Chapter 126

Chapter 126

Jasper wasn't much of a fighter himsell, but one look at Alex-colled like a panther about to strike told him the man was Hangerous.

tacking his lips, Jasper forced a shaky grin and took a step back.

"You know what?" he said. "This isn't the age of warriors anymore. We're past the days of letting our fists do the talking. Times have changed, and you should know that."

Alex raised an eyebrow. "Oh really? Enlighten me-what's change?"

Jasper didn't answer. Instead, he gestured to his men.

Around twenty of them pressed in, thugs of all shapes and sizes, each wearing a smug, predatory grin and weapons on their hands.

The iron baton in one man's hand whistled through the air, a warning of the violence to come.

A hush swept over the watching crowd.

Faces turned pale as the realization sank in-Alex was surrounded

Yet Alex didn't even blink. If anything, the corners of his mouth curved upward in a slow, almost taunting smile.

Raising a hand, he pointed at Jasper. Then he beckoned with a "come on" gesture.

"Give me your best shot," he said, voice echoing in the tense silence. "No-give me every last bit of it. Let's see who comes out on top."

Those words caused a ripple of unease.

Even Jasper's men, who were holding Sophia captive, looked taken aback.

Compared to the terrified Marco lying on the floor, Alex's show of confidence was downright shocking.

Jasper's face darkened with rage. "You little punk! Do you know who I am? You've got some nerve talking to me like that! Kill him!"

The order brought a tidal wave of bodies lunging for Alex.

They surged forward in a chaotic mass, trampling over Marco's unconscious form.

Marco awoke with a pained gasp, scrambled to his feet, and stumbled away, coughing up dust.

Three of the biggest men reached Alex first.

Each towered above six feet, muscle packed onto their frames like stacked bricks.

They moved in unison, arms outstretched to grab him in one vicious tackle.

To bystanders, it looked like the end was near.

But it wasn't.

Alex glided between them like a phantom, fists flying faster than anyone could track.

Aloud crack burst through the room, echoing off the walls as his punches connected squarely with each jaw.

Two men dropped instantly, collapsing like puppets with their strings cut. Gasps rippled through the crowd.

Jasper froze, mouth half-open, completely dumbstruck.
