Alex angry
In the hospital, Alex was sitting as one of the doctors informed him about Yan Ran's condition, saying, "Sir, her injury isn't too severe, but there's a possibility she might slip into a coma for about a week or two."
Alex nodded to the doctor and said, "Alright, thank you for your hard work." After the doctor left, Alex headed towards Xia Wan'er and Yan Ran's room and sat there. Only half an hour had passed when Xia Wan'er opened her eyes and looked around, finding herself on a comfortable bed. However, she quickly recalled what had happened and woke up frightened, starting to scream.
"Yan Ran, where is my daughter?"
Alex looked directly at her upon hearing her screams and said, "Xia Wan'er, calm down."
Xia Wan'er turned towards the source of the voice and found that it was Alex. "Sir, where is my daughter?"
Alex pointed his finger towards Yan Ran, who was beside her, and said, "Look, she's on your right."
What's wrong with these heroines? Are they stupid or what? She was right beside her, and she didn't see her. Could her love for her daughter have made her blind?
Xia Wan'er looked towards where Alex pointed and found her daughter lying on the bed. She tried to get up from the bed but felt pain throughout her body, making her groan in pain.
"Ahhh."
"Calm down, you have fractures in your body, and you need to rest."
"But my daughter!"
"Don't worry, she's fine, but..."
"But what?!"
"Well, she's in a coma..." Alex hadn't even finished his sentence when Xia Wan'er started screaming and crying.
"No, Yaaaan Raaaan, my dear!"
"Let me finish..."
"Forgive me, my dear, for not being able to protect you." Alex felt anger rising and began to shout.
"Shut up and let me finish my words!"
"But my daughter is in a coma, how do you expect me to stay silent?"
"Don't worry, she'll wake up after a week or two at most."
"Really?"
"Yes, don't worry." "Alright, I'll believe you." After ten minutes, Xia Wan'er quieted down, wiped her tears, and looked at Alex, saying, "Sir, are you the one who brought me to the hospital?"
"Yes, why?" Xia Wan'er looked at Alex and started a second round of tears.
"Sir, I'm sorry."
"Oh, don't worry about that."
"But because of me, the café got destroyed."
"Oh, about that, I wanted to change the décor anyway, and they helped me with that." Xia Wan'er knew that he didn't want to blame her for it, which made her lower her head in shame.
"By the way, who attacked you?"
Upon hearing that, Xia Wan'er felt anger boiling in her heart. "Shen Min from the Shen family."
"The Shen family?" "Yes, they're a third-rate family from the Magic Capital."
"A third-rate family?"
"Yes, I know you're surprised, why would someone from a third-rate family attack someone like me?" Alex looked at her and thought to himself: Nothing surprises me with you heroines anymore. I can even expect an immortal to come after you because of the title you hold.
"Well, I used to be from a third-rate family too, the Xia family, and Shen Min was my fiancé. But before our wedding, I saved someone who ended up raping me, disfiguring my face, and leaving me alone, which made both the Xia family and Shen Min hate me. Since then, my life has been miserable for both me and my daughter.
I tried to hold on and stay as far away as possible, but it was in vain. The only reason I keep living is Yan Ran. If it weren't for her, I would've left this life a long time ago."
Alex felt some sadness for her and envied Yan Ran for the love her mother had for her, something he longed for his entire life. "Well, now I'll be leaving and will come back tonight, so make sure to rest well."
"Thank you, sir, I don't know how I'll ever repay my debt to you."
"Just call me Alex."
"But isn't that..."
"That's an order, and there's no need to discuss it further. Rest well because you'll be working extra hours after you recover." Xia Wan'er felt warmth in her heart after hearing Alex's words, and she smiled, saying, "Yes, sir... I mean Alex."

Alex nodded and left the hospital, with a fierce look in his eyes. "Shen Min, you're the most despised person to me after the children of fate. I'll teach you a lesson you'll never forget in your life."

In the northern part of the Magic Capital, inside one of the bars, a man with a tiger tattoo was sitting across from another man with a snake tattoo. These two men were none other than the leaders of the Snake Gang and the Tiger Gang.
"So, what do you want to talk about, Lou Zan?"
"Well, what do you think about joining forces to control the underworld?"
"Joining forces? And why should I do that?"
"Tiger, I know you've always wanted to take over the western side that belongs to the Swan Gang. How about I help you with that, and you help me with the southern side?"
"Well, you have a point, but that's not enough of a reason to convince me to start a war against the Swan Gang without the Li family's involvement."
"What if I told you that woman is no longer under the Li family's protection?"
"Whaaat?!"
"Yes, as I said. And also, if we take her down, you can enjoy her beauty, and you'll also become the main ruler of both the northern and western sides, allowing you to break free from the Mo family's mercy."
The tiger thought about the beauty of the Swan Gang leader and felt lust, saying, "But what's in it for you?"
"As I told you before, I want your help in taking over the southern side, and also your help in killing someone."
"Who is this person?"
"Well, he's a man named Alex Chopper, with no distinctive identity, and well-trained in combat."
"Don't worry, I'll take care of it."
Lou Zan got up and decided to leave before the tiger concluded, "Alright, and I hope you agree to my offer."

"Hello, my name is Shen Han'er, and I spoke with Miss Jo about a collaboration, and she asked me to book an appointment."
"Alright, I'll ask her."
Moments later: "Okay, you can come tomorrow to visit her."
"Thank you." After hanging up the phone, Shen Han'er turned and decided to go to her family's house due to her grandmother's summons. On her way, she met Yu Zan as he was cleaning her underwear, and she felt both angry and embarrassed, beginning to shout.
"Yu Zaaaan, what are you doing?"
Yu Zan was startled by the shouting and turned around to see that it was his wife, Shen Han'er. He knew the reason for her anger and said, "Dear, I just wanted to help a little, haha."
"I told you not to call me dear! Didn't I tell you not to clean my underwear and leave the work to the maid?"
"Sorry, I didn't mean to."
"Alright, it doesn't matter. Leave that now. Grandma wants us to meet now, and I don't want to be late like last time."
"Alright, I'll hail a taxi." Both Yu Zan and Shen Han'er left for the Shen family's house. Upon arrival, they went directly inside and found that Shen Min, his father, his grandmother, and his father were all in the living room...
"Hello, Grandma, why did you call me?"
"Come here, Shen Han'er." Shen Han'er approached her grandmother and sat beside her, saying, "What's the matter, Grandma?"
"How's your deal with the Jo company?"
"I've set an appointment with her for tomorrow, why?"
"Well, Shen Min failed to negotiate with her, and you're our last hope."
"Don't worry, Grandma, I'll definitely succeed. But you didn't call me just for that, right?"
"Yes, because if you fail, I'll marry you off to the Hin family."
"Whaaaat!? But I'm already married!"
"It doesn't matter; you can divorce him." The moment Yu Zan heard that, he immediately shouted, "I refuse!"
Shen Min spoke mockingly, "Shut up, you don't have a say here."
"Grandma, I will never agree to marry into the Hin family."
"Then you have to succeed in the partnership with the Jo family." Shen Han'er felt like she was just a tool for profit, which made her extremely angry, and she turned towards Shen Min, saying, "Shen Min, why are you interfering in my life?"
"I just want what's best for the family." Shen Han'er gritted her teeth and decided to leave, but then a stranger dressed in black entered the living room and spoke in a cold tone:
"Which one of you is Shen Min?"
