2024-04-03 19:50:04Alex 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

After bidding farewell to Ferdinand, Alex, William, and Rudolf boarded their old car back to the Steel Family, each having gained something valuable from their journey.Upon returning, William and Rudolf summoned the entire Steel Family to distribute elixirs for faster growth, while keeping secret from outsider.Alex then settled into his private room to focus on intense practice.That evening, Alex learned from the Alchemist Association’s Carmen Lie that a group of assassins had attempted to steal the Iron plate but were swiftly dealt with by her bodyguards.Alex’s eyebrow twitched, surprised that anyone in Miracle City would dare attempt such a brazen act, and he guessed the assassins must have known the smartphone’s true purpose—serving as a key to many hidden bunkers and locked places in ancient ruins—making such a dangerous risk worthwhile in their eyes.Only the Outlaw could be bold enough for such crimes, leaving Alex certain of their involvement.Regardless of whether it was t

Alex had already fused with a Phantom, though no one knew.His trip wasn’t simply to find an ordinary Beast Genetic, so William’s references were of little use.“I have my own plan,” Alex said with a nod.William and Rudolf exchanged anxious smiles. They kept forgetting that this fifteen-year-old was no ordinary child—he was more like a monster genius, beyond their ability to guide or decide for.The car sped forward, and Alex had William check that no one was trailing them.Once he confirmed they weren’t being followed, Alex finally relaxed.Despite that, a lingering worry remained that someone might be monitoring him—either the Bolton Family or the Outlaw group.Both had immense power, but luckily neither seemed interested in following a teenager this time.By the time they did pay attention, Alex believed he would have already grown too strong for them to handle.Beast Genetic Merchant Hall – VIP RoomUpon revealing their identities at the Beast Genetic Merchant Hall, Alex and his

“Sixty-five million dollars!” Carmen Lie’s voice rang out through the hushed auction hall. Despite the hammering of her own heart, she refused to back down.Alex had given clear orders: whatever the cost, the iron plate must be won—and he would pay.She swallowed hard. Sixty million... Was this battered piece of metal really worth it? What was so special about it that Alex insisted she secure it at all costs?From the raised balcony, Alex studied the cloaked figure down on the main floor.Whoever the man was, he was determined to challenge the Alchemist Association head-on.“Seventy million,” the mystery bidder called. He sounded uncertain but still pressed forward.“Seventy-five million,” Carmen countered immediately.Gasps rippled across the crowd. The price soared higher and higher.Nearby, William and Rudolf stood speechless. They knew Alex needed that plate, but they hadn’t expected the bidding to explode like this.Their minds buzzed: Just how deep are Alex’s pockets? How much

“Grand Elder Rudolf, take this Body Strength Pill. Consume it once you’re home—it’ll do wonders for a Fighter’s physical prowess.”Alex handed Rudolf a small pill, its surface gleaming with faint energy.“Thank you, Alex!” Rudolf’s voice trembled with emotion.He knew how ridiculously expensive Body Strength Pills had become; rumors claimed one could cost over a million dollars.Nearby, William’s eyes shone with envy.He knew as well as anyone that these pills weren’t just for Fighters—Magicians benefited greatly from them, too.“Alex,” William said with a respectful nod, “the Steel Family is your family. Our treasury is your treasury. Take whatever you like from it.” He gestured expansively.In truth, most items left in the Steel Family’s vault were useless to them.He actually hoped Alex would take more. The elixirs Alex had already given were worth more than the entire Steel Family combined.“I’m surprised by your generosity, Patriarch,” Alex said, eyeing William.“It seems I’ve mi

