Chapter 28 - Rules are meant to be broken

Ken had pulled the trigger but nothing had happened to him.

He let out a sigh of relief, heavily breathing after he had pulled trigger. "Why...did I do that" he said while at his trembling hands.

Meanwhile, Ronx had flinched when the Ken had pulled the trigger, expecting him to die but was speechless to see him still alive. Relief and joy showing on his face. "KEN! YOU DID IT!"

He let out a wide grin, tears of joy running down his face.

"I...did it! Yes! I proved that I could be useful!"

Henry looked at the revolver and knew that the possibility of him dying was now 100%, his smile was no more.

"It seems that my luck has run out" Henry said while picking up the revolver and analyzing it. "I'll admit that you have defeated me, great job."

Henry then aimed the revolver at his head and pulled the trigger but nothing happened.

"Just kidding!"

Ronx immediately furrowed his eyebrows and clenched his fist, "what is the meaning of this?!"

"There was never a bullet in the revolver, I had taken it out when you weren't watching" Henry whispered with a satisfied face. "It isn't cheating if you don't get caught."

Henry then adjusted his tie and stood up in a gentlemanly manner.

"Now then, if you'll excuse me" Henry said, deactivating his realm. "I hope we will meet again" Henry said, teleporting.

Meanwhile, Alex was in a dark room, which was covered in newspapers. There were so many newspapers that Alex could barely walk, the lower half of his body was covered in them. 

"What is this room..?" He wondered, looking around.

The blood trail had lead him here but now he was stuck, not knowing where to go.

"Was that blood trail there just to distract me?"

However, suddenly, all of the newspaper suddenly disappeared as if they were never there in the first place. "Tch, who am I facing this time?"

Suddenly, a chair appeared out of nowhere and after a few seconds, a man appeared as well, who was already sitting on the chair. "Long time no see" the man said.

Alex immediately unsheathed his sword, aiming it right at him. "Why are you here?! you piece of shit!!"

"Oh, is that a way to greet your big brother?" Alex's brother, Davis Lewisguard said.

"Shut the fuck up, now that you have showed up, I get to kill you" Alex said, seeing red. "Go to hell, you fucking piece of shit."

"Are you that mad that I killed our parents?" Davis said with a smirk. "Well, they spoke rudely to me, what else choice did I have?"

Alex then immediately slashed Davis but he caught the sword with his two fingers.

"How rude. It seems that your kind big brother has to teach you a few manners."

However, Alex extended his sword's length and with the sword already aimed at Davis's face, it almost had stabbed his eye, he dodged it at the very last second, had he dodged it a millisecond later, it would have went through his eye and out of the back of skull.

"Oh, you can manipulate metal? How cute" Davis said with a smirk, slightly giggling for a small moment. "You really are the weak little brother, no doubt about it."

The sword then suddenly disappeared, causing Davis to easily grab Alex's neck and lift him up.

"Now, now, how shall I teach my brother a lesson?" 

"Oh, that's right! You have a few of your friends with you, right?" Davis said with an evil smile. 

"DON'T YOU DARE!" Alex yelled, grabbing a knife from his pocket and slicing Davis's hand off.

Alex then threw the knife towards Davis, who dodged the knife very easily. Alex then proceeded to run, closing the door behind him and grabbing a few knifes as he was running.

However, suddenly, the entire hotel disappeared, causing Alex, Ronx, Ken and Ana to rapidly start falling towards the ground.

Alex immediately teleported to the ground, catching Ana and Ken while Ronx managed to land safety. "Alex! You are safe! what happened to the hotel?!"

"I don't know, more importantly, Anthony is gone and we have to fight an enemy who has most likely captured Anthony" Alex explained, preparing for Davis.

Davis calmly and slowly descended with his arms wide open in the air, his hand that was cut off was perfectly fine as if it was never cut in the first place. 

"Tch, another enemy?!" Ronx said.

"You fought someone too?" Alex said, looking at Ronx in a surprised way but then changed his focus to Davis and noticed that his hand was perfectly fine. "Why is your hand still attached to your arm? I thought I had cut it off?!"

"Oh, my innocent little brother. You don't know anything do you?" Davis said, finally landing on the ground. "You don't know about my power."

"My sweet little brother, you are too good for this world. Instead you would be somewhere more suited for you" Davis said with a wide smirk. "Somewhere like hell."

"Little brother?!" Ronx looked at Alex and then Davis with his mouth open, he was completely shocked and speechless.

"Ronx, don't interfere, this is my fight with him. You should run away with Ken and Ana, make sure to keep them safe" Alex said, looking at back at Ronx one last time. "And, forget about the mission, it is too dangerous, go back to the base."

Ronx hesitated. "But..."

"Just go" Alex commanded him but before Ronx could go, Ken spoke.

"I-I could help" Ken said, stepping in. 

"Your power could definitely be useful, however, knowing you, you will die" Alex coldly replied.

"Don't be so cold, now" Davis said, slowly approaching them. "Secondly, I am not here to fight."

"You want to go to the rotting peninsula, right?" Davis said with a smirk. "I can make that happen without it taking forty days. In fact, it will only take a few seconds."
