Their deaths are not to be regretted. Why would I avenge them?” continued Nathan. “Is that so? But they’re of your own flesh and blood,” Alex said. “I have many grandsons, and I have many sons too. There’s no harm in losing one or two,” Nathan said. “You’re sick,” Alex said after staring at Nathan for a long time. What? Nathan was stunned. He didn’t expect Alex to insult him like this when he was already so submissive. Was Alex determined to kill everyone in the Pattingson family? Nathan was still an Earth expert regardless, and he had dignity. Suddenly, his gaze became stem. “I said, you’re sick. In fact, you’re gravely ill,” Alex declared. For a moment, the temperature seemed to fall. The expressions on Keith Yowell’s face changed drastically. He abruptly pulled Michelle Yowell backward by a couple of steps, afraid that Nathan would attack without warning, grabbing her and forcing Alex to surrender. However, Alex immediately spoke up. “Your top energy core has been injured before, hasn’t it? The flow of Chi in your energy core isn’t smooth, and you occasionally suffer pain. Although you are considered an Earth expert now, you’re not much stronger than Peak-Mystic rank in reality! In fact, even after battling for such a long period, you’re not even as good as Peak-Mystic rank. Am I right?” Alex said. Nathan finally understood that Alex was actually referring to his real ailment when he said he was sick. Nathan was instantly shocked. This was his secret, and even members of the Pattingson family didn’t know about it. The Pattingson family could only establish itself in a high position in North Tokyo and acquire tons of resources with an Earth expert like him around. If news got out that his top energy core was injured, the Pattingson family’s status would be lowered bya great deal However, surprisingly, Alex was able to uncover his secret right away. Alex really was too powerful. “Elder, nothing can escape your eyes. I’m deeply impressed!” Nathan exclaimed. “With your top energy core injured, advancing to Divine rank and becoming a Telekinetic Grandmaster is equivalent to a fool’s dream. You will never become a Grandmaster… However, it is not completely hopeless,” Alex said. “Elder, what you’re saying is…” Nathan suddenly became excited. “I can cure it and repair your top energy core so that you may be eligible to advance as a Grandmaster once more,” Alex said. Buzz! Nathan suddenly felt out of breath, his hands and feet shivering. “Elder, this…” Nathan said. “I’m not your elder. I‘m around the same age as your grandson, Scott Pattingson. You can call me Mr. Rockefeller,” Alex said calmly. “You’re smart enough to know what to choose. I’ve always liked dealing with smart people. Why don’t we strike a deal?” Alex asked. “Please go on, Mr. Rockefeller,” Nathan quickly said. “I can fix your top energy core, and in return, you’ll work as my slave for two years. How does that sound?” Alex asked. As soon as Alex said this, everyone was shocked. Keith and Michelle had their eyes wide op en while they gawked at Nathan, wondering what he’d choose.
