The Pinnacle of Life

Chapter 1369

Alex wasn’t alone, however. Next to him was the ethereal Aunt Rockefeller, wearing a flowy white dress, looking as if she was attending a wedding instead of a funeral.
The Larsens, a family of three, arrived with them. Wayne had surprisingly tagged along as well.
Apart from them, Zachary from the Divine Constabulary was present too.
When he noticed Lord Commander from Department Six, Zachary was shocked. Slightly terrified, he mumbled to himself. “Why is be here?”
Although his voice was soft, Alex could hear what he said.
Alex turned his head and asked, “Mr. Xavier, who are you talking to?”
Zachary took a few glances toward Lord Commander and whispered. “That guy, the one with a beard… That’s Lord Commander of Department Six, the highest commander in their department. I really didn’t expect this powerful man to be here as well.”
Alex looked at the man. “Department Six? What is that?”
Unexpectedly, when Alex turned to look at him, Lord Commander seemed to have sensed his gaze and turned to look at Alex as well. The two pairs of eyes met for a brief moment.

Suddenly, Lord Commander flashed Alex a soft, easy going smile, as if he had just seen a relative. However, this very smile made Zachary, who was standing behind Alex, speechless.
Grace seemed to know what Department Six was as well. Upon hearing their conversation, she was surprised. “He’s Lord Commander? I didn’t expect the Zimmer family to have invited this man right here. If he’s siding with the Zimmers, then the situation must be way different than we had assumed.”
Wayne frowned. “That’s Lord Commander? If the Zimmers are any way related to Lord Commander, then why would they let Easton do such immoral things just for the sake of gaining the power of our family in Alaska?”
***
This was exactly what Quentin was asking as well.
The Lord Commander of Department Six is Grant Xenos, an extremely powerful figure of high status. He worked for the government and had access to every official in the country. Moreover, Department Six was an extremely well hidden department. The Divine Constabulary was nothing compared to it.
If the Divine Constabulary was responsible for taking care of the public, Department Six was responsible for the entire government. Compared to the Divine Constabulary, Department Six was far more mysterious and higher in class too.
Hence, this was why the top official of Department Six was nicknamed Lord Commander.
Quentin knew that he had nothing to do with Lord Commander, nor had they ever met in the past. He had no idea why this man showed up out of nowhere. When they met earlier, he had almost knelt before him despite his title of governor.
His wife, Snow, had to remind him, “Did you forget that your backbone was fairly acquainted with Lord Commander? Now that they’re dead, he probably came over to help you out since you’re still an official. He might even ask you to join his department!”
Quentin slapped his own thigh. “Oh right! Why didn’t I think of that? That must be why.”
Snow smiled scornfully. “Now that the Lord Commander sides with us, why should we still be afraid of the Divine Constabulary? Even the Larsens would have to kneel before him and suck his toes if he wanted them to!”
Quentin’s eyes looked cruel as he nodded.
Snow continued. “The death of our son and daughter will be avenged. They can’t possibly die without any companion. So, Alex Rockefeller and Phoebe Larson must die today! Besides, Rockefeller’s entire family would be captured. I told Flora to do so ages ago. By the time Easton and Viole are buried, their heads would be buried along with them as sacrifices. Now that I think about it, Sister Flora has probably finished the job by now.”
Just as they finished their discussion, the couple noticed that Alex and the others had arrived.
“They have the balls. I’ll give them that! They actually came!”
