Chapter 372

"Judge me?" Henny scoffed, shaking her head with a sneer.

"You think you're qualified to do that?"

"Everyone, shoot him! He's alone-we're forty!"

Gunfire erupted like a thunderstorm. Bullets tore through the air, all aimed at Alex.

"Die, you arrogant freak!" Henny screamed with laughter, convinced this was the end of him.

But the laughter turned to gasps.

The bullets froze—suspended mid-air—just a meter from Alex's body, caught in an invisible wall of force.

"He's a superhuman!" one guard cried out, pale and trembling.

He fired again—more bullets.

Yet, every single shot hung lifeless in the air, powerless.

Panic rippled through the room.

In a flash of desperation, Henny yanked out her pistol and pressed it to Florence's head.

"Stop this or I'll blow her brains out!"

Alex didn't flinch. He smirked, eyes locked on her.

"Oh, please. Do it. You'd be doing the world a favor. One less parasite like you.

And if you're running low on bullets, I'll gladly hand you more."

Snarling, Henny turned her weapon on him and emptied the entire clip.

Bang. Bang. Bang.

But every round stopped cold-frozen in the air, circling him like useless insects. Not one touched him.

Alex stepped forward, slow and unstoppable.

Henny's grip on the gun trembled. Her voice cracked, raw with fear.

“I made a mistake! I'm just a weak old woman—please, stay away from me!"

"Playing the innocent now, huh?" Alex growled.

Suddenly, the front doors burst open. Two guards made a break for it, bolting toward freedom.

They didn't get far.

Their bodies froze mid-step, stiff like statues.

A voice echoed behind them.

"Final judgment hasn't been delivered. No one leaves."

Several guards dropped to their knees.

"Please, Superhuman!" one begged, eyes wet. "I'm just a hired gun! I never hurt

"Same here," another cried. "I've got two wives, five kids! I'm the only one feeding

them. Please! If you kill me, they will die too!"

Voices rose in desperation, a symphony of guilt and fear.

Tears flowed.

They all knew the truth-when you stand before a high-ranking superhuman, mercy is not guaranteed.
