“How old is that brat, Alex?” Lancelot wondered, pacing the courtyard.

“He’s barely a whelp, yet speaks about man-and-woman business like he’s some worldly veteran. And now he dares to demand Sofie’s hand—just like that?”

He gave a long, weary sigh, swallowing hard. “If anyone else had come with such a ridiculous request, Arthur would’ve beaten him to death on the spot.”

For a moment, Lancelot could practically feel Sofie’s father crushing an insolent fool’s skull.

But here he was, standing in Alex’s yard, forced to be the messenger.

“I can’t decide a thing,” he muttered, trying to keep his voice steady.

“Arthur must approve this. Heaven knows how I’ll bring it up. ‘Oh, Your Majesty, our precious little Sofie is being offered up in exchange for Alex’s so-called Thousand Beast Illusions…’ Hah!”

He nearly laughed at the absurd image forming in his mind. Then that laughter turned to dread.

He could already picture Arthur’s reaction—fury unmatched.

Yet, Miracle City needed that Thousand Be

    Lancelot could feel the air tighten around them as Arthur’s anger grew.He thought to himself, If you truly wanted to kill Alex, you would have done it by now. Why wait, especially after he brought Siri out?But he dared not voice these thoughts.Arthur’s glare pinned Lancelot in place.Then, in a thunderous roar, he bellowed, “Do you think I fear that whelp? Alex might have Siri on his side, but if I wanted him dead, he would already be buried in the ground.”Lancelot quickly replied, “Lord Arthur, please, calm yourself. Of course you could kill Alex if you wished. But you’re too grand a man to be bothered with such trifles.”Arthur snorted, cheeks flaring red with rage. “That brat has his sights set on my daughter, and I won’t abide it. He’s nothing but a toad lusting after swan’s flesh. If he dares breathe a word about Sofie again, I’ll make him regret the day he was born.”Lancelot offered a tense, apologetic smile.He had known Arthur for years, and this fury was nothing new—tho

    When the great Mutant Beast horde ravaged the continent, countless powerful experts fled to Miracle City.Many arrived exhausted and wounded, yet clutching priceless relics and tools.In time, those precious items found their way into the grand vaults of the King’s Mansion.Had Alex known just how extensive the King’s hidden stores were, he might have prepared himself for what awaited him.Instead, standing in the heart of the mansion’s courtyard, Alex stared down at a sprawling diagram.“All right,” he muttered, sounding only half-enthused.“We’ll start constructing the Thousand Beast Illusions.”He shook out a detailed parchment. “This is a rough map of the King’s estate.”Lancelot arched an eyebrow. “Rough map? It’s practically exact!” It was incredible how comprehensive the layout looked.Tall ramparts, winding corridors, every secret passage meticulously noted. “How on earth did you acquire all this? The place is guarded like a fortress.”Alex smirked. “Siri flew overhead. Nobody

    Alex eyed Sofie with a fondness he rarely let slip, a softness that clashed with his usual cocky façade.Father and daughter, cut from the same cloth.Both of them—hopelessly dedicated to their beloved Miracle City.He couldn’t help but laugh, daring to say, “You promised me, princess. Don’t you dare back out now.”Meanwhile, in the shadows, Arthur nearly choked on his own fury.It was bad enough that Alex trash-talked him the minute he stepped out of sight, but conning sweet, naïve Sofie?That was a one-way ticket to condemnation in Arthur’s book.If he didn’t need Alex’s skills to lay down the Thousand Beast Illusions, Arthur would’ve already burst out and pummeled the brat.The only thing stopping him was the thought of Sofie’s disappointed face.Sofie frowned as she turned to Alex, eyes flickering with heartbreak.“Don’t misunderstand my father,” she pleaded. “He’s a good man—he just wears the crown that weighs on him all day, every day. He’s responsible for the entire city; he ca

    Arthur’s expression looked like someone had just spilled rancid coffee on his favorite rug.He rubbed his temples and practically spat, “So, you’re telling me we’re relying on Bernard’s squealing alone to pin the Bolton Family for conspiring with those lowlife Outlaws?”“That’s not gonna fly. I need evidence—solid, inarguable, drop-dead proof.”Davis exhaled, dead serious. “Yeah, we got that memo loud and clear. Just a single confession from that sniveling Bernard wouldn’t hold a candle in court, so we set up a little trap.”“Right after he started singing, the Boltons rushed in to buy a massive load of pills off us—clearly fishy timing, right? So we laced one of them with a Fragrance Tracking Pill, then unleashed our hound Mutant Beast to secretly follow the scent.”“Surprise, surprise: the delivery ended up straight in Outlaw’s filthy hands.”Arthur’s eyes narrowed. “Well, that nails them with suspicion, but suspicion alone doesn’t cut it. The Boltons’ power runs so deep in Miracle

