"It's perfectly normal that you can't feel his power. He possesses greater strength than you, but he can't discern that I, too, am an expert in martial arts. In fact, he belongs to a lower stage," Isabel explained, her face adorned with a smile.

Curious, Alexander inquired, "Oh, so there are different stages in martial arts?"

"Yes, young master," Isabel responded.

She proceeded, expanding on the topic, "There are multiple stages in martial arts, such as the Novice stage, Disciple stage, Warrior stage, and Guardian stage, among others. Within each stage, there are three levels. For example, in the Novice stage, we have the lower, mid, and peak levels. This pattern persists across all the stages."

Impressed by this revelation, Alexander exclaimed, "Wow, that's fascinating! So, at which stage are you currently?"

Beaming with pride, Isabel proudly declared, "I have reached the Peak level of the Warrior Stage. The Baker expert, on the other hand, is at the Disciple stage."

    Amidst the enveloping darkness, a flicker of light pierced through, revealing a room where Alexander found himself standing alone. However, within moments, his eyes fell upon the figure of Emily, standing before him.Puzzled, Alexander frowned and queried, "Why are you here?"Instantly, Emily dropped to her knees, tears streaming down her face, as she fervently pleaded, "Please, Alexander, find it in your heart to forgive me. I never intended to cause you any harm. I now realize the gravity of my foolishness and how poorly I treated you, despite your boundless love."Torn between his lingering affection for her and doubts about genuine change, Alexander hesitated to respond. Would she truly transform and mend her ways?In the next instant, the scene shifted abruptly, and Alexander found himself seated in a lavish building, adorned with opulence befitting immense wealth. As he basked in his affluence, a servant hurried into the room, delivering unsettling news."Young master, as per yo

    Alexander's reflexes were swift as he skillfully dodged the attack. His agility was attributed to his new status as a martial arts cultivator. Had he not possessed those abilities, he would not have been able to react so quickly.Isabel expressed her determination, "That aura is familiar. Its the Baker family's expert. Since he dares trace us here, let me end him right now, young master."Alexander dismissed her offer with a wave of his hand and a shake of his head, saying, "There's no need for you to do that. He and I are both of the same rank now. He can serve as a training opponent for me."The expert from the Baker family, a middle aged man, entered the scene and sat down with a chuckle, "Hahaha, such arrogance! A mere ordinary girl and a newcomer to the Peak level of the Disciple realm want to face me? However, it's surprising that I didn't sense an aura of a martial arts cultivator from you in the restaurant."With a confident smile, Alexander sat across from him and replied, "Y

    Nameless collapsed to the ground, worsening his injuries. In that moment, he didn't feel the pain. Instead, he was overwhelmed by shock and surprise."Are you kidding?" Nameless asked Alexander, his voice filled with disbelief.With a serious expression, Alexander replied, "I'm not joking. I have no intention of humiliating you. I'm simply telling you the truth."Nameless bit his tongue to make sure he wasn't dreaming. First, he encountered Isabel, a younger girl who turned out to be stronger than him. And now, the blow that hit him the hardest was the fact that Alexander had just started cultivating today and was already on the same level as him. This achievement was reserved for the exceptionally talented.Only Isabel could understand what he was feeling. After all, she felt that way seeing Alexander leap through several stages.Ignoring his pain, Nameless stood up and bowed to Alexander without a hint of hesitation. "I will follow you from now on," he declared. He believed Alexander

    "What is it, Miss Baker?" Tom inquired, curiosity evident in his voice.With a pleasant smile, Helen responded, "I have a proposition for you, Tom. I want you to join my side and work for me."Tom's face lit up with a smile, his interest piqued. "That sounds intriguing. But what's in it for me?"Helen replied confidently, "By aligning yourself with the Baker family, you gain the most powerful shield of protection. Moreover, I promise to assist you in defeating the other underground bosses, cementing your dominance in this realm."She continued, delving deeper into her proposal, "I am aware of your close friendship with Arthur, but you aren't his subordinate. So there is no harm in collaborating with me. Frankly, I find it surprising that Arthur hasn't fully recognized and appreciated your strength. To solidify our agreement, we can even formalize it with a contract, if you have any doubts." Helen placed a meticulously prepared document on the table."Alright," Tom agreed, his curiosity

    Helen signaled to the man who held Tom's wife, indicating that he should take her away. A chair was brought for her, and she sat down. Bald Liu stood behind her, smoking a cigarette. With a smile on her face, she glanced at Tom and said, "I knew you wouldn't surrender completely. Unfortunately, you have a more intelligent subordinate. He pleaded with me not to kill your wife because of how well you've treated him in the past. However, he also recognized that none of you are more powerful than me and chose to surrender. Only a wise man would do that."Tom let out a sigh. Bald Liu's betrayal had deeply affected him. Despite being his subordinate, Tom considered Bald Liu to be like a brother, but Bald Liu had stabbed him in the back in pursuit of more power.Bald Liu spoke, "Tom, I understand that you might hate me, but I did this for us. We don't have enough power to challenge her. Furthermore, by aligning ourselves with her, we can dominate the underground world of Fairview. Why not fol

