Is he even alive?

Looking at Nana, Alex spoke, "Are you really Bob's daughter, or was that also a lie?" Hearing that, Victoria laughed, "Kid, you don't know what position you are in, and you even dare to ask questions." Saying that, Victoria released some of her aura.

People outside the surrounding felt as if the entire city felt like it was shaking.

One person on the surface spoke, "What the heck is going on? Why do I feel like the entire air just vanished?" Hearing that, his son spoke, "I feel the same, father. It feels like some invisible pressure is crushing us."

The same situation was in the entire city. The ground was shaking like it could crumble at any second. The sky suddenly became dark, the clouds began gathering, and with the lightning sound, the entire city trembled.

Seeing everything, Caleb, who was on the way with Lucas, spoke, "Looks like the kid made Victoria angry. See, the entire city is in an uproar. We should go there fast and make her calm down, or there will be no city left to protect." Hearing him, Lucas nodded, "I don't like to agree with you, but the situation is really dangerous. Let's hurry up." Saying that, both of them increased their speed and ran toward the cell. While running, Lucas spoke, "If the entire city is feeling it, even if the pressure is not directed at him, what would that boy feel? We should increase our speed, or we might not meet that boy."

Inside the cell, Alex was crushed 10 feet under the ground, trembling. As soon as Victoria's aura struck Alex, he became unconscious. Blood started coming from his ears, eyes, nose, and mouth. His entire bones started crushing, and muscles started trembling. Then he fell to the ground; all this happened in seconds, and he started going down into the ground.

Seeing this horrible sight, Luna fainted. Then, as Victoria started increasing her aura, the ground cracked open, and Alex was about 10 feet under the ground. Seeing that, Lara spoke, "Hey, we don't want to kill him even before we see what he is capable of, so stop." Hearing that, Victoria said, "I just released a bit of my aura, you know it's his problem if he can't even handle this much. He shouldn't have spoken like that." "Yeah, yeah, I know, but stop before the bug gets crushed; we don't want that now, do we?" Lara said mockingly. Hearing her, Victoria sighed and stopped her aura from leaking out.

As soon as she did that, the entire city became stable. People in the city were surprised. One person spoke, "What was that? It suddenly stopped. Oh, thank God we are safe now." Hearing that, his child said, "Was that a natural disaster or something? How come everything stopped?" Caleb, who was passing by, said looking at that child, "Don't worry; it won't happen again." Hearing that, the child became relaxed but was confused, "Was the gust of air speaking to me? Am I able to talk to the air?" Caleb and Lucas's speed was so fast that the child thought it was air.

Upon reaching the cell, they started going down the stairs. Reaching there, what they saw made them stunned.

Alex was lying on the ground, and Victoria, Lara, and Nana were surrounding him. Feeling a familiar presence, Lara spoke, "Why were you this late?" Hearing that, Lucas spoke, "Because someone here couldn't control her, and because of that, the entire city became unstable." Feeling the mocking coming toward her, Victoria spoke, "Oh, sorry, I didn't think it would cause such chaos. I was just trying to make the boy familiar with me, that's all." Listening to that, Caleb spoke, "Familiar? I don't think even his family would recognize him,"

saying that he pointed towards Alex, who was covered in blood from head to toe. His nose was broken, his left hand was crushed, it looked like a noodle. His feet were bent in the opposite direction, and there were many tears on his face and his body.

Then Caleb spoke again, "Is he even alive?"

Hey, guys! I'm back. I know you've all been missing the story, but don't worry. I've moved to another place, and everything is going well for now, at least. I hope it stays that way. The chapters will continue to come out at their regular timing every day. Thanks for your patience, and I'm very grateful to all of my readers!
