2024-04-03 19:44:00Merly stood at the door, rigid like a lioness, faced the gathered crowd fiercely.
"Everyone, look at this useless man," she shouted with contempt, "He can't bring me any happiness in my life. He gave me ugly, cheap things, and all bitter food to eat!"
“Before marriage, I didn’t even need to work. Rich men were lining up to provide everything I needed!”
"Since I married, I’ve known nothing but pain and poverty." She scanned the crowd arrogantly. "I ask you, do I have the right to divorce this worthless man?"
An unmarried, 70-year-old grandmother retorted, "Merly, you are beautiful, and you are already too kind to your trash husband. If it were me, I would have long ago divorced him! Even if you gave him to me for free, I wouldn’t take him."
"Agree," chimed in another ugly man. "Merly, you're too pretty for him. Even I am much better than him. Your husband is totally trash."
"Sister," a man shouldered his way through the crowd in hurry. "Sorry I'm late. Where's that bastard?"
Merly pointed disdainfully to Alex, who was standing with the gift on his hand.
Jason, Merly's brother, walked over to Alex, his friend in tow.
"Alex, I didn’t know you were so lowly as to reject the divorce. My sister had to call me to force you to the government agency. Don’t you have even a shred of pride, man?"
"I still love her," Alex whispered.
"Blueeghh... Take him away!" Merly commanded disgustingly. “There is no love from poor people!”
Jason and his friend grabbed Alex by each arm, locking him, and began to push through the sneering crowd.
“You don't deserve her, poor man,” added the old grandma.
“Worthless man cannot satisfy her wife,” insulted the crowd.
“Is your dick so small?” Giggled some women.
The trio approached an old box truck, its dirty and still smelling of some organic substance. Jason swung open the rear door roughly and shoved Alex inside.
“Don’t do this to me Jason,” Alex said. “You still owed me $5.000.”
Hason laughed. "I don’t remember I owe you any money. If you dare to run away, I will break both of your legs."
He slammed the door shut, leaving Alex in near darkness, with only thin beams of light piercing through the box’s holes.
The truck's engine rumbled to life and began to move.
Inside, Alex, overwhelmed by sadness, clutched the gift for his wife.
With a heavy sigh, he unwrapped it, revealing a gold bank card and a high-tech smartphone that could be used as a wristband.
The bank card, issued by the Royal Bank, was a key to his vast wealth, enough to purchase a grand castle without a dent in his finances.
Alex had grown weary of the rich, pretentious women in the empire who sought only his fortune and power; their kindness was as fake as their selves.
Merly, once a kind, simple, and frugal girl, radiated love, loyalty, and passion. Her genuine simplicity had once touched his heart, igniting a desire to give her everything.
Once, they were really living happily together, but now, she has changed into someone unrecognizable.
He slid the smart wristband onto his right hand, and the screen flickered to life.
"Congratulations on your first wedding anniversary, Merly," it automatically announced.
"Thank you for remaining loyal to your husband for an entire year. Now, for the moment of truth: your husband is the Supreme Leader of the Empire's military. Don't believe it? Here is the proof."
The wristband was dialling the pre-programmed number automatically.
Alex sighed.
Throughout the year, he had envisioned countless times Merly's joyful and tearful surprise reaction upon discovering that her husband was the Empire's Supreme Commander.
His real identity would cause billions to be jealous and envious of her as his wife.
Divorce was something he clearly didn’t see coming.
Finally, video call connected to a beautiful woman.
"Miss Merly, congratulations..." she began, but stopped abruptly, her eyes widening in shock. "Sir Alex? Shouldn't this call be at midnight, when I offer congratulations to your wife and give her proof of your identity?"
“…”
"I'm already on the way, with many gifts for your wedding anniversary; you won't believe what they've given you," Lavinia, Alex's personal assistant continued excitedly.
“The royal members have bestowed upon you a castle, an aircraft, and a grand mansion in the capital. Our generals have gifted your wife rare jewellery, five-hundred-years-old ginseng and many other precious items."
"Your wife will surely be thrilled," Lavinia joyfully said.
"Are you sure?"
"1000% sure. What woman wouldn't love to be your wife and receive all these lavish presents? I and millions of girls would die happily if we were her," Lavinia exclaimed cheerfully.
"She just divorced me." Alex dropped a bombshell.
Lavinia's face froze for a few shocking seconds. "She divorced you? The first in line to the throne?"
"Yes, because I am poor.”
Lavinia was flabbergasted. "Are you joking, sir? She could try to spend your wealth and would die before seeing the end of it."
"Where are you?"
"Our aircraft is 30 minutes from Blackwood City."
"Alright, pick me up at the divorce’s government agency. I'm done here."
"Sir, what about the gifts and the surprise celebration planned for tonight?"
"Cancel it, return the gifts and tell them I'm divorced!"
"No one will EVER believe it, Sir!" exclaimed Lavinia. "Please stop joking. No one in this world will ever, ever divorce you."
Alex ended it.
The truck jerked to a sudden stop.
The double doors of the truck's box swung open, revealing Jason and his friend.
"Crawl out, sign the papers, and get out of her life forever. You, fucking trash."
“Jason,” Alex walked out from the truck. “You will regret this in your life.”
Jason made a slight move with his head, and his friend grabbed Alex from behind so he could hit Alex’s stomach.
"I tell you, Alex, this is the best thing I've done in my life. I don’t need to pay my debt to you, and my sister even gave me money to do this."
He hit Alex's face and let him fall to the ground. "Come to me anytime you want, but next time, I don’t promise I won't kill you."

