“What?!” “What’s going on?! The captain of the Special Brigade actually shows so much respect for Alex Rockefeller, and even called him ‘chief’?! What kind of chief was Alex Rockefeller?!”
“I don’t know! Could it be that he’s also a member of the Special Brigade now? The way he jumped down from the eighth floor just now really makes it seem like he had the essence of the king of war, but… Why does it feel so mysterious?”
Many people from Dorothy-Alex Construction knew Alex.
Not long ago, before Alex and Dorothy had gotten divorce, her younger sister, Beatrice, had personally brought Felix Shephard from Pegasus International to publicly propose to Dorothy. Who didn’t know about Alex’s great name, with all those rumors floating around the company?
And, the most surprised person among them was Dorothy’s secretary, Christy.
Christy knew more about Alex than the others. Looking at him right now, she only had a feeling that he had changed and should be judged anew after even a short absence!

However, Alex was slightly startled when he looked at Craig Selby, who stood in front of him. “You know me?”
“That day at Maple Villa…” Craig said.
When he said this, he abruptly woke up. He remembered that certain things must be kept secret from the public, so he immediately clamped up. Then, he leaned closer to Alex’s ears and whispered a few words.
Only then did Alex realize that a few days ago, the Johansson family, one of the four great families in California, had sent out five hundred Golden Dragon Warriors to rush to Maple Villa in a grandiose manner. In the end, Alex had killed thirty one Mystic ranked martial artists with a swing of his sword. Later, Sky Melvis and Zachary Xavier from Divine Constabulary appeared…
Then, dozens of armed vehicles had also come to take away the Golden Dragon Warriors. At that time, Craig was among the men who had appeared.
After understanding Craig’s background, Alex could no longer carry out the intention of forcefully suppressing everyone here using his overwhelming advantage.
However, his original purpose here was only Jacob Yoder.
At this moment, the hanging Ysabel on the eighth floor didn’t see the exchange between Alex and Craig. Her eyes were closed as she immersed in her own horrifying world. She didn’t dare to look down at all. She waited for a long time but didn’t hear anyone coming to save her, so she immediately started yelling, “Dad, Daddy! Hurry up and save me! I don’t want to die!”
