A mere 1.5 seconds was probably too short of a time for an ordinary human to react, but it was more than enough for Alexander."A high-explosive grenade? Very well." Alexander mused coolly as he watched the lethal weapon fly toward him. Alexander calmly grabbed the grenade from the air. With a fluid
From the moment Alexander single-handedly invaded the Ayr family's ancestral fortress castle, Alice never showed herself.However, at that instance, Alice knew that she could no longer hide. She quickly left the bedroom and went straight to the living room. On her way, no one from the Ayr family dar
Alexander's threat echoed through the living room of the castle."Alexander, you..." Vandalf burst into rage and was about to snap. His right hand was raised, but he shook his head helplessly.He had no choice but to give in to fate. Who in the Ayr family could possibly be Alexander's match? If he w
Late that night, the elders of the Ayr family held a meeting. The atmosphere was serious."You all knew, right?"In the meeting room of the ancestral castle, Alice sat regally on the main seat and looked at the elders. "I've promised to take out fifty percent of the shares from our business in Phoen
Behind the general manager's desk, Alexander lifted his fingers and tapped lightly on the desk. He wondered why Vandalf and Alice had not sent someone to intercept Virle."You knew?"Alice laughed and pursed her red lips again. "Not only do I know he's gone, but I know where he's going exactly."I h
Time passed quickly.Without realizing it, Alexander had been in Phoenix City for a week, and the Ayr family was at peace.The only change was that Vandalf and Alice had amplified their guard, and Loran was being monitored even more closely.On the morning of the eighth day, after some thought, Alex
Alexander's eyes narrowed slightly as he thought about the enigmatic Cooper family living elusively. All the clues he had gathered so far pointed to Black Maple Master's close relationship with the Cooper family. In fact, Black Maple Master might be a descendant of the Cooper family."That's okay."
The family head had the power to command the entire clan.Nonetheless, competing for the family head position required true strength, not gathering support by forming parties. Otherwise, they were no different from ordinary families in the outside world."Sir, I don't understand what you mean." Eric
"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
