Chapter 40: Climbing the Ranking
Alex pondered as he walked. After climbing the ladder, the manuals for Nether Nine Slashes and Shadow Aegis should have arrived. I'll learn them, then head to the Demon Cave or the wilderness outside the city for some real combat trials.
Thinking of this, Alex stepped out of his villa.
Outside the gate, Drake, who had been arrogant just moments ago, was struggling to crawl up from the ground. He looked like a flattened pancake slowly re-inflating.
Drake looked up, his face filled with terror as he saw Alex approach. "You... what do you want?"
Just now, he hadn't even seen what hit him before a massive force slammed him into the pavement.
It was definitely this guy's doing!
But looking at the handsome young man before him, Drake was confused. He knew every major player in the Capital. He had never seen this person before.
Alex raised an eyebrow. "Nothing. Just curious why you were barking at my door."
