Just when Alex reaches out his hand intending to help that woman to get up, her boyfriend suddenly pushes Alex harshly. Alex, with the great reflex he has, swiftly pulls the man’s hand after that push. And then he pushes the man back toward his girlfriend. “Kyaa!” The woman screams in shock. “This fucker!” That man grumbles so mad, before turning at Alex and delivering a huge blow. Alex manages to evade it by pulling his head behind. It only makes the man even angrier because of it. The man keeps coming with a series of huge swings. But none of them can reach his target as Alex already can estimate the man’s reach. Not to mention they are huge swings by a man who has lost his calm. They are just telegraph punches which are so easy to read by Alex. After finding the best moment between the man’s huge swings, Alex steps forward and pushes the man to the wall. “Get a hold of yourself, kid!” Alex scolds, treating the man like a teenager. “I don’t give a damn about your girl! Are yo
But Alex just stays sitting on the chair, nonchalantly leaning his back to the bar table behind him.“Why should I?” he taunts those two cops.“We just received a report about an act of violence that just happened to Mr. Dustin Immanuel. I hope you are willing to come with us to the office.”“No!” Alex denies flatly.“Excuse me?!”“I don’t want to waste my time talking about something useless with you guys,” Alex continues.“Pardon me, Sir! But, it’s better for you to cooperate with us. The act of violence you committed may not be that serious. But if you also complicate our task, perhaps it will only complicate your situation,” explains the cop, politely trying to persuade Alex to come with them.Alex sighs once and then gets up. He begins treating the cop seriously by standing so close right before his face.“Look! I deny you for your own good, so that I won’t complicate this issue for you. Taking me to your office means that I’d waste about 20 minutes to get there, and then waste a
It sounds like someone is trying to tell a fabricated story to show off. But right now, he sees Alex is not someone who is bluffing. He finds his face looks a bit gloomy, like someone who is really reminiscing about the dark past he has.“So, you already knew how to fight since you were a kid?” utters Boris rhetorically. “I always thought that you learned everything from Morgan Davis.”Alex then takes out one of his karambits, and continues reminiscing for a few more moments before telling his story.“My dad already taught me silat even before that incident. Not the one you often see on youtube, but the ancient one. This one is not for self defense, but to kill with this tiny weapon. But still, they were too much for a kid to handle.”“Hold on!” Boris halts for a moment. “If you got the chance to fight back, doesn’t that mean you saw their faces? With your strong photographic memory, couldn't you recognize them if you happen to see them somewhere?”Alex nods in affirmation. “I could e
Alex then turns his face to Melissa, and expresses his gratitude before taking his leave. “Mrs. Gaines, thank you for kicking me out of this mess. I wish you good luck!” But Detective Barnes halts him. “It doesn’t mean you can just leave! We discovered suspected narcotics trafficking, which we believe was going on even before Harry Gaines' death. And you were the CEO in charge at the time.” “Narcotics trafficking?” mumbles Alex while pondering. “Well, I'm sure you didn't come with a warrant for my arrest, but only to conduct a search and investigation at this company. If you do find something that would incriminate me as a suspect, you know where to find me.” “At least, I want you to stay in town while this investigation continues,” Detective Barnes issues. “You should have done something better than just get a search warrant. But, it’s not like I’m going to run away from you,” replies Alex as he walks away. “I know I’m innocent.” Indeed, from the start Detective Barnes wanted to
There is no way a response like that wouldn't make Nelson sad, because he has absolutely no intention of demeaning Alex. In fact, far from that, he really respects Alex, and hopes to learn a lot from him.Regardless, after how his mother treated Alex, he can’t blame Alex for his response. However…“Mr. Davis, please! I have absolutely no bad intentions. There’s no way I have any courage to look down on you. This is all just a misunderstanding from my clueless mother. I've been trying to clear this misunderstanding with her since the cemetery, but...”Alex suddenly cuts off the phone, not giving Nelson a chance to finish his words. In fact, with Nelson bringing back the humiliation that Alex received in the cemetery, only makes Alex even more annoyed.At the moment, he is heading to the kindergarten which his daughter attends. But it’s still so early in the morning, and of course, it’s not the time for Elly to leave the kindergarten yet.He just parks his car straight in front of a cof
But that man mistakes Alex’s reaction as someone who is confused. Hence he takes out his phone, and shows it to Alex the Y0uTube channel he is talking about.And indeed, that one video shows a bit of Alex while attending court when he filed a lawsuit against the two amateur police officers. Not just that, there are other contents discussing all Alex’s accomplishments as a businessman.And indeed, that’s also one of the reasons so many people like him. The narrator in those videos really excels at carrying the story and drawing Alex like an almost legendary sounding figure.Alex himself is a bit shocked at how this channel knows so much about him. However, those contents never show the speaker's face at all. There’s only a narrative covered by a woman, whose voice is very familiar to him.“Look at all those comments! Everyone really adores you, Sir!” says the man.But Alex doesn’t care about the comments from netizens. His main interest is the name of the Y0uTube channel, which mention
Alex’s house is still in chaos right now. Just a night isn’t enough to fix everything.The bed which has been torn by sharp objects has not been replaced with a new one yet. At least, that old man Elijah has covered that painted message on the wall inside Alex’s bedroom, the one which mentioned Alex’s old nickname in it.It’s Alex’s primary request for the old man to hide it immediately before more people know about it. As he is busy painting that warning message with a brush, someone enters the room.“Sir! We’ve finished fixing the things you asked us.”“That’s quick. What about the window?” asks the old man.“We’ve fixed that one too. The damage is not that heavy.”Elijah puts down the paint brush, and then walks out of the room intending to check on those people’s work.“Need us to paint the wall for you too?” asks the man offering his service.“It’s not that much. I can do it myself,” replies Elijah.“Anyway, who created all this chaos? A thief?” asks the man.“There’s no way a th
After waiting for half an hour, Alex appears with his Mercedes S600 Guard. Nelson immediately gets out of the car and approaches Alex. Melvin and that fat Ronnie are getting more intense in observing them.Realizing his coming, Alex immediately puts on his tired face. He knows it is impossible to keep avoiding him.“What the fuck are you doing here?” Alex welcomes him harshly. “Want me to take you to your dad’s rotten ass?”That one really hurts Nelson’s feelings, not to mention that his dad has just died only recently. But he tries to endure it, knowing it is him to blame in this situation.“Alex, please!”“What did you call me?”“Uh, I mean, Mr. Davis! Sorry, I didn’t mean to be rude, and I know my mom shouldn’t treat you that way. But…”“I get why you have such bad manners as a kid,” Alex cuts Nelson’s words. “Hitting you in the face just once won’t be enough when you have that kind of mother at home.”“I know,” replies Nelson with a weak voice. “You have opened my eyes already. I’
