The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 858

Then, he saw Susan stroked her hair shyly, and lowered her head, her face slightly flushed. Wasn’t this just nailing it on the head? Inside, Alex thought, ‘That’s it, mom, you’ve been lied to.’ Since Susan’s question pressured him, Alex finally chose to say something about his father. “He went missing last year. Someone saw him in a car accident, and some said he died on the spot. His body was burnt, but when we checked his ashes, it was just an illusion. The ashes were not real but the ashes of some female pig.” Alex felt the pig’s ashes was an important clue, which was the reason he said it in detail. He hoped that it meant his father was still alive somewhere in the world and that Susan could get some information from it. Susan’s face was pale with eyes full of tears, completely unable to accept it. After a while, she confidently said, “Impossible. Your brother is a great man with great abilities, it’s impossible to kill him in a mere car accident! The ashes of the pig are a good proof. Even if a container going at high speed on a highway hits him, it would have been impossible for him to die.” Alex was surprised. “You… You have that much faith in my brother? That he wouldn’t die even if he was hit by a shipping container?” “Because I’ve seen it with my own eyes. When a landslide happened, a few heavy stones crashed down from the height of over a hundred meters, and they didn’t kill him when he got hit.” Alex was so surprised, his eyeballs were about to fall out from its sockets. Was the man Susan was talking about really his father, William Rockefeller? She wasn’t talking about some superhero like Spiderman or Iromnan? In that situation, even if it was Alex with the full Mystic armor activated, he wouldn’t have been able to do that! “It seems that you don’t know a lot about your brother.” Susan said smugly, as though she enjoyed the sweetness of knowing a secret he didn’t. Alex cursed inwardly. ‘William Rockefeller, you scum! You hid it from us but told your mistress. You’re really something else!’ But he quickly forgave his father. ‘Fine, I’ll forgive you. You must have suffered a lot too!’ He thought about how he himself had been pursued by the Japanese ninjas when he had obtained the Ultimate Book of Medicine, and how he had concealed the fact from his own wife, Dorothy but he didn’t hide it from Waltz. It was true that it was because he was concerned about her safety, so his father probably had the same reason too! Alex asked, “How did you know my brother?” When he asked that question, he didn’t expect her face to flush red instantly. It seemed as if she thought it was a sweet and shy scene. She wanted to say it, but felt embarrassed to. Alex felt a little strange, as though he was digging into his father’s romantic history. He immediately changed the topic and asked, “Then, when was the last time you met my brother?” Susan’s expression changed again, a little sad this time as she said, “The last time we met was June last year. At that time, we had just visited a tomb of a state master of ancient times, and it was very dangerous inside. We lost a lot of soldiers… And this strange disease I had was also from that tomb. My second uncle stayed in that tomb, and never came out again. Even your brother, who was a peerless Grandmaster, was injured. He said that he would find a kind of medicine to suppress the Yin energy in my body. However, there was no news of him after he left that time.” Alex swallowed heavily. This was just too much. His father was actually a Grandmaster, and he didn’t know about it at all! And Susan’s second uncle had died in the tomb, could it have been Chad’s father? He had casually asked about it and managed to confirm the information. Alex frowned again and asked, “Why were you guys at the tomb of an ancient state master? Was there anything valuable in there? Your body is strange, because your Yin energy is like a wild beast. What did you experience there? If you tell me in detail, then I will know how to save you properly.” Susah shook her head. “It’s not that there was something valuable in there. Your brother wanted to find something, but I didn’t know what exactly. Perhaps it was… A prophecy book.” Alex was shocked. “A prophecy book? Was it Nostradamus’ tomb?” “No, it was his uncle’s, Caesar’s.” “Where is the tomb?” “It’s in Michigan… Oh, right, it seems that the Sky Tower will be built there.” “…” Alex was speechless.
