"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.

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

"Victoria," Sophia replied, knowing it's still hard for many people to accept different class marriages."He is a project leader at the company I work for. A good person and also handsome, if that’s what you’re asking."“So it turns out to be true,” Victoria sighed in disbelief.Sophia quickly tried to change the topic. “What made you call?”“My dad can’t see me being happy unemployed forever. He wants me to move to Blackwood City.”“You?” Sophia couldn’t believe what she heard. “You, from a second-tier wealthy family with assets of $1 billion? Why are you moving to this small city?”“I need your help, Sophia Deneuve.”Sophia laughed, “The Deneuves are only a fourth-tier wealthy family with assets of about $100 million. What help could we possibly offer you?”“Even the richest here are only third-tier, with around $500 million in assets. Nobody in Blackwood City can help you, Victoria.”“I have information, but you need to keep it a secret. Can you?” Victoria whispered.“My lips are s

"Sir, I want to report," Lavinia said. "Last night, there are attempts to breach our system and obtain your identity information.""Have you found out who tried to do it?" Alex asked, knowing he has many enemies."It's a group of hackers, and we've already caught them all. They said that the Cavendish family, paid them. What should we do?""Trying to breach into the system and find royal family identity can be charged with spying, and the entire family could be punished.” Alex replied. “But they are my wife’s best friend's family.""Let's give them a second chance for now. If they turn out to be dangerous, we can erase the entire family from the Empire later. Also, try to find out why they want my information.""Yes, sir," Lavinia added, "5 of your collection of cars are already in the Eden Group’s special parking lot; you can use them anytime you want.""Thanks." Alex cut off the communication, thinking about how to entertain his wife's best friend well, to not embarrass his wife.Ho

Grandma Deneuve was walking with Jerry through the mansion's hall to her room. “How is Lionville?” Grandma Deneuve asked. “Did you build a good network there, Jerry?” “Grandma, in the capital city, the rank of the family is everything. Since they know I am only from a fourth-rank family in a relative remote city, none of them want to talk with me. It's so hard to build any connection.” Jerry continued, “That's why, in my opinion, marrying Victoria Cavendish is the fastest way to elevate our family rank.” Inside her room, Grandma Deneuve opened a drawer, and beside the drawer, there was a small secret compartment. When she put her hand there, a small bottle fell out. She handed it to Jerry. "Inside this bottle is a poison. If a woman comes into contact with it, she must make love within 30 minutes, or she will die. Use it on Victoria when you have the chance." Jerry looked at his grandma in shock. “Don’t ask where it came from. It was supposed to be used to get Sophia married to

Yet, Jerry suddenly recalled his grandmother's plan. “Jerry, if possible, don’t administer the poison when it’s just the two of you, because you will be the suspect. Do it when you and Victoria coincidentally meet with that lowly human bastard.” “Later, you can shift all the blame onto him and save Victoria by having a baby with her. Victoria will feel happy for you, and the toilet-fixer will end up in jail.” Victoria returned suddenly, and Jerry hastily slid the poison bottle back into his pants in a panic. He knew he needed to make a good impression on Victoria first, so he would not be blamed if the poison case came to light. Act like a hero, a perfect gentleman, polite both in public and in private. Show her his flawless character. And while letting the villain be smeared, “Victoria,” Jerry said, “apart from meeting you, my family tasked me with another matter.” “What is it?” “It concerns Sophia,” Jerry added. “Have you met her husband?” “Yes,” she replied. “What do you t

The next day, Sophia and Alex strolled to the Plaza Hotel's restaurant, where they had planned to meet Victoria for lunch. Having not seen each other in a long time, both women had plenty of stories to share. Sophia's face lit up as she happily recounted their college days to Alex. However, her smile faltered when they arrived at the VIP section of the restaurant and saw Jerry already seated with Victoria. She was puzzled and a bit distressed—how could Jerry the eldest cousin be here? Despite her mixed feelings toward her family, she knew she had to maintain politeness. As they approached Jerry and Victoria, Sophia took on the role of the introducer. "Alex, this is Jerry Deneuve, my cousin, the first son of Uncle Andrew," she said, trying to ease the tension. “Jerry, this is my husband. Alex.” Alex, attempting to be cordial, extended his hand for a handshake. However, Jerry stayed seated with a disdainful expression, casting a sidelong glance at Alex while leaving his hand hangin

