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
"You're the board chairman?" Faris was in disbelief. Alexander was the chairman of that prestigious school!There was no more room for talk; it was like showing off in front of a master swordsman."Is buying a school supposed to be difficult?" said Alexander as if it was the easiest thing in the wor
"Mister Kane, you've got it all wrong. We're here to spread some cheer," Brandon backpedaled quickly, trying to smooth things over.Alexander scoffed, his fingers dancing over the contract spread out on the table. "New Chesire Group is in the red, and you think fifteen million gonna save you? That's
Life settled into a pleasant rhythm for Alexander. His days were filled with simple joys: dropping his daughter off at school and strolling through the shops with his wife. It was a good life, indeed.Meanwhile, the stock of New Chesire Group was on a nosedive, teetering on the brink of collapse. Ho
The Quantz family?The Wyverna Quantz family was a name known far and wide, a force few in the martial world dare to cross."We're in a rush here, so if you'd be so kind as to step aside," Cimarron requested, barely keeping the irritation at bay.They would typically show the Quantz family the prope
Seconds and minutes ticked away. What was only half an hour felt like an eternity to some."Alexander, time's up. Where are your guests?"Xever's voice cut through the silence of the room, snapping everyone to attention. The anticipation was palpable, like the moment before a lottery winner was anno
It was Davis Lindsey!"Who would've thought Mister Lindsey would join the lenders? This just got a whole lot more interesting."He was a diminutive elder, the big boss of the unlisted Darrow Investment Company. His wealth was a mystery.The business moguls in the know understood that he was the voic
"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
