Dominance of the Forgotten God of War
Alex Verlaine was a walking, talking blood-bag who only existed to donate plasma to his ailing brother-in-law. His selfless love for his wife is repaid by betrayal and his sacrifices mocked and ridiculed by his mother-in-law.
But when Alex discovers his wife never loved him and is already in the arms of another man, he casts his veil aside and reveals his true identity as the Legendary Miracle Maker.
They treated him like a servant, now he is back to make them kneel like slaves.
They called him a penniless loser, only to discover that he was the wealthiest man in Alexandria.
"Just who are you really?" Felicia asked in a trembling voice, her face rapidly losing color.
Alex looked into her hazel eyes and breathed like a man possessed, "I am the God you will kneel to from tonight, or watch your whole world burn to ash. I am Alexandria's beating heart, and the only one who can save your dying brother."
Felicia clasped her hands, falling to her knees in submission. "Please forgive me. I was wrong to insult you. My family needs you. Please give me another chance!"
Alex grabbed her face, squeezing her flushed cheeks, and whispered in a husky voice, "Then beg me like you mean it!"

Chapter: 286. Lord of DeathInside Herbert’s old cabin in Reddington Towers, Jack was ready to begin the second round of interrogations with Raziya.“I’ll admit that you are a tough nut to crack. But you are still just a woman with all your feminine frailties. You just need the right amount of pain to yield,” he whispered coldly as he laid out the instruments of torture on the austere steel table with the precision of a surgeon.Raziya glanced at the switchblades and pliers lined out like troops and scoffed, “That’s a weird fetish you got there. I am guessing you must be pretty terrible in bed. No wonder you are always skipping around like a frustrated bunny.”Jack merely smirked at her insults.“I am going to enjoy extracting every ounce of agony from you till you beg me to stop,” he said, picking up the pair of old pliers. “I am going to ask you again. Who do you work for?”Raziya rolled her eyes and grinned. “You are going to find out soon enough. Just be patient, darling.”Jack finally lost his calm and grab

Chapter: 285. All geared upHerbert tried his best to contain the news of the assassinations within the walls of his cabin to prevent a meltdown. But the hasty evacuations and tightened security arrangements put everyone on edge.The Associates already knew something was wrong as they had suddenly lost contact with their top Agents on the field.And they knew it was highly unlikely all eight veterans had gone into hiding without permission.Panic surged in the cyber room as the Associates contacted the Spies for more information.Disturbing reports of daylight killings started pouring in from every corner of Glenmonte. And soon every computer screen lit up with gory images of the dead assassins who had been taken out with perfect headshots.Even though the highly-trained associates were accustomed to staring at dead people, this was the first time they were looking at their own Agents instead of the contract targets.The buzz of chatter soon drowned the constant beeping of cellphones and fax machines.“What’s go

Chapter: 284. Ghost ProtocolHerbert’s gray eyebrows lifted as the call disconnected. He was expecting a tamer response from the other end, but Alex’s defiant reply gave him plenty of reason to adopt caution.“Who was it? A handler from the rival agency?” Jack asked.“He says he’s not. He says he is a target we failed to eliminate,” Herbert replied, snapping Raziya’s flip phone shut. “Either he was lying, or we are dealing with a man who is out for revenge.”“If it’s a rival agency, we might need to be a bit more cautious,” Jack advised.“You guys are really thicker than a sack of rotten potatoes,” Raziya scoffed from behind. “There is no rival agency involved. There never was. It was just a neat lie to get you to meet Marcus in person.”Jack’s eyes widened at the mention of that name, and he instantly connected the dots, figuring out the whole picture.“It was you. That biker who raced past my car last night.”“And you led me straight to your base of operations,” Raziya chuckled. “I honestly thought it would be

Chapter: 283. Compromised“Ough!”Feeling a searing pain shooting up her arms, Raziya opened her eyes to find herself in a dimly lit room which smelt of rusted iron and soggy, old cardboard.As she gradually came to her senses, she realized her feet were tied together and her arms cuffed by iron chains attached to a rope hanging from the ceiling.Suspended two feet above the ground, with a rope gagging her mouth, all she could do was moan and wiggle. But the more she struggled to break free, the more it hurt.Finally, after ten minutes, the door opened, and she squinted as the bright light nearly blinded her.“I see you are awake already. Terribly sorry for the lack of hospitality,” A cold voice cut in as a gray-haired man wearing rimless glasses stepped in. “I believe introductions are in order. My name is Herbert Wayne. But people here know me as the Hound. What’s yours?”“Mhmp!” Raziya groaned through her binds, biting hard upon the ropes securing her mouth.“Almost forgot.” Herbert carefully pulled the rop

