The Indestructible Alexander Chapter 25
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

"Please don’t resign!" Lucas said frightenedly, as he and the other workers quickly crowded around Sophia."Miss Sophia, please don't say something like this. We will handle all this problem together," said another worker hurriedly."But," Sophia's face turned pale, "they are cancelling all the contracts because of me.""Miss Sophia," Lucas added, "as long as headquarters hasn't fired you, please don’t resign. Our livelihoods are connected to you. If you resign now, someone will get angry at us and fire us all.""But the phone call," Sophia glanced towards the incessantly ringing phone."I am having fun answering that," Lucas said with a smirk. "They'll regret it soon.""Yes, even I’m not worried about that. Why must Miss Sophia worry? At times like this, we must believe in headquarters." Added another worker.“Are

As the internal audit group passed through the crowd, George Spencer looked down, his face pale and distant. Everyone around sensed that something was terribly wrong.Before Preston could go to meet his father, four Eden Group security guards approached him and Envira."Are you Preston Spencer and Envira Deneuve?" one of the guards asked with a displeased and mocking tone."Yes," Preston and Envira answered cheerfully, still thinking they would be treated as VIPs."Leave this place now! You are not welcome here," the guard commanded sternly, as two other guards started to push them toward the exit."Hey, stop it," Preston protested, his voice cracking with confusion, disbelief, and anger."My father, George Spencer, is a senior member here. What is your name? You will be fired if you do this to me.""My name is Jackson," the guard replied bluntly, pushing his head to gesture toward George being escorted out of the building. "Your father has just been fired. So get the fuck off this bu

Andrew knew well that his mother fanatically believed in superstitions. She might actually harm that poor man."Mother, it will cause Sophia displeasure," Andrew cautioned."Why should I care about the bitch who put our Deneuve name to shame and bring bad luck to this family?" she retorted sharply.Andrew activated the screen in the living room and displayed the Eden Group awarding Sophia Deneuve a $500 million project.Grandma Deneuve watched the news with a shock."Did she really secure a $500 million project while we are blacklisted by the Eden Group?" she said in disbelief. "How could this have happened?"Another news story showed that George Spencer was fired along with 29 others from Eden Group, as he was proven to have engaged in illegal activities during his work time.Grandma Deneuve yelled, "It turns out the Spencer family, whom we thought would elevate our status, is actually the one dragging us into bankruptcy! I want to sever all ties with them. Cancel our wedding with th

Windy left five Gold-rank miners dead in the dust, her hands soaked in crimson.She struck with the ferocity of a cornered tigress, and Alex, halfway turned to leave, decided he couldn’t just walk away.He watched her with cold eyes from a broken tree branch, fists tightening at his sides.Enough blood had been spilled. It was time someone stopped her.“Miss Windy,” Alex called out, his voice slicing through the thick air like a whip crack.A twisted grin tugged at his lips. “Been a while, huh?”She glared. “You again. I figured you’d run off somewhere safer. Guess you were the rat stirring up trouble all along.”Alex shrugged lazily.“I know you’re busy slaughtering folks, so I won’t slow you down. See you around.”Then he vaulted from the branch, hit the ground running, and darted into the woods.Windy bared her teeth at his retreating form, then glanced back at the beaten-down miners.She spat, then bolted after Alex, fury driving every step. She’d let him slip through her fingers

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
