“Father, how’s the situation within the family?” Alex asked, trying to change the mood.

He knew his father still feared the Patriarch and her younger brother—not for himself, but because they could harm his mother and him.

“Very strange,” Max said, eagerly welcoming the topic shift.

“Strange?” Alex felt a flicker of curiosity.

Max nodded. “Yeah. First, the king suddenly gave back nobility to the Steel family without any reason. At first, we thought it was good news. But it turned out otherwise.”

Alex’s brows furrowed as Max continued.

“The Bolton family canceled all business contracts with us, delivering a heavy blow to our trade. They even convinced many of our business partners to cut ties with us, leaving the whole family anxious.”

“You know we’re farmers and herb gatherers—they're our biggest buyers. Without them, no one will buy our products. And our family will be destroyed.”

“Our Patriarch even sent a personal letter with some gift to the Bolton family to politely ask for an ex

    In his past life, Alex had reached heights beyond legend—a realm where the legendary rank was nothing more than the first step into true martial mastery.For most, advancing from Bronze to Silver rank felt like trekking through uncharted lands riddled with danger.But for Alex, it was as effortless as a casual walk through a garden.With the right elixir and mana force, he could achieve the legend rank and beyond, without any problem.After practicing for about half day, Alex finally reached the Silver rank and noticed the machine before him was fully activated after self-repaired and now ready to use.Alex knew this machine well from his past life.Some cities had these, but using one came at an astronomical price—around ten million dollars per session.Yet here it was, fully his—a priceless money-making device.He pulled out all the beast cores he had collected and purchased from the market.Carefully, he placed them into the machine, letting it scan and record their DNA.A screen l

    After his harrowing encounters in the old shelter with the outlaw, and later during the ambush at the market, Alex couldn't shake the memory of that stranger's voice. It echoed in his mind, etched as deeply as if carved in stone.Thankfully, their attackers were only Silver ranks—there were no Gold rank experts among them.Yet these four Silver ranks posed a serious threat: one of them was 5-star, flanked by two 3-star fighters and a 1-star.Alex’s expression darkened. Facing a single 3-star would’ve been manageable through stealth, but four?With a 5-star on top of that? Charging in head-on would be suicide.He clenched his jaw, realizing what it meant if these Outlaws made it to his home.Fingers tightening around his knife, Alex canceled his sneak attack and rushed back toward the cave.“Naira, hurry!” he said, voice low but urgent. “Find the adults. Tell them Outlaw members are in the forest!”Naira’s eyes went wide at the name Outlaw. Even a child knew about their vicious reputat

    A sudden glint cut across Alex’s eyes as he burst from the shadows, blade raised high.He’d been crouched behind Second for a good while, waiting in the phantom-like form.Only five or six yards separated them.The instant he sprang into view, Second and the outlaw leader—known simply as the First—flinched in shock.“Who goes there?!”They couldn’t believe someone had gotten so close without them noticing.But Alex didn’t waste a moment.Narrowing his eyes, he slashed for Second’s neck with deadly speed.Second’s body flared with a burst of light, and he raised both arm guards, hoping to deflect the blow.In the same breath, he kicked out at Alex.Seasoned as he was—a Silver-rank fighter with battles under his belt—Second’s response was quick.But Alex wasn’t just anyone.He slid past the kick, blocked it with ease, and carved his ancient blade clean across Second’s throat.That relic blade—taken from refuge ruin—was nothing to scoff at.Razor-sharp and infused with mana, it sliced th

    Caesar didn’t hold back this time.He remembered all too well how his half-hearted hit had only broken his own bones before and had to lose a precious healing potion to heal it.Now, he was done playing. He released the full fury of his silver-rank power.Rudolf’s eyes went wide. He knew Alex was only first bronze rank—hardly a match for a silver rank.If that punch landed, Alex might die on the spot.But it was too late. Caesar’s fist slammed into Alex’s chest, launching him backward until he crashed against a tree with a sickening crack.Rudolf rushed over, heart pounding. He didn’t like Alex much, but killing him was another matter.“What the hell are you doing, Caesar?”He knelt beside Alex, trembling fingers pressed against the man’s neck. Nothing. No pulse.“He’s dead,” Rudolf said, voice hollow.“What?” Caesar’s face drained of color. Last time he’d hit Alex, the man’s body had felt like iron.Now, it felt like nothing—yet this time, Alex was gone. Caesar dropped to his knees,

    As they made their way home, tears streamed down Max’s face, and his shoulders shook with every sob.Alex needed only a glance to grasp the reason for his father’s anguish.In his previous life, Max had sacrificed everything to give Alex a safe place to grow up.He had swallowed his pride—kneeling, begging, and pleading for compassion from their family.Yet time after time, they turned on him, betraying him without remorse.Before, Alex had even pretended to die so that Max would see the bitter truth: no one in that family cared for either of them. All they saw was a kind man ripe for exploitation.They only saw Max’s kindness as a weakness to exploit.The Steel family was filled with hyenas, too spineless to confront any true threat, so they sank their claws into their own.Cowards, the lot of them.Not long ago, Alex had used a secret technique that slowed his heartbeat and breathing until they were nearly imperceptible.In one fluid motion, he struck a pressure point near Max’s nec

