The Pinnacle Of Life

Smack! Smack!

Alex did not go easy on Felix, and landed three heavy lashes on his back.

Three lash wounds immediately surfaced on Felix’s back, and blood began seeping out from some of the wounds.

Then, Alex threw the sprig away and said, “Get up, remember what you said today.”

Words of gratitude came out of Felix’s mouth as he got up on his feet. He even took out a little gift box and handed it to Alex. “Mr. Rockefeller, thank you so much for the three lashes. I will always remember your teachings. Here’s a little gift for you as a token of appreciation! Mr. Rockefeller, sorry for the bother and I’ll be leaving! May you both live a long and happy life together.”

After handing over the gift box to Alex, he turned around and left.

Looking at Felix’s disappearing silhouette, Alex secretly thought, “He is a smart guy after all! Well, good for him, I will leave the Shepherds alone for now.”

Felix was nowhere to be seen but Claire and Beatrice were still in a state of confusion. Even Dorothy could not help but ask, “What’s with that guy, Alex? I do not understand.”
