Chapter 555
Alex had no idea what was happening.People kept shouting a name at him—Bai Xiaochun.In the Xia language, he understood the words clearly. Bai meant white, pure, clean. Xiao meant small. Chun meant innocent, simple, genuine.Together, it meant “the small and innocently pure one.” Harmless. Gentle. Naive.So how in the world was that name being tied to the word rapist?“Bai Xiaochun!” one of the villagers screamed at him. “Admit what you’ve done!”Alex’s eyes snapped toward the two women staring at him with fury and disgust. A cold realization slid down his spine. If he handled this wrong, he wouldn’t live another minute.“All of you!” Alex shouted back. “Just because my father is dead, you start blaming me for everything? I’m telling you—I did not rape anyone!”“Bai Xiaochun!” one of the women shrieked. “How can you be this shameless? You raped me—and twenty-two others—and now you dare say you didn’t do it?!”Alex stepped forward, anger blazing through him. This time, he shouted beca

Alex stood inside a wooden house, the air thick with the smell of timber and dust.He had seen this kind of place many times before. Xia architecture. Old, stubborn, rooted in tradition.They refused to trade wood for steel, refused to raise glass towers into the sky like Prussia.They believed living close to nature strengthened their cultivation, that wood and earth fed the body with natural power.Alex slowly turned his head.There was a massive hole torn through the roof.Sunlight poured through it in a harsh beam, illuminating the wreckage beneath.The VÖXEN Lucifer lay half-destroyed in the middle of the room, its once flawless frame split open like a wounded animal.The vehicle was filled with nanobots. Given the right materials, they could rebuild it atom by atom, following the original blueprint stored in its core.With enough time and resources, the VÖXEN could return to perfect form.But that would take time.Time he wasn’t sure he had.With slow, painful movements, Alex ac

The front screen froze at 100%.“Father,” Sofina said quietly. “Doesn’t that mean Alex is pure-blood from the Earth Empire?”Wilhelm leaned back in his chair, the weight of centuries settling into his posture. “I checked the records left by our ancestors. There are only a few lines that speak of total pure blood.”“And what do they say?” Sofina asked.Wilhelm’s eyes hardened. “If he is not the Emperor of the Earth Empire, then he is at least a prince—a legitimate claimant to the throne.”“Someone with pure Royal blood like that—wherever he stands among the six nations—will inevitably become king. His authority is carried in his veins.”Sofina swallowed. Then she looked straight at him. “Father… tell me how you know Alex survived the light bomb.”Wilhelm raised his hand. Two holographic screens bloomed into existence.On the first screen, a blinding sphere of light expanded—Alex’s ship caught in the instant the light bomb detonated. The moment of supposed annihilation.Wilhelm moved hi

“So, Father—do you really plan to turn them into slaves?” Sofina asked. Her face made her opposition unmistakably clear.The king let out a slow sigh. “That was the original plan,” he said. “The one we agreed on last year—before everything changed.”“What changed?” Sofina pressed.The king waved his hand dismissively.The wall screen flickered to life.Footage from Bella’s laboratory filled the room—cold, sterile, and ominous. Inside, several people worked at their stations, moving with precision. Some of them laughed. Others talked casually.“Last year,” the King said, his voice rising with barely contained excitement, “they finally reached Prussia’s technological level. It was the perfect time to harvest them as slaves. And from that moment on—”His expression shifted into something close to ecstasy.“—they stepped beyond us. They abandoned Prussia’s old path and broke free from its chains.”Sofina stared at him, struggling to follow.“What do you mean?” she asked.“Prussia,” Wilhel
Chapter 551
The palace hall fell silent as Duke Christoph played the live feed.On the massive screen, Alex’s aircraft was swallowed by blinding white light. The light bomb detonated. The image shook violently, then dissolved into static and fire. Nothing remained. No wreckage. No escape.The King stared at the screen, his face draining of color. Sofina felt the blood leave her lips. Her fingers clenched without her noticing.Duke Christoph turned, already smiling.“Your Majesty,” he said smoothly, “the last heir of Saint-Claire is confirmed dead. The obstacle is gone. I request that you revoke Princess Sofina’s five-year promise. With that condition removed, she may be married at once—to a man of your choosing.”He did not hide his intent. Everyone in the hall knew whose son he meant.The King did not answer immediately. He turned to Sofina.“Sofina,” he asked quietly, “what do you think?”She lifted her head. Her eyes were steady, though her chest felt tight.“Father,” she said, “you are the Ki

On the throne, King Wilhelm Augustus sat rigid, his gaze fixed on the man before him.“Christoph,” he said coldly, “is it truly necessary to hunt down the last heir of Saint-Claire?”Duke Christoph von Dornwald inclined his head, just enough to show respect. “Your Majesty, we exterminated the entire Saint-Claire family during the last succession because they were the greatest threat to your crown. They supported your brother.”“If we allow this one survivor to grow unchecked, he will become a danger to us—to our sleep, to our peace. Eliminating him is necessary.”The king’s fingers tapped once against the armrest. “Then explain to me this,” he said. “How can he be so rich?”“It appears the rumors are true,” Christoph replied. “He studied cultivation in Xia. When he returned, he crushed the underworld leaders one by one, forced them under his command, and used that foundation to build Eden Group. During the last betting event alone, he amassed wealth that surpassed even Your Majesty’
