Chapter 10 Unfazed, Joseph was standing still. Meanwhile, Jaylah was trampled under Josephâs feet. All the while, he was shrieking in agony. There were hundreds of men around! Glancing at Joseph with a cold look, Alex said, âItâs been ten minutes. Those two would have run far away by now. Shouldnât you let Jaylah go already?â Joseph sneered, âDid I mention that Iâll let him go?â Alex narrowed his eyes. While heavily breathing, he smirked. âYou are making a fool out of me...â âMr. Kennedy, why are we playing nice with this good-for-nothing? Letâs slash him to death!â âThatâs right. He wouldnât dare to lay another finger on Jaylah.
Otherwise, he would definitely die.â The man beside Alex said as he pointed his knife at Joseph. When Joseph heard this, he let out a chuckle. However, this chuckle of his carried an overwhelming amount of killing intent. In fact, he glanced at Alex as though he were looking at a dead man. Inexplicably, Alex felt a chill down his spine and involuntarily took a step back. âAlex, you should be glad that youâre not the father of this b*stard. Otherwise... You and this group of gangsters wouldnât be able to stand here any longer,â Joseph . threatened. Alexâs face immediately darkened as he glared at Joseph. âDo you really think that you can disrespect everyone just because youâre an experienced soldier? Do you think you have the right to threaten me?â âLet Jaylah go, or else... The 300 men behind me will attack right away!â There was a hint of mockery in Josephâs eyes. In fact, he was completely uninterested in fighting a group of hooligans. At this time, Alpha 7 appeared on a roof behind Alex, along with two other warriors from Dragon Temple. On the roof, Alpha 7âs robe rustled in the strong breeze of the night. âWhy would Mr. Dawson need to take the matter into his own hands? Youâre just a bunch of garbage,â Alpha 7 said arrogantly. âYouâre counting on this bunch of garbage to protect your safety. I must say... Youâre very naive!â Alex suddenly turned around, only to discover Alpha 7 and the other two.
âYou are indeed arrogant. I spoke to you politely, but you all regard me as a pushover. Now even nobodies like you dare speak to me like that?â Alex coldly instructed, âKill...â Upon receiving the order, dozens of men rushed toward Alpha 7 and the other two with sticks in their hands. Revealing a cold smirk, Alpha 7 jumped down from the roof. Then, he charged at Alex at an extremely fast speed! Boom! Boom! Boom! The men were knocked away one by one, and no one was able to stop them. âImpossible! This is impossible!â Alexâs expression changed drastically. Dozens of men could not stop three people? However, Alpha 7 was too fast! Earlier, Paige was still around. Otherwise, he would have taken action long ago. After all, Paigeâs safety was of the utmost priority at the time. By this point, Paige was already sent away, so why would Joseph need to join the fight personally? Boom!
Boom! Boom! One punk after another was kicked away and knocked down. Alpha 7 broke through the barrier with his extraordinary courage and appeared in front of Alex. The dagger, shining with a blinding cold light, was placed on Alexâs neck.
Even Alex could sense the sharpness of the blade. âDonât move, or youâll lose your head.â Alpha 7 was pleased, and his tone was even more playful.
Drip! Alex was covered in a cold sweat! Indeed, Alex seemed to be frozen. If he had not witnessed with his own eyes, he would never believe it. Of course, at this time, his men seemed to be more surprised than him! Meanwhile, the two other warriors from Dragon Temple took control of Jaylah.
Joseph then slowly walked up to Alex, who had lost all his courage at this point, and said, âTell Brandon Kennedy that I have taken his son away.â âThree days later, go to the mansion in the East to get him back! Iâm the fairest man in the world. Iâll do whatever he did to my daughter. Donât try to save him. Otherwise... I canât guarantee if his head would remain at its original position.â
After saying that, Joseph stepped away. Alpha 7 grinned and let go of Alex. Then, he slowly followed behind Joseph and the others. Alex dared not pursue any further. After all, he had already sensed that his life was in danger moments ago. Joseph definitely had the ability to kill him, but he did not do so. This indicated that what he said was true. Indeed, Alex was glad that he was not Jaylahâs father. Otherwise, he would definitely lose his life already! âWho exactly are you?â Alex was terrified. âBoss, what should we do? Should we continue chasing them?â Alex glared at his men angrily. âChase? Do you want to die?â âWill we do nothing but watch Jaylah being taken away?â Alex gave the man a slap as he was too lazy to explain. âOtherwise, should I fight those men to death?â No matter what, he only had one life. After all, he had already experienced a near death experience from Alpha 7âs dagger. If he really went after them, Joseph and the others would kill him without hesitation. Moreover, he was only Jaylahâs uncle, not his father! Deep down, Alex was incredibly shocked. Joseph was definitely an expert. Both Joseph and his men had the demeanors of experienced soldiers, so they must have joined the army in the past. Alex wanted to leave, but his legs were so weak! Then, he suddenly thought... If his brother were the one who arrived at the scene instead, wouldnât the Kennedy family be eliminated that night? âJaylah, you must be insane,â Alex scolded in his heart. âWith your status, what kind of women canât you get? What kind of female celebrity canât you date? Are you a f*cking idiot? Why would you hurt someoneâs family members?â Indeed, Alex was furious. At this point, it was already out of his hands. Thus, he had no choice but to seek his brother for further actions. âLetâs go back! Help me up,â scolded Alex. What an inconsiderate underling! As such, he rushed to the Kennedy family residence with his men! Anyway, Brandon was the wealthiest man in Apren City, not to mention that he had a wide network of connections! With his elder brotherâs intervention, Alex believed that the matter would be solved rather easily.
Of course, the army was fearsome, but this was a capitalistic society after all.
Just as Alex was about to leave, Bethany came back. After all, she promised Paige that she would try her best to save Joseph.
However, when she arrived, she found that Alex and the others were about to leave, but she did not see Jaylah and Joseph at all. Bethany was stunned. Where did Joseph go?
âWhereâs Joseph? Where did you guys send him?â
