Five months ago, Alex had a serious conversation with Christopher about what they should do with the Aslan Nobles.

"Can we choose not to kill the nobles?" Christopher asked.

"Yes, we could," Alex replied. "But they’ve held onto their power over the population for generations. They've even changed the king twice, and now, the king is nothing more than a puppet without any real power."

"They are the real power holders in Aslan," Alex continued. His gaze was distant, as if seeing the inevitable path ahead. "You cannot control all of Aslan without controlling the nobles."

"Then we're going to control the nobles without killing them," Christopher said. "We will do it my way. We'll try for a few months."

"I'll give you three months to check," Alex warned, his voice low, almost a growl. "If you don’t succeed, I'll need time to prepare for everything."

Christopher nodded, determination hardening in his chest, yet a knot of dread twisted in his gut.

After three months, Christopher had tried to

    In a distant place, the Marquess Gram stood on the balcony, glaring at the military aircraft hovering in the sky.His anger boiled over as he turned to his captain, his voice sharp and furious. “How dare the Empire’s military come here to support the citizens! Summon all the nobles—we will wage war against the king!”“Lord Gram,” the captain began, his tone tense as his face pale, “we’ve blocked all communications of all New Empire from 10:00 to 11:00, just as you and all nobles agreed. That way, we could kill the protest leaders without anyone recording our actions.”Marquess Gram’s face suddenly drained of color.His hands trembled slightly as he gripped the stone railing. “Are you saying if the military attacks us now, there will be no record? And we won’t be able to communicate with anyone?”The captain nodded, his expression grim. Their plan to silence the protesters had backfired, twisted by the military into a trap for them.“This can’t be true, right?” Marquess Gram muttered,

    Southerland Nelson looked pessimistically at Saladin. "Draconia and Aslan fell exactly when they thought they could win by attacking The Empire. Are you sure that the day you and I attack the Empire won't be our last?"Saladin couldn't be sure. They were facing the God of War, Alexander—the man who had never lost a battle."How long is the peace treaty between Nova and the Empire?" Nelson asked, his voice laced with concern."Same as with the Southern lands, about two years more," Saladin replied, his brow furrowed in thought."What is the chance that the Empire will break the peace treaty and attack us?" Nelson continued, his gaze intense."For the long history of Archlion Empire, they have never broken any peace treaty. They are a people with old tradition who respect their promises and treaties like sacred things," Saladin said."How about Nova attacks the Empire first, and Southerland will support from the back?" Nelson suggested, his tone growing more assertive."How about Southe

    As Matthew lunged toward Crystal, Bard seized the moment, shoving Matthew aside, causing him to stumble and fall to the ground.“What are you doing?” Matthew yelled from where he lay, his eyes blazing with anger.“Don’t touch Miss Crystal with your dirty hands!” Bard shouted, stepping forward to shield Crystal.“You poor driver, aren’t you afraid of what I’ll do to your car? You’d better get out of here before I get really angry,” Matthew taunted, his voice dripping with menace.“I won’t do it.”“Don’t you know that my father is the owner of Aurora Hills Food Factory? I can easily have my security refuse to let you unload your items there. Let’s see if any of the villagers will still use your services then!”Some village women began gathering around, drawn by the commotion.Seeing the growing crowd, Matthew glanced around nervously, his discomfort evident. “Crystal, you’d better think carefully. I’ll come back tomorrow, and you should accept me, or many bad things will happen to you.”

    Matthew took a step back, his eyes wide with a mix of anger and fear. "How dare you kill people! Don’t you even think about facing the police later?"Alex laughed, a cold, mocking sound that echoed in the dark alley. He kept moving forward, his gaze never leaving Matthew’s.“Of all people, you’re the one talking? There have been two cases of missing high school girls in the last five years. Do you happen to know where they’ve gone?”Matthew’s face paled as he stammered, “W-What do you mean? I don’t understand…”“Really?” Alex’s eyes narrowed, his voice dripping with sarcasm. “Then why do you have a sex video with both of the women who went missing?”He stepped forward again, this time grabbing Matthew’s collar, his grip tightening as he leaned in closer. “It’s simple. You had your fun with them, and then you killed them, right?”Matthew’s heart pounded in his chest. “What kind of bullshit are you talking about?” he spat out, trying to pull away.But Alex only smiled, a sinister grin s

    But the gun only clicked, the sound echoing in the silence.Matthew’s eyes widened in shock as he frantically pulled the trigger again and again, but nothing happened.Pete remained calm, pulling a small bullet from his pocket and holding it up. “I took them out from your backpack,” he said quietly, his eyes locked on Matthew.Matthew’s face drained of color, his hands scrambling to find the single bullet that had fallen to the ground.But before he could react, Pete kicked him hard in the face, sending him sprawling.Matthew gasped, the taste of blood filling his mouth as he dropped the weapon.His hands shook as he tried to grab it, but Pete was quicker.He picked up the gun, filled it with the bullet, and aimed it at Matthew, his eyes cold.The tables had turned.“What are you doing, Pete?” Matthew’s voice quivered, a mix of fear and confusion lacing his words.“Nothing,” Pete replied, his tone eerily calm as he pointed the gun at Matthew’s head.“Anna was my cousin, and I loved he

