Chapter 193 - I Don't Know
"They really are following us." Alex nodded slowly, with a deadly look on his face, and turned the steering wheel, pulling over onto another road and skillfully swerving the cars in their way.
"Who the fuck are these people?!" Leia inquired in a raged tone, with an apprehensive look on her face, as she also saw them pull over into the road as they did, through the side mirror.
Alex glanced at the side mirror and his darkened face deepened into a bit of fury. 'Time to deal with these people my own way!'
He smirked wickedly and slowed the car down before he pushed the accelerator down and pressed the throttle, which sped them off at a much higher speed.
Leia grabbed the seat belt and swallowed hard. "Alex, aren't we going too fast? Please, I don't want to crash! " She turned to him with a bit of fear in her eyes.
Not bothering to reply to her, he pushed the accelerator again and turned the steering wheel, pulling over into an unknown lane that had ruins everywhere and was devoid of cars or pedestrians.
Leia's brow puckered in confusion, and she turned to Alex when she saw him slowing down the car with a dangerous grin on his face. "Alex, where are we? What is this place? " She asked, a bit confused, but Alex simply half smiled at her and glanced at the side mirror to see the Ferrari following behind them at a slow steady speed.
When they were completely out of human sight, Alex pulled the car over and pressed the brake pedal, stopping the car.
The Ferrari's did the same, and a few seconds passed before the door was pushed open.
Alex shoved the door of the car open and footed down, followed by Leia, who unbuckled her seatbelt and stepped down. They fixed their gazes on the car, waiting for whoever it was to step out.
A low, deadly chuckle resounded, and bulky-looking men, who towered a bit over them in height, got out of the cars, and their chests vibrated in what seemed like anger.
They glanced at Leia, and Leia's eyes narrowed viciously. With the way they looked at her, she already knew that she was the one they came for.
The back door of one of the Ferraris was pushed open and a big-looking man, though not as thick as the others, elegantly stepped down. His curly shoulder-length hair, which was tied up messily, had a few strands fall over his scary-looking face.
The moment Leia's eyes fell on him, her heart skipped a bit. He was the same man who was staring at her with a grin on his face, at the traffic.
She swallowed hard as her eyes counted their number, which was eight and she slowly moved towards Alex. Eight bulky men, including the man who looked like their boss, made them nine!! This was not good at all!
"Alex..." She whispered his name and Alex grabbed her hand, squeezing it tightly to help relieve her tension. Leia took a deep breath and straightened up, staring deeply into the eyes of the man.
The man smirked and chuckled softly as he gazed at Leia, who was staring at him with no panic in her eyes.
He dwindled his orifices and shifted his gaze to Alex. A half-deadly smile emerged on his lips, and he took a low breath. "Give the girl to us, and you can leave here alive."
The moment the sentence escaped the middle-aged man's mouth, Alex's eyes narrowed and his nails began to stretch out slowly.
Leia's eyes also narrowed dangerously, and her fingers began to itch a little.
"It's either you give the girl to us or die while trying to protect her." The middle-aged man chuckled maliciously, and when he got no reaction from Alex, his eyes dwindled and he casually waved his hand at his men.
His men stuffed their hands into the jackets of their suits and pulled out their guns, then aimed them at Alex and Leia.
The middle-aged man smirked and began to move towards Leia. However, Alex instantly moved and stood in front of Leia, protecting her from any trick they were planning to pull.
"Boy, I just need the girl. Don't get yourself killed." The middle-aged man smiled and gazed at Alex with narrowed eyes.
Alex uttered not a single word, and his nails secretly elongated. "Don't move." Right after he said that to Leia, he proceeded, appearing in front of the middle-aged man in the blink of an eye and using his nails to cut his face, injuring him deeply in his right eye. The middle-aged man instantly screamed in agony, and his men pulled the trigger, ready to shoot Alex down. However, another shadow appeared in front of one of them and swung her hand, ripping his throat apart and killing him instantly.
The others began to shoot chaotically to protect themselves, but one by one, nails slashed against their throats, ripping them open and killing them immediately.
The eight bulky men fell lifelessly to the ground, and a deep breath coming from Leia resounded. Alex turned to glance at her, and his eyes dilated in shock. "How-"
"I don't know!" Leia slowly shook her head as her eyes stared at her bloody hands and elongated nails.
An agonizing cry from the middle-aged man had them, turn to stare at him, and Leia's eyes switched to bloodshot instantly. "You!!" Deep rage bubbled within her and she quickly moved in an attempt to finish him off. But, Alex proceeded instantly and yanked her back by the belly, holding her in one place to stop her. "Miss Leia, stop!"
Her legs and arms dangled as she struggled to free herself from Alex's grip. However, Alex held her tightly, not letting go. "Calm down! We need to leave." He forcefully hauled her to the car and pushed her in, then buckled her seatbelt and slammed the door shut.. He walked over and took his seat in the driver's chair, then started the car engine and slowly reversed before driving off at a high speed.
