Isabel and her group of 30 Xander mercenaries found themselves engaged in a fierce battle with another mercenary faction. Before reaching this confrontation, they had journeyed to Rode Island.Rode Island was place that housed several mercenaries and even criminals who escaped from their countries. Here there was no law, it was more of survival of the fittest.Within Rode Island, mercenaries were categorized into three groups: the low ranking mercenaries, the mid tier mercenaries, and the peak tier mercenaries. This classification also determined their geographical distribution, with the apex mercenaries residing in the wealthiest upper region, while the other parts were divided between the middle tier and lower tier mercenary forces.The peak tier mercenaries were the most formidable powerhouses in Rode Island. In fact, there were only two such groups in the entire Rode Island namely, the Tiger Mercenaries and The Skeleton.These two apex mercenary factions held dominion over Rode Is

Alexander's sudden trembling sent shockwaves through the atmosphere, causing even his aura to ripple with unsettling intensity. This disturbance was so palpable that Sarah, seated nearby, couldn't help but sense that something was amiss. But it wasn't just Sarah; even David, who occupied a table some distance away, couldn't ignore the seriousness of Alexander's aura fluctuations.Concerned for his friend, David instinctively began to make his way towards Alexander's table, ready to lend a helping hand in case of trouble. However, as he drew closer, Alexander managed to regain his composure, and his trembling ceased."I'm okay, David," Alexander reassured his friend with a faint smile, sensing David's worry. "Don't worry too much."Relieved but still cautious, David paused in his approach, casting a vigilant glance around the restaurant to ensure that no external threat or disturbance lingered. Once he was satisfied that all was well, he nodded at Alexander and returned to his own tabl

Upon arriving in Springs, Alexander immediately sensed a distinct change in the atmosphere. Aside from Fairview, Midridge, and the Xander Mercenaries base, he had rarely ventured beyond these familiar places."Such a stunning location," Alexander remarked in awe.David cast a disparaging glance at him and retorted, "You call this beautiful? It's evident you haven't explored much." As he completed his sentence, he hailed a passing taxi."Today seems particularly lively. What's happening?" David asked the taxi driver as they got into the taxi.With an excited expression, the driver replied, "Today marks the anniversary of the Floral Martial Arts Academy. The top three students will earn the privilege to train in the Floral Mountains. And new students would be enrolled today. Moreover, the academy is distributing free pills that can aid in martial training or healing illnesses to fortunate attendees. My son is among those who applied for enrollment."The driver then asked, somewhat puzzl

"You! How dare you humiliate my student," bellowed Master Andrew, his fury evident as he rose from his seat.Master Eliza though didn't know Alexander, Alexander had defended his school's honour so hs definitely wouldn't let Alexander get hurt. He stood up and looked at Master Andrew, if Master Andrew made a move, he would intercept him and strike as well.Alexander, however, remained unperturbed by Master Andrew's outburst, maintaining his composure as he calmly declared, "Two seconds left."The young man whose neck was tightly clasped by Alexander was almost out of breath so he made a sign of surrender.The moment Alexander let him go, he confessed, "I admit, I'm at the lower level of the Warrior Realm. My master made me hide my strength and pretend to be in the Disciple realm so we can win."The entire crowd fell into stunned silence, their collective gasps echoing through the room."What nonsense are you sprouting boy?" Master Andrew said while trying to silence the young man as h

After ascending through the ranks of various martial arts realms, Alexander's relentless pursuit of strength culminated in a chilling act of vengeance. He strode with grim determination into the Greece family's stronghold, a symbol of his long-held resentment, and executed Dustin along with every member loyal to him. His father, for abandoning his mother, received no clemency, no chance to explain but was killed by him directly.Seated upon a throne-like chair in the aftermath, Alexander surveyed the fruits of his ruthless labor. He had attained all he ever desired, yet the cost weighed heavily upon him – his heart had grown cold, rendering family and friendships mere hollow echoes of the past.As he settled into the seat, an unexpected tear broke free from his eyes, tracing a lonely path down his cheek before inadvertently entering his mouth. In that split second, a peculiar transformation occurred. He found himself abruptly transported to an mysterious, dark room. Despite the room
