Chapter: Chapter 46: The Commander?The table was dead silent.Every pair of eyes was locked on Jaxon, but Jaxon’s eyes were fixed squarely on Alexander. It didn’t take a genius to figure out what was going on — Alexander was keeping a low profile, hiding who he truly was. But Jaxon’s mind burned with one question: At what cost?Was his reason truly worth sitting there and swallowing insults from people not even worthy to shine his boots, let alone breathe the same air?Seraphina noticed Jaxon’s gaze and followed it. The moment her eyes landed on Alexander, something clicked in her head — faster than in anyone else at the table.And then it hit her like lightning.Alexander… was the Commander?It made no sense. And yet… it explained everything and nothing all at once. Her thoughts tangled. How could her quiet, seemingly unremarkable husband be that man? The man whose name echoed through military history?She remembered whispers, rumors — of a man called the Green Knight, the undefeated strategist of the Eastern Front, t

Chapter: Chapter 45 – Dinner with WolvesThe Lockwoods were ushered into the Intercontinental Royale with all the reverence of crowned monarchs. The hotel staff bowed, bellboys whisked away their luggage, and the concierge personally escorted them to the penthouse floor. Champagne was poured the instant they stepped into their suites; silk curtains billowed in the soft breeze of the ocean-view balconies.It was luxury the Lockwoods thought they deserved… and now they reveled in it.Later that evening, Lady Lockwood summoned everyone for a family dinner in the grand, chandelier-lit restaurant of the hotel. The table was long, polished to a mirror shine, laden with silverware and enough gourmet dishes to feed an army.Alexander sat quietly at the far end, as though the whole spectacle were none of his concern. Beside him, Seraphina sipped her wine in silence.The conversation started politely enough. But soon… the fangs came out.“Seraphina,” one of the Lockwood elders began between chews of roasted lamb, “why have you refused

Chapter: Chapter 44 – The Silent King’s MoveAlexander stood alone in the parking lot, hands tucked in his pockets, as the Lockwoods stormed off — pride bruised, anger simmering.This wasn’t his problem.He didn’t owe them anything.Walk away, he told himself.But then… he smirked. “I’ll join you in a second,” he’d told Seraphina earlier. “Just need to make a quick call.”Once the coast was clear, he pulled out his phone and dialed a secure number.The line clicked. “Hello, Master Caspian,” came the warm, measured voice of Geoffrey — his butler, his shadow, the one man in the world Alexander trusted without question. “Geoffrey,” Alexander said calmly. “How much would I need to buy to become the majority shareholder of the Intercontinental Royal? And I mean immediately. Two minutes, max.”There was a pause.Then Geoffrey’s voice shifted gears — into that smooth, surgical rhythm of high finance.“Based on current valuation,” Geoffrey began, “the Intercontinental Royal is owned by a conglomerate of luxury investors.

Chapter: Chapter 43 – The Intercontinental Royal Incident“Jaxon, what’s wrong?” Natasha rushed to her fiancé, panic flickering across her face.“I think he dropped something,” Alexander answered calmly, almost casually — before Jaxon could speak for himself.Natasha blinked, confusion written all over her. The same expression mirrored on every Lockwood face. Their minds scrambled for answers, trying to process what they had just witnessed.“Yeah… I dropped something,” Jaxon stammered, his voice uneven. “Thought I… thought I dropped something.” His eyes, however, never left Alexander’s.Alexander’s lips curved into a faint, knowing smirk — a silent thank you that only Jaxon would understand.A collective gasp of relief rippled through the group. The explanation, flimsy though it was, was infinitely more believable than the truth. No one pressed further. Not yet.Lady Lockwood cleared her throat sharply, eager to sever the awkward silence strangling the air.“Alright,” she said briskly. “Why don’t we get going? We’ve arranged for your stay at

Chapter: Chapter 42 – The Return of the CreedSeven months had passed since the Maverick Contract saga. The Lockwood estate, though as grand and orderly as ever, buzzed with restless anticipation. A new storm loomed on the horizon, whispered in hushed conversations and stolen glances — Natasha Lockwood was coming home. And she wasn’t alone.“Seraphina,” Lady Lockwood’s voice cut through the quiet like a blade. Her tone was calm, but laced with the authority of a matriarch who commanded obedience. “Get ready. You’ll be coming with us — as an elder of the Lockwood family — to welcome your sister and her fiancé at the airport.”Seraphina froze where she stood. Her face betrayed what her lips dared not utter.Lady Lockwood’s gaze sharpened. “What? Do you have a problem?”Seraphina swallowed her words. The last thing she wanted, barely weeks after becoming the youngest elder in Lockwood history, was to say something that would drag her back to the rank of a nobody. But deep inside, resentment churned like molten fire.“No… not really,

