Many participants—representatives from other countries—of the New Energy Forum had checked in at Oaklandia Royal Hotel.Inside their own room, Amber stared at Alexander curiously, warily."Alright, you've been staring at me for almost half an hour. If you have something to say, just say it," said Al
"Ah, I do have something that needs a professional to examine for me." Alexander thought of the notebook Ashton left behind, which he suspected was connected to Ashton's disappearance."This is great. Since we're at New Energy Forum with several top talents in the field, I'll contact them for you,"
Harvington Psychiatric Hospital was renowned as one of the premier facilities not just in Oaklandia but possibly worldwide. Moore Vivince, the designer Alexander was seeking, was reportedly there."I'm here to see Moore Vivince. Could you tell me his room number?" Alexander asked politely at the fro
"A pinhole camera," sighed Alexander. "Nox is incredibly cautious, even going so far as to monitor a mental patient."On second thought, he realized that Nox's surveillance of Moore indicated he suspected Moore was not truly insane and could be useful. It seemed like there was still a chance to get
"Pull over up ahead," Alexander called out, handing the taxi driver a large bill. The driver's face lit up with joy."You're one generous client, sir. Thank you!" he said, clearly pleased. With this much money, he could call it a day!The taxi stopped in front of the Oaklandia Royal Hotel, but a gua
At the table, Amber thought of something and asked, "Alexander, we have a dinner party today. Are you going?""A party?" Alexander replied softly. Remembering the clues tied to the event, he knew he had to visit the Oaklandia Building tonight. Regardless, he felt terrible if he were to decline as he
"Haha! I've been expecting you, Mister Kane!" greeted Nox cheerfully. It was the first meeting between the two, despite their irreconcilable conflicts. Both greeted each other with smiles. At a glance, they seemed like old acquaintances."It's an honor to be here, Duke Nox. I've wanted to visit for
Nox had invited representatives from countries participating in the forum the next day, as well as Oaklandia's nobility, to the party. The event was well-organized with everyone conversing civilly. There was no need for anyone to enforce the order. Apart from Nox, no one dared to stir up trouble.Th
"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
