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

"You're the one who's wrong!" Ugor's intense anger and emotional rage were evident as he defended his innocence, even though it was clearly his fault.Suddenly, the most luxurious car in the world, worth $10 million, appeared behind the $50,000 and $100,000 cars.A tall, stunningly beautiful woman, with long hair and adorned in extravagant attire, emerged from her car.“Dears, can you both move your cars? I need to pass. Please don’t block the way.”Ugor, shocked by the beauty, promptly replied with a lewd expression, "Yes, yes, of course."“Right away.” The other car owner, feeling intimidated by the high-priced car’s aura, also moved his car to the parking lot to clear the way."Thank you," the woman replied, then drove her luxury car into the parking lot, eliciting awe from a crowd of onlookers.She got out of her car elegantly, walked towards Alex, and bowing deeply. “Lord Alex, your faithful personal assistant, Livinia, at your service.”Ugor and Merly watched in shock as the beau

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

As evening settled over the sprawling marble halls, Alex finally returned to the King’s Mansion.He wasted no time retreating to his chambers to resume his cultivation, determined to push his abilities to greater heights.Meanwhile, Cassandra moved into a small estate she could call her own.Ethan, Carlos, and the others who had come with Alex returned to their families, each heading toward a separate corner of the land.Ethan’s journey took him through winding dirt roads to a worn-down village on the outskirts of civilization.Three hundred people lived there, all of them kin under the name Ainsworth.The setting sun cast deep shadows over the rickety wooden huts and humble farmland. Despite the poverty and simple surroundings, warmth filled the air as villagers recognized Ethan and beamed at his arrival.“Ethan’s back!”A chorus of greetings rippled through the crowd. Children, their cheeks smeared with dirt, chased one another around him, while the older folks gazed on proudly.Eth

Bernard’s mind flashed back to Howard’s cold, predatory gaze.The memory alone sent a chill coursing through his veins.In a desperate attempt to fight back, he snarled, “I’ll risk everything!” and summoned his Genetic Beast.His body began to shift, but before the transformation could complete, bang!Ethan’s fist plowed into Bernard’s abdomen.The impact drove all air from Bernard’s lungs; he clutched his stomach and retched so violently he thought his guts might spill out.Despite holding a high position in the Bolton Family, Bernard’s real strength was never in combat.He had only just reached Silver rank, serving as an elder who managed various affairs.One direct punch already left Bernard sprawled on the ground, his body trembling.In the blink of an eye, every one of Bernard’s men lay unconscious or groaning, completely overwhelmed.A sleek metal figure—Siri, the strange robot—strode over to Alex’s side.Its involvement had been pivotal: it single-handedly subdued three Gold ra

“You’re really forging something so powerful?” Siri asked, his voice taut with awe.Alex set down his tools and nodded. “I’m planning to seal your data inside this robot.”He tapped the sturdy, glinting metal hell—material he had specially engineered using remnants of nano-weapon technology.Even Legend-rank Magicians would struggle to damage something this resilient.On top of that, Siri himself had a data of a Legend-rank Magician in life; his technique, even sealed in a mechanical body, would be formidable.“Legend-rank,” Siri murmured. “This could turn out to be… extraordinary.”Alex nodded.A Legend-rank robot is almost unheard of. It existed in theory before the Age of Darkness, but no one truly succeeded in creating many of them.”When the process was complete and Siri’s data had been transferred, the newly awakened robot moved its limbs experimentally, performing a few martial arts maneuvers.Alex watched with a satisfied grin.“How does it feel?” he asked.Siri flexed one rob

Cassandra’s voice trembling, “Alex, what exactly is this ‘Nano Weapon’?”She could barely finish the question before she felt a sudden pressure ripple through her mana.A wild surge of energy roared within her, and her mana—normally a controlled flow—poured through her veins at a blistering pace.In the next breath, Cassandra’s mana blazed, and she felt her power skyrocket.Boom!A powerful breakthrough overtook her body and mind.She soared straight into the realm of a 5-star Silver-rank Magician, just one small step away from Gold rank.In fact, she could have outdueled many 1-star or even 2-star Gold-rank Magicians without much difficulty.Observing her sudden leap in power, Alex smiled softly.He took a small crystal sphere—the Beast Genetic Ball—and placed it in her hands. “Here,” he said, “integrate this.”Cassandra peered curiously into the swirling lights within the orb. “What is it?”“A Mutant Eagle, with a God-level growth rate,” Alex explained.She hesitated, overwhelmed by

