In Ol' Mare, the New Chesire Group building."Miss Chesire, who have we managed to anger to incur such substantial losses overnight?""As of now, our stocks have plummeted, wiping out over a hundred billion dollars in market value, causing significant losses to our shareholders.""I heard Alexander
"Business world, my friend. Every day is a new opportunity to step on someone's toes," Alexander quipped, his tone firm and unwavering. "And let's not forget the times when I outmaneuvered our competitors, expanding the group's profits. Why does no one bring that up?"He held his ground with a resol
"No worries, I've just got a little cough. I'll pick up some medicine later," said Alexander with a grin, his tone light and teasing."A cough?" Amber paused, feeling like they were talking past each other."Yep. You hogging the blankets every night has left me out in the cold," replied Alexander, h
"You really are scrapping at us when we're down, Yevhen," Amber called out, her voice shaking with anger.They had settled the divestment at the peak stock price of the day, even throwing in an extra 30 percent. They had been more than generous.However, Yevhen backstabbed them with that stunt. It w
"Check your phones, there's huge news!"The shout grabbed everyone's attention.The reporters' faces were a mix of shock and awe as they read, their looks toward Yevhen shifting dramatically.What in the world?Yevhen, baffled, pulled out his phone and started reading. One glance and he froze, his m
Once home, Alexander tied on an apron and got to work in the kitchen. Amber was not just watching. She was right there with him, chopping, stirring, and laughing as they prepared their meal together."They used to be all over me, practically tripping over themselves to do me favors. Now, when I'm in
Crash!The sound of destruction echoed through the opulent private room of the Diamond Summit Club.The source of the chaos was Yevhen, who was seething with frustration. His recent schemes had backfired, leaving him with nothing to show for it and as unpopular as a rat in the street."Boss, they're
"Daddy, come on! Aren't you supposed to drive me to school?" Olivia was at the door, her voice laced with urgency."I'm on it!" Alexander emerged half-dressed, answering as he went.It was still early in the morning, but Olivia was antsy, the thought of tardiness unbearable."Dad, are we going to ma
"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