Alex looked at the divorce paper.‘Winning is winning, losing is losing.’With a heavy sigh, he signed the paper.He accepted this harsh reality like a true man, burying all his love in the silent grave of agony. He vowed not to return to this place again.“She will regret it painfully, later,” the old officer muttered.“Pardon?”“I heard the commotion you both caused outside. The security came and told me. She wants a divorce because you are poor, right?”Alex nodded.The old woman sighed heavily. “You purposely showed her a smart device on your wrist, and there is a small royal logo on it. You’re not just anybody. But she is too oblivious to what she wants.”“You know about this?” Alex showed the smart device with small royal logo."I'm old enough to recognize a Cinderella story about a royal family revealing themselves a year after marriage. I've waited for it my entire life, but it never happened.”“Some newlywed women who left the marriage department with their husband were gossip

On the roadside, under the scorching sunlight, Alex's hands trembled with rage and irony as he flung the ring."So, Ugor is the real reason for our divorce?"Merly caught the ring; her face briefly showed a hint of guilt before transforming into aggressive arrogance.“So what? We are already divorced. I am free to do anything.”“You are right.” It was really a bitter reality, taste like a sand in Alex’s mouth.“Don’t you know who Ugor really is? He’s just going to play with your heart and body, then discard you. Can’t you find someone better, someone more human than a goat?”“Shut up!” Ugor interjected. “I’m going to marry Merly. If it weren’t for you, I’d have married her six months ago.”Alex ignored him, “Merly, ask yourself deep down, is Ugor the right one for you? He’s only slightly richer than me, just another worker.”He knew her well; they had been husband and wife for a year.“Anyone better than you is fine,” Merly's face flushed with shame, her eyes darting away to avoid the

Ugor and Merly watched in shock as the beautiful woman bowed to the poor Alex."Let's head back," Alex said, fed up with all the drama. He handed the smart wrist device and bank card to Lavinia. "Please return these items later."“Please give me a moment, Sir? It won’t take long,” Livinia sweetly said, taking the items and giving Alex a wink.She approached Ugor and the car owner, who were still engaged in a heated argument, with Merly siding with Ugor.“Excuse me, gentlemen,” Lavinia interjected. “Can you give me a moment? It won’t be long.”She then turned to Merly. “You must be Merly, Alex’s ex-wife.”“And who are you?” Merly looked her suspiciously.“Oh, where are my manners? I am Lavinia, Alex’s personal assistant,” she replied with a graceful tone, her demeanour exuding nobility.The scent of her expensive perfume filled the air.“These two items were supposed to be Alex’s wedding gifts to Mrs. Merly. I personally arranged them under Alex’s instructions. But it seems they were d

