âWhat?!â âWhatâs going on?! The captain of the Special Brigade actually shows so much respect for
Alex Rockefeller, and even called him âchiefâ?! What kind of chief was Alex Rockefeller?!â
âI donât know! Could it be that heâs also a member of the Special Brigade now? The way he jumped
down from the eighth floor just now really makes it seem like he had the essence of the king of war,
but⦠Why does it feel so mysterious?â
Many people from Dorothy-Alex Construction knew Alex.
Not long ago, before Alex and Dorothy had gotten divorce, her younger sister, Beatrice, had personally
brought Felix Shephard from Pegasus International to publicly propose to Dorothy. Who didnât know
about Alexâs great name, with all those rumors floating around the company?
And, the most surprised person among them was Dorothyâs secretary, Christy.
Christy knew more about Alex than the others. Looking at him right now, she only had a feeling that he
had changed and should be judged anew after even a short absence!

However, Alex was slightly startled when he looked at Craig Selby, who stood in front of him. âYou
know me?â
âThat day at Maple Villaâ¦â Craig said.
When he said this, he abruptly woke up. He remembered that certain things must be kept secret from
the public, so he immediately clamped up. Then, he leaned closer to Alexâs ears and whispered a few
words.
Only then did Alex realize that a few days ago, the Johansson family, one of the four great families in
California, had sent out five hundred Golden Dragon Warriors to rush to Maple Villa in a grandiose
manner. In the end, Alex had killed thirty one Mystic ranked martial artists with a swing of his sword.
Later, Sky Melvis and Zachary Xavier from Divine Constabulary appearedâ¦
Then, dozens of armed vehicles had also come to take away the Golden Dragon Warriors. At that time,
Craig was among the men who had appeared.
After understanding Craigâs background, Alex could no longer carry out the intention of forcefully
suppressing everyone here using his overwhelming advantage.
However, his original purpose here was only Jacob Yoder.
At this moment, the hanging Ysabel on the eighth floor didnât see the exchange between Alex and
Craig. Her eyes were closed as she immersed in her own horrifying world. She didnât dare to look down
at all. She waited for a long time but didnât hear anyone coming to save her, so she immediately started
yelling, âDad, Daddy! Hurry up and save me! I donât want to die!â
âHurry up and catch that wretched couple! I want them to sit in prison, I want them to die without a
trace!â Jacob Yoderâs expression darkened.
Though he recognized Alexâs identity, that didnât mean that he was afraid at all. It was true that a year
ago, he had set William Rockefeller up for treason and colluding with the enemy, but so what? He really
had gotten his hands on the evidence, regardless of the fact that the evidence was forged.
However, the blame of this matter couldnât be traced to him.
He walked up with a cold face and said to Craig, âCaptain Selby, what is the meaning of this? There are
so many people watching at the scene. Everyone has seen how this fellow deliberately hurt so many
people and even put my daughter in such a dangerous situation. Why arenât you all making a move
yet? Are you waiting for my daughter to fall from the eighth floor? Who will be responsible if my
daughter dies?â
However, Craig looked at Alex, as though he was waiting for his instructions.
This small action made Jacobâs eyebrows twitched wildly. He still didnât understand it. What in the world
was Alexâs identity?
Could it be that his identity was even greater than his position as the deputy mayor?
It was because Jacob had been involved personally in the matter, so he had paid close attention to
Alex in secret for a period of time. He later found out that this man was just a good-for-nothing. After
the accident of his parents, he had been in a wretched condition and he only managed to make ends
meet by relying on his wife. He didnât make any contribution, and he didnât have any doubts about the
accident either. Later, Jacob stopped paying attention to him.
Never did he expect that such a strange scene would unfold in front of him right now.
âTake them down!â Alex said indifferently as he looked at Jacob.
Craig made his move in the next moment.
Jacob was just an ordinary person and he wasnât very young. He would usually be out of breath just by
walking up the stairs. So, how could he avoid Craigâs capture? In almost a secondâs time, Craig had
both of Jacobâs arms behind him and pressed up against his back.
âCraig Selby, are you rebelling?!â
âDo you know what youâre doing?â
âDo you not want your job anymore?!ââ
This temporary defection made some people who were watching completely bewildered.