    At night, everyone gathered outside the house for a simple barbecue party.The smoky scent of grilled meat filled the air, mingling with the laughter and chatter of family.The stars twinkled overhead, casting a soft glow on the group as they enjoyed their meal under the open sky.“Alex, I love Crystal so much!” Milla, Alex’s mother, yelled from far while hugging Crystal, her eyes gleaming with warmth.“If you dare to break her heart, I will never forgive you.”“She has the same kindness and gentleness as your mother,” Augustus, the emperor, added, his gaze fixed on Alex as they both sat at the garden bench.“Yeah, and she is amazing,” Alex replied, taking a swig of the cheap beer he shared with his father.“You finally found someone like your mother,” Augustus said, though a note of sadness crept into his voice.He hesitated for a moment, then continued, “Do you know why we are here?”“Because tomorrow will be the last day I am incognito,” Alex said, his eyes narrowing slightly. “And

    Crystal rushed to the neighbor's house when, suddenly, a man appeared and grabbed her, pulling her into a dark alley.“Ethan, what are you doing here?” Crystal gasped as she recognized her brother.“I need your help,” Ethan replied, his voice tense.Ethan Gavin had been on the run for a year, hiding from the Empire, desperate to avoid capture.“Ethan, please turn yourself in to the police,” Crystal pleaded, her voice trembling with urgency. “Just tell them it was all about our father’s actions. I believe they won’t give you a heavy punishment.”“Shut up!” Ethan yelled, his eyes burning with rage. “Is this what your husband taught you? To betray your own blood, to send me to prison or to my death?”He tightened his grip on Crystal’s neck, causing her to gasp for breath. “You are Gavin’s family. How dare you side with the enemy?”“Ethan, it’s over,” Crystal begged, her voice choked with pain.“Believe me, before I die, I won’t rest until our enemies are destroyed! It’s all because of th

    They were about to head out when someone let out a startled shout.“Cassandra’s here!”All the guys in class went rigid.Their eyes locked on the slender girl who just stepped inside. She wore a tight training outfit that revealed every graceful curve.There was a cool aura around her, distant and untouchable, and it made every heartbeat pound twice as hard.Cassandra. She was the dream of nearly everyone in the school.Even back when she was only a junior, people in the Elite class whispered her name, counting down the days until she joined them.Now, their wish was granted—and yet that icy expression kept them all at arm’s length.She was like a goddess on a high throne, too pure for mortal hands.No one dared approach her. No one found the courage to speak.They only watched in silent awe while an ache of longing throbbed in their chests.Then Cassandra’s gaze swept over the crowd and landed on Alex. The moment she spotted him, her frosty demeanor softened.She glided straight to h

    Under the pale glow of moonlight, Camelot stood alone in the courtyard, his heart weighed down by sorrow.His eyes shimmered—not with pride, but with pain—as he looked upon Arthur.“Father…” he began, his voice trembling, barely holding back the storm within.Arthur raised a hand gently, cutting him off. “Camelot, about Sofie… you should speak to her yourself. You know I’ve given her the freedom to choose.”A sharp ache twisted in Camelot’s chest. The promise—so often whispered, so deeply believed—that Sofie would one day be his bride, along with the throne, now crumbled in silence.He interrupted, his voice brittle. “I understand.”He took a breath, steadying himself. “I’ve already decided to relinquish the throne you once promised me. The King’s seat… let it go to Sofie.”Arthur watched, silent and solemn.“This very night,” Camelot continued, swallowing hard, “I swear to devote every ounce of my strength to training. I won’t disappoint you. One day, I’ll stand beside Sofie as her m

    Alex loitered in Sofie’s overgrown yard at the King’s Mansion, pumping his Mana force into the night air like he owned the place.Moonlight flickered across his face while Sofie and Cassandra snored away inside, oblivious to his midnight hustle.The more he trained, the more his Mana felt like it was bonding with the stars themselves, feeding his soul with a slow, powerful burn.After a while, he felt a rush of energy flood through him, and he exhaled, eyes cutting to a rustling bush off to one side.“Father-in-law,” Alex said flatly. “You’ve been spying on me this whole time. Please just step out.”Sure enough, from behind the leaves crept Arthur—mighty, arrogant Arthur, so-called Black Gold rank Magician.He looked downright insulted that someone like Alex, some five-star Silver upstart, had sniffed him out.“So it’s true,” Arthur said, voice tight. “You can actually sense my aura.”Alex raised one brow and scoffed like he’d just smelled something rotten. “You think hiding from me w

