"Miss Duncan, what happened to you?"During the phone call, Hazel did not activate the speakerphone mode. Lucian observed Hazel's pale face and cautiously approached, inquiring, "Is it because of the New Chesire Group? Say something, and I'll find a solution. I'll make sure to punish Alexander and
The data would be…delivered?Roslyn and Blaine glanced at each other, both seeing the surprise in each other's eyes.Ever since the restructuring of the Zabaleta landscape, the Saunders family rightfully became the top powerhouse in Zabaleta. However, compared to the forces in the north, they were s
"Yes, or no?"Lucian was covered in cold sweat, too afraid to answer.He cautiously lifted his head, glanced at Alexander's calm face, and tentatively asked, "Mister Kane, don't you need information related to the Xanthos family and the consumers in the North? I don't understand why you want those f
At this very moment, in the Duncan Institute of Research…Hazel stood at the entrance, holding a brand-new black USB flash drive.She looked at Lucian, whose face was pale, and deeply exhaled a long breath.She felt utterly helpless.In just one hour, Flynn repeatedly called her a dozen times—urging
In the northern region, the Xanthos family, the Callie Group…Callie had been absent from the company for a long time. The once Chairman's office, tightly sealed, had not seen any visitors for ages.The current head honcho was a man named Walter Shennagan. He was a Ph. D. returnee with an exceptiona
The cities of Rabaldiston, Emberton, Deephaven, Blossomtown, and Veridian, situated between Ol' Mare and northern regions, were historically vital strategic points, contested by military forces throughout the ages.In the modern era, these five cities remained crucial transportation hubs. Goods had
"Mister Kane." The phone connected as Afred sat in his Mercedes, his face and voice filled with an indescribable shame. "Just now..."He recounted the events that had just transpired, his face full of self-blame. "I failed in handling the matter, Mister Kane. I ask for your punishment."At this mome
Paul's head had taken a beating, more than once. Just with that last strike, his skull cracked open under the force, and he saw stars dancing before his eyes. It felt as if Alexander was on a mission to shatter every bone in his head."I'll sign! I'll sign right away!" He desperately clung to the ta
"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
