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.

    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?"

    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

    Alex hurried toward the front door, but before he could even walk down the steps, Ophelia stormed inside, trailed furiously by her mother, Michelle, and her father, Justin.The trio burst into the manor as if it were their own, arrogance dripping from their every move—clearly, this wasn't their first invasion.Instantly, the manor filled with blistering tension, a tempest charged with scorn and disdain.Michelle’s shrill voice sliced through the silence, her words dripping venom." Ophelia you better divorce your husband. Alex Leonhard is worthless sack of shame! He is a stain upon our family name. Divorce him, Ophelia—now! Or your grandmother will toss you straight out of the D’Arcy nobility like garbage!"Ophelia stood unmoved, her voice cool, iron beneath velvet, "If that's her choice, I'll simply live here with Alex.

    Baron Leonhard once ruled over five villages, but now, two had already deserted him—broken by famine, crushed under unbearable taxes, fleeing for their lives.The remaining three clung desperately together, their souls shredded thin, teetering on the brink of collapse.Misfortune had etched itself into their bones, and they cursed the day they were born into this forsaken land.Two years ago, life was tough but tolerable; they were poor but not starving, scraping by day to day, always hoping tomorrow might offer something better.Then, without warning, the Baron emerged from shadows unknown, raising taxes with ruthless indifference, draining them dry like a vampire thirsting for blood.The villagers' whispers grew darker, their hatred sharper, praying nightly for the Baron's swift demise—but as cruel fate would have it, evil had a way of outliving hope.Today began as another hollow morning, the fields barren as their stomachs, empty hands grasping at dust.But today was different, to

    “A gift?” Michael Dunsmore burst out laughing, the sound sharp and cutting, echoing through the garden.“Who the hell do you think you are, Alex? Last I checked, you barely had two miserable villages scraping by on dirt and despair. You've borrowed so much money these past two years, I'm amazed you can still afford your own damn underwear!”Michael’s cruel laughter was shared by the surrounding crowd.His confidence was bolstered by the knowledge of his family's immense wealth—the prestigious Dunsmore clan controlled four prosperous villages, making Alex's poverty an easy target.Though Michael stood next to Olivia, his fiancée, his eyes lingered hungrily on Ophelia D’Arcy.Her radiant beauty eclipsed Olivia's entirely, and it burned him deeply to see such perfection bound to someone as worthless as Alex.Two years prior, Ophelia had fallen gravely ill, her delicate life hanging by a thread.It was Alex who stepped in, with knowledge unknown to others, and saved her life.In gratitude

    Alex stepped warily out of the manor's heavy oak door, pausing to take in the bleakness around him.The mansion had long since crumbled into a shadow of its former glory—ivy twisted relentlessly through cracked stone walls, weeds snarled around the iron gates, and the rotting wooden beams creaked mournfully with each gust of wind.He lingered a moment, wondering bitterly when this forsaken place had last seen a friendly hand or a hopeful heart.He moved down the rutted dirt road, flanked by rows of dilapidated houses whose decay mirrored his own dwindling pride.These were remnants of a once-thriving community now rotted to its bones, a decrepit slum echoing Miracle City’s decay, only deeper, darker, more desperate.The villagers watched him from shadowed doorways, gaunt faces streaked with grime and despair.Their eyes widened in fear, mothers dragging their children indoors at his sight."Strange," Alex murmured, unsettled. "What have I done to deserve such terror?"Suddenly, a hagg

    Pain.Brutal, unbearable pain—like a bullet splintering bone and ripping through flesh.Alex's dream shattered instantly. The whispers and colors vanished, replaced by white-hot agony stabbing through his skull, relentless as an outlaw’s vengeance.He tried to twist free, claw his way awake, but his body was rigid—paralyzed, trapped beneath an invisible weight.I’m still dreaming, he thought desperately, panic clawing at his chest.Maybe I’ll open my eyes and realize it’s all just another cruel illusion.But the pain was too raw, too sharp—too real.Focus. Just wake up.Each thought slipped through his mind like dust kicked up by desert wind.He drifted, helplessly spinning in a storm of chaos.My head hurt so bad?Am I dying?I need to wake up—now!Slowly, the agony dulled into a brutal, throbbing ache.With sheer will, Alex forced himself upright, gasping like a man dragged from deep water.His blurred vision slowly cleared, revealing a luxurious, beautifully furnished study.He was

    “Die! At last, you pathetic worm—you die by my hand!”Eunuch erupted into a frenzied, chilling laughter as he watched the mangled remains explode from his devastating strike.Bits of flesh splattered grotesquely across the ground. Nothing recognizable remained.“Eunuch!” a voice shouted anxiously from below, laced with unease.“Is everything clear up there?”Eunuch surveyed the carnage meticulously, his eyes narrowing with suspicion.There was nothing—no enemy, no traps—completely contradictory to their expectations of an ambush from Miracle City.Only one man. Alex.“All clear! No one left alive!” he called back confidently.Slowly and cautiously, the outlaw elders emerged, ascending from their shadowy refuge, their wary gazes landing on the grisly spectacle.Finally, the Demon King climbed out, a grim shadow cast across his face.“Who was unfortunate enough to meet this gruesome fate?” Van sneered coldly, his eyes lingering with disdain on the shredded remains.“It was Alex—that arr

    Inside the underground heart of the Outlaw’s main fortress, Eunuch doubled over, blood erupting from his throat and spilling violently onto the cold stone floor.“A whole damned week!” he spat bitterly.“And there’s no sign this cursed wound’s ever gonna heal!”He had climbed to legend rank, thinking himself invincible, untouchable—until that young bastard, Alex, activated some wickedly mysterious array, smashing him so savagely that now he could barely muster strength at an early Black Gold rank.Fury darkened Eunuch's eyes as he glared at his handsome young secretary.“Tell me, boy, what the hell is happening outside?”The secretary’s voice trembled as he reported, “Our spies from Miracle City say the king and noble families are still scrambling, desperately plugging the holes left by the Bolton family massacre. They're burying warriors by the dozen. Funerals fill their days; they're tightening defenses, terrified we might strike.”Eunuch laughed coldly, tasting blood again.“Van’s

    But when their forces collided, the impact ripped through Eunuch's body, tearing open flesh and splintering bone.Shock filled his eyes as his skin burst, blood spraying.In desperation, he activated his treasured relics—each one instantly obliterated by the sheer force bearing down on him.Eunuch flew backward, crashing violently through the air before finally stabilizing.He gasped for breath, blood dripping from countless wounds, his pride utterly shattered. Without his treasures, he realized bitterly, he would already be dead.Fear flickered briefly in his eyes, replaced swiftly by grudging respect. “This array...is terrifying,” he murmured, clutching his ravaged chest.Raising his voice, he called to Alex, “You’ve earned my respect. In three months, the Demon King and I await your arrival at Outlaw. Do not disappoint.”Grabbing Van, Eunuch vanished into the horizon.Alex stared grimly after them. He could have stopped them, could have killed them—but the Demon King’s wrath would