    Alexander quickly deduced the true identity of the old man, prompting him to respectfully bow in his direction. On the other hand, Isabel felt a mixture of fear and concern, but she was willing to sacrifice her own life to protect Alexander if these individuals intended to harm him.With a stern expression, Alexander addressed Hasen directly, seeking to understand his intentions. "What do you want?" he inquired.Hasen's lips curled into a smile as he casually wiped his mouth. "As I mentioned before, I was hoping for a more formidable opponent in you, but it seems I may have overestimated your abilities. Nonetheless, I'll consider you a challenge simply due to your true identity."Alexander attempted to interject, but Hasen dismissed him with a wave of his hand.Observing Alexander being disrespected infuriated Isabel, and she was on the verge of taking action. However, a single glance from the old man exerted a tremendous amount of pressure on her, causing her to struggle against it.

    As Isabel stepped down from the car, she smiled.The man smirked confidently, underestimating Isabel's abilities. "Ah, the little girl wants to play," he taunted, his voice dripping with arrogance. "I hope you're prepared to be defeated."Although he couldn't discern Isabel's realm, he didn't care much as he assumed she must be weaker. Just as Isabel was about to step forward, Alexander intervened, reminding her of the Hasen situation."You remember the Hasen situation, right?" Alexander asked.Isabel nodded, her recollection clear."I have to get stronger, and that means pushing myself to the limits and not giving up," Alexander continued.Isabel replied hesitantly, "But..."Alexander interrupted her, determined to make his point. "Do you want to see me lose to Hasen? This is one way to improve my capabilities."Without saying anything else, Alexander ran quickly towards his enemy, barely noticing his injuries from previous fights. The smell of adrenaline filled the air as he attacke

    Helen, who was sitting in the car, experienced a surge of fear that filled her mind. In the past, she had harbored feelings of satisfaction at the mere thought of Alexander's demise, but now her emotions had taken an unexpected turn. She no longer wished for him to die, and this conflicting realization left her in a bewildered state.Amidst the chaos, Alexander gasped for breath, barely able to speak as he whispered, "Even if the physical body dies, as long as the mind endures, the Warrior never truly dies." These words carried a profound meaning.As Alexander's eyes began to close, a fleeting moment passed, and suddenly, a faint golden light started emanating from his battered form. The unexpected sight captured the attention of both his adversary and Isabel, their expressions filled with surprise and fascination."He's breaking through!" the man exclaimed, his face contorted with anger. "He's using me as a mere stepping stone in his pursuit of greater power!" Fueled by outrage, he l

    THE END

    The onslaught of attacks was directed at Alexander, but rather peculiarly, it appeared as though they merely struck an invisible barrier before vanishing into thin air. This unexpected turn of events washed over Isabelle with a profound sense of relief, momentarily alleviating her apprehensions. However, her newfound comfort was abruptly replaced by a more profound sense of concern as she observed Alexander, who remained motionless, with his eyes firmly shut in an unsettling manner."Young Master!" Isabelle cried out once more, her voice trembling with anxiety, but there was still no sign of response from him.Notifying Lord Pluto and the rest of the group, she swiftly attempted to rush to Alexander's aid. However, an insurmountable obstacle barred her path, a formidable and turbulent force akin to an unyielding gale, effectively halting her advance.In a synchronized effort, both Captain Tiger and Captain Skeleton also endeavored to reach Alexander's side, but they, too, found the

    Alexander wore a confident smile as he responded, "In the event of a clash between our forces, the outcome would undoubtedly be in our favor. While it's true that both of our factions possess great strength, the critical distinction lies in my approach. I don't merely seek personal power; I am dedicated to empowering my people. Behind me stand formidable martial artists and skilled weapon users, all contributing to our collective might."Captain Tiger guffawed heartily in response, "Our troops, in essence, serve as expendable pawns and sacrificial lambs – or, to put it bluntly, they're our meatshields. As leaders, it's our duty for our people to be willing to lay down their lives for us. The caveat is that we rely on their sacrifices to keep our operations afloat. Yet, as long as Captain Skeleton and I maintain our personal strength, it's sufficient to strike fear into our adversaries. This, in turn, ensures that our men don't meet their end quite so easily."With a sarcastic clap, Al

    Alexander observed as Lord Pluto and his companions rose from the ground. Approaching them, he inquired, "Do you find yourselves persuaded?"Lord Pluto responded with a nod, lowering his head in acknowledgment. "Completely convinced," he affirmed.Terry and Townsend also signaled their agreement with affirmative nods. Isabelle, on the other hand, didn't need to express her belief; she had unwaveringly trusted Alexander from the beginning.Having settled the matter, Alexander addressed Isabelle with determination, saying, "There's no time for extensive preparations. Gather our people; we must march to battle immediately. Today, we shall seize control of Rhode Island."Isabelle responded with a nod, her smile reflecting her readiness, and she swiftly dispatched Terry and Townsend to carry out the orders.Alexander then turned to Lord Pluto, acknowledging the urgency, and said, "I'm certain your people are already preparing. Instead of coming here, they should head straight to where the

