Chapter 127

Marco lunged first, knife raised high, but Alex didn't even bother to look at him.

With a smooth, almost lazy motion, Alex's hand snapped out and connected with Marco's face.

A sickening crunch echoed through the room as Marco's nose broke, sending him staggering backward.

The knife clattered harmlessly to the floor.

"How dare you attack ine!" Marco bellowed, blood streaming down his chin.

"Who told you to come at me?" Alex sneered.

His cold gaze shifted toward Jasper, who still held Megan hostage.

"Don't you take another step, or I'll slit her throat!" Jasper snarled, voice quivering

in a way that betrayed more nerves than resolve.

Alex just shook his head, his expression carved from stone.

"There is nothing in this world, or above it, except Almighty God, that I will ever bow to. Neither fear nor death has any hold on me."

His voice rumbled with quiet power, the sort of tone that sends chills down a man's spine.

blade shook so badly he looked ready to drop it at any moment.

Before he could even think to move, Alex's hand closed around his face, gri unyielding.
