Everyone in the hall watched as Alexander and Mandy walked away apprehensively. In their minds, Mandy was a goddess, a sacred presence not to be desecrated."Don't go with him! He'll do unspeakable things to you!""Alexander! How could you betray Amber?"They tried to catch up, attempting to stop Ma
Alexander took a deep breath and whispered to himself, "Huh. It's Global Trader again."Global Trader, a neutral organization, accepted any bounty missions from anyone with money. Basically, money was the only thing that mattered. Pay the fee, and one's problems would be dealt with quietly and effec
As they stood in front of their house, Alexander and Patrick paused at the door and spoke in low voices to each other."Alexander, look at the mess I've made. Can you talk to your mother for me?" pleaded Patrick."Leave it with me. I also want our family to live in harmony," Alexander reassured him.
Alexander's sharp perception made him first to notice that Patrick was not right. "Dad, what happened?""Argh!"Suddenly, Patrick let out a heart-wrenching scream as he clawed at the air in agony. Right in front of him was a boiling hot pot, dangerously close."Watch out!"Alexander warned his famil
Inside Patrick's ward, two tall women with veiled faces stood beside his bedside, their presence casting an ominous shadow. Susanne faced them with a mix of concern and wariness."Ma'am, let him take the medicine. He'll recover immediately! We can't delay any longer," urged the slightly younger woma
Charlotte and Jane exchanged surprised glances. They had not expected Alexander to agree to release Mandy at all.Seizing the opportunity, Charlotte quickly asked, "Mister Kane, please state your terms." She was prepared to accept them if they were reasonable.Resolving the situation without bloodsh
The spiky-haired man quickly realized after being beaten that the backup he called knew Alexander. Within seconds, he realized his savior was not on his side at all.The silver-haired man, sensing trouble, tactfully ran off to hide, failing to stand by his friend. The two ladies, terrified by the do
"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
