"Hmm, is she a reporter!? Well, it doesn't matter, I'll make this fool feel some pain."
Alex continued driving quickly through the magical city, listening to Shen Min's screams. But after some time, he heard police sirens behind him.
"By order of the Magic City Police, stop your vehicle now!"
Alex didn't care and increased his speed.
"Please forgive me, please, I won't do it again... Ahhhh!"
After more than half an hour of driving, Alex managed to shake off the police and stopped in front of a light pole in the middle of the road. He got out of his car.
"Aaaaah, please let me..."
Before he could finish his sentence, Alex slapped him.
"Shut up."
Alex untied Shen Min and stripped him of all his clothes, leaving him only in his underwear. Then, he tied him to the pole.
"Nooo, please let me go!"
"This is just a small taste of what you did to Xia Wan'er. I advise you not to tell the police who I am, or I'll show them how you destroyed my shop and how you almost killed Xia Wan'er and her daughter."
Then, Alex punched him directly in the face until he passed out and decided to leave. He changed the car's license plate back to the original and left the scene, heading back to the hospital.

__ Xiao Fan POV __
I stood in a café in front of a man with a foreign face. This man was one of the assassins in my palace.
"Alright, you've come."
"Yes, what are your orders, Shuri King?"
I placed a picture of Alex in front of one of my followers and said, "I want this person dead today."
"I will do it."
"Very good. And also, be cautious. He is not a simple person."
"Understood, Shuri King."
"Alright, you may leave now."
After my follower left, I stood up and decided to leave the café. On my way out, I was thinking about the moment Alex dies.
"Joe Shiner, after I take care of Alex, it'll be your turn and the Joe family's. After enjoying you, I'll throw you away like a whore. Hahahahaha."

Shin Haner, Yu Zan, and Shin Nan stood in front of a policeman.
"Did you find my grandson?"
"Yes, we found him tied to a pole."
"And where is he now?"
"He was taken to the hospital for treatment."
"And what about the person who kidnapped him?"
"The matter is under investigation. We are waiting for him to wake up so we can ask him about it."
"Alright, thank you for your efforts."
After the policeman left, Shin Nan turned to Shin Haner and said, "Alright, let's go to the hospital to visit your cousin."
"Alright, Grandma."

Jo Shiner was processing some documents when she felt bored. She leaned back in her chair and sighed, "I want a cup of coffee. Alright, it seems like I should visit Alex's café to drink some coffee. Of course, I'm not going to see him, I'm just going because his coffee is delicious."
A few minutes later, Jo Shiner left her company and headed towards Alex's café. When she arrived, she pushed open the door, but when she entered, she found the place completely destroyed.
"What happened? Where is Alex?"
"Alex... Alex..."
Jo Shiner felt a sense of panic when she didn't receive a response from Alex. "Where is Aleeex? Where is heeee?! Could something have happened to him? Right, the cameras!"
Jo Shiner left the place and went to her car, opened her laptop, and accessed the cameras. She saw everything that had happened up to the moment Alex left.
"Thank goodness he's okay. I think he headed to the hospital." Jo Shiner picked up her phone.
"I want you to find out which hospital Alex is at."
|Yes, ma'am| Jo Shiner hung up the phone. "Shen Min, right? How dare you destroy Alex's café?"
Hope Hospital After receiving the message, Jo Shiner headed directly to the hospital where Alex was...

