"Come out if you're here!"Jameson fixed his look and faked a smile as he talked to the door.Black shadows moved, and a black-robed person showed up—it was Black Maple Master."Why did you attack Alexander recklessly last night?" demanded Black Maple Master gruffly.Having just learned that the Lof
Two prominent figures from the northern region knelt there, drawing the attention of curious onlookers who whispered among themselves."What kind of spectacle is this? With their wealth, why would they need to curry favor with the Kane family?""Exactly. The Kane family is almost bankrupt. Why go to
"Miss Chesire, I apologize for my oversight. I didn't recognize you! I'm truly sorry," Josephine muttered, her voice tinged with regret.Josephine slapped herself, and the impact left her once-pale skin flushed and swollen. She endured the pain, hoping it would somehow appease Alexander's simmering
Alexander exerted a bit of his strength, shocking Callum. In a deep voice, he said, "Considering your years of service to the Kane family, I'll let it slide this time. But don't let it happen again. Stay there, and think about what I said."Not entirely cold-hearted, Alexander recognized Callum as a
"You want to use Mister Kane's computer?" Shaunica exclaimed, her tone shifting dramatically. As soon as the words left her mouth, everyone in the office turned their wary gazes toward Alexander and Amber.The recent incident with Secretary Wendy stealing business secrets from Caleb's computer had m
As Amber wrapped up her work, the group of busy secretaries paused to glance at her, their surprise evident once again. They were well aware of Amber's efficiency—usually a task Caleb would spend over three hours on himself."Hard work deserves recognition. Just name your reward, and I'll do my best
"If any of you feel it's time to move on to another job, I won't stand in your way. I wish you all the best in your future endeavors," Alexander calmly stated, leaving the employees to choose freely.The room fell into a hushed silence as Alexander's unexpected words reverberated. It felt like he wa
"And that's human nature," Alexander remarked with contempt as he scanned the crowd, his lip curling slightly. "I've traveled far and wide. I have seen plenty of shameless individuals, but you people take the cake."He added, dismissing those who had shown their true colors, "You made your choice, n
"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
