Chapter 445
The flying iron door crashed back and crushed two thugs who’d been waiting with rifles, their bodies folding like paper under cold iron.An alarm split the night. “Enemy attack!” someone screamed. The room filled with men reaching for laser pistols, faces hard with surprise and fury.It was what war looked like in alleys—fast, ugly, inevitable. But Alex was faster.He moved like a blade: precise, brutal. Men went down with snapped bones and gasps.Weapons clattered and sparked across the wet stones. He didn’t hesitate.He broke wrists, snapped arms, tore men off their feet. The fight was a series of short, sharp sentences—strike, fall, breathe.From the back of the room Jack Chambers appeared, a bull of a man with a grin that smelled of oil and money.Beside him stood a hulking iron robot, bristling with guns and menace.“You think you walk in here and take my turf?” Jack growled. “You bastard—do you want to die? Meet my guard: the latest model. It can crush a hundred men without brea
Chapter 444
Three years earlier, Alex was on his knees in the cold marble hall of the Rosenheim mansion, pressed down by a trio of chrome robots and a pale-faced servant.The light from the chandelier carved hard lines across his face. The machines made no sound but their grips were insistently mechanical.“Who are you, thief?” Otto Rosenheim barked, stepping forward. “Why are you trespassing on this property?”Alex kept his chin up. “I’m Alexander Saint-Claire,” he said. “Son of Logan Saint-Claire. I believe this property belongs to my family.”Otto let out a short, incredulous laugh. “You say you’re the child of Logan Saint-Claire?”“Yes.” Alex’s voice didn’t waver. “The blood test proved it. The Prussian Government hospital ran it.”With deliberate calm, Alex tapped the three-dimensional bracelet on his wrist and the document bloomed in a pale hologram. He pushed it toward Otto.Otto’s eyes flicked over the projection as if it were a curious insect.“So you claim the Marquis Saint-Claire’s est
Chapter 443
Around two decades ago, Baroness Wolfsbane was overjoyed when her daughter was chosen for the Prussian Government’s Seeding Project.It was a national program—part science, part eugenics—designed to engineer the next generation of leaders.The state selected women of noble blood, perfect beauty, exceptional intellect, and, above all, untouched purity. Only the finest could be accepted.The men? They came from the highest ranks—the King, the Generals, the Dukes. Sometimes Counts or Marquises, but never below.Their seed was considered sacred, a genetic investment in the Empire’s future.When Felicia Wolfsbane was accepted and later became pregnant, the Baroness could barely contain her pride.The law forbade anyone from revealing the donor’s name, not even the mother or child were allowed to speak it aloud before the state permitted it—but everyone in the Wolfsbane household whispered the same rumor:‘Sofina’s father had to be of Count blood, at least.’That meant Sofina was born for g

The King looked at Sofina and exhaled heavily. “You know this already, Fina. I’ve tried to give you three years. But even if I agree, your mother won’t.”“Father,” Sofina said softly. “If you agree, nothing else matters.”Before the King could answer, another voice cut through the line—sharp, commanding.“I don’t agree!” Felicia said. Her mother had joined the call. “Sofina, you will marry the man I choose.”“Mother,” Sofina shot back, her tone trembling but fierce.“I am no bird; and no net ensnares me: I am a free human being with an independent will.”“You’re my daughter,” Felicia snapped, her tone sharp with authority. “You will do as I say.”Sofina met her gaze. “Father already agreed. I’m marrying Alex—and if he doesn’t divorce me within a year, he’ll become my permanent husband.”Felicia turned toward the King and knelt, her posture dripping with false respect. “My Lord, have you already accepted Sofina’s request?”Sofina quickly stepped in. “Father, please. This is for your da

“Eve, I literally just gave you to Miss Sofina, and you’re already turning against me?” Alex sighed, exasperated but half amused.Eve’s holographic eyes glowed with firm conviction.“Not betrayal, Master Alex. My loyalty and my life now belong to Miss Sofina. My duty is to protect her from any danger—including you.”Sofina burst into laughter, hugging the floating robot tight. “I really love this one,” she said between laughs.Alex smiled faintly and turned toward the door. “I’m glad you do. You’ve had a long day—get some rest.”“Well, Alex,” Sofina said suddenly, her eyes glinting with mischief. “I’m already your wife, so I’m surrendering everything to you. You can do whatever you want with me.”Alex froze mid-step, eyes widening in disbelief.Before he could respond, Eve darted between them, hovering protectively with both metallic arms spread wide.“No, Miss Sofina! You can’t give a man that kind of freedom,” she warned, her voice sharp and urgent.“Master Alex may look kind, but h

Sofina took a deep breath, thinking it through before finally sighing. “Fine. I’ll call my father in ten minutes.”She ended the transmission and stepped out of the bathroom.Alex was waiting in the living room. “I’ll show you to your room,” he said as he stood.They walked down the hallway until they reached a wide, elegant room bathed in warm light. As they stepped inside, a small robot glided toward them—egg-shaped, about eighty centimeters tall and forty-five wide.Its metallic shell shimmered under the soft glow, reflecting their faces like ripples on polished steel.“Good evening, Miss Sofina. I am Eve, your maid robot.” The holographic eyes blinked, and it extended a hand in a graceful gesture. “I’m here to assist you with anything you need. Please don’t hesitate to call me.”Sofina stared, intrigued. “This model… I’ve never seen it before.”In Prussia, maid robots were common—cold, efficient, emotionless. But this one was different. Sleek. Alive. It felt... almost warm.“I bui
