In the eerily stifling silence inside the general manager's office, people still couldn't believe what they had just heard.

"Howard," Luster’s face a mask of disbelief, "I have worked for 31 years in this company. You cannot just fire me like this."

"Did you try to poison Miss Sophia or not?" Howard asked.

"No, I am not!" Luster yelled back, his eyes blazing with anger. "Everyone here knows I didn't harm Sophia. It was Alex who did it."

"Right?" Luster turned to the workers, trying to intimidate them with his lingering power. "Lucas, Jack! Tell Mr. Howard that Alex was the culprit!"

"Luster," Howard continued, unshaken, "Miss Sophia has recorded everything, and the police already have it."

Four police officers entered the office and looked directly at Luster. "Luster, you are under arrest for your illegal actions towards Sophia."

"I am not!" Luster tried to flee, but the police quickly tackled him, his face slamming against the floor once more.

They handcuffed him swiftly and l

    The Lucas, Peter and another senior manager named Liam entered the meeting room, trailed by a hushed atmosphere of pale faces and fearful glances from the other workers. "Stay safe in there." “We will collect your ash, later,” said the other workers as they know three of them will be fried by Alex as they insulted him so much in the past half year. The three top ranks faced Alex with fear etched on their faces; it tasted so bitter. “Do you know why I am calling you?” Alex inquired inside the meeting room. Liam’s voice trembling desperately, “Sir Alex, I need this job for my family. I have three children in college. Please don’t fire me. I beg you.” His eyes brimmed with tears. “When you fired those workers for no reasons, did you consider that they also have a family to feed?” Alex said. Lucas quickly knelt, pleading, “Sir Alex, I'm begging you. Please, you can cut my salary, but don’t cut off my lifeline. I have five children. It is Luster and Ugor who forced me to insult you

    "I am Sophia Deneuve's husband," Alex declared. Both guards looked surprised. To avoid any trouble, a guard called over a bunch of family chauffeurs, wishing one of them would recognize him. "Hey, any of you know this person?" Several drivers strolled up to get a closer look. "Hey, it's Alex, isn't it? Remember me? We've crossed paths a few times on the project site," mentioned the driver for Sophia's parents. "Exactly," Alex responded. "You're Eddie, right?" "Do you know him?" the security guard inquired of Eddie. "Yeah, he's a construction worker," Eddie replied. "Oh, I heard there's a problem with the event area's toilet drainage," the guard remarked. "Were you the one summoned to address it? I was told no one has tended to it, and it's after hours already." "No," Alex asserted firmly. "I'm here as Sophia's husband." The drivers and security guards erupted into laughter. "You've got some jokes there. Really funny," one driver teased. "Do you think any dog and cat can be

    Sophia continued, "This man is really my husband. We have our marriage certificate. He's not just a toilet fixer, he works on Total Construction." Sophia’s father approached Alex. "Aren't you Alex, the construction worker of our hotel?" "Yes, Sir," Alex replied. "Isn't a construction worker and a toilet fixer the same thing? Poor labor?" Envira chimed in, unable to wait to deliver one or two blows to lower Sophia’s status within the family. “A lowly human!” "Sophia," the old grandmother said with a lot of anger and hatred. She now held the key to the Deneuve riches, since her husband had become senile. "I don't want to hear something like this anymore. Let's pretend we didn't hear anything. Please, continue with the event.” “And you, toilet fixer, a lowly human, I command you to sign the divorce papers tomorrow. You are not welcome to Deneuve’s. Get out of here!” "Grandmother!" Sophia pledged. The grandmother ignored Sophia and gave Alex a disgusted look. "Why haven't you left

    "Alex, stop talking," Sophia suddenly interjected, her tone serious. "Don’t say something you don’t really know. It's embarrassing." "But I am telling the truth, a man must not lie!" Alex replied. "What?" Envira interjected. "Will you next say you are the heir to the king?" "Yes!" Alex replied. Laughter broke out around him, some mocking him openly. "You should become a clown instead of a toilet fixer! You are so funny." "If the royal family heard this, you would be facing a death penalty," mocked Miranda Deneuve. “Even a clown knows the boundaries of joking, but this man has none. He will bring us all to our deaths soon.” "Sister-in-law," Miranda Deneuve disgustingly addressed Sophia’s mother, "How did you raise your daughter to end up with such a lowly man? Did you instill your low standards in her? You will tarnish the Deneuve name! Quickly, tell your daughter to kneel in front of my mother for her disgraceful acts!" "Sophia, please just divorce him. He is making a clown of

