"Stop right there! The hotel's been booked solid by Mister Truman for the evening, and he's only entertaining Amber tonight." A hulking doorman stepped forward to block the couple's path, his voice booming with authority.Only one could enter, as per the strict instructions."Please, he's my husband
Mason, catching his blunder, quickly sat back down, trying to look calm. "Ahaha! Sorry about that, I've been a bit under the weather lately!"His acting was laughable, way over the top.He was just a spoiled kid trying to act like he was a business whiz, and it was not working."Let's get to the poi
"What's your dad's deal with the Trio Alliance Club, anyway?" Alexander's mind raced with the question, eager for an answer.Mason did not buy the hesitation in the other's voice. "My dad, Stephen, is the head honcho at the Ol' Mare outpost for the Trio Alliance Island! Bet that scares you, huh?"He
The next morning, after dropping his daughter at school and wrapping up some business, Alexander headed to the company's warehouse.Meanwhile, Susanne had spent the entire night on the couch with Patrick steadfastly at her side.Susanne was stuck in her thoughts. Without any moment of clarity, she c
Amid this standoff, a figure cut through the tension—Eden.The head guard, recognizing the newcomer's strength, approached with a grin. "Sir, this guy..."However, he was cut off as Eden booted him aside, his voice icy. "Blocking a guest of the boss? Looking for an early grave?"Stephen had been wai
"Did you doze off or something? Why so quiet?" teased Alexander, breaking the silence that had fallen between them.Stephen sensed the urgency in the air, but he remained composed, responding with a forced chuckle. "You must be kidding, Mister Kane!"Considering you've agreed to let my son off the h
The showdown commenced.The crowd was electrified, their attention sharpened, buzzing with excitement.Whoosh, whoosh!They moved in unison, ignoring the flurry of cards, each charging at the other with breakneck speed.The card duel was a mere facade, the real test probing the extent of their skill
The message inside was brief, just a single line.[I've gone to Peakview Mountain, no need to worry.]The day before, Alexander had heard clear as day that a miracle was expected at Peakview Mountain today, drawing many to witness it.Alexander was ticked off. He dialed Stephen's number and let him
"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
