"I vividly remember you assuring me that this pill is the antidote needed to rescue him," Isabel said, her frustration evident as she glanced over at Alexander and then turned her attention to Damien.Damien, wearing a confused expression, furrowed his brows and responded, "I am certain that this pill is made from the mysterious phoenix tail grass. However, I am confused and still don't know why young master here has not regained consciousness yet. I know i couldn't learn much in this field because of my poor talent, but I can assure you hundred percent that this pill is indeed made from the Phoenix Tail grass. Despite his current state, I can sense a faint breath, indicating that he is still alive."As Isabel felt a wave of anxiety wash over her, Monique approached and gently placed a comforting hand on her shoulder, soothing her nerves. Taking a deep breath, Isabel regained her composure and joined Monique and Damien in observing Alexander intently.Suddenly, a subtle and barely au
The young man had a furious expression on his face. He said, "You wanted to get back at Alexander for what he did to your student. I allowed you to do that. But do you really think that makes you invisible? You also have to face the consequences for kidnapping Monique and trying to kill Alexander."The old man responded with a smile, saying, "You don't have enough power to stop me or even take my life. And even if I were to die today, I wouldn't have any regrets for two reasons. First, I got my revenge on Alexander and avenged my student. Second, whoever eventually manages to kill me will have to face the wrath of my brother in a brutal manner."The young man laughed as though he had just heard a hilarious joke. Afterward, he responded, saying, "I'm sorry to say, but I believe you will end up feeling sorry and regretting after you die. Maybe when you are in the underworld, you would learn why i allowed you do as you please."The old man, with a smug grin on his face, reacted by saying
The figure with the aged voice who let out a weary sigh emerge. This person was none other than Tobias, a person well-known to Alexander. Tobias was the old man who had cunningly deceived Alexander into becoming his disciple, and also gave him the mysterious black pill. Furthermore, he happened to be the brother of the old man who had set out to kill Alexander.Tobias stooped down beside his dying brother, his voice filled with remorse as he uttered, "Brother, I deeply regret not helping you but you have committed numerous acts of evil, and I have allowed them to go unchallenged. Let this moment be your chance at redemption. Even if I had intervened, you would have been able to inflict harm on Alexander, let alone surviving. They gave me face and let you do what you did."His brother let out a pained groan and asked, "He has a powerful expert like me by his side. Who exactly is Alexander?"Tobias turned to his brother, his voice filled with a mixture of nostalgia and gratitude. "Can y
"Ever since we left the abandoned building," Damien wondered, "I haven't seen Alexander or Monique make a single phone call or even lift a finger. But for some reason, Alexander seems confident that the old man who attacked him has been taken care of by now. It makes me wonder... Could it be that Alexander has another skilled expert hidden away, someone more powerful thsn Isabel, who is secretly working by his side? If that's true, then why didn't this expert show up when Alexander was in danger? Ah well, forget it. Trying to understand the ways of truly powerful people is just too confusing for me."Monique and Isabel weren't very surprised by the situation. They understood that there were experts nearby who were watching and protecting them closely. However, they didn't know why the experts didn't step in right away. They had a suspicion that it was a decision from someone in a higher position to help Alexander become stronger. They believed that the more danger Alexander encountere
Helen brought Alexander inside the house. When they entered the living room, they saw Mr. Baker, Helen's father, already seated and patiently waiting. Without paying much attention to Mr. Baker, Alexander simply found a seat for himself. Mr. Baker didn't like Alexander's attitude and was unhappy with it, but he decided to tolerate it because he had a plan in mind.Mr. Baker greeted Alexander, saying, "Welcome to my humble home, Alexander," without sounding overly humble or dominant.However, Alexander being his usual self, responded, "If this place is a humble home, then I must be living in a trash can."Mr. Baker felt embarrassed by Alexander's comment, but Alexander didn't seem to care. Getting straight to the point, he asked, "What do you want?""I heard that the Taylor family tried to have you killed before, but you managed to survive. Now, they're trying to harm my daughter as well. It's obvious they have a strong desire to cause trouble for my family. And you know i also take yo
Gem Taylor, his teeth clenched, expressed frustration by asking, "Why won't he just die?" Despite three attempts made on Alexander's life, two direct and one indirect, he managed to survive. This led Gem to wonder if Alexander was truly invincible. Alexander wasn't as powerful as he was yet he kept giving him headaches.Gem walked anxiously back and forth in the living room before finally making a decision. He declared, "The Chen family leader's upcoming birthday party presents an opportunity. Our plans with the Baker family will no longer go smoothly, after all we have fallen out. We will use the birthday celebration as an opportunity to propose a marriage alliance with the Chens. Prepare a birthday gift befitting the head of the Chen family. I believe I have the perfect gift in mind for the marriage proposal.""Yes, master," one of the servants replied, and the two servants promptly left to carry out Gem's instructions.The next day, Alexander was at home when Isabel brought in the
Finally, the day everyone had been eagerly anticipating had arrived – the birthday celebration! People who had received a special invitation were allowed to bring a single companion with them. Meanwhile, those who hadn't received an invitation were still welcome to join the festivities, but they were directed to a separate room reserved just for them. These non-invitees comprised mostly of ordinary individuals, and due to the limited space, they couldn't be seated together with the families who had received formal invitations.The hosts of the celebration wanted to ensure that all guests felt comfortable and had a wonderful time. That's why they carefully organized the seating arrangements to accommodate everyone's needs. The big families, who had received the much-coveted invitations, were seated in the main hall where they could enjoy the lively atmosphere and be part of the central festivities.On the other hand, the guests without invitations were guided to a smaller, yet equally
As for Arthur, he couldn't help but think to himself, "Wow, Mr. Greece really knows how to make a surprising entrance! He's quite impressive."While the Forbes family duo looked on, they were secretly scolding Alexander in their minds, saying, "Oh no, Alexander, why don't you realize that wherever you go, you're representing Young Master G? Be more careful!" But they didn't dare say anything aloud because no one else knew about the connection between Young Master G and Alexander. They feared that if they accidentally revealed it, they might have to pay a terrible price, even with their lives.Mr. Duncan, who was the boss of Swiftway Delivery Company, the very first company that Alexander had acquired after facing mistreatment, was overjoyed to see him. He had been worried that Alexander had forgotten about him, especially after Alexander said he had plans to expand the company back then.Still wearing his friendly smile, Alexander confidently led the way, and Isabelle followed closely
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