Chapter: 282. In the spider’s webRaziya took the elevator to the third floor, and after confirming that the security cameras were still down, she snuck up to the door and swiped the guard’s access card on the smart lock.The light blinked twice before turning a solid green, and the door clicked open.“Nice job trying to keep me out. I know my way around.”Smirking at their pathetic security, Raziya slipped past the door and walked across the covered glass skyway to reach the highly restricted tower B.Another door stood in her way, but she pulled out her hairpin and jimmied the lock open effortlessly.“I guess you guys ran out of technology. Must have been a tight budget,” she sneered, walking right in.A narrow corridor led her to a designated cyberspace. The cameras on the door were still blinking red, and it allowed her to get closer without raising any alarms.As Raziya carefully pushed the door open, she discovered the dark truth lurking under the consultancy’s fake business.It wasn’t a normal office on the oth

Chapter: 281. Preying Mantis“Open the hell up and come outside!” the guard shouted from outside, his heavy frame pushing against the stubborn wooden door. “That room’s locked for a purpose! I swear, when I get my hands on you, I’m going to thrash you through the streets!”Raziya pulled out a curved knife from inside her socks and put on her most vulnerable expression.“Please don’t hurt me!” she cried like a lost lamb. “It’s my first day in here. One of the cleaners told me to clean this room, but she locked me in here when I stepped inside. I swear I’m not lying!”“What?” The guard’s voice quickly softened as he heard the muffled cries coming from the other side.Raziya was whimpering like a lost pup, her eyes already lined with glycerin to enhance the effect.“I…think they just wanted to prank me. But I don’t want to lose my job. You’ve got to help me, please,” she pleaded, her voice quivering and small.It didn’t take long for the guard outside to fall for her act.Pushing hard against the door, he slammed it

Chapter: Choose your fate“I never really thought the boy had it in him to keep going after he lost his home,” someone observed in a calm, benevolent voice. “I must admit his resilience is quite impressive for a mortal. Were it anyone else in his shoes, the ending would have been a lot different.”“I knew there was something about him right from the day he was born. Alas, his mother never got the chance to see him grow up,” a feminine voice stated wistfully. “The question remains, what must we do with him now?” the male voice questioned.“I think it is time to leave the choice in his hands,” a second feminine voice spoke aloud. “Wake up, my dear child. Your mortal troubles cannot touch you here. Wake up and choose.”Groggy and disoriented, Ezra slowly parted his eyelids and immediately squinted as the bright white light flooding the room smarted his eyes. Still dizzy and weak, he somehow rolled over and gasped.“Where am I? What happened?” “You are safe inside the Hall of Wandering Souls,” a measured feminine

Chapter: Sins of Thy Father“The hour of darkness descends upon this world like a shroud, and the bleeding moon beckons the Lord of Decay to reclaim his lost domain. Come forth and ascend the throne of darkness, my Lord!”Ezra’s heart pounded inside his chest like a caged animal, and his head throbbed in pain as he heard muffled words shouted in the distance. Lying in a bloody puddle on the black marble floor, he parted his droopy eyelids and saw Lord Wilhelm standing behind the altar and Lady Lillian facing him on the other side.Though Tanya’s face was hidden from view, Ezra could see her supple white fingers tingling as her delicate arm dangled from the stone altar. She was still alive, but Lord Wilhelm was already anointing the ceremonial dagger forged from infernal obsidian and preparing to plunge it into her heart.“You…cannot do it. You need the crimson moon to…summon Zepheroth,” Ezra said, fighting the pain.“The hour of our Lord is nigh. And all celestials shall obey his will,” Lord Wilhelm continued cha

