Chapter 64

"Stay here," Alex instructed the children firmly, rushing into the house without hesitation.

Inside, two men stood menacingly: one aimed a gun directly at Josephine, while the other struggled to rise from the floor-a clear sign that Josephine had already put up a fight.

An elderly woman sat silently in her wheelchair, her eyes filled with both fear and defiance.

"Drop that stick," the gunman barked at Josephine.

"This time, I won't miss. I'll shoot you!"

Josephine stood her ground in front of the old woman, her arm bleeding from a grazed bullet wound.

"We're not selling the land," she declared fiercely. "Go back and tell your boss he can go straight to hell!"

The man fired a warning shot at the floor near her feet, causing splinters to fly. "Looks like you don't understand who you're dealing with," he sneered.

The other man, clutching his injured leg, glared at her as he staggered upright.

"You little bitch," he hissed.

"You dare to fight back? Take off your clothes. Sign the papers to sell the land, or I'll kill the old woman and make you wish you were dead."

His gaze roamed over her with a lecherous glint; despite her simple attire, Josephine's beauty was unmistakable.

"I wouldn't advise that," Alex's voice cut through the tension as he stepped into the room.

"Who the hell are you?" the gunman asked.

This was supposed to be an easy job-an old woman, some kids, and a young woman who wouldn't resist.

He never expected this to be so difficult and time-consuming; his boss was already rethinking his capabilities.

"Take one more step, and I'll shoot," the man warned, aiming his weapon at Alex. Unfazed, Alex continued to advance.

Before the gunman could react, Alex swiftly disarmed him, twisting the gun out of his grasp.
