One day before Sophia’s wedding, the entire empire was shocked by the latest news from the front line."The Empire's army, led by Second Prince Christopher, turned successful against the Drakonian Federation. Now, the Drakonian Federation is no more and has been renamed the West Archelion Empire.""They led a very successful military campaign. In just five days, they have total control of all of West Archelion and their borders with Nova, Southern, and Aslan countries."Alexander was sitting in the commanding aircraft, looking at the news with intense eyes."Right as always, Leader," Lavinia said. "You still don't want people to know you and your achievements.""I am the military leader. Once people know me, more assassins will come," Alex said firmly. "The only time I can freely expose my identity is when I control the whole world.""It won't be far away, Sir," Lavinia added with a confident nod. "With controlling West Archelion, we have doubled our military funds and soldiers.""Gre
On the day of the wedding, Grandma Deneuve and the entire Deneuve family were busy.They were calling all the reporters, worried that people might not know that Sophia Deneuve was marrying into the top-ranking noble family.Sophia looked around the royal Ritz hotel, everything feeling surreal. She had always thought she would marry Alex here, but now she was marrying James. Life had taken an unexpected turn.Victoria was becoming the bridesmaid. Inside the room, Sophia looked at Victoria’s happy face.“Are you really going to marry Alex?” Sophia asked.“Why ask?” Victoria responded. “You already divorced him and will soon marry James. Just forget the past.”“Will you be okay?” Sophia asked again. “He is poor.”“Well, although he is poor, my family is quite rich, and the most important thing is my father agrees with my choice. Not like you, your whole family rejected Alex.”“You are right.” Sophia replied sadly.“Don’t think too much. James is from a first-rank family and a noble. Your
Alex was on the single-use special aircraft, calling Lavinia, his personal assistant."Lavinia, where are you right now?""I am already at the Royal Ritz Hotel, sir. And there is a problem here that needs your attention," Lavinia said."Don't worry, I will arrive there in 10 minutes. I will solve the problem when I get there. For now, can you help me? Ask Keaton to prepare a place to land the plane on Royal Ritz Hotel.""Yes, sir, I will wait for you with Keaton.""Thanks."Alex was in a hurry as the meeting with the minister was taking longer than he thought.As he started to approach the Royal Ritz Hotel, he saw Keaton, the CEO of the Royal Ritz Hotel, had returned and activated the automatic detection landing for the plane.The device on the ground would connect with the aircraft detection system and ensure an automatic landing with precision, helping to smooth the landing.When he landed his private plane, he was shocked to see many people in the back garden of the Royal Ritz Hote
Alex saw some people he knew and they wanted to stand and salute, but he secretly signaled for everyone to stay seated. The people, including the general, remained in their chairs.He walked to the front, approaching James and Sophia.“Toilet fixer! What are you doing here? Get out from here!” Grandma Lancaster yelled angrily. “Don’t cause trouble at their wedding!”Tommy also stepped forward. “Alex, Sophia has divorced you. You don’t have any right to be here. Please leave.”But Alex ignored him and walked past Tommy.“Jerry, drag that person away,” Grandma commanded.Jerry tried to tackle Alex, but with a quick movement, Alex launched a swift hit, knocking Jerry out instantly. Jerry couldn't do anything to stop Alex's advance.“Guards, guards!” Grandma Deneuve yelled, calling for security. As the guards rushed in, Keaton was already in the room, commanding the guards to back off.Grandma Deneuve was furious, realizing no one could remove Alex.“What is happening here?” Alex asked, s
Fifteen minutes ago, George Spencer was in a private meeting with the Blackwood governor when Alex stopped the wedding.Preston quickly looked to his father for help.After explaining that Alex dared to stop the wedding, even the governor, who wanted to get into George's good graces for the pie of Blackwood mega project, yelled, “Show me who this man is! I will kick him out of Blackwood!”Together, they walked to the Sophia’s wedding venue, missing the Peter Roskov tragedy.As soon as George saw Alex, he yelled, “I am the General Manager of the Eden Group! How dare you stop my son's wedding!”A fat man approached Alex with arrogance. “You dare to stop my adopted son's wedding? Do you know who I am?”“No, I don’t,” Alex replied coldly. “And do you know who I am?”The fat man laughed. “I don’t need to know who you are, but you need to know, I am the Governor of Blackwood.”“Not anymore.” Alex said in a sharp tone.“Very funny. Do you think you can remove me from my position?” The fat ma
Ivan's hand jerked as a bullet hit his shoulder, his gun clattering to the floor.Alex stood with his gun smoking, having fired the shot just in time to save Victoria's father.At the same moment, many people in the room were already drawing their handguns, especially the military general and their bodyguards.This caused James, Sophia’s classmate, and the other non-military people to look fearful as suddenly many handguns were aimed at Ivan Romanov.As Alex kept his gun on his back, everyone followed suit and returned to their seats, hiding their guns once again.Victoria was already in shock, wondering if this was a wedding venue or a cowboy bar, with more than half the people here carrying guns."Arrest him," Alex commanded, his voice icy. "No one is above the law, not even nobles. Make sure to check him thoroughly."Keaton's guards swiftly moved in, securing Ivan Romanov and taking him away.Alex sighed and looked at Sophia. "Any other problems?" he asked."No," Victoria added.So
One year after the conquest of the West Empire, Alex sat in the luxury living room with Lily White, his new wife.Her mother, father, and even her sisters were all there. The entire White family stared at him.“Alex,” Rosemary White, Lily’s mother, said. “We were happy when you married Lily one year ago, but after we think again, it is time for you two to divorce.”"Another divorce," Alex mused with heavy sighed.He suddenly remembered what Lavinia had told him a year ago.“Sir, a long time ago, I saw a movie with heroes like Superman, Spiderman, Ironman, and many other superheroes. They are all perfect, powerful, and rich, but they all have one simple curse, just like you,” Lavinia had said.“What is that?” he had asked.“Their love life sucks!”Alex didn't want to believe that. He could marry any girl he wanted, but he only desired one like his mother.When his father was incognito, his mother married him despite their poverty, and they faced all hardships together.Their love remai
Rosemary laughed, her eyes glinting with malice. "Believe me, you will never get anything better than my daughter. And you are not leaving, you are kicked out because Lily deserves a better guy than you."Alex didn't want to escalate anything and quietly walked out.Lily watched Alex's back, her heart heavy. She couldn't help herself and asked, "Mother, do you think it's right to divorce Alex?""Why do you ask? Between a lowly soldier of the Empire and Ethan Gavin, who's from the second-ranked wealthy family, why do you even need to think? The answer is so clear.""It just isn't ethical. Alex is a good person." Lily whispered."Remember, good people always lose to rich people! A good person can't feed you well.""But since Alex joined our family, our business has suddenly gotten better.""So what? Do you think the lowly soldier is the reason our family is doing well? Do you think he's a fortunate boy? What I know is if you marry Ethan, our family will get even better!"Lily fell silen