    Upon disembarking from the vehicle alongside Lord Pluto, Alexander was met with a chorus of salutes from the newly formed merger of the Xander Mercenaries, their respect palpable in the air.With a gracious smile adorning his face, Alexander returned the salute to his loyal comrades. Meanwhile, a quartet of individuals, comprising Isabelle, Damien, Terry, and Townsend, made their way toward the charismatic duo of Alexander and Lord Pluto.Isabelle, ever conscious of the company present, initially exhibited a degree of restraint in her demeanor, but Alexander, driven by the warmth of their reunion, paid no heed to the onlookers and proceeded to embrace Isabelle, reaffirming their strong bond.He gently murmured into her ear, "You've put in a tremendous amount of effort," his words soft and reassuring. After sharing a heartfelt embrace that lasted for approximately two minutes, he released her from their warm hug. Isabelle found herself inundated with a whirlwind of emotions, yet she

    "What one?" Alexander inquired, his brow furrowing in confusion as he struggled to grasp the gravity of Lord Pluto's words.In response, Lord Pluto's voice carried a somber tone as he recounted a past conversation, "During our initial encounter, Isabelle shared her audacious ambition with me – to conquer Rhode Island and emerge as the dominant power. I warned her that the existing peak forces in the region were formidable, and it seemed an insurmountable task, but she remained resolute."With a weary sigh, Lord Pluto continued to divulge, "I've taken precautionary measures since then; I've summoned my loyal followers and fortified my territory to shield it from external influences. It's not that I plan to betray them, but I'm not willing to jeopardize my life either so it's better i remain on the sidelines. Isabelle once mentioned that if her young master were present, dealing with these forces would be a breeze. Seeing you, you appear quite ordinary, which makes me wonder if she exag

    ARE YOU THE ONE?

    Alexander found himself escorted by a group of heavily armed men who guided him through the encampment, ultimately leading him to their authoritative figure. The commanding presence he met was none other than Lord Pluto, the formidable leader of the Plutonian Force whom Isabelle was familiar with it.The Plutonian Force, the mercenary force that had recently isolated themselves and had strategically fortified their encampment, shutting themselves off from external affairs. Yet, the part of the coast where Alexander had made his unexpected arrival fell within their territory.Curiously, this region had been left less guarded, as the Plutonians didn't anticipate any visitors attempting to access their territory by sea, considering the treacherous waters teeming with wildlife posed a significant deterrent.So it was truly a surprise to see Alexander come from there.It was a genuine shock to witness Alexander emerge from that particular location."Kneel!" In a tense moment, one of the a

    Alexander approached Freya with a graceful stride, lowering his head in a polite bow as he spoke, "I extend my heartfelt gratitude."He then turned his attention to Uncle Three and performed a similar courteous gesture, expressing his appreciation, "Thank you for your assistance."Uncle Three, a jovial twinkle in his eye, replied with a chuckle, "Oh, I didn't really contribute much. Had it not been for this powerful lady here, my second brother might have persisted."Alexander's lips curled into a warm smile, his appreciation unwavering, "Nevertheless, your decision to come here alone carries great significance."Uncle Three acknowledged the gravity of the situation with a nod, "I understand that you have important matters to discuss with her. I'll take my leave now, leaving you to your conversation."Alexander gave a subtle nod, his eyes locked on Uncle Three as his figure slowly faded from view. Before Alexander could utter a word, Freya's voice resonated with a mix of understandin

    FINAL BATTLE WITH SILAS 2

    Uncle Three experienced a profound sense of shame due to Freya's words. Despite his unwavering faith in Alexander, he couldn't deny that Alexander's opponent possessed superior skills and abilities. Nevertheless, he made a deliberate choice to maintain his silence, mirroring Freya's stance. Uncle Three harbored an unspoken commitment that if ever Alexander found himself in mortal peril, he would instantly and unhesitatingly rush to his aid, ready to face any danger to protect his young master.Alexander and Silas remained entangled in their fierce battle. In this latest skirmish, the formidable force of their clash propelled Alexander, once more, to be forcefully hurled to the unforgiving ground. However, instead of immediately pursuing his fallen opponent, Silas chose to bide his time and observe, patiently allowing Alexander to rise on his own accord. Silas anticipated the moment of vulnerability that would arise when his adversary got back on his feet, ready to seize any opportu

    FINAL BATTLE WITH SILAS 1

    Deep within the recesses of Uncle Two's mind, an intense desire burned within him, one he could scarcely admit even to himself. It was a wish, a sinister yearning, to violently dismantle Freya's world and force her to witness his merciless confrontation with Alexander. This desire was so powerful that it coursed through his every thought, yet he refrained from acting on it.Two primary reasons compelled Uncle Two to exercise caution. Firstly, he was unable to ascertain the true extent of Freya's abilities or her connections, leaving him in the dark regarding the potential consequences of his actions. Secondly, an overwhelming, ominous pressure seemed to emanate from Freya herself, a formidable force that served as a stark deterrent.Despite the fervent desire to bring Alexander to an end, Uncle Two cherished his own life, a natural instinct that whispered warnings of the grave dangers lurking should he tread recklessly on this treacherous path.
