Meanwhile, in the outskirts of Zabaleta City…A bright red Porsche drove along the suburban road. Ray dutifully steered the wheel with precision.Alexander sat in the passenger seat, glancing at the message just received on his phone, his eyebrows slightly raised.It had been over two hours since they left the Ledger family villa. Kelvin and Wanda had returned to their respective homes, but Alexander did not immediately head back to Ol' Mare. After reading the text message, he spoke to Ray in a hushed tone, "Our next destination is Zabaleta Central Hospital. Let's go."Ray floored the accelerator, speeding toward Zabaleta City Central Hospital.…Central Hospital, in an ordinary ward at the inpatient building.Andrew had just undergone surgery. His body was wrapped in bandages, and an empty blood bag hung on the injection stand beside his bed, indicating significant blood loss that had required necessary transfusions."You risked your life to take the blame; you have commendable loyal
Alexander swiftly left the Central Hospital in Zabaleta City and hurried back to Ol' Mare with Ray overnight.Just as the Porsche entered the expressway toll station, Alexander's phone in his pocket vibrated. It was an incoming call."Maxine?" Alexander raised an eyebrow slightly and slid his finger to accept the call. "I've received the video concerning Molly. You handled it well."Maxine's voice was slightly tense as she spoke, "My Lord, I apologize for disturbing you late at night. It's not about Molly but another urgent matter. Just ten minutes ago, the 'Blood Assassins' organization issued a bounty for the assassination of high-level members of New Chesire Group."The identity of the bounty issuer is temporarily unknown, and I'm currently investigating."A bounty?Alexander's eyes narrowed slightly.The Blood Assassins were an ancient force entrenched in the continent for over 150 years. Its main member structure was extremely mysterious, and it operated by receiving and issuing b
The echo of George's words reverberated, casting a deathly silence throughout the entire corridor.Amber, Patrick, and the elite bodyguards responsible for their protection felt their hearts racing, their faces tight with tension.Since the establishment of New Chesire Group, they had faced countless troubles, mentally prepared for any situation that might arise. However, the presence of a lurking Grandmaster, a ruthless killer, created an invisible pressure that left them breathless."Hehehe…"Not far from the corridor, the outer window of the restroom quietly opened. The figure of an old woman, seemingly bent with age, gently descended from the windowsill. She appeared to be around her sixties, her wrinkled face adorned with a faint mocking smile."George, Amber, Patrick—three prime targets. I'll gladly accept this 4.5-million bounty!"The woman leisurely walked out from the restroom doorway. Upon seeing the hunched old woman, several elite bodyguards stiffened, but without a hint o
Amber, Patrick, and George appeared destined for certain death.Dragon Two, Five, and Nine could not react in time. They watched, wide-eyed, as ice needles flew before them. In reality, they could not discern the trajectory of the ice needles, unable to keep up with their speed.It was a scene of de
The pain due to the snapped arm elicited a miserable scream from the Chameleon Enchantress. Her wrinkled 'old face' twisted intensely with pain, and the lifelike human skin on her face gradually peeled away, revealing an incredibly alluring and exquisite visage.Appearing to be only in her twenties,
Deep within the ancient castle, Hades' expression shifted and changed rapidly, his grip on the phone almost crushing it.'Withdraw from Wyverna, and reveal the bounty employer…'Two matters, both striking at the core. Once the assassin withdrew, the entire underground market of the Wyverna would be abandoned. Disclosing information about the employer completely violated the rules of the assassin world. Who would seek his services for bounties in the future?However, there was no choice but to comply. After all, this concerned the legendary and overwhelmingly powerful figure, the Lord of the Temple of War, who was undefeated in battle…If he gave the command, wiping out the Blood Assassins organization would be as easy as flipping a hand."Since it involves that man..." Hades took a deep breath, finally speaking slowly, "I can tell you the identity of the employer. She is Helen Eberherd, the wife of Neil Chesire, the head of the Chesire family in Ol' Mare."In addition, the Chameleon En
The advertising shoot for New Chesire Group was overseen by Alexander, and the publicity department promptly set off for Sunhaven to select a filming location.Early the next morning, Wanda arrived as scheduled."Sir Kane, Amber!"At the Ol' Mare International Airport, Wanda and Kelvin disembarked a
"What do you think you're doing?"As the situation took an unfavorable turn, Sheldon's heart pounded, but he did not dare to delay the filming task entrusted by Alexander. He bravely extended his arms, arguing logically, "Clearly, you seized the location, yet here you are, playing the victim! If thi
"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
