chapter 32 The Li family was destroyed ===

As the battle at the villa was drawing to a close, the fight at the Li family's mid-mountain villa was also nearing its end. Alexander Xu had already annihilated an elite guard unit. He couldn't help but admit that this guard unit was indeed strong, but unfortunately for them, their opponent was Alexander himself! Now, only an old man stood in front of him. "I knew the Xu family would send someone, but I never expected it to be you!" Brian Li looked at the young man before him with a gloomy gaze. He never thought that this young man, known as a prodigal son, was actually a superb master. His carefully nurtured guards were swiftly wiped out by this opponent. The so-called hidden power of the Xu family turned out to be this once-called wastrel. Without a doubt, this young man had concealed his true abilities very successfully! He had once compared his grandson, Jason Li, with Alexander Xu, only for Jason to say it was an insult. It showed how much of a 'waste' Alexander was in his grandson's eyes. Yet today, the very person his most proud grandson considered worthless had become the main culprit in the destruction of the Li family! Alexander looked at the old man, a smile appearing on his face, "I didn't expect that in a place like Tianhai, there would be a master like you! It seems the Li family's decades-long control over southern Tianhai wasn't just luck." He had already briefly clashed with this old man. Without using his innate powers, he had a slight upper hand but couldn't quickly finish off this cunning old man. "Post-Innate Limit" – that was Alexander's assessment of this old man. Anyone who could reach the Post-Innate Limit was a true external martial arts master! In modern times, due to the power of firearms, few people endure the hardships of learning traditional martial arts, leading to the loss of many such arts. Those who can train to the Post-Innate Limit are extremely rare! As for Alexander, if it hadn't been for the old man forcing him during his childhood, he wouldn't have learned "Dragon's Command" nor achieved his later accomplishments. "Heh, I'm old and no longer useful! Tianhai will eventually become the world of you young people," Brian Li laughed at himself. Glancing toward the depths of the darkened villa, he asked with interest, "Before we fight to the death, do you want to meet a familiar face?" "Who?" Alexander frowned slightly. Did the Li family have some trump card? Or had they captured one of his relatives or friends as a hostage? Brian Li lightly clapped his hands, and two burly men in black pushed forward a man with sharp daggers held to his neck. Looking at this man's face carefully, Alexander Xu's pupils suddenly shrank and he clenched his fists tightly! This is the person he just met during the day, Jeremy He, deputy captain of the criminal police! Didn't he go to deal with his brother-in-law's funeral? How could he be caught here and tortured like this? Jeremy was almost beaten into a human shape now, his face was covered with dripping blood, and one of his ears was cut off. If he hadn't seen this man during the day, Alexander would hardly recognize him. Looking at Alexander's expression, Brian knew that he had made the right bet. He originally thought that this person was of no use. If his good grandson hadn't stopped him, he would have killed him. Brian looked at Alexander and smiled, "Before you came, I had already been assassinated once. Unfortunately, he was too arrogant. A mere criminal policeman also wanted to take my life?" In the eyes of a master like him, who has acquired the Post-Innate Limit, Jeremy He is undoubtedly like a toddler. Jeremy was discovered by his guards as soon as he sneaked into the Li's villa. "Young Master Xu... leave me alone... kill him... take revenge for Andrew..." There was no disappointment or pain on Jeremy's face, only a cheerful smile. When he was locked in the room just now, through the narrow window, he witnessed Alexander's power. Those who were already masters in his eyes were vulnerable to Alexander's hands! Shocking! He didn't expect that this playboy was actually a well-hidden master! Although he was shocked, he smiled. He knew that Alexander must have come here to avenge Andrew Yang! Even if he couldn't personally avenge Andrew, he would still be satisfied if he could see the destruction of the Li family! "Brother He!" This was the first time Alexander called Jeremy this way. His eyes were bloodshot. It was the first time he admired Jeremy so much! He knew that Jeremy, like Andrew, was a man of strong principles. However, to avenge his brother-in-law, Andrew, this self-disciplined man abandoned his steadfastness as a policeman and ventured alone into the wolf's den to assassinate Brian Li. Unexpectedly, he was captured and tortured by this cunning old man! He couldn't fathom the depth of friendship between Jeremy and his brother-in-law! Out of respect for this bond, Alexander began to struggle internally. He didn't want to let the sly Brian Li go, but neither did he want to see Jeremy die before his eyes. Jeremy saw Alexander's struggle, a trace of