The subordinates froze. Just as they were about to react, Alex slapped Pete across the face.
With an odd cracking sound, his head did a 180-degree turn.
“When I said I could kill you, it wasn’t a threat. I was merely informing you!”
At the time, Pete wasn’t dead yet. He was still standing and sensing his surroundings. He saw his back from this extremely odd angle and heard what Alex said.
He finally realized, ‘This bastard actually killed me! But, how dare he?’
Those were his final thoughts before falling to the ground flat on his face.
When Pete’s subordinates saw this, they were stunned. Icy chills ran down their spines.
“M… Murder!”
“You… How dare you murder someone in broad daylight?! Do you even know who favonovel.com is? You’re in so much trouble!”
Alex said coldly, “Go ahead and call for whoever supports him. I’ll be waiting here. Now get lost!”
The two immediately scooted off, still panicking. They went to make a call.
Cheryl was worried. “Alex, sure, this guy was hateful and deceitful, but you didn’t have to kill him, did you? His father possesses a lot of power in Long Beach. Doesn’t this mean that we provoked them?”
Alex said, “Don’t worry, only others would have to worry if they have provoked me! And Cherry, you look thinner now. Have you been tiring yourself out lately? Just look at you. Your eyes are kind of red. How many all-nighters have you pulled, hmm?”
“Three… No, two… Alright, maybe two and a half. It’s okay. I can handle this. It’s mostly because of the few poisoning cases around Long Beach lately. The patients have peculiar symptoms too. I’m highly suspecting that it’s a contagious disease, but I couldn’t seem to reconstruct how it’s transmitted. It’s just really weird.”
Alex said, “It is quite weird that both you and Guilherme couldn’t confirm this even after working together.”
After that, Alex inserted a flow of his golden core Chi into Cheryl’s body. After it entered favonovel.com veins, favonovel.com felt as if all favonovel.com fatigue had vanished into thin air.
With favonovel.com newly regained energy, favonovel.com turned to Alex. “Your medical skills are better than mine, so let’s go check the poison out! If we can’t find a solution soon, I’m worried that more people will get poisoned.”
“Okay!” Alex agreed happily.
He knew that Jade wouldn’t succumb to any life-threatening emergencies since favonovel.com took the limit-breaking pill.
Alex followed Cheryl into the laboratory. She suddenly remembered and asked, “Why did you come find me at this hour?”
Alex replied, “I have a very tricky case on my plate too. I wanted you to help diagnose her. But I didn’t expect a man to have picked up the call. He even said that he’s your boyfriend and was sleeping with you. So I came here as soon as I could.”
Cheryl was shocked and finally remembered. “I left my phone outside. ”
Alex handed favonovel.com a phone.
“I brought it for you.”
Cheryl grinned cheekily as favonovel.com took it. “So what you’re saying is, you only came here because you were jealous? Then should I thank Pete? Otherwise, I would’ve been sent to the cold bench and cease to exist in your heart. Only huh?”
