Alex lifted his arm gently. With this, Lord Lex straightened up after being lifted by an unknown force.
âWhoâs Janice? This guy canât be your love child, right?â Alex seemed puzzled as he said, âIf thatâs the
case, it wouldnât hurt to spare his life.â
Lord Lex immediately shook his head.
âNo, no. Janice was just a nanny of mine.â With that, Lord Lex then noticed that Alexâs gaze glistened
with sparkle, with a look of trying to get to the
bottom of the matter. He smiled bitterly. âAlright, Iâll be honest with you, Mr. Rockefeller. I did have a
history with Janice for a period of time, but this woman was a sl*t, she had other guys andâ¦â
Lord Lex let his words trail off, unable to finish his sentence.
Alex smiled and did not ask further. Instead, he pointed at the people on the ground. âAre they also
members
of Thousand Miles Conglomerate?â
Lord Lex replied, âNo, we Thousand Miles Conglomerate would never do such vile things. Or else, the
officials would have arrested us ages ago!â
Alex said, âTake them away then. Since theyâre just posing to be your people, Iâll let you deal with
them.â
Lord Lex immediately ordered his men to take them away.
As for how Lord Lex would deal with them, Alex didnât deign to ask. They would probably end up just
like Wolf too. However, people like them deserved to die.
They were
extremely greedy for having the guts to come to such a huge establishment like City Salon and
demanded for
three hundred million dollars. Alex figured that they wouldâve done the same to many others as well.
Who
knew how many were forced to an edge, resulting in the fate of being destitute and homeless. Hence,
even if those people were dead, they deserved it.
It was just enforcement of justice in place of God. At that moment, Hailey was already stunned. Her
beautiful eyes widened and kept winking, as if she were
hoping to find out some secrets on the faces of the two men. âHailey, let me introduce you. This is Lex
Gunther from Thousand Miles Conglomerate.â
Alex pulled her
over and introduced him. He then introduced Lord Lex to Hailey, and said, âLord Lex, This is my
godsister, Hailey Lawson, who is also the owner of Belle Blossom.â
Lex smiled as he said, âItâs a pleasure to meet you, Miss Lawson.â He even shook Haileyâs hand, which
surprised Hailey even more. Just then, some officials arrived at the salon, led by the captain of the
Ministry of Crime in California, Tony
Lee.
Tony was well acquainted with Alex, he knew Alexâs identity in Divine Constabulary as well. He had
received a report that hundreds of Thousand Miles Conglomerate members had gathered here at City
Salon, and all of them were skilled martial artists. He was worried that some gang fights might happen,
resulting in large-scale casualties. Hence, he had brought his team over for investigation.
If something like
that were to really happen in broad daylight, the impact would be great. Not only would it affect
Californiaâs
reputation, but it would affect the careers of many other powerful figures as well.
However, he froze as soon as he entered the salon. Tony said, âMr. Rockefeller, Lord Lex, you guys
areâ¦
What are you trying to do with so many men?
I have a weak heart, so please donât be rash!â
Lex laughed. âLook at you, you scaredy-cat. How are you going to protect law-abiding, good citizens
like
us?â Meanwhile, Alex said, âOh, itâs you, Captain Lee. Nothing really, thatâs it. I just took over City Salon
today, so my friends from Thousand Miles Conglomerate came to support and congratulate me.â
Tony was a bit puzzled. âThis place, it seems to be an establishment for females, right?â
Lord Lex replied, âThatâs why I ordered them to wait outside! What is it? Canât my men stand there for a
while?â
Tony smiled bitterly. âLord Lex, thereâs just too many of them! That wonât be good. Look, youâve caused
a
traffic jam just by coming here.
Why donât you have them leave, please?â
Lord Lex replied, âYou can have the traffic police to fine me for this. I donât mind, Iâll take it.â
Tony fell speechless. In the end, Alex spoke up, âAlright, alright. Lord Lex, you should have your men
leave.
If you let them stay, youâd scare my customers too.â
Lord Lex immediately said, âAlright, Iâll leave now. From now on, Iâll make sure to protect both City
Salon
and Belle Blossom. I promise you that no one would come looking for trouble again.â With this, he
ordered hundreds of men to leave the salon immediately.

Hailey pushed Alex to the sofa in the CEOâs office. Alex looked at her nervously, thinking that she was
about to eat him up. However, she put her hands on her hips and said, âBro, how many more surprises
do you have for me?
Youâre like a treasure chest, you know?
Itâs like I keep finding more and more treasure as I dig, itâs
endless.â Alex smiled as he said, âWell, isnât that supposed to be a good thing? You can just keep
digging.â
âThatâs Lord Lex weâre talking about though. Heâs the absolute power in the underworld of California.
How
could he actually⦠Obey you with no hesitation?â
