Before Jasmine called Alex, he was at Sakura Club. Initially, Alex wanted to craft some pills using the thousand–year–old purple ginseng. He intended to use half of it to create some Pills of Longevity, while the other half would be used for the Big Pills of Cultivation. 

With his current level of Mortal Force, only the Big Pill of Cultivation would have an effect on his body. 

Yet, his plans were interrupted. Alex found himself fuming with anger after he received Jasmine’s call. 

He wasn’t angry that Heather was on a date with another man. 

Instead, Alex was furious that Heather had gotten Dylan hurt. After all, Dylan was a sworn brother of Alex’s. 

Immediately, Alex set his navigation toward Palatial Bar and drove there in haste. 

Midway through his journey, Alex halted in front of a red light. To kill some time, he rolled down the car window and lit up a cigarette. 

All of a sudden, Alex felt that something was amiss. Promptly, he leaned back as a bullet whizzed across the front of his face before it collided against the car window and shattered the glass. If Alex hadn’t ducked in time, the bullet would have been lodged in his head. Fortunately, his gut instincts had saved his life. 

Before Alex could delve on his near escape from death, he stomped on the gas and sped off into the empty road. 

As soon as Alex stepped on the gas, the R8 lived up to its name as a sports car. In the span of two seconds, it covered several hundred meters. 

At the same time, Alex spotted a Cadillac through the rear–view mirror. The Cadillac was hot on his heels. 

Immediately, Alex realized that the shooter who aimed for him had to be in the Cadillac too. 

In the distance, a wave of cars began to approach Alex as he ran the red light earlier. 

Left with no choice, Alex was forced to hit the brakes as he weaved around the oncoming cars before stopping at the roadside. 

Although Alex managed to avoid any collisions, the other drivers were not as skilled as him. As Alex skirted around their cars, they panicked and swerved into each other. 

Nonetheless, Alex ignored them. He stopped his car and hid behind it to observe the Cadillac. 

Unlike Alex, the Cadillac was not so fortunate as it crashed into another car. Promptly, a burly man, along with a middle–aged man, jumped out of the wrecked Cadillac. 

The middle–aged man caught Alex’s attention. 

Alex noticed that he was dressed in traditional clothing. As soon as the man emerged from the Cadillac, his gaze darted toward Alex’s hiding spot. 

The man’s bright gaze resembled the deadly glint of a blade. From his ferocious stare, Alex deduced that this man had to be a Master ranked fighter. 

“A Master ranked fighter? Is he someone from the Tokugawa family?” Alex mumbled under his breath.

Chapter 562 Assassination Attempt 

Alex narrowed his eyes. It looks like I’ve incurred the Tokugawa family’s wrath.

The Tokugawa family had considerable power and influence in Jetroina because they were one of the five noble families. The fighters in their family were famous for their ferocious reputations. Since Alex defeated Haruko and forced her to sign a ten billion IOU, it was inevitable that she’d be vengeful. After she returned to Jetroina, Haruko must have dispatched the Tokugawa fighters to get revenge on Alex. 

During their fight, Alex had held back. However, Haruko’s attempt to assassinate him filled him with murderous intent. 

Although Alex wasn’t one to hold a grudge, he could not overlook this incident. Since the Tokugawa family were the ones who attacked me first, I will hunt them down with my bare hands and put an end to their family! 

“Come on out,” the middle–aged man called out as he stopped a few meters away from Alex’s car. 

There was a hint of Cranur accent in the man’s tone. 

According to the fabled myths, many legendary martial artists trained and grew up in Cranur, making Cranur famous for its martial arts.
