"Stay here," Alex instructed the children firmly, rushing into the house without hesitation.

Inside, two men stood menacingly: one aimed a gun directly at Josephine, while the other struggled to rise from the floor—a clear sign that Josephine had already put up a fight.

An elderly woman sat silently in her wheelchair, her eyes filled with both fear and defiance.

"Drop that stick," the gunman barked at Josephine.

"This time, I won't miss. I'll shoot you!"

Josephine stood her ground in front of the old woman, her arm bleeding from a grazed bullet wound.

"We're not selling the land," she declared fiercely. "Go back and tell your boss he can go straight to hell!"

The man fired a warning shot at the floor near her feet, causing splinters to fly.

"Looks like you don't understand who you're dealing with," he sneered.

The other man, clutching his injured leg, glared at her as he staggered upright.

"You little bitch," he hissed.

"You dare to fight back? Take off your clothes. Sign the papers t

    Alex walked fearlessly toward the group of gangsters, each armed with knives, machetes, katanas, and handguns—all poised to confront him."How dare you attack our men? You'll die here!" snarled a man with a tattooed face, stepping forward to challenge Alex.Without breaking stride, Alex delivered a swift slap across the man's face, sending him sprawling to the ground, unconscious.A hundred gang members tightened their grips on their weapons, eyes narrowing as they watched him.But none moved to attack. Something about him was off—different.Anyone else facing such a formidable crowd, surrounded by menacing killers wielding an arsenal of weapons, would show at least a flicker of fear.But Alex's eyes held none.He strolled forward as if he were merely walking through a quiet park.The casual ease with which he'd dispatched one of their own left them stunned.They were used to bullying the weak, flaunting their power.But this impenetrable man left them at a loss.They had never encoun

    There were ten stacks of crisp $100 bills neatly arranged inside the bag—$100,000 in total.Josephine stared at the money, her eyes wide with shock."Well, that's quite a sum," Alex remarked casually. "Looks like they regretted their actions."Josephine snapped the bag shut and thrust it back toward him."We can't accept this."Alex raised an eyebrow. "And why not?""Because it's dirty money!" she exclaimed."They earned it by selling drugs, extorting innocent people, forcing others out of their homes. Who knows what other terrible things they've done? I won't have any part of it."Alex studied her resolute expression.Despite her obvious need, her principles remained unshaken. "Maybe we should ask the old lady inside. She might have some advice."Inside the modest house, Ruth, the elderly woman in the wheelchair, eyed the money spread out on the table."I'm sorry, Alex," she said softly. "We can't accept this kind of money.""Why not?" Alex frowned. "Money itself isn't evil. Politici

    Brock was furious when he discovered that Josephine had the audacity to resign.Seething with anger, he burst into his modest home, the door slamming behind him like a thunderclap."Grace!" he shouted at his wife, who was quietly folding laundry in the living room. "Tomorrow, you're opening the restaurant!"Grace looked up, startled by his outburst. "What happened with Josephine?""She quit! Don't ask any more questions!" he snapped, pacing the room like a caged animal.Grace's face paled."But... I don't know how to cook.""Just do it like you always have!" Brock barked."Brock," she pleaded, her eyes welling up. "I really don't know how to run the restaurant. Can't you find someone else?""Don't argue with me!" he shouted, shoving her aside.Grace stumbled, catching herself against the wall."When I tell you to do something, you do it!"The next morning, Grace stood alone behind the counter of the bustling restaurant, her hands trembling as she struggled to keep up with orders.Broc

    "You know what, you're right—I do belong here," Alex said, locking eyes with Florence. "Anything else you need?"Florence's lips twisted into a sneer. "In case that thick skull of yours hasn't figured it out, I'm insulting you, you worthless drifter."“It's a free country, ma'am. You're welcome to say whatever you like.” Alex shrugged lightly. “Doesn't mean I have to take offense.""You pitiful excuse for a man," she spat. "Do you really think ignoring me keeps your dignity intact?"“In my view, you’re poorer than I am. Why should I feel insulted by someone who’s not worth my time?”“You’re shameless,” Florence hissed. “I wish you’d just disappear!”His smile turned icy. “And I wish you a long life—to savor your bitterness even longer.”Florence’s face flushed crimson.Rising abruptly, she called out across the restaurant, “Owner! Is this how you let your staff treat paying customers? This man is insulting me!"From the kitchen, Josephine slammed down a pan and marched over, her eyes

