"Are you pleased?"Lewis's question hung in the air, and Amber froze in shock.However, it was not just Amber, but everyone, save for Alexander, was utterly taken aback.The mayor of Ol' Mare himself had come forward, offering Missus Thompson a villa in the name of neighborhood redevelopment. The de
Jacobsma Group from Province Town?!Amber's heart skipped a beat at what Lewis said, and her face paled."Don't worry about it."Alexander, ever so sharp-eared, had overheard everything. He gave Amber's hand a reassuring squeeze and offered her a comforting smile. "You heard the man. Mister Christia
'Is that really her?'Amber's expression stiffened even more!Back in college, she and Braylee were thick as thieves, but Braylee came from a modest background. They had lost touch after graduation.With Neil's relentless pressure, carrying Olivia, and being ousted from the Chesire family, Amber was
"No, that's not it… " Braylee's face turned ghostly pale as she shook her head desperately at Yorick. Her feeble attempt to lie fell flat. "Listen to me, Yorick. I can explain, I...""There's nothing left to say."Yorick's scowl melted away, replaced by a sly grin. "You're my girl, your past doesn't
'Think you can just walk away? You won't get far!'Yorick lounged in a restaurant corner, eyes fixed on Amber and Queenie. He fiddled with an empty bottle, spinning it between his fingers. He hurled the bottle to the floor only when they reached the door. His grin twisted. "If playing nice doesn't
"Miss Chesire, are you cold? You've been shivering the whole time. Yorick is really worried for you!" The SUV sped through downtown Ol' Mare, with Yorick sitting in the back seat, watching Amber trembling. With a lecherous grin, he said, "Take a nice hot bath once we get to the hotel. I'll warm yo
Meanwhile, Alexander gripped his phone tightly in the Chesire family living room in Belmont Hills. A murderous aura emanated from his entire being.'Yorick Schneider! That beast dared to kidnap Amber? He has a death wish!'"Daddy?"Olivia held a doll, looking up at Alexander with a puzzled expressio
Boom!Just before Yorick was about to pounce on Amber, the entire Marigold Grand Hotel trembled slightly as if a miniature earthquake had erupted. Even the explosion-proof glass windows embedded in the stairs showed spider web-like cracks!"What's going on?!"Yorick suddenly froze with one hand clut
"Kill!" As Alexander stepped onto the Empyrean Slope, a monstrous wave of killing intent crashed into his mind."Hmph, you think you're the only one fierce?" he muttered coldly, unleashing his own killing intent to counter the assault.He was the Temple Lord Kane, a man who had tread through mountai
At Battleforge Summit, a place where peril lurked at every turn.As the group continued their ascent, they lost a few more members. The ancient battlefield was riddled with deadly traps and poisonous remnants. The pools along the way harbored creatures so aggressive, it was clear they were not of mo
"Ah…" Alexander yawned, waiting patiently. Without a proper map, he would probably take half a day searching for directions. Battleforge Summit, though seemingly small, had a complex terrain.Time was slipping away, and Maxwell and Crimson Wyrm Master finally reached an agreement. The two-meter-wide
Early in the next morning, Maxwell's group of 40—the weakest among them a Lord of War—gathered quietly by the lake at the back of a mountain, somewhere in Shielded Valley. They stood in silence, their expressions grave.Though many had never ventured to Battleforge Summit, they had all heard of its
"Enemy attack!"Brenda sprang to her feet, drawing her sharp blade. Tensions had been high lately, and everyone's nerves were on edge."Perfect timing! I've been waiting to kill him sooner or later!"Alexander's killing intent surged, and his battle spirit ignited.Crimson Wyrm Master was destined t
As soon as Alexander asked the question, a heavy silence fell over the chamber. The three Guardians exchanged uneasy glances, but no one uttered a word."Never mind if you don't want to say anything, I'm just curious," said Alexander, sitting down cross-legged and closing his eyes to heal his wounds
"As you wish!"Crimson Wyrm Master channeled a furious surge of power into his spear, standing firm as he built up his momentum. Having fought to this point, he knew he had to unleash his most devastating attack."Here it comes!"All eyes were locked on the impending clash, each person holding their
"You fool! Don't think you'll be the last one laughing!"The Second and Third Guardians charged forward, joining forces to deflect Crimson Wyrm's relentless assault. Even with their combined strength, they could barely withstand a few moves."Do you really think we're without reinforcements?" roared
"Heh. I wouldn't dare accept your gift!" Maxwell scoffed, his voice steady despite the looming battle. Politeness had no place in this confrontation."Oh, but I'm sure you'll appreciate it," sneered Crimson Wyrm Master, his eyes gleaming with malice as he pointed at Darko, who lay crumpled on the gr
