The Pinnacle of Life novel Chapter 1653

“Ahh!”

“What is this?!”

Anna and Captain Gillett had arrived together because Captain Gillett had been the one in charge of the case. Now that the case had been solved, he would naturally come along.

When he saw the ghost child Carol Rockefeller had borne on the ground, he yelled out in fright and almost fell to the ground on his butt. The ghost child was too scary, and not just because of his facial appearance. His body had been cut in half by Alex, and although the ghost child had reconnected the rotten meat that was his body, there was still a big hole.

It didn’t look human at all.

By this time, Dorothy had already left.

“This is what you’ve been looking for,” Alex said. “Don’t think that he’s human just because he looks like one. It’s… A monster!”

Anna covered her mouth. “This thing is hideous. It doesn’t fit the image of a demon in my mind at all. Master, do you want to report this matter? For such a hideous demon like this to exist in this country, it’s outrageous!”

“You can report it,” Alex said.

The higher-ups of the country, especially the one standing at the highest of them all, definitely knew of the existence of demons well. They should be more aware of it than anyone else, so it shouldn’t matter if this matter was reported.

After leaving the matter in Anna’s hands, Alex left the mountain village. He rushed to California’s Premier Hospital.

Charles’s blood essence was in his hands.

“Uncle!”

When Alex walked in, he was met with the daughter of Charles and Hailey, Zoey Carter.

Hailey was also nearby.

“Brother Alex, how did it go? Do you have any news?” Charles sat up with a nervous smile on his face. In just a day, evidence of his aging had already shown on his face. After his blood essence was stolen, he hadn’t looked so bad on the first day. But now, on just the second day, his appearance had already changed so much.

“My father…” When Charles heard this, regret coursed through him.

He hit his head with his hands, crying bitterly, “I shouldn’t have done this! Never! I am reaping what I sowed, d*mn it! If I knew that this would happen, I wouldn’t have agreed to go to that cocktail party. That old goat! It’s because of him I turned out like this!”

How was he supposed to go out and meet people after he looked as old as his father?!

Alex sighed. This was the limit of what he could do. Others who had encountered something like Charles hadn’t been so lucky.

The older man in their group had already died. The others were all in the hospital, and although Alex had gotten all the blood essence back from the fox half-demon, it wasn’t like he planned to rush back to return it to them. It wasn’t that Alex wanted to just stand at the side and not save them, but to return blood essence that had been drawn out into their body was not an easy task.

Alex would have to use up a lot of energy to do it.

He wasn’t in the mood to waste too much energy on those guys who fooled around with women. Alex was going to do it for Charles because of their friendship… And this friendship of theirs was because of Hailey. If it was just based on Charles alone, it wouldn’t have been enough.
