Chapter 39
As they fought to escape, desperate to save their own lives, Alex calmly waved his hand.
A sudden, crushing aura exploded from him, engulfing the leeing thugs.
It was as if gravity itself had multiplied.
Their legs gave out. Muscles refused to respond.
Some dropped to their knees instantly, gasping for breath, faces pale.
The weaker ones couldn’t hold back, wetting themselves in terror.
Suddenly, from up ahead, the sharp crack of gunfire rang out.
Ten bullets were filed straight at Alex from a black SUV that had been lying in wait at very front.
Six armed men rushed to back up their fallen leader, and without hesitation, they opened fire, their mission clear -kill Alex.
The thugs on the ground thought for sure Alex would be taken down.
But just as the bullets closed in, they stopped, hanging in mid–air just centimeters from his body, frozen in place as though the laws of physics no longer applied.
The thugs gasped.
What the hell was this?
Before anyone could process what had happened, the bullets suddenly twisted in midair, reversing their direction
They rocketed back toward the six armed men with deadly speed, as if guided by an unseen force.
A split second later, the sound of bullets ripping through flesh filled the air, followed by cries of agony.
The men who had fired the shots were struck down by their own bullets.
The thud of bodies hitting the ground echoed in the stillness.
The entire scene went silent. No one dared to move. No one dared to speak.
Alex stood there, untouched, as if nothing had happened at all.
The thugs, now utterly broken, lay trembling at his feet, their spirits crushed, their bodies soaked in sweat and fear.
They had challenged a Superior.
They never stood a chance.
“Sleep!” Alex commanded.
And all the thugs suddenly fell to the ground, fainted.
When Jasmine finally opened her eyes, having kept them tightly shut during the gunfire, she looked around to find all the thugs unconscious, scattered across the ground.
Morris rushed over from the car, relief evident on his face as he saw everything was safe.
“The help is on the way, but they got ambushed at the entrance of the slum. They’ll be a bit late.”

“For safety, we need to get out of here first,” Alex said.

“But all these SUVS and people blocking the car… It’ll take me to clear them out,” Morris replied, looking at the mess surrounding them.
Alex let out a long whistle. “You slum scavengers, you can take all these SUVs, but you have to take the thugs with you!”
The slum dwellers, who had been watching from a distance perked up at his words.
Their faces lit up with excitement as they rushed forward while yelling to call their friends.
Old men, old women, young men, and even women with children–all with greedy eyes–hurried to grab the abandoned vehicles.
They dragged the unconscious thugs, tossing them into the SUVS.
A junkie yelled to his friend, “Only pick out the good–looking thugs and get them in the SUV. We’re throwing a party tonight!”
“Sausage fest?” Morris cringed.
Some took the opportunity to steal from the thugs, grabbing wallets and stripping them of their clothes, but none dared approach the Limousine, Alex and Jasmine.
Within minutes, all the thugs and SUVS had vanished, swept away by the greedy scavengers.
The street was left spotless, not a single item left on the ground.
Morris’s eyes widened in disbelief. “If only Kingston’s workers were this fast and efficient, Master Alfred would be thrilled.”
“Let’s get out of here first,” Alex suggested. “It’s not safe.
Morris’s face suddenly turned pale.
“They took our car too!” he exclaimed, realizing the scavengers had been a bit too efficient.
They even stole his modest car.
No one had predicted something like this would d happen.
“Please join us in our car,” Jasmine offered politely.
There wasn’t any other solution.
Morris and the limousine driver activated the automatic flat tire repair, starting the long Limousine. 2)
Soon, they were back on the road, with Alex and Jasmine sitting together in the backseat.
After a long silence, Alex finally spoke. “Next time, don’t put yourself in danger by coming out to shield me.”
Jasmine bit her lip. “But you did the same for me.”
“I’m stronger than you think,” Alex replied.
“Alex, I really need to thank you for saving my life again. I don’t know how I could ever repay you for that.”
“It’s just what a man’s supposed to do–no need to repay me,” Alex said, brushing off her gratitude.
“But why are you here? And where are your bodyguards?”

Jasmine’s face flushed pink, and she stuck out her tongue playfully, caught red–handed.
“I snuck out with just the driver to gather some video footage of this area, you know, for tonight’s charity event.”
“Why not just ask someone else to do it?” Alex questioned,