Chapter: Heroes never winThe enchanted nock gun vibrated with elemental energy as Jasenki loaded it with enchanted rounds. The glyphs carved into its stock shimmered and dazzled as he aimed at Ezra.“Scream for me, Ezra!” Jasenki yelled, pulling the trigger.Bang! Fwoom!A fiery barrage lit up the dark pavilion as fifteen fireballs erupted from the silver-dusted barrels. The first hit burned Ezra’s left sleeve, setting his tattered leather jacket ablaze, and the rest of the fireballs charred his white shirt, burning his skin.“This gun was forged by the best Gunsmiths in Stonewell, and enchanted with the rarest of ancient glyphs. No one can withstand its power!”Jasenki reloaded his weapon and fired again, unleashing another flaming barrage.But this time, a barrier of flames erupted around Ezra, cocooning him within an elemental shell.All fifteen fireballs exploded into sparks as they collided with the flame barrier, leaving Ezra unharmed.“Damn you, Ezra. Keep trying your tricks and see how long you can su

Chapter: Lovers in CrimeEzra looked at the two Spectral Companions hovering behind Jasenki and Cecilia and realized these spirits weren’t obtained from their ancestral artifacts. “I see you have abandoned your family relics,” he said, carefully analyzing the two specters with his Dragon Eye skill. “These spectral entities are gifts from the Lord of Decay,” Jasenki replied, raising his head with arrogance. “I bet you have never encountered anything so powerful before.”“Go on, Ezra. Call your little Spectral Basilisk, and let us see if it can stand up to our companions,” Cecilia mocked, casting a disdainful glance at Ezra’s tattered brown jacket and muddy black boots. “You still look as beggarly as before. I suppose some things never change. I am so glad I rejected you when I did.”Suddenly, Ezra’s eyes glinted, and his pupils brightened with a bright blue flame that blazed with magic energy. The scar on his chest glowed through his shirt, revealing his true power.Reaching inside his jacket, Ezra pulled out

Chapter: Hour of JudgmentFollowing the glowing trail left behind by the Spectral Beholder, Ezra avoided the rot vines squirming in the mire, and the Medallion of Purity hanging over his chest shielded him from the swamp's corrupting influence.Dark geysers erupted around Ezra, spewing molten tar several feet in the air and filling the swamp with a sulfurous haze. The choking odor brought tears to his eyes, but he pushed on through the vaporous veil.The Spectral Beholder led Ezra to a small patch of dry land surrounded by rotting oak trees. As he stepped onto the elevated mound, he spotted a fiery blue orb floating in the distance.Ten more orbs appeared out of thin air, floating through the foggy darkness. At first glance, they looked like glowing power crystals, but as Ezra took a closer look, he realized these orbs weren’t floating crystals or fireflies, but Elven Wisps.The Elven Wisps were unique spectral entities only found in the Violet Everglades. Unlike Banshees and Spectral Wraiths, the Elven Wisps w

Chapter: Lady of the SwampA weary traveler lost inside the Violet Everglades was an easy prey for the creatures of the dark, and Ezra had just encountered one such nefarious entity. But instead of fear, his eyes lit up with a strange hopefulness.“You called out to me in Tanya’s voice, so you must have seen her passing through. Point me toward the Fountain of Chaos, and I won’t kill you,” he spoke in a cold, emotionless voice, without even turning to look at the creature creeping toward him.The creature laughed at his words and rushed through the darkness, moving like a shadow to play with his mind. Her voice echoed from different directions as she disappeared like smoke and danced around Ezra.“You are in my home, youngling. The dark ones told me you’d be coming,” she cackled. “But you won’t be walking out alive. So, forget about your friend and save yourself if you can!”As Ezra stood there motionless, a howling shadow rushed past him and gathered on a dry patch of grass overgrown with violet tulips that glo

Chapter: A delicate friendshipAs Zi Han and his friends left the restaurant, Feng Xiao thanked him for the treat and wished him good luck for this upcoming match. “I am confident that you can pull off another magnificent win, but you must find your edge before the match begins,” he advised, before bidding him good night.Once the boys had left, Bridgette and Daisy cosied up to Zi Han again.“It’s already too late. My house is pretty far from here,” Bridgette said, making a puppy face at him. “You wouldn’t mind if we spent the night at your place, would you?”“I…could just drop you off if you—”“I told you he doesn’t consider us as his friends,” Daisy cut in, pulling Bridgette by her arm. “Zi Han still thinks we are trying to take advantage of his kindness.”“I understand.” Bridgette looked away and turned to go. “Wait. It’s nothing like that!” Zi Han called them back. “You can stay the night. I have plenty of extra rooms at my place.”Bridgette smiled faintly, with her back still toward Zi Han. Her act had foole

