"For this exchange meeting, we from the Wallace family have gathered quite a few valuable items," the Wallace family head announced clearly, his gaze lingering on Alexander and Amber."All items are available for purchase with money, though we are also open to valuing and accepting items in trade. T
The crowd was bewildered, unsure of what was happening. As they prepared to defend themselves, an alarming turn of events occurred.Before the stone could even be examined, two figures—both formidable semi-Empyreans and elders of the Wallace family—attacked the Wallace family head with vicious inten
"Alexander, Arcanus Master is incredibly powerful. There's no need for you to make enemies," said the Second Elder, trying to negotiate a way out with his words."I'm not interested in that," Alexander replied coolly, flicking his sword and decisively striking out without wasting time on their empty
"Black Maple, are you here to lament my misfortune?" asked Arcanus Master coldly, still seated in his wheelchair. His tone was devoid of warmth, reflecting his disdain for Black Maple's reputation for abandoning his brothers in times of crisis."What are you talking about, Brother? I've come with go
"Don't be afraid. Mommy and Daddy are here," Amber reassured Olivia, her voice trembling with concern. Her lively and active daughter had transformed into a completely different person upon returning to Ol' Mare."Uh-huh," Olivia nodded, wanting to ease her parents' worries but still holding onto th
"Get out, it's going to blow!"Smoke swirled in a corner of the museum, sending people scrambling for the exits in a frenzy.The museum was a no-go for anything that could catch fire or explode."Teacher, they were just over there!"Olivia planted her feet, poised to sprint into the fray.The Grandm
"He's so fast! He's on us before we even made it out," gasped Black Maple Master, feeling the intense energy closing in from behind."You two, block him!" barked Arcanus Master, sensing the threat.They had never felt Alexander's strength up close like that."Understood!" The pair spun and dashed ba
"They'll take money for anything these days." Without a second thought, Alexander acted decisively, disabling a few of them and leaving them for the enforcement team to handle.The Temple of War might have eyes and ears everywhere, but even they could not pinpoint Global Trader's main office. Only t
"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
