Chapter 156 Compensation (Two in One)

Just as Alexander was thinking about how to clean up this mess, his men suddenly walked into the room and reported to him in panic.

"Oh no, sir, we have been invaded by the enemy."

"How many enemies are there?"

Alexander frowned.

Judging from the panicked look of his men, there must be a lot of people outside.

But when he heard the specific numbers, he was surprised.

"Two, probably a man and a woman, but there's no information about them in the database!"

"What did you say, only two people?"

Alexander's face immediately darkened.

As we all know, the fewer people there are, the bigger the matter.

Only two people dared to invade his dangerous place. The other party's strength must be extraordinary.

Maybe the base will be in great danger this time.

Just at this moment, the communicator on the table suddenly rang.

Hearing the buzzing sound, Alexander felt something was wrong. He picked up the communicator and put it to his ear and sure enough, bad news came again.

"Sir, the enemy's firepower is very fierce. The brothers can't hold it back. We need support. Please...ah!"

After a scream, all that was left on the other end of the communicator was noisy noise.

No need to guess, the person is definitely dead.

The situation became increasingly urgent. Alexander hurriedly picked up the phone on the table, dialed a familiar number, and was about to dispatch reinforcements for the rescue.

However, before the call was connected, a series of fierce gunshots suddenly rang out outside the room, followed by several screams of pain.

The next moment, the door of the room was broken down and two intruders broke in.

"What the hell!"

Although he knew that the enemy this time might be very strong, Alexander still felt a little embarrassed that his men could not hold out for even a short while.

You know, the security of his base is very strict, with at least dozens of armed guards protecting it inside and outside.

These guards are well-trained and have many years of combat experience. They are fully equipped with all imported goods, all produced by Stark Industries.

As for monitoring equipment, they are fully available and there are almost no blind spots.

Let's just put it that way.

If ordinary enemies come here, they will probably be eliminated before they even reach the gate of the base.

Even if the Hungarian special police force arrived, they might not be able to get anything good, and at least they would be skinned alive.

But now, just two people could break into his base, slaughter all his men, and appear in front of him in a swagger.

Alexander didn't curse at all and remained quite calm.

"Are you Alexander Covens?"

Raising her hand and shooting the last guard in the room, Selina took off her helmet and looked at the man sitting behind the desk in front of her.

It was hard to imagine that the legendary immortal Covens actually looked no different from an old man, which made her very disappointed.

"Alexander Covens, yes, I was called that name at one time."

In order to conceal his true identity, Alexander changed his name so many times that even he couldn't remember them all.

Now that it was mentioned again, he couldn't help but show a nostalgic look, recalling the old times in the past.

Of course, the past is the past, and what is important is the present.

Looking at the two uninvited guests who broke in, he hesitated for a moment, then said:
“The name is just a code name, but no matter what I am called, I am still your ancestor.

We are all family, so we should be polite to each other.

But what did you do? Not only did you break into my base, you also killed my men.

Most importantly, you brought a stranger who doesn't belong to us!"

Staring at Selina intently, Alexander spoke again.

"You know how dangerous humans are without me having to tell you. For centuries, I have been trying my best to eliminate all traces of the battle between vampires and werewolves. I am afraid that humans will discover us and cause the entire undead race to suffer a catastrophe.

But now, you have taken the initiative to expose our secret, Selina, you really disappoint me!"

I have to say that the old guy is good at taking the initiative.

After hearing all this talk, Selina felt a little embarrassed.

But when she calmed down and thought about it carefully, she immediately felt that something was wrong.

"Wait a minute, are you saying that vampires and werewolves have been fighting outside for thousands of years, and you just hid and watched for thousands of years without any intention of intervening or stopping it?"

Alexander described himself as being so great that it seemed that without him, the entire undead race would no longer exist.

But in fact, he did it all by himself.

If he had disciplined his son properly at the beginning, so many problems would not have happened later.

"What's wrong? Is there a problem?"

Alexander didn't take Selina's accusation seriously at all, and said as a matter of course:
"Do you want me, as a father, to kill my own son?"

You know what, Alexander really has his way.

It was obviously he who took the initiative to reason with her, but when Selina really started to reason with him, he brought up personal feelings.

After all this time, he ended up saying all kinds of good and bad things.

It is truly impossible for a needle to penetrate it and water to splash in. Its own defense is perfect!
But Selina still caught the flaw.

In terms of emotion and reason, it is indeed a bit excessive to let a father kill his son.

But in fact, Alexander didn't need to do that. He only needed to imprison William, the ancestor of the werewolf, and keep him by his side under strict supervision. Then there wouldn't be so many werewolf attacks on humans, and it would be difficult for a werewolf disaster to occur.

In that case, Marcus would not have formed an alliance with Victor in order to find his brother.

If Victor hadn't become a vampire, Selina's parents wouldn't have been killed.

Overall, it’s still a problem with Alexander.

No, he shouldn't be addressed as a human.

Ever since the plague caused his genetic mutation, he has possessed a long life and great strength.

Although he still maintains a human appearance and looks no different from a normal person, it is hard to say whether he really sees himself as a human being.

It is precisely because of this that Alexander can sit leisurely in his office and watch werewolves and vampires fighting each other like watching a movie.

As for the numerous casualties among humans caused by the civil war among the undead, Alexander was indifferent.

Anyway, they are not his own people, so he won’t feel sorry if they die.

As long as his two sons were fine, he didn't care what happened to other people.

“Also, Selina, what qualifications do you, a death walker like you, have to come and accuse me?

In the past few centuries, in order to avenge your parents, you have killed countless innocent werewolves, and your hands are stained with sinful blood!

Yes, you didn't kill as many people as Marcus and William, but killing is killing, there is no difference.

