The Indestructible Alexander Chapter 17
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

Alex glanced toward the sprawling mining grounds in the distance.It was a dangerous move, especially with the chaos gripping the Fallen Angel Family’s territory.But he couldn’t forget the tears in that kid’s eyes. He wasn’t about to stand by and do nothing.Cassandra stepped forward, a worried crease on her brow.“Alex?”“I’ll be back,” Alex promised, forcing a reassuring smile.“Be careful. Don’t let them know you’re here.”Without another word, he leaped into the darkness, disappearing before any of them could protest.Scarlett watched him go, anxiety twisting in her gut.The Fallen Angel Family’s mines were guarded like a fortress.Hundreds of hapless laborers, most branded with slave marks, toiled under the watchful glare of well-armed patrols.News of the attack on the treetop palace had reached the mines, triggering tremors of fear and confusion.Some miners, sparked by the uproar, tried to break free.Their overseer, Lucas—one of the Fallen Angel Family’s Gold rank enforcers—

Alex and Scarlett left the ruined town behind, acting as if nothing had happened.Still, Scarlett felt the unease rolling off Alex, and she finally broke the silence.“Master, what’s on your mind?” she asked softly.Alex gazed at the dark, star-filled sky. “That old man we met... he’s no ordinary person. Strong. Possibly stronger than most of the fifteen great families. Makes me wonder how many more powerhouses are hiding on this planet.”Scarlett nodded. She’d sensed the man’s terrible strength, but she’d had no clue just how dangerous he was.Alex clenched his fists.He’d assumed the ancient teleportation array here led to treasure—a secret so valuable the Outlaws would fight like mad to control it.Now he realized it was more curse than fortune. If these people learned about Earth through that gateway, they’d invade and destroy everything.Alex resolved that once he got out, he’d seal the path for good—at least until he reached Black Gold rank.Until then, this forsaken planet wasn

Alex stepped forward, “You’re lucky I’m in a good mood.”“I have Body-Strength Pills—rare enough that a few could transform a weakling into a powerhouse. Two bottles of mine for one of high-rank potions.”The youth named Hebo had eyes that gleamed with greed. “Body-Strengthening Pills? Impressive. But I’ll only trade three bottles for one.”A flicker of annoyance crossed Alex’s face.“Fine. Three bottles for one. Let’s get this over with.”Despite his outward reluctance, he was itching to get his hands on a certain flying knife set displayed behind Hebo.He pulled out fifty high-rank potions and ninety Body-Strength Pills, handing them over with exaggerated reluctance.Hebo, practically drooling with delight, shoved five slender blades into Alex’s waiting hand. “A pleasure doing business. Use them wisely.”Alex nodded once and tucked the gleaming knives into his interspatial ring.Hebo barely hid his elation.He figured he’d swindled some clueless alchemist, believing the deal would s

Alex slammed two big bottles of Mana Gathering Pills onto the rickety metal table.“That’s two hundred pills inside,” he snapped at the skinny middle-aged merchant.The man’s jaw hung in disbelief.Even in this desolate era—where ancient tech and battered enclaves stood side by side—a handful of Mana Gathering Pills could decide life or death.Two hundred of them would fuel an entire force of five-star Silver and Gold ranks, boosting their chances to break through to the next level.He never imagined Alex would drop that many pills without a second thought.Alex snatched up the Black Flame Sword, then tossed it to Scarlett. “Try not to burn yourself,” he said dryly.Scarlett, tall and fierce with a restless glint in her eyes, caught the blade.Her draconic bloodline let her handle fire.Still, she looked stunned that he would gift her such a treasure. Then gratitude flickered across her face.She bowed her head in thanks.Alex noted her reaction and felt even more certain he hadn’t ma

A howling wind tore through the treetops, swirling leaves in every direction.Alex couldn’t believe that, in the middle of this beast-infested mountain range, such a bustling city could exist.It sprawled for miles, with towering iron buildings and even a fortified defense post.Most folks wore ragged clothes and huddled behind makeshift stalls, hawking every sort of junk and treasure.Their voices tangled in the air, a constant roar of bargaining.Despite the high-tech gear and the bristling air of a post-apocalyptic world, life here looked grim.People were scrawny, hollow-eyed, and half-starved—but heavily armed from head to toe.Scarlett had filled Alex in on the sad truth: food was scarce, and even the wealthiest among the “fifteen families” barely managed to fill their bellies.Ordinary villagers fared worse.Most Mutant Beasts reeked of rot and bile—too toxic to stomach, let alone eat.Only a rare few were edible, but they’d nearly been hunted out of existence.Foraged berries,

