A person was bleeding profusely, and Damien's face showed evident panic. However, upon closer inspection, it became clear that the injured individual was not Alexander but rather one of Helen's men. It turned out that Alexander, being a highly skilled martial artist, possessed exceptional speed and reflexes. When Helen attempted to shoot him, he swiftly dodged the attack and switched places with one of her henchmen, leaving Helen bewildered and startled."Wh-what?!" Helen stammered, trying to comprehend the unexpected turn of events.But right at that moment, Alexander's voice emerged from behind her, sending a chill down her spine as he whispered close to her ear, "Surprised? I told you that you couldn't kill me. However, your reckless move just now comes with consequences." In a swift and calculated move, Alexander disarmed Helen, swiftly taking control of the situation and aiming the gun at her.Meanwhile, Captain John and his squad from H Mercenaries, witnessing this tense standof
Taking hold of the knife, Alexander's eyes glimmered with a fierce determination that sent shivers down the spines of those present. He locked eyes with Captain John, his gaze ice-cold, as Captain John returned the stare with a mixture of fear and respect.In the tense moment that followed, Captain John's resolve wavered, and he found himself sinking to one knee, his men following suit. "We, the H Mercenaries, surrender to you," he declared, his voice tinged with defeat, "and acknowledge you as our master."Meanwhile, the rest of the H Mercenaries had assembled near the prison grounds, also kneeling in submission. Their numbers totaled thirty, with twenty remaining at their base while the other ten had accompanied Helen to Fairview.Among the ten, one had tragically lost his life during an attack on Helen and one was her most trusted guard. However, they were no longer her men.Handing the knife back to Isabelle, Alexander's voice took on a stern tone, "I will treat you fairly and wit
Emily was seated at a restaurant, ready to call the waiter for some assistance. As she scanned the room, her eyes fell upon a familiar figure—Alexander. Even with his head bowed, she could still recognize him. Surprised by the unexpected encounter, she stood up and made her way towards him to confirm her suspicion."Wow," Emily exclaimed, clearly taken aback.Her companion, a young man who had accompanied her, noticed her reaction and followed her gaze towards Alexander. He didn't seem pleased with Emily's sudden interest in someone else, so he stood up and possessively wrapped his arm around her waist, even going so far as to inappropriately touch her."What's the matter, babe?" he whispered in Emily's ear, trying to distract her with his advances.His intimate gesture caused Emily to let out a soft moan, which only served to disgust Alexander, who was witnessing their public display of affection.Taking a moment to compose herself, Emily finally spoke, "Do you remember my ex-husband
After the dinner was unexpectedly interrupted, Helen and Alexander decided to take a leisurely walk together. Alexander's mind was filled with various thoughts, and he found solace in clearing his head while strolling.For Helen, the pleasure came from simply being in Alexander's company, whether they engaged in conversation or not. As they walked, a refreshing cool breeze blew, causing Helen's beautiful hair to flow backward, accentuating her striking face. She couldn't help but steal glances at Alexander, playfully stomping her feet in a mix of fondness and frustration.Helen was undeniably a stunning woman who garnered attention from many men, yet despite her efforts, she couldn't seem to capture Alexander's heart, just as humanity's peculiar workings dictated. The more distant he appeared, the stronger her desire grew, and she found herself harboring thoughts of making him feel the longing she experienced.In her heart, she muttered with a tinge of frustration, "Stupid, you're play
Alexander expressed gratitude, "You really believe in me. Well, it will be a shame to let you down, but I cannot marry Sophia."Old Mr. Chen raised an intrigued eyebrow in response.Continuing, Alexander elaborated, "Sophia is a beautiful and kind girl, but my life is filled with complexities that might make her uncomfortable. I have numerous responsibilities and face many adversaries."Old Mr. Chen empathized, understanding the implications, "Regardless of whether you marry her or not, as long as we support you, your enemies might perceive us as their enemies as well.""Exactly," Alexander acknowledged, "But in the worst-case scenario, if she doesn't marry me, you can have a way out if I fail."Taking some time to ponder, Old Mr. Chen made an observation, "If I'm not mistaken, you're likely referring to internal family issues."Alexander's smile widened, appreciating the shrewdness of Old Mr. Chen. Indeed, Alexander's concerns revolved around the dynamics within the Greece family. De
After leaving the Chen family's residence, Alexander drove straight to Xander Entertainment, where he expected to find Monique. It was likely she would be there, as she had been involved in planning the concert organized by the company to propel it forward.Upon arriving, Alexander spotted Monique just as she stepped out of the company building. He immediately exited his car and, in a gentlemanly gesture, opened the door for her. "Let's go for a drive," he suggested.Taking the wheel of his sleek E63, Alexander drove while Monique settled into the passenger's seat. However, she sensed that something was bothering him. Curious and concerned, she asked, "What's wrong, Alex?"Alexander was not surprised by the use of his nickname. However, only his family and those intimately close to him had the privilege of calling him Alex. Addressing her question, he answered "I remember you mentioned Dustin recently," he began.Feeling a pang of guilt, Monique replied, "If I had known it would worry
"Apologies, sir, for the mistake. I assure you it won't occur again," Mr. Duncan humbly apologized, bowing in contrition.Alexander acknowledged his apology with a nod and motioned for him to take a seat, which Mr. Duncan promptly did."To begin with, I understand that our primary focus has been on food delivery. However, in order to expand and thrive in this competitive market, we need to diversify our services. Relying solely on food delivery won't be sufficient," Alexander explained.Mr. Duncan responded, "Indeed, sir. I've been contemplating that myself, which is why we've already begun delivering some raw materials to certain companies."Alexander acknowledged this but expressed his desire for more significant growth. "While that's a good start, the scale is still too limited," he said.Perplexed, Mr. Duncan inquired, "Sir, could you please clarify the kind of items you have in mind for us to deliver?"Alexander responded, "Certainly. Expanding into delivering raw materials is a
He appreciated her concern and smiled gratefully. "I know, Monique. But sometimes, it helps me gather my thoughts," he explained, understanding her intent.Monique nodded, accepting his response. "Well, do you trust me?" she asked.Alexander responded, "I have complete trust in you."To this, Monique replied, "Then go home and relax, I'll gather information about Allen for you."Alexander tried to interject, saying, "But!"However, before he could finish, Monique interrupted, understanding his concerns, "I know what you want to say, but remember, I still have strong ties with the Greece family. I can mobilize people and resources better than you can at the moment. However, my focus is on music, and that's where I channel my efforts."Feeling somewhat resigned, Alexander sighed and said, "Fine." He hailed a taxi and left his E63 for Monique.As Alexander drove away, Monique continued in the car for a while, eventually stopping at a peaceful location. There, seemingly out of nowhere, a
