Chapter 716 Pay With Your Life

"I will help you teach them a lesson."

If Alex had not found Stanley in the nick of time, he would have found two dead children instead of one.

Furthermore, both perpetrators had kicked his son. Even when Stanley made a mistake, Alex would patiently explain it to him and had never raised a hand against him.

Watching Alex approach gradually with murderous intent, Ace and Deuce gulped as they retreated in fear.

It wasn't until they stumbled into the two black-clad men that they stopped. Deuce was the first to speak. "Good sir, please let us go! Since your son is fine, and you haven't suffered any loss, there's no need fo any animosity, is there? We have some powerful backers, or else we wouldn't have dared conduct such risky business."

Although Deuce was begging Alex for mercy, he still hoped that Alex would quit while he was ahead and look past what they had done..

From Deuce's perspective, he had been beaten up while Alex's son had been found.

When Alex detected the threat in Deuce's words, he replied with a smirk, "Do you expect the matter to end just like that?"

Nodding, Deuce answered submissively. "I admit what I've done is wrong. However, do I really deserve to die for it? Furthermore, isn't your son unharmed? Why don't I compensate you, and we can all be friends? After all, it's always better to have one inore friend than another enemy, isn't it?"

Slap!

Alex slapped Deuce on his cheeks without any hesitation. He sneered, "There's no way I'm going to be friends with the likes of you. Even if God himself is here, you will still get the punishment you deserve!" Dazed by the slap, Deuce was no longer in the mood for any negotiations. He threatened, "Why don't you take the chance I'm giving you? Do you know who my boss is? He is from the Wallace family of Lumenopolis, the most prominent family in the nation. Laying a finger on me is the equivalent of challenging the Wallace family directly."

Alex recalled that the Wallaces had always been at odds with the Jeffersons. Both families were always in conflict with each other while fighting for their own interests.

However, from Alex's perspective, he would kill anyone that harmed his son, regardless of how powerful they were.

"I will take your life today, even if it means making enemies of the Wallace family!" Alex retorted plainly.

Baffled by the fact that Alex was unfazed by his threats, Deuce was curious as to who he really was and why the Wallaces didn't scare him.

Hence, he asked, "Who are you? Can you at least tell me your identity before I die?"

"I'm Alex Jefferson," Alex simply replied with his name.

Alex Jefferson?

Deuce had a sudden realization. He remembered Ace telling him that the infamous piece of trash, Alex Jefferson, had gone after Glasses after his son went missing. However, the person in front of me looks like the god of death. How could he be the infamous piece of trash from Nebula City?

The next moment, Deuce tried to console himself that Alex's bark was worse than his bite.

How could a loser from Nebula City be mentioned in the same breath as the Wallace family from Lumenopolis?

Holding that thought, Deuce steeled himself and berated, "You are a f*cking piece of trash! Let me go before you die without even realizing it!"

Letting out a mischievous smile, Alex grabbed Deuce by the neck and lifted him off the ground.

He really is stubborn even in the face of death.

As he began to suffocate, Deuce could even hear his own groans as he gasped for air.

He knew Alex was going to strangle him to death at the rate they were going.

At that moment, he reached for his gun hidden behind his back.

If I can't escape, I will take you down with me!
