Chapter 46 Combat
Alex looked at James who was still lying on the ground howling, then he looked at the middle-aged man.
The man’s name was Freddie Moore and Alex knew that he wasn’t the strongest in the Jefferson family.
“I didn’t think a b*stard like you would be shrewd enough to escape to a small remote city like Nebula City. No wonder we couldn’t find you for the last eight years,” Freddie said to Alex with a hint of mischief in his eyes.
“Oh really? Didn’t you stop to think about why I dared to expose my identity?” Alex snorted.
“Anyone who is used to living like a prince wouldn’t be able to accept having to live like a pauper suddenly. Like I said, you would use the money sooner or later, and once you do, your identity will be exposed,” said Freddie mockingly.
Alex smirked, then changed the topic, “Has it not crossed your mind that Susan sent you to Nebula City to meet your death?”
“Meet my death? You actually think you’re capable of killing me?” Freddie laughed and said.
After hesitating for a while, he continued with a wicked look on his face, “If you do not want to experience physical suffering, you’d better leave with me right now. If not, I’ll start by breaking your legs.”
Freddie was arrogant by nature as he was one of the strongest men in Lumenopolis, so he didn’t take Alex seriously at all.
In fact, he did not think highly of the entire Nebula City.
He was determined to bring Alex back to Lumenopolis.
It was an order from Susan, and Freddie didn’t dare to disobey her.
Even if he dared to, he would never go against her.
“Break both my legs? You?” Alex sneered.
He then strode towards Freddie while exclaiming, “Didn’t you heard what I’ve said? Susan sent you here to meet your death. You won’t leave this place alive!”
He was only less than three meters away from Freddie the moment he finished his sentence. Immediately after, he raised his arm and threw a punch at Freddie.
He moved at the speed of light, striking at his opponent with full force.
Freddie furrowed his brows when he saw how fast Alex was but he wasn’t bothered at all.
Instead, he countered Alex’s attack with a swift punch.
Bang! Their fists collided head-on.
A gust of strong wind blew their clothes, and everything including the air seemed to freeze for a moment.
Thud! Thud! Thud!
After a round of fistfight with Alex, Freddie stepped back looking shocked.
“How could you be this strong!” he burst out in disbelief as he felt his blood rushing through his veins.
Not only was Alex fast in terms of speed, but he was also significantly stronger than him. It would be a lie if Freddie said he wasn’t shocked by it.
Alex himself was equally shocked.
For the past few days, he had been practicing the Nine Heaven Scrolls, and his strength had increased tremendously.
At first, he thought he could defeat Freddie in a matter of seconds, but Freddie’s strength exceeded his expectations.
Without saying another word, Alex charged towards Freddie again unrestrained.
Now that he knew how strong Freddie was, he finally got a clear idea about where the fighters of the Jefferson family stood.
Freddie is only a second-tier fighter and he is already this strong. The others would be undoubtedly stronger.
It’s impossible for me to be able to defeat the five first-tier fighters of the Jefferson family based on my current strength now.
Suddenly, a thought crossed Alex’s mind.
No matter how injured he could get, he must kill Freddie.
Otherwise, he wouldn’t survive if Freddie summoned the other fighters of the Jefferson family.
