The results of the interrogations with the captured troops, especially the fake god of thunder, were quite clear. From the skinny man's confession, not only Alex did understand the important intels regarding the Heavenly Gate, he had also discovered the location of Hafiz, the man who led the organization, the target of this mission.

Alex also learned about Hafiz's manipulation of the Saudi Arabia government. The man was currently controlling the mind of the Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia, thus the reason why they could take over the nation effortlessly and completely. After he knew everything he needed to know, Alex immediately prepared for the trip to Dubai. He couldn't wait to take the man's head on his own.

Before leaving for Dubai, Alex told Theo and the others to head to the Doomsday Pillar, which was the closest to Dubai city, after they treated the wounded. He instructed them to take control of the pillar to receive the army from Israel and wait for further instructions from him. Alex told them to go there to make sure they were safe if something were to happen to him.

Now that the preparations were complete and the orders were given, it was time for Alex to go, accompanied by Daisy and Tiffany. Alex told Tiffany to summon the beast. The young girl didn't even need to shout, as the flying bird immediately dived down from the sky when it saw Tiffany waving her hand.

[Mutated Garuda]

[Level 85 Mutated Beast]

[Tier 3 Mid Level]

Looking at the beast's stats, Alex couldn't help but be amazed by the incredible growth the beast had experienced in only a year's time. When the magnificent flying beast reached the ground, it immediately bent its body to let those who rode it had an easier time. 

Alex carefully lifted Tiffany and put her on Snowy's back. After making sure her daughter was safe, the next one to ride the bird was him. Alex stretched his hand towards Daisy to help her. Alex gave Daisy a protective goggle, which she received with a confused gaze.

Making sure they were already on top, he told Daisy to attach herself to the bird, while he helped Tiffany secure hers. There were leather straps and ropes on the bird's back to make sure those on top of it wouldn't freefall in the air.

"Hang on tight!" Alex said, while tapping the bird's back.

KWAACKKK!! KWAACKK!!

The bird immediately shot into the air at breakneck speed. Because of its incredible speed, the gusts it caused were incredibly strong, making Daisy instinctively close her eyes. When she realized she was wearing a pair of googles, Daisy couldn't help but blush in embarrassment. Thankfully, she sat in the back, with Tiffany in the front and Alex in the middle, thus no one saw her actions.

Alex then pointed out the direction they should go to Tiffany, who was able to communicate with Snowy through her mind. 

Initially, Alex was extremely shocked when he found out his daughter's ability. An ability he had never found in any other spirit enhancers on Earth, no matter in his previous or present life. An ability to communicate with mutated beasts and even be able to easily get close to them.

Seeing the boundless landmass before him, Alex estimated the distance between the Yemeni border and Dubai City to be around 800 kilometers. Therefore, he quickly calculated the time needed to reach the place.

"We should be able to arrive in 30 minutes or so." Alex softly muttered.

When Daisy, who was hugging Alex's back, heard this, she thought nothing of it. But then, she suddenly noticed an oddity in that statement. Tapping Alex's body, Daisy asked, "Brother Alex, is this Snowy's maximum speed?"

Alex thought for a moment before answering, "Sort of. Why do you ask?" Alex asked, wishing to know the reason for Daisy's question.

Daisy was silent, wondering if she should ask her doubt. A few seconds later, she finally decided to do so.

"The numbers don't add up. The distance between Yemen and Bali is around 8,000 kilometers, when drawn in a straight line. How were you able to come to our rescue so fast? It shouldn't have been more than two hours since Mr. Ardeth sent word for help." Daisy said. 

Before Alex could open his mouth, she continued her words, "Were you on the way here already?? Hmm… there's no way that's true. How did you know where we were then?"

Hearing Daisy's adorable mumbling, Alex couldn't help but loudly laughing. Realizing Alex was laughing, Daisy silently sulked and asked again, "So, how did you do it, Brother Alex?"

Laughing a little bit more, Alex finally answered her question, "Hahaha… you will see the reason soon enough, Daisy. Like a wise person said, seeing is believing."

Upon hearing that, Daisy gave up to pry the answer and just looked around enjoying the view. The yellow colored desert extended as far as her eye could see. 



Half an hour later, the trio saw the clusters of skyscrapers in the distance, as well as the iconic landscape of Dubai City, the tallest building in the world, the Burj Khalifa. 

They had finally reached the sky of Dubai.

Dubai was not a part of the kingdom of Saudi Arabia. The city was part of the United Arab Emirates. a federal elective constitutional monarchy formed from a federation of seven emirates.

Different from other Arabic states, Dubai was a cosmopolitan city with a lot of western influence.

Looking at the city from up in the sky, Alex could clearly see its entirety. Even though it had been a year since the apocalypse, Alex discovered the great city still managed to retain at least half of its previous brilliance, which was an extraordinary feat in these difficult times.

Alex shifted his gaze towards the southwest of the famous landscape, northwest his current position. A famous beachfront hotel was seen standing there, the location of his target. 

The Burj Al Arab hotel, standing at 1,053 feet tall, was the fourth tallest hotel in the world and was once described as the world's only seven-star hotel.

Pointing his finger towards the hotel, Alex said, "Daisy, that's the place. You can start using your ability."

"Okay, Brother Alex." Daisy replied, while closing her eyes. At the same time, Alex also asked Tiffany to ask the bird to approach the hotel.

[Detect Lifeform]

Daisy frowned when she sensed the hotel. She then quickly told her findings to Alex.

"It's heavily guarded, Brother Alex. There are dozens of Sky realm fighters on almost every floor."

"Did you find any sign of Hafiz? Can you see a place where there are the most number of guards?"

"Wait a minute…" Daisy said, "Yes, the top floor. There are about 30 fighters clustered together. Almost all of them are middle stage Sky realm fighters."

"Alright! Tiffany, please fly lower."

Snowy quickly flew near the top floor of the hotel. Seeing that, Alex slowly released his safety instrument.

"Are you really going to jump in directly by yourself, brother? I must remind you there are at least 1,000 Sky realm fighters in total around the hotel. This is very dangerous." Daisy said, as she tried to make Alex reexamine his decision.

Hearing that, Alex turned his head around and smiled, "Don't worry, Daisy. The reason I do this is because we need to be fast. If they received the news about the failed attack, I worried that slick Hafiz would run away again. Just remember our deal earlier, make sure you look after Tiffany." He then patted Tiffany's head and said, "Alright. Daddy will be going. See you later, Tiff."

Just like that, Alex jumped off the bird without using even a parachute and plunged right into the hotel. In midair, Alex positioned his body to make sure he would crash the top floor's window.

PRANK!!!

Glass shards bursted into the room interior, as Alex broke through the window. He quickly did a roll to ease the momentum and stood up right in the middle of dozens of surprised people. He looked around and found his target sitting at the head of the long table, Hafiz.

The man named Hafiz was quite shocked by the sudden intruder, a rare sight for a man who always liked to be in control of everything. Seeing the figure and realizing who he was, he pointed his finger and said, "You must be crazy! No matter how strong you are, in less than five minutes, hundreds of fighters will barge in to kill you!"

Alex wiped the glass shards off his shoulder, as he said calmly, "I just need to finish you off before that then."

"Hahaha! You really are crazy." Hafiz said. "Kill him!"

Dozens of fighters inside the room immediately dashed towards Alex with the intent to kill. Alex, on the other hand, calmly took out Strokes and muttered,

"Time to try out our new skill again, Strokes."

[Yes, Master]