    Alex slammed his sword into the marble floor with a deafening crash, sending a web of cracks snaking across the polished stone.He glared at Richard Bolton and snarled, “So you think you can bully anyone you want, but no one can bully you? Stick around if you dare, and I’ll carve that arrogance out of you.”Richard’s eyes flickered with terror.He still remembered losing humiliatingly to Alex during the tournament. Worse, Alex had only grown stronger since then.Glancing toward the upper balcony, Richard searched for his father’s support. But Howard Bolton stood silent, his face twisted in displeasure.He refused to lift a finger in child fight.Alex watched with a mocking grin.Richard, you fool—Arthur trapped Howard with a few well-placed words. If Howard intervenes now, it’ll look like blatant intimidation.The Bolton patriarch had no choice but to swallow the shame.That suited Alex just fine. The longer he provoked them, the more the Bolton Family’s hatred would flare, forcing th

    And Alex had aimed his entire performance at warning Camelot off.The truth was, if Miracle City wanted to break its ceilings, they needed Alex.Camelot might be a prodigy, but the city could survive without him.Without Alex, however? That was a gamble Arthur wasn’t willing to take.Camelot said nothing, but you could practically see the shadows swirling in his eyes.He’d believed from the get-go that Arthur was grooming him for the throne.Without that lofty goal, he’d be just a glorified foster kid, overshadowed by Sofie and hounded by the city’s paranoid elders.With Alex in the picture, he felt the noose tightening.Scarlet Hunt, on the other hand, beamed like a kid in a candy store.Alex’s brand of troublemaking was next-level.He bulldozed through Richard in front of the King and half the city’s VIPs—then strutted around like he owned the place.She’d prided herself on being a wild child, but Alex was playing in an entirely different league.She kind of loved it.Richard and hi

    “Are you actually joking right now?” Richard spluttered, shrinking back like a terrified puppy when Alex’s icy stare skewered him.He’d just gotten a taste of humiliation not too long ago on the arena; there was zero chance he wanted another brutal encore.It wasn’t just Richard who felt the choking tension.The other heirs in the hall blanched the moment they caught a whiff of that lethal vibe Alex was throwing around.No one had expected such brazen audacity in the King’s Mansion.Everyone—even Sofie—was left gaping like clueless fools.Cassandra, however, was rattled in a different way.She knew perfectly well the feud between Alex and Richard boiled down to her.Alex was fueled by raw anger on her behalf, which only wound her heart tighter with a tangle of guilt and admiration.What most people missed was that Alex wasn’t just tormenting Richard for kicks.Nah, the pathetic slime wasn’t worth this level of rage.No, Alex’s real target was the entire Bolton clan. And Richard was th

    Talk about lighting a match.The younger crowd started whispering, eyeballing Alex from head to toe.Some pointed out he was underdressed, looking more like a ragged farmhand than a star of Miracle City.But a whole lot of them were more interested in the two stunning girls on his arms—Cassandra and Sofie, both so dazzling they made half the room sink into self-loathing.Scarlet Hunt, meanwhile, puffed her chest and clung to her own brand of haughty pride, refusing to look second-best.Still, her cheeks turned an interesting shade of pink when her gaze landed on Alex’s face.Most of the men in the room were seeing green: Alex strolling in with two of the city’s favorite beauties, plus rumors that the Hunt heiress was also staking her claim on him.They looked ready to smash their heads against the nearest wall. Is this what it means to be a genius? How had they wasted all that time not training?Scarlet walked right up to him, her dress swishing regally. “Alex,” she said, voice trembl

    An almost suffocating silence slammed over the banquet hall.Richard stood there like some oblivious fool, that tacky grin of his stuck to his face as if someone’d nailed it on.You could practically taste the chill in the air. And the culprit? Scarlet.Sure, she was decked out in finery that screamed “pretty little princess,” but her voice cut through the room like she was the queen of all creation.Everyone who’d been snickering at her before got real quiet real quick. The girl could scare the fangs right off a viper.People whispered to each other, “Hell, that tigress never changed. Whoever’s stupid enough to marry her is signing his own damn obituary.”Clearly, no one felt brave enough to breathe a word too loudly.Camelot cleared his throat, trying to play the peacemaker. “Alright, enough with that,” he said.It was a weak attempt at smoothing things over, and Richard, who was still trying to salvage his pride, just let out a strained chuckle.Then Scarlet fixed Richard with a st

    Three days. That’s how long Alex had been out cold, barely even breathing.Sofie and Cassandra took turns babysitting him like some oversized infant, refusing to let anyone else tend to his sorry self.Meanwhile, the King’s Mansion was a construction zone on steroids—workers hammering day and night, erecting the grand defenses of the Thousand Beast Illusions.If they’d built the damn thing sooner, maybe the Outlaw wouldn’t have waltzed in like he owned the place.In the Main Affairs Hall, Arthur—His Royal Piousness—was neck-deep in paperwork, dealing with the aftermath of the last big brawl.Dead guards? Check.Destroyed property? Check.Gut-wrenching pensions? Check.He also kept sneaking off to see Alex, never letting Sofie or Cassandra catch wind. God forbid the King look even remotely sentimental.A flustered guard rushed in like his pants were on fire. “Your Majesty, Young Master Camelot is here to see you!”Arthur’s ever-present scowl vanished. “Oh? Camelot’s back?” He practical
