"I'll now demonstrate just how valuable this so-called mere stone really is," David declared confidently, challenging Alexander's skepticism."Molinner, get ready to crack this stone open right here and now," David commanded, marking a line on the surface of the rough stone with a marker pen. This p
As the auction unfolded, one treasure after another found its owner, bringing the event to a close."Next up is our final treasure, the hundred-year-old Pure Spirit Ganoderma, starting at one hundred million dollars," Rhett announced, igniting a wave of anticipation.Even David, previously deflated,
As night draped Medicine Mountain City in darkness, vibrant neon lights flickered, signaling the start of another bustling period for those who toiled around the clock.Inside a hotel room, David placed a solemn hand on Molliner's shoulder. "Molliner, I'm entrusting my life to you," he said earnestl
"Alexander, where's the medicine?" Doctor Abbott returned to the company from the hospital, and the first thing he did was to find Alexander and ask for the Pure Spirit Ganoderma."I didn't get it, but someone will send it to me soon," Alexander replied calmly, lounging on the sofa and checking the
"Mister Kane, this person isn't honest. He even broke off a corner," said Grasshopper, pointing at the Pure Spirit Ganoderma. With his keen insight, he had already observed this scene but refrained from pointing it out, fearing it might disrupt Alexander's plan."No matter. Since he's eager to meet
"That was a dramatic howl you got there, Temple Master Kane!" remarked Doctor Abbott, his seasoned ears discerning the level of pain from the sound.Alexander halted his cries, adopting a sullen expression. "It wasn't too painful. I suppose I almost nailed the imitation," he retorted."Let me assist
Rhett strode back to the old mansion, making a beeline for the underground chamber. A figure sat in meditation, rising as Rhett entered."Black Maple, our plan is halfway through. The Turtle Dove Poison failed to take Alexander's life, but it did cost him an arm." Rhett's voice held a tinge of trium
At the gates of the Iversen family's family home, a sleek black sedan came to a halt. Out stepped Alexander, bound for a banquet, with Grasshopper at his side, a sword sheath slung over his shoulder.Aware of the intricate snare laid out by their hosts, Alexander was not taking any chances and broug
"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