    A few days later, Alex and Sophia arrived at the grand banquet hosted by the Lancaster family.The opulent hall was abuzz with anticipation.Amelia Lancaster had organized the event to announce the acquisition of BioHealth Solutions from Roland and to unveil its rebranding under the Lancaster Group.And their partnership with Kingston would send ripples through Vancouver's business community, marking the Lancasters' bold expansion into something greater.Whispers filled the room about Jasmine Kingston's attendance."Why do we have to be here?" Sophia sighed, glancing at her father, Justin.He adjusted his tie, his expression firm. "This is our family's banquet, Sophia. We need to show face.""But they've already pushed us out," she protested softly."Regardless, we must attend," Justin insisted."Our livelihood depends on the Lancaster Group's shares. Imagine what would happen if your grandmother decided to cut us off entirely."Nearby, Florence cast a disdainful look at Alex. "You sh

    "I don't know," the accountant muttered. "Give me a moment to figure this out."Peter turned to Alex, confusion and a flicker of fear in his eyes.Could Alex truly be behind this catastrophe, or was it merely a terrible coincidence?Before he could dwell on it, his phone buzzed urgently. He snatched it up."Father?""You bastard!" his father's furious voice exploded through the line."What have you done? Our family's assets are frozen, and we're under investigation! Do you realize the magnitude of this disaster? If you don't fix this immediately, we're finished!""Wait, Father! Please, tell me what's happening," Peter pleaded, panic tightening his chest."Who the hell did you offend? Alfred kingston's got our assets frozen and says he’s launching an investigation into all our businesses and accounts. Do you think we can withstand that kind of scrutiny? They’ll dig up everything, and we’ll all end up in prison!" his father’s voice boomed with desperation.A softer, trembling voice came

    Sophia stood at the centre of the banquet hall, her eyes fixed on Alex, who lingered unobtrusively in the corner.Words caught in her throat as confusion and disbelief swirled within her.How had Alex managed to make Peter Smith, of all people, tremble with fear?Even the powerful Lancaster family couldn't command such a reaction from him.Watching Peter's desperate pleas, she was certain Alex must have tricked him somehow—probably with his usual swagger and exaggerated tales.He was, after all, the king of braggarts.At least she hadn't been gullible enough to fall for his antics like poor Peter had."Peter, please stand up. People are watching," Sophia urged softly, a flush of embarrassment creeping up her neck.Peter remained kneeling, his head bowed low."Miss Sophia, I beg you—promise me you'll help secure Mr. Alex's forgiveness. Only then will I rise.""Fine, fine," she relented, hoping to end the spectacle. "Just get up."Nearby, Malvin, Mike, Amelia, and other members of the L

    Sophia sat across from Alex on a cozy sofa in the café, her fingers nervously entwined in her lap."Alex," she began softly. "I want to apologize for everything I've done to you."Alex looked at her with gentle curiosity. "Why?"She took a deep breath. "I've realized that so much of my pain comes from clinging to how I think things should be, instead of accepting what they are. I regret not listening to my grandfather."He offered a reassuring smile. "It's okay."Gathering her courage, she confessed, "I... I don't have our signed divorce papers.""What do you mean?"She bit her lip, hesitating before continuing."When I was planning to marry Chris, he said he'd handle the divorce papers and the marriage certificate. I thought after everything that happened, he wouldn’t send them. But I never received any confirmation."Alex remained silent."That means we're still husband and wife," Sophia whispered, her cheeks flushing.He leaned forward slightly. "And if he already sent them?"She s

