The Indestructible Alexander Chapter 22
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

At the Total Construction office, Sophia Deneuve was working hard.At first, she feared that some of the senior managers might look for her mistakes, trying to halt her progress to express their dissatisfaction.Usually, the general manager was promoted from among the longstanding senior managers, but with an outsider like Sophia taking the top position, she anticipated resistance.Contrary to her expectations, however, the team was unexpectedly accommodating. When she asked for one thing, they eagerly did ten, seemingly afraid to fall out of her favor.At lunchtime, Alex knocked on her office door and entered with a beaming smile. "My wife, I brought our lunch," he announced cheerfully."Alex," Sophia startled, "there’s no need for this. People will talk badly about us. You know I'm new here. What if the workers start gossiping?""Lucas!" Alex called out to Lucas, the most senior manager, who hurried over to Alex’s side."Yes, Sir Alex.""My wife works very hard. I will come to bring

"Did you instruct Luster to drug Sophia before?" Alex inquired sharply, observing every twitch and shift in Preston's expression."Who is Luster?" Preston appeared genuinely confused, suggesting he might not be involved.“Preston!” Envira called out, walking toward him with visitor passes in her hand. "We have secured our passes."Turning her attention to Alex, Envira scrutinized him. "Aren’t you cheap goddess Sophia‘s husband, that toilet fixer? What are you stopping my fiancé for?""Your good fiancé is going to pay me a million dollars to make my wife sleep with him," Alex retorted."What?" Envira looked at Preston angrily. "Did you say that?""You scoundrel! How dare you twist your words like that?" Preston yelled angrily. "I offered you a job as a janitor out of kindness, and yet you offer your wife for a million dollar per night!""What!?" Envira exclaimed, shocked. “He sold Sophia!”"Yes, and I told him, 'I love Envira more than anything; I would never betray her!" Preston lied

"Absolutely!" Preston and Envira chuckled."Who wouldn't want to join in on a bet with a 1000% chance of winning? Do you realize it's practically impossible even for the entire Deneuve family to reserve the entire Royal Ritz? Do you really think your high-and-mighty Sophia Deneuve can pull it off?""How about this, since we're feeling generous," Preston sneered. "You can start running naked, sparing Sophia the trouble. Then, we can annul the bet.""Why annul the bet?" Envira protested, her voice oozing disdain. "I want that woman to face the humiliation.""Both of you are so disgusting," Alex suddenly interrupted, his voice heavy with disappointment. "I don't know what your past with Sophia is, but I've never met people as despicable as you both. You two better get out of this building now."Preston and Envira laughed mockingly. "What? Now the toilet fixer wants to act tough? You're the one who should leave this building, or I'll call my father to have the guards kick you out.""Let m

“Grace Cecil!” George stood abruptly, his eyes burning with anger.“What game do you think you're playing? Do you believe you have the power to fire me? I will rally my people to demonstrate and remove you from your position as General Manager.”“Really?” Grace Cecil shocked. “Well, how about this? There are 56 people here. If you can get more than half of these people to support you, I won’t fire you. I might even consider stepping down.”“Keep your word!” George, scanning the room of project managers, his voice filled with defiance, said, “How long are we going to bow to this Capital city woman! This is Blackwood! We need a leader from Blackwood! We will inform the Chairman that Grace is unfit to lead us, oblivious to our local traditions!”Some were still reluctant, but a few hands hesitantly rose.“25... and still not enough to make half,” George shouted, trying to bolster his side. “Come on, guys, we people of Blackwood need to stick together. Now is the time to rise. With the m

"Really?" questioned a businessman, his face already etched with desperation as he gazed at his massive formidable competitors. Suddenly, a glimmer of hope emerged within him.“There are only three senior managers at the Eden Group, and my father is the most senior, just one level below the general manager.” Preston added with confidence."As you know, the current general manager of Eden Group is from the capital city. She doesn’t know much about Blackwood, so she delegates all decisions regarding project contracts to my father!" Preston boasted.As he spoke, more people were drawn to his words.“Listen to me, if you want a quick and guaranteed project from Eden Group, you need to know my father. And with the right…” Robert gestured with his thumb and forefinger, mimicking the universal sign for money, “all of you will get any project you want.”“Are you sure?” asked another businessman.“Envira,” Preston called out to her. “This is my fiancée, from the Deneuve family. I just secured

