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

    The chill of the sharp wind was nothing compared to the cold stare Alex received from the old man in front of him, his father-in-law.Telling the truth he only needed two seconds to break the old man's bones, and what he thought was his greatest block.But was it morally right to hit your own father-in-law?"Father-in-law, why do you want that man to be your son-in-law? Am I not good enough?"Tommy chuckled. "Alex, you really are thick-skinned, aren’t you? Do you know who that man is? He is James Wellington, the first rank family with total assets of 10 billion dollars.""Even we Deneuves only have about 100 million dollars," Tommy mocked Alex. "Can you imagine what will happen to Sophia if she marries into a first-class family? Everyone will be happy, including her mother and me.""Father-in-law," Alex gazed at him seriously, his eyes filled with determination."I may not come from a first-rank family, but I am from an S-rank family—a royal family.

    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. She’d let him slip through her fingers

    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—

    Alex and Scarlett left the ruined town behind, acting as if nothing had happened.Still, Scarlett felt the unease rolling off Alex, and she finally broke the silence.“Master, what’s on your mind?” she asked softly.Alex gazed at the dark, star-filled sky. “That old man we met... he’s no ordinary person. Strong. Possibly stronger than most of the fifteen great families. Makes me wonder how many more powerhouses are hiding on this planet.”Scarlett nodded. She’d sensed the man’s terrible strength, but she’d had no clue just how dangerous he was.Alex clenched his fists.He’d assumed the ancient teleportation array here led to treasure—a secret so valuable the Outlaws would fight like mad to control it.Now he realized it was more curse than fortune. If these people learned about Earth through that gateway, they’d invade and destroy everything.Alex resolved that once he got out, he’d seal the path for good—at least until he reached Black Gold rank.Until then, this forsaken planet wasn

    Alex stepped forward, “You’re lucky I’m in a good mood.”“I have Body-Strength Pills—rare enough that a few could transform a weakling into a powerhouse. Two bottles of mine for one of high-rank potions.”The youth named Hebo had eyes that gleamed with greed. “Body-Strengthening Pills? Impressive. But I’ll only trade three bottles for one.”A flicker of annoyance crossed Alex’s face.“Fine. Three bottles for one. Let’s get this over with.”Despite his outward reluctance, he was itching to get his hands on a certain flying knife set displayed behind Hebo.He pulled out fifty high-rank potions and ninety Body-Strength Pills, handing them over with exaggerated reluctance.Hebo, practically drooling with delight, shoved five slender blades into Alex’s waiting hand. “A pleasure doing business. Use them wisely.”Alex nodded once and tucked the gleaming knives into his interspatial ring.Hebo barely hid his elation.He figured he’d swindled some clueless alchemist, believing the deal would s

    Alex slammed two big bottles of Mana Gathering Pills onto the rickety metal table.“That’s two hundred pills inside,” he snapped at the skinny middle-aged merchant.The man’s jaw hung in disbelief.Even in this desolate era—where ancient tech and battered enclaves stood side by side—a handful of Mana Gathering Pills could decide life or death.Two hundred of them would fuel an entire force of five-star Silver and Gold ranks, boosting their chances to break through to the next level.He never imagined Alex would drop that many pills without a second thought.Alex snatched up the Black Flame Sword, then tossed it to Scarlett. “Try not to burn yourself,” he said dryly.Scarlett, tall and fierce with a restless glint in her eyes, caught the blade.Her draconic bloodline let her handle fire.Still, she looked stunned that he would gift her such a treasure. Then gratitude flickered across her face.She bowed her head in thanks.Alex noted her reaction and felt even more certain he hadn’t ma

    A howling wind tore through the treetops, swirling leaves in every direction.Alex couldn’t believe that, in the middle of this beast-infested mountain range, such a bustling city could exist.It sprawled for miles, with towering iron buildings and even a fortified defense post.Most folks wore ragged clothes and huddled behind makeshift stalls, hawking every sort of junk and treasure.Their voices tangled in the air, a constant roar of bargaining.Despite the high-tech gear and the bristling air of a post-apocalyptic world, life here looked grim.People were scrawny, hollow-eyed, and half-starved—but heavily armed from head to toe.Scarlett had filled Alex in on the sad truth: food was scarce, and even the wealthiest among the “fifteen families” barely managed to fill their bellies.Ordinary villagers fared worse.Most Mutant Beasts reeked of rot and bile—too toxic to stomach, let alone eat.Only a rare few were edible, but they’d nearly been hunted out of existence.Foraged berries,

    Scarlett’s eyes blazed with sudden resolve. She seized one of the Gold-rank fighter’s swords, yanked it free, and hammered her fist square into his gut.“Boom!”Power erupted from that single blow, sending shockwaves in every direction.The Gold-rank fighter’s face twisted in agony as he hurtled hundreds of meters away, crashing to the ground like a broken rag doll.Anyone could see he wasn’t getting back up.That harmless little rabbit Joe once mocked had turned into a raging tigress with teeth bared.And Alex was somehow at the heart of it all.Joe glared daggers at Alex. “Kane, what’s the meaning of this?”Alex shrugged, wearing a fake look of fear. “Ask her. Scarlett wants payback on you guys. Me? I’m just a helpless nobody. Please, save me—she’s going to kill me too.”Fury flashed in Joe’s eyes.He drew his huge sword, sensing Scarlett’s terrifying power.Three more Gold-rank fighters attacked her in a frantic storm of steel and magic, but Scarlett shrugged off their blows like t

    Alex stared down Yosua with unwavering eyes.“Fine. If you insist, I’ll cure you first. After that, I’ll do whatever you says—if you’re not ashamed to make me marry your daughter.”Yosua’s lips twitched into a grin.“Good. That’s more like it. I’ll also send extra help for your mission to return to your home planet and bring back the elixir I need. I need to keep you safe.”Alex arched an eyebrow. “I’m curious, old man. What sort of backup do you plan to send?”“In my domain,” Yosua said proudly.“I’m the only Legend rank. We have three Black Gold elders, but they’re tied down with their obligations. Outside these walls, I’m not as confident, so I’m assigning eight Gold ranks to escort you. That should keep you safe.”Alex laughed. “You overestimate the dangers out there. Three Gold ranks would be plenty.”“I can’t take any chances,” Yosua insisted, shaking his head. “Six Gold ranks, then. That’s final.”“All right,” Alex said after a moment’s thought, “but I have one condition.”“Nam
