The Pinnacle of Life

Chapter 88

“I remember now. This middle-aged guy is the CEO of Pegasus International, Edgar Shepherd. The one proposing is Felix Shepherd who’s been harassing Lady Dorothy for quite a while. Well, isn’t this great? Felix’s father is groveling before Alex.”
“How could Alex have the CEO of Pegasus International kneel for him?”
This was a mystery everyone was itching to unravel.
Edgar immediately ordered Jay to hand him the check they had prepared earlier. Edgar handed it to Alex with the utmost respect and said, “Master Alex, this is twenty million dollars. Please accept it! It’s just a little gift. I won’t get up until you accept this!”
Maya was shocked once again, watching Alex puzzledly.
Alex stared at the check emotionlessly.
Suddenly, Alex’s phone started ringing. It was a call from Lex Gunther.
Alex took a glance in Edgar’s direction and picked up the phone calmly. “Hey, Lord Lex!”
Upon hearing the name, cold sweat trickled down Edgar’s forehead. He raised the check higher, his face filled with despair.

Lex said, “Master Alex, is Edgar Shepherd from Pegasus International there with you now?”
With a slight smile, Alex stared at Edgar and said, “Ah, Edgar Shepherd from Pegasus International…”
Color drained from Edgar’s face, his whole body trembled as if he was about to be executed.
Alex calmly replied, “He’s kneeling before me now, begging for forgiveness. But…”
He took the check from Edgar’s hands and shoved it into his pocket. “But I’m fairly acquainted with his son, so I’ll just let them off easy this time.”
Edgar took a deep sigh of relief after hearing Alex’s words. He felt as if he had been entirely drenched in sweat.
Felix had finally understood their situation as well.
The one who called Alex was Lord Lex Gunther, the most powerful man in the underground world of California. He felt as if his reality was being crushed.
He didn’t expect this loser to have any connections with Lord Lex.
Felix feared for his life.
“Ah, well then, that’s great,” Lex said. “I was wondering if you’re free this evening, Master Alex? I… well, I’d like to ask for a favor.”
“Oh? What favor?”
“Remember that demon from last time? The person who put a curse on me is quite a handful. Besides, my goddaughter, Waltz has been hurt by that spirit too. I’d like to ask you to check up on her, Master Alex.”
“Waltz is hurt?” Alex was briefly reminded of Waltz’s beautiful figure in that red dress being pinned down by him. “Okay, I’ll be there. Hell’s Angels, right?”
“Yes, exactly. I’ll have someone pick you up, if you’d like.”
“There’s no need for that, I’ll drive over myself.”