As Victoria watched Sophia's joy fade in the shadow of her cousin's mocking and insults, she felt sympathy for her best friend, who had married a useless man.She wanted to extricate him from Sophia's life but thought it best not to escalate the situation now as Jerry seemed too eager to flip the table at any moment.She finally said with her sweet voice, “Alright, alright, all of us here are friends. Why worry about such things? Let's eat; I'm already hungry.”She glanced at the pitiful waiters caught in the family drama. “Please, could you bring menus for the four of us?”The waiter bowed and hurried away as fast as he could.Jerry seemed ready to continue his tirade, but Victoria gave him a stern look. “Jerry, please don’t continue. Haven’t you heard? A hungry man is an angry man. Let’s eat first.”Victoria didn’t want Jerry to embarrass Sophia or her husband any further.She had heard rumour about Sophia had already turned her back on her family for Alex and didn’t want her to for

After bidding farewell to Ferdinand, Alex, William, and Rudolf boarded their old car back to the Steel Family, each having gained something valuable from their journey.Upon returning, William and Rudolf summoned the entire Steel Family to distribute elixirs for faster growth, while keeping secret from outsider.Alex then settled into his private room to focus on intense practice.That evening, Alex learned from the Alchemist Association’s Carmen Lie that a group of assassins had attempted to steal the Iron plate but were swiftly dealt with by her bodyguards.Alex’s eyebrow twitched, surprised that anyone in Miracle City would dare attempt such a brazen act, and he guessed the assassins must have known the smartphone’s true purpose—serving as a key to many hidden bunkers and locked places in ancient ruins—making such a dangerous risk worthwhile in their eyes.Only the Outlaw could be bold enough for such crimes, leaving Alex certain of their involvement.Regardless of whether it was t

Alex had already fused with a Phantom, though no one knew.His trip wasn’t simply to find an ordinary Beast Genetic, so William’s references were of little use.“I have my own plan,” Alex said with a nod.William and Rudolf exchanged anxious smiles. They kept forgetting that this fifteen-year-old was no ordinary child—he was more like a monster genius, beyond their ability to guide or decide for.The car sped forward, and Alex had William check that no one was trailing them.Once he confirmed they weren’t being followed, Alex finally relaxed.Despite that, a lingering worry remained that someone might be monitoring him—either the Bolton Family or the Outlaw group.Both had immense power, but luckily neither seemed interested in following a teenager this time.By the time they did pay attention, Alex believed he would have already grown too strong for them to handle.Beast Genetic Merchant Hall – VIP RoomUpon revealing their identities at the Beast Genetic Merchant Hall, Alex and his

“Sixty-five million dollars!” Carmen Lie’s voice rang out through the hushed auction hall. Despite the hammering of her own heart, she refused to back down.Alex had given clear orders: whatever the cost, the iron plate must be won—and he would pay.She swallowed hard. Sixty million... Was this battered piece of metal really worth it? What was so special about it that Alex insisted she secure it at all costs?From the raised balcony, Alex studied the cloaked figure down on the main floor.Whoever the man was, he was determined to challenge the Alchemist Association head-on.“Seventy million,” the mystery bidder called. He sounded uncertain but still pressed forward.“Seventy-five million,” Carmen countered immediately.Gasps rippled across the crowd. The price soared higher and higher.Nearby, William and Rudolf stood speechless. They knew Alex needed that plate, but they hadn’t expected the bidding to explode like this.Their minds buzzed: Just how deep are Alex’s pockets? How much

“Grand Elder Rudolf, take this Body Strength Pill. Consume it once you’re home—it’ll do wonders for a Fighter’s physical prowess.”Alex handed Rudolf a small pill, its surface gleaming with faint energy.“Thank you, Alex!” Rudolf’s voice trembled with emotion.He knew how ridiculously expensive Body Strength Pills had become; rumors claimed one could cost over a million dollars.Nearby, William’s eyes shone with envy.He knew as well as anyone that these pills weren’t just for Fighters—Magicians benefited greatly from them, too.“Alex,” William said with a respectful nod, “the Steel Family is your family. Our treasury is your treasury. Take whatever you like from it.” He gestured expansively.In truth, most items left in the Steel Family’s vault were useless to them.He actually hoped Alex would take more. The elixirs Alex had already given were worth more than the entire Steel Family combined.“I’m surprised by your generosity, Patriarch,” Alex said, eyeing William.“It seems I’ve mi

