"Please, Mister Kane, don't get the wrong idea—we mean no harm!"Arthur urgently wheeled himself forward on his wheelchair and urgently clarified, "Wesley's fate was the result of his stubbornness. His death is on him."Nobody wanted to cross someone as formidable as Alexander, a semi-Empyrean of im
Rex was dead, and with that, the issue was resolved.Alexander had just finished the day's work at the branch office and was looking forward to his return to Ol' Mare. The afternoon sun was dipping low, and he was in high spirits.His hand was on the doorknob when a desperate shout stopped him."Mis
In Barrowbay, at Artherton Castle, the garden, once a haven for family leisure, had turned into their living hell.Arthur's entire family, from the oldest to the youngest, were bound and dumped in the backyard."Come on, Arthur, give up Rex's belongings. We don't want to make this hard on you," spok
In the quiet of the castle's back garden, with the others gone, Arthur spilled the beans to Alexander."As for the ancient jade amulet, I'm sure you're more clued in than I am, Mister Kane, so I'll spare you the details," Arthur began."It was the folks from Hawthorne Seafort who came knocking, susp
With a squeak, the car rolled to a stop. Alexander and Arthur were back at Golden Lion Villa, hoping to dig up some leads on that elusive jade amulet.Given Rex's deep pockets, it would be a shock if he had not stashed away secrets in hidden rooms.The villa's entrance was alive with excitement. Hea
At that announcement, their faces fell—they looked utterly defeated.They had been searching for over an hour, turning up all sorts of jade pieces, but the elusive jade amulet was still out of reach. Snagging a 150 million dollar bounty was never going to be a walk in the park."Mister Kane, we've g
In the solitude of the greenhouse, Alexander focused on opening every pore, drawing in the lifeblood's essence to temper his body. Each drop absorbed sent a sharp pang through him, but the pursuit of his physical peak demanded that he endure the pain.Alexander was overwhelmed by a wild surge of ene
Gage's face was a mask of regret when he hung up. "Mister Kane, Lucas was taken while I was away from my stepfather's castle."It was a clever distraction—sacrificing a few Lords of War to snatch a semi-Empyrean. Quite the trade-off."The attack was sudden, so you can't be blamed," said Alexander, 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