After bidding farewell to Ferdinand, Alex, William, and Rudolf boarded their old car back to the Steel Family, each having gained something valuable from their journey.Upon returning, William and Rudolf summoned the entire Steel Family to distribute elixirs for faster growth, while keeping secret from outsider.Alex then settled into his private room to focus on intense practice.That evening, Alex learned from the Alchemist Association’s Carmen Lie that a group of assassins had attempted to steal the Iron plate but were swiftly dealt with by her bodyguards.Alex’s eyebrow twitched, surprised that anyone in Miracle City would dare attempt such a brazen act, and he guessed the assassins must have known the smartphone’s true purpose—serving as a key to many hidden bunkers and locked places in ancient ruins—making such a dangerous risk worthwhile in their eyes.Only the Outlaw could be bold enough for such crimes, leaving Alex certain of their involvement.Regardless of whether it was t

Alex had already fused with a Phantom, though no one knew.His trip wasn’t simply to find an ordinary Beast Genetic, so William’s references were of little use.“I have my own plan,” Alex said with a nod.William and Rudolf exchanged anxious smiles. They kept forgetting that this fifteen-year-old was no ordinary child—he was more like a monster genius, beyond their ability to guide or decide for.The car sped forward, and Alex had William check that no one was trailing them.Once he confirmed they weren’t being followed, Alex finally relaxed.Despite that, a lingering worry remained that someone might be monitoring him—either the Bolton Family or the Outlaw group.Both had immense power, but luckily neither seemed interested in following a teenager this time.By the time they did pay attention, Alex believed he would have already grown too strong for them to handle.Beast Genetic Merchant Hall – VIP RoomUpon revealing their identities at the Beast Genetic Merchant Hall, Alex and his

“Sixty-five million dollars!” Carmen Lie’s voice rang out through the hushed auction hall. Despite the hammering of her own heart, she refused to back down.Alex had given clear orders: whatever the cost, the iron plate must be won—and he would pay.She swallowed hard. Sixty million... Was this battered piece of metal really worth it? What was so special about it that Alex insisted she secure it at all costs?From the raised balcony, Alex studied the cloaked figure down on the main floor.Whoever the man was, he was determined to challenge the Alchemist Association head-on.“Seventy million,” the mystery bidder called. He sounded uncertain but still pressed forward.“Seventy-five million,” Carmen countered immediately.Gasps rippled across the crowd. The price soared higher and higher.Nearby, William and Rudolf stood speechless. They knew Alex needed that plate, but they hadn’t expected the bidding to explode like this.Their minds buzzed: Just how deep are Alex’s pockets? How much

“Grand Elder Rudolf, take this Body Strength Pill. Consume it once you’re home—it’ll do wonders for a Fighter’s physical prowess.”Alex handed Rudolf a small pill, its surface gleaming with faint energy.“Thank you, Alex!” Rudolf’s voice trembled with emotion.He knew how ridiculously expensive Body Strength Pills had become; rumors claimed one could cost over a million dollars.Nearby, William’s eyes shone with envy.He knew as well as anyone that these pills weren’t just for Fighters—Magicians benefited greatly from them, too.“Alex,” William said with a respectful nod, “the Steel Family is your family. Our treasury is your treasury. Take whatever you like from it.” He gestured expansively.In truth, most items left in the Steel Family’s vault were useless to them.He actually hoped Alex would take more. The elixirs Alex had already given were worth more than the entire Steel Family combined.“I’m surprised by your generosity, Patriarch,” Alex said, eyeing William.“It seems I’ve mi