Chapter: The Oriental ConnectionZi Han read the name again before glancing at the details scribbled under it. Ingrid wasn’t just a smart businesswoman, but a cultivator as well. And shockingly enough, her Sacred Art was also Elemental Manipulation.“Do you know why I asked Bridgette to suggest this restaurant for our celebration?” Feng Xiao asked.Zi Han’s brow furrowed, and his voice turned dead serious as he looked at Feng Xiao. “Why?”Feng Xiao leaned over the table and whispered, “Because your opponent owns Oriental Delights. She uses the restaurant to source rare ingredients required for brewing her most potent potions. It’s an easy way to keep things out of the public eye and conduct business with utmost secrecy.”Zi Han couldn’t believe that Ingrid not only owned a restaurant in Zhuxin but also carried out her secret business deals right under their noses. It was just the perfect front for smuggling rare herbs and spices without causing a stir.All this new information made Zi Han realize that even though the

Chapter: Flipping the scriptLisa’s wild accusation infuriated the manager. He couldn’t believe a mere waitress like her could insult such a high-profile customer.“That's enough! You’re fired! Don’t freaking show your face in this restaurant again!” he shouted, showing her the door.“But I did read them the menu!” Lisa cried out indignantly. “Just listen to her lie. She has been standing here like a mute mannequin for ten minutes now,” Bridgette joined in, taking Zi Han’s side. More than defending her friend, she enjoyed watching the lowly waitress make a fool of herself in front of the manager.Even Yutai and Lefan got in on the game without any invitation.“I don’t think a waitress has been this rude to us before,” Yutai said.“Perhaps she is too lazy to attend tables,” Lefan quipped. “I am surprised more people haven’t complained about her till now.”Seeing all her friends joining the fun, even Daisy got down and dirty.“You should teach your waitress how to behave with customers. She is the most obnoxious an

Chapter: What goes around, comes around“Why the hell are you staring at Han like you’ve never seen a good-looking guy in your whole life?” Daisy scoffed, giving Lisa the condescending side-eye.Bridgette noticed Lisa’s shell-shocked expression as well. But she couldn’t tell if she was genuinely astounded by Zi Han’s appearance or if it was something else.“Hello!” She snapped her fingers in front of Lisa. “Aren’t you supposed to greet the guests and guide them to their table?”“I think this one is still under training,” Yutai sneered. “We should ask for another waitress who knows basic etiquette.”Lisa quickly came back to her senses and snapped out of her stupor. “I am so sorry. I just thought your friend looked awfully familiar to someone I used to know.”“Who was this friend of yours?” Zi Han asked, stepping forward. “Tell me about this friend. Did he used to work here with you?”At first, Lisa had thought she was just thinking too much, but hearing Zi Han’s voice, she realized it wasn’t a case of mistaken identity. This

Chapter: A dish best served coldBefore the next lecture could start, Zi Han excused himself and walked out of the classroom. Making his way to a quiet corner overlooking the cafeteria, he dialed Chef Roland’s number.“Hello. Who is this?”Since Zi Han had switched to a private number, the chef had no idea who was calling. However, since the name was hidden, he automatically assumed it was someone important.“Hello? Can you hear me?” he repeated. “I am Chef Roland Jenkins from Oriental Delights. How may I help you today?”Zi Han waited a while longer, testing the man’s patience just for fun.“I am going to disconnect if you have nothing to say. It’s the middle of the day. We are awfully busy here, so please—”“Good afternoon, Mr. Roland,” Zi Han spoke at last. “I was hoping to make a reservation at your restaurant. I hear it’s a pretty upscale establishment.”The head chef cleared his throat and put on his best behaviour.“You have heard right, sir. Oriental Delights is among the best fine dining experiences in the ci

Chapter: Campus HeartthrobThe next day, as Zi Han returned to college, the whole campus greeted him with roaring cheers and a loud round of applause. By defeating the cultivator from the School of Lunging Shadows, he had brought honor to the entire college and proved his worth as a martial artist.Even the principal came out to greet him with a friendly smile. “That was some incredible performance. The best I have seen in years,” he said, shaking Zi Han’s hand. “We are honoured to have a cultivator like you study in the Argos College of Commerce. You have already made our hearts swell with pride, but I am confident you are made for even greater things.”“I just did my best,” Zi Han replied politely, showing little emotion.This gesture broadened the principal’s smile, and he patted Zi Han on his shoulder. “I like your confidence. Keep training, and the college promises to support you in every way possible. You can skip your lectures whenever you deem fit, and I will find someone to do your assignments as well.
