Alex couldn't help feeling nervous when Shane still hadn't shown up the next afternoon.

Alex's biggest fear was letting his guard down and prompting Shane to ambush and hurt his family.

"Have a few men check the train stations as well," instructed Alex to Flynn.

in such as

Alex had Flynn sent his people to monitor all the places he could possibly appear airports, bus stations, and a few highway entrances. The airport, in particular, was under the surveillance of over twenty subordinates.

Alex thought that there was a huge possibility that Shane would take an airplane over to Nebula City.

However, it had been days, and they still hadn't received any news about Shane, so Alex had his people check the train stations. It was highly unlikely that Shane would travel via train, though. "Understood," replied Flynn as he nodded. He would have Bob go deal with it later.

"Mr. Jefferson, we have news."

At that moment, Charlie entered from the backyard with a grim expression.

"What's the news?" asked Alex as he stood up and turned to Charlie.

Charlie was silent for a long while before he handed the phone to Alex.

Alex's expression changed swiftly when he saw what was on the screen.

"Mr. Jefferson, I think this is a trap," said Charlie.

"I know it is, but I have to jump into that trap despite knowing," replied Alex as he nodded and handed the phone back to Charlie.

"Mr. Jefferson, you can't go to Lumenopolis. Your father is the most powerful man in Lumenopolis, so Susan couldn't have hurt him," reminded Charlie quickly.

"My dad is strong, but he is currently being held in the Doomsday Prison," added Alex.

Charlie frowned. He couldn't help but started to ponder.

that Susan

But no matter how he thought about it, Charlie still felt like there was no way could've hurt Alex's dad. That had to be a lie to get Alex to jump into a trap designed just for Chapter 303 Even Hell On Earth Could Not Scare Me Away

him.

"Mr. Jefferson..."

Charlie had just spoken up before Alex interrupted him by waving dismissively. "You don't need to say anything. It doesn't matter if there is only a one in a million chance that what Susan said is true. I can't risk my dad's life despite the math and probabilities."

"But you will most certainly die if you fall into her trap," said Charlie.

"Charlie, you forgot about how strong I am now. I'm not even worried about Tim, so what else can Susan do? Besides, even if I am somehow weaker than Tim, I am still powerful enough to protect myself," said Alex stubbornly.

"Mr. Jefferson, Lumenopolis is Susan's turf after all, and she can assign tons of skilled fighters over in a matter of seconds. You are strong, but you can't fight an army on your own," said Charlie to discourage Alex.

Charlie would be worried sick about Alex if the latter went to Lumenopolis.

Alex frowned and asked, "Then do you have a better idea?"

Charlie stroked his beard and thought about it before answering, "Mr. Jefferson, I think the best option is to get them to come to Nebula City. This is your turf, and their power, no matter how great it is, will be affected once they are here. You will be able to attack and defend easily and will be unstoppable."

Alex nodded and said, "I know that I have an advantage over here in my turf, and I know that I can keep things under my control. However, the important question is, how do I get them to come to Nebula City?"

It was obvious that Susan had learned from her two previous failures and had realized that Alex was stronger than expected. She no longer wanted to risk anything.

The only reason she threatened Zachary's life was to get Alex to go to Lumenopolis. That meant that she must already have a trap set up over there to ensure that Alex wouldn't survive.

Why would she ever travel to Nebula City under those circumstances?

Susan set the whole thing up because she was certain that Alex wouldn't risk his father's life.

Naturally, Alex was well aware Susan's thought process, but in the end, the person that she had threatened was Alex's father.

He didn't dare to roll the dice, even if what Susan said was highly improbable.

Charlie was stumped. Earlier, Susan had allowed Shane to take Tim over, but she had since changed her mind. That meant that she had thought things through and strategized carefully. As such, there was no way she'd come to Nebula City.

"Susan had spent the time to set up a trap in Lumenopolis, so there is no way that she would come to Nebula City again. I might as well do as she wishes and go to her," said Alex firmly as he announced his final decision.

"But Mr. Jefferson, that is too dangerous," said Charlie as his eyes shone with worry for Alex.

"I've made my decision, Charlie. It doesn't matter if she had dragons or tigers standing by to kill me. I must go," insisted Alex as his eyes shone with unwavering determination.

After all, Susan had strangled his mother right in front of him all those years ago, it was nigh time he went back to make her pay for it.