Rudolf took the bottles from Alex and immediately opened one.His eyes went wide the instant he saw the contents: a mix of Mana Refining Pills and Mana Gathering Pills.Though each pill was tiny, their authenticity was unmistakable, and realizing what he held made his heart pound with excitement.He discovered there were a hundred high-rank potions in one of the box—an astonishing number.Typically, only the most influential families had access to such elixirs; finding them on the open market was nearly impossible.Not too long ago, Miracle City’s King Auction House sold only a few high-rank potions.Just one fetched the staggering sum of five hundred thousand dollars.If a single potion could command that price, then hundreds would easily be worth over a ten to hundred million!This enormous figure almost made Rudolf feel faint.No matter how wealthy you were, getting your hands on high-rank potions without special channels was nearly unthinkable.“These pills are pricey right now be

Mateo and Jose joined the bidding war the moment it began, their voices cutting through the din as four prominent families clashed over those coveted pills.The commotion only settled when the price soared to three hundred and twenty thousand dollars—a sum that made the entire room hold its breath.William, rubbing his hands together in a mix of excitement and nerves, sidled up to Alex.“Alex, these are precious Mana Refining Pills,” he said, voice pitched low.“You sure you’re not going to buy? Better you get them than watch those other families snatch them all.”Alex merely shrugged and leaned back in his chair.“Not really interested,” he answered softly.“I’ve picked up quite a few items already. Let the others have some fun bidding—it’s boring if only one person wins every time.”William didn’t know whether to laugh or groan.He was well aware how valuable Mana Refining Pills could be for cultivating the younger generation.But then a thought struck him: these pills came from the

William's and Rudolf's faces turned pale.They were just a small clan; without a noble title, they might never stand among the other clans.Even with their noble status intact, they remained at the bottom of the hierarchy.The two noble clans standing before them could crush the Steel family any time they wanted.Alex stood abruptly, a wide grin splitting his face.“When a man lets his mouth run, the words are like spit—once out, they can’t be taken back. It’s disgusting.”“What do you mean by that?” Mateo demanded, his brows furrowing.“I accept your war cry. Starting tomorrow, let our clans go to war!” Alex declared boldly.William grabbed Alex by the arm, panic etched on his face. “What are you doing? Do you want to get our clan destroyed?”Alex shook his head, his smile sharp. “Why care about two small clans like theirs? We’ll call the Alchemist Association. With their help and a thousand gold and silver ranks fighters, we can flatten their clan. Once they’re out of the way, we’ll

Mateo and Jose scoffed like they had something foul caught in their throats.They couldn’t fathom why the almighty Alchemist Guild would even bother dealing with the Steel Family.They’d sent their own lackeys to snoop around, but came up empty.Now, tension clogged the air inside the private gallery.Rudolf and Alex sat off to the side, enjoying their tea and keeping quiet.This was a clash among heads of noble houses; neither man felt any need to join the bickering—unless it served them.Rudolf leaned in toward Alex.He whispered, “Ramirez and Sanchez have always strutted around like roosters. When the Steel Family was in the gutter, they tried to buy up our land for pocket change.”“We knew who was behind it and refused. Later, during the Bolton crackdown on us, these two vultures swooped in and snatched our trade routes.”At that, Alex narrowed his eyes at Mateo and Jose.Petty spats among small clan heads never interested him.But since these two were Bolton’s lapdogs, they had t

Alex meticulously copied three of his elixir recipes into papers.Each was designed to boost Miracle City’s overall strength, yet he understood the importance of restraint.Introducing them all at once could overwhelm the city’s foundations, causing more harm than good.He had already planned to share these formulas, even without any prompting or persuasion from Carmen Lie.Once he was done, Alex lifted his gaze to meet Carmen’s.“I can only offer three recipes for now,” he said in a level tone.“They’re all highly potent, especially the Cold Resistance Pill. I’m sure you already know how useful that one can be.”Her eyes sparkled with excitement.“Thank you, Alex. You’ve contributed so much to Miracle City. If the King were to hear of this, I’m certain he’d grant you a higher title of nobility!”Alex shook his head, dismissing the idea. “I have no interest in titles or prestige. I only ask that you keep my involvement quiet.”Carmen couldn’t hide her amazement at his maturity; he was