    For the first time in her life, Sophia felt a weight in her chest she couldn’t quite name.She stood there, rooted to the spot, staring at a woman who had been born into wealth—someone who’d likely never experienced a single day of real hardship.And that woman was standing by Sophia’s ex-husband’s side.It hit her like a slow, aching punch.The man who had once been hers now belonged to someone else.She didn’t think she loved Alex anymore—did she?—yet watching him move on so quickly still stung, a harsh reminder of just how easily she’d been cast aside.Sophia tried to steady herself, but her eyes slid toward the woman beside him.Jasmine.The sight of her sparked an awkward, throbbing ache in Sophia’s chest.It wasn’t exactly jealousy, but it was close. She caught the assessing look in Jasmine’s gaze—a flicker of cool curiosity that made Sophia feel dissected.Then Jasmine’s posture shifted, her shoulders squaring, as if silently declaring her territory.“Alex, who is this woman?”

    Suddenly, there was only silence in the car.The four black vans had already driven away in a hurry, leaving their friends' bodies sprawled on the asphalt.The surrounding cars, whose drivers had witnessed the scene, stayed far away, unwilling to get involved."Hey, driver," Alex called out. "Don’t you think it’s time to move out? What are you waiting for?"The driver, who had been enjoying the music accompanying his journey to the afterlife, slowly opened his eyes and glanced around.A jolt of shock ran through him. The obstruction that had once blocked his path was gone."Yes, yes, Sir."He hastily pushed the pedal, and as the car started moving, it bumped slightly—rolling over the bodies on the road.Jasmine stared out of the window, her eyes lost in the blue sky and the rows of passing houses."Don’t you want to ask who they were?" Alex asked, breaking the heavy silence."Not really," Jasmine replied, her voice soft but dismissive."They’re like cockroaches—keep coming after me. H

    Four black vans thundered onto the street like a posse riding in at high noon.They skidded to a stop, pinning Jasmine’s limousine from the front and rear.About twenty men poured out, each one armed to the teeth and hiding behind masks. Their leader—burly, tatted up, and mean as a rattlesnake—stepped right up to the window, pounding on the glass with his fist. “Both of you get out, or we’ll blow this tin can to pieces!” he snarled. Inside the limo, Jasmine’s face went pale. The driver looked just as rattled. “Driver,” came Alex’s calm voice. “Y-yes?” the driver stammered, too stunned to keep his voice steady. “I hear this car’s sound system can rattle bones. Mind turnin’ it up to full blast?” Alex leaned back, eyes half-lidded like he hadn’t a care in the world. The driver blinked. “What?” ‘Is this fella crazy?’ he thought. ‘Bullets are spraying outside, and he wants music?’“Classical, if you’ve got it,” Alex added, letting his eyes fall closed. Jasmine watched him, her own

    Alex rose to his feet, concern flickering in his gaze.“All right, I’ll take my leave now. Elizabeth, you need rest.”Jasmine stood up as well. “I’ll see you out,” she said, then turned to the old woman. “Nana, please don’t worry about Charles. You should rest, too.”Elizabeth closed her eyes, heaving a tired sigh.“You’re right, child. It’s not like I don’t know his temper after all these years. Maybe it’s my fault for spoiling him too much.”Meanwhile, in another hospital room down the hallway, a similar scene was unraveling—albeit with far more chaos.Jack, every inch of him in bandages, lay moaning on his hospital bed.Thick plaster casts wrapped around both legs, and his head was swathed so tightly that only his nose and mouth showed.His eyes burned with anger.“Mom! I can’t believe Alex actually hit me. You have to teach that bastard a lesson he’ll never forget!” he whined, nearly spitting with rage.Florence smoothed her hand over Jack’s blanket as if to soothe him. “Don’t wo

    The room fell into stunned silence after witnessing Elizabeth’s miraculous revival.Alex reached into his coat pocket and retrieved a small, unremarkable pill, placing it gently between Elizabeth’s lips.With practiced care, he helped her swallow.Charles looked like a man who had just watched his entire world crumble.He had orchestrated every possible detail to hasten his grandmother’s demise and claim the inheritance his father had long denied him.Yet here was Alex, undoing all of his schemes in an instant.In a surge of desperation, Charles leveled a furious glare at Dr. Yorick.Frightened, the doctor realized that if he failed to act, his life would be forfeit.Slowly, Yorick forced himself upright, eyes alight with rage. He snatched a surgical knife from the nearby tray and charged at Alex.“Die, you devil!” Yorick shrieked, his face contorted in rage.“You’ve made a deal with the devil to raise the dead—no human could do what you just did!”A wave of shocked gasps swept throug

