Where does his confidence come from?

Once Alex said that, the three masked people who had gathered before him, looked at him with intense surprise in their eyes.

From the statement that Alex made, it was like he had been expecting them to appear before him.

They however didn't think too much about what he said and then made their own statement.

"Bastard, it's time to give us your life." One of them said while Alex grinned.

"Why don't you give me your life instead?" Alex asked with an hideous smile appearing in his face.

Then before they could say or do anything to him, Alex suddenly dashed away from their midst.

This caused the group of three that surrounded him to have their cold eyes shine with shock. Then they abruptly shot into the air to go after him.
