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.

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...

"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.

“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

“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

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

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
