The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 656

After finishing her words, Queenie hopped into her Ferrari and drove off. Brittany squinted her gorgeous eyes and said, “If I’m not mistaken, this Lord Bale of Hydra Group is interested in our Lush Cosmetics.” Alex huffed. “He can dream on.” Brittany said, “Hydra Group is quite powerful in Michigan, but they’re just powerful in the underworld, they don’t have much status within the business world. He may be the president of SCBA, but many large families look down on him, they don’t even deign put on their courteous pretense… Oh, by the way, our Lush Cosmetics has gained a lot of popularity clue to Zendaya’s commercials. Yet a lot of people still think we’re just easy meat, they think they can overpower us as long as they want to. We may be up against Hydra Group this time, but we might have to face a super large family next time. It just depends on how much it would benefit them.” Alex closed his eyes and pondered for a while, then said, “Alright, I’ll accept his invitation then. Let’s see if this Lord Bale has what it takes to take Lush Cosmetics from us.” Brittany said, “I have the same opinion too. We should face any problem head on. Or else, we won’t be able to know if they’d try to pull dirty tricks on us later on.” Alex replied, “I’ll just go alone.” Brittany said, “I’m the one that he’s inviting, so how could I not go?” Just then, Maya walked out of the company and stared at Alex with a gentle gaze for several seconds. She said, “Count me in!” Waltz said, “They said that only three people can go with an invitation, I think I should go!” Maya shook her head. “We’d be at a better advantage if I were to go.” Waltz was startled, she said, “What do you mean?” Maya only smiled but didn’t say a word. Alex explained, “Maya is already an Advanced-Mystic ranked martial artist. Waltz, I already told you that Maya was going to surpass you sooner or later. You can only blame yourself for being lazy.” Waltz felt abnormally upset. When she first got to know Maya, she was just an average person. To her surprise, Maya had already surpassed her in such a short time. She shot Alex a dirty glare, as if she was suggesting that he must have given Maya a special treatment. Alex glared back at her and said, “Then it’s settled. Waltz, Michelle, you two should take the small energy pill that I’ve invented recently later in the afternoon. You should try and train more to hone your skills to the next level. Don’t worry about anything else for now.” *** At the same time, Queenie had just gone back to Hydra Group. She started crying as soon as she saw her godfather, Lord Bale. “Godfather, those people from Lush Cosmetics are too cocky and despicable. I want to bring someone to kill them!” Lord Bale was in his sixties as of now, his heard was completely white. However, his face was still brimming with energy. He was holding two steel eggs in his hands, turning them with a grunting sound. His gaze turned cold as soon as he saw the slap mark on Queenie’s face. “God damn it!” He paused and said, “But those are just insignificant people. I have invited many skilled martial artists to the banquet tonight, so I can’t afford to keep them waiting. I’d like to see if my title as Lord Bale of Hydra Group still works. If it doesn’t, I’ll be sure to snap them back to reality.” Queenie wiped her forced tears. “Thank you for calling the shots for my sake, Godfather.” Lord Bale waved his hand. “Run along now, I’ll be sure to avenge you with a payback of a hundred times tonight.” Queenie hummed in agreement. Thinking of Michelle, she couldn’t wait to grind Michelle’s bones into ashes. Before they knew it, it was already five in the afternoon. The whole Phoenix Mount Diner of Michigan had been reserved for this very day. Lord Bale was the host of the banquet and invited his martial artist friends who were going to represent Hydra Group in the tournament tomorrow. Hence, the scale of the banquet was the greatest in the entire restaurant. With loud cheering, they were eating and toasting joyously with one another. Queenie, on the other hand, was keeping an eye at the entrance, waiting for Alex and the others to arrive. After waiting for quite a while, she felt that those three trash would chicken out. When the time came, she could bring along some of Hydra Group’s underlings and teach them a lesson. Just then, she noticed three people with the corner of her eyes, they were Alex, Brittany and Maya. Her expression immediately turned cold. ‘So you people really did come to dig your own graves! This is perfect. Since you’re here now, you’d be a fool to think we’d let you leave.’
