This was a show of dominance right from the start.The old man knew better, but he could not just leave. He had to endure. Having lived for many years, he had some wisdom."My name is Gideon Costa. The young ones were a bit reckless, and I apologize on their behalf." He humbled himself greatly.Alex
"Is that true?"The change was so sudden that Gideon felt uncertain and asked with doubt."Of course, I always keep my word. The money is here, and you can take as much as you want." Alexander pointed to the cash.The power of money was a strong temptation for most people. Alexander's method of alte
In the following days, several individuals from the fighters' community visited Ol' Mare. They were exactly the people Alexander had been seeking. Otherwise, it was an uneventful time.Early one morning, well before his usual wake-up time, Alexander's phone rang persistently. The call was from an un
Nerine felt somewhat better with Alexander's presence. She recounted the events succinctly."After returning to Ol' Mare, I contacted my teammates' families to come collect the ashes and planned to give each family two hundred thousand dollars in consolation. But while I was sleeping, someone kicked
The truth came to light, proving Nerine's innocence and resolving the matter. Nonetheless, the group who demanded justice remained, offering superficial thanks amid hidden agendas."Sir, we owe you our gratitude. Without your intervention, we would have remained in the dark," said one of them with a
The outside world was in turmoil, yet Alexander remained serene atop Peakview Mountain, hidden from public view and calmly sipping tea. He had strategically used the allure of dragon energy to draw others out.Tempted by the promise of great benefits, a substantial crowd gathered around the mountain
"Rattlesnake, where is your boss?" Alexander asked, scanning the area for Grand Hart Lord.When the downtrodden main line of the Costa family visited before, Alexander provided aid that led them to share images of Grand Hart Lord's six henchmen. Among them was Cobra, the weakest of the six snakes, w
"Are we done chatting?" The abrupt interruption echoed through the crowd, drawing all eyes to an average-looking, medium-sized stranger who exuded an air of authority.In response to his voice, several semi-Empyreans fell silent, sensing a palpable sense of urgency and importance in his words.Alexa
"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
