2024-10-29 19:42:56Alex looked at the divorce paper.
‘Winning is winning, losing is losing.’
With a heavy sigh, he signed the paper.
He accepted this harsh reality like a true man, burying all his love in the silent grave of agony. He vowed not to return to this place again.
“She will regret it painfully, later,” the old officer muttered.
“Pardon?”
“I heard the commotion you both caused outside. The security came and told me. She wants a divorce because you are poor, right?”
Alex nodded.
The old woman sighed heavily. “You purposely showed her a smart device on your wrist, and there is a small royal logo on it. You’re not just anybody. But she is too oblivious to what she wants.”
“You know about this?” Alex showed the smart device with small royal logo.
"I'm old enough to recognize a Cinderella story about a royal family revealing themselves a year after marriage. I've waited for it my entire life, but it never happened.”
“Some newlywed women who left the marriage department with their husband were gossiping and yearning for it, 'Do you think my husband's real identity is a royal family incognito? Will he surprise me after a year?’”
“After 40 years of working here and thousands of marriages, no royal family had come. Finally, when the real one arrives, she divorces you a day before a year..." The old woman sighed. "She will surely regret this painfully."
"What's the point of her regret when we're already divorced?" Alex chuckled sadly.
“That means she was not worth of your love. If she only had a little patience,” the old woman stood and bowing slightly.
“I wish you good luck in finding your true love, Sir.”
“Thank you,” Alex walked out.
The security stopped him, “Did you sign it?”
Alex nodded, too lazy to answer.
“Good, next time find someone who’s your equal.”
Alex walked away. ‘My equal? A princess from another country? Merly surely fits best as the royal lowest maid.’
He noticed Merly on the roadside, appearing to wait for someone.
Walking over to her under the scorching sunlight that burned his skin, Alex as a gentleman, he believed it wasn't right to part on bad terms.
After all, they had shared a year together through good and bad.
Approaching Merly, he said, “Now that we're divorced, I apologize for any past mistakes. Let's start fresh and create a good life for ourselves.”
Alex offered his hand for a handshake, but Merly fiercely slapped it away.
“Yeah, good for you. You’ve been draining me for a year. Do you think anyone would want to shake hands with a monster that’s tortured them?”
He was baffled, unable to understand why every kind word he uttered was met with anger and blame from her.
“I’ve done everything for you. Can you tell me, besides being poor, what did I do to deserve this much disrespect?” Alex finally snapped.
“You've made all sorts of mistakes towards me! You should apologize. You also wasted my precious time, the time I should have been living my best life. You just wasted it,” she shot back.
Alex countered, “I've lost time too, especially now that we’re divorced. I have nothing! And do you think you never made any mistakes towards me?”
“I never made any mistakes towards you! You know it!” Merly snorted arrogantly.
“You took advantage of being with me for a year, with the most beautiful girl, something people at your level can only dream of.”
Merly's arrogance finally erased any remaining affection and pleasant memories Alex had of her.
Just because men don't want to think about their wife's mistakes like women count every man's mistake and multiply it by a hundred, doesn't mean women have none!
It was not patience that Merly lacked; rather, she had not even a tiny bit of love for him anymore.
Just then, a luxury car, worth $ 50,000 Archelion dollars, pulled up in front of Merly. A short man with a large belly and crooked teeth emerged from the vehicle.
The strength of his cologne struck Alex like a surge of waves.
"Ugor, what brings you here?" Merly's demeanour instantly transformed into one of sweetness, a stark contrast to her previous attitude.
"Oh, sweetheart," Ugor approached her. "You didn’t come to work, and I heard you divorced your husband. I came to see if I could help with anything."
"How sweet of you, Ugor," Merly cooed, sidling up to him. "This divorce has broken my heart, but now I am free from that ugly."
Alex watched them, utterly stunned. He had always taken care of himself, maintaining a diet and exercise.
His body was well-toned, his appearance had once made him the object of many a noble maiden's fantasies, even landing him spots in fashion magazines.
He was also notably taller than Merly.
Ugor, the son of General Manager of the construction company where he and Merly worked, was shorter than Merly, indulging in smoking, drinking alcohol, and leading a reckless sex lifestyle without caring for his health, which only marred his looks further.
Alex realized something painfully then—he was being outdone by this man.
Ugor glanced at Alex. “You don’t need to worry about going to work anymore. You are fired!”
Alex was speechless.
“You should be thanking Merly. If not for her, I would have had all the workers beat you for mistreating her. Kneel in front of her now!” Ugor demanded arrogantly.
“…”
“You are right, sweetheart,” Merly intervened, “and tell her to return his wedding ring to me. It's worth a good amount of money too.”
Alex looked at the wedding ring on his hand, bought with his own money for both of them.

