Alex Rockefeller never wouldâve guessed that he would bump into the sexy bikini woman here.
Meanwhile, one of the men who walked next to the bikini woman was Michelle Yowellâs eldest brother,
Colin Yowell.
Alex didnât recognize the other two men next to her, one of which was a young and the other an old
man.
When Michelle saw the bikini woman, she immediately made a face. âAnna Coleman, why are you
here? What are you doing in my house?â Michelle asked in a cold voice.
âItâs none of your business,â Anna answered emotionlessly.
Michelle snorted. âYouâre in my house. Why are you still behaving like a snob?â
âBrother, thereâs no point in waiting around for her. Some women are born b*tches. They treat those
who are nice to them like dirt, but they would run laps for those who donât care about them. There are
plenty more women who are better than her in my school. Iâll introduce a few of them to you one day,â
Michelle said to Colin.
Colin sighed softly. There was a sad look in his eyes.
Alex could tell that it was a case of unrequited love. Colin had feelings for Anna, but she did not return
those feelings.
âWho are you calling a b*tch? Michelle Yowell, you asked for it! Iâm going to teach you a lesson!â Anna
shouted angrily.
She actually had a worse temper than Michelle. As soon as the disagreement occurred, Anna
proceeded to attack Michelle.
With a swift move, Anna invoked all her inner energy and struck Michelle with a punch.
âPeak-Royal rank!â
Alexâs eyes glistened. He was slightly surprised that Annaâs capability was at a level similar to Waltz
Fleurâs. He didnât realize this back when the car accident happened.
However, Michelle was only at the Intermediate-Royal rank. On top of that, she suffered from an injury
two days ago and had not fully recovered from it.
Although Anna didnât use all her might with this punch, Michelle could easily get injured if she tried to
fight back
Just as Michelle was about to strike out, Alex pulled her away and grabbed Annaâs fist with his hand.
Annaâs attack was instantly blocked. She felt as if the impact of her punch had been completely
absorbed, but Alex didnât show any expression on his face.
âWhat? Is this fellow a martial artist too?â Anna thought with surprise. But she very soon realized that it
was a good thing. Although she might have stopped herself from hitting a normal person, she wouldnât
hold back against a martial artist.
To her surprise, Alex looked at Colin and started speaking. âYour sister is right. Love is like a
relationship between a key and a lock. It will only work if the two are a match. Otherwise, her lock
wouldnât be opened by you even if you stayed with her for the rest of your life,â Alex said.
Michelle laughed out loudly.
âAlex, thatâs a perfect metaphor. Annaâs lock is indeed broken. Itâs gone rusty. Even if you oil it up with
lubricant and try to open it with a multi-purpose key, it wouldnât work. You shouldnât waste your time,â
Michelle added.
Anna was extremely upset.
Alex actually compared her to a lock. On top of that, Michelle insinuated some very upsetting things
about her.
Meanwhile, Alex was still holding onto Annaâs fist. Since he stood in between Anna and Michelle, he
naturally became Annaâs target to vent her anger.
âGet out of my way! â Anna shouted.
She invoked her inner force and directed it at Alex. 50% of her inner force was activated.
However, Alex didnât even budge. His hand was still wrapped around her fist. It was almost as if he
didnât feel anything.
80% of her inner force was activated.
Alex still didnât move.
Stunned, Anna let out a loud cry. âDragon-Tusk Punch!â
100% of her inner force was activated.
âBe careful, Alex,â Michelle warned.
Alex could sense the energy emitted from Annaâs body. The Dragon-Tusk Punch she used enabled her
to channel all her inner force to one focal point for a heavy hit. Unfortunately, Alex had yet to establish
foundations for such high-level martial art techniques.
However, he had an unbelievably strong defense, shocking speed, and great observational skills.