    Under the luxury chandeliers of the Deneuve mansion, and heavy atmosphere, Grandma Deneuve glared at Sophia, her eyes seething with deep anger. “Listen up, everyone. I am the DENEUVE!” With a swift motion, she raised her stick and struck the marble floor, resonating a loud echo throughout the room. “Anything you do to tarnish the Deneuve’s name, making it the laughingstock of people, is akin to a slap on my face!" "For you, Sophia, I will take back everything you have gained from Deneuve until your divorce with this lowlife!" she continued vehemently. "Effective immediately, you are no longer the CEO of Deneuve Hotels!" Grandma Deneuve had appointed Sophia, the goddess of Blackwood, as the CEO of the Deneuve business to increase her market value. Many wealthy heirs had already approached her, bearing luxurious gifts. Yet, in her pursuit of the highest bidder for Sophia, she failed to notice a lowly thief who, appearing out of nowhere, captured her granddaughter's heart. That jerk

    Under the night sky, behind the road that was just lit by a streetlamp, and a cold wind blows.Sophia’s father frustratingly yelled into the phone. “You are my best friend! How can you refuse to lend me $100,000? Whenever you needed my help, I was always there for you. I'm not asking for a million, just $100,000.”Sophia, Alex, and her mother looked at Tommy, as he argued over the phone.“What? My big brother Andrew called you? I’ve been kicked out of the family? Can’t pay you later? Damn you!” He slammed his phone shut and turned his pale faces to Sophia and his wife.“They’ve called everyone, telling them not to give us any loans.”Sophia’s mother turned to her daughter, blaming her. "See what you have done to us? Divorce this man so we can get everything back! Why must you be so stubborn? Look, we end up on the street, homeless! Because of you."Sophia's head was low.Alex stopped a taxi and yelled to them, “Let's not fight on the road. Let’s get out of here first. We can figure ev

    In the luxury penthouse, Sophia and Alex entered the bedroom together, under the watchful eyes of Sophia's parents.Inside the bedroom, Alex gestured towards the connecting door and said, "I will sleep in the next room."Sophia's face turned red, and she nodded. She had thought they would sleep together, and this reminded her of the morning's events.In his own bedroom, Alex activated his device and made a call to Howard."Sir, it's Alex. How can I help you?""Sorry for bothering you late at night.""No worries, I'm still at the office," Howard responded."Sophia Deneuve, the former CEO of Deneuve. Please send her an invitation to work as the General Manager at Total Construction Blackwood."Howard checked the main system, "Yes, Sir. Sophia Deneuve has all the qualifications to be a General Manager. What about the salary?""Give her twice the Luster’s last salary," Alex instructed."I will do it, Sir."Alex ended the connection with Howard and proceeded to call Lavinia, his personal a

    Alex and Sophia exited the elevator and headed toward the lobby. As Sophia veered off, Alex called out to her, "Where are you going?""To the outside.""Your car is on the ground floor," Alex said, guiding Sophia towards the parking lot.They walked past the special parking area reserved for penthouse residents, which was different from the spaces allocated to other apartment residents.Alex led her to a stunning $10 million sports car. Originally a wedding anniversary gift for Merly, the car had unexpectedly become Sophia’s."Whose car is this?" Sophia stunned. She knew nobody at Blackwood had such an expensive car."It's the company car for the General Manager of Total Construction. So it's yours now," Alex replied with a smile. "Can you give me a lift to the office?"As they drove the sports car out of the luxury apartment building, it captured everyone's attention. The car, a newest and limited edition model, even prompted passersby to start taking pictures as it halted at a red l

    Baron Leonhard once ruled over five villages, but now, two had already deserted him—broken by famine, crushed under unbearable taxes, fleeing for their lives.The remaining three clung desperately together, their souls shredded thin, teetering on the brink of collapse.Misfortune had etched itself into their bones, and they cursed the day they were born into this forsaken land.Two years ago, life was tough but tolerable; they were poor but not starving, scraping by day to day, always hoping tomorrow might offer something better.Then, without warning, the Baron emerged from shadows unknown, raising taxes with ruthless indifference, draining them dry like a vampire thirsting for blood.The villagers' whispers grew darker, their hatred sharper, praying nightly for the Baron's swift demise—but as cruel fate would have it, evil had a way of outliving hope.Today began as another hollow morning, the fields barren as their stomachs, empty hands grasping at dust.But today was different, to

    “A gift?” Michael Dunsmore burst out laughing, the sound sharp and cutting, echoing through the garden.“Who the hell do you think you are, Alex? Last I checked, you barely had two miserable villages scraping by on dirt and despair. You've borrowed so much money these past two years, I'm amazed you can still afford your own damn underwear!”Michael’s cruel laughter was shared by the surrounding crowd.His confidence was bolstered by the knowledge of his family's immense wealth—the prestigious Dunsmore clan controlled four prosperous villages, making Alex's poverty an easy target.Though Michael stood next to Olivia, his fiancée, his eyes lingered hungrily on Ophelia D’Arcy.Her radiant beauty eclipsed Olivia's entirely, and it burned him deeply to see such perfection bound to someone as worthless as Alex.Two years prior, Ophelia had fallen gravely ill, her delicate life hanging by a thread.It was Alex who stepped in, with knowledge unknown to others, and saved her life.In gratitude