On the roadside, under the scorching sunlight, Alex's hands trembled with rage and irony as he flung the ring."So, Ugor is the real reason for our divorce?"Merly caught the ring; her face briefly showed a hint of guilt before transforming into aggressive arrogance.“So what? We are already divorced. I am free to do anything.”“You are right.” It was really a bitter reality, taste like a sand in Alex’s mouth.“Don’t you know who Ugor really is? He’s just going to play with your heart and body, then discard you. Can’t you find someone better, someone more human than a goat?”“Shut up!” Ugor interjected. “I’m going to marry Merly. If it weren’t for you, I’d have married her six months ago.”Alex ignored him, “Merly, ask yourself deep down, is Ugor the right one for you? He’s only slightly richer than me, just another worker.”He knew her well; they had been husband and wife for a year.“Anyone better than you is fine,” Merly's face flushed with shame, her eyes darting away to avoid the

"You're the one who's wrong!" Ugor's intense anger and emotional rage were evident as he defended his innocence, even though it was clearly his fault.Suddenly, the most luxurious car in the world, worth $10 million, appeared behind the $50,000 and $100,000 cars.A tall, stunningly beautiful woman, with long hair and adorned in extravagant attire, emerged from her car.“Dears, can you both move your cars? I need to pass. Please don’t block the way.”Ugor, shocked by the beauty, promptly replied with a lewd expression, "Yes, yes, of course."“Right away.” The other car owner, feeling intimidated by the high-priced car’s aura, also moved his car to the parking lot to clear the way."Thank you," the woman replied, then drove her luxury car into the parking lot, eliciting awe from a crowd of onlookers.She got out of her car elegantly, walked towards Alex, and bowing deeply. “Lord Alex, your faithful personal assistant, Livinia, at your service.”Ugor and Merly watched in shock as the beau

Merly burst into the room, her eyes wide with desperation, declaring, “Cancel my divorce this instant!”The woman looked at Merly, her finger already on the enter button. "Oops... I just pushed it."Merly's face turned into a shock; her smart device was still connected to Auna."Oh, I apologize, Mrs. Merly,” Auna suddenly called. “Our system just processing your divorce. As a result, this bank account will be terminated. Have a nice day."The screen suddenly went blank."Why did you put it in the system?" Merly’s anger flaring at the worker.“I had tried to give you 15 minutes before, but you refused it! Go back to Mr. Alexander, ask him to sign the marriage papers again," the woman disdainfully said. “Loser!”In a mixed feeling of fury and loss, Merly walked out.The guard halted Merly with a lewd grin. "He's signed the divorce papers. Do you have time tonight?""Shut up!" Merly snapped, pushing him away angrily.Outside the parking lot, in the burning heat of the sunlight, she found

"What? What did you just say?" The general manager stood up, shock and disbelief evident on his face. No one had ever spoken so boldly in front of him in his entire life."I'll repeat it as many times as you want," Alex said, fed up with everything.“This place, Luster, is not your fucking place."The worker’s face was pale, they were so shocked that they didn’t dare say anything or make even the smallest move.“Explain, you bastard,” Luster demanded, his voice seething with fury his body trembling in anger.“This Total Construction has stockholders; they are the real owners. We are all just workers here, and you, despite being the general manager, are a salary eater like us. Or…”Stepping forward, Alex's eyes blazed with defiance. "Do you believe you're the boss here? Acting arrogantly all this time? Some people snap their fingers then you wouldn't find a job for the rest of your life."“Great... great... Looks like you’ve finally gone crazy,” Luster retorted, scanning the room.“All

"Guys, what are you doing here?" The sudden, sweet call in the tense room was like a melody, instantly turning all heads and calming the stormy air.They all turned toward the source, beholding a vision of goddess beauty with luxury clothes.A woman with her long, wavy hair cascading over her shoulders, her movements radiated grace and elegance. Her smile, warm and inviting, seemed to thaw even the iciest demeanour, carrying with her an autumnal aura."Miss Sophia," Lucas stammered, hastily releasing Alex's collar as everyone, trying to get a good side of Sophia, returned to their chairs.Sophia Deneuve, in her twenties, was the golden apple of the wealthy Deneuve family, the CEO of Deneuve Hotel, and top 3 goddess in the Blackwood City."Hello, guys," Sophia's melodious voice dissolved the tension, her elegant floral perfume lingering, enchanting everyone present."Hi, Miss Sophia," the men responded, their faces lighting up with an almost foolish delight. To them, Sophia was like an

