The Pinnacle of Life

Chapter 167

“They are leaving early!”
Alex’s eyes flashed as stood up and wanted to go after them instinctively.
However, he was pulled back by Michelle. “Where are you going? The auction items will be delivered soon, I want you to check them out with me.”
“Can’t you do it yourself?”
“I am not a connoisseur of medicinal herbs. Plus, those old guys who put up the items for auction this time are sly as a fox. Who knows if they decide to cheat us with a fake imitation. These herbs are needed to save my grandfather, so I have to be extra careful.”
Alex thought for a while and then nodded .
With a Japanese fighter accompanying Pepper, he was unsure if he could capture her easily. Plus, Waltz already had surveillance set up on Pepper, he could always do it in the future.
As it turned out, Michelle worried too much. After all, that was an extravagant hotel owned by the Yowells. Who would dare to cheat Michelle, who bidded those medicinal herbs at high price?
Half an hour later, the two of them left Splendor Center together with their auctioned items.

“Alex, why don’t you give me a ride home?” Michelle requested.
After all, she arrived at Splendor Center from California State University by someone else’s car as her magnificent Rolls-Royce on the other day was totalled. Moreover, there were so many invaluable items, which were worth several hundred million dollars, in her hands now, so she really needed a ride.
“Sure.” Alex agreed as he was not an unreasonable person.
At this moment, Michelle’s attitude toward him had improved and it did not feel uncomfortable to get along with him.
He revved his M8 and headed for Yowell Manor.
However, they did not realize that they were being watched at the entrance of the hotel. Immediately after they left, a black Honda followed right behind them. While maneuvering the steering wheel and tracking them, the man spoke into his headset, “Target acquired. This is Nine, I am now headed for Sunrise Boulevard, going eastward.”
A woman replied, “Do not lose them.”
It was Pepper Kimmich’s voice.
“Miss Kimmich, the target is not alone. Other than Alex Rockefeller, the abandoned son of the Rockefellers, Michelle Yowell, the heiress of the Yowell family is with him too.”
“Hmph, consider her unlucky then, what else can we do? Stick to the plan, get it done clean and neat. I do not want any survivors.”
“Roger that!”
Seated in the M8, Michelle could not but ask Alex, “Is it true that I will not live past this year?”
Alex nodded with a hum.
“I still do not believe it, you must be pulling my leg.” Michelle snorted.
Alex did not answer as he looked into the rearview mirror.
