Taking matters into his own hands, the old butler managed to bring the legendary healer Ghost Hand Reed to the Jess family estate in under two hours.Reed was a miracle worker. Known throughout the north as Ghost Hand Reed, his real name was Wealhmaer Reed. He was famed for bringing people back from
The murder and burial of Gerald sent shockwaves through the North. Every major player, including the top-tier families, sent their condolences to the Jess estate, all except the Redwine family.The Redwine family, bolstered by the loyalty of lesser houses, had risen to the cusp of the elite, perfect
In the heart of the north, within the storied walls of the Jess family, the final hours of Gerald's day-long wake were drawing to a close. In the hushed funeral parlor, his casket lay open as the funeral director applied the last touches of makeup before the cremation and interment."Master."The bu
The electric bike eased to a stop on a country road, five miles from the Xanthos Industrial Park.Callie's expression turned to stone!She had it all, family, looks, nothing short of what Amber had. In fact, she even had the upper hand. She and Alexander were the envy of all, childhood sweethearts w
Amber and Callie turned ashen. They had braced themselves for the dangers of their high-stakes business world, including assassination and extortion. Death did not scare them like it did most.However, their beauty was their pride, and they valued their honor more than life itself. They would rather
The embrace shared by Alexander and Amber was brief."You are... Alexander!"Right then, about ten meters away, Quidel was propping up Vischer's limp body, his eyes locked on Alexander with a wild, spinning madness.It had to be him, no doubt about it!The blur of motion from just seconds before was
Erick could become the head of the Jess family. Of course, he was not a fool. Upon receiving the text message, he would certainly lead the elite of the Jess family to quickly retreat, leaving only the old, young, women, and children...After a brief moment of contemplation, Alexander shook his head slowly. People may decline and fall but still maintain the illusion of prosperity. The northern region was vast, with continuous mountains. As long as one hid in the deep mountains, it would be difficult to find them quickly. If they hid in caves or underground, it would be hard to locate them even with the use of the Temple of War's high-altitude satellites."Let them eke out a few more days!" Alexander no longer dwelled on it, crushing Mister Quidel's phone in his hand. Then, he leaped up, and within moments, he returned once again to Amber and Callie's side.The two women had calmed down considerably. Following Alexander's instructions, they kept their eyes tightly shut. Even when they h
About half an hour later, they arrived at the Xanthos family estate in the north."Dad!"In the living room of the villa, Tacker clenched his fists tightly and spoke in a deep voice to Ywain, "While Gerald's funeral was ongoing, the Jess family attempted to assassinate Callie. It was led by Quidel."
"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
