For some reason, the moment Alex Alden saw Aria Sterling, he had a strange feeling in his heart and couldn't bring himself to be ruthless. That was why he told Damian Xavier to get her to leave.
"Impossible. Why would I leave? I don't know what history you two have, but can't you sit down and resolve things calmly? Do you really have to fight to the death?"
Aria Sterling remained in front of Damian Xavier, afraid that Alex Alden would open fire the moment she moved.
Alex Alden himself was puzzled. Why did he get this strange feeling whenever he looked at Aria Sterling? It was an odd sense of familiarity.
What's more, he wasn't the least bit angry at Aria Sterling's attempt to reason with him.
Seeing Damian Xavier surrounded by Alex Alden's men, Tristan Xavier grew frantic. He wanted to charge in and fight Alex Alden head-on, but Vincent Vance reminded him that they couldn't let Aria Sterling get hurt.
