Could that foul-mouthed woman really be Miss Chesire's aunt?The bodyguards shared a look, then faced Carmela again, unswayed. "Apologies, but family or not, rules are rules. Minister Kane's orders—no invite, no entry.""You'll regret this!"Carmela was livid, yanking out her phone to call Susanne.
Patrick had never been particularly fond of Carmela and Gavin, but Cirroc was a different story. The kid was young and not really tangled up in the family drama. Patrick figured he would cut him some slack.He gave Cirroc a once-over and mused, "So, Cirroc, what did you study while you were abroad?
With Coral came her parents, Amber's Uncle Kolten and Jazzy Patel.They were the salt of the earth, carrying bags of vegetables. After greeting Patrick and the rest, they offered a bashful smile and said, "Brother-in-law, we didn't bring anything fancy, just these veggies...""Here, let me help with
Alexander's gaze remained indifferent to Carmela's agitation.Gripping Susanne tightly, she refused to let go. "Susanne, speak up. Your family is so wealthy now, being the richest in Ol' Mare. I'm your sister, and we've had a sisterly bond for decades! I want you to arrange a job for Cirroc today. C
'Get out'?Gavin and Cirroc's expressions fell.Carmela paused, then turned wide-eyed as she exclaimed, "What did you say?! Say it again if you dare!"Alexander, don't think you can act all high and mighty just because you've got some skills. Let me tell you, you—""Shut up!"Susanne resolutely walk
"Damn that little girl, and damn Alexander!" The MPV roared along the outskirts of the highway, with Carmela sitting in the passenger seat, furious. "We were so close to succeeding. The old lady had spoken, but it was all because of that brat, Olivia. If she hadn't cried and made a scene, Susanne w
Carmela's family suffered a devastating disaster, but the Baltimore Mansion remained a haven of joy—especially for Patrick and Kolten. Their conscience cleared, and they drank with high spirits, becoming blissfully intoxicated.As the festivities reached their peak and the family banquet concluded,
About a thousand kilometers away from Ol' Mare, in the Florian Province, stood the city of Quinlan. In the top-floor conference room of Gabrick Fashion Group's office building, an unusually solemn small-scale meeting was taking place.Despite the vastness of the conference room, only five individual
"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
