Seated comfortably in the mayor's home, Alexander wasted no time addressing his concerns directly."Mr. Mayor, I must express my profound disappointment with your management of affairs here in Fairview. As a prominent figure in the political world, you hold considerable power and responsibility, but it seems you have allowed the situation to deteriorate. Citizens are acting with impunity, engaging in criminal activities, and yet no decisive action is being taken. Should this information reach the higher authorities in the capital, it's inevitable that you may lose your seat and potentially face legal consequences."The mayor responded with bitterness, "Sir, the situation is not as straightforward as it appears. I assure you that I am doing my best to prosecute criminals and address the issues at hand. The world we live in is far from being just black and white."Alexander flashed a confident smile, his eyes gleaming with a hint of mischief, though his expression remained veiled behind
The newcomers who had just arrived at the mayor's residence were none other than the helmsmen representing four of the most prominent families in Fairview. Among them were Old Mr. Chen, representing the esteemed Chen family; Mr. Morgan, hailing from the prestigious Morgan family; Mr. Baker, a formidable figure representing the influential Baker family, and Gem Taylor, the noteworthy representative of the Taylor family.Accompanying each of these helmsmen were two imposing bodyguards. With a mere glance, Alexander could discern that these bodyguards were exceptionally formidable, standing at the Peak stage of the Disciple realm. Together, they constituted a force that could pose a significant threat even to early or mid-stage experts in the Warrior realm. However, Alexander's seasoned eyes saw them differently; to him, they were simply insignificant, like mere pieces of trash.As they entered the room, everyone found a seat except for Gem Taylor, as all the seats were already taken. Th
After Alexander concluded his words, he casually walked out of the mayor's house accompanied by Damien, Isabelle, and Arthur. The heads of the top four families who were present were left speechless and bewildered, unable to utter a word until they heard the sound of his vehicle zooming away.Finally breaking the silence, Mr. Baker remarked, "It's evident that the Forbes family is standing with him." Everyone present knew Damien Forbes as the butler of the Forbes family, and him being with young master G right now indicated that the Forbes family had aligned themselves with him and were receiving his support.Mr. Morgan's gaze shifted to Old Mr. Chen, and he made a decision, promptly rising from his seat and making his way outside to his car. Old Mr. Chen followed suit, and then Mr. Baker and the embarrassed Gem also decided to leave.At that moment, the mayor seemed to have lost everyone's attention. Each of them was preoccupied with their own thoughts as they drove back to their res
Alexander, Isabel, and Damien all rode together in the same car, and Damien was the one driving. Arthur, on the other hand, drove his own car and followed them from behind. Their destination was the estate in Fairview where government officials resided, and it was also where Alexander's mother lived.Alexander wasn't worried about potential spies tailing them because, at this point, the top four families were being cautious with him, so they wouldn't do anything foolish. The only one who might behave recklessly was Gem, but Alexander believed he wouldn't do anything at the moment no matter how foolish he was.When they arrived at the estate, Alexander decided to take off his disguise as young master G. He then switched to his black luxurious but simple vehicle, which Arthur had obtained for him. This vehicle was his favorite because it had a low-profile appearance. It was a Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG, also known as E63.Before parting ways, Alexander gave some instructions to Arthur. After
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