    Elizabeth’s body jerked in a series of violent convulsions, her face turning a dusky blue as though the very breath of life were slipping away.Agony etched itself across her features, and her ragged scream ripped through the air, sending nurses and doctors scrambling to respond.Alarms blared from both sides of her bed, the machines’ frantic beeping echoing off the stark white walls, amplifying the sense of impending disaster.“What on earth is happening?” Dr. Yorick’s complexion went pale, his eyes brimming with shock.Jasmine’s expression hardened. “Explain this, Dr. Yorick!” she demanded, her voice laced with desperation.“That can’t be right… She was stable just a few hours ago,” he muttered, unease creeping into his tone.“Doctor, her heartbeat’s crashing!” a nurse shouted, voice high with urgency.“Get the defibrillator—now!” the head doctor barked.The medical team mobilized, hands flying as they fought to stabilize Elizabeth.But no matter what they did, the numbers on the mo

    She shook her head, took a slow breath. “No. It’s done. I won’t waste more time on him.”“But—”“That’s enough,” she said, cutting him off. “We need to focus on what really matters—I don’t want any trouble that could make Jasmine back out. He is too close to Kingston right now.”Reluctantly, Marco nodded.Meanwhile, Alex arrived at Vancouver’s premier hospital.Jasmine led him down a corridor into a VVIP suite, where an elderly woman—Elizabeth Kingston, Jasmine’s grandmother—lay pale and frail in a bed.Her skin looked paper-thin, her lips were cracked, and her breathing was shallow. Several doctors stood nearby, looking grim.“Jasmine, where have you been?” a man’s voice demanded.Charles, Jasmine’s older brother, glared as soon as she walked in. “Grandma could be breathing her last, and you’re off who-knows-where?”“Are you saying Grandma can’t be saved anymore, just because you believe there’s no hope?” Jasmine snapped back.“I’m just telling the truth,” Charles retorted. “She’s in

    “All he knows is violence, that filthy bastard!”Sophia paused, caught off guard. Alex was usually calm and controlled, but maybe her mother was right—maybe he was jealous now that Marco was around.So he really does love me, she thought, feeling her cheeks grow warm.“Why are you just standing there?” Florence snapped. “Aren’t you going to do something?”Right then, several security guards appeared, seizing Florence and Jack with hostile expressions.“Wait!” Marco stepped forward and held out a hand. “What do you think you’re doing?”“They insulted Miss Jasmine Kingston’s guests—accused them of being thieves—and deserve to be punished,” one guard spat.“Hold on.” Marco discreetly pressed some cash into the head guard’s hand.“I know Jasmine Kingston personally. I’ll make sure she hears how well you handled this. I’m sure she’ll let the insult slide. All right?”The head guard eyed the money—equal to a couple of months’ salary—and broke into a smile.“If you say so, sir. Just keep tho

    Alex drew in a deep breath, suppressing his energy until he matched the guards at roughly level twenty.In a split second, he swung a fast punch at the nearest guard.The man’s face caved in under the blow—his nose broke, blood splattered, and two teeth flew out.Everyone froze. They had never expected Alex to retaliate so fiercely, this quickly.The “chicken” they had planned to hunt had suddenly turned into a tiger.Jack’s face went pale. “He’s only an ex-military grunt. You’re elite soldiers—go get him!” he yelled at the other guards.The remaining guards glanced uneasily at one another before closing in.Yet Alex moved with unbelievable speed.He delivered a swift kick to each man’s face, sending them reeling.Every guard seemed to move in slow motion while Alex alone looked like he was fighting in fast-forward.Before Jack realized what was happening, all of Marco’s guards were lying on the ground, groaning in pain.“You!” Jack stumbled backward, pointing at Alex.“You stole my s
