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
There are maybe ten thousand people outside the building, rampaging, but Alex stands alone in the middle of the crowd.Taunting each of them with all kinds of animal name.Yet, all the people cannot do anything to him.He is there, but no one can touch him. No matter how they try to attack him, he keeps smiling, mocking everyone. He has truly become the indestructible king.James watches all of this from the screen. It is already the second day since they took over the building.They are doing something like a praying marathon for some purpose that he cannot understand.He doesn’t know how far he can believe what Tommy said, but Tommy is already dead. Did Tommy really say that he once conquered the world and that Alex is from the future?James looks at the contract leather surface, pondering.After Tommy's death, will this still function? Do all he needs is just put his blood?On the other side, people are tired of hitting Alex, and Alex is also tired of entertaining them.It’s really
James found himself in the empty prison again, the stench of blood thick in the air, pooling on the cold stone floor around the lifeless bodies of the prisoners he had killed.The thirst for power had taken hold of him, a relentless craving that consumed his thoughts and actions, much like an addict's insatiable need for a fix.Each act of killing brought a fleeting sense of euphoria, but it was always followed by a desire for demanding more and more.The prison, once a place of containment, had become a butcher please for James.As he stood amidst the carnage, James glanced at his blood-streaked hands and then at the phone that vibrated in his pocket.The name "Father" flashed on the screen."What's up, Dad?" he answered, his voice devoid of emotion, echoing through the desolate halls."I heard you used my authority again to kill the prisoners," his father's voice crackled through the receiver, a mix of anger and concern evident.The sound of it brought a twinge of regret, but James
Alex stands on the top of the Eiffel Tower, looking down as millions of Sariel Orbs conquer Europe below.The Orbs handle all the brutal killing the beasts, replacing humans in this grim task. They work tirelessly and efficiently, almost a billion strong, powered by ancient technology from Babel.The Sariel Orbs are unbeatable, their presence a cold and unyielding testament to Alex's dominance.The wind whistles through the iron lattice of the Eiffel Tower, carrying the scent of smoke and the distant cries of a continent in turmoil.Standing atop the tower, Alex is recorded by the Orbs, broadcasting his live video to all places in Europe.The Orbs project his message onto screens everywhere they are.The broadcast reaches every corner of the continent, from the ancient cities of Italy to the snowy reaches of Scandinavia.The people of Europe, huddled in their homes or hiding in the ruins of their once-great cities, watch with a mixture of dread and fascination."Greetings, everyone.
