The two fighters then moved a rosewood coffin out from the truck. As they placed it on the ground, it thudded loudly, shaking up a cloud of dust from the pavement.“Ah!”Even Waltz screamed upon the sight of the coffin, the expression on her face grim.In their culture, giving a coffin as a gift was an extreme taboo.Brittany’s face drained of color, her whole body trembling.Spark cackled once more and croaked pretentiously, “So? Do you like the gift? Just so you know, this coffin is made out of high-quality rosewood. It’s a pity that Alex, my dear cousin, had to die at such a young age!”“It was such a pity that he had to toil away for the Assex’. His wife wouldn’t even let him sleep with her! All he could do was lie in a crummy room, taking care of the three women’s daily necessities. He got insulted every single day too! Oh, what a shame!”“My cousin was so poor; I bet he couldn't even buy himself a coffin, which is why I’m here with this gift! I’m so sorry for your loss, Au

Alex strolled into the gate, holding a bag of breakfast biscuits. He had gone out to train early in the morning and decided to get some breakfast afterward.He didn’t expect to come back to a bright red coffin at his doorstep, let alone meeting Spark and the others.His tone was calm, yet his gaze extremely chilling.‘Who the heck would just send a coffin to someone’s doorstep when there wasn’t a funeral, to begin with?’“Son!” Brittany rushed to Alex and hugged him tightly as soon as she saw him. Tears streamed down her cheeks, and she just couldn’t hold them in anymore.Before Alex came back, she had been truly terrified by the news.Brittany was emotionally fragile at this point. She just couldn’t bear losing another loved one.“Mom, what’s wrong? Am I not standing here in front of you, alive and well? I was just worried that you’d be stressed out from making breakfast every day. That’s why I got some for us.” Alex smiled.On the other hand, Spark and the others just couldn’

Waltz clapped to remove the dust off her hands. “Brother, I’m done.”Brittany, however, was slightly shaken at the scene. “Alex, would they suffocate in there? We are still relatives, after all, and a light punishment would suffice. If something bad were to happen to them, then this wouldn’t be the end of it.”Alex replied, “Don’t worry, Mom, nothing bad would happen to them.”He used his index finger to poke a few holes into the coffin, ensuring that they had enough oxygen to breathe.“Waltz, take care of mom. I’ll be sending this coffin back, along with these bastards.”Brittany knew that if she let her son go alone, he might make matters worse. She immediately said, “Alex, I’ll go with you.”Waltz wanted to tag along as well, seemingly excited.“Then… alright! But let’s have breakfast first before we go. It won’t hurt to take a short break.” A few moments later, a large Mercedes Benz drove right in front of Rockefeller Manor.Noah and one of their security guards carefully

John’s meeting had just ended. He went back to his office and thought about how his family had sent Brittany a coffin.He hated her immensely, even though she was his sister-in-law. Back when William was still alive, Brittany was second-in-charge of the sales and finances of Rockefeller Group. It was extremely difficult to pull tricks behind her back when he was working under her.She had scolded him multiple times for tampering with documents, and humiliating him. He had always wanted to hire some men to kidnap her and humiliate her twice as much as she did to him.However, due to a meeting with the directors, it was regretful that he had to miss out on a great show.He immediately called his son, yet Spark didn’t pick up.‘This little brat, how dare he ignore my calls? Is he having too good of a time insulting that b*tch? Hence why he couldn’t hear his phone ring?’Just then, Pepper walked into the office, and she had on an elegant black uniform, with a pair of heels. She was

“Mr. Rockefeller, Alex is a fighter, and a pretty skilled one too. He must be fuming now, and it would be dangerous to meet him without any backup. I know a guy. He’s a fairly skilled fighter too. It’d be better if I asked him to back us up.”“Alright!”Pepper immediately dialed Baldy’s number.She started planning in her head immediately. Since Alex wasn’t dead yet, it could only mean that he still had the medicine with him, and she would be able to take it from him forcefully. She knew she didn't have the skills to snatch it from the Yowells. However, if it was just Alex that she had to deal with, everything felt much more comfortable.At the same time, a crowd had formed around the coffin at the Rockefeller Manor.Almost everyone in the manor had come out to watch. The maids, guards, and even Paige and her husband rushed out as soon as they got the news.Paige stomped her feet in fury. “How dare you, Brittany? You’ve gone too far... You’ve crossed the line! How dare you lock

‘What?’John glared at Waltz. His veins were bulging through his forehead.“Who do you think you are? You don’t deserve to even speak to me. Get lost!”From his point of view, Waltz was just like any other woman, perhaps slightly better looking. Under normal circumstances, he would definitely have tried to flirt with such a beauty. However, given the current circumstances where his wife and son were both locked in a coffin, he wasn’t in the mood for that.John pushed hard on the coffin cover.However, it didn’t budge at all.It was sealed shut with nails. After all, his strength alone would never be enough to open the coffin.“Guards? Guards! Come and help me out here! Are you all f*cking braindead? I didn’t pay you just to stand there and do nothing!” John roared, spitting his saliva all over the place with every syllable uttered.The guards just looked at each other and didn’t dare to help.They’ve learned their lesson after going up against Waltz.This gorgeous vixen was s

Baldy couldn’t stop screaming in pain. Cold beads of sweat trickled down his forehead.The entire Rockefeller family looked immensely disappointed. Baldy had come up to them all smug and cocky, throwing harsh insults without a care in the world. They thought he was a legendary fighter, yet all he was, was a bluff.Waltz chuckled. “Who am I? I am my master’s special servant. If you can’t even fight off a servant, how dare you think that you could stand up for someone else? Get lost!”Waltz, smiling sweetly a moment ago, suddenly transformed into a psychopath and slapped Baldy hard twice. She managed to knock two of his teeth out.Baldy’s expression was twisted. Obviously horrified, he even spat out a small pool of blood.He didn’t dare say a single word as he took a defeated glance at Pepper. With a darkened face, he prepared to retreat and leave.“Who said you could go?” a soft voice asked from behind him.Everyone looked toward the pond. It was Alex, staring at the fishes in th

“Medicine auction? Heh, Alex, you must be mistaken. I have no knowledge of medicine at all, why would I be at some auction? I’d usually just go to the hospital if I needed medicine. Why would I even dare to get some random medicine? Who knows what effects it might have?” Pepper smiled, denying Alex’s accusations.Alex returned her smile and said, “You’re right, who knows what effects it might have? You should know better, right, Secretary Kimmich? Remember to watch your step. You have four eyes, so you should be able to see much clearer than most of us. I hope you won’t take another wrong step.”He then turned to John.“You’re a few days closer to the deadline. You’d have to think this through.”“If you refuse to return what I asked for, you probably won’t be able to have this coffin opened. Forever.”Alex placed his hand gently onto the coffin cover.With a gentle pat, the whole cover turned into pieces of wooden shards.Pepper’s face had turned extremely pale, her eyes filled
