Alex was alone in his room, the translucent system interface hovering before his eyes in the darkness."System, I don't want to wait anymore. Since my enemies are now even making assassination attempts, I think it's time to act. I have also gathered enough star points now," Alex said, his gaze narrowing as a cold light flashed in his eyes.Ding!(System can arrange the best way to eliminate your enemies if you pay two hundred credits. Or you can choose a method yourself, but I must warn you, choosing a method yourself is risky if it is not foolproof or if there is any mishap.)Alex fell silent and sank into thought. The room remained deathly quiet around him."System, what about the plans you arrange yourself? Do I have any assurance that they won't fail?" he asked after a long pause.Ding!(Hundred percent.)A slow smile spread across Alex's face."That's great then. Go ahead."Ding!(Elimination 1.0 activated. Execution will cost four thousand star points.)Alex's smile instantly fr

What surprised her was not who Nikita was, but the fact that she was standing so close to Jude, her arm linked with his as naturally as if she belonged there.Agnes looked carefully between them.Then she noticed the slight curve beneath Nikita's clothes.Her eyes widened.A thought immediately formed in her mind, but she quickly pushed it away before stepping forward with a warm smile.“Welcome, dear. I have always been a fan of your music.”Nikita smiled politely. “And I have heard a lot about you from Jude.”“Oh?” Agnes turned slowly toward her son and gave him a curious look.“Mom,” Jude said awkwardly, “this is Nikita.”“Yes, I know who she is,” Agnes said with a laugh. “Who wouldn't?”Jude rubbed the back of his neck nervously.“Uh... Mom.” He glanced at Nikita, then back at her. “She is my fiancée.”Agnes blinked.“And...” Jude continued, his voice growing even more awkward, “we are also expecting a child.”The room went completely silent.Agnes stared at him.Then she stared a

Without doubt, the girl who had falsely accused him of trying to force himself on her was not even the second blonde he had gone out with. The first girl he had ever actually dated had been blonde. Then after her, there had been two other blonde girls he had gone out with briefly, though neither of them had become anything serious.Trying to explain that all of that was somehow just a coincidence was not going to be easy.“I do not have an obsession with blondes!” he said quickly.“Really?”“Yes!”“You are sure?”“I am very sure!”“Then why were the first three girls you liked all blonde?”Jude opened his mouth.Then closed it again.He started sweating almost immediately.Nikita burst into laughter.This was revenge.Revenge for taking so long to propose even when she was already carrying his child.“It is alright, darling,” she said between laughs, stretching out her hand toward him. “I was joking. Look at you, you are sweating all over.”Jude let out a breath of relief so dramatic

The news that Alex had been shot and survived spread like wildfire. Fans all over the world knew about it almost immediately. But the most shocking part was that he had been discharged on the second day.According to the doctor, the bullet had not hit any vital organs. That news finally calmed the fans.He even went live with Caroline four days later to assure everyone he was completely fine and that his next show was not being cancelled.******“Darling, where are you?” Nikita called out tiredly as she stepped into the house.The fashion show had drained her completely. From morning until night she had been surrounded by designers, cameras, interviews, and endless problems. All day she had wanted Jude there with her, but he had been busy and could not come.Recently, the two of them had started appearing in public more often. Jude was hardly a nobody anymore. Every song he produced with Alex was dominating charts all over the world. With the streams exploding and the music videos sel

Alex pretended to be asleep the moment he saw Anna walk into the room.She moved slowly toward him and stopped beside the bed. Alex had no idea what she was doing and was just about to break character when she suddenly spoke."I didn't know what I would have done if I had lost you, Alex. You are my everything. I really like you, and I don't think I could ever like anyone else."When I heard you had been shot, it felt like a part of me had been shot too. But I'm happy you're alright now. The doctor said you are a miracle and that you didn't sustain any serious injuries."She paused, her fingers tightening around the edge of the bed until her knuckles turned pale.Alex found himself desperate to hear more."I love you, Alex." She finally broke the silence, her voice barely above a whisper."This incident has made me realize that life is too short. Anything can happen at any moment. Maybe giving things a chance and enjoying the moment is alright?"It sounded more like a question to herse

Alex was already moving again.He grabbed the second gunman just as the man turned after shooting the guard.The gunman struggled violently.Then, with his free hand, he suddenly pulled a pistol from inside his jacket.Bang!The shot slammed into Alex's chest.The impact forced him back half a step.For an instant, the entire room seemed to go still.Even so, Alex still drove his knee into the man's stomach, ripped the pistol from his hand, then kicked him in the head with enough force to twist it violently to the side.The last gunman froze for a fraction of a second.As if he could not understand why Alex was still standing.Then he fired too.Bang!The second bullet struck Alex in the chest.Several people in the nearby bar screamed.During the struggle, the wounded guard had crashed into the curtain and ripped it down completely, exposing the entire lounge to everyone outside.Dozens of people saw Alex take the shot.They saw him stagger backward.Then collapse heavily onto the fl
