An almost suffocating silence slammed over the banquet hall.

Richard stood there like some oblivious fool, that tacky grin of his stuck to his face as if someone’d nailed it on.

You could practically taste the chill in the air. And the culprit? Scarlet.

Sure, she was decked out in finery that screamed “pretty little princess,” but her voice cut through the room like she was the queen of all creation.

Everyone who’d been snickering at her before got real quiet real quick. The girl could scare the fangs right off a viper.

People whispered to each other, “Hell, that tigress never changed. Whoever’s stupid enough to marry her is signing his own damn obituary.”

Clearly, no one felt brave enough to breathe a word too loudly.

Camelot cleared his throat, trying to play the peacemaker. “Alright, enough with that,” he said.

It was a weak attempt at smoothing things over, and Richard, who was still trying to salvage his pride, just let out a strained chuckle.

Then Scarlet fixed Richard with a st

    Talk about lighting a match.The younger crowd started whispering, eyeballing Alex from head to toe.Some pointed out he was underdressed, looking more like a ragged farmhand than a star of Miracle City.But a whole lot of them were more interested in the two stunning girls on his arms—Cassandra and Sofie, both so dazzling they made half the room sink into self-loathing.Scarlet Hunt, meanwhile, puffed her chest and clung to her own brand of haughty pride, refusing to look second-best.Still, her cheeks turned an interesting shade of pink when her gaze landed on Alex’s face.Most of the men in the room were seeing green: Alex strolling in with two of the city’s favorite beauties, plus rumors that the Hunt heiress was also staking her claim on him.They looked ready to smash their heads against the nearest wall. Is this what it means to be a genius? How had they wasted all that time not training?Scarlet walked right up to him, her dress swishing regally. “Alex,” she said, voice trembl

    “Are you actually joking right now?” Richard spluttered, shrinking back like a terrified puppy when Alex’s icy stare skewered him.He’d just gotten a taste of humiliation not too long ago on the arena; there was zero chance he wanted another brutal encore.It wasn’t just Richard who felt the choking tension.The other heirs in the hall blanched the moment they caught a whiff of that lethal vibe Alex was throwing around.No one had expected such brazen audacity in the King’s Mansion.Everyone—even Sofie—was left gaping like clueless fools.Cassandra, however, was rattled in a different way.She knew perfectly well the feud between Alex and Richard boiled down to her.Alex was fueled by raw anger on her behalf, which only wound her heart tighter with a tangle of guilt and admiration.What most people missed was that Alex wasn’t just tormenting Richard for kicks.Nah, the pathetic slime wasn’t worth this level of rage.No, Alex’s real target was the entire Bolton clan. And Richard was th

    And Alex had aimed his entire performance at warning Camelot off.The truth was, if Miracle City wanted to break its ceilings, they needed Alex.Camelot might be a prodigy, but the city could survive without him.Without Alex, however? That was a gamble Arthur wasn’t willing to take.Camelot said nothing, but you could practically see the shadows swirling in his eyes.He’d believed from the get-go that Arthur was grooming him for the throne.Without that lofty goal, he’d be just a glorified foster kid, overshadowed by Sofie and hounded by the city’s paranoid elders.With Alex in the picture, he felt the noose tightening.Scarlet Hunt, on the other hand, beamed like a kid in a candy store.Alex’s brand of troublemaking was next-level.He bulldozed through Richard in front of the King and half the city’s VIPs—then strutted around like he owned the place.She’d prided herself on being a wild child, but Alex was playing in an entirely different league.She kind of loved it.Richard and hi

