The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 651

Alex lifted his arm gently. With this, Lord Lex straightened up after being lifted by an unknown force. “Who’s Janice? This guy can’t be your love child, right?” Alex seemed puzzled as he said, “If that’s the case, it wouldn’t hurt to spare his life.” Lord Lex immediately shook his head. “No, no. Janice was just a nanny of mine.” With that, Lord Lex then noticed that Alex’s gaze glistened with sparkle, with a look of trying to get to the bottom of the matter. He smiled bitterly. “Alright, I’ll be honest with you, Mr. Rockefeller. I did have a history with Janice for a period of time, but this woman was a sl*t, she had other guys and…” Lord Lex let his words trail off, unable to finish his sentence. Alex smiled and did not ask further. Instead, he pointed at the people on the ground. “Are they also members of Thousand Miles Conglomerate?” Lord Lex replied, “No, we Thousand Miles Conglomerate would never do such vile things. Or else, the officials would have arrested us ages ago!” Alex said, “Take them away then. Since they’re just posing to be your people, I’ll let you deal with them.” Lord Lex immediately ordered his men to take them away. As for how Lord Lex would deal with them, Alex didn’t deign to ask. They would probably end up just like Wolf too. However, people like them deserved to die. They were extremely greedy for having the guts to come to such a huge establishment like City Salon and demanded for three hundred million dollars. Alex figured that they would’ve done the same to many others as well. Who knew how many were forced to an edge, resulting in the fate of being destitute and homeless. Hence, even if those people were dead, they deserved it. It was just enforcement of justice in place of God. At that moment, Hailey was already stunned. Her beautiful eyes widened and kept winking, as if she were hoping to find out some secrets on the faces of the two men. “Hailey, let me introduce you. This is Lex Gunther from Thousand Miles Conglomerate.” Alex pulled her over and introduced him. He then introduced Lord Lex to Hailey, and said, “Lord Lex, This is my godsister, Hailey Lawson, who is also the owner of Belle Blossom.” Lex smiled as he said, “It’s a pleasure to meet you, Miss Lawson.” He even shook Hailey’s hand, which surprised Hailey even more. Just then, some officials arrived at the salon, led by the captain of the Ministry of Crime in California, Tony Lee. Tony was well acquainted with Alex, he knew Alex’s identity in Divine Constabulary as well. He had received a report that hundreds of Thousand Miles Conglomerate members had gathered here at City Salon, and all of them were skilled martial artists. He was worried that some gang fights might happen, resulting in large-scale casualties. Hence, he had brought his team over for investigation. If something like that were to really happen in broad daylight, the impact would be great. Not only would it affect California’s reputation, but it would affect the careers of many other powerful figures as well. However, he froze as soon as he entered the salon. Tony said, “Mr. Rockefeller, Lord Lex, you guys are… What are you trying to do with so many men? I have a weak heart, so please don’t be rash!” Lex laughed. “Look at you, you scaredy-cat. How are you going to protect law-abiding, good citizens like us?” Meanwhile, Alex said, “Oh, it’s you, Captain Lee. Nothing really, that’s it. I just took over City Salon today, so my friends from Thousand Miles Conglomerate came to support and congratulate me.” Tony was a bit puzzled. “This place, it seems to be an establishment for females, right?” Lord Lex replied, “That’s why I ordered them to wait outside! What is it? Can’t my men stand there for a while?” Tony smiled bitterly. “Lord Lex, there’s just too many of them! That won’t be good. Look, you’ve caused a traffic jam just by coming here. Why don’t you have them leave, please?” Lord Lex replied, “You can have the traffic police to fine me for this. I don’t mind, I’ll take it.” Tony fell speechless. In the end, Alex spoke up, “Alright, alright. Lord Lex, you should have your men leave. If you let them stay, you’d scare my customers too.” Lord Lex immediately said, “Alright, I’ll leave now. From now on, I’ll make sure to protect both City Salon and Belle Blossom. I promise you that no one would come looking for trouble again.” With this, he ordered hundreds of men to leave the salon immediately. *** Hailey pushed Alex to the sofa in the CEO’s office. Alex looked at her nervously, thinking that she was about to eat him up. However, she put her hands on her hips and said, “Bro, how many more surprises do you have for me? You’re like a treasure chest, you know? It’s like I keep finding more and more treasure as I dig, it’s endless.” Alex smiled as he said, “Well, isn’t that supposed to be a good thing? You can just keep digging.” “That’s Lord Lex we’re talking about though. He’s the absolute power in the underworld of California. How could he actually… Obey you with no hesitation?”
