The next morning at 10 a.m., Woolpackton's Grand Garethy Hotel was bustling on its top-floor banquet hall.It was not Ol' Mare's fanciest spot—just a four-star hotel—but with the year-end holidays still in full swing, snagging any room was a win. The holidays were the reason Amber's classmates could
Alexander slipped away unnoticed, and Amber's old classmates were too wrapped up in their revelry to care. They were toasting and laughing, lost in the joy of the reunion. Gael, in particular, was laying it on thick with Amber, egging her on to drink."I've had enough," Amber protested.The clock wa
In the hallway outside the VIP room, Gael called out, "Amber!"Gael raced toward Amber, his face flushed with heat and his eyes blazing with unmasked desire. "It's just us now, so let's cut to the chase."Do you dream of the Chesire family making it big in Province Town? It's a cutthroat place, and
At the corridor's end, Amber's face was a mask of despair.Gael had her cornered against the wall. She was a mix of tears and screams, fighting back with all she had. Gael, with eyes like fiery coals, kept puckering his lips, nearly planting them on her neck time and again."Amber, just give up, you
"Yeah, make him apologize to Gael!"In the hallway, several women helped Gael steady himself and wiped away the blood while they berated Amber and Alexander. "We're supposed to be friends. How could you let this happen to Gael?""Good thing Gael's got a big heart. If he'd called the police, you'd be
The moment Gael lost his temper, the security guards knew better than to waste another second. They whipped out their walkie-talkies urgently. "Mister Bacco, we've got trouble on the top floor. Mister Gael Fabin from the private room's been attacked, and it looks bad…""What are you telling me? Who'
The moment Alexander's text buzzed in, Drake sprang into action instantly.In a flash, he was out the door, still in his pricey silk PJs, with 'Ghost Sword' Wilhelm, the unbeaten champ of Province Town, by his side. They bolted from the back of Rectewald Mall's posh estates, Drake's slippers flappin
Gael's father-in-law, Bram Yablon, head of the Yablon clan, became a household name. The Yablon Pharma Group's smashing entry onto the NASDAK ballooned the family fortune to billions, catapulting them into Woolpackton's elite.For Gael, Bram was the last hope, the ace up his sleeve. Even the shadowy
"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