    Bruno wasted no time, striking while the iron was still blazing hot.“Patriarch, it’s indisputable that Alex has offended the Bolton Family. For all we know, they might come looking for payback,” he muttered darkly, his face pinched with worry.“We should just deal with him now.”“Ha! That’s rich,” Alex scoffed, his mocking laughter booming through the hall and making every head turn.“Tell me, Vice Head, which family do you actually serve? The Steel Family or Bolton? Because from where I stand, you’re acting like a trembling pup, ready to sell out your own blood just to please some outsiders,” he sneered, his voice cutting like a blade.“Impudent brat!” Bruno spat, fists clenched in anger. “How dare you address me like that? Are you so clueless about our rules? I’m only enforcing them!”Elder Rudolf cleared his throat, speaking firmly yet calmly. “Patriarch, we all know Alex isn’t the sort to stir up trouble for kicks. If he clashed with the Bolton Family, maybe they provoked him fir

    Bruno’s face went crimson, his voice cracking like a whip.“Patriarch, this brat isn’t just a curse on the family—he’s a damn liar, too! I say we punish him immediately. And you, Max—what have you been stuffing into this kid’s mouth? Trying to wipe out your own bloodline?”Max, desperate to spare Alex from Bruno’s wrath, dropped to his knees in front of the Patriarch.“Please, Patriarch, have mercy. Alex is young—he has no clue what kind of trouble he’s stirring up. Punish me instead if you must!”“Father, get up!” Alex snapped, striding over and tugging at Max’s arm. A deep frown carved its way across his brow. “You don’t need to bend your knee to anyone!”Max turned on his son, stern as a rattlesnake coiling to strike. “Alex, you’ve really stepped in it this time, and you won’t even admit it! If you’d just own up, maybe we could ask for a little grace. But you’d rather throw down with the Patriarch? You’re digging us all a deeper grave!”Alex’s chest felt like a vice was squeezing i

    Carmen lay still, her gaze distant as Alex moved, each of his steps echoing in the tense silence.Two of her six bodyguards peeled away from the group, stepping forward with an air of absolute authority.The power they radiated—both of them at the formidable Gold Rank—pressed down like an invisible weight, making everyone in the hall gasp for breath.“Director,” one of the guards said, his voice cutting through the hush, “why don’t we just deal with them now? The two of us could crush this clan in an instant.”Their combined aura swelled, and the air grew unbearably thick.Every person present felt it claw at their chests. William, who was only at the level of a First-Tank Gold Rank, stood paralyzed.Against two Three-Star Gold Ranks, there was no chance of victory—no chance at survival—if they chose to act.Unflinching, Alex advanced toward Max—his father—who looked as though his spine might snap beneath so much tension.“Father,” Alex said quietly, voice edged with resentment, “they

    “Not good,” he admitted. “I need to refine this Mana.”He dropped into a cross-legged stance.With a deep breath, he guided the chaotic force through his mana core, determined to regain strength for the battle ahead.Cassandra took position at his side.Below them, the city wall swarmed with Silver and Gold rank Mutant Beasts. Warriors from various families fought hard, their ranks rotating in desperate waves.Sofie danced along the ramparts, her Snow Angel Beast genetic ability whipping up a small storm around her.Icicles streaked toward three charging Gold rank Mutants.Each impact barely slowed the beasts.

    All the patriarchs acknowledged Alex’s success in silence.He had slain the charging beasts without drawing a single blade or shedding a drop of soldier’s blood.His strategy spared Miracle City heavy losses and proved beyond dispute how valuable he was.Arthur and Lancelot shared a glance.Lancelot had voiced his support for Alex in front of everyone, ensuring the young man’s deeds would never be forgotten.Arthur peered out at the endless horde of mutant beasts.The city had lived under siege for as long as he could remember, always on the brink of destruction.If Alex could truly safeguard it, then offering Sofie’s hand to him was a small price.Sofie as queen, with Alex at her side, might be their best hope.Still, Arthur thought of Camelot.The lone figure stood on a distant tower, clad in armor, shoulders rigid as stone.Arthur wished Camelot could accept the reality unfolding around him.Camelot’s talent was decent, but he couldn’t match Sofie or Alex. He had yet to contribute

    Cassandra and Sofie stood beside Alex, gripping the wall-mounted laser gun aimed at the towering beast and holding their silence.Sofie cast a glance at Arthur, who stood at a distance.As the King’s daughter, she refused to be outdone, especially when facing a horde of Mutant Beasts.This battle was a matter of Goldenhart pride. Miracle City was counting on them to stand firm.Cassandra kept her eyes on Alex’s back.She had already faced death once on the planet; now if the Mutant Beasts overwhelmed Miracle City, she would die alongside Alex without regret.She had long believed she belonged only to him.Alex stared into the distance.The first wave of Mutant Beasts had reached the city’s initial defenses.Their pace slowed at the sloping terrain but quickly resumed as they moved into the cratered zone.The moment they stepped into those pits, jets of viscous liquid poured from hidden holes.Alex detonated the bombs planted below the surface.Flames erupted where the fire met the liq

