Alex was utterly speechless.
Those kids indeed did not seem to take money seriously.
Obviously, it was a given knowing how wealthy the Yowells were since they were among the four
California noblesâ wealthiest families.
With an icy gaze, Colin lifted the big hammer above his head. As he noticed Alex, who still retained his
calm and steady demeanor, he became brutally agitated.
âAre you coming out or not?!â
âIâll see how long you can pretend!â
Roarrrr!!
Like a furious dragon, he let out a ferocious roar, and his inner strength as a martial arts practitioner at
Advanced Royal immediately emanated. The big hammer, which weighed approximately 20kg,
smashed right into the passenger seatâs windshield.
At that instance, a few Yowells became very excited, while some panicked.
Michelle who was initially full of menace, suddenly trembled. She didnât dare continue watching.
She wondered if he was too shocked and terrified at Colinâs blow.
Coincidentally, she noticed Alexâs gaze that was filled with annoyance.
âWhat? Is he looking down on my brother?â
âOr perhaps⦠he has a better card up his sleeve?â
The next second, Alex lifted his arm and brought it down, right upon the windshield.
The point where he smashed was right on the spot where Colin had hammered.
Bammm!!
What sounded like a deafening explosion ensued.
The hammer and fist collided with each other, the windscreen in between them.
Everyone watched in shock and disbelief after seeing what Alex chose to do. Had he gone mad? He
clashed with the solid hammer by using his bare fist! Considering he was a martial artist at Advanced
Royal rank, Colinâs strength was not to be taken lightly, especially when angered. He could even smash
through a ten centimeter thick steel plate.
At this rate, Alexâs fist was likely to become a minced meatball.
Michelleâs eyes were gaping wide open. She knew, by rationale, that Alexâs hand was going to be
permanently disabled.
But strangely, by observing his cold gaze, an absurd thought crossed her mind that perhaps Alex might
have a better card.
In a blink of an eye, the hammer in Colinâs hand ricocheted toward him as hit by a speeding car.
Fortunately, the hammer grazed past his hair, mere inches away from his face. If that didnât happen,
this very day next year would have marked his death anniversary.
Colin literally felt the hammerâs inertia when it whizzed past him.
His body turned numb, and the membrane between his thumb and index finger tore, causing him to
bleed profusely.
He fell off the car hood and his chest made contact with the ground. A strange and terrified expression
clouded his face as he spat out a big mouthful of blood.
There was pin-drop silence everywhere.
What just happened turned out to be too overwhelming and shocking.
In fact, it was an outcome beyond expectation.
Just how hard could his fist be?
âColin! Colin! Are you okay?â Michelle ran toward Colin and hugged him with tears in her eyes. She
turned back and glared in fury at Alex. âHow dare you hurt my brother?! Iâll definitely kill you if anything
happens to him!â
âWeâll talk about it if you survive the year.â
Alex shook his head in regret as he looked at the shattered windscreen of his Rolls-Royce.
Calmly, he got out of the car and slowly walked toward Colin, his hands placed behind his back.
The other Yowells who watched on shuddered in fear. They began to lose all composure of
themselves.
Perhaps even Keith, the leader of the Yowells, couldnât have taken on a hammer with his fist like Alex.
âStay away, stay away!â
Michelle screamed, her teary eyes filled with raging flames.
She was at her boiling point, yet fearful at the same time.
âYour brother is going to die if I donât go over,â said Alex calmly.
âWhat?â
âColin, how are you feeling? Colin?!â The anxious Michelle started weeping. To her, her brother was the
most important person in her life. He had been taking care of her like a parent, and since they had
passed on early, she couldnât imagine life without Colin.
Colin slowly propped himself up, trembling. Suddenly, he spat out a mouthful of blood again.