“What’s impossible?” Sophia asked with disbelief."A friendship between a man and a woman will never work out," Alex said, his fingers flying over the keyboard as he finished his last obligation to others."Women will try to use men for free, and men will fight to enter a woman's bed."“And Sophia Deneuve, I’ve gotten too close to understand you. You're just going to use me to fight for your ambition. I'm not interested in that game.”Sophia struck her most charming pose, opening up her shirt slightly and placing one leg in front of Alex, showcasing the perfect curves of her body. “Don’t you think I’m pretty?”“Move away,” Alex pushed her back without a second glance and took a ruler from the table to put in his box. “We both know your charm never work on me.”Alex had grown up in the Royal Castle, surrounded by thousands of beauties trying to sneak into his bed every day.He had become immune to these types of seduction.“Damn, how can my charm never work on you?” Sophia said, frustra

Meanwhile, Alex finished his last job and gathered his personal belongings from his table drawer: basic construction tools like rulers, hammers, and miscellaneous gear, all acquired with his hard-earned salary.They were inexpensive, but he saw them as keepsakes for reminiscent of his incognito days.“Alex, if I get fired, I’ll look for you,” said Lucas angrily.“Just you wait, I will never let you off,” stated Jack.“I might take some workers to hit you if you dare to report me,” threatened Peter.Alex turned a deaf ear to all of them. "For him, they're all finished. Why bother with them anymore?"His basic smart wrist device began to vibrate softly, signaling an incoming call.When he saw it was from Sophia, he moved to find a quiet place to take the call."What final assistance can I provide for you, Miss Sophia?" Alex inquired, intending to dispose of this smart device on the aircraft along later with all his connections in this city.However, instead of a direct reply, all Alex co

Alex burst into the room, eyes ablaze, catching Luster red-handed in his deceit. His hand was already on Sophia’s body."Alex!" Luster sprang up, attempting to distance himself from Sophia. His guilt gnawed at him, but he masked it with feigned anger. "How dare you!!!""How dare I what?" Alex advanced, seizing Luster by the neck of his shirt and yanking him upward with his left hand."What are you doing? I'm calling the police." Luster's face paled, twisted by fear."Great, call them. Tell them you're poisoning Sophia!""I am not," Luster protested.Alex, seeing Sophia in disarray, becomes furious."Lying through your teeth," Alex punched, his right fist connecting with Luster's face, causing his nose and lips to bleed."Now, tell me who ordered you to poison Sophia?"Luster, arrogantly, retorted, "You're finished, Alex. You're messing with someone powerful. You're going to regret this."Alex, filled with anger, throws another punch, to his eyes, "You better start talking!"But then, r

“This isn’t over yet!” Brian snapped, turning back to his exam, trying his hardest to pass it.Alex laughed and turned to the Alchemy Master.“Can I use one of the alchemy room now? I need to make a potion for my friend.”Mitchell Hunt, the alchemy master shocked and chatted with Alex for a while and quickly realized that Alex wasn’t just skilled in the theories of alchemy—he was also familiar with actual refinement processes.Monstrous!Mitchell had spent decades in alchemy, only reaching the Alchemy Master level at fifty years old.Thinking about Alex’s age made him feel both impressed and embarrassed.It was frustrating! How old was Alex? Yet his knowledge was already on par with seasoned masters.It was proof that knowledge didn’t always come with age.“Sure,” Mitchell said finally, “I’ll let you use my alchemy room.

"Don’t fool yourself into thinking you’ll become a Master today," Brian said, shaking his head in disgust."You’d be better off running home and nursing at your mother’s breast."Alex responded with a nonchalant shrug. "We’ll see about that," he said softly."And when I prove you wrong, I’ll treat you as my proper servant."With those quiet, confident words, Alex turned and walked toward the examination chamber, leaving Brian seething in his wake.Brian glared at the boy’s retreating back, his mind spinning with disbelief.How dare this arrogant whelp even consider taking such a demanding exam?Shaking his head, Brian stepped into the assigned room, bitter resentment burning hot in his chest.Inside the testing chamber, Alex approached the Alchemy Master presiding over the exam.The old man’s face was stern, his gaze appraising as he studied the young stranger who dared to set foot here.He looked utterly perplexed.

