"You're asking for it!" Alvaro's eyes glinted with malice as he hurled his energy-charged fist forward with deadly intent.His target was the face, and a direct hit would have made Patrick's head explode like a water balloon.Alexander could not let that happen. With urgency fueling his movements, h
The next few days went by without a hitch. Susanne stayed put, holing up at home, fasting, and mumbling prayers that no one else could figure out.Patrick was not thrilled with his wife's new routine but figured her staying in was a step in the right direction.Truth be told, it was Alvaro's vanishi
Alexander, done with the paperwork, looked straight at Rayford and cut to the chase."You keep mentioning this Master Moony guy but never spill the beans. Are you holding out on me?"Rayford let out a long sigh, clearly in a bind."Look, if you don't level with me, I can't help," Alexander pushed.R
"Got it, got it. I'm on it!"Rayford wrapped up the call with a string of nods and hung up. The clock was ticking, and they kept it short and sweet, under a minute."Mister Kane, the head family has given the thumbs up to all your terms, and these ten percent shares are yours to keep," Rayford said,
The Top-Wine Restaurant, renowned as the most upscale establishment in Metalville, was accessible only to its members. It was here that Alexander's welcome banquet was held.As the convoy rolled in, everyone disembarked. All eyes were on Xyla, whose radiance outshone the rest. Known as the 'Flower o
"You... You!" stammered Martinez, shocked at how quickly Alexander appeared before him.Over ten bodyguards sprang into action, rushing forward to protect their master. "Give it your all, don't hold back!"If Martinez got into trouble, they would have a hard time surviving too!Seeing the group of m
"Could he really stand against the entire Steeler Group?" Xyla muttered as she watched Alexander's departing figure."Haha! Don't worry. Steeler Group is nothing. Mister Kane hasn't even bothered to consider them." Rayford chuckled arrogantly as he also walked out of the private room.What a mysteri
"What a useless bunch. You people can't even protect your master even with so many of you here! What good are you lot for?" A man erupted in anger outside the hospital operating room, hurling insults at the individuals before him. This man was Steeler Group's helmsman, Titus, exuding a heroic aura.
"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