determination flashed in his eyes, and he roared, "Kill him!!!" After saying that, he suddenly moved forward, letting the sharp blade cut his neck artery... The gushing blood stung Alexander's eyes red. "I want you to die!"Alexander finally could no longer suppress the anger in his heart and moved forward quickly. Before the two big men in black could recover, two heavy punches had already opened their skulls. "Why are you doing this..." Alexander knelt down and looked at Jeremy with blood spurting from his neck. He felt mixed emotions in his heart, including emotion, anger, and a hint of helplessness. He admired Jeremy's courage, was moved by the brotherly love between him and Andrew, was angry at the torture the Li family inflicted on this hard-blooded man, and felt helpless because of his determination. It was obvious that Jeremy had already been prepared to die before he came. A relieved smile appeared on Jeremy's face, and the corners of his mouth moved slightly. Alexander quickly covered his bleeding neck with his hands. Jeremy said slowly, "Help me... take care of... Amelia... and... Ms. Lin...mother and daughter, I want..." Before he finished speaking, his breath was gone. He died with a smile and satisfaction on his lips! Less than twenty-four hours after his best brother Andrew died, the brothers were reunited in another world. Before Andrew entered the operating room, he entrusted Hannah and his daughter to him, and now he entrusted Hannah and his daughter to Alexander! Unknowingly, the corners of Alexander's eyes were slightly moist. Jeremy was a real hero, but it was a pity that his death was not worth it. Such people should die while performing their missions. That is their best destination. Alexander stretched out his slightly trembling hands and helped the dead Jeremy close his eyes. He stood up slowly, looked at the stunned Brian Li, gritted his teeth, and said word by word, "How you...want....your.....death?" Brian Li never imagined that the man would make such a choice. From their brief encounter, he had gauged Alexander's strength and knew he couldn't guarantee a victory. He had planned to use Jeremy as leverage against Alexander, but to his surprise, Jeremy was incredibly resolute. People like him could never understand the depth of brotherhood that bound individuals together in life and death. "You are indeed strong, but you underestimate me!" Brian Li regained his composure, his face showing a mix of frenzy and excitement. Having dominated Tianhai for decades, he hadn't experienced such an exhilarating fight in a long time. Facing a formidable opponent, he felt as if he had returned to his fiery youth. Confronting the suddenly invigorated Brian, Alexander looked at him with disdain, sneering, "You have lived long enough, it's time for you to be buried. Today, I will send you on your way and show you the gap between the Innate and the post-Innate!" Though the Post-Innate limit was just a step away from the Innate Realm, many external martial arts masters could never cross this threshold in their lifetime. The Post-Innate focused on physical training, whereas the Innate was about cultivating Qi. To ordinary people, Innate masters were almost like deities! "Innate!" Fear finally appeared in Brian's eyes. As a master at the Post-Innate Limit, he was well aware of how terrifying an Innate existence could be. If this young man before him was an Innate master, he knew there was no chance for him to survive. The gap between the Innate and Post-Innate was vast! Before he could react, he saw a flurry of blade shadows enveloping him, forming a massive net. The sound of the blade cutting through the air was faintly audible. Releasing Qi externally – this was the biggest difference between the Innate and Post-Innate! After the flash of the blade, Brian murmured in disbelief, "So this is the Innate Realm..." Before he could finish his sentence, his body suddenly burst apart, blood splattering three meters away, filling the air with a strong scent of blood. Alexander didn't spare a glance at the remains on the ground. He walked over and gently lifted Jeremy's body. Kicking Brian's head towards the door of the Li's villa, he used it to declare the end of the Li family. He should have felt happy about destroying the Li family, but at that moment, he couldn't bring himself to feel joy, feeling an inexplicable heaviness in his heart. He sighed deeply as he looked at Jeremy's body in his arms and slowly walked out of Li's villa. After a while, he returned and placed Jeremy's body under a large tree outside the Li's villa. He found paper and pen inside the house and slowly wrote, "The undersigned exterminated the Li family. This man repeatedly obstructed me, and thus I killed him. Considering his dedication to duty, his corpse is placed here, so it won't be tainted by the Li family's filth." He did this to prevent others from knowing Jeremy, a policeman, had acted as an assassin. That would tarnish Jeremy's reputation. Jeremy was a hero and deserved to be remembered as such. After leaving the note in the pocket of Jeremy's bloodstained shirt, Alexander disappeared into the vast night.
