As soon as the whip wrapped around Alex's ankle, he lost his balance.

He fell hard to the ground and hurt himself badly, resulting in a scratch on his nose and a loose front tooth.

"Who the f*ck is that?" As he wiped away the blood from his nose, he growled, "Who dares to hit me?"

"That will be me," Paige admitted as she withdrew the whip and walked out from the crowd. "I'm the one you're looking for. What are you going to do?"

She was wearing her military uniform instead of the black leather jacket before. The badge with two stripes and a star on her shoulder indicated her rank as a major, coupled with her charismatic aura, which made her look stunning and authoritative.

"M-Major?" Alex was shocked to see her rank. He might usually be arrogant, but offending the military major was different.

He gulped in cold fear as he pointed at Kingsley to explain. "M-Major, I'm just teaching him a lesson! He's—"

However, Paige didn't wait for him to finish as she waved at Kingsley. "What a coincidence! We meet again!"


Her solemn expression was gone in a second, and a blooming smile replaced it.

The others, including Alex and Levi, didn't miss her change, but they had no words to express their surprise.

It was a massive contrast before and after her mood change.

After a while, Alex was the first one to come back to his senses. He gave Kingsley a thumb-up and said sarcastically, "Kingsley, I need to respect you for this. You're truly the first man in history to depend on so many women at one time. Not only Reene and Cecelia, now you even know a beautiful lady like the major!"

Paige gave no response to his words, but a blush could be seen creeping on her face.

Alex wiped the blood on his face once more, then fell back to Levi's side. "Levi, what are we going to do? She looks like another patron of his."

Levi didn't answer as thoughts were running through his mind. The Steins might be influential in Cleapolis, but they were nothing compared to the military. Even though he could dominate others, he held no chance against the army and could only back down.

"Alex... I think we shall stop here." Levi suggested after his long contemplation. "We can wait until after the banquet. Just don't provoke the military."

Alex looked at him with a shocked face. "Levi, you're sparing him?"

"Spare him?" Levi sneered. "I'll help you with your plan after the banquet. How is that?"

"I'm good with that." A glint of coldness shone in his eyes as he pointed at Kingsley. "I'll spare you for now. I promise I'll make you suffer when the banquet ends."

At that, they turned on their heels and headed toward the banquet hall in Marley Hotel.

The onlookers pouted at how things ended. "I thought he was someone capable when he saved the old man. And that's all we can see!"
