But instead of sinking into flesh, the blade met an unyielding surface.

A sharp, metallic clang reverberated inside the carriage as the knife snapped in half.

Greg's eyes widened in shock, his breath catching in his throat.

"What the—?" he gasped, staring in disbelief at the broken blade clutched in his trembling hand.

Alex stirred slightly, shifting in his sleep but remaining oblivious to the world around him.

A faint snore escaped his lips, the gentle rise and fall of his chest undisturbed.

Panic surged through Greg like icy water. His mind raced to comprehend what had just happened.

He had been so certain that Alex wouldn't survive the tower, let alone thwart his assassination attempt without even waking.

Beads of sweat formed on his forehead, trickling down his temples as he backed away.

Disbelief and fear intertwined within him, tightening their grip on his racing heart.

"How is this possible?" he whispered, his voice barely audible over the rumble of the carriage wheels.

    The boys who had snatched the waist bag darted into a dark, narrow alleyway, their footsteps echoing off the grimy brick walls.The three men chasing them skidded to a halt at the alley's entrance.“Avery, hand over the bag,” barked the leader of the trio, his eyes cold and commanding.The two burly men flanking him glanced over their shoulders, scanning the deserted street behind them.“He's not following us,” one grunted, a smug grin spreading across his scarred face.“That new academy kid is always easy prey,” chuckled the other, cracking his knuckles.The leader snatched the waist bag from Avery's trembling hands.“We'll do three or four more runs today. You keep picking pockets from those academy fools like before, and we'll handle any chases,” he sneered.Avery's stomach growled audibly, and his eyes pleaded.“Could I have something to eat first? I haven't eaten anything all day,” he whispered, his voice barely audible over the distant bustle of the city.The leader glared at him

    Alex looked around the table.Mostly academy students filled the place, their chatter buzzing in the background.This was clearly a popular spot for them.“What are you standing there for?” Lyra sneered. “Get out of here. Don’t think you still have any connection with Katherine after losing your rights from the Leonhart family.”A wave of murmurs spread across the room."That Alex... really shameful," someone whispered."He’s already been cast out. How dare he come here and claim Katherine, one of our academy's most beautiful?"“He's shameless to the bone.”“Arthur is much better for Katherine than that loser who keep harassing women.”Suddenly, a calm low voice cut through the noise."Alex!" A beautiful, petite woman rushed toward him, throwing herself onto his back.“This place is mine,” she whispered, her eyes closing as she held onto him.It was Tanya Mirestone, one of the academy's top beauties.She belonged to an even more powerful family than Katherine Randolf's.Not only was sh

    Alex walked along the street, using the Akashic Record to locate the best place in Crownreach.Within the Akashic Record lay the ancient art of geomancy.He used it to search for the best spot to harness the energies of both earth and heaven, knowing it could bring luck and fortune.Those who lived in such places often thrived far more than those stuck in cursed, low-energy lands.To truly become rich in this place, he knew it would demand not just intelligence but also an enormous amount of luck.He had already mastered a special breathing technique that allowed his body to automatically draw energy from the earth and heavens, rapidly boosting his inner strength.Perhaps due to this technique, Tanya—the Sleeping Magician—found comfort near him.She also drew energy while she slept and was particularly sensitive to places rich with power.Alex soon found a spot brimming with energy, though it lay on the outskirts of Crownreach.The place was a ruined estate, overtaken by nature.He cou

    Alex stood before the grand door of the restored mansion, its once-faded grandeur now shining anew under the golden afternoon sun.Just as he was about to enter, he noticed a young boy sprinting out of the front door while yelling.It was the same boy who had stolen from him days before.Their eyes met, and the boy froze in his tracks, shock evident on his dirt-smudged face."Brother, how can you be here? Are you chasing me?" he stammered, his voice tinged with fear."This is my mansion," Alex replied firmly, his gaze steady. "What are you doing here?""Your mansion?" The boy's eyes widened in disbelief. "But that's impossible."A thought struck Alex. "Wait. This house was supposed to be protected by security magic, making it inaccessible to outsiders. How did you get in?"The boy's face turned ashen.He took a step back, glancing around as if seeking an escape route. Sensing his intent, Alex swiftly grabbed his arm."You'd better tell me now," Alex let the threat hang in the air.The

    "Precisely why it's inexpensive and abundant," Alex replied smoothly. "What's the current price?""About one silver coin per kilogram, possibly less since there's no demand," Roberto explained, still puzzled.Alex nodded thoughtfully.With 2,000 gold coins, he could acquire 200,000 kilograms of cannabis—a plant currently dismissed as worthless due to its poisonous properties.But he knew something others did not: in five years, a renowned alchemist would unveil a method to neutralize its toxins, transforming it into one of the most sought-after herbs in alchemy.Its uses would be vast—enhancing abilities, pacifying beasts, and much more.The price of cannabis would skyrocket to 10 gold coins per kilogram, or even more.If his plan succeeded, Alex could potentially turn his 2,000 gold into a staggering 2 million within the year.But he decided to keep this part of the plan a secret from Roberto."Just follow my instructions," Alex said, handing over a hefty pouch filled with 2,000 gold

