Chapter 307
His Lordship Alexander Kane
âSir Kane!â
Upon seeing Alexander at the entrance, Wanda tearfully latched onto him like he was her lifeline.
He made it. He was finally there!
Moments before, she had feared he and Ray had fled in the Porsche. To her relief, they remained.
In the most desperate moment, Alex had not let her down. He was like the first light of dawn breaking through the darkness,
saving her once more from Marcusâ evil grasp.
Alexâs embrace was her sanctuary, a place of endless comfort even when he stood alone.
âRay,â
Alexander calmly stepped slightly to the side, gently releasing Wanda from his hold. He then turned to Ray, who stood behind
him, and said quietly, âGet Miss Briers to the car.â
Ray did not miss a beat. He dashed in from outside the Briers, this way, please!â
âSir Kane...â
a gave Wanda a respectful bow, and said, âMiss
Wanda bit her lip, her gaze lingering on Alexander with a mix of emotions before she reluctantly followed Ray out the door and
settled into the back seat of the Porsche. Nearby, Kelvin and his parents huddled together, peeking into the villaâs yard from
behind Ray, visibly shaken.
âMister Marcus Ledger!â
In the courtyard, Andrew, Hec, and Hunter retreated to Marcusâ side. They glanced at the eight fallen bodyguards, then at
Alexander, who stood at the entrance. Their voices shook as they spoke.
âIt was him! Heâs the one who chopped off our fingers!â
âThat guy Ray, heâs just a martial artist with vital energy tricks. Alexander gave him a few tips, and just like that, he took us down
with a single move!â
Their words were no exaggeration.
To them, Alexanderâs abilities were off the charts. The way he sliced off their fingers with such force and speed was something
not even the fighter community's Grandmaster could match, let alone be replicated in action movies.
That was no cinematic stunt-it was the real deal.
âIs your last name Kane?â
Marcus stood at the top of the living room steps, looking down at Alexander condescendingly. There was not a hint of fear on his
face, only a smirk of disdain. âYou roughed up my guys back in Olâ Mare, but this isnât Ol Mare-this is Zabaleta!

Marcus loomed at the top of the living room steps, his cruel smile wider than ever. âMiss Briers, you seem fond of running. How
about another try?â he taunted.
âStrip and make your way to the second-floor bedroom. We've got all night, and Iâm going to enjoy every moment of it,â he
sneered with a twisted joy.
Panic surged through Wanda, her heart pounding against her ribs. She could not think, could only run toward the back door of
the villa, her voice rising in a desperate plea, âSir Kane, save me, please save me!â
Sir Kane?
A flicker of confusion crossed Marcus's face, then anger. âCatch her!â he roared.
Like a trio of predators, Andrew, Hec, and Hunter sprang into action, closing the distance in a heartbeat, nearly
upon Wanda.
In a split second, as lightningâquick as their approach, something unexpected happened.
Aloud crash echoed through the night.
Amere ten meters away, the massive door, crafted from alloy steel, burst apart with a thunderous crash. It shattered like fragile
scrap metal, scattering debris across the sky. Amid the flying shards, seven or eight figures were flung to the ground in a chaotic
heap.
âWhat the...â
The three onlookersâ eyes widened in shock, and they stumbled backward, their hearts racing as they caught sight of the young
man standing in the doorway.
It was him!
The same guy who, back at Sunlight Club, casually outsmarted a burly, dark-skinned man, taking down two of the fighting
communityâs Grandmasters with ease, and even snipping off their thumbs.
Alexander, the formidable youth!

âI've heard about Alexander in Olâ Mare, a guy who took over the underground with some pretty slick moves.
Thatâs you. Isnât it?
âWandaâs boldness suddenly made sense. She had you in her corner all along. What a shame, such a crying shame. Sheâs
clueless about the lengths the Ledger family will go to!â
Alexander strolled into the yard, hands casually behind his back, stepping away from the chaos of the villaâs entrance. He
watched Marcus with a distant, detached gaze as if he were looking at a corpse.
To Alexander, Marcus was nothing more than a waste of space, better off buried and forgotten.
âLet's cut to the chase, Alexander. What's your price?â Marcus tried to gauge Alexanderâs reaction, a hint of at challenge in his
brow before he broke into a mocking sneer.
âEveryone has their price, and you're no different. Fifteen million? A hundred fifty million? Money is the least of the Ledger
familyâs worries!
âThe Ledger family would like to be on your good side. Donât bite the hand that feeds you. Just as long as you-
Alexanderâs eyes dropped; cutting through the nonsense with a quiet command, âApologize.â
Marcus was momentarily stunned, clearly having misunderstood. He threw his head back and laughed heartily. âAlexander,
you're funnier than I thought! An apology? If sorry was worth anything, we wouldnât need
fists!
âLet me make it clear: In this little town of Zabaleta, the Ledger family rules. We are the law, the very sky! Expecting a small-time
celebrity to apologize to me is the biggest joke of all!â
Alexander just shook his head slowly, unamused.
He once pegged Marcus as just another pompous bully, throwing his weight around. It was clear he was beyond helpâa
complete fool.
âYou lack emotional smarts, and you think too highly of yourself.â
His eyes fixed on Marcus, calm and unflinching, his voice emotionless. âI mean it. You owe Miss Briers an
apology.
âAn apology might not keep you breathing, but without one, youâre signing your own death warrant!â
