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. Don’t you think that is enough to e

    Under the blue sky and wide horizon, where the skyscraper buildings were towering, Alex stood on the penthouse balcony. He gazed down at everything, his hair tousled by the wind.“Let’s start by accusing the Wellington family of having connections with the Drakonia Federation, our enemy country,” Alex said to Lavinia. “How much time do we have to verify the truth?”Lavinia replied, “If they are accused, we can freeze their entire assets for three months for search and investigation, even if they’ve done no wrong.”Alex scoffed, “It’s impossible for a big company to not have even a speck of dirt. If we search thoroughly, we will have plenty of time to uncover their deep-rooted dirt and bury them alive with the dirt.”"Lavinia, inform everyone that the Supreme Leader suspects espionage by the Wellington family. Deploy rapid response military and police units from across Blackwood to freeze all their assets immediately."“Roger, sir.”“Go get all their family members and throw them into

    Inside the penthouse, one policewoman was calming Sophia in another bedroom.Meanwhile, outside on the balcony, a police officer drew his handgun and pointed it at Tommy Deneuve through the glass door."Sir, Please unlock the door, or I'll have to shoot you," the officer warned sternly.Tommy's face turned pale, and he tremblingly opened the door.The policeman looked at him sharply. "I received a report that you, as the father, collaborated with James to harm your own daughter."Tommy’s expression was one of sheer terror as the policeman struck him on his face. "What a messed-up family! You are under arrest and will be in jail for at least ten years.""No, please don't," Tommy begged, his voice thick with fear of the consequences.Alex walked in and asked, "Where is my wife?""She's in the bedroom on the right side, Sir," the officer replied.Alex walked to the bedroom and found Sophia with the policewoman, who glanced at Alex as he entered and then quietly left the room, giving them

    At the high-end country club in Blackwood City, a group of Sophia's and Victoria's college classmates had reserved a section for their reunion event.Initially, it was supposed to be a small gathering reunion for locals from Blackwood and around, but once the news spread through their classmate group’s chat, almost 85% of them decided to attend the impromptu reunion, even if it meant flying for two or three hours to Blackwood."Blackwood City will be the place where economic development will soar," one man declared. "This is the perfect time to invest in it."“Of course,” Added the other, "The Empire will spend hundreds of billions of dollars over the next five years on city development. All the land and real estate prices will skyrocket. If we don't come here to seek business opportunities, where else should we be?""You are right," a woman chimed in, "my parents told me to ask Sophia if we can make connections with Total Construction; they've secured a $500 million contract for this

    The club's atmosphere suddenly turned awkward as Ravenna appeared, clearly intent on looking down on Sophia by mocking her husband’s low status.Every classmate there was aware of Ravenna's envy and her efforts to outshine Sophia.Whenever Ravenna had a chance to score points against Sophia, she never missed it, but usually, Ravenna lost miserably, 10 out of 10 times.Now, she was eyeing Alex with her eagle eyes, determined not to miss this chance to outshine Sophia for the first time.“Jack!” Ravenna yelled to the man who was fencing in a nearby area.One of the players, a burly man, abruptly utilized his strength to lunge at his opponent, causing them to stumble. Sporting a smug grin, he removed his fencing mask, tossed it aside, and confidently approached Ravenna.“What’s up, my dear?” Jack came to hug Ravenna, his arm around her shoulder showing off his domination over her.He flashed a cheeky smile, like a thug proud of his own coolness.“Let me introduce Jack to all of you,” Rav

    In the chilly night air, Jack grinned widely, keeping secret from everyone that he had been a fencing champion in high school.Nobody could beat him in fencing; he was sure of it.Now, he had the chance to display his skills in front of Sophia and Victoria, whom he regarded as the most beautiful girls he had ever seen.He quickly made a bet. "No problem, if you want to make a fool of yourself. But I don't need you to bark if you lose, since I already know you're poorer than Ravenna's dog, who even has its own house."Jack turned his gaze to Sophia. "If you lose, just make sure your wife serves me well for one night."Sophia's classmates already disliked Jack due to his bad attitude. Now, after listening to Jack’s nonsense, their emotions rose to a new high.One of them yelled, "You bastard, what do you think of this place?"Another said, "Do you think this is your nightclub where all women can be treated like your Ravenna?""Enough, you're not welcome at this reunion," one declared."

    Alex knew everything about fighting with all weapons, and he could clearly see what Jack planned to do using his large physique and full fencing protective gear.He threw his sabre back onto the shelf, and as Jack stepped closer, Alex struck Jack's throat with his right fist with precision and speed.Jack choked although it has protection, the force still reached his throat.Alex's anger hadn't subsided yet.So, he delivered a forceful kick to Jack’s groin; even though it was protected, it caused enough force to incapacitate him.Jack's body suddenly bent over like a shrimp and fell to the arena floor.Ravenna quickly rushed to help Jack, yelling at the top of her lungs, “You're cheating! You have no sportsmanship! You're disqualified! You lose!”Meanwhile, some classmates gave thumbs up to Alex; a few even applauded. One of them yelled, “Let’s start the reunion event!”They all ignored Ravenna and her boyfriend on the arena.Ravenna experienced a mix of shame and fury. Once Jack caug

    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. 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
