Alex stares at the man and sighs."How immature," he mutters, sitting down and looking at Sophia, who is still talking with her friend, completely ignoring the man.He realizes that since Everheart broke free from the Wellingtons, many people have been trying to get into Everheart, hoping they could marry Sophia.Only a foolish man would believe that Sophia truly wants to marry her bodyguard, whom she just met a week ago. She is just using the bodyguard to break away from Wellington.The arrogant man is Hansen from the Carnegie family, once a very rich family that controls iron and all tanker ships.He can be considered one of the top five most powerful men in the academy. He really wants to marry Sophia, but with Wellington in the way, he doesn't dare make any moves.But now, looking at the bodyguard, it's impossible for him not to try to kick this poor guy out."When I am talking to you, you better listen to me, you maggot," Hansen says, his voice dripping with arrogance.For Alex,
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
The sword hits Alex's neck, but it shatters into two pieces.“Damn my Excalibur!” the man yelps, frustration evident in his voice.A woman, a gravity user, raises her hand, using her power to lift Alex's body into the air. Yet, Alex's feet remain firmly planted on the ground, rendering her efforts useless.Another man frantically draws his gun. As he fires, the bullet ricochets, striking his own leg. He collapses with a cry of pain, clutching his wounded limb.Alex grabs the large man and throws him effortlessly into a nearby tree. “Useless garbage,” he mutters, moving to stand by Sophia's side.“You really are powerful, Alex,” she praises, her eyes reflecting admiration.“No, I’m not. They’re just too weak,” he replies with a dismissive shrug.As they walk into the hall, Alex spots Professor Gill, the discipline leader. Anger flashes in his eyes as he strides forward.“Professor Gill!” Alex yells, his voice echoing through the hall. “You know in your heart I’m not making a mistake he
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, how can you do this?" Sophia asks, her voice trembling with disbelief.Alex smiles stupidly and points to the customer service number on the can of beast meat. "You see for yourself, it's clearly written on this can. If you have a problem, just call the number."Robert tries to understand what just happened, making his best assumption. "I heard all of Eden Country is integrated under Sariel. Maybe Alex is right; the customer service might be linked to all citizen needs.""Are you sure Eden Country will help us?" Sophia asks again, her eyes wide with worry.Suddenly, an orb flies through the window, startling everyone in the study room."Greetings, everyone. I am Sariel, from Eden Country. You can consider me a representative here to help you resolve your issue."The orb hovers in the air, capturing everyone's attention."Sariel, are you sure Eden will help us, the Everheart?" Sophia repeats, her voice tinged with desperation."Yes, we in Eden Country will help you. However, lik
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
“James,” Sophia calls as soon as she finds him. She fearlessly walks to James Wellington, her eyes fixed on him with determination.“What do you want here? You are uninvited,” James responds, his voice cold and unwelcoming.“Really?” Sophia laughs, the sound echoing in the grand hall. “Usually, you’re the one always sending me invitations. I thought you invited me for this occasion too.”“What do you want here, Sophia?” James repeats, his frustration evident.“Return my family money, James,” Sophia demands, her voice loud enough for everyone in the hall to hear.“We can talk about this privately in the room,” James replies, turning around, hoping Sophia will follow him.“I want to talk in front of everyone.” Sophia stands her ground. “Please, return Everheart’s money, don’t make it become Wellington’s money.”James's face turns ugly, his expression darkening. “Your father put the money for Wellington. We are only following your father’s will.”“I remember my father saying the Wellingt
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
