That was enough.
With a chilling smile, he replied, "Did you really think I refused Grandpa Abraham’s request all because of your silly threats?"
"Isn’t that why?"
Mr. Lancaster shot back, his voice dripping with contempt.
Alex’s cold chuckle echoed in the room.
"I expected more wisdom from someone your age. Clearly, I overestimated you."
Mr. Lancaster was on the verge of exploding with rage.
"Are you trying to insult me?"
Alex sneered.
The answer was obvious.
"You know what? Sophia gave me $100 million as compensation."
Mischievously, Alex deliberately exaggerated the amount by 1,000 times.
With that, Alex pulled out the bank card and waved it

Jasmine stared in disbelief, eyes wide with shock."Did he seriously just run away?"Without hesitation, Alex gripped the axe tightly and swung it fiercely.The blade spun through the air, slicing toward Hugh. But Hugh, as if sensing danger behind him, dodged swiftly to one side, narrowly escaping.Heart pounding in desperation, Hugh sprinted toward the cover of the jungle, convinced he had cheated death.Just steps away from safety, his body lurched violently forward, and he crashed face-first onto the dusty earth.Pain exploded in his leg.Glancing back, Hugh's heart sank as he saw another axe embedded in the ground behind him—and his severed ankle lying nearby, blood soaking into the dirt.Frantic, Hugh summoned all his remaining strength, channeling his inner energy to stem the bleeding.If he could hold out, the doctor might still salvage his limb."Please, please! Spare me!" Hugh wailed, his voice trembling, the bravado gone from his desperate eyes.Alex approached slowly, his f

Four felt her cheeks burn as embarrassment flooded her veins.If there had been a hole nearby, she would’ve dived into it instantly.She cursed herself silently—had she known Alex would hold such a fierce grudge, she never would have mocked him.Nearby, Hugh groaned, slowly regaining consciousness.He pushed himself upright, confusion etched across his face."Must've tripped over my own damn feet," he muttered.Alex stared at him, eyes narrowed in disbelief.Did this fool really not realize what had happened to him—the danger he was in? Or was his arrogance so thick it had blinded him?Seeing Alex's silence, Hugh’s lips twisted into a smug grin.“What’s the matter, kid? Cat got your tongue now that you’ve seen what real level-fifty power looks like? You’d better be shaking in your boots, boy!”“You’re nothing compared to me—like a bug under my boot.”“I’ll toss you one measly chance: grovel at my feet and smash your skull against the floor. Maybe, just maybe, I’ll grace you with my pi

"You bastard," Alex said, voice razor-sharp and deadly calm."You've got exactly five seconds to release her. If you don't, none of you bastards are walking out of here alive."The room erupted in an instant—laughter and mockery swept through Hugh Jones’ crew like a brushfire, loud and vicious."Who the hell does this fool think he is? Threatening Hugh Jones? He's got a death wish!""Drop to your knees if you value your life, kid!""This brat's got some nerve!"Angry murmurs swirled violently, insults hurled like bullets.Hugh raised his hand, silencing the uproar, a thin smile stretching across his lips.“Easy now, everyone,” Hugh said smoothly, stepping forward with a chilling calm in his eyes.“Let me deal with our little intruder—he clearly doesn’t know who I am yet. But don’t worry… once he does, regret will be the only thing he feels.”He stopped, sizing Alex up with smug disdain. "You must be Alex. Here’s your one chance—get down and lick my boots, and maybe I’ll let you live."

Hugh Jones erupted into cruel laughter, relishing the sight of Kingswell's fighters dropping one by one.Jasmine watched in horror, her face drained of color as the brutal truth sank in—they never had a chance."See?" Hugh mocked, eyes glinting with twisted amusement."They came here to save you, and look how pathetic they turned out. Weak. Useless."Hugh suddenly reached out, gripping Jasmine's hair roughly, inhaling deeply with sickening pleasure."Vancouver is weak," he growled softly. "Chicago is going to swallow it whole. You’d be smart to accept the deal I’ve offered you."Jasmine glared, her eyes fiery despite her fear."Marry you?" she scoffed bitterly."It's the best deal you'll ever get," Hugh sneered, gripping her hair tighter."Dupont and Hernandez are planning to reduce Vancouver to ashes. Our wedding would save it."She laughed sharply, contempt dripping from every note."And conveniently put Vancouver, my father, and Kelly under your thumb. You’d control three territori

Ten minutes earlier, Four and her crew lay hidden within the thick jungle foliage, eyes trained on a secluded villa deep in the shadows.Armored guards paced the grounds, their movements tense and vigilant."This place was always deserted," Four whispered sharply."Looks like Hugh Jones has finally decided to use it. Jasmine might be in there too."She signaled briskly with her hand, and two team members swiftly vanished into the dense brush.Minutes later, one returned, dragging a frightened captive along by the collar."Speak up!" Four demanded, eyes blazing with intensity "Is Hugh Jones inside? What about Jasmine Kingston?"The captive trembled, his voice barely a rasp. "Hugh’s there… with a woman.""How many inside?" she pressed."About twenty-five," the man stammered, panic evident in his face.Another team member stepped closer. "I counted roughly ten outside. Probably fifteen more inside."Four grinned, sharp and fearless. “There’s ten of us. Each one can handle four of them—t

Jasmine Kingston stood tall, exuding confidence and a chilling grace.“Listen carefully, Mr. Nobody. My man is far stronger than you could ever comprehend. When he comes for you, you’ll regret every single decision you made today.”She turned away with a contemptuous smirk, fully aware that any resistance would result in slaughter.Jasmine stepped outside, holding her composure despite the dread building in her chest."Me? Regret?" The massive figure sneered with derision, his voice a cold growl."Lady, I'm the most dangerous man walking this country. If your hero dares to show up, I'll make sure he's damned straight to hell, regretting every moment he ever dreamed of saving you."Two of his henchmen emerged, dragging old Joe Thompson forward.His face was a battered mess, blood running freely from his head, glasses shattered.Through the haze of pain, Joe spat defiantly, "You'll pay for this, Hugh Jones! Mark my words."Surprise flickered briefly in Hugh’s ruthless eyes, followed swi
