"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

In the middle of the night, Markus was jolted awake by the sound of distant shouting and the crackling of fire.He blinked, disoriented, lying between four beautiful, naked elves.Pushing the sheets aside, he rushed to the window. From the third floor of his mansion, he could see the flames spreading from Silvercrest's main building.On the other side, the Golden Elm and Ironhide were engulfed in flames as well."What just happened?" he muttered in disbelief, his voice barely a whisper.He snapped into action. "Prepare the carriage!" he shouted to his servant as he hurried out.Within minutes, the fastest carriage sped him to his burning building.The fire roared, swallowing everything in its path.“How could this happen? I was just having the best dream...” His thoughts were muddled, still clouded by the haze of the cannabis he had acquired, worth at least 600,000 gold coins. And now, everything he had—gone, in flames.“What happened?!” Markus demanded as he grabbed his manager, whos

“Pay, pay, pay,” Donovan stammered, the fear clear in his voice. He was always the most cowardly among them three.“But we don’t have that much money,” Elara protested, her voice shaky.Markus, trying to stay calm, added, “Yes, can we just pay 300,000 gold coins?”Duke Ian’s eyes narrowed as he stared down at them. “You merchants really do love your money, always trying to haggle. Alright, I’ll make it simple for you. Each arm and leg will cost you 50,000 gold coins. Pay less than a million, and I’ll just take your arms and legs to cover the rest.”“You can’t do this!” Elara cried, her voice rising in panic.“Why can’t I?” Duke Ian snapped. “You tried to steal from me—why shouldn’t I kill you for that?”“We didn’t know it was yours! If we had known, we wouldn’t have dared to touch it. It is a trap,” Donovan quickly explained, desperation in his eyes.“Roberto!” Duke Ian called out, turning toward him. “Did you or did you not tell them that the cannabis was mine?”“Yes, Duke,” Roberto

"Since when has Roberto become your advisor?"Alex asked, his voice tinged with surprise as he observed the deference Duke Ian showed to Roberto.Duke Ian flashed a wide smile."This man possesses a remarkable mind for business. I invited him to join the Mirestone family, but alas, he declined. So instead, he'll serve as an advisor to Mirestone at Crownreach."‘Of course,’ Alex thought, ‘he's destined to become one of the greatest merchants in the future.’"Mirestone will also be supporting the Forest Merchants from now on," Roberto added smoothly.Alex couldn't hide his astonishment.The Forest Merchants were already flourishing on their own; with Mirestone's backing, their success would be beyond imagination.The only thing they lacked was noble support—and Mirestone was rumored to have connections reaching even the king himself.‘He'll be like a lion with wings,’ Alex mused."Alex," Duke Ian's gaze settled firmly on him, "I heard from Roberto that you arrived with 2,000 gold coins.

When Alex returned to the mansion with Tanya on his back, he found Avery waiting for him.“Master,” Avery said, “Is it true what people are saying? That the three big merchants were attacked by Duke Ian from Mirestone?”“Yes,” Alex nodded, carrying Tanya to the main room.“But they won’t be destroyed. They’re like a big tree with deep roots. Even with a large attack on their place and coffers, they won’t die yet.”Alex had discussed this with Roberto.“The worst that could happen is they’ll shrink to small or medium-sized merchants at best. Meanwhile, the Forest Merchant will likely rise to become a big player.”“I wanted to thank you for helping us, Ravenwood, in delivering our revenge,” Avery bowed deeply.“There’s no need to thank me,” Alex dismissed. “It’s Tanya’s family doing this, not me.”Avery gave another bow, his gratitude directed at Tanya, even though she slept soundly.“I will meditate in my room. Please don’t disturb me,” Alex said before locking himself in another bedro

Alex hurried toward the front door, but before he could even walk down the steps, Ophelia stormed inside, trailed furiously by her mother, Michelle, and her father, Justin.The trio burst into the manor as if it were their own, arrogance dripping from their every move—clearly, this wasn't their first invasion.Instantly, the manor filled with blistering tension, a tempest charged with scorn and disdain.Michelle’s shrill voice sliced through the silence, her words dripping venom." Ophelia you better divorce your husband. Alex Leonhard is worthless sack of shame! He is a stain upon our family name. Divorce him, Ophelia—now! Or your grandmother will toss you straight out of the D’Arcy nobility like garbage!"Ophelia stood unmoved, her voice cool, iron beneath velvet, "If that's her choice, I'll simply live here with Alex. He’s my husband, a Baron; my place was always at his side."Michelle’s face twisted with disgust, her eyes blazing."You stubborn fool! What’s so alluring about this

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

Pain.Brutal, unbearable pain—like a bullet splintering bone and ripping through flesh.Alex's dream shattered instantly. 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. He could have stopped them, could have killed them—but the Demon King’s wrath would

Howard’s heart lurched violently at the sight.If Van escaped, he was finished. Panic surged through him, adrenaline burning in his veins.He shoved Scarlett aside with a desperate, savage strength and sprinted toward Van, screaming, “Wait! Don’t leave me!”Arthur’s jaw tightened. Losing face as king was unthinkable."Stop him!" he roared.Boom! Boom! Boom!Van’s magic blast hurtled toward Arthur, erupting into a series of violent explosions on impact.Amidst the chaos, Alex’s eyes snapped open within the heart of the Thousand Beast Array.The connection between the first and second arrays was complete.His voice cut through the air, cold and absolute. “You think you can leave without my permission?”The atmosphere thickened, solidifying into an unseen cage.Five black gold rank beasts materialized without a sound, encircling Van.They were trapping Van exactly where he stood.Van recoiled, disbelief and rage twisting his features.“Low rank beasts!” he snarled.He tried to break throu
