The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 567
“It all started when your father recovered a sunken ship.”
“He got his hands on an object in the ancient shipwreck, the Holy Book.”
“It was actually a turtle shell. However, mysterious symbols and ancient scripts were inscribed on the
turtle
shell.
It was understood to be some kind of secret manual for ancient, mystical martial arts, or even the true
doctrine of cultivation techniques.” When Frank said this, he stole a glimpse at Alex and continued, “I
did not believe it at first but the truth is
nowid bare in front of my eyes. You must have received the secret manual of the martial arts from
the Holy
Book!”
Alex refused to make anyment, but deep down, he was extremely shocked. The Holy Book?
He had never heard of this object. His mother, Brittany, did not mention it to him, not even once. “What
does it have to do with Gokudo Soshiki then?” Alex asked. “Unfortunately, a few parties inadvertently
got wind of your father’s discovery of the Holy Book, one of them
being Japan’s Gokudo Soshiki… The people from Gokudo Soshiki are hellbent on obtaining the Holy
Book

for their own use.
Also, our Valtameri Co. is actually backed by their people.”
“What kind of organization is Gokudo Soshiki?” Alex asked.
There was no need for Frank to hold things back since he started telling the truth. He instantly said,
“From
what I heard, they are Japan’s oldest and most powerful ninja school, they are even more ancient than
what is
known by the public!
Are you familiar with the Mitsuboshi n in Japan? To tell the truth, Gokudo Soshiki
is the actual force behind them as well.” Alex was genuinely shocked to hear Frank’s exnation.
Frank shook his head and continued, “A person’s talent will arouse the envy of others, I presume you
understand its principle. Of course, your father understood that as well. However, tragedy struck in the
end
because he refused to part ways with the Holy Book!
There is one thing I must tell you, do you think that
Anthony was the one who caused the tragedy that befell your parents?” Alex’s heart jolted. “Could it be
that he’s not the one?” Frank said, “Perhaps at first nce! However, there are too many unanswerable
questions in it after meeting
Anthonyter. Don’t think that I am trying to defend myself, I don’t need it. I am prepared to die today
but
please, leave my daughter alone.”
“Go ahead, I will decide upon the truth.”
“Okay, I’ll tell you then. In fact, Gokudo Soshiki is not the only one pining for the Holy Book, there is
another mysterious force on its trail, whose identity I do not know. I did hear from Pepper Kimmich that
they
got hold of the Holy Book in the end.” What Frank said coincided with what Brittany mentioned
previously.
Yet, she refused to reveal their identities no matter what, much to Alex’s chagrin. “Therefore, you can
guess who killed your father ultimately. Anthony once told me that he had already fainted
and his consciousness was vague before the ident. He had no idea what had happened at all after
the crash.”
Riddled in confusion, Alex knocked his head in frustration. At least he found a lead now, the Holy Book.
It
piqued his curiosity.
What exactly was that thing?
A little whileter, he asked again, “Why is Gokudo Soshiki still going after me when the Holy Book has
been
snatched away by someone else?” Frank replied, “Why, it is because you have obtained the secret
manual of the Holy Book! The mysterious
forces may have seized the turtle shell, but your father had been working on deciphering the contents
for a
long time. With that, the people from Gokudo Soshiki suspect that your father had cracked the contents
on the
shell, so they keep watching you!
Behind the scenes, Pepper Kimmich and John Rockefeller manipted the
public and forced you into a desperate situation. In fact, they just wanted to see if you would behave
abnormally… It seems that Pepper Kimmich was right, your father had cracked the contents and
imparted its
knowledge onto you.” Alex snickered.
He did not know of a Holy Book but he was toozy to exin. Eventually, William Rockefeller was
used of treason by colluding with the enemies and had his entire
assets seized before he was expelled by the Rockefeller family. To his surprise, it was Pepper’s plot all
along. The killing of Anthony was most likely ordered by her behind the scenes as well. “Onest
question, where are my father’s actual ashes?”
“Actual ashes?
Are you saying that it can be faked?” Frank was surprised. “Don’t you know about it?” Alex stared
straight into his eyes to determine if he was lying by using his Third
Eye. Under regr circumstances, the Third Eye was capable of detecting abnormalities when a
person lied.
However, some people were very capable and might be able to fool the Third Eye. It was ahnost like a
polygraph. Polygraphs might make mistakes sometimes.
Anyway, Frank did not seem like he was bluffing at the moment.