    “How dare you belittle Black Gold–rank Magicians?” Arthur snapped. “Do you realize the power that rank demands? Or are you just that suicidal?”Lancelot inwardly cringed. Every time Arthur and Alex had a conversation, it turned into a fireworks show.Arthur was King—he had the authority, the presence, and enough raw power to back it up.Most people would shrink into a cowering puddle before him. But Alex? The kid had zero reverence, zero fear.Sometimes Lancelot wondered if Alex enjoyed pouring gasoline on the King’s temper.“Lord Arthur, let’s not jump to conclusions,” Lancelot tried to interject, playing referee. “Alex is probably just—”“Talking exactly how I want,” Alex cut in, fixing Arthur with a predatory grin.“Don’t assume you’re hot stuff just because you hit Black Gold rank, old man. Trust me, if you’d seen real apex power, you’d realize your rank is still scraping the bottom.”“Frogs in a well—that’s what you are. But hey, if you’re so confident my little array can’t finis

    Arthur couldn’t believe his own eyes.How in the world was this tiny so-called “Number One Killing Array” controlling a whole pack of vicious Genetic beasts—and coordinating them perfectly to gang up on him?He sneered, trying to hide his shock. “Alright, you nasty critters,” he muttered, “let’s dance.”No sooner had he braced himself than dozens of beasts lunged in.A monstrous Abyss Bear, a writhing Black Water Armyworm, a shrieking Wither Bird, a spitting Toxic Frog, and a Flaming Snake with scales as red as sin—they all surrounded him in a suffocating ring of drool, claws, and gleaming eyes.Each one was Black Gold rank, each more maddeningly dangerous than the last.Arthur clenched his jaw. He was used to fighting two, maybe three Black Gold beasts at once.But dozens?“You’ve gotta be kidding me,” he growled, eyeing their snapping jaws and venomous stingers.“My own treasury is full of these nightmares?” His voice dripped sarcasm. “Fantastic. Best day ever.”With a thunderous Bo

    Sofie’s yard.Alex hobbled through the gate, flinching every time his aching butt reminded him of Arthur’s merciless smack-down. Frankly, he looked like a war vet who’d barely made it out alive.Cassandra soft gasp, “Alex?”That bright, melodic voice made him pause.He turned, spotting Cassandra leaning casually against a stone pillar.She wore a sleek training outfit that clung to every curve of her body, the sunlight accentuating her elegant but fierce aura. Her big, soulful eyes flickered with concern.Alex forcing a grin, “Cassandra. Uh… fancy seeing you here. Didn’t expect you to be up this late.”She pursed her lips, an unreadable sadness in her gaze. “I went looking for you in your old yard and found it empty. I panicked. Then I heard you’d moved here—to Sofie’s place.”For a moment, Alex’s mind short-circuited.He knew Cassandra had feelings for him—her thoughtful glances, the sweet blush on her cheeks. It wasn’t exactly subtle.But he knew exactly where his heart belonged — S

    Deep in the southern corner of the King’s Mansion—a wide, open Martial Arts Field—sixty hooded figures had gathered.Usually, the field buzzed with fighters training during the day. But at night? It was a ghost town. Perfect for a secret ritual.In the center of the field, bizarre blue inscription patterns glowed on the ground like a twisted spiderweb of light with fifty people getting bounded.The sixty figures stood in a circle, chanting in an eerie, guttural tone. Their voices rose and fell in unsettling harmony as they poured raw Mana into the inscriptions.A trio of unsuspecting King’s Mansion guards came patrolling from a nearby corridor.They noticed the strange glow and jogged over, curiosity leading them straight to a nightmare.Guard #1 was frowning: “Hey! You lot—who the hell are you? This area’s off-limits at night!”Before they could draw their blades, three black-clothed assassins melted out of the shadows behind them.Pressure points were struck with surgical precision.

    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.

    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 thro

    Howard felt the chaos closing in as voices erupted like gunshots across the hall, sharp and merciless:“The Bolton Family betrayed Miracle City!”“Surround them—no one escapes!”The accusation cut deeper than steel, igniting a fury that darkened every eye with murderous intent.Every family here had lost blood to the Outlaw, had buried kin butchered by betrayal, and now the Bolton name carried that stain of treason—unforgivable and deadly.Yet the Bolton Family’s elders wore cold, confident smiles, mocking the crowd’s rage.With a flick of their hands, darkness surged from their hidden scrolls, unleashing a poison storm—deadly gas filled the air, tearing through warriors and painting the floor crimson with spilled blood.Hundreds fell in mere breaths.The Bolton elders ascended slowly, wrapped in swirling darkness, eyes lit by cruel satisfaction, certain their poison storm would crush any resistance.But Alex stood before them, unshaken.His voice rang out, iron striking stone, echoin

    Howard charged forward like a raging storm, his powerful strides sending dozens of warriors from the Goldenhart and Hunt Families sprawling helplessly aside, bones cracking and armor shattered.In Miracle City, his strength ranked third—only beneath the legendary Clark and Arthur—and with Arthur absent, no one could halt Howard’s fury as he smashed through the siege, guiding the Bolton Family warriors toward freedom.Pursuers from the Goldenhart and Hunt Families poured from the hall like enraged hornets, blades flashing and screams echoing, turning the courtyard into a battleground seething with chaos.Lancelot sprang upward, rushing toward the Thousand Beast Array—once activated, it would spell the end of the Boltons’ escape.But before he could reach it, three shadowy figures, Black Gold rank elites, exploded from the darkness toward him.Seeing Lancelot fail to reach the array, Alex bolted forward, determined to take his place.Howard’s eyes blazed with murderous fury as he locked