Kang Yu was sitting at her desk, reading a file in her hand. "I knew it. Finally, I've found you, Alex. I'll come to you right after dealing with Lin Fan."
Kang Yu smiled and left the place, heading towards Lin Fan's cell. She found him in bad condition, and as soon as he saw her, he began to scream.
"Get me out of here!"
"You won't get out of here until your innocence is proven."
"Then let me make a call."
"No."
"Why not? I think I have the right to make a call."
Kang Yu ignored him and left. "Alright, I know he has a lot of connections. I'll try to keep him here as long as I can until I destroy all his allies."
As she left, she saw Jiu Wan leaving. "What's going on? Why are you letting him go?"
"Well, ma'am, someone came and confessed that he was the one who did all the smuggling and selling."
"I told you I didn't do it." Kang Yu looked at Jiu Wan with pity. "I don't care about you. You deserve this because you were one of the people who hurt Alex. Consider it revenge."
"Why are you looking at me like that?"
"Well, it doesn't matter. Let him go."
>> The Shun Family Home
Shun Zui sat smiling on one of the couches, holding a picture of Alex as a child in her hand.
"You were so cute, my dear, when you were little." But she was interrupted by the ringing of the phone, which made her angry.
"It better be important to interrupt me."
|Ma'am, we've made someone else take all the blame for Jiu Wan, and he was released a few moments ago.|
"Alright, follow him and don't do anything until I give the order. And what about that fool who imitated Alex?"
|He's still in jail.|
"Okay, keep an eye on the situation. Once he's out, grab him."
|Yes, ma'am.|
"Hahahaha Jiu Wan, Jiu Wan, I think your time is coming to an end soon. Raise your family's stock, then I'll kill you right after."
Shun Zui picked up her phone and sent a message.
How are things going?
Ma'am, Jiu Ki has agreed to our terms.
Alright, very good.
"All the pieces are in place. The only one left is you, Jiu Wan."

Su Minger stood in the middle of the dark room, where a faint light crept in through a cracked window, revealing her bloodied body. Her long black hair cascaded over her exhausted face, and her eyes were filled with the sorrow and anger that had built up in her heart over the years. She held a fiery sword in her right hand and a gun in her left, embodying a blend of strength and violence that knew no mercy.
She looked around at the bodies lying on the ground, souls perished mercilessly by her hands. She stood among those bodies like a queen of death, crowned with blood, her tears of rage falling on her cheeks. In front of her was a severely injured man, teetering between life and death, his eyes wide with terror and fear.
She slowly and steadily approached him, and when she reached him, she raised her sword towards him. Her trembling voice, filled with anger and tears, screamed in his ears:
"Who killed my son?"
The man trembled, unable to speak, as if he knew that any word from his mouth would lead to his death. In a weak voice, he whispered, "I... I don't know..."
She didn't give him another chance to speak; instead, she plunged the sword into his body with merciless force before slowly pulling it out. Blood began to flow profusely, and the sound of his body collapsing was like a final announcement of his end.
Then she started crying bitterly. Her screams tore through the silence of the night, filling the room with the sound of sorrow mixed with rage.
"Alex! My son, why? Why did you leave me? Why didn't you take me with you?" Her tears flowed uncontrollably as she stood there, as if desperately trying to bring her son back to life by killing everyone involved in his tragic life.
"I will make them pay for hurting you! I won't leave anyone alive. Everyone will die. Anyone who hurt you, I'll kill them. I'll make them wish for death before it reaches them. Don't worry, my dear, no one will survive! They will all die, I'll kill them all! Hahahaha..."
She laughed maniacally, as if she had completely lost control of herself. She was laughing and crying at the same time, as if she couldn't distinguish between the pain and anger that filled her heart.
"Ahhhhhh!!!"
Su Minger woke up from her terrifying nightmare, her body drenched in sweat, and her breaths were rapid. She looked around with tired eyes to realize she was in her room, alone, surrounded by the darkness of the night. She held her head in her hands, as if trying to rid her mind of those horrifying images.
After a few moments, she slowly got out of bed and went to another room in the house. She quietly opened the door and entered the room. There, she stood in front of an old picture of a young child. The picture was placed on a desk beside the bed, surrounded by some childhood toys.
"How old were you? Four? Five?"
Su Minger couldn't control herself and began to cry, tears streaming down her face as she held the picture tightly in her hands. Her eyes were wide with tears while her heart shattered slowly.
Then, she sat on the bed next to the picture, holding it between her trembling hands. "Forgive me, forgive me, my little one. Please come back, I miss you so much."
