Thorne drove to the location Alexander had sent him, parked outside the tea house, and hurried inside.Reaching the private room where Alexander was seated, Thorne pushed open the door, glanced behind to ensure no one was following, and finally exhaled in relief before closing the door tightly.“Young Master Reynolds, I’m sorry for being late.” Thorne said with a wry smile.Alexander poured a cup of tea for Thorne and gestured for him to sit: “Sit down and have some tea to calm your nerves. Judging by your appearance, you’ve had quite a few scares these past few days.”“Don’t even mention it. These past days, I’ve felt like I’m constantly facing terrorists. I used to think of myself as a ruthless man with a lot of guts, but after watching those fighters train, I’ve realized I’m nothing compared to them. The truly ruthless people in this world make me look like a saint.” Thorne grumbled, downing the tea in one gulp: “Young Master Reynolds, I truly feel that the illegal boxing tournamen

Alexander listened quietly, then asked: “So you didn’t know your target until you arrived at the tea house and saw my photo?""Yes, yes, that’s correct. We had no idea beforehand.""Interesting. Choosing the tea house as a location was a spur-of-the-moment decision. Yet Paulie knew exactly where to find me. Haha.” Alexander scoffed.Thorne’s heart sank: “Young Master Reynolds, I swear I didn’t betray you!""I’m not accusing you of that.” Alexander said calmly: “I suspect someone planted a tracking device on you or your vehicle without your knowledge. Judging by the circumstances, it’s likely those foreign participants in the illegal boxing tournament trying to gauge my skills."Thorne immediately stood and began searching himself. Eventually, he found a thin metallic chip embedded in the sole of his shoe. The chip emitted a faint orchid glow, signaling it wasn’t an ordinary object."Those damn foreigners! Young Master Reynolds, should I gather our men and launch a surprise attack on t

Lyle's face turned red with rage, humiliated by the demand."It looks like you don’t want to apologize. Fine, don’t apologize then, but this is an insult to my people!" Lyle yelled, throwing a punch at Alexander’s face.Even though he doubted he could land a blow on Alexander, Lyle had to fight for his dignity.Alexander shook his head and casually threw a punch back, hitting Lyle in the face.Smack! Smack! Smack!Each slap from Alexander sent Lyle’s head swinging like a bell, knocking him off balance. After the barrage of slaps, Lyle staggered against the wall, struggling to stay on his feet."You... you..." Lyle spat blood, stumbling out of the room.He made his way back to the room, where Michal was waiting. Seeing Lyle's swollen face, Michal’s expression darkened."Lyle, what happened? I asked you to escort the two women, but you come back looking like this? Where are the others?" Michal asked in frustration."Mr. Michal, we were attacked. The others were knocked out, and I was th

Michal stared at the new message on his phone, his face twisted with dread: “Boss, Tome's guys didn’t give an exact time. They just said to wait for news tonight and that they’ll inform me of the meeting time at any moment."As he read the message, Michal felt like a blade was suspended over his head, ready to drop at any second.Alexander glanced briefly at Michal’s phone before closing his eyes and saying: “That guy is cautious. Fine, we’ll wait.""Maybe we should book a room first, Boss. You can rest properly. Sleeping in the car isn’t exactly comfortable.” Michal suggested, attempting to flatter him.Alexander shook his head, his voice indifferent: “No need. A quick nap in the car will do."Michal dared not say more. He quietly put his phone away, trying to mimic Alexander’s calm demeanor by closing his eyes and attempting to rest.Time passed quickly, and at 1 a.m., Michal’s phone suddenly rang.Still groggy, Michal fumbled for his phone. When he saw the caller ID, he immediately

Nico felt as if he had seen a ghost. This couldn’t be humanly possible. He was already at 380 mph—how could he still be getting caught up to?“Nico, Nico, how’s it going? We can’t even see the taillights of that Mercedes-Benz anymore!” crackled a voice over the radio.“I’m at 380 mph!” Nico growled: “I just managed to lose him!”“Damn! Nico, you’re a beast! 380 mph? That’s legendary speed, man.”“I told you Nico’s the real deal. There’s no way a Mercedes-Benz SUV, even if modified, could reach 380 mph.”“Nico, ease up on the gas a little and try to force that Mercedes to stop. Once he does, we’ll deal with the punk driving it. How dare he try to pass us? He’s got a death wish!”Nico’s face flushed red. He wanted to scream: “I’m barely holding on here!"The Mercedes-Benz kept closing the gap. Looking ahead, Nico saw that less than a kilometer away, the road curved sharply.At 380 mph, there was no way to navigate the curve safely. Even the best driver would slow down. Handling the curv