Merly burst into the room, her eyes wide with desperation, declaring, “Cancel my divorce this instant!”The woman looked at Merly, her finger already on the enter button. "Oops... I just pushed it."Merly's face turned into a shock; her smart device was still connected to Auna."Oh, I apologize, Mrs. Merly,” Auna suddenly called. “Our system just processing your divorce. As a result, this bank account will be terminated. Have a nice day."The screen suddenly went blank."Why did you put it in the system?" Merly’s anger flaring at the worker.“I had tried to give you 15 minutes before, but you refused it! Go back to Mr. Alexander, ask him to sign the marriage papers again," the woman disdainfully said. “Loser!”In a mixed feeling of fury and loss, Merly walked out.The guard halted Merly with a lewd grin. "He's signed the divorce papers. Do you have time tonight?""Shut up!" Merly snapped, pushing him away angrily.Outside the parking lot, in the burning heat of the sunlight, she found

"What? What did you just say?" The general manager stood up, shock and disbelief evident on his face. No one had ever spoken so boldly in front of him in his entire life."I'll repeat it as many times as you want," Alex said, fed up with everything.“This place, Luster, is not your fucking place."The worker’s face was pale, they were so shocked that they didn’t dare say anything or make even the smallest move.“Explain, you bastard,” Luster demanded, his voice seething with fury his body trembling in anger.“This Total Construction has stockholders; they are the real owners. We are all just workers here, and you, despite being the general manager, are a salary eater like us. Or…”Stepping forward, Alex's eyes blazed with defiance. "Do you believe you're the boss here? Acting arrogantly all this time? Some people snap their fingers then you wouldn't find a job for the rest of your life."“Great... great... Looks like you’ve finally gone crazy,” Luster retorted, scanning the room.“All

"Guys, what are you doing here?" The sudden, sweet call in the tense room was like a melody, instantly turning all heads and calming the stormy air.They all turned toward the source, beholding a vision of goddess beauty with luxury clothes.A woman with her long, wavy hair cascading over her shoulders, her movements radiated grace and elegance. Her smile, warm and inviting, seemed to thaw even the iciest demeanour, carrying with her an autumnal aura."Miss Sophia," Lucas stammered, hastily releasing Alex's collar as everyone, trying to get a good side of Sophia, returned to their chairs.Sophia Deneuve, in her twenties, was the golden apple of the wealthy Deneuve family, the CEO of Deneuve Hotel, and top 3 goddess in the Blackwood City."Hello, guys," Sophia's melodious voice dissolved the tension, her elegant floral perfume lingering, enchanting everyone present."Hi, Miss Sophia," the men responded, their faces lighting up with an almost foolish delight. To them, Sophia was like an

“What’s impossible?” Sophia asked with disbelief."A friendship between a man and a woman will never work out," Alex said, his fingers flying over the keyboard as he finished his last obligation to others."Women will try to use men for free, and men will fight to enter a woman's bed."“And Sophia Deneuve, I’ve gotten too close to understand you. You're just going to use me to fight for your ambition. I'm not interested in that game.”Sophia struck her most charming pose, opening up her shirt slightly and placing one leg in front of Alex, showcasing the perfect curves of her body. “Don’t you think I’m pretty?”“Move away,” Alex pushed her back without a second glance and took a ruler from the table to put in his box. “We both know your charm never work on me.”Alex had grown up in the Royal Castle, surrounded by thousands of beauties trying to sneak into his bed every day.He had become immune to these types of seduction.“Damn, how can my charm never work on you?” Sophia said, frustra

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.

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

Alex leaned back in his chair, boots kicked up on a dusty table.His gaze settled on the wiry youth chained at the center of the courtyard.“Kid,” he said, voice low and steady, “what’s your name?”The youth lifted her chin, eyes flickering with pride despite the bruises on her face.“Scarlett,” she answered, fire behind her words.Alex took a moment, studying every detail of her battered form.Finally, he spoke. “Scarlett, if I gave you the chance to wipe out the Fallen Angel Family—every last one of those bastards—what would you do?”She froze, uncertainty twisting her features. “Why are you asking me that?”Alex shrugged, his tone dripping with disdain. “Because I’m not one of them, and I’m sure as hell not their friend. Especially after they threatened to kill me first.”A dark, cold light flared in Scarlett’s eyes.“If you can really give me that shot at revenge,” she said, “I’ll swear by the graves of my parents. I’ll serve you until I die. Break that promise, and I’ll accept an