    Alex slammed his sword into the marble floor with a deafening crash, sending a web of cracks snaking across the polished stone.He glared at Richard Bolton and snarled, “So you think you can bully anyone you want, but no one can bully you? Stick around if you dare, and I’ll carve that arrogance out of you.”Richard’s eyes flickered with terror.He still remembered losing humiliatingly to Alex during the tournament. Worse, Alex had only grown stronger since then.Glancing toward the upper balcony, Richard searched for his father’s support. But Howard Bolton stood silent, his face twisted in displeasure.He refused to lift a finger in child fight.Alex watched with a mocking grin.Richard, you fool—Arthur trapped Howard with a few well-placed words. If Howard intervenes now, it’ll look like blatant intimidation.The Bolton patriarch had no choice but to swallow the shame.That suited Alex just fine. The longer he provoked them, the more the Bolton Family’s hatred would flare, forcing th

    Alex loitered in Sofie’s overgrown yard at the King’s Mansion, pumping his Mana force into the night air like he owned the place.Moonlight flickered across his face while Sofie and Cassandra snored away inside, oblivious to his midnight hustle.The more he trained, the more his Mana felt like it was bonding with the stars themselves, feeding his soul with a slow, powerful burn.After a while, he felt a rush of energy flood through him, and he exhaled, eyes cutting to a rustling bush off to one side.“Father-in-law,” Alex said flatly. “You’ve been spying on me this whole time. Please just step out.”Sure enough, from behind the leaves crept Arthur—mighty, arrogant Arthur, so-called Black Gold rank Magician.He looked downright insulted that someone like Alex, some five-star Silver upstart, had sniffed him out.“So it’s true,” Arthur said, voice tight. “You can actually sense my aura.”Alex raised one brow and scoffed like he’d just smelled something rotten. “You think hiding from me w

    Under the pale glow of moonlight, Camelot stood alone in the courtyard, his heart weighed down by sorrow.His eyes shimmered—not with pride, but with pain—as he looked upon Arthur.“Father…” he began, his voice trembling, barely holding back the storm within.Arthur raised a hand gently, cutting him off. “Camelot, about Sofie… you should speak to her yourself. You know I’ve given her the freedom to choose.”A sharp ache twisted in Camelot’s chest. The promise—so often whispered, so deeply believed—that Sofie would one day be his bride, along with the throne, now crumbled in silence.He interrupted, his voice brittle. “I understand.”He took a breath, steadying himself. “I’ve already decided to relinquish the throne you once promised me. The King’s seat… let it go to Sofie.”Arthur watched, silent and solemn.“This very night,” Camelot continued, swallowing hard, “I swear to devote every ounce of my strength to training. I won’t disappoint you. One day, I’ll stand beside Sofie as her m

    They were about to head out when someone let out a startled shout.“Cassandra’s here!”All the guys in class went rigid.Their eyes locked on the slender girl who just stepped inside. She wore a tight training outfit that revealed every graceful curve.There was a cool aura around her, distant and untouchable, and it made every heartbeat pound twice as hard.Cassandra. She was the dream of nearly everyone in the school.Even back when she was only a junior, people in the Elite class whispered her name, counting down the days until she joined them.Now, their wish was granted—and yet that icy expression kept them all at arm’s length.She was like a goddess on a high throne, too pure for mortal hands.No one dared approach her. No one found the courage to speak.They only watched in silent awe while an ache of longing throbbed in their chests.Then Cassandra’s gaze swept over the crowd and landed on Alex. The moment she spotted him, her frosty demeanor softened.She glided straight to h

    Alex fused with the Alpha Wolf, and his body shot up to nearly two meters in height.He looked lean and fierce, his features carrying a youthful charm that masked the lethal power within.When placed side by side with Camelot’s colossal Mutant Dragon, though, the wolf form seemed laughably small.A mutter of disbelief rippled through the crowd.“An Alpha Wolf? Right in front of that dragon?”“Is he trying to be funny?”People remembered rumors of Alex’s Alpha Wolf defeating the Bolton Family’s elite fighters.But to challenge a Mutant Dragon, a vicious Gold-rank beast bordering on Legendary strength, seemed downright suicidal.Camelot let out a booming laugh, his tail hammer cracking the pavement.“A puny Alpha Wolf against my dragon?” He sneered, voice echoing through the arena.“Brat, you’re out of your mind.”Alex’s eyes stayed calm. “We’ll see who’s the fool soon enough.”What no one realized was that Alex’s Alpha Wolf gene wasn’t ordinary.In the final stages of his Beast gene i

