Chapter 191

Viper's ragged breath filled the silence. His eyes stayed locked on Alex, hate and grudging respect mingling in his

*stare.

“Fine, kid,” he muttered at last, swallowing his pride. “We'll call it quits. You let me go, I let all of you walk out alive."

The punk in white gaped at him. “B-but, Big Bro-"

Viper rounded on him, snapping, "Shut your mouth! I don't need a backseat driver right now."

Alex watched him a moment longer, then slowly loosened his grip.

The jagged glass came away from Viper's throat, leaving a thin line of blood behind.

The whole bar practically exhaled in relief.

Even the punk in white flinched and pulled his knife away from Jack's neck, shoving the idiot forward.

Jack went flying into Sophia, who just barely kept him from hitting the floor. Florence rushed over, fussing like a mother hen that forgot she'd been insulting Alex five seconds ago.

Viper rolled his shoulders, rubbing at the red streak on his neck.

"You've got more nerve than most losers who show their faces around here," he said, a glint of danger still in his

eyes.

"But don't get cocky. If we cross paths again, it'll be the last time you have both hands attached."

Alex tilted his head in a careless shrug, flicking the broken shard onto the ground. "That's funny. I was about to say the same thing."

A hush clamped down on the bar, everyone's brains short-circuiting at the fact that Alex had just held a bottle to Sir Viper's neck... and walked away breathing.

Finally, one bold onlooker whispered, "I've seen some crazy shit, but this? Next- level."
