[Sub Quest completion time: 30 minutes]"Ah." Alex grimaced in pain. His head was dizzy and his vision became blurry. He felt his body being lifted and dragged by someone. Several times his feet hit rocks and his head, hands, and shoulders hit blunt objects.Alex closed his eyes as he had no energy left. He could still hear the sounds of commotion in the distance."I'm lucky I caught you before you ran away, Alex," said a man pulling Alex towards the building, "if you'd run away, you'd have given me more trouble with those bastards.""Uncle Andy," Alex muttered hoarsely and softly.Alex opened his eyes, looking forward. Although it was dim, he recognized the thin man who was pulling him. "Did you come to help me?"Andy turned his head, chuckling in annoyance. "You son of a b*tch! You're still going strong after they beat you up, Alex. I'm doing myself a favor by taking you to the punk's place."Alex was startled, clutching a tree branch until his body was restrained. "Why did you do i
Dariel immediately sped up the speed boat to catch up with the ship, glancing at Davis who was still in shock. "Why do you keep avoiding me, Davis? Your ring also keeps flashing when I'm near you. Does that have something to do with that red tide?"Dariel picked up speed. "My help wasn't free. You just paid for it with a fight and answers."Davis gripped the rope firmly, watching Dariel. "I don't know Roxy's true purpose. But he did me quite a favor tonight."Davis watched his ring continue to flash red, staring at the ship that was almost overtaken in a moment. "I need to get ready to help Alex."Dariel caught up with the ship, pulling on the rope to get Davis closer to him faster.Davis was on full alert as he got closer to Dariel. "The system has initiated rescue mode. I still wonder why Roxy is so dangerous that I can't come into contact with him."Davis was behind Dariel. Their speed boat and boat were almost attached. He surveyed the ship and saw some punks organizing wooden box
[Warning!] [Someone is shooting at you from behind] Davis instantly stepped on the wall of the ship and pushed to the side. He could see the shot that was aimed at him. The shot streaked into space. Davis jumped overboard along with the falling wooden boxes. One hand clung to the side of the ship, while the other managed to catch Alex's hand. He and Alex seemed to be dangling. "Davis," Alex murmured with a surprised look, grasping Davis' hand tighter. He still didn't expect a stranger like Davis to endanger someone like him. Davis eyed the small canoe beside him. "Alex, take the knife in my pants pocket, then cut the rope on the canoe. We can use the canoe to escape." "Davis. I'm ...." Alex clenched his fists tightly, starting to climb up Davis' body with all the strength he had left. Alex had a few near misses and Davis flanked Alex's body with his legs. Alex managed to get the knife from Davis' pants pocket. As he was about to move to the side, he was surprised to see a punk
"Alex." Davis instantly turned around, surprised to see Alex standing not far from him. "Why are you here? You still need to get treatment from the doctor."Alex suddenly burst into tears, wiping the tears away with his sleeve, but the crying didn't stop.Alex ran towards Davis, almost falling as he accidentally stepped on a rock. He suddenly hugged Davis very tightly, sobbing."Alex." Davis hugged Alex, stroking the young man's back. The man suddenly remembered the past. He hugged Sebastian very tightly under the rain after being bullied by the Anderson family.Alex hugged Davis tighter. His body shook violently along with his labored breathing. He felt the warmth of Davis' caress on his back."You're so strong, Alex. You can still run and hug me so tightly after going through so much today." Davis smiled, hugging Alex tighter.Alex stopped crying, staring at the ocean waves, letting go of the hug. He looked down for a long time, not daring to look at Davis."I'll take you to the hos
Dariel stopped in his tracks, staring at Davis. "Do you want to fight me and beat me like you did The Street Boss at their headquarters?" Davis asked. Davis chuckled as Dariel remained silent. "Why are you helping me? Answer my question!" [System prepares to start rescue mode] Davis was surprised to see Dariel darting towards him. He stretching the distance. Dariel stopped, staring at Davis intently. "Davis is avoiding me again. He's in bad shape right now. This is my chance to touch him." Dariel ran back toward Davis, and Davis tried to dodge and get away from him. The two men continued to chase each other for several minutes. Davis controlled his ragged breathing, enduring the pain. "I need to get away from Roxy as soon as possible." Dariel smiled. "Davis is exhausted. His movements have become slower. You may not be able to fight me tonight, but you must give me the answer to my curiosity, Davis." Dariel darted quickly toward Davis. Davis was so startled that he fell over
Davis was in a barbershop, watching a man trim and smooth Alex's hair. It was like he had a real little brother."I have to acknowledge Alex's strength and resilience. He looks fine even though his condition was very worrying last night. He's going to be a great member in the future."Davis checked forum on the internet. He was surprised to see a post about his brief fight with Roxy on the beach last night. "The sender is the different account that sent the post about me and Roxy fighting with the punks. The comments on that post have already reached five thousand."Davis saw several posts that talked about the real relationship between him and Roxy. Those posts received many comments. However, the most commented post was one titled, "Davis already knows Roxy's real face?"Davis scratched his hair. "I wonder who sent this post? Could it be Roxy's other account?""How do I look now?" asked Alex, smiling broadly.Davis got up from the chair, looking Alex up and down. "You look different
Bosu and his friends surrounded Alex."Did you miss our punches, Alex?" Bosu laughed. "I'll give you the spanking you miss. Don't cry."Bosu sprinted toward Alex, throwing punches. "Don't cry if you're hurt!"Alex dodged to the side, punched Bosu in the stomach, pulled the collar of the fat student's uniform, and threw Bosu down. "I'm not afraid of you anymore!"Bosu and his friends were shocked.Davis smiled. "Alex is learning fast. His confidence has grown."Alex smiled widely, holding Bosu's back with his legs. The young man had learned some basic self-defense moves from the internet. However, he was not confident in his skills and was afraid that things would get worse when he put up a fight."I promised to become a new and useful person." Alex stepped away from Bosu, showing a video recording, and smiling."You bastard!" Bosu quickly stood up, ready to retaliate."Do you guys remember this incident?" Alex smiled.Bosu and his friends were shocked when they saw the video footage.
Dariel laughed as he read several comments about the national championship he had initiated on the forum. "As I expected, many people will be interested in this championship. I just have to tell my subordinates to prepare everything.""Davis, I'll be waiting for you at the championship. You're pretty tough, but you're still not worthy of being my opponent when I fight seriously. You have plenty of time to improve your skills."Dariel placed the cell phone beside the chair, taking a deep breath. "Other than my ring and mask, my cell phone is damaged and can't be repaired at all. The red tide is very mysterious. My team still hasn't gotten a definitive answer about the damage to my ring and mask until now. But I do know that the source of the red tide came from Davis."Dariel stared at the pond in front of him, clenching his fists tightly as he recalled the events of last night. "I was careless for losing a part of my mask. Davis must have taken it. If he's working for someone who has a
