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
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
The onslaught of attacks was directed at Alexander, but rather peculiarly, it appeared as though they merely struck an invisible barrier before vanishing into thin air. This unexpected turn of events washed over Isabelle with a profound sense of relief, momentarily alleviating her apprehensions. However, her newfound comfort was abruptly replaced by a more profound sense of concern as she observed Alexander, who remained motionless, with his eyes firmly shut in an unsettling manner."Young Master!" Isabelle cried out once more, her voice trembling with anxiety, but there was still no sign of response from him.Notifying Lord Pluto and the rest of the group, she swiftly attempted to rush to Alexander's aid. However, an insurmountable obstacle barred her path, a formidable and turbulent force akin to an unyielding gale, effectively halting her advance.In a synchronized effort, both Captain Tiger and Captain Skeleton also endeavored to reach Alexander's side, but they, too, found the
Alexander wore a confident smile as he responded, "In the event of a clash between our forces, the outcome would undoubtedly be in our favor. While it's true that both of our factions possess great strength, the critical distinction lies in my approach. I don't merely seek personal power; I am dedicated to empowering my people. Behind me stand formidable martial artists and skilled weapon users, all contributing to our collective might."Captain Tiger guffawed heartily in response, "Our troops, in essence, serve as expendable pawns and sacrificial lambs – or, to put it bluntly, they're our meatshields. As leaders, it's our duty for our people to be willing to lay down their lives for us. The caveat is that we rely on their sacrifices to keep our operations afloat. Yet, as long as Captain Skeleton and I maintain our personal strength, it's sufficient to strike fear into our adversaries. This, in turn, ensures that our men don't meet their end quite so easily."With a sarcastic clap, Al
Alexander observed as Lord Pluto and his companions rose from the ground. Approaching them, he inquired, "Do you find yourselves persuaded?"Lord Pluto responded with a nod, lowering his head in acknowledgment. "Completely convinced," he affirmed.Terry and Townsend also signaled their agreement with affirmative nods. Isabelle, on the other hand, didn't need to express her belief; she had unwaveringly trusted Alexander from the beginning.Having settled the matter, Alexander addressed Isabelle with determination, saying, "There's no time for extensive preparations. Gather our people; we must march to battle immediately. Today, we shall seize control of Rhode Island."Isabelle responded with a nod, her smile reflecting her readiness, and she swiftly dispatched Terry and Townsend to carry out the orders.Alexander then turned to Lord Pluto, acknowledging the urgency, and said, "I'm certain your people are already preparing. Instead of coming here, they should head straight to where the
Upon disembarking from the vehicle alongside Lord Pluto, Alexander was met with a chorus of salutes from the newly formed merger of the Xander Mercenaries, their respect palpable in the air.With a gracious smile adorning his face, Alexander returned the salute to his loyal comrades. Meanwhile, a quartet of individuals, comprising Isabelle, Damien, Terry, and Townsend, made their way toward the charismatic duo of Alexander and Lord Pluto.Isabelle, ever conscious of the company present, initially exhibited a degree of restraint in her demeanor, but Alexander, driven by the warmth of their reunion, paid no heed to the onlookers and proceeded to embrace Isabelle, reaffirming their strong bond.He gently murmured into her ear, "You've put in a tremendous amount of effort," his words soft and reassuring. After sharing a heartfelt embrace that lasted for approximately two minutes, he released her from their warm hug. Isabelle found herself inundated with a whirlwind of emotions, yet she
"What one?" Alexander inquired, his brow furrowing in confusion as he struggled to grasp the gravity of Lord Pluto's words.In response, Lord Pluto's voice carried a somber tone as he recounted a past conversation, "During our initial encounter, Isabelle shared her audacious ambition with me – to conquer Rhode Island and emerge as the dominant power. I warned her that the existing peak forces in the region were formidable, and it seemed an insurmountable task, but she remained resolute."With a weary sigh, Lord Pluto continued to divulge, "I've taken precautionary measures since then; I've summoned my loyal followers and fortified my territory to shield it from external influences. It's not that I plan to betray them, but I'm not willing to jeopardize my life either so it's better i remain on the sidelines. Isabelle once mentioned that if her young master were present, dealing with these forces would be a breeze. Seeing you, you appear quite ordinary, which makes me wonder if she exag
Alexander found himself escorted by a group of heavily armed men who guided him through the encampment, ultimately leading him to their authoritative figure. The commanding presence he met was none other than Lord Pluto, the formidable leader of the Plutonian Force whom Isabelle was familiar with it.The Plutonian Force, the mercenary force that had recently isolated themselves and had strategically fortified their encampment, shutting themselves off from external affairs. Yet, the part of the coast where Alexander had made his unexpected arrival fell within their territory.Curiously, this region had been left less guarded, as the Plutonians didn't anticipate any visitors attempting to access their territory by sea, considering the treacherous waters teeming with wildlife posed a significant deterrent.So it was truly a surprise to see Alexander come from there.It was a genuine shock to witness Alexander emerge from that particular location."Kneel!" In a tense moment, one of the a
Alexander approached Freya with a graceful stride, lowering his head in a polite bow as he spoke, "I extend my heartfelt gratitude."He then turned his attention to Uncle Three and performed a similar courteous gesture, expressing his appreciation, "Thank you for your assistance."Uncle Three, a jovial twinkle in his eye, replied with a chuckle, "Oh, I didn't really contribute much. Had it not been for this powerful lady here, my second brother might have persisted."Alexander's lips curled into a warm smile, his appreciation unwavering, "Nevertheless, your decision to come here alone carries great significance."Uncle Three acknowledged the gravity of the situation with a nod, "I understand that you have important matters to discuss with her. I'll take my leave now, leaving you to your conversation."Alexander gave a subtle nod, his eyes locked on Uncle Three as his figure slowly faded from view. Before Alexander could utter a word, Freya's voice resonated with a mix of understandin
Uncle Three experienced a profound sense of shame due to Freya's words. Despite his unwavering faith in Alexander, he couldn't deny that Alexander's opponent possessed superior skills and abilities. Nevertheless, he made a deliberate choice to maintain his silence, mirroring Freya's stance. Uncle Three harbored an unspoken commitment that if ever Alexander found himself in mortal peril, he would instantly and unhesitatingly rush to his aid, ready to face any danger to protect his young master.Alexander and Silas remained entangled in their fierce battle. In this latest skirmish, the formidable force of their clash propelled Alexander, once more, to be forcefully hurled to the unforgiving ground. However, instead of immediately pursuing his fallen opponent, Silas chose to bide his time and observe, patiently allowing Alexander to rise on his own accord. Silas anticipated the moment of vulnerability that would arise when his adversary got back on his feet, ready to seize any opportu
Deep within the recesses of Uncle Two's mind, an intense desire burned within him, one he could scarcely admit even to himself. It was a wish, a sinister yearning, to violently dismantle Freya's world and force her to witness his merciless confrontation with Alexander. This desire was so powerful that it coursed through his every thought, yet he refrained from acting on it.Two primary reasons compelled Uncle Two to exercise caution. Firstly, he was unable to ascertain the true extent of Freya's abilities or her connections, leaving him in the dark regarding the potential consequences of his actions. Secondly, an overwhelming, ominous pressure seemed to emanate from Freya herself, a formidable force that served as a stark deterrent.Despite the fervent desire to bring Alexander to an end, Uncle Two cherished his own life, a natural instinct that whispered warnings of the grave dangers lurking should he tread recklessly on this treacherous path. In this delicate balance between desi
