“How much does it cost?” Christopher glared at Claire with murderous intent.After that, he said, heartbroken, “Jean Peculli’s artworks are priceless, you wouldn’t be able to buy it even if you wanted to. However, if The Landscape really were to be put up in an auction, it should be way more expensive than the one that was bidded in Port City last time, with a worth at least a billion dollars.”‘What?! It’s actually worth a billion dollars?!’ Upon hearing those words, Claire thought as she fell and sat on the ground, due to her legs enervated.Realizing that she had tore a billion dollars apart, she wanted to ram her head into a wall out of regret. After all it was a billion dollars, when would she have the opportunity to see such a large amount of money?On the other hand, Edison, who was ashen-faced, immediately explained as he faced Sharpay and Adrianna with doubtful looks on their face, “Sharpay, Aunty, I was fooled too. F*ck, I’ll demand a proper explanation tomorrow.”Christ

The moment the spark of fire flashed in the dark, Alex’s sense of danger peaked.“Careful!”His body immediately moved out of reflex before he could think about anything else. He instinctively grabbed Waltz’s shoulder and pushed her onto his lap. Then, he forcefully pushed down the Lamborghini's passenger seat with his back, lying down.It was almost the same time that a bullet flew through the car windows. Flying over the driver’s seat, the bullet brushed over Alex's nose and passed through the other side of the window.“An assassin!” Adrenaline rose in Alex’s body, causing the Chi of the Force and the divine power in his energy core to be violently stirred.Waltz was one of the Three Great Chieftains of California’s underworld, hence she knew what was going on immediately: they were facing a sniper.Vroom!Suddenly, another large truck on the opposite side of the road rammed toward them.If the Lamborghini were to get hit, both of them would end up becoming flat patties, le

Alex’s heart sunk with restlessness. After taking a glance at Waltz, he headed toward the door and walked out.He recognized that voice from the phone, it was Anna Coleman from Divine Constabulary.It was obvious that she had some sort of evidence in hand for her to go straight to the point and say those words confidently. That would mean that Waltz’s men somehow left some clues after cleaning the scene. However, he put some thought into it and figured that it was normal. After all, Thousand Miles Conglomerate was just a private force in California’s underworld, how could it be comparable with an international organization like Divine Constabulary?However, he didn’t worry one bit at all. After all, he was the victim during the whole process of the incident. His killing of the assassin could be justified as self-defense.“Anna, are you poisoned today? Do you need me to force it out of you again?” Alex chuckled as he said.His words immediately enraged Anna.Being forced to urinat

Anna was so shocked that she couldn’t say a word. Her chest was restless and could not be calmed down for a while, it was even getting difficult for her to breath as if she had just climbed a mountain that was several kilometers above sea level.After ten seconds, only then did she say in disbelief, “How is this possible? Steel Tower is the second best fighter in our team, his strength is just second only to you, Leader Sky. But, this guy actually defeated him with one punch, is he even human? Could it be that, he’s not at Mystic rank, but he’s… an Earth ranked fighter?” Sky nodded awkwardly and said with a bitter expression, “You might be right. Remember the car frame that killed Black Skeleton on the hillside? Not even a Peak-Mystic ranked fighter could throw such a heavy frame across several hundred meters and kill a world-class assassin.”Anna covered her small mouth with her hands, with her eyes widened in shock.Sky then smiled. “Anna, you did well. A powerful character like

Alex and Anna hurried to Rockefeller Manor.There weren’t many cars on the road at night, so Anna sped across the roads, ignoring the traffic lights as if they were just decorations to her. She fully stepped onto the pedal and rampaged through the roads. The car was so fast that a string of sparks was produced along the way due to the friction of the tyres, causing many people yelled at them with displeasure.Vroom! As the car sped by, a pedestrian on the sidewalk shrieked in shock.Alex’s eyelids kept twitching. He couldn’t bear watching any longer, so he lifted his arm and gave a slap.Smack!A hard slap was landed on Anna’s thigh.“Why are you driving so fast? Are you rushing to your own funeral?’Anna was enraged. “How dare you, try and hit me again?”Smack!Alex didn’t hesitate at all. After slapping her thigh again, he said, “You actually asked for such an excessive request, do you think I’m a masseur? Your legs are too thin, there’s nothing sensual about them at all.
