The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 609
Blood the color of crimson kept dripping. Soon, it formed a large pool on the ground. The three women from the Assex family felt their legs shaking weakly, and they couldn’t stand still. They
were all ordinary women, and even observing serious car accidents would leave their heads dizzy, let alone
something as tragic as one stabbing himself in the stomach.
Dorothy Assex nearly passed out a few times. “Why are you so foolish? Why are you so foolish? If you die, how will I live?” She cried out. Heath Accardo was also stunned by Alex Rockefeller’s act of stabbing himself. He was this cruel even to
himself. It was far too horrifying. People like Alex needed to die!
Maiko Chiba chuckled softly.
“I can’t believe you really do have deep feelings for her. You would even
commit to such a request. Fine. I, Maiko Chiba, always fulfill my promises. As long as you give me the Holy
Book now, I’ll let them go,” she said. Alex spat out another mouthful of blood. His body shook even more, and his face grew paler by the second.
In fact, he could only stop himself from
falling by kneeling on one side. He chuckled with difficulty. “You call this fulfilling your promise? Indeed, nobody from Japan is trustworthy. You’re all scums.”
“What?!”
Maiko exclaimed angrily.
She was a royal member of Gokudo Soshiki, and she held a position of great importance. How could she be
called a scum?
“I just wanted to make sure you have the Holy Book,” she uttered. “Fine!” With trembling hands, Alex reached into his pocket and took something out. He was glad that he kept this toy with him. Otherwise, it would’ve been difficult to fool his enemy. The item
he took out was none other than the Stake of Exorcism from Hong Kong’s Serena Wai. It was a toy that Serena used to pleasure herself daily.
This thing was made from the core of an old acacia tree that was struck by lightning. It was stained with
countless demons’ blood, and it had acquired a spiritual property long ago. On top of that, Alex had been
trying to modify it for the past few days… Using Chi energy of lightning attribute and his own blood, coupled
with blood talismans, he managed to subdue its evil properties.
Now, this item possessed a spiritual property that, once imbued with Chi energy, could invoke worldly
essence. “What is this? Do you think I’m a fool? Do you think you can take out any random item and claim it as the
Holy Book?” Maiko snorted. “Looks like you’re quite new… Cough, cough!” Alex spat out another mouthful of blood which splattered on
the Stake of Exorcism.
At once, the Stake of Exorcism invoked worldly essence, and an essence vortex began to form… Other people
couldn’t see it, but Maiko was also a martial artist and was able to sense it very quickly. Her spirit started to shake, and she believed Alex.
Maiko put her knife away and shoved Dorothy aside. “You can all leave!” Dorothy nearly fell down, but she immediately ran over to
Alex. “Don’t come near me! Hurry up and leave. Don’t worry about me anymore… If you come any closer, I’ll stab
myself again and die in front of you, ” Alex said cruelly. He moved the knife a little, and he made a muffled sound before more blood began to drip from his wound. Dorothy panicked when she saw this, and she quickly stopped moving forward. “Honey, don’t do this! No!”
“Why must you… Care about me? I’m not a good husband. I… I secretly fell in love with another woman. I
deserve to die! Go away!” Alex then turned to look at Claire with red eyes. “Claire, do you want to die here?
Get Dorothy to leave with you right now! Go!” He shouted. Claire’s body sprang to life. Although she was stunned by Alex’s behavior, she wouldn’t sacrifice her life for him. She quickly summoned
Beatrice Assex and dragged Dorothy away from the alley. A few of Maiko’s subordinates followed Claire and the others. Alex’s grip tightened. “Get them to come back. Otherwise, I’ll crush this Legacy Stake.” He came up with this name on the spot, but Maiko believed him even more. That’s because she had received an elder’s Legacy before, and she knew what it meant.
She immediately called for her subordinates to return. Maiko believed that, based on her current capabilities, and the fact that Alex was even weaker than a normal human now, she had no reason to worry about him
escaping.
“Can you give it to me now?” Maiko extended her hand. Alex extended his hand too. “Come and get it yourself. I’m out of energy,” he said. Maiko’s eyes turned cold, and she walked up to Alex. “Mom, let go of me! I said, let go of me! I want to go to him. I want to go to him!” Dorothy screamed at the
top of her lungs despite being dragged along by Claire and Beatrice.
Claire slapped her. “What are you screaming for? Do you want your mother and sister to die with Alex? He’s
already in such a bad state, and he won’t lie. Just give up on him!
