The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 496

There was complete silence in the minivan, only the rotor sounds of the helicopter could be heard, reminding them that they were getting further away from the land. Boom! Until a certain moment, the minivan suddenly landed with a loud sound. Looking out of the windows, Alex and the rest found that they were now on the deck of a cruise ship. It was so isolated here that one would bail his eyes out and cry for help to no avail. As for the helicopter, it just flew away after setting the minivan down, deigning to even care about them as if they were just completing a delivery. “It seems there’s no one here?!” Missy stuck her face onto the window and nervously looked outside but she couldn’t catch any signs of life. Hunter directly kicked the door open. After getting off the passenger seat, he yanked the door to the rear seats open. He shouted at Alex, who was seated inside, “Get out, get out of the car now!” Alex patted Zendaya and said, “He’s telling us to get out of the car, Miss Zendaya. Since he’s so fierce, we better get off now.” Hunter’s expression darkened. “I’m talking about you. Only you, get off now! I am counting down from three, if you don’t get off by then, I will break your legs!” “Hunter, why are you doing this to Mr. Rockefeller? He has nothing against you, are you nuts?” Zendaya retorted angrily. Seeing Zendaya still backing Alex, Hunter couldn’t help but lose his cool. “Zendaya, the patriarch promised me that he would give me your hand in marriage if I could achieve Mystic rank. I’m confident thatl will definitely achieve Mystic rank in three months. When the time comes, you will be my wife. You said, why did I target him? Because you are my fiancée, and this b*stard tried to make advances to my fiancée! He should feel fortunate that I did not throw him overboard immediately!” “What?” Zendaya’s expression changed drastically when she heard it as she had never heard of such an arrangement. Meanwhile, her first reaction was to clutch Alex’s arm, much to Hunter’s chagrin. He extended his arm and wanted to yank Alex out of the minivan. Suddenly, a gunshot rang out with a bang. Someone fired a shot near his feet, with the bullet grazing his shoe sole. He trembled in fear and hurriedly hid in front of the minivan. “Who is it?” He shouted. “What’s the hurry? Isn’t it nice to take a look at the surrounding scenery while you are still alive? ” A man’s slightly hoarse voice sounded in the dark. Alex condensed his Chi onto his eyes, turning them into night vision, and looked toward the direction of the sound. He could see a row of men standing on the balcony of the deck’s second floor, all of them had weapons in their hands as they covetously eyed them down. The darkness of the night, along with the strong ocean breeze hid them from view. Even Alex had not noticed their presence earlier until the gunshot. Hunter stole a glimpse at the men and asked, “Who are you people? What do you want? If you want money, no problem. The Stoermer family is not short of money. Just tell us the amount, and we will offer you right away.” The man fell into silence for a while and said, “One trillion dollars. If you could take it out, I will release everyone here immediately!” “A trillion dollars, why don’t you commit a robbery instead?” Hunter retorted angrily. “We are robbing right now, did you just find out?” The man laughed. As he spoke, many people next to him roared with laughter. Another helicopter flew over at the moment. The man who spoke previously said, “The chief is here.” As expected, the ones who came down from the helicopter this time were Clown and his subordinates. Clown was probably a chain smoker. He had a cigarette in his mouth as he laughed heartily and walked toward the minivan. “Congratulations on the success of the concert, Miss Zendaya! Another chart topping new song is in the making tomorrow!” At this moment, the lights on the cruise ship were turned on, they were as bright as daylight. Zendaya looked at Clown but she did not recognize him at all. She frowned and asked, “Who are you? Why did you capture us?” Clown smiled and said, “Because I am your future husband! Oh, let me introduce myself, my name is Quincy Zoppins, my alias is Clown.”
