chapter 10 Hero saves beauty

In a narrow and dimly lit alley, seven or eight tough-looking guys surrounded a woman.
The woman had delicate features and long, flowing black hair, giving her an ethereal beauty.
However, her current condition seemed off. Her face was flushed, her gaze unfocused, and her legs appeared weak.
"Get out of the way!"
"You guys, move!"
She swung her handbag forcefully and staggered, attempting to break free from the circle of thugs.
But the men who had targeted her were not about to let her escape.
"Ha-ha, what a figure! Those legs are as fair as milk!"
"Hey, girl, don't struggle. Our Brother Mark chose you, and that's your lucky day!"
"That's right. Be smart and submit to our boss. We'll make sure you live the good life from now on!"
Their laughter became increasingly brazen, and the woman screamed in desperation. She scratched and clawed desperately but couldn't avoid the advances of these thugs.
Many passersby noticed the commotion and looked in their direction.
"Mind your own business and scram!"
A burly man with tattoos all over his arms stood nearby, berating the onlookers.
"It's Brother Mark!"
People whispered in shock.
Brother Mark was the local boss around here, known for his ruthlessness and quick retaliation.
They were just ordinary citizens and didn't dare to provoke such a local figure.
Seeing the frightened crowd dispersing, Brother Mark smiled smugly and rubbed his hands with excitement.
"Girl, you're dressed so alluringly. It's obvious you're here to catch a man's eye. We understand what you want."
"Don't worry. Brother Mark will serve you comfortably later, and I will keep it to your satisfaction!"
As the words fell, a burst of laughter rang out.
"Haha, that's right, our boss is doing a pretty good job!"
"Stop resisting, no one can save you today!"
Who among the people in this area didn’t know Brother Mark? They were pretty sure that no one would dare to interfere!
As their lewd comments continued, the woman's face, already flushed, grew even redder.
Seeing Brother Mark approaching with a smile on his face, she used all her strength to kick him with her high heels.
Unfortunately…
Brother Mark was also well-informed, so he easily blocked her leg and touched it easily.
"It's so silky, silkier than Dove."
He chuckled and touched the woman's belly.
"Go away, go away!"
The woman was so frightened that she screamed repeatedly, clenched her fists, and waved them around randomly.
Her eyes were a little blurry, but her brows were full of stubbornness. Seeing an opportunity, she rushed forward.
However, Brother Mark had no intention of letting her go and grabbed her with his hands!
All of a sudden, Alexander Xu rushed forward as fast as the wind, kicked Brother Mark to the ground, then took off his shirt, put it on the woman's shoulders, and pulled her close to him.
"Are you alright?" he asked with a calm and reassuring voice.
However, the woman seemed to have lost consciousness. She mumbled incoherently and didn't respond to his words.
Alexander Xu could smell a strong odor of alcohol coming from her. He furrowed his brow.
Automatically, a thought flashed in his mind:
The patient's current condition: Confused consciousness.
Cause: Drugged.
Treatment: Acupuncture to clear meridians and expel the drug from the body.
While Alexander Xu was momentarily lost in thought, Brother Mark managed to stand up with the help of his henchmen.
"Bastard!"
He rubbed his aching chest and spat hard on the ground.
"Who the hell are you? How dare you ruin my fun!" Brother Mark looked at Alexander Xu with contempt and shouted, "Put down that filthy woman and kneel before me to apologize, and I might spare your life!"
"Otherwise, don't blame me for being rude!"
Unbelievably, someone had dared to challenge him, and Brother Mark was furious.
His henchmen joined in, shouting as well. They outnumbered Alexander Xu, with seven or eight of them against one.
"Harassing a woman, is that what you consider bravery?"
Alexander Xu carefully placed the woman on the ground and stood up.
"Damn it!"
Brother Mark's anger flared. This young man was clearly underestimating him.
He raised his hand, pointed at Alexander Xu's nose, and yelled, "Get him, boys!"
With that command, the thugs closed in on Alexander Xu, brandishing their weapons menacingly.
Alexander Xu, though taken aback for a moment, forcefully clenched his lips and started looking for a way out.
He had gained some physical strength during his time in prison, but he was still an ordinary person. His two fists couldn't fend off four hands.
Moreover, these thugs were known for their ruthlessness, and they had weapons. Alexander Xu knew he couldn't withstand them in a direct fight.
But at that very moment, something peculiar happened. Deep within Alexander Xu's gaze, a strange glint appeared.
Suddenly, everything around him seemed to slow down, and the thugs' movements became clumsy, full of flaws.
It was as if time itself had been stretched infinitely in that moment.
What's happening?
Alexander Xu was momentarily stunned but then realized that this was undoubtedly the result of the “Divine Healers Scriptures.”
This skill was indeed mystical and incredible.
With newfound confidence, Alexander Xu charged forward.
"Kid, you are looking for death!"
Seeing that Alexander Xu actually dared to come over, the thugs all sneered and greeted him fiercely.
Alexander Xu was still charging forward, but suddenly he ducked, dodged a knife, and then kicked a thug in the chest.
The powerful force poured out, and the man flew more than two meters away!
At this time, another thug also rushed over and smashed Alexander Xu's head mercilessly with the beer bottle in his hand.
However, in Alexander Xu's eyes, the opponent's movements seemed to be slowed down many times. He easily dodged over, grabbed the opponent's neck, and knocked hard against the wall!
A loud thud echoed as the thug's head struck the wall, and he fell limp to the ground.
Brother Mark's eyes widened in shock, and a chill instantly surged up his back.
What kind of reaction speed was this?
Could this guy have eyes in the back of his head?
Unbelievable. Brother Mark had seen some strange things in his life, but this was beyond anything he had ever encountered. No matter how cunning their attacks were, this guy seemed to effortlessly avoid them.
Brother Mark had been with a few powerful figures in the past and had seen a lot, but this level of rapid reaction wasn't just quick reflexes; it was battle awareness.
There were very few individuals who could exhibit such supernatural abilities, typically those who had reached a certain level of martial prowess.
He had never expected that today while trying to flirt with a woman, he would encounter someone like this.
Another thug fell to the ground with a thud.
In the entire alley, only Alexander Xu and Brother Mark remained standing.
The cries of pain continued to ring out as the thugs writhed on the ground in agony. The gazes they looked at Alexander Xu were not only terrified, but also horrified!
Alexander Xu clapped his hands and looked at Brother Mark.
Their eyes met, facing Alexander Xu's cold eyes, Brother Mark's hand trembled, and the cigarette fell to the ground...