Rudolf took the bottles from Alex and immediately opened one.His eyes went wide the instant he saw the contents: a mix of Mana Refining Pills and Mana Gathering Pills.Though each pill was tiny, their authenticity was unmistakable, and realizing what he held made his heart pound with excitement.He discovered there were a hundred high-rank potions in one of the box—an astonishing number.Typically, only the most influential families had access to such elixirs; finding them on the open market was nearly impossible.Not too long ago, Miracle City’s King Auction House sold only a few high-rank potions.Just one fetched the staggering sum of five hundred thousand dollars.If a single potion could command that price, then hundreds would easily be worth over a ten to hundred million!This enormous figure almost made Rudolf feel faint.No matter how wealthy you were, getting your hands on high-rank potions without special channels was nearly unthinkable.“These pills are pricey right now be

Mateo and Jose joined the bidding war the moment it began, their voices cutting through the din as four prominent families clashed over those coveted pills.The commotion only settled when the price soared to three hundred and twenty thousand dollars—a sum that made the entire room hold its breath.William, rubbing his hands together in a mix of excitement and nerves, sidled up to Alex.“Alex, these are precious Mana Refining Pills,” he said, voice pitched low.“You sure you’re not going to buy? Better you get them than watch those other families snatch them all.”Alex merely shrugged and leaned back in his chair.“Not really interested,” he answered softly.“I’ve picked up quite a few items already. Let the others have some fun bidding—it’s boring if only one person wins every time.”William didn’t know whether to laugh or groan.He was well aware how valuable Mana Refining Pills could be for cultivating the younger generation.But then a thought struck him: these pills came from the

William's and Rudolf's faces turned pale.They were just a small clan; without a noble title, they might never stand among the other clans.Even with their noble status intact, they remained at the bottom of the hierarchy.The two noble clans standing before them could crush the Steel family any time they wanted.Alex stood abruptly, a wide grin splitting his face.“When a man lets his mouth run, the words are like spit—once out, they can’t be taken back. It’s disgusting.”“What do you mean by that?” Mateo demanded, his brows furrowing.“I accept your war cry. Starting tomorrow, let our clans go to war!” Alex declared boldly.William grabbed Alex by the arm, panic etched on his face. “What are you doing? Do you want to get our clan destroyed?”Alex shook his head, his smile sharp. “Why care about two small clans like theirs? We’ll call the Alchemist Association. With their help and a thousand gold and silver ranks fighters, we can flatten their clan. Once they’re out of the way, we’ll

Mateo and Jose scoffed like they had something foul caught in their throats.They couldn’t fathom why the almighty Alchemist Guild would even bother dealing with the Steel Family.They’d sent their own lackeys to snoop around, but came up empty.Now, tension clogged the air inside the private gallery.Rudolf and Alex sat off to the side, enjoying their tea and keeping quiet.This was a clash among heads of noble houses; neither man felt any need to join the bickering—unless it served them.Rudolf leaned in toward Alex.He whispered, “Ramirez and Sanchez have always strutted around like roosters. When the Steel Family was in the gutter, they tried to buy up our land for pocket change.”“We knew who was behind it and refused. Later, during the Bolton crackdown on us, these two vultures swooped in and snatched our trade routes.”At that, Alex narrowed his eyes at Mateo and Jose.Petty spats among small clan heads never interested him.But since these two were Bolton’s lapdogs, they had t

Alex meticulously copied three of his elixir recipes into papers.Each was designed to boost Miracle City’s overall strength, yet he understood the importance of restraint.Introducing them all at once could overwhelm the city’s foundations, causing more harm than good.He had already planned to share these formulas, even without any prompting or persuasion from Carmen Lie.Once he was done, Alex lifted his gaze to meet Carmen’s.“I can only offer three recipes for now,” he said in a level tone.“They’re all highly potent, especially the Cold Resistance Pill. I’m sure you already know how useful that one can be.”Her eyes sparkled with excitement.“Thank you, Alex. You’ve contributed so much to Miracle City. If the King were to hear of this, I’m certain he’d grant you a higher title of nobility!”Alex shook his head, dismissing the idea. “I have no interest in titles or prestige. I only ask that you keep my involvement quiet.”Carmen couldn’t hide her amazement at his maturity; he was
