"Of course, sweetheart, you're always on my mind," Alexander replied, his affection for Olivia evident as he gently ruffled her dark hair.Olivia seized the moment to make her request, raising her hand eagerly. "Then, you have a gift for me too, right?" she inquired, her eyes shining with anticipati
"Yes." Amber began to explain, "Though Brody was injured and hospitalized a while ago, he found a blessing in his misfortune. He fell in love with the nurse who took care of him, Selena, and they were about to get married."However, Beck, who was Selena's junior high school classmate, returned from
At the Grand Dynasty Hotel's entrance, a pink Porsche pulled up, and Alexander and his companions stepped out."Miss Chesire, leave the car with me. I'll park it properly," the doorman offered, recognizing the notable guests."Thank you," Amber responded graciously, slipping him a tip before they ma
"Damn it, that bastard stole my stuff. If I see him again, I'll kill him!" Beck's voice seethed with resentment as he entered the room."Mister Webb, please take a seat!" Selena's parents stood up immediately, bowing politely.Alexander observed the scene with a touch of disdain. Brody had greeted t
"If you want to spar, say it." Alexander made his intentions clear, amused by the situation. Someone who had not even reached the level of a Grandmaster challenging Brody was a recipe for disaster."No!" Selena held Brody back, preventing him from responding.To Beck, Selena's action was out of conc
Brody and Selena acted swiftly. The next day, they held a small wedding banquet, opting to postpone any decisions about a grander celebration for later. Both sets of parents agreed.Instead of looking sullen, Selena's parents were smiling. Alexander had promised each of them a job at New Chesire Gro

"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