Don't try to make this declaration of justice to me. You are not worthy to stand here and talk to me.

In my eyes, you are no different from Marcus, and even worse than William!

At least William killed unconsciously, he just couldn't control his anger!"

Selina was already very sad today, having just learned the truth about her parents' death and realizing that she had been fooled for many years. Now, Alexander brought up the past and attacked her pain again, which made Selina even more uncomfortable, and the vulnerability hidden in her heart once again surfaced.

"This is different, this is totally different!"

Selina defended herself weakly, her tone somewhat sobbing.

Seeing this, Tommy took action at the right time.

He gently held Selina in his arms and soothed her in a comforting tone:
"Selina, don't be too sad, it's not your fault.

Blame Covens. Countless humans were killed because he couldn't accept the fact that his son was a monster.

Not only that, he also allowed his son to create more monsters, which is even more sinful and a heinous crime!
Am I right, Mr. Covens?"

When facing Selina, a family member, Alexander can still seize the opponent's weaknesses and preach his principles.

But when he met Tommy, whom he didn't know, he was immediately speechless.

Of course, he didn't say so much just to convince the two of them with reason.

The most critical purpose is to wait for reinforcements.

But his efforts were in vain.

Because, when Tommy rushed here, he had already sent his men to capture Alexander's various bases and cut off those people's contact with the outside world.

Looking at the time now, his men should have finished all the work.

Alexander might never get the reinforcements he wants in this lifetime.

As if he had realized this, Alexander was not going to sit still and wait for death. While Tommy was comforting Selina, he quietly opened the drawer of the desk, reached in with his right hand, and touched the cold thing inside.

It was a large-caliber pistol that he usually used for self-defense.

After all, it is a new era, and the undead must keep pace with the times. If they continue to fight foolishly with their fists, they will only be eliminated by the times and drowned in the tide of history.

Seeing that the two men hadn't noticed, Alexander quietly took out his gun, then suddenly raised the muzzle, pointed it at the two men in front of him, and pulled the fatal trigger!
Without any expression on his face, Alexander fired the shot without any hesitation.

He would do anything for his two sons.

What does a trivial matter like murder count for?

Oh, it can’t be said that there are two people, there is also a vampire inside.

From this perspective, it’s even less of a big deal.

However, the expected scene of blood and flesh flying everywhere did not happen before his eyes.

Thinking his movements were very covert, Alexander thought that no one would notice him.

But to be honest, what he did was like a primary school student eating snacks during class, and he could not hide it from the teacher's eyes at all.

Of course, it was impossible to hide it from Tommy.

The reason why Tommy remained silent was not because he didn't see it, but because he was too lazy to say anything.

Moreover, he would not think that Alexander would pose any threat to him.

Not to mention an ordinary pistol, even if Alexander threw a grenade at him, he could deal with it with a smile.

Therefore, when Alexander fired, Tommy turned around decisively, held Selina in his arms, and used his back to block all attacks.

Things changed so quickly that Selina had no time to react.

By the time she realized what was happening, the bullet had already hit Tommy.

"How is it, Master, are you hurt?"

With a look of emotion in her eyes, Selina spoke with concern.

Tommy shrugged nonchalantly, "Don't worry, it's just a little trouble. It can't hurt me."

Seeing that Selina didn't quite believe it, he turned around and let Selina see his back.

Sure enough, apart from a few holes in his clothes, there were no injuries on his body, not even the slightest trace.

It was as if nothing had happened.

If it weren't for the bullet casings dropped on the ground and the gunshots she just heard, Selina almost thought she was dreaming.

It is indeed a bit too outrageous to use human flesh to block a total of bullets.

But regardless of whether Tommy was hurt or not, Selina was still deeply moved by his behavior of protecting her regardless of his own safety.

If it was her former superior Victor, he would definitely not care about her safety.

"It's just a pity for my suit."

After taking off his coat, Tommy looked at the holes on it and frowned slightly.

This dress was custom-made for him by a famous Italian designer, and he plans to wear it to Kingpin's wedding in a few days.

But now with so many holes, this is definitely not possible.

Through the hole in his suit, Tommy cast his eyes on Alexander and said in an accusatory manner:

"Tell me, how are you going to compensate me for my losses?"

"How much do you want?"

Inspired by Tommy's indestructible performance, Alexander didn't dare to do it again.

Even an undead being as powerful as he was couldn't withstand the attack from the pistol.

But the human in front of him did this, so he had to become cautious.

Therefore, no matter how much Tommy asked for, he would not refuse.

Even if the other party asked for all his property, he would just smile and give all his property to them personally.

He was very clear about the principle of spending money to avoid disaster.

Money and other things are just external things.

Your own life is the most important thing.

It would be a real tragedy if a person died without spending the money.

"Name your price. No matter how much you want, I can meet your requirements."

Tommy was indifferent to his generosity.

"It's not your money I want."

He shook his head.

What a joke, he won’t even bother to talk to him about money, okay?
With a few side jobs and his own savings, Tommy is now worth at least tens of billions of dollars.

Although he is not as rich as the top American billionaires for the time being, he is still considered a top figure in the entire wealthy circle.

After all, it took him less than two years to get to where he is today.

Give him more time to develop, and God knows how far he will go.

Because of this, he has always been very popular in the circle and knows many senior government officials.

Now, Alexander wanted to bribe him with just a little money, how was that possible?
When Alexander heard Tommy say that he didn't want any money, he didn't feel relaxed. Instead, he became nervous.

If they don’t want money, it means that the other person wants something more important than money.

After considering the other person's human identity, he seemed to have figured out some things.

"Could it be that you also want to live forever?"

Thinking he had grasped the key point, Alexander regained his confidence.

But is the truth really as simple as he imagined?
