Xavier immediately lowered his head in a respectful bow towards Alexander, expressing his remorse, "I beg your forgiveness, Alexander. My brother's actions were thoughtless and disrespectful."Vincent and Emily stood there in shock, unable to comprehend Xavier's submissive behavior towards Alexander. Vincent questioned his brother, bewildered, "Brother, why are you treating this lowly individual as if he were of noble stature?"Before Vincent could finish his sentence, Xavier swiftly delivered a slap to his face, commanding him sternly, "Apologize to him immediately.""You," Before Vincent could complete his words, another slap followed.However, he realized that something was amiss and reluctantly obeyed his brother's instructions, choosing to comply for the time being, unaware of the details surrounding the situation.Though he was a playboy who didn't take the family business serious, he knew that the family had made serious losses in the business attack against the White's Group r
"Considering your lack of honesty, it seems pointless to maintain any form of corporation between us," Alexander declared resolutely before walking away.Helen Baker, filled with indignation, gestured towards her imposing bodyguard, silently signaling him to take action against Alexander. In an instant, the burly man lunged towards Alexander, seizing the opportunity to avenge the kick inflicted upon him by Alexander earlier.However, as the powerful punch was about to connect with Alexander, he swiftly maneuvered his body with the agility of a lightweight object and retaliated with a punch of his own, infused with even greater force. Although Alexander had anticipated an attack, he had not foreseen the extent to which the burly man harbored intentions of crippling or even killing him.Alexander's counterpunch struck the burly man with tremendous impact, propelling him backward while he uncontrollably expelled blood from his mouth.Approaching the fallen burly man, Alexander delivered
"Alexander, Alexander,"***The following morning, Alexander awoke from his slumber. As he attempted to sit up, a slight pain emanated from his abdomen. Observing his discomfort, Isabel, who was beside him, promptly rose to her feet and assisted him in reclining back down. She bowed apologetically, her guilt apparent in her eyes. "Young master, I'm deeply sorry for my negligence. This unfortunate incident would not have occurred if I had been there to protect you," she expressed, the guilt evident in her eyes.Alexander sighed, he didn't want her blaming herself after all he had commanded her not to follow him. Alexander sighed, not wanting her to blame herself since he had specifically instructed her not to follow him. "Isabel, please don't blame yourself. It's my own fault, not yours. Moving forward, I promise to always heed your advice regarding my safety.""I won't be here any longer," she responded sorrowfully.This statement furrowed Alexander's brow, prompting him to attempt s
Alexander chuckled, amused by the situation. "You've got it all wrong," he corrected with a laugh. "It's not just the entire Baker family inviting Tom; it's specifically Helen Baker who's extending the invitation."As Alexander pondered the matter further, he continued, "The Baker family holds significant power and even wields influence in the underground world. They wouldn't simply pay attention to Tom; they would seek to control him. However, the dynamics change when it comes to Helen. I can sense that she desires to establish her own power, to grow independently outside of her family's sphere of influence."He reassured Arthur, saying, "There's no need to worry excessively about this. Instruct Tom to agree to whatever she proposes. Furthermore, gather the information I require, and I'll take care of the rest."Arthur nodded in understanding and departed from the room.Shortly after, Alexander's phone began to ring, emitting a peculiar sound. He picked it up, his face brightening in
Helen's disdainful reaction to Alexander's request reflected her frustration, as she sarcastically remarked, "Can't you, at the very least, show some respect towards me as the daughter of a prominent family?"In response, Alexander remained silent, his gaze fixed upon her. Irritated by his lack of words, Helen expressed her displeasure by stomping her foot and reluctantly complying, reaching over to open the car door.As Alexander stepped out of the vehicle, he glanced back at Isabel, who remained seated inside. Offering her a reassuring smile, he instructed, "Wait here, Isabel. I'll be back shortly."Observing Isabel's downcast expression, he paused and reconsidered, saying, "Alright, come with me, as I promised."Isabel nodded, and the three of them proceeded to enter the fast-food establishment, where they were greeted by two imposing men dressed in dark suits. These individuals, recognizing Helen, bowed in deference as they passed by.Inside, the atmosphere buzzed with liveliness.
"It's perfectly normal that you can't feel his power. He possesses greater strength than you, but he can't discern that I, too, am an expert in martial arts. In fact, he belongs to a lower stage," Isabel explained, her face adorned with a smile.Curious, Alexander inquired, "Oh, so there are different stages in martial arts?""Yes, young master," Isabel responded.She proceeded, expanding on the topic, "There are multiple stages in martial arts, such as the Novice stage, Disciple stage, Warrior stage, and Guardian stage, among others. Within each stage, there are three levels. For example, in the Novice stage, we have the lower, mid, and peak levels. This pattern persists across all the stages."Impressed by this revelation, Alexander exclaimed, "Wow, that's fascinating! So, at which stage are you currently?"Beaming with pride, Isabel proudly declared, "I have reached the Peak level of the Warrior Stage. The Baker expert, on the other hand, is at the Disciple stage."Alexander's inte
Amidst the enveloping darkness, a flicker of light pierced through, revealing a room where Alexander found himself standing alone. However, within moments, his eyes fell upon the figure of Emily, standing before him.Puzzled, Alexander frowned and queried, "Why are you here?"Instantly, Emily dropped to her knees, tears streaming down her face, as she fervently pleaded, "Please, Alexander, find it in your heart to forgive me. I never intended to cause you any harm. I now realize the gravity of my foolishness and how poorly I treated you, despite your boundless love."Torn between his lingering affection for her and doubts about genuine change, Alexander hesitated to respond. Would she truly transform and mend her ways?In the next instant, the scene shifted abruptly, and Alexander found himself seated in a lavish building, adorned with opulence befitting immense wealth. As he basked in his affluence, a servant hurried into the room, delivering unsettling news."Young master, as per yo
Alexander's reflexes were swift as he skillfully dodged the attack. His agility was attributed to his new status as a martial arts cultivator. Had he not possessed those abilities, he would not have been able to react so quickly.Isabel expressed her determination, "That aura is familiar. Its the Baker family's expert. Since he dares trace us here, let me end him right now, young master."Alexander dismissed her offer with a wave of his hand and a shake of his head, saying, "There's no need for you to do that. He and I are both of the same rank now. He can serve as a training opponent for me."The expert from the Baker family, a middle aged man, entered the scene and sat down with a chuckle, "Hahaha, such arrogance! A mere ordinary girl and a newcomer to the Peak level of the Disciple realm want to face me? However, it's surprising that I didn't sense an aura of a martial arts cultivator from you in the restaurant."With a confident smile, Alexander sat across from him and replied, "Y
