"Do you really think bargaining will make you worth millions?"
“That price doesn’t even scratch the surface of my value,” Alex replied with a wink.
“But seeing how eager you are, I decide not to make it too difficult for you. I’ll offer a 99.99999999999999999% discount, so it will be just one hundred thousand. How about it?”
Alex chuckled inwardly.

The wormhole tasted like lightning and old copper.Alex felt it before he understood it — that electric wrongness on his tongue, the metallic pull at the back of his throat, as the old man carried him through the tear in space.Ragnar was there too, limp and silent, the old man bearing both of them through the fold in reality as though he'd done it a thousand times.Alex had no idea where they were taking him. He knew only one thing with terrible certainty: he would not survive the journey's end.Whatever mercy had kept him breathing until now would end the moment they stepped through the other side.Move.His nascent soul power surged from that buried place, and Alex threw every fragment of it against his own chains.His muscles screamed.His vision strobed white.And then — the

"It's fabricated." Ragnar's composure had finally begun to fray at the seams, his certainty fraying with it. "It's a projection. A trick. You're being manipulated — all of you — this is a fraud!"Around him, people exchanged uncertain glances, the seed of doubt quietly taking root among the crowd."Fraud?" The word left Alex's lips with a sharp laugh — humorless, deliberate. "Then let's go live."A soft mechanical hum moved through the hall.Eve drifted forward — unhurried, silver, small — as though the chaos filling the hall were nothing more than weather passing through. Its casing opened gently, and from its optical array two live feeds bloomed into the air: soft but clear, laying both armies bare for every soul in the room to witness."Sofina." Alex's voice was quiet and precise. "You can address those armies directly. From here. They will see your face — and every word you speak, they will hear."Sofina straightened."People of House Dornwald. People of House Eisenwall." Her voic

One month ago, Alex stood before Zhuge Liang.“I’ve secured our connection with Estoria. The rest is yours to manage. Let’s make sure both countries grow together.”Zhuge Liang bowed, robes whispering against the polished floor. “Your Majesty. Your command will be done.”“Good. I’m entering the training realm to raise my cultivation. Keep everything running smoothly in my absence.”“Yes, Your Majesty.” Another precise bow.Alex turned and walked away. The words were a lie. He had never intended to set foot in the Wudang dimensional realm.Mid-flight, he summoned the Voxen Lucifer. The craft dropped out of stealth beside him, its matte-black hull drinking the light, engines already spooling with a low, predatory hum.“Been a while, buddy,” Alex muttered. “Let’s move.”The hatch unsealed with a pressurized hiss. He vaulted inside. The seat molded around him as the canopy sealed.“Prussia. Full burn. Now.”The Voxen Lucifer punched forward. The world outside blurred into streaks of cloud
Chapter 680
The Prussian succession had been a slaughter dressed as politics for five years.Twenty princes and one princess fought for the throne, and the only rule that mattered was brutally clear: win the support of five out of eight dukes, and the crown belonged to the winner.Brothers who had once trained together now hired knives in the dark. Factions formed at dawn and shattered by dusk.One prince would swear eternal loyalty to another over wine, then send poison before morning.The royal palace in Königsberg had become a graveyard of ambition.The first prince and the second prince had each secured two powerful dukes early. Their alliances were the standard everyone measured themselves against.Then, Sofina changed the game completely, backed by the influential dukes who had chosen to support her.The first duke to pledge his support was Duke Winter. He stood by Sofina, alongside his daughter Renata Winter—her best friend since childhood and the one who had carried her darkest secrets for
Chapter 679
The great hall of the imperial pavilion held its breath.Alex sat on the emperor’s throne, the weight of the dragon robes pressing against his shoulders like a living thing. Eighteen governors lined the chamber in ordered rows. Zhuge Liang stood at his right hand, motionless, eyes fixed on nothing and everything at once.A month had passed since the crown had settled on Alex’s head. The northern armies were broken, the provinces quiet, the old Murim Alliance reduced to ash and memory. Yet the silence in the room felt brittle, as if the peace they had bought with blood might crack at the first wrong word.Alex leaned forward a fraction. The movement was small, but every governor straightened.“I have an announcement.”Eighteen voices answered in near unison, low and careful. “We are listening, Your Majesty.”He let the pause stretch one heartbeat longer than comfort allowed. “For longer than any of us can remember, Xia has kept its doors closed to the world. That policy ends today. We
