Chapter 358

Gilbert stood frozen in shock, unable to comprehend seeing Alex standing boldly in front of him.

"You worthless piece of trash!" Gilbert spat venomously. "What the hell are you doing here?"

A guard raised his iron baton, ready to strike Gilbert down, but Alex swiftly raised a hand, halting the entire room with a silent command.

Alex smirked coldly. "Why shouldn't I be here?"

Gilbert's mind spun wildly, still unable to grasp the situation unfolding before him.

He glanced around, noticing dozens of eyes glaring at him with murderous intent, but he brushed it off arrogantly.

To him, they were nothing more than ants-pitiful, powerless ants. Why fear a swarm of insects?

He had stolen their family members, taken their daughters, even their women, and killed whoever he pleased-and they still couldn't lay a finger on him.

They were nothing. Powerless. Useless.

Why fear insects that couldn't bite?

He was a Guise, untouchable. Practically invulnerable.

"You insignificant pest still don't realize where you're standing, do you?" Gilbert sneered, stepping forward aggressively.

He jabbed his finger into Alex's chest, contempt dripping from every word. "This is the Guise family hall. Guards, grab this scumbag! Break every bone in his pathetic body!"

Yet none of the guards moved.

They simply stared at Gilbert, eyes filled with mocking disdain, like spectators watching a foolish dog challenging a lion.

Alex seized Gilbert's pointed finger with terrifying speed and twisted brutally.

A sickening snap echoed through the hall.

"Arghh!" Gilbert screamed, eyes bulging with pain.

Without hesitation, Alex drove his fist into Gilbert's face, shattering his nose and sending four teeth clattering onto the marble floor.

Gilbert collapsed, blood streaming from his face, howling in agony.

"You're dead, Alex! Do you hear me? You'll die screaming-I swear I'll torture you!"

Norman, who had watched silently as his family members were cut down one by one, finally exploded in rage as his son crumpled to the floor.

"Do you realize what you've done, you arrogant fool?" Norman roared to Alex. His voice trembled with fury.

"You've declared war on all of Paris! Even if you slaughter us tonight, your entire family will be hunted down by the whole country. If you value your miserable life, you'd better let us go right now!"

"Oh, really?" Alex laughed darkly, stepping casually toward Norman.

"I thought you people knew how this worked. Isn't it your rule-the powerful stomp on the weak, and the weak just suffer in silence?"

"These families have suffered endlessly, losing their daughters and loved ones because of you."

"Isn't it your turn to stay quiet and endure the pain-just like you made them do under people stronger than you?"
