There was a long line at the entrance of the city. Just as Alex silently wanted to go behind the line, "Boom", right at this moment, a loud sound suddenly came from the distant sky. The radiance that completely exploded was as dazzling as the sun.
Dense shock waves spread in all directions, tearing the air apart. The space was like glass, and cracks spread in all directions.
"What a strong aura!" Alex frowned; he could not help but look a few hundred meters away from him on the right side.
Ahead of him, countless silhouettes could be seen standing in the air.
At the center of the explosion, a young man with a handsome face smiled. With his hands behind his back, he looked ahead arrogantly and said indifferently: "Cousin Olav, so many years have passed, why are you still like this? You haven't made any progress at all. You are really humiliating us, the Lightfoot Family."
The shockwave from the explosion seemed to have stirred up space, but it did not shake the youth's clothes in the slightest. He just stood there.
The other figure was clutching his chest, his face was pale. It was obvious that he had suffered some serious injuries.
The moment Alex saw this figure, his pupils violently contracted. It is not because of anything, but because the Abyssal Stone that was silent all this time suddenly trembled. It responded to this young man.
This young man's name was Olav Lightfoot.
"I don't need you to worry about me." Olav clenched his hand and gritted his teeth. He was very angry, but there was nothing he could do.
"Do I look like I worry about you? Don't be delusional. I don't care about you at all. What I care about is our family's reputation!"
Although the young man didn't have any expression on his face, anyone could feel the arrogance he was emitting.
"Thank you so much for your teachings, Brother Roald." Olav was clearly very angry, but he forced himself to bow his head in front of the young man called Roald Lightfoot.
"The Evergreen Competition is around the corner, I'm too lazy to waste my time talking to you. If you go up and embarrass yourself again, get out of our Lightfoot Family!"
Roald's eyes were full of contempt, his aloofness was clearly shown.
Olav's face was as white as paper. He had never been humiliated like this before, but since he was weak in front of Roald, so he could only endure. If they continued arguing, he would be the one to suffer in the end.
The group of youths standing behind Roald all had ridiculing smiles on their faces. It was obvious that they were watching a good show.
Although Olav was very angry, he could not do anything. He silently turned around, wanting to leave this place.
The moment Olav turned around, a palm pressed down on his shoulder.
"Olav, did he show off his strength in front of you?"
Unknowingly, Alex's figure had appeared in the sky. While pressing his hand on Olav's shoulder, he looked at Roald indifferently.
"Oh?"
Roald was slightly surprised. The speed of the brat in front of him was indeed shockingly fast; he had clearly not discovered any trace of him, yet he had already charged over.
This was truly a terrifying explosive force!
Roald always bragged about his speed. He was mainly known for his speed. But now, he met Alex whose speed shocked him. Who would have thought that the young man in front of him would be so fast that he was unable to react?
However, Roald did not think too much about it. He was just absent-minded just now, if it was a direct battle, he would definitely not make such a mistake.
Olav turned around in shock, his eyes stared straight at Alex. He has no idea who Alex is, but Alex behaved just now as if he was very familiar with him.
Alex sent his sound transmission into Olav's ears at this moment, saying: "My name is Alex White. You can call me Alex. Just behave as if you are very familiar with me if you want to safely get away from here."
Although Olav was shocked, he immediately came back to his senses. Silently nodding his head, he revealed a surprised expression and said: "Alex, why are you here?"
"I've come to find you!"
Alex laughed out loud. Holding onto Olav's shoulders, he looked at Roald with a smile and raised his chin provocatively: "Just now, you seemed to be very arrogant!"
Before Roald could speak, a youth with a face full of contempt suddenly stood out from behind him and said: "Where did you pop out from?"
"With just you alone, you still dare to provoke Brother Roald? Your brain is really muddled!"
"Heh, there are always some ignorant fellows who jump out to seek death."
"There's no need for Brother Roald to act. I can crush you to death with one hand!"
Following the youth's words, quite a few people behind Roald stood up with cold smiles and sized Alex up with faces full of disdain.
"Alex, let's go."
Olav's expression was somewhat gloomy. Although he has no idea why Alex wanted to help him, no matter what, Alex was here to help him. He does not know how strong Alex is, but in his mind, Alex might not be these people's match. The situation before him could be said to be extremely difficult.
He could not be more familiar with Roald's strength and character. Alex had provoked him the moment he arrived and had even provoked him in front of so many people. Roald will definitely want to skin Alex alive.
"Cousin Olav, why are you befriending all kinds of cats and dogs?"
Roald indifferently swept a glance at Alex. Even though he did not want to put down his status and make a fuss about it with Alex, it did not mean that he was going to be let off.
If he were to let go of the person who had provoked him in public, where would he be able to put his face?
Although it seemed like he was humiliating Olav, in reality, he had scolded Alex as well.
"Olav, you're injured. Go to the side and wait for me. I'll help you here!"
Alex pushed Olav away, and then looked at Roald with a smile that was not a smile, and raised his eyebrows: "What, you don't dare to make a move against me?"
"How dare you!"
Behind Roald, a young man suddenly burst forward and threw a ruthless punch at Alex.
This youth was an Initial-leveled Holy Lord. As he punched at Alex, his powerful fist pierced through the air with an incomparably mighty force, as though he wanted to shatter Alex with a single punch!
"Alex, you..."
Olav was a little anxious. He did not want someone who has jumped into a pit to help him get injured.
Facing the young man's fist, Alex's expression did not change. As for his response, it shocked everyone present.
Alex did not turn pale from shock, nor did he panic. Instead, he indifferently extended a finger and lightly tapped on the youth's fist.
The majestic aura that was enough to overturn everything suddenly came to a halt, like a torrential flood that was suddenly blocked. The youth's breath was stuck in his chest, unable to be released.
"He blocked it?"
The short event here had already attracted a lot of attention. After all, this place was not far away from the Heavenly Ice City's entrance. When the spectators saw this, their eyes narrowed violently.
Alex looked to be ordinary, they did not expect his strength to be so terrifying!
Facing the attack of an Initial-leveled Holy Lord, he actually blocked it with one finger.
"You!"
The young man clenched his teeth, his face red. To him, being blocked by a single finger was the ultimate humiliation!
"Too weak!"
Alex shook his head, his finger lightly tapped on the air, causing an even more terrifying energy wave to surge out and push the young man back.
"Boom!"
A dull sound rang out as the young man screamed in agony. Half of his body was blasted apart as blood and gore splattered in all directions.
With a single finger, Alex defeated this young man.
From the beginning till the end, Alex did not display any sort of overbearing attitude, treating everything as though it was nothing.
This was especially so when he had shattered half of the young man's body. He did not even bat an eyelid as if he was not a living person but a cabbage.
As for why Alex wanted to help Olav, it is ultimately related to Olav's information panel as well as the Abyssal Pearl.
Olav's attributes were very normal. He could not be said to be a genius at all. His information panel did not have many treasures that Alex wanted to replicate.
But there was one thing that attracted Alex's attention, and that thing was related to the Abyssal Pearl.
It was Olav's bloodline that had yet to awaken.
