The Trump Card…Takuya could not afford to hesitate. Gritting his teeth, he bit down until blood spurted out, staining his brush crimson. With swift strokes on the yellow talisman, he conjured a blood-red effigy, an eerie blood specter.That bizarre power, drawn from the Holy Jade Amulet, surged thr
With a swift motion, as Alexander's request still hung in the air, Cirantaka yanked the alloy war saber from his waist and roared, "Mister Kane, here's your blade!"The blade was thus in Alexander's hand.It might not hold a candle to Alexander's own sword, but it was a worthy conduit for the storm
At the same time, in the Ayr family's grand castle villa in Phoenix City.Alice's face was clouded with frustration, her fingers tightening around her wine glass with each passing moment.She had always known crossing Alexander would spell disaster for the Quain family, and she had been eagerly wait
The clock struck six as Alice stood by the sleek, silver doors of the New Chesire Group's overseas division."Wasn't Miss Chesire joining us?" Alice questioned, her eyes narrowing in doubt as she leaned against her limited edition Randy Gini. Alexander, dressed down in casual wear, only raised an ey
"Whoa... I'm spinning!" Alice came slowly, her head spinning and her body aching all over.Aching?She bolted upright, taking in the opulence of the presidential suite. She whipped the covers off to admire her own flawless skin, a grin spreading across her face.She was naked? Did Alexander undress
That same morning, at the New Chesire Group's international division…Two grim-faced men arrived unannounced, casting a shadow over the room.They were Haiden and Arian.They had uncovered the truth: the merchants had been lured away from Vittorio Business League by New Chesire's machinations, setti
Nobody knew the terms Alice had laid out, nor why the Ingalls and Elliott families had abruptly pulled out of the Vittorio Business League and skipped town.The part New Chesire Group, Amber, and Alexander played in all that was the biggest mystery of all.Phoenix City had changed. New Chesire Group
A Cooper?Alexander raised an eyebrow as he stepped into the hall with Zane, then slowly turned, his eyes landing on Eric at the gym's doorway.That could not be just a chance.When the gym kicked off, Eric showed up, threw down the gauntlet, and dropped the full name of the 'Holy Jade Amulet', outi
"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