    Alex stepped warily out of the manor's heavy oak door, pausing to take in the bleakness around him.The mansion had long since crumbled into a shadow of its former glory—ivy twisted relentlessly through cracked stone walls, weeds snarled around the iron gates, and the rotting wooden beams creaked mournfully with each gust of wind.He lingered a moment, wondering bitterly when this forsaken place had last seen a friendly hand or a hopeful heart.He moved down the rutted dirt road, flanked by rows of dilapidated houses whose decay mirrored his own dwindling pride.These were remnants of a once-thriving community now rotted to its bones, a decrepit slum echoing Miracle City’s decay, only deeper, darker, more desperate.The villagers watched him from shadowed doorways, gaunt faces streaked with grime and despair.Their eyes widened in fear, mothers dragging their children indoors at his sight."Strange," Alex murmured, unsettled. "What have I done to deserve such terror?"Suddenly, a hagg

The whispers and colors vanished, replaced by white-hot agony stabbing through his skull, relentless as an outlaw’s vengeance.He tried to twist free, claw his way awake, but his body was rigid—paralyzed, trapped beneath an invisible weight.I’m still dreaming, he thought desperately, panic clawing at his chest.Maybe I’ll open my eyes and realize it’s all just another cruel illusion.But the pain was too raw, too sharp—too real.Focus. Just wake up.Each thought slipped through his mind like dust kicked up by desert wind.He drifted, helplessly spinning in a storm of chaos.My head hurt so bad?Am I dying?I need to wake up—now!Slowly, the agony dulled into a brutal, throbbing ache.With sheer will, Alex forced himself upright, gasping like a man dragged from deep water.His blurred vision slowly cleared, revealing a luxurious, beautifully furnished study.He was

    “Die! At last, you pathetic worm—you die by my hand!”Eunuch erupted into a frenzied, chilling laughter as he watched the mangled remains explode from his devastating strike.Bits of flesh splattered grotesquely across the ground. Nothing recognizable remained.“Eunuch!” a voice shouted anxiously from below, laced with unease.“Is everything clear up there?”Eunuch surveyed the carnage meticulously, his eyes narrowing with suspicion.There was nothing—no enemy, no traps—completely contradictory to their expectations of an ambush from Miracle City.Only one man. Alex.“All clear! No one left alive!” he called back confidently.Slowly and cautiously, the outlaw elders emerged, ascending from their shadowy refuge, their wary gazes landing on the grisly spectacle.Finally, the Demon King climbed out, a grim shadow cast across his face.“Who was unfortunate enough to meet this gruesome fate?” Van sneered coldly, his eyes lingering with disdain on the shredded remains.“It was Alex—that arr

    Inside the underground heart of the Outlaw’s main fortress, Eunuch doubled over, blood erupting from his throat and spilling violently onto the cold stone floor.“A whole damned week!” he spat bitterly.“And there’s no sign this cursed wound’s ever gonna heal!”He had climbed to legend rank, thinking himself invincible, untouchable—until that young bastard, Alex, activated some wickedly mysterious array, smashing him so savagely that now he could barely muster strength at an early Black Gold rank.Fury darkened Eunuch's eyes as he glared at his handsome young secretary.“Tell me, boy, what the hell is happening outside?”The secretary’s voice trembled as he reported, “Our spies from Miracle City say the king and noble families are still scrambling, desperately plugging the holes left by the Bolton family massacre. They're burying warriors by the dozen. Funerals fill their days; they're tightening defenses, terrified we might strike.”Eunuch laughed coldly, tasting blood again.“Van’s

    But when their forces collided, the impact ripped through Eunuch's body, tearing open flesh and splintering bone.Shock filled his eyes as his skin burst, blood spraying.In desperation, he activated his treasured relics—each one instantly obliterated by the sheer force bearing down on him.Eunuch flew backward, crashing violently through the air before finally stabilizing.He gasped for breath, blood dripping from countless wounds, his pride utterly shattered. Without his treasures, he realized bitterly, he would already be dead.Fear flickered briefly in his eyes, replaced swiftly by grudging respect. “This array...is terrifying,” he murmured, clutching his ravaged chest.Raising his voice, he called to Alex, “You’ve earned my respect. In three months, the Demon King and I await your arrival at Outlaw. Do not disappoint.”Grabbing Van, Eunuch vanished into the horizon.Alex stared grimly after them.
