"Xavier!" Alex gritted his teeth. His eyes blazed like hellfire, stopping himself with all his might.
Xavier didn't move and he looked back at Alex with a cold expression.
"Let her go," Alex demanded but a small smile just curved on Xavier's lips. He averted his gaze towards Abi, and then he lifted his hand. He held something and showed Alex - he held the trigger of the bomb in his hand.
"I know you are fast Alex, so this is the only way. No matter how fast you are, you can't be as fast as me pressing this button," Xavier said causing Alex to clench his fists tight.
"Tell me, why are you doing this?" Alex asked after a while of silence. His eyes calm but Xavier knew that behind those calmness lies a demon ready to go berserk.
Xavier looked intently into Alex's eyes again and he sighed. "So this is how it feels to have the most powerful man at your mercy, huh?" He smirked, his eyes moving yet sad again.