Scarlett’s eyes blazed with sudden resolve. She seized one of the Gold-rank fighter’s swords, yanked it free, and hammered her fist square into his gut.“Boom!”Power erupted from that single blow, sending shockwaves in every direction.The Gold-rank fighter’s face twisted in agony as he hurtled hundreds of meters away, crashing to the ground like a broken rag doll.Anyone could see he wasn’t getting back up.That harmless little rabbit Joe once mocked had turned into a raging tigress with teeth bared.And Alex was somehow at the heart of it all.Joe glared daggers at Alex. “Kane, what’s the meaning of this?”Alex shrugged, wearing a fake look of fear. “Ask her. Scarlett wants payback on you guys. Me? I’m just a helpless nobody. Please, save me—she’s going to kill me too.”Fury flashed in Joe’s eyes.He drew his huge sword, sensing Scarlett’s terrifying power.Three more Gold-rank fighters attacked her in a frantic storm of steel and magic, but Scarlett shrugged off their blows like t

Alex stared down Yosua with unwavering eyes.“Fine. If you insist, I’ll cure you first. After that, I’ll do whatever you says—if you’re not ashamed to make me marry your daughter.”Yosua’s lips twitched into a grin.“Good. That’s more like it. I’ll also send extra help for your mission to return to your home planet and bring back the elixir I need. I need to keep you safe.”Alex arched an eyebrow. “I’m curious, old man. What sort of backup do you plan to send?”“In my domain,” Yosua said proudly.“I’m the only Legend rank. We have three Black Gold elders, but they’re tied down with their obligations. Outside these walls, I’m not as confident, so I’m assigning eight Gold ranks to escort you. That should keep you safe.”Alex laughed. “You overestimate the dangers out there. Three Gold ranks would be plenty.”“I can’t take any chances,” Yosua insisted, shaking his head. “Six Gold ranks, then. That’s final.”“All right,” Alex said after a moment’s thought, “but I have one condition.”“Nam

Scarlett bowed her head. “Yes, Master.”She’d waited a lifetime to decapitate that old rogue Yoshua, and she could wait a little longer if it meant finally getting her revenge.Even in chains, she had the power to snap them on a whim, yet her loyalty to Alex was absolute.After the dragon blood awakened in her veins, she’d reached a strength close to Black Gold rank, and Alex knew he’d gained a ferocious ally.“All right, everyone,” Alex said.“Keep training and solidify your breakthroughs. I’m going to look around and learn more about the Fallen Angel Family. Once Yoshua hands over the Energy Stones, we’ll make our move.”Ethan nodded. Cassandra stepped forward. “Do you want me with you?”Alex shook his head. “Better if you stay put. Too many people draw too much attention.”Scarlett watched Alex leave, confident that within the Fallen Angel Family’s territory, nobody would dare lay a finger on him.The place was nothing but a fortress carved into colossal trees—heavily patrolled, pl

Alex leaned back in his chair, boots kicked up on a dusty table.His gaze settled on the wiry youth chained at the center of the courtyard.“Kid,” he said, voice low and steady, “what’s your name?”The youth lifted her chin, eyes flickering with pride despite the bruises on her face.“Scarlett,” she answered, fire behind her words.Alex took a moment, studying every detail of her battered form.Finally, he spoke. “Scarlett, if I gave you the chance to wipe out the Fallen Angel Family—every last one of those bastards—what would you do?”She froze, uncertainty twisting her features. “Why are you asking me that?”Alex shrugged, his tone dripping with disdain. “Because I’m not one of them, and I’m sure as hell not their friend. Especially after they threatened to kill me first.”A dark, cold light flared in Scarlett’s eyes.“If you can really give me that shot at revenge,” she said, “I’ll swear by the graves of my parents. I’ll serve you until I die. Break that promise, and I’ll accept an
