The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 495

“Argh!” Other than Zendaya, Alex, Hunter, and the driver, Bunty, Autumn, and a personal assistant named Missy were seated in the minivan. At this moment, everyone in the minivan screamed in fear. Another minivan on the ground was isolated. All its doors had been blocked by other vehicles. There was no way for its occupants to escape, they could only watch Zendaya’s minivan fly far away in the sky as it was being hoisted by a black helicopter. A lot of people were shocked as they witnessed the entire event being unfolded, just like a scene that would only appear in movies. They shouted in disbelief, “Oh my god! Oh my god!” Not far away, Clown took a glance at the helicopter that was flying away in the sky and grinned slightly. “Job’s done, retreat!” *** Whoosh! The helicopter made a banked turn. The minivan was swayed high at a slope angle of over thirty five degrees. “Wow…” Bunty trembled violently like a diseased hen and she looked as pale as a sheet of paper. Both her hands gripped the armrests of the seat tightly as she started screaming. On the other hand, Alex, who had a cold expression on his face, looked through the windows. At this moment, the helicopter gained altitude and the entire minivan was at least fifty meters off the ground. If they were to fall at such an altitude, they would turn into meat pulp unless there was a living saving miracle from their ancestors. “Do you think we will die, Alex?” Shivering, Zendaya clutched Alex’s arm and leaned herself against him as her body became limp. It seemed this was the only way that she could find solace amidst the imminent danger. Nobody could truly face death head on without wanting to die in the first place. “Don’t worry, I will protect you.” As Alex spoke, something seemed to gently strike his heartstring. It was a very unusual feeling, just like one that he felt when the both of them immersed in the emotions during the performance of “Doors of Fate”. Zendaya snuggled closer into his embrace and suddenly said, “Alex, I don’t know if there is a past life or an afterlife, but if there is an afterlife, I wish I could meet you again and wait for you, just like how it is in the ‘Doors of Fate’.” Alex’s heart trembled and he gently caressed her pretty face with his right hand. The look in his gaze was filled with complicated feelings. At this moment, Hunter was about to take out his cell phone and make a call. Unfortunately, there may be some sort of jamming device installed on the helicopter. He was furious as he couldn’t get any signal on his phone at all. “Damn it! Damn it! Who are these people? Where are they taking us to?” After roaring, he turned his head and looked toward the carriage. “Don’t be afraid, Zendaya, I…” What did he see after that? He saw Alex holding Zendaya in his arms, with his hand on her face. Their gazes met affectionately as their faces moved closer as if they were going to kiss. Whoosh! In that instant, Hunter felt a flurry of dizziness as if his mind were being pressed by countless thoughts of him being cuckolded. “Hey, b*stard! What do you think you are doing? Are you trying to take advantage of Zendaya? Get your hands off her, or else, I’ll kill you right now!” Hunter was extremely angry as the rage from the thoughts earlier fumed his mind. Alex looked at him and replied, “I didn’t take advantage of her. Miss Zendaya was frightened, so I just tried to comfort her by hugging her. You better hurry and figure out a way to rescue us instead.” Hunter almost wanted to spit blood as he thought, ‘Comfort? Nonsense! Why would I want to rescue you?’ He replied in frustration, “How do we rescue ourselves? Are you saying that we should jump out from here? There is no cell phone signal, we can’t even establish contact with the convoy!” Alex shook his head. “Jeez, didn’t I remind you earlier? I thought you were really capable, but it turned out to be a great disappointment. Don’t you worry so much, the perpetrators inside the helicopter didn’t make us crash down from here. Looks like they are not aiming for our lives. Perhaps there’s a chance that we might get rescued.” “Get your hands off Zendaya, now! ” Hunter roared desperately. Zendaya said, “Are you kidding me, Hunter Stoermer? Is this the time to deal with such trivial matters? Quick, think of a way to save us! My grandfather sent you here to protect me, are you really capable?” Hunter was speechless. About ten minutes later, Autumn suddenly shouted, “Look, it seems the helicopter tries to take us off the land.” Bunty’s flabby cheeks trembled. “Argh! What should we do? Could it be that they are trying to drown us into the ocean?” Alex’s eyes glistened. Once they had reached the sea, it shouldn’t be a big problem for Alex to directly jump down into the sea with the Mystic Armor. However, Zendaya had no cultivation technique at all, she would definitely die if she were to follow suit. “Let’s just wait!” He thought, ‘Let’s see what the other party is up to.’
