The leader had a firm attitude.
He glared at Alex and refused to utter a word.
Alex snapped his finger. âOkay then. Let me see how firm you are. If you can last a minute, Iâll let you
guys go.â
As the leaderâs eyes were filled with bemusement, Alex pressed his finger on his brow.
It was imbued with a strange aura.
In the next second, the homicide leader grimaced in fear and sweat bullets.
A terrifying roar came out from his throat, as if he had encountered the worst suffering and torment in
his life.
As Cheryl witnessed such a scene, she was dumbfounded and unable to comprehend the situation.
Not even a minute â it was just three seconds â the homicide leader fell to the ground with a thud as
his will collapsed. âIâll say! Ahh! Iâll say anything! I beg you, please make it stop! Please spare my life!â
Cherylâs eyes widened in bewilderment.
His response was too exaggerated. Was he putting on a joint performance with Alex?
Once again, Alex pressed his finger on the leaderâs brow and he finally calmed down afterwards.
Enervated, he sat on the ground and sweat heavily. His face turned white as a sheet as he shuddered
in fear, even his eyes were fully filled with dreads.
Without waiting for Alex to ask, he said on his own initiative, âYes. Itâs from Mr. Lark from the pharmacy.
He requested us to snatch that hundred-year-old ginseng from her hand.â
Cherylâs eyes widened in surprise. âItâs him?! Thatâs too evil!â
Alex said, âThere is no need to resort to violence just to snatch a ginseng. Looking at your offensive
stance earlier, not only you wanted to snatch the ginseng, but you also wanted to kill. Tell me
everything, otherwise Iâll let you the power of the Soul Banishing Touch.â
What he had just used was a simple trick in The Ultimate Book of Medicine, which was specialized in
inflicting torture.
However, such a trick must not be looked down. Based on the inherited information, once Soul
Banishing Touch was cast on the opponent, he would suffer an unbearable pain as if his soul was
shattered by countless bugs. Needless to say, normal people would not be able to endure it. Even if
they were trained experts, most of them would not last a minute.
Alex was not proficient in Soul Banishing Touch as he only used it for the first time. Initially, he thought
the leader could last for several dozens of seconds but he did not know that he could not even last for
three seconds.
The leader hurriedly explained, âYes. We saw your girlfriend. Sheâs too beautiful and we like her very
much. So, we wanted to grab her into the carâ¦â
When Cheryl heard it, her face turned pale as she broke out in a cold sweat.
If Alex did not save her just now and once she was dragged into the car by the murderers, she would
have suffered a fate worse than death.
Earlier, she just had a narrow escape!
âScumbag!â
Wham!
Alex knocked out the homicide leader with a single stomp.
Police siren sounded.
At this moment, a police car arrived.
It turned out that a passerby had just made a call to the police after seeing several masked men
beating Alex with sticks. So, the police hurried to the scene.
At a glance, the three of them were actually A-class wanted criminals â it was unbelievable.
The police officers were headed by a young female captain. The captain, who was in great joy,
immediately ordered her men to cuff the three wanted criminals. After asking for the testimony and
being shown the video evidence captured by Alexâs phone, she could understand the case easily.
The captain immediately took her men and hurried to the pharmacy.
With the presence of both testimony and evidence, denial would be impossible.
Mr. Lark from the pharmacy was ashen-faced, as though he had lost his parents. Never did he expect
that he would be defeated by such a little woman like Cheryl.
The dust settled.
Cheryl let out a long sigh as she covered her chest with her hands.
She said to Alex with a smile, âYou saved my life. What should I do? Should I devote myself to you?â
After taking a peek at that beautiful curvy body of hers, he said while averting his gaze, âDonât tease
me. Iâm weak to teases.â
A dash of flicker appeared in Cherylâs eyes. âWhat is it? Your wife, Dorothy still doesnât let you touch
her? What is she thinking about? She should either live well with you or get divorced as soon as
possible and give the opportunity to someone else.â
Alex blurted out, âTo you?â
Cheryl half-jokingly said, âThatâs fine. If you dare to get divorced, Iâll dare to marry you.â
With that, Alex could not refute her.
Cheryl said with a light hum, âCoward, donât tease me next time.â
They had dinner for about two hours.
After that, both of them waved goodbyes at the junction and returned to their home respectively.
Not only Cheryl had given him a hundred-year-old ginseng, but also the medicine that she had
dispensed. After returning to Maple Villa, Alex immediately prepared to boil the medicine for Brittany.
The wild ginseng weighed about a hundred grams.
Since Brittany did not need such an amount of ginseng, so Alex only cut it into one fifth for her and
stored the remaining portions in case of unforeseeable needs. After all, the hundred-year-old ginseng
was decent enough to save lives.
The next day, at the headquarters of Assex Constructions.
Many higher-ups from the Assex family had gathered together, including the two Assexes brothers, the
juniors and the head of the family, Madame Joanne.
Although Alex and Dorothy had downplayed that the deal with Waylon Realty had been irrevocably
sealed. However, as long as the contract had not been seen by them, the seed of doubt would be
sowed.
âGrandma. If Dorothy has actually signed the contract, then do we really need to give 70% of the
subsidiary company shares in City South?â Emma said with vitriol as she was embarrassed that after
getting the position of general manager in the subsidiary company, she was removed within a day.
Madame Joanne gritted her teeth as she heard Dorothyâs name.
âSheâs dreaming!â
Emma danced in joy. âThatâs right. We can kick out Dorothy as soon as we get hold of the contract.â
Soon after, Dorothy came and Alex followed behind her.
