"Go ahead," Alex said, nodding.

Autumn felt embarrassed that Alex was still so patient with her. After all, he had done her a huge favor when he helped her out with her issue with David.

She really did not want to bother Alex anymore, but she knew he was the only person she could count on, else her friend would really be in deep trouble. She thought of the wellbeing of her friend and just bit the bullet. "The thing is this. I have a close friend who's studying at a university. She used to be an outgoing and cheerful person, but I feel like she's changed recently. I think it's because of her boyfriend," Autumn said, looking at Alex.

Seeing he was still listening attentively without raising any questions, she continued, "I notice her actions. have become very extreme recently. Once she had a fight with her boyfriend, and she almost jumped off the building if I had not stopped her. After that, her boyfriend even persuaded her to swallow some sleeping pills to kill herself. Luckily, I intervened and sent her to the hospital in time

Autumn's gaze lowered as she recounted the story. "There's no getting her back anymore. She's completely under his influence. Not only did she not thank me for saving her, she thought I was trying to break their relationship. We quarreled over this a few times, and she even cut me off completely, but I realized she's back to her limbo again recently. I tried talking to her again, but I ended up getting a good scolding I really don't want anything to happen to her."

Alex thought for a bit and finally spoke. "Does the guy know some black magic or something?"

Autumn shook her head. "I don't think so. I did some research online, and I realized that there is actually a community of lady-killers like him online. They identify as pickup-artists and have a knack for bespelling women and controlling them."

Autumn was enraged talking about them. "They seem to be innocuous because they pursue women and date them like regular men, but in reality, they control these women and make them do all sorts of things in the name of love, including dying for the man they love. The victims are usually naive and inexperienced women. They fall for these traps gradually, and they always end up hurting themselves. Some of them even died because of these so-called 'pick-up artists. Men like them really deserve to die."

"I'm not aware this," Alex noted with a frown.

"There are people like this," Autumn insisted, "I didn't know about this until I saw what happened to my friend. It wasn't until I did a thorough check that I realized there are actually a lot of sc*mbags like her boyfriend. They derive joy from playing women, and they are heartless."

"This cannot go on. Lives are at risk," Alex said coldly.

Autumn nodded fervently at his remark. "This is not the first time this guy has preyed on girls at our university. One of the girls got pregnant last year, and she jumped off the building. I heard people saying he was the one who talked her into it. There's also another girl who slept with him. When he found out that she was not a virgin, he shamed her, and she ended up taking her life after writing a suicide note saying she was filthy. She jumped into the river and died. There's another incident where one of the girls became mentally unstable because of him. She left school after that. Come to think about it, a handful of girls have fallen for his ploy, and two died because of him."

Alex's frown deepened. Never once had he thought that there would be people as vicious as this man. He decided to act. "I'll look into this. Arrange a time for me to meet this friend of yours."

Autumn was on the verge of crying when she heard Alex finally agreed to help. She was so grateful she held his hand and thanked him profusely. "I'm so happy to hear this, Alex. We can finally put an end to my friend's suffering."

"This kind of irrational behavior stemmed from prolonged exposure to ill-intended mental suggestions. I'm not sure if I can break this guy's power of influence over her, but it's definitely worth a try." "I'm sure you can save her." Autumn nodded in agreement.

"What about tonight? Are you free? I can arrange for you guys to meet up."

"Sure. It'd be best if I could meet this guy too. Does he go to your university too?"

"Yes. He's one of the cool guys at our university. He's handsome and popular. I heard that he came from a well-off family, and he knows his ways with girls."

Alex smirked. "It looks like his name precedes him. I can't wait to see him in person and see for myself his ability. It's time I teach him a good lesson."
