Richard and the others were stunned at first. Then, they burst into laughter.
In their eyes, Alex was just talking big. Silas said that he could defeat Alex with an arm, so Alex said he could defeat Silas with just a finger.
However, who would believe that?
Silas was a bodyguard hired by the Dodge family at a high price. The Blue Heavens Club ranked first in Michigan and the customers here were all rich and noble. Hence, there could not be the slightest mistake.
However, the young, rich heirs would usually come here and arguments would be inevitable. Without a strong martial artist around, how could all of these work?
Silas Landry was an Advanced-Earth expert. One should not think that Viole Zimmer could get a Grandmaster as well just because the Melvises could casually have a few Grandmasters. However, these were associated with power. Without a dominant power, would the Grandmasters pay attention to him or her?
Hence, Silas was already at the pinnacle in Michigan. Who would not give him some respect?
Meanwhile, an ignorant guy just bragged shamelessly, trying to subdue Silas with a finger. He simply had a death wish.
“Brat, l, Silas Landry, have lived for so long and you’re the first person ever to dare to speak to me like that. I’ll only punch you once. If you don’t die from the punch, you’re free to leave,” said Silas with a murderous expression.
“You want to kill me? Aren’t you afraid of legal consequences?”
“Haha! Legal consequences? Are you joking? What’s the use of you being alive if you can’t even handle a punch?”
Alex nodded his head. “I understand!”
Silas grunted. “Look carefully then. I want you to know the consequences for talking big.”
Joel and the others were quietly waiting for Alex seeking his own death.
Judy even looked with a contemptuous expression. ‘This stupid bodyguard, is he out of his mind after hooking up with my cousin? He even dares to provoke Silas Landry from the Blue Heavens Club. But, if he wants to die, let him be then!’
In the next moment, Silas threw out a ferocious punch, wanting to take down Alex’s head.
His move was inexorable and as fast as lightning.
If this punch were to be thrown on a steel plate, a thinner steel plate would be pierced, not to mention a human’s head. It would definitely be beaten into a crushed watermelon.
Alex did not move at all, as if that punch from Silas had shocked him and he had lost all his moving abilities because of extreme fear. Witnessing this scene, Cheryl and Phoebe exclaimed and yelled consecutively, “Be careful!”
They obviously knew Alex’s capability, he was an existence that even a Grandmaster would be afraid of. However, they could not help feeling worried after witnessing such a scene, fearing that he would be beaten to death.
Meanwhile, Joel, Richard and the others were gloating over his misfortune as they were watching it like a good show.
It would be the best if Alex were to be beaten to death. There were universal rules among the martial artists. Even if the mayor’s daughter, Phoebe was present at the scene, it would not have much trouble dealing with this matter. It could be dealt with ease by the Dodge family, so they were not afraid of killing a person at all.
In the nick of time, a finger was suddenly pointed at Silas’s fist
Buzz!
A burst of tremor emanated from the top of Silas’s fist but the cannonball like punch that he threw out was stopped by the finger and could not move forward anymore. From extreme speed to complete stillness, there was a very strong sense of contrast, but Silas’s fist just stopped abruptly.
Clearly, that was Alex’s finger.
His expression seemed relaxed while that finger was downplayed as well, as if he had not used any strength at all.
“Ah!”
“What’s going on? He really blocked Silas’s attack with one finger.”
“This… It’s too fake, isn’t it? Why do I feel like they’re putting up a show? Did this guy bribed Silas or something?”
“I have the same feeling as well. It feels like we’ve gone into a movie studio to watch other people putting up a fake fight.”