Alex stood by flipping through the last digital tome and sighed.Once touted as “elite cultivation techniques,” these books now seemed hopelessly outdated.“Are you kidding me with these?” Alex muttered, setting the last manual aside. “Siri, you actually depended on this stuff back in your day?”Siri’s holographic figure bristled with indignation. Its simulated eyes narrowed as it replied,“I am programmed with the knowledge of the greatest man of my era—the ancestral founder of this city.”Alex broke into a loud, mocking laugh.“That explains why no one here on Miracle City ever advanced beyond Legend rank. You’re using the same info as someone who couldn’t break past that level.”“Mind your tongue!” Siri snapped, voice crackling. “There is no realm beyond Legend.”“You have no idea how small your world is,” Alex said, still grinning. “I’ve seen countless places outside Miracle City. Trust me, there’s so much more to learn out there.”Siri’s hologram scowled, its once-proud expressio

“Are you sure Alex will be all right?” Ethan asked, watching Alex’s silhouette disappear through the gate.A hint of worry crept into his voice—nobody really knew much about this strange “Chosen Zone,” and that made him anxious.Carlos clapped Ethan on the shoulder with a reassuring grin.“Relax, man. When has anything ever been too tough for Alex? If you’ve got time to worry, channel it into merging with that mutant Leopard Gene you scored. I can’t wait to see what kind of power you’ll unleash!”He tapped the small, glimmering orb in his hand, where the Beast Gene was stored.Nearby, several other students—realizing there was no point in fretting—found quiet spots on the ground and sat cross-legged.They closed their eyes in silent concentration, trying to synchronize with their newly acquired Beast Genes.They had long since learned that every idle moment was a missed chance to grow stronger.Watching them, Vice Dean Roberto felt a surge of pride.These students weren’t the pampered

“You can try me!” Sofie challenged, planting her hands on her hips as she let out two sharp snorts.She was already showing remarkable restraint by not pummeling Alex over the day’s events.“Fine,” Alex conceded, backing toward the doorway with a wary glance at her. “I’ll head out for now. But I’ll be back tomorrow.”“If you dare show your face tomorrow,” Sofie shot back, marching up to him, “we’ll see what I do to you!”She gave him a forceful shove outside and stood framed in the doorway, lips pouting, hands firmly on her hips.Alex offered a half-grin and asked in mock seriousness, “Well, then what if I come back the day after tomorrow?”Her only answer was a loud bang as she slammed the heavy yard door in his face.From the other side of the door, Alex called, “Then I’ll come back the day after tomorrow!”Far from disheartened, he clasped his hands behind his back and set off down the road, humming a carefree tune.Inside the yard, Sofie glared at the shut door, stomping her foot

If Alex detonated that bomb, both he and Arthur would suffer wounds—perhaps even death.Arthur could see the terrible resolve in the young man’s eyes.He sensed that cornering a desperate foe would be unwise.Between them stood Sofie, frozen in place, reluctant to abandon either side.Arthur’s voice rumbled in cold contempt. “One year? You truly think you can defeat a Black Gold–level Magician in just one year?”Alex sneered in defiance. “You want to test me? Fine. Give me a year, and I’ll flatten you under my heel.”Arthur narrowed his eyes. “Very well. If you manage to overcome me within a year, I’ll forget today ever happened.”His hard stare shifted to Sofie, though for an instant, a faint softness flickered in his gaze.“Sofie if you fail to reach Gold rank yourself within that time, you’re not allowed to see him again.”With that, he turned on his heel and strode away. “Don’t forget my words.”Alex promptly disarmed the bomb and tucked it away in his dimensional ring.A strangle

Alex knew all too well how dangerous King Arthur Goldenhart could be.In his past life, he’d never dealt with Sofie’s father directly, but he’d heard the rumors—a stern, cold-hearted ruler whose personality veered toward the eccentric.If the King caught Alex in his daughter’s chambers without so much as a shirt to his name, there was no telling what the man might do.A flicker of panic replaced the calm Alex usually prided himself on.He hastily pulled on a pair of trousers, summoned his Phantom companion, and invoked his void-form ability.He had to leave immediately—any delay could cost him his life.After all, King Arthur was a Black Gold–rank Magician, only a hair’s breadth from the legendary rank that few ever achieved.Outside in the courtyard, King Arthur strode in with the regal bearing of a man who had spent a lifetime commanding armies.Sofie—trembling at her father’s sudden appearance—tried to steady her nerves.The King’s visits were infrequent and unpredictable, and she’
