The Pinnacle of Life novel Chapter 1685

“What? Your disciple? When did you get a disciple, Jade Benmore? I remember back when Master Doran’s son wanted to become your disciple, you said you’d never accept one for as long as you live,” Colton Lawrence said with a look of disbelief on his face.

“I said that before, but it was only because he wasn’t good enough. But this guy is the one I’ve set my eyes on, and that’s why I broke my rule. What’s the matter? Do I need your approval to accept a disciple, Lieutenant Lawrence? Since he can kill your son, that already means he’s better than your son, isn’t he?” Jade Benmore said blandly.

Alex Rockefeller felt very aggrieved.

He wished he could tell Colton that Jade and Nora Stewart were behind this and that he didn’t kill Maxwell Lawrence. Instead, Yuno was the one who had killed him. If Colton had what it took, he could look for Yuno himself.

However, Alex couldn’t say this. If he did, he’d really be dead.

Hence, he had no choice but to take the blame.

Colton was furious. “Jade, what is the meaning of this? My son died for nothing. Are you going to protect him all the way just because he’s your disciple?”

“Come here, Nora!” Jade waved her hand at Nora nearby. “Tell him why Maxwell died,” Jade said.

Nora began lying through her teeth. “They engaged in a duel over Luna Flores on the spot. In the end… Maxwell underestimated his foe and was killed with a single blow,” she fibbed.

Alex looked at Nora. ‘Go on, keep making up the story!’ he thought.

The story was so good that Alex nearly behaved in it.

However, Colton wouldn’t buy any of it. “I doubt he could kill my son. What’s his level of cultivation, and what’s my son’s level of cultivation?”

It was because Alex had exposed his level of cultivation as Beginner-Core Formation earlier. Logically, Alex was indeed incapable of killing Maxwell, who was at the Advance-Nascent Soul rank.

“He is my disciple. Can’t I have given him a life-saving talisman? At the end of the day, Colton, your son was killed in a duel. You can’t blame anyone!” Jade said.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Countless objects exploded around him. None of the windows, doors, and walls were spared. In the end, Colton even stomped heavily on the ground.

The single stomp contained all the murderous intent and rage in him as an Advanced-Spirit Severing expert. Colton charged into the sky, but the building took the brunt of the damage!

All the walls in the building started to make a creaking sound. After that, a loud explosion could be heard!

Boom!!!

The remaining staircase frame couldn’t withstand the pressure any longer, gradually collapsing under its own weight!