Walking down a corridor lit by soft, enchanted lamp, Alex followed the attendant who had greeted him in the lobby.His thoughts drifted to the fallen Alchemist Association.He recalled how, in recent years, so many gifted minds had abandoned alchemy for the sword and spear, leaving a generation barely touched by the old art’s wisdom.In his previous life, he had witnessed the Alchemist Association’s last stand during the siege of Miracle City.They had given everything, each member perishing in the final defense.At least, he had no reason to doubt their honor; the Bolton Family’s hand had never tainted the alchemists’ good name.His guide, a sharp-eyed young woman named Lanny, studied him with open skepticism.“You’re here to take the apprentice examination, right? I hope you’ve prepared. Anyone worth their salt knows at least five foundational tomes by heart.”Alex almost laughed as he pictured one of those massive texts.It had been thick enough to topple a grown man if hurled with

In a split second, Alex pulled the gun from his pocket and fired at the attacker.It was an ancient technology, long lost to time, and only a handful of people still owned it.The other attackers froze, their eyes wide as they watched their leader—a silver rank—fly back nearly ten meters from the force of the laser shot.Smoke rose from his chest, where a searing burn now marred his flesh.The top silver rank was dead by one shot.The remaining four glanced at each other, panic spreading across their faces.They nodded in silent agreement and suddenly turned to flee.What was supposed to be an easy job—killing a bronze-ranked kid—had turned into a nightmare.That same kid had just taken down their leader, the strongest among them, with a single shot.They were only early silver rank—staying would mean certain death.Running was their only choice.As they bolted, Alex didn’t hesitate.

Previously, Alex and Sofie were on the truck, heading back to the city, when Renault contacted them.“Sofie, Alex! Thank God you’re safe! We’ve been searching everywhere for you,” Renault’s voice crackled through the communicator.Alex smiled, knowing Renault felt truly safe was knowing the princess was unharmed.His whole family could land in prison if anything happened to her.“We’re okay!” Alex replied straightforwardly.“But you guys need to hurry and get the stuff—then leave quickly!”“Why?” Renault asked, a note of worry in his tone.“I ran into some outlaws,” Alex explained.“They’re hunting for nobles. They’ll try to steal everything and might even kidnap all of you for ransom!”Renault’s breath hitched on the other end, clearly caught off guard.If the outlaws found them, it would be catastrophic.But Alex’s warning gave them an edge—if they knew trouble was coming, they could set traps and prepare an ambush.“Thank you, Alex.

Jareth furiously raised his head and glared at Renault.“What?” Renault snapped back, his eyes narrowing.“Don’t think I won’t destroy your entire family if you keep trying to harm Alex and Sofie!”The tension crackled between them.

"Shut up, Jareth!" Scarlet's voice cracked with anger as she glared at him."This is the truth!" Jareth retorted coldly, his laughter mocking."His corpse has probably been devoured by beasts. You can't change what's already a fact!"Alex had swallowed his Mana Force, filling him with hatred.He had robbed him of years of painstaking effort. If Alex wasn't already dead, Jareth swore he'd kill him with his own hands."Get lost!" Scarlet snapped, fury radiating from her. "If you don't leave now, don't blame me for being rude!"Jareth opened his mouth to retort, but Renault interrupted, his voice edged with warning. "You'd better listen to her, Jareth."Regret gnawed at Renault's chest.He should have prioritized Sofie. Guilt weighed heavily as he prayed for her safety. Listening to Jareth's venomous remarks only deepened the bitterness in his heart.Jareth smirked, shrugged, and moved aside, his defiance lingering in the air.The group was down to just twenty-one people now.

Her indignation wavered as she realized he was only trying to help her.But that also meant Alex had seen her entire body while treating her injuries.Embarrassment gnawed at her, her cheeks flushing deeply."Thank you," she whispered, her eyes dropping to the floor.An awkward silence settled between them. Gathering her courage, Sofie finally asked, "Alex, do you... like me?"Alex knew that once he'd confided his feelings to his twenty-one commoner friends, the whole academy would soon find out.He looked at her earnestly."You are more precious to me than all the treasures on this earth. Your beauty shines brighter than any jewel."He took a deep breath and continued, "I love you without knowing how, or when, or from where. I love you simply, without problems or pride."Her heart skipped a beat at his heartfelt confession. Though part of her had suspected his feelings, hearing him say it so directly left her flustered.Taking a steadying breath, she said, "We're still young. We don'