    Cassandra’s gaze dropped.Sofie’s words echoed in her chest like a blade.Marry Alex? How could she dare dream of that? He was a rising storm, born again with power that shattered limits.And her? Just a shadow clinging to the name of the Hathaway Family—a family that would never measure up to the Goldenharts.Only Sofie, the princess of Miracle City, could walk beside someone like Alex.Sofie saw the change in Cassandra’s expression.Her chest tightened. Cassandra may have a cold front, but Sofie knew the truth—inside, she burned.And when that fire latched onto someone, it wasn’t gentle.It was full devotion, full surrender. She’d give everything to the one she loved.Sofie… she couldn’t do that. Not yet. She had a kingdom to carry. A name to uphold.In that way, she didn’t deserve Alex either.Out in the courtyard, Alex sat cross-legged, but his mind wasn’t on training.The image played over and over—two goddesses wrapped in silk, light and shadow on bare skin.He rubbed his neck,

    Arthur’s eyes narrowed. “Right… there’s still one more thing.”His voice dropped a notch, tried to change topic.“When I faced that Mutant Ape, someone saved me. A legend only technique. A mysterious expert. I think it was your master.”Alex blinked, caught off guard. “My master?” He paused, as if pulling a memory out of fog.Then nodded. “Yeah… that must’ve been him.”It wasn’t. He didn’t even have a master. But Alex wasn’t about to take credit. Let the imaginary sage take the spotlight this time.Arthur gave a solemn nod. “Then thank him for me. I recovered a Beast Gene from the Ape’s corpse. A rare one. The creature had awakened wisdom—nearly mythical. Pass it to your master.”He held out the crystal-like essence. But Alex didn’t reach for it. Instead, he smiled.“My master said he had no use for it. He’s been looking for a gift for his future in-law. So…” Alex pointed to the gene. “Consider this a dowry.”Arthur froze.“Dowry?” His voice dropped, face darkening. “You and Sofie hav

    Alex looked at the dying Mutant Ape, its body heaving with ragged breath.Blood matted its fur, and the creature’s once-mighty limbs sagged in defeat.It had no strength left to fight. Alex glanced at Arthur, whose blade still dripped crimson.Arthur owed him yet another favor.He thought, Consider the Legend-rank forbidden scroll part of that debt.Then he smiled to himself and turned his gaze to the other Black Gold–rank Mutant Beasts prowling nearby.He wouldn’t waste another Legend-rank inscription scroll on them.Those scrolls were too rare to squander. He had only six left, and every one was precious.Instead, he prepared his single flying knife, the only weapon capable of piercing a Black Gold–rank Beast’s defenses.But controlling it was no easy task.He took cover behind shattered walls, eyeing the ongoing battles.Every so often, he’d see a moment of weakness in a Mutant Beast.That was when he’d strike. The knife could break through hide and muscle, but Black Gold–rank Beas

    Arthur and the others stared grimly at the apes hurling boulders across the battlefield.Even for Black Gold fighters, this was a dangerous onslaught.The city walls stretched on for miles—there was no way to protect every inch.Unease spread among the Patriarchs.Howard kept his fear hidden. 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. Their power drops if we stretch their range.”Alex revealed a bomb, newly crafted by the Alchemist Associati

    “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. Sofie couldn’t overpower both at once, not when they were stronger than her by multiple stars.Cassandra tensed, ready to help, but a Gold rank beast lunged at Alex.She fused with her Mutant Eagle in a flash.Lightning cracked from her palms, slamming into the beast and knocking it back, blood spattering across the stone. Roaring in rage, it came at her again.A howling wind ki

    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
