"YOU FUCKERRRRRR!"
Furious as he was, the student could not see his left or right and dashed at Alex like an angry bull.
Alex looked at him and calmly dodged his incoming punch. He was not a Blessed, but even with his fitness without gene cultivation, he could beat this guy up, black and blue, if he so wanted to.
The student was clearly stupefied with Alex dodging his attack so suddenly.
Medical students were usually weak and with low fitness. He thought of Alex the same.
Alex's build didn't appear neither skinny nor fat. It appeared normal from the outside and the student didn't know that Alex was actually ripped and toned on the inside.
His foolishness to underestimate Alex brought consequences.
Alex went behind him and hacked his elbow at the student's back, bringing forth pain as well as shock.
The student fell down and Alex walked off from there, not wanting to bother himself with such a fool.
Writhing in pain, the student gave a look to Alex's departing back. His eyes were moist and he thought, 'I'll make you pay for this humiliation, Alexander Gray…'

Far away from the university campus, there were three men in suits, sitting on a rooftop cafe and having coffee.
"Is he out?" Taking a sip of coffee, a man wearing black shades asked in a low tone, not letting the others hear it.
A short brown-haired man gazing at the campus with his naked eyes nodded his head. With seriousness on his face, he said, "Yes. He's getting into his car."
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"Should we intercept him?" A blonde-man, pressing the earpiece in his ears, asked.
"No. Just follow him," replied a distorted voice.
"Let's go. We are told to follow him," the blonde man got up and said while buttoning his suit.
The other men nodded and walked away.

Driving his Urus, Alex was halfway through his place when he felt someone following him.
He looked through the rear view mirror but nothing could be seen.
'Strange. I felt like I was being followed,' thought Alex.
Since there was suspicion raised within his mind, Alex decided to think for the worst possible scenario and not take any chances.
He changed his route and instead of going home, decided to go to Central Park as it was 4 pm and that place was crowded.
It took him half an hour to reach due to traffic.
Alex parked his car and went inside the park for a light walk.
The feeling of being followed became stronger as Alex walked. He tried to ignore it and went to the food stalls to get some food.
While on his way, Alex called his wife.
"Darlinggg~" Melissa's melodious voice rang in his ears.
"What have you been up to, honey?" Alex asked, initiating a conversation with his wife.
"Missing you! When are you coming back? I wanna try that—"
"I am in the park, honey. Bad timing," Alex reminded.
He wouldn't lie, he loved his wife a lot and even though he was a serious person, his wife's lewd talking were enough to have him pop a boner.
It would be bad to walk in a public place with an erect rod in his pants. He thus had to ask her to stop.
"Tch," Melissa clicked her tongue. "Come home as fast as you can, darling. I am now going to cook dinner. Anything special you wanna eat?"
"Hmm… well… don't cook now. Let me come back so that I can help you."
Alex didn't want his wife to do all the work alone. He wanted to share some work because he loved her.
"I don't know when you'll be back, so let me do it," Melissa argued.
"No—"
Shinngggggg!
A sharp metal sword flew right in front of Alex's eyes and hit the lamppost beside him.
It was so close that if Alex's head had moved just an inch forwards, it would be pierced from left to right.
Alex dropped his phone and immediately took a defensive stance.
"Darling? Darling!?" Melissa's voice could be heard from the dropped phone.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmBefore Alex could respond, a child, around eight to ten years old, appeared beside Alex and tugging at his sleeves, said, "e-e-excuse me…"
Just as Alex looked at him, the child took out a knife and hacked it at Alex's abdomen.
Due to unlocking more genes, Alex's reflexes had become better and he dodged it immediately.
The enemy in front was a child and his movements weren't as good as a professional.
Alex distanced himself from the child immediately and began to make a run towards his car.
"DARLING??? DARLING ANSWER!!!" Melissa had been shouting on the phone but there was no one replying back as Alex had left the area.
The people nearby who had heard the sword strike had started panicking and ran away.
Blending in with the chaos, Alex made his way towards a cop car and reaching it, composed himself and walked towards an officer.
"Hello," Alex said calmly to an officer sipping on coffee.
"Can I help you, sir?" The cop asked.
Alex shook his head. "I just want to stand here, can I?"
The interaction was polite and respectful on both sides.
Alex only said this because he didn't want to appear suspicious in front of the cop by standing close to him.
"Sure," the cop didn't mind.
Alex nodded and brought a cup of coffee from the nearby stall and sipped on it by standing close to the cop car.
For the next thirty minutes, he felt a few gazes on him but eventually lost them.
Feeling slightly safe, Alex tossed the coffee cup in the bin and went to his car.
Starting his car and putting his hand on the steering wheel, seriousness flashed in Alex's eyes and he said softly, "that was an assassination attempt…"
