Alexander's mind started thinking about the solution at full speed, but in the moment of stress and pressure from the system, the only answer coming to his mind was the proposed mission.
The last few words of the system were regularly playing in his mind, 'He'll enjoy torturing you more after you are paralyzed,' making him shudder in fear.
He was never a person who can even talk with others, let alone attack them. He was just a shut-in guy who was really just a chicken in the world outside. Even after strengthening his body, getting used to various military techniques, he was still not able to change his mind.
Just like what happened in the forest, he first escaped from that 'weed' then an overcoat of that cold senior could frighten him to the point of fainting; right now, he was again in a similar situation.
The memories of the previous Alexander were telling him how dangerous this guy was, and thus his own shut-in instinct was telling him to just run out of here without thinking about anything else. But that wasn't really possible here. Even if he pushes away everyone and escapes today, how long will he be able to protect himself?
This was not just a struggle between the choices he has to make; it was actually a war with himself.
He never wished to become a Ruler or Overlord, but after reincarnation, he got a so-called system that gave him a mission to rule the world. This was impossible for him to achieve; however, due to constant threats of the system he still pushed himself this far, but this is his limit.
He still can't overcome his fear and personality. Apart from his body, nothing has changed. He's still a shut-in who wishes to do nothing and just enjoy his life. He can't really take this stress at all.
With every step Luke Green was taking, the danger on him was increasing. Even though Luke Green can't kill him here, he'll still be able to torture him in front of so many people. He can humiliate him here; on his own land.
What can be more humiliating than torturing and humiliating someone on their own land?!
With a sudden thought, like a volcano, emotions erupted out of him. He didn't know what happened or why this happened, but a sudden thought of being humiliated on one's own land was unbearable for him.
This… Is this so-called pride of man?
He clenched his fists tightly as he made up his mind. He stepped forward calmly without showing any emotion on his face but deep inside; he was boiling; his blood was lava while he was volcano himself.
"Hehe… Young Master Alexander, you are still here? I thought you would have escaped faster than a chicken." Seeing Alexander approaching him, Luke Green flashed a mocking smile while he also didn't stop and moved towards the counter. He was Luke Green, what can he be afraid of? Alexander? This little leech who sucks off from David? You must be joking.
The mocking smile was a trigger for Alexander. Internally he was still struggling with his own thoughts, but slowly, the fog in his mind was getting clearer.
What should he be afraid of? Though Luke Green is stronger than him but then what? It's not like he can kill him here, right? Even if he really wants to kill him, this is his land! With Yang Tao and others present here, he'll just have to increase the duration for which he'll be able to stay alive. As soon as they are here, he should be safe. Afterall Luke Green isn't even ten percent of Yang Tao.
Alexander moved straight and didn't even look for the rod lying there. He was not going to do anything excessive. He's not some bloodthirsty demon who'll kill for everyday things he wasn't like Luke Green. There was still a considerable amount of kindness left in him.
"Young Master Alexander, here is your premium quality meat. I'll be paying for it, but you'll have to eat it here." Both men were standing in front of each other, staring in each other's eyes. One was glaring with a vision filled with mockery and disdain, the same emotions with which one looks at an ant. The other was beaming with a vision filled with determination, the type of resolution which has never appeared in those black eyes.
