Several people in a black outfit surrounded the Villa Alex stayed at. The walk swiftly with almost no sound at all. These are a group of Ninja Assasins. They are the Japanese mysterious mercenaries. Master in the art of fighting called ninjitsu. Their existence in the modern world is still somewhat a mystery. They are specialized in information spying or political assassination. Tonight they are coming for Alex, fortunately, he was prepared.
From a boat 700 meter from the beach facing the Villa.
"1,2.., five hostile confirmed", they are approaching, currently 10 meters away from the villa. Target locked permission to take the shot."
"No Aria, hold the shot, I can take care of this"
Alex already knew since the event, especially showing off the spirit stones, there will be some group of people who want to mess with him. he actually waiting for it.

SLASHHHH... SLASHHHH...
Two of the ninja move swiftly slashing their katana. Alex manages to dodge it.
SHHHHTTT... SHHHHTTT...
Two more moves together filling up the empty space next to Alex. now Alex completely surrounded.
.
"You boys coming to kill me or coming to capture me?"
"...."
"Are you guys mute? You guys really are the best assassin"
When he was about to counter-attack, a sound came up from his earphone.
"Alex more are coming"
"How many?"
"Just one, its a woman.... you will not like this... its Christina"
"..."
Alex finally stop playing around, he needs to finish this group of assassins or it might endanger his friend. Although this group of assassins actually better in hand to hand combat compared to any of the special forces soldiers, they are still no match to Alex. high-rank stage mortal realm, medium grade movement techniques, 10 plus years of combat experience and a storage ring full of weapons.
Alex dodges one of the ninja slashes with the hexagram step, one side step, and elbow. "BAMMM!!.. took his short sword while at it, turn around and slash the other 2 ninjas on his back. he then jumps up and threw the short sword and stab the fourth ninja. 4 expert ninjitsu martial artist down in less than 3 seconds. The fifth ninja on the back shocked.
When Alex was just about to attack, the door already open, the panic fifth ninja was startle. He quickly draws his sword and slashes it up to the woman who just came in through the door.
Alex was startled he took out a gun from the storage ring, but it seems it won't be fast enough...
The ninja movement was swift and his katana slash even faster... Christina opens the door and being welcomed with such a scene... she was shocked.
SLAASSHHHHH.....
SHHHHHTTTTT..... SPLATT...
before the sword reaches out to her, the ninja's head explodes, blood splash all around the room, it also splashes some on Christina's face... she was stunned and was about to scream when he saw Alex make a hand sign to her not to make a loud noise... Alex took her to the sofa to sit.
"Great shot Aria"700-meter headshot passing through the window from a slightly moving boat.
Aria answered, "don't be too comfortable three-speed boat moving to your location ETA two minutes at least a dozen hostile, should I take the shot?"
"Negative... draw them in first"
Alex kneeling in front of Christina and say
"you came at a bad time, next time call first, did you ate the stone I gave you yet?"
Christina shook her head "Do you have it in you?"
She nodded "Good, eat it now and quickly lay low and move to the bedroom and lay down, more hostile are coming"
"Alex I count 18 of them, they seem to be amateur, from the clothing and weapon I am 80% sure they are related to the Somalian pirates. They are now 50 meters from your location how do you want to proceed?"
Alex calmly answered "I will stay in here to distract them. Aria you start shooting from the one in the back. Jerry took the rest from the sides. Remember do not kill them... disable only..."
"Ok" "Affirmative"
The result of the battle is obvious. Aria easily picks them up with her snipping abilities. In the middle of the night within the darkness, Jerry's knife skill and speed are uncanny. None of the pirates seen him coming. 18 hostile down less than 3 minutes.
Aria still stays on the boat as a lookout in case more coming. inside the villa, Alex Jerry and Christina saw all 22 captured hostiles. Alex didn't bother to interrogate them, they are mercenaries so probably doesn't know much except money.
Christina somehow still confuse, she came because she heard about yesterday event from her parents. She cannot believe what she heard. The person her parents describe is not the Alex she knew. But now seeing this bloody scene she understand. The spirit stone she ate also has taken effect on her body, she is now a middle-rank mortal realm spirit enhancer. Christina is a unique spirit enhancer talented in gravity power. But she never has trained like Jerry or Aria. Now that she already reaches the middle stage, it will be easier for her to train her talent. Alex told Jerry to drive Christina back to her home. Now that she somehow believe what Alex told her to be the truth she moves closer and hugged Alex... Then she left.
.
.
Alex somehow worried about her safety too, he hopes she will survive the disaster.
.
Now there are only Alex with 22 lowlifes in front of him. Pirates and assassins this won't be too difficult for him. Alex took out the amulet of the sun from his storage rings. A slaughter concluded the night. Aria still viewing the scene from afar, she saw what Alex did, she feel unsettled about it.