    Howard's cold gaze swept across Galahad and his companions, his voice cutting like a blade.“Isn't the Goldenhart Family going a bit too far? Killing Bernard right in front of our faces? Regardless of his sins, Bernard served my Bolton Family loyally for years. Even expelled, he's still ours—are you trying to humiliate me openly?”Alex stepped forward, a bitter smirk curling on his lips, “Such righteous indignation, Howard. Protecting traitors now? Makes sense, seeing Bernard was the Bolton Family’s trusted hound and partner to the Outlaw.”His tone turned colder, eyes locked onto Howard. “Don’t worry; Bernard isn't alone—there’s another.”Seconds later, The First was dragged in, dressed in shabby grey, face pale and eyes darting wildly in fear.“Recognize this man, Patriarch Howard?” Alex’s voice held an icy calm.Howard’s brow twitched as he feigned ignorance, voice steely, “Why should I?”Alex smiled thinly, unimpressed. “This man is The First, a Deacon of the Outlaw and liaison wi

    However, there was one man who didn't give a damn—Xavier Hunt.Xavier strode through the hall, holding a goblet high, his voice loud and brash."Brother Howard! It's been ages since we've shared a drink. Tonight, with big brother Arthur hosting, let’s seize the moment. Come, raise your glass!"Howard Bolton smiled stiffly and swallowed his wine, bitterness lurking beneath his polite facade. "You're too kind, Brother Hunt."Xavier laughed, eyes glittering with mockery. "Good! That's the spirit. Men, fill Howard's cup again!"The patriarchs around them grew silent, glancing nervously from the Boltons to the Hunts. Under the oppressive shadow of the Goldenhart Family, these men knew well enough to keep clear of the Boltons.But Xavier Hunt feared nothing. His family was bound tight to the Goldenharts; loyalty unquestioned, suspicion impossible.Howard felt the uneasy stirrings of dread. Something was wrong—dangerously wrong.Arthur Goldenhart had yet to appear, and if Arthur was dead, to

    Howard Bolton, iron-willed patriarch of his clan, still reeled from the sight before him, his pulse hammering with the raw truth that even Arthur himself could never stand this close to roaring magic fire and walk away unscathed. So who in God’s name was this lean, stone-faced newcomer whose skin drank the flames without a blister—had the girl already broken into Legend rank while nobody was looking.Before the hush could lift, Scarlett slid in, feinted a weak guard to lure Douglas forward, then clamped on the man’s forearm, pivoted, and drove a boot so deep into Douglas’s ribs that the crack of cartilage echoed like gunfire.His face flushing green while bile surged up his throat and the breath left him in a wet rattle.Alex watched, lips pinched in cool approval, because Scarlett understood the math of violence—flash a lapse, bait the swing, lock the limb, and unload one merciless shot that could fold any ordinary Black Gold bruiser into useless scrap before he even knew the trap h

    Howard Bolton muttered to himself, eyes roaming the hall like a caged predator.“Why aren’t they here? Where in hell is the rest of Goldenhart?”All the rival powerhouses had arrived in force, but only two in ten Goldenharts had shown face, and that imbalance stank of a trap he couldn’t yet smell.The Boltons occupied the geometric heart of the room, a bull’s‑eye encircled by sharpened gazes.Any misstep would be spotted, judged, and fed to the rumor mill before the first scream left a throat.Alex’s gaze drifted across the sea of nobles and locked onto Cassandra, Carlos, and their kin, even the Steel family’s grim patriarchs and the cool‑eyed Scarlett crowding among them; invited or not, they would plant themselves here—​but he still owed them a warning.He strode toward the Steel table.William, Rudolf, and their lieutenants brightened, pride flickering in their eyes; they had seen Goldenhart elders tip their heads to Alex, had heard whispers that he was the king’s favored suitor, a

    Howard exhaled through his teeth, crushing the rage that threatened to spill, and his voice curled across the room like smoke.“No,” he said, every syllable measured, “this maybe a trap—bait for the Bolton wolves—meant to lure us into a sprint, then gut us when we’re off balance. We will not bleed for small stakes when the grand design is at risk.”Richard, blood still on his lip, snapped, “Father, the Hathaways are mocking us! Do you know what the other families will say? We’re the damn Boltons—how can we let them humiliate us like this!”“You useless son! A disgrace to the family—you can’t even handle a woman, and now you dare hide behind the Bolton name?” Howard’s voice was thunder.“The Goldenharts are closing in, we barely have enough men to hold the line, and you cry about pride? Then act like a Bolton—go crush Cassandra and show me your pride means something!”Richard bowed his head, unable to lift it, shame burning through his chest.Howard’s glare could’ve cut steel. “Once we
