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

    In the hushed VIP lounge, Sophia's hands shook as she took the gleaming, unfamiliar golden card from Alex, a man she thought she knew.When she was on the capital city, a few first-ranked family guys had tried to date her, each flaunting their own golden cards.She examined the card carefully, noting it was slightly different from those of her acquaintances."Victoria," Sophia called out hastily, "check this golden card, I think it might be fake, right? I never seen this one."Sophia handed the card to Victoria, as she inspected the card, flipping it several times, then sighed, "I think it's real, though it's different from the usual first-class family cards. I believe this golden card is only used by the very top of the first-class families. It's made of an old gold and has a floral pattern signifying a link to the Royal family. Not all first-rank families have access to this."Sophia looked suspiciously at Alex’s calm face. "Don't tell me it’s yours."Victoria and Jerry were already

    In the VIP dining area, Alex wanted to confess everything to Sophia, but hesitated since Victoria was also present. Aware that the Cavendish family had attempted to steal his information for unknown reason, Alex thought it wiser to keep his identity a secret for the time being. The more people knew who he was, the greater the danger to those around him. As a Military Supreme Leaders, Alex had numerous enemies, especially from other kingdoms who might exploit this information to kill him and threaten his loved ones. Especially, Sophia was now trying to build her independence from her family and wanted to achieve success to prove herself to them. She required more time for herself. Alex didn't want to disrupt Sophia's chosen path in life. "Do you remember the war between the Archelion Empire and the Drakonia Federation two years ago?" Alex began. Sophia nodded. Victoria held her breath as she listened to Alex in fright. "I was a soldier then, and through a stroke of luck, I sav

    Inside the luxury penthouse of the Plaza Hotel, Sophia and Victoria were having fun in the pool while chatting for hours in a joyful mood. Alex was in the living room. Working with his device and, at the same time, controling himself. Victoria and Sophia, the two goddesses, in bikinis were a sight no normal healthy guy could ignore after the first glance, so to stop degrading himself in front of Sophia, he chose to stay in the living room, far enough away from them. As usual, Alex was working on military tasks, receiving information about the political conditions of countries on the border. Since this was his real job, he needed to manage it without any mistakes. Only after that would he check and inspect the plans for Blackwood’s project—a minor project for him. "Alex," Sophia called from the poolside, "since Victoria is here, we're having our small university reunion tomorrow night with others. Will you join us?" "Do I have choice?" Alex replied. "Unfortunately, no," Sophia g

    As the sun rose at Blackwood Mall, the largest and most luxurious shopping center, the gleaming chrome of a $10 million car glided smoothly into the entrance, announcing its arrival with the quiet hum of luxury.All eyes were drawn to the car because it was a limited edition and the newest model in the entire empire.Sophia Deneuve stepped out, her presence like a melody that quieted the surrounding noise, one of the most stunning figures in Blackwood city.Instantly, all eyes locked onto her.As the passenger door opened, another equally beautiful figure emerged—Victoria Cavendish. Her attire alone signified her belonging to a high-ranking family.Both women attracted attention effortlessly, but when the third person appeared from inside, the crowd was taken aback.Alex in a faded, cheap shirt, simple jeans, and worn shoes stepped out.The crowd quickly dismissed him from their minds and returned their focus to the two beauties.Wherever the two women strolled in the mall, men, espec

    Inside the cold temperature of Royal Jewel Co., everyone seemed frozen.Arisa's face turned pale, and the supervisor, usually vibrant and commanding, seemed to shrink, her eyes darting around in search of an escape.The customers in the store were stunned into silence, all except for the manager, who was visibly panicked."Why are all of you still standing around like dolls? The General Manager will arrive in five minutes. Please, guide the customers out now," he instructed in urgency."Do you want to be fired?"Suddenly, the shop attendants sprang into action, bowing politely."Honorable customers, it seems there is an emergency and an important matter to address. We are sorry, but we cannot serve you at this moment."Alex stood still, seemingly indifferent to the chaos around him, continuing to look at the jewelry as the manager bowed deeply before him, acting as his personal attendant.Some customers' faces had turned pale; some hastily exited, while the smarter ones approached Ale

    Inside the Royal Jewel Co., Victoria stood in shock, two days at Blackwood had rattled her more than a year in the capital had.She gazed at the row of jewelry outside the display, with prices ranging from one million to five million dollars, while the most expensive piece was tagged at $9,999,999.When she overheard Alex ask, ‘Sophia, do you want to take everything here?’Unable to hold her silence, she blurted out, “Alex, you may have saved a royal family, but there are limits of everything. Don't squander recklessly.”Sophia was looking at Alex, wanted to say something, but before she could, Alex has said, “Sophia, I am just a poor man, without anything…”The General Manager, Ivan, twitched a bit listening to that bullshit, but he didn’t dare say anything.Alex continued, “When I see other husbands with the means to buy their lovely wives jewelry, I feel so saddened that I cannot buy you any jewelry to wear.”“With my hardships and risking my life in war, I saved the royal member a

A cunning voice in his mind reminded him that he had already bent the knee to the Outlaw.If Miracle City fell, he and the Bolton Family would vanish into that rumored Planet.Whether the Planet truly existed no longer mattered; he was out of choices.From atop the ramparts, Lancelot turned to Alex, his voice edged with desperation.“They’re about to bury us under those stones! What do we do?”Alex’s eyes hardened.“We’ll fight back with the giant crossbows. How many can reach five thousand meters?”“A fair number,” Lancelot replied, “but they’re only strong enough to wound smaller beasts.

    “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.

    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.