    In the dimly lit study adorned with rich mahogany furnishings, Donovan leaned back in his leather armchair, a sly grin spreading across his face."We need to accuse Roberto of engaging in dangerous practices and sway public opinion against him," he declared."That way, we'll have a justified reason to attack.Markus raised an eyebrow, swirling the brandy in his crystal glass. "What exactly do you have in mind?""A two-pronged approach," Donovan continued, his eyes glinting with mischief. "First, we'll spread rumors discrediting the Forest Merchant—allegations of fraudulent goods and unsavory business practices."Elara, seated elegantly by the grand fireplace, smirked. "And if that's not enough?"Donovan's gaze hardened. "Then we resort to more direct methods. Accidents happen all the time in this line of work.""Let's proceed, then," Elara agreed, her voice as smooth as silk. The others nodded, their faces illuminated by the flickering firelight.In the art of war, the first casualty

    Roberto mind flashed back to the fate of the Ravenwood family, an old merchant dynasty wiped out when the big three decided they were a threat.The parallels were too close for comfort."This isn't just a simple complaint," he muttered. "It's the beginning of something much worse."The manager closed the heavy mahogany door behind him."I've heard whispers. They're not pleased with our sudden rise and the control we've gained over the cannabis market."A surge of anger coursed through Roberto. "They can't stand to see anyone else succeed!"He exclaimed, pushing back his chair and pacing the room.He remembered his humble beginnings, how the big merchants hadn't even acknowledged his existence.Now, his success had made him a target—a nail standing up, ready to be hammered down."The number of people involved has grown," the manager added gravely. "What began with a dozen complaints has swelled to hundreds. They're gathering outside our warehouses, and I believe they're being led by re

    Late one night in Crownreach, an unprecedented event unfolded that left the city's inhabitants in disbelief.From the shadows emerged three hundred soldiers and knights, their armor glinting ominously under the pale moonlight.They moved with silent precision, splitting into three formidable groups, each led by a stern general.The quiet streets, usually deserted at this hour, were suddenly alive with whispers of fear as the citizens peered cautiously from behind shuttered windows.Emblazoned on their shields and armor was the unmistakable crest of Duke Mirestone.His forces had descended upon the city without warning, and their purpose was as clear as the silver insignia they bore.One hundred soldiers, commanded by General Collins and flanked by five imposing knights, marched swiftly toward the grand headquarters of Silvercrest Trading.The workers there, accustomed to the routine of commerce, froze in utter shock.Never had they imagined that their respectable establishment would b

    The crowd thundered with cheers, their shouts echoing off every wall of the arena.Those who had wagered on Richard yelled his name with utter confidence, certain they were about to collect their winnings.Then, as if someone had flipped a switch, every voice went silent.Richard was moments away from fusing with his Beast Genetic, gathering the power deep within his soul realm.But in that crucial instant—just when he needed absolute concentration—Alex dashed forward and smashed an open palm into the back of Richard’s head.Boom!Richard, poised on the brink of transformation, crashed face-first into the arena floor with such force that the impact left a crater.His merging process collapsed in an instant, the energy he’d built up scattering like dust in the wind.The once-handsome face that had inspired so many admirers was now pressed flat against the ground, blood trickling from his nose.Hovering beside him was Alex, stretching leisurely, looking for all the world like this fight

    Richard’s nostrils flared as fury radiated from every muscle in his body. He raised his fists, stepping forward to unleash a barrage of blows toward Alex.Against someone like this, Richard saw no need to reveal his own Beast Genetic right away.As far as he was concerned, once he awakened that power, Alex wouldn’t last a single exchange—let alone the twenty moves he’d been instructed to wait.Alex’s lips curved into a cunning smile. So he won’t use his beast form right away? In that case, I’ll settle this in one strike.He had planned to put on a show, barely scraping a victory for dramatic effect.But now, there was no point in pretending. A sudden pressure rippled through the arena as Alex activated his mana.“Let’s go, Alpha Wolf,” he whispered.A brilliant flash of light illuminated the battleground. Out of thin air, a towering white-furred wolf appeared, then merged seamlessly with Alex’s body.Corded muscle rippled beneath Alex’s skin as the beast’s power coursed through him.R

    A Few Days Later: The Great Coliseum of Miracle CityMiracle City’s Great Coliseum sprawled across the eastern district, an enormous stone structure encircled by tiered stands capable of seating tens of thousands.Folks in this town adored a good brawl—whether it was a tavern scrap or a formal duel, there was nothing like betting on blood and broken bones to get their hearts racing.On this blustery afternoon, the nobles and lesser families alike had mustered for a fresh round of contests.The Steel Family sat huddled off to one side, just a stone’s throw from the Bolton Family, looking oddly pleased with themselves.Frankly, nobody used to give a rat’s tail about the Steel Family—they were broke, battered, and about as influential as mold on an outhouse.But now? Suddenly, they were the center of attention.Why? Because Carmen Lie—the downright dazzling and formidable Director of the Alchemist Association—had strolled in like she owned the place and parked herself right next to them,

    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
