His Lordship Alexander Kane by Useless Caesar

Chapter 0651 Dusk was setting in. About two kilometers away from the Grand Coconut Breeze Hotel, there was a 24-hour leisure cafe where Coral sat indulging in a large box of chocolate cookies, while holding a fresh coconut, leisurely sipping its juice. She looked content.

"This coconut water is really doing wonders for my skin." Amber was seated next to Coral, lightly touching her hand with a dab of coconut juice and spreading it gently across her skin. She reveled in the silky sensation, her face lighting up with delight. "Alex, we could totally turn these coconuts into a groundbreaking skincare line." "Mm... How about 'Natural Cocohol'? It'll fly off the shelves!" Nice name, Natural Cocohol.

Alexander grinned and turned to Wasyl, who was sitting by his side. In a low voice, he instructed, "Start buying up the island's coconuts tomorrow. I want at least seventy percent of the harvest. Any issues with that?" 70 percent?! Wasyl felt a jolt of concern. He quickly assessed the island's situation, his expression showing a touch of worry. "Mister Kane, back home, this wouldn't be an issue, but Coconut Wind Island is Cloud Tiger's turf. He controls most of the coconut yield, and I..." Cloud Tiger again.

"In three days, there won't be a Cloud Tiger on Coconut Wind Island," Alexander said calmly as if it were nothing. "The finance department will wire the funds for the coconuts. Now, any problems?" Wasyl shuddered, then hurriedly replied, "Without Cloud Tiger in the way, buying the coconuts will be easy-peasy." He was cut off mid-sentence.

"Looking to buy up a bunch of coconuts?" A middle-aged man with a limp and a face full of pockmarks hobbled over from a short distance away. He chuckled at Alexander and the group. "You should've come to me. I won't claim to know much else, but when it comes to coconuts, I'm your guy on this island." As he spoke, his eyes lingered on Amber, his grin widening. ""Miss, do you have a moment to check out my warehouse? I've got top-notch coconuts, all sourced from this very island. And the price... Well, let's take a look at the coconuts first, then we can hammer out the details." Was that guy peddling coconuts? Amber eyed the limping man and shook her head gently. "Sorry, but my husband has someone else handling our coconut purchases. If you're looking to make a deal, we can sit down and talk it over properly." She nodded toward Wasyl, who stood nearby.

A deal? He was not looking to make a deal; he wanted her isolated.

""Come on, don't be shy, miss!" The limping man ignored Wasyl completely, his gaze locked on Amber as he chuckled. "Let's go take a look at those coconuts. My warehouse is just around the corner. Once you see them, I bet you'll be ready to talk business!" As he spoke, his hand crept toward Amber, nearly snagging her arm.

"Are you with Cloud Tiger?" Alexander finally spoke up, his voice | composed and detached as he stared down the limping man. "You talk about showing coconuts, but you skirt around the actual business.

Seems to me you've got something else in mind.

"Are you thinking...kidnapping? That's a pretty low move." Kidnapping? Amber's expression shifted subtly as she instinctively edged closer to Alexander, her eyes wary as she sized up the limping man. She trusted Alexander's instincts—that guy had been off from the start, definitely bad news.

"Cloud Tiger? Never heard of him!" The man with the limp kept a wide grin on his face, casually touching the scar on his cheek as he let out a low chuckle. "Name's Vidit.

Everyone around here knows me. You're here for coconuts, right? Let's stick to business. Why fuss about anything else?" Vidit?

Next to Alexander, Wasyl's face took on a thoughtful look, then " suddenly it went pale as if a lightbulb had gone off in his head. "Mister Kane, I've heard that name. He was a coconut vendor before, but then he got mixed up with the Cloud Tigers. He's the one supplying coconuts to most of the traders around here!" So he knew Cloud Tiger after all.

In that instant, Alexander's eyes grew sterner. "Surprised, are you? The boss of Spring Sunshine Travel Agency has crossed paths with your gang before. It didn't take much to uncover your real identity.

"Still going to deny it? Your act is so bad it's painful to watch!" In a flash, Vidit's face went white as a sheet.

He might have been part of the Cloud Tigers, but he always worked under Quinto and did not know much about the gang's inner workings.

He never imagined that someone in Alexander and Amber's company could blow his cover.

"Back at the Grand Coconut Wind Hotel, you were behind the poisoning, and now you're plotting a kidnapping." Alexander spoke with a detached demeanor, his eyes piercing. "That waitress, I only took out her vital energy. I didn't go for the kill, but you..." Mid-sentence, his right hand made a swift move.

A coconut on the coffee table in front of him shot up like it was fired from a gun, cutting through the air with visible waves, and crashed hard against Vidit's skull! ' Blood splattered, and bone fragments scattered everywhere.

Vidit did not even see it coming. A sudden blow to the head, as if struck by a falling coconut, shattered his skull. He dropped like a stone, limbs twitching wildly as he Iet out a few tortured cries before his body went rigid. He passed out unconscious on the spot.

"An ant's life is hardly worth a second thought," Alexander muttered, not sparing a backward glance at Vidit as he rose and strolled over to the cafe's counter to pay his tab.

He eyed the cashier, who was shaking like a leaf, and said in a low voice, "If Cloud Tiger's goons come snooping around, tell them I'll be at the Grand Coconut Breeze Hotel.

"Time to settle the score, once and for all."
