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
Alex arrived at the Los Angeles Mayo Hospital.Despite his low-rank soldier uniform, Ava treated him politely. She led him to the VIP Ward, where two bodyguards at the entrance bowed slightly to Ava before allowing them to enter.Inside, Alex saw an old man lying on the bed, hooked up to a modern machine monitoring his heartbeat and pulse.The man's lips were blue, and he was struggling just to breathe. Alex approached the man, Lucas Sharp, the leader of the Sharp group.He touched Lucas's wrist and allowed his inner energy to cycle through Lucas's body, quickly identifying the clotted blood caused by poison."What do you think?" Ava asked, her voice tinged with worry."He is poisoned by a slow-release toxin. I bet it was administered by someone close to him," Alex replied."Can you help my father?" Ava's face turned panic-stricken."I think I can, but I need some equipment. Can you provide it?""What is it? We'll find it," Ava's face brightened with hope. All the doctors had already
"You," Eva called out to Alex, her voice trembling with suppressed rage. "You better treat my father well, or I will kill you."Alex's eyes turned cold, a dark anger flickering within them; he never liked being threatened. "Then I don't want to try anymore. I'm sorry, I'm just wasting my time here."With that, Alex turned and began to walk out of the ward.Ava hastily grabbed Alex's hand, desperation evident in her eyes. "Please, don’t listen to my twin sister. Please try your best to help my father. Just do your best, it’s okay with whatever the result.""Ava," Eva began, but Ava quickly cut her off."Eva, shut your mouth. If you open it again, I will walk out with him and let you handle all of this. Later, I will tell the big family you prevented Father from being treated. See what they will say.""He doesn't look reliable," Eva protested, her voice wavering."Then start fucking find someone reliable in these 24 hours! All you've brought is this fucking doctor who can't do anything!
Eva, tears streaming down her face, clutched at her sister. "Ava, what do we do?"Alex, hearing Ava scream, opened his eyes and saw the chaos unfolding.He rushed to Lucas’s side, assessing the situation quickly. "Everyone, step back!" he commanded.With precise and swift movements, Alex started reinserting the needles. The room fell into a tense silence as Alex worked, his hands moving deftly. And sweat appeared on Alex forehead.Gradually, Lucas’s breathing steadied, and the vomiting ceased. The color began to return to his skin.Ava’s shoulders slumped with relief. "Thank you, Alex," she whispered, her voice breaking.Alex face serious, glaring at Raymond and his doctor. Raymond glared back without fear. "This isn’t over," he muttered under his breath.In front of everyone, Alex took his communication device and made a video call to the Governor."Alex, how is it going there?" the Governor asked on the video call."Sir, I want to give a report. As you instructed, I'm trying to heal
