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 couldnât 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. âWhy are you so foolish? Why are you so foolish? If you
die, how will I live?â She cried out. Heath Accardo was also stunned by Alex Rockefellerâs 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.
âI canât 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, Iâll let them go,â 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. âYou call this fulfilling your promise? Indeed,
nobody from Japan is trustworthy. Youâre all scums.â
âWhat?!â
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?
âI just wanted to make sure you have the Holy Book,â she uttered. âFine!â With trembling hands, Alex
reached into his pocket and took something out. He was glad that he kept this toy with him. Otherwise,
it wouldâve been difficult to fool his enemy. The item
he took out was none other than the Stake of Exorcism from Hong Kongâs 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 demonsâ 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. âWhat is this? Do you think Iâm a fool? Do you think you can take out any random item and
claim it as the
Holy Book?â Maiko snorted. âLooks like youâre quite new⦠Cough, cough!â 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
couldnât 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. âYou can all leave!â Dorothy nearly fell down, but
she immediately ran over to
Alex. âDonât come near me! Hurry up and leave. Donât worry about me anymore⦠If you come any
closer, Iâll stab
myself again and die in front of you, â 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. âHoney, donât do this! No!â
âWhy must you⦠Care about me? Iâm not a good husband. I⦠I secretly fell in love with another
woman. I
deserve to die! Go away!â Alex then turned to look at Claire with red eyes. âClaire, do you want to die
here?
Get Dorothy to leave with you right now! Go!â He shouted. Claireâs body sprang to life. Although she
was stunned by Alexâs behavior, she wouldnât sacrifice her life for him. She quickly summoned
Beatrice Assex and dragged Dorothy away from the alley. A few of Maikoâs subordinates followed
Claire and the others. Alexâs grip tightened. âGet them to come back. Otherwise, Iâll crush this Legacy
Stake.â He came up with this name on the spot, but Maiko believed him even more. Thatâs because
she had received an elderâs 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.
âCan you give it to me now?â Maiko extended her hand. Alex extended his hand too. âCome and get it
yourself. Iâm out of energy,â he said. Maikoâs eyes turned cold, and she walked up to Alex. âMom, let go
of me! I said, let go of me! I want to go to him. I want to go to him!â Dorothy screamed at the
top of her lungs despite being dragged along by Claire and Beatrice.
Claire slapped her. âWhat are you screaming for? Do you want your mother and sister to die with Alex?
Heâs
already in such a bad state, and he wonât lie. Just give up on him!
