The Pinnacle of Life

Chapter 518

Similar incidents were happening throughout Rockefeller Manor.
Carol, who was taking a nice bath, decided to come out of the bathtub as soon as the lights went out.
However, she heard light footsteps in the darkness. Then, she felt a stinging pain in the back of her head
and lost consciousness.
Noah and Mariah were knocked out when they were having an intimate moment.
All the maids and caretakers lost consciousness without realizing it as well.
“Why would the power go out?”
“Could someone be… Behind this?” John started panicking. He was genuinely terrified of Alex. This was
why he wanted the operation to go smoothly and kill them off right there and then. If they weren’t able
to succeed, this would potentially expose him as the mastermind. He wouldn’t be able to rest if that
happened.
However, in just seconds, the power came back.
“Maybe the breaker tripped!” Cooper smiled. “Don’t worry, Mr. Rockefeller. It’ll be fine, really. This
operation is sure to succeed! Assassins usually don’t fail in completing their missions. Moreover, we

hired three of them, that’s triple the insurance! Brittany is fairly beautiful after all, so it’s possible that
though the three could have captured her already, they couldn’t hold in their lust and decided to reward
themselves before bringing her over.”
John furrowed his eyebrows upon hearing this. “I wanted to go down on that b*tch Brittany. How could
they use her before me?”
Cooper froze, slightly weirded out.
‘Ah, so Mr. Rockefeller was thinking about doing that.’
“Mr. Rockefeller, it’s not like she’s a young virgin, so it’s no different to be honest! More importantly,
with Brittany held hostage, we would be able to bait Alex into our trap. He won’t be able to get away
that easily this time.”
Just then, a loud crash came from the door.
The traditional wooden door was sent flying. Flipping in mid air, it landed next to John’s feet.
“All!”
“Who is that? Show yourself!”
John and Cooper looked at each other before looking at the door, yet there was no one to be seen. Just
then, an object flew into the room at great speed, colliding into John.
John lost balance and fell to the ground. Upon closer look, it was a person, a corpse!
The corpse’s eyes were wide open, his expression twisted. It was obvious that he had endured extreme
torture before death.
“It’s a corpse!” John yelled as he pushed the corpse off his body.
Cooper took a closer look and felt his heart sink. “He… He’s one of the famous assassins, Tiger.”
John was shocked. “Assassin… The mission failed. We’ve been exposed…”
Cooper immediately said, “Mr. Rockefeller, we have to go now!”
“Go?! Go where? Do you really think you’d escape?” A woman’s voice came from the hallway.
