Chapter 37
The man looked at Alex with an uncanny gaze.
“Do the iron which is mined here is sent to the Brigade. If yes, I think I can confirm something and have a message for you.”
The entire room went silent and each of them looked at each other.
“Yeah!” The man with a scar nodded. He didn’t find anything odd and thought even if this man is lying, what can a punny ant like him do?
He just needs to confirm the truth with his clients.
Alex smiled like an angel and spoke”Thanks. Mister for answering.”
“Now you can die in peace.” Alex’s voice became sharp and he raised his hand and pulled down a blade from his sleeves and threw it at the scar shaped man.
Loud laughter was heard which broke down the silence.
The scarred man caught Alex’s dagger with his two fingers, but a small cut was formed on his finger which was barely noticeable.
“You sure have guts, kiddo.”
“Laying low until you can take your opponent but alas.”
The man clicked his tongue and looked at the man with pity and ordered”Kill him.”
As soon as his command fell, the two men beside Alex pounced on him and threw their fists at him.
Alex looked at the incoming fist with a bored gaze and sidestepped and titled his head after calculating their trajectory accurately.
The two men missed Alex and instead their fists went toward each other.
Although they were able to stop themselves from hitting each other Alex jumped on them and held both of their heads, slamming both their heads against each other.
BANG!
They felt as if their worlds were spinning and they lost consciousness.
Another man ran towards Alex and raised his leg, and kicked aiming at Alex’s head.
Alex just raised his hand and blocked the blow and before the man could retract his leg, he felt a sudden pain in his cheek and was unable to react as his figure flew in the air as Alex kicked him.
BANG!
A loud voice thundered and a figure was blown away and slammed against the wall.
After kicking, a silhouette appeared before him and caught him by surprise and punched him.
Alex raised both of his hands to defend.
BANG!BANG!
Alex’s figure was shot at him and he collided against the wall.
Cough…Cough…
Alex coughed a little as dust entered his nasal passage and he was barely able to get on his feet. When his body reacted on its own, bending his back, he tilted his body to the side.
DURUM!
Another loud voice was heard which shook the whole room, Alex somersaulted backwards and gained a distance.
As dust practices started to disperse, he saw that the scarred man had joined the fight and punched, making a huge hole and crack in the wall which extended quite deep into the rocky wall.
Swishhhhh…
A figure shot toward Alex and punched them.
Alex didn’t shrink, rather his heartbeat started to beat faster with excitement, wanting to test the very limit of his physical strength and clenching his left tightly, he punched with all his might with his left hand.
BANG!
A loud shockwave was emitted from the punch that blew away the chair, tables and the people that Alex knocked out.
The only light coming from the burning lantern was blown away and the glass burst along with the fire burning inside and the wooden table started to catch fire.
The sleeves of a shirt that Alex wore were torn by the backlash of the force.
And with the clash, Alex was forced to step back a little.
In the clash, the scarred man had the upper hand.
The guard outside the door hit the door and shouted if anything was wrong but the scared man smiled and said”Don’t worry, everything is in control. I am just enjoying it.”
“Isn’t it?” The man asked as he looked at Alex with a smile. He was quite curious about this kid who was able to exert such strength without being awakened and thought that if he was able to break him down and get his secrets, he could earn a huge sum.
Alex sneered as he was able to guess the man’s thoughts.
Alex rolled his other sleeve and raised his fist, he assumed the martial arts stance.
The scarred man looked at Alex with amusement as some sort of entertainer and his image blurred.
Appearing in front of Alex, he was about to punch him in his face, a small cracking sound was heard and the man’s face distorted and he screamed”Arghh!
He jumped back but he wasn’t able to as Alex had stepped on his toes and used his toe crusher to move and crushed his toe bones.
“Bastard!Fighting Dirty.” The man screamed and tried to punch but Alex made a chopping gesture and hit his wrist and deflected the trajectory of the punch and pulled back his left fist, hitting him hard in the gut.
The scarred man’s round fatty stomach rumbled a little, a huge pressure burst forth from his back and a circular shaped hole appeared on the back of his clothes and the man puked.
He started to feel dizzy.
“Give up,” Alex spoke with a sharp tone.
“You have no chance from the beginning.”
“What do you mean?” The scarred man asked with a dumbfounded expression as he felt quite weak and dizzy.
“The dagger that you held was poisoned and the poison had seeped into your body from the cut. The more you fight the weaker you become.”
The scarred man looked at Alex with wide eyes full of horror and disbelief.
Alex chuckled seeing the man’s reaction and rubbed his hair and said”I remembered, you said that I can’t even touch a single strand of hair.”
“But now not only I am touching it. I will also take some of it.” Alex muttered as his red eyes glowed under the dim-lit room and holding a bunch of hair, he pulled it mercilessly.
“I am gonna pull each strand of your hair.”
The man screamed and a pain-stricken wail echoed throughout the room.
The man who was guarding the place shivered on hearing the voice.
“The leader is surely enjoying it a lot.” One of them spoke.
“Hahaha.What’s new in that. Did you forget how cruel our leader is? He would break the bones one by one and then enjoy seeing the man begging in pain.” The man spoke and was about to laugh when something hit him making him lose his consciousness.