Rudolf took the bottles from Alex and immediately opened one.His eyes went wide the instant he saw the contents: a mix of Mana Refining Pills and Mana Gathering Pills.Though each pill was tiny, their authenticity was unmistakable, and realizing what he held made his heart pound with excitement.He discovered there were a hundred high-rank potions in one of the box—an astonishing number.Typically, only the most influential families had access to such elixirs; finding them on the open market was nearly impossible.Not too long ago, Miracle City’s King Auction House sold only a few high-rank potions.Just one fetched the staggering sum of five hundred thousand dollars.If a single potion could command that price, then hundreds would easily be worth over a ten to hundred million!This enormous figure almost made Rudolf feel faint.No matter how wealthy you were, getting your hands on high-rank potions without special channels was nearly unthinkable.“These pills are pricey right now be

Mateo and Jose joined the bidding war the moment it began, their voices cutting through the din as four prominent families clashed over those coveted pills.The commotion only settled when the price soared to three hundred and twenty thousand dollars—a sum that made the entire room hold its breath.William, rubbing his hands together in a mix of excitement and nerves, sidled up to Alex.“Alex, these are precious Mana Refining Pills,” he said, voice pitched low.“You sure you’re not going to buy? Better you get them than watch those other families snatch them all.”Alex merely shrugged and leaned back in his chair.“Not really interested,” he answered softly.“I’ve picked up quite a few items already. Let the others have some fun bidding—it’s boring if only one person wins every time.”William didn’t know whether to laugh or groan.He was well aware how valuable Mana Refining Pills could be for cultivating the younger generation.But then a thought struck him: these pills came from the

William's and Rudolf's faces turned pale.They were just a small clan; without a noble title, they might never stand among the other clans.Even with their noble status intact, they remained at the bottom of the hierarchy.The two noble clans standing before them could crush the Steel family any time they wanted.Alex stood abruptly, a wide grin splitting his face.“When a man lets his mouth run, the words are like spit—once out, they can’t be taken back. It’s disgusting.”“What do you mean by that?” Mateo demanded, his brows furrowing.“I accept your war cry. Starting tomorrow, let our clans go to war!” Alex declared boldly.William grabbed Alex by the arm, panic etched on his face. “What are you doing? Do you want to get our clan destroyed?”Alex shook his head, his smile sharp. “Why care about two small clans like theirs? We’ll call the Alchemist Association. With their help and a thousand gold and silver ranks fighters, we can flatten their clan. Once they’re out of the way, we’ll

Mateo and Jose scoffed like they had something foul caught in their throats.They couldn’t fathom why the almighty Alchemist Guild would even bother dealing with the Steel Family.They’d sent their own lackeys to snoop around, but came up empty.Now, tension clogged the air inside the private gallery.Rudolf and Alex sat off to the side, enjoying their tea and keeping quiet.This was a clash among heads of noble houses; neither man felt any need to join the bickering—unless it served them.Rudolf leaned in toward Alex.He whispered, “Ramirez and Sanchez have always strutted around like roosters. When the Steel Family was in the gutter, they tried to buy up our land for pocket change.”“We knew who was behind it and refused. Later, during the Bolton crackdown on us, these two vultures swooped in and snatched our trade routes.”At that, Alex narrowed his eyes at Mateo and Jose.Petty spats among small clan heads never interested him.But since these two were Bolton’s lapdogs, they had t

Alex meticulously copied three of his elixir recipes into papers.Each was designed to boost Miracle City’s overall strength, yet he understood the importance of restraint.Introducing them all at once could overwhelm the city’s foundations, causing more harm than good.He had already planned to share these formulas, even without any prompting or persuasion from Carmen Lie.Once he was done, Alex lifted his gaze to meet Carmen’s.“I can only offer three recipes for now,” he said in a level tone.“They’re all highly potent, especially the Cold Resistance Pill. I’m sure you already know how useful that one can be.”Her eyes sparkled with excitement.“Thank you, Alex. You’ve contributed so much to Miracle City. If the King were to hear of this, I’m certain he’d grant you a higher title of nobility!”Alex shook his head, dismissing the idea. “I have no interest in titles or prestige. I only ask that you keep my involvement quiet.”Carmen couldn’t hide her amazement at his maturity; he was
