Chapter 133

The people who play with fire will get burned," Alex said, his tone cold. "And people who play with fear will find fear coming to take their life."

"I heard you've been spreading fear across Vancouver to make people know who you are," Alex said, narrowing his eyes. "I don't dare!" Harlan stammered, trembling.

"If only you spent your time being kind and waited for it to come back to you, you'd be the happiest person on Earth," Alex said, positioning his thumb and middle finger to flick Harlan's forehead

"Next time when you're born, please, be a good person."

"Please.....” Harlan whispered, his voice barely audible.

Alex flicked his fingers.

Suddenly, Harlan felt nothing-only darkness.

His body collapsed to the ground, lifeless. Inside, his brain had already turned to mush.

Alex sighed wearily and walked out of the study room.

Without needing confirmation, he could feel Sophia's presence in one of the large

rooms.

Beyond a towering wooden door, the lavish scent of expensive candles filled a spacious bedroom.

Sophia lay asleep on an oversized bed, wearing only lingerie.

Her hair spread out across the pillows in a cascade of soft curls, her face calm in the hush of dreams.

Alex approached quietly.

Despite his guarded nature, a twinge of tenderness flickered inside him at the sight of her vulnerability.

He opened an ornate wardrobe, pulled out a set of silk pajamas, and draped them gently over her.

Then, with deliberate care, he gathered her into his arms.

She barely stirred, the deep rise and fall of her chest marking her slumber.

By the window, silver moonlight poured in, illuminating the room in a gentle glow.

Alex, pressing his hand against the frame, stepped out into the open air-then, with a whisper of power, lifted them both into flight.

Cold wind brushed past, carrying the distant sounds of the city.

Outside, the moon hung high in the sky, casting its silver glow over Vancouver.

Sophia stirred and slowly opened her eyes.
