"Wait…" Serwyn anticipated Alexander's next move and rushed forward to stop him. However, before he could intervene, Rex was knocked into his path, leaving Serwyn to struggle defensively.Ignoring everything else, Serwyn kicked Rex away with powerful force. To him, Rex was nothing more than a tool t
Alexander did not care to eavesdrop and was too indifferent to care about what Serwyn might say, knowing there was no way for him to escape. Inside the room, the atmosphere was tense, but Alexander remained unfazed, leisurely sipping his tea. He was confident that the matters would be resolved that
"What's wrong? Why the sad face?" Alexander asked with a smile as he approached.Looking around, he noticed no signs of conflict. "Hmph, I thought you weren't coming," Olivia pouted, clearly upset. It was almost time for the conference to start, and Alexander was nowhere in sight. She had been eag
"Congratulations, Mister Kane, your daughter clearly takes after you.""I've seen Olivia a few times, she's a clever girl.""Congratulations!"Praise filled the classroom, oblivious to the inappropriate timing. Those from powerful families had a keen sense of the situation and knew when to speak up
"Daddy, are we heading home?" Olivia asked excitedly as they walked out of the school gate. She was thrilled that her father had taken the time to attend her parent-teacher conference."Not just yet," Alexander replied with a smile. "Let's grab a big meal first, then we'll head home." He guided his
"The ruler won't mind," Alexander replied, his steps unfaltering, dismissing Johnson's words. Using the ruler to pressure him was laughable; their relationship was far from ordinary."Wait!" Stephan hurriedly stepped in, his voice loud and urgent. "Mister Kane, please, let my son go. He was just imp
At the Kane family mansion in the northern region, Caleb sat at his desk, clutching a teacup against his stomach, his teeth clenched in agony. The pain had long since drained the color from his face, and sweat dripped from his brow, yet he continued to work, refusing to relent."Caleb, let's go to t
"Father, I just…"Alexander hesitated, stumbling over his words as he tried to explain what had just happened. It was not easy to admit that he had struck his own father.Caleb, however, waved it off with a warm smile. "Don't worry about it, son. Consider it payback for all the times I had to discip
"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
