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: 260. High as a KiteAlex’s plan to lure the Brotherhood out by offering a contract on Dan Horowitz was already in motion. However, he was pretty sure by now that it wasn’t a single person pulling the strings from behind the curtains.The first lead, Oliver Martinez, was already on his mind. And he knew exactly where to find him.Alex looked at his watch and saw it was almost 3 am. He only had a narrow window to catch up to Oliver before he returned home from the nightclub.“Oliver Martinez, the little black sheep of the Martinez family. I think it’s time we finally got to know each other more personally.”Alex picked up his phone again and reached out to the police sergeant whose team had arrested the biker crew.All of them except Kenneth and Barry were still in the lockup, and their bikes had been confiscated as well.“Sergeant, I need to talk to one of your delinquents. Put me on the line with the girl.”The Sergeant did as instructed, and the next voice Alex heard was Maven’s.“He…hello?” she stutter

Chapter: 259. Live and Let DieKenneth frowned at Alex, his fingers tightly clenched into fists as he shook with suppressed rage.“What the hell are you talking about?” he snapped. “Do we look dead to you?”“No, but you soon will be,” Alex replied with an unnerving calm as he texted someone on his phone.By now, Barry had realized what was happening and turned pale as a ghost. He looked from one smirking face to another before finally turning to Alex.“You can’t be serious. You are no killer. You are a God damn businessman!” he cried in a quivering voice.Alex turned to look at him and replied with clinical cruelty, “You are right. I am a businessman. And you crossed the line by hurting my business. Now, it’s time I made you pay for my losses.”“What the hell are you two going on about?” Kenneth muttered, still clueless about what was about to transpire.“He is trying to get us killed. These cops are in on this as well!” Barry filled in, shaking all over.It was then that Kenneth got the whole picture, and it made

Chapter: 258. Far From The Finish LineAlex glanced at his speedometer and realized that, despite slowing down a bit, Kenneth was still going well over 150 miles per hour.The Nelson Tunnel was barely 2 miles away, down the winding uphill path, and there was no way he was going to catch up to Kenneth before he was already inside the tunnel.“Alex! Are you even listening?” Zachary cried out again, his voice nearly breaking as he strained his vocal cords. “Stop while you still can! There will be no coming back if you get inside that tunnel!”“Thank you for the heads-up. The race is almost over,” Alex replied with unnatural calm before disconnecting and dialing up the previous speed dial number. “We have a problem here. Kenneth’s headed for the Nelson tunnel. It’s time to step up.”“Our cars are still far away. We won’t be able to get there on time,” a concerned voice replied from the other end.“Then it’s time for plan B. Go in with everything. We need to stop Kenneth before he kills himself!”Up ahead, Kenneth was having th

Chapter: 257. Down a slippery slope“You really shouldn’t be doing this!” Zachary’s voice buzzed in Alex’s ear over the wireless headphones he was wearing. “There is still time to back out. Kenneth and Barry are reckless idiots, but you’re not. This race is madness!”“Thank you for your concern, Zach. But I must do it, even if it is madness,” Alex replied before disconnecting the wireless.Beside him, Kenneth revved the Superleggera, throttling up while holding the clutch. The tires burned on the asphalt, spewing out gray smoke like a chimney.“Now this is what real power feels like. Let’s see if you’re as good a biker without your own bike!”Alex ignored the remark and leaned forward, narrowing his eyes on the highway ahead.“Just focus, Ken!” Barry sniped, fixing his gaze on the towel in Maven’s hand.Maven took a deep breath and finally unclasped her fingers, dropping the towel in the middle of the road.“Go! Go! Go!”Even before the towel could hit the ground, all three bikers whizzed past her, speeding up the slopi

Chapter: 256. Hell’s HighwayShocked gasps escaped from the lips of the other bikers as they heard Kenneth’s suicidal plan.Hell’s Highway was the name assigned to the nightmarish stretch of highway 19C that ran from Glenmonte to Cobalt Cove, which was notorious for accidents.Over the last two years, 25 bikers had lost their lives on Hell’s Highway, with some ending up under the wheels of pickup trucks and others skidding off the road and smashing their heads into the ragged fields flanking the highway.Highway 19C was riddled with speed breakers, concrete barricades and was almost always under the radar of police patrol cars.But that wasn’t even the worst part.Any biker brave or stupid enough to race on Hell’s Highway had to dive headfirst into incoming traffic since it became a special one-way road after midnight.Just the very thought of getting down on the highway made Maven turn pale.“Yo, Kenneth. You are taking this too far, dude. You already got the Superleggera. You can beat Lex on any of our normal t

Chapter: 255. Perfectly IllegalScreaming off into a haze of streaking red, Alex flashed past Maven and Jay faster than they could blink. Neon lights blurred in the distance as everything around him blended into a dizzying play of light and darkness.The speedometer displayed a consistent 200 miles per hour, but Alex throttled up and shifted gears, rapidly accelerating.With the cold wind blasting him in the face, he cut across Brooklyn Boulevard, tailing Tom and Hendrix for a good half a minute before streaking past them like red lightning.“What was that?” Hendrix gasped as Alex’s Superleggera whooshed past him, leaving his heart in tremors and sending shivers down his spine.For the first time in many years, Alex felt the thrill of chasing a goal that seemed just beyond his reach. The empty roads felt liberating as his bike glided on the asphalt like a demon tearing through the city.Racing on the streets of Glenmonte at night was not just highly illegal, but carried with it the increased risk of either landing i

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.

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.

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
