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
Not far from the Northern Kane Building, a street-side hot pot restaurant buzzed with activity. Alexander, Amber, and Shaunica sat together at a table, enjoying their meal and chatting happily, smilingly.Alexander offered to treat Shaunica to dinner, so they took the opportunity to do so while Alex
"Get lost!" The agitated Howard pushed Shaunica aside and summoned his gang. A calculating gleam appeared in his eyes as he plotted to extort a hefty sum from the wealthy Young Master Kane, enough to sustain him for a long while.Initially mistaking Alexander for a member of the Lofter family, Howar
Alexander arranged for Howard's departure and bid farewell to Shaunica before he and Amber returned to the Kane family estate. Although he said he was only delivering a document, by the time he got home, it was nearly afternoon."Father, are you feeling better?" asked Alexander worriedly, staring at
"Callum! What are you doing?" Caleb's face turned red with anger as he confronted his former subordinate.When Callum decided to resign, Caleb had thought of preparing a five-million-dollar bonus as a gift to present to him at a farewell banquet. Despite any conflicts Callum might have had with Alex
The situation made it seem like the Kane family was crumbling.In the hearts of those present, the thought that the Kane family was finished could not be suppressed. With no business partners left and a massive compensation sum to pay, even the family's accumulated wealth could not withstand such a
"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
