On the night, Sophia is sitting on the balcony, the cool breeze gently rustling her hair. Alex stands beside her, his presence comforting yet distant."Alex, I never knew you were so smart. Where did you learn that?" she asks, her voice curious."When I was small, in the orphanage, the team leader was always the strongest. Whoever didn't listen to him would get beaten until they did. So, I learned from him," Alex replies, his eyes reflecting the distant memories.Sophia laughs for a moment, the sound light and airy, but then her face becomes serious. "Alex, do you understand that you are working as a bodyguard for me?""Yes, Sophia.""What will happen when I fire you from being my bodyguard?"Alex looks up at the stars, a hint of sadness in his eyes. "I will sign the divorce papers.""Do you understand that?" Sophia asked, a bit shocked. She always thought that Alex was an idiot; it would be hard to convince him later."Yes," Alex answered, his voice steady. "As a bodyguard, sometimes

A few days later, when Alex enters the men's restroom to relieve himself, a woman suddenly follows him in.“Hello, Alex?”“Miss, I think you entered the wrong restroom.”“No, I haven’t,” she responds, walking towards Alex and suddenly hugging him, trying to kiss him.“What are you trying to do?” Alex exclaims.The woman smiles while starting to remove her clothes, saying, “This…”She then runs out of the restroom, screaming, “Help me, help me, Alex is trying to rape me!”About four men suddenly rush in, pointing their fingers at Alex. “You, what the fuck are you doing! Raping a girl in broad daylight!”The woman hides behind them, her voice trembling. “Guys, please help me. He tried to rape me.”Alex feels a sinking realization that he is being falsely accused, with no way to defend himself. He knows rejection is useless now.He is brought to the disciplinary hall.“Alex, you tried to rape this girl, Henrietta. We will let the police handle this, but your acceptance to the academy is

Henrietta runs away after hearing Alex shout, her heart pounding in her chest.Fear grips her tightly. “It’s just a coincidence,” she tries to convince herself.But after hours of feeling terrified, her body trembles uncontrollably, and she bites her finger unconsciously until it bleeds.Suddenly, like a bolt of lightning, she screams and rushes to find Alex. She can't keep the million dollars if it means she will die.In the class, where the professor is still teaching and Alex stands near Sophia, Henrietta bursts through the door, shocking everyone.She hurries to Alex and grabs his hand. “I am sorry, I am really sorry. I didn't want to do it, but Jackson paid me a million dollars to accuse you of raping me. You did no mistake!”Everyone hears her confession and turns to Jackson.“Henrietta, what the hell are you saying? Don’t accuse me without a reason!” Jackson shouts, trying to defend himself.“I have the proof! You sent me a million dollars to falsely accuse Alex and I still hav

Alex sits in his dimly lit room, talking with Sariel."Sariel, what plan do you think is the best to conquer the US without killing many innocent people?" he asks, his brow furrowed in frustration.He knew that even in the past, when beasts were killing humans, the number of humans killing other humans was still much higher."I have given you about twenty best plans, and you have analyzed each of them," Ariel responds calmly."Yeah," Alex sighs. "How can you reach the conclusion that not killing Wellington is the best option?" Alex protests, pacing back and forth."Don't you think by killing the Wellington family, we will control the US quicker?""Sir, right now, all US power is under Wellington's hand. If we can subdue Wellington, then we can conquer the whole US. But if we kill Wellington, about a thousand new leaders may just appear, and we would have to deal with each of them. It will cause more victims.""So, winning over the Wellington family in the open is the right choice to t

Three hours ago, Alex was still at the academy with Sophia.He was stealthily sending Sariel orbs to the Wellington banquet, recording everyone on the Wellington side. This information would be useful in the upcoming conflict between Eden and Wellington.To his shock, he found Tommy wearing a white robe like a holy person and entering the banquet.It was purely a coincidence.“Master,” Sariel added, “There is a 90% possibility he is Tommy, who sacrificed his own mother and possesses Livia the Demon. He is like the late king of Babel.”“I totally agree,” Alex nodded. “We need a strategy to fight the demon. On the other hand, we cannot enter the banquet. It is invitation only.”He looked at Sophia, who was still in the classroom. “Sophia, do you have an invitation to Wellington’s banquet?”Sophia returned his gaze with confusion. “Do you need an invitation to the party?”Alex suddenly realized, with Sophia’s status and beauty, no one would dare refuse her. She really didn’t need an invi
