Sophia returned to her office after the court hearing. Her head ached, her heart ached, and she felt like her entire world had turned upside down.

She was a model, a beauty, and one of the top three goddesses in the industry, with many people jealous of her, thinking she had everything.

Yet here she was, in her office, crying silently, wondering how all this misfortune had befallen her.

Her once loving and caring family had turned into her greatest enemy. Her husband hadn't come back, and she felt utterly alone, facing an endless stream of problems.

Even her best friend had chosen to side with her family.

Everything made her question her life and decisions.

“Sophia Deneuve, the Total Construction general manager, was convicted of stealing about 20 million dollars from the Deneuve Group while she was the CEO of the company,” the reporter said on live television. “Since she stole from the family, the Deneuve family is still waiting for her to return the money.”

    Keaton stepped in, his presence commanding respect. “Miss, I think you made a mistake. The previous Alex wedding venue included only the Royal Ritz room and the penthouse. The garden areas are not included.”“How dare you say that,” Envira snapped, grabbing a document. “This is the judge's verdict, granting us access to all areas of the Royal Ritz Hotel.”“You clearly made a mistake. The judge has no authority over our Ritz management. The judge only stated that we give you what Mr. Alex and Sophia rented from us,” Keaton replied, stepping forward.“If you cannot accept that, I will proceed with refunding your money.”“How dare you!” Preston rushed forward, trying to intimidate the older man. “We will call the police, claiming you refuse to fulfill the judge’s verdict.”“Please, call the police now,” Keaton said, pushing Preston away. “I will call our Ritz lawyers, and we can settle this in court.”“We will do it,” Preston and Envira said before leaving.Sophia looked at Keaton, her e

    "Anybody home?" someone called early in the morning.Merly was just waking up when she heard someone knocking on her door."Miss Merly, are you home?""Yes," she yelled from the bedroom. "Just wait."She tried to dry her clothes, glancing at Ugor, still asleep like a pig beside her. She walked out and opened the door.The man looked to be in his thirties, with bushy eyebrows and a furrowed brow looking at her and inside the house.She knew what it meant: "Disgusting."Merly knew that ever since she started living with Ugor, everything had turned into a disaster.He was so dirty, never cleaned the house, and all their stuff was decaying. It was just like a pigsty."My boss wants to meet you," the man said. "Do you have time today?""Your boss?" Merly asked. "But I have to go to work today.""We will pay you for your time," the man said.Ugor's eyes suddenly opened when he heard about money. "No, you cannot take her away today," he yelled from the room and quickly walked out in only his

James Carnegie never liked people trying to negotiate with him, but at some point, he needed to make one."First, I want you to kill my husband, Ugor."James couldn't believe what he heard. "Why?""He tried to sell me as a prostitute. That's his biggest mistake. Every time I try to get away from him, he threatens to kill me. This is the time I must free myself from him." Merly eyes turned dangerous. “You have to kill him if you need my help.”James sighed and looked at his bodyguard. "Mason, can you deal with him?""Does that ugly creature use drugs?""He's

    "I know this is hard for you," Victoria said, grabbing Sophia’s hand as she looked ready to faint at any moment. "Let's sit at the table. I will explain everything to you."Merly and James exchanged glances, understanding Victoria’s intent.

Let Merly tell you about Alex's past."Merly began, her voice heavy with emotion, "I don't know where to start, but this is a very painful story. To help you, I will bear with this pain.”“Before I met Alex, I was a wealthy woman. Not as rich as you, but I had about $100,000 from

    Merly, Sophia, and James stared at Victoria in shock."Victoria," Sophia said, her voice trembling, "you're joking, right? It is not funny at all.""I wouldn't joke about something like this. I even reported it to my parents, and they're already here to demand Alex take responsibility. They will kill Alex if he dares not to responsible for his actions.""They're here?" Sophia suddenly panicked. Victoria was from the second-ranked family. If they wanted to do something, neither Alex nor she would be able to stop them."Sophia, I didn't want to tell you at first, but my heart couldn't keep the truth from you any longer." Victoria's face grew sad. "Let me tell you the whole story. Do you know Carlo Gotti?""The mafia family?""Yes." Victoria continued, "A few days ago, we were called by him to discuss business.

    James Carniege had spent the past few days trying hard to understand how Alex could have so much money.How could he afford jewelry, pay for food at the City Club, and even cover the wedding venue costs? He had asked several people how it was possible for Alex to have that much money.It was impossible for a retired soldier to have millions of dollars.They finally reached one conclusion: Alex must be a thief who stole money from the military fund, known to be very large."Are you sure, James?" Sophia asked, doubt starting to fill her eyes.Meanwhile, Merly and Victoria, who knew Alex's real identity, kept silent. For them, the more Sophia doubted, the better. It would be even better if Sophia divorced Alex."I am very sure, Sophia. How do you think a poor guy can have that much money?" James replied with conviction."I heard he saved a royal family during the war," Sophia said, her voice trembling."He's just bullshitting you," James added. "Do you think a thief will honestly tell yo

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

    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