    Every Mutant Beast horde is a nightmare. All of Miracle City stands on high alert.King’s Mansion HallExperts from every family have been dispatched to different parts of the city, but the Bolton Family stands isolated, left with no assignment.Arthur and Howard lock eyes, a dangerous gleam passing between them.Howard the old fox smirks at Arthur. “I never expected a Mutant Beast horde to threaten Miracle City. But since my Bolton Family is part of this city, we’ll do our duty. King, how do you plan to use us?”Arthur narrows his gaze at Howard. “Your Bolton experts will guard the southern walls. But you, Brother Howard, will come north with me.”He won’t let Howard out of his sight. In a crisis like this, Arthur has no desire to let his enemy roam free.Howard’s grin widens, though his eyes remain cold. “As you wish, King.”Arthur nods. “Then let’s move out.”“As you command.”Northern WallsAlex, Ethan, Carlos, and the others arrive first.The northern walls will meet the first bl

    They had to figure out how to snuff out the Bolton Family and the Outlaw’s secret division.Otherwise, these enemies would rot Miracle City from the inside out.Alex took a moment to think, then said, “We’ll summon the experts from every family to the King’s Mansion under my father-in-law’s authority. We’ll spread the rumor that a massive Mutant Beast horde is about to strike.”“Once everyone’s gathered, uncle Lancelot can lock them down with the Thousand Beast Array and the support of the other families.”“I don’t care how sly the Boltons are—they won’t slip away. While they’re busy in the banquet hall, Father-in-law can lead a strike team to smoke out the Outlaw’s division, then send another force to demolish the Boltons’ estate when it’s undefended.”Arthur gave a curt nod. “That’s bold. But we need to plan every detail before we make a move.”Alex caught a spark in Arthur’s eyes.He knew the King already had something brewing in his mind. The three of them talked late into the nig

    Arthur cleared his throat, the sound harsh in the silent hall.He clutched the Emerald Crystals as if they were burning coals. Sofie, his daughter, watched him like a hawk.If he accepted the crystals, it meant he was basically announcing Alex as his future son-in-law—and that thought twisted a knot in his stomach.“Relax, Father-in-law,” Alex said, bold as brass.He even patted Arthur on the back.“We’re family now. No need to stand on ceremony.”Sofie’s face turned the color of fire. She glared at Alex, her anger crackling in the air.She could hardly believe his guts.Her father had once sworn to strangle this man if they ever crossed paths again. Now Alex was calling him Father-in-law like they’d shared a dozen holidays together.It made no sense.Lancelot—second only to Arthur and Clark in the Goldenhart Family—had no such qualms.He grabbed the Emerald Crystals and slid them into his pocket, a smug grin splitting his face.Apparently, Alex had impressed him enough to earn that a

    Carlos scowled and threw up his hands. “What the hell is that old man raving about? I can’t understand a word he’s saying.”Alex stood tense, palms clammy.“No clue,” he muttered.A chill crawled down his spine. Something felt off. This old man had already showed up once before—was he here to kill them?The old man stalked past them, cackling in a wild, broken way.Tears streamed from his wrinkled eyes as he cried, “The time is here! The Savior and the Chosen One have slaughtered the creator of darkness—why haven’t you joined them? Why?!”He paused, fixing his murky gaze on Alex.That look made Alex’s blood run cold.Had the old man figured something out? Alex braced himself, ready to fight if need be.But then, the old man burst into a fresh fit of laughter and wandered away, vanishing into the darkness as though his mind had snapped.Relieved, Alex exhaled.“He must be mad,” he said, shuddering at the memory of that hollow laughter.It was the second time the old man had appeared, b

    Windy left five Gold-rank miners dead in the dust, her hands soaked in crimson.She struck with the ferocity of a cornered tigress, and Alex, halfway turned to leave, decided he couldn’t just walk away.He watched her with cold eyes from a broken tree branch, fists tightening at his sides.Enough blood had been spilled. It was time someone stopped her.“Miss Windy,” Alex called out, his voice slicing through the thick air like a whip crack.A twisted grin tugged at his lips. “Been a while, huh?”She glared. “You again. I figured you’d run off somewhere safer. Guess you were the rat stirring up trouble all along.”Alex shrugged lazily.“I know you’re busy slaughtering folks, so I won’t slow you down. See you around.”Then he vaulted from the branch, hit the ground running, and darted into the woods.Windy bared her teeth at his retreating form, then glanced back at the beaten-down miners.She spat, then bolted after Alex, fury driving every step.

    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—
