Chapter 320
Four felt her cheeks burn as embarrassment flooded her veins.
If there had been a hole nearby, she would’ve dived into it instantly.
She cursed herself silently-had she known Alex would hold such a fierce grudge, she never would have mocked him.
Nearby, Hugh groaned, slowly regaining consciousness.
He pushed himself upright, confusion etched across his face.
“Must’ve tripped over my own damn feet,” he muttered.
Alex stared at him, eyes narrowed in disbelief.
Did this fool really not realize what had happened to him-the danger he was in? Or was his arrogance so thick it had blinded him?
Seeing Alex’s silence, Hugh’s lips twisted into a smug grin.
“What’s the matter, kid? Cat got your tongue now that you’ve seen what real level- fifty power looks like? You’d better be shaking in your boots, boy p>
“You’re nothing compared to me-like a bug under my boot p>
“I’ll toss you one measly chance: grovel at my feet and smash your skull against the floor. Maybe, just maybe, I’ll grace you with my pity p>
Alex shook his head slowly, pity mixed with disdain on his face.
“So what if you’re level fifty? A superhuman with some fancy inner energy? You think you’re special, tough guy p>
“Hate to break it to you, but you can be killed just as easy as any man. Wake up and face reality, idiot p>
Hugh scoffed loudly, mocking laughter echoing across the space.
“Kill me? Boy, you really don’t understand, do you? People like me appear once in a million—superhumans who break level fifty p>
“I’m not just some nobody; I’m ranked top in the entire country! You think you can handle me p>
Hugh raised his hand, the air trembling around him.
“Feel this!” he bellowed, unleashing a powerful blast of energy that roared toward Alex like an unstoppable storm.
Alex stood rooted, indifferent and unmoving.
The fierce wave crashed against him, and yet he remained untouched, unfazed by Hugh’s desperate show of force.
Hugh’s eyes widened, confusion flickering across his arrogant face.
He glanced down at his hand, doubt creeping into his mind. “Did I mess that up somehow p>
Alex, annoyed by the tiresome drama, strode toward Hugh, his face a mask of boredom.
“Fine! You asked for it!” Hugh roared as Alex advanced. He gathered his strength and unleashed an even more powerful wave of inner energy, aiming it straight at his enemy.
The violent power surge radiated outward, forcing Four and her team to stumble backward, gasping for air.
Fear gripped them, their hearts racing.
“Is this what a real superhuman is? Terrifying,” someone whispered anxiously from the team.
Alex merely curled his lip, unimpressed. “Pathetic,” he spat.
With lightning-fast precision, Alex swung his hand, landing a devastating slap on Hugh’s arrogant face.
The blow echoed sharply, throwing Hugh off his feet and sending him spiraling helplessly through the air before crashing headfirst onto the hard ground.
Silence filled the air. Shocked faces stared, mouths agape.
No one moved, no one breathed—until finally, someone managed a disbelieving shout:
“What the hell just happened p>
Everyone stared, mouths hanging open, frozen in disbelief at the sudden chaos.
Hugh—the villain they’d all feared moments ago-now sprawled on the ground, knocked flat by Alex’s casual slap.
Was it luck, a misstep, or something far more dangerous?
Hugh sat up slowly, blinking hard to clear the stars from his eyes.
“What…what just happened?” His voice was thick with confusion.
He remembered nothing but darkness swallowing him before slamming painfully into the floor.
Four yelled, “You bastard! You are knocked clean down p>
“Impossible!” Hugh barked defensively. “There’s no way he got me I must’ve slipped! It had to be a fluke p>
Jasmien burst into mocking laughter, her voice sharp as glass.
“You’re truly hopeless, Hugh! All muscle and zero brains-no wonder you hit the ground p>
Humiliation burning bright in his eyes, Hugh shot back onto his feet, rage coursing through his veins.
“Shut up! That was nothing! Let’s see if he can handle this p>
With a fierce cry, he lunged forward, unleashing every ounce of his immense inner energy.
The force erupted from him like a storm, shaking the room violently. Four and the elite guards crumpled, vomiting blood from the sheer pressure.
Jasmien stood untouched, her gaze wide in astonishment.
She realized Alex was shielding her effortlessly with his own overpowering aura.
Alex moved again—swift, decisive, brutal. Another resounding slap echoed like thunder, and Hugh soared backward, crashing harder than before.
He hit the floor, battered and bloody, utterly defeated.
Gasps rippled through the crowd. Once could’ve been luck; twice was undeniable skill.
“You hurt Jasmine,” Alex said coldly, his voice sharp as steel. “Apologize, and I might reconsider sparing your worthless life p>
“Apologize?” Hugh roared, pride fueling his fury.
“I’d rather die than beg forgiveness from a nobody like you!” Snarling in rage, he grabbed two deadly battle axes from the wall, hefting their gleaming blades with murderous intent.
“Die, you arrogant fool!” Hugh bellowed, lunging forward with deadly force.
The axes whistled sharply through the air, promising swift death.
But Alex simply reached out, impossibly calm, and caught both blades bare- handed.
“No!” Hugh’s eyes widened, horror flooding his face. “That’s impossible p>
He strained, his muscles bulging, but the axes didn’t budge an inch. Alex held them effortlessly, as though gripping mere toys rather than lethal weapons.
Panic surged through Hugh as realization dawned on him-this was no ordinary opponent. Alex was beyond anything he had ever faced, even surpassing his formidable
master.
The truth was stark and unforgiving: Hugh had challenged someone far more
powerful than he’d imagined.
He knew, deep down, he was doomed.
But he had one secret weapon that never failed! He truly didn’t want to use it because it would harm him—but there was no other way.
“You bastard! You’ve forced me to do this!” Hugh let go of his double axe and charged his power.
His muscles began to bulge as he yelled, “Accept my secret attack if you dare!” With that, he turned around and rushed out of the villa.