Chapter: Chapter 41: Elder by force “I must have heard wrong,” Lady Charlotte Lockwood said, leaning forward, eyes narrowing. “No, Grandmother,” Seraphina replied steadily. “You heard me right. I’ll accept the position as project head for the Maverick contract… on one condition.” She paused. “I want to be made an elder of the Lockwood family.” Silence fell. Lady Lockwood froze. She had expected Seraphina to demand something bold, outrageous even—but this… this was beyond anything she could have imagined. It wasn’t audacious. It was unthinkable. “You must be out of your mind. That’s insane,” she finally managed to stutter. In all her long years, no one had ever dared request something so absurd. Seraphina said nothing. Her eyes flicked toward Alexander, searching for silent reassurance. Her heart pounded wildly, her nerves frayed like exposed wire. What the hell am I doing? she asked herself. She didn’t know why she was trusting him—she had no reason to. Except for the fact that Alexander Chase, her enigmatic hu

Chapter: An Update & Sincere Apologies to My ReadersDear readers, I want to sincerely apologize for my recent inconsistency and the delays in releasing new chapters of Ultimate Harem System over the past few months. Behind the scenes, I have been caregiving for my mother, who was battling stage 4 cancer. Tragically, she recently passed away a few days ago after a nearly two-year fight. As her final stages grew more critical, my energy, focus, and state of mind were entirely consumed by caring for her and processing this immense loss. Now that she is finally at rest, I am slowly working to find my footing again. It may take me a little while to build back up to my regular writing speed, but please know I am committed to returning and giving you daily chapters as soon as I can. Thank you so much for your incredible patience, understanding, and support during the most difficult period of my life. Ultimate Harem System still has a lot of exciting fresh new episodes to unfold, and I can't wait to share them with you soonest. With gratit

Chapter: Chapter 235: IndefinitelyFor a moment Johnny didn't move. He simply stood there, Mia's words echoing in his head — I tried. I was too late — but his eyes weren't listening to explanations.They were fixed on Margaret, lying on the floor with blood covering her clothes, her face pale and lifeless.Then consciousness slammed back into him like a waking dream, and he moved.He crossed the room in three strides and pushed Mia aside, just without thinking. His hands found Margaret's, cold and sticky with blood, and he dropped to his knees beside her."What the..." His voice came out strangled. He gripped her hand. "What the hell happened?!"Mia was shaking. Red to her elbows, tears cutting clean lines down her blood-streaked face."I found her, I was about to get her out, but the guard appeared. I had the gun — I was going to stop him before he could do anything." She looked at her blood-covered hands. "But I was too late. He fired first. He shot Margaret before my bullet could reach him."Some part of Johnny's b

And Hawkeye stood there clapping."Impressive," Hawkeye said through his mask. "Very impressive."Johnny wasn't interested. He ran straight at him.Hawkeye's hands dropped instantly, his body shifting into a fighting stance, one foot sliding backward.

The second came from behind — Johnny caught his wrist, turned, and threw him into a third.Bodies crashed into shipping containers. The alarm kept screaming its red heartbeat over everything.But there were forty of them.Even with his combat skills cranked to the ceiling, even with the Combat Lens painting every movement before it happened, physics didn't negotiate. Knuckles found his ribs.

The situation was bad. Not impossible, but bad.A fist came toward his face. He moved just in time, the punch missing by centimeters, but before he could counter, another man appeared from the side.

Chapter: Chapter 232: Mia -- The Price of Wanting HimWhat did I just do?The question echoed in her head as she moved through the red-lit halls. She could still feel it — the ghost of his lips on hers, the warmth of him for those two, three seconds before he'd pulled away.Mia did not know when it happened. That was the part that bothered her most. She hadn't planned that kiss, not really. She had planned words, excuses, ways to make Johnny look at her again.But that had been real. And that was the problem, because real feelings were dangerous. Mia hated losing control.She had spent so long believing everything could be managed if she was smart enough, careful enough, ruthless enough.But Johnny had always been different — he ruined every calculation she made.One moment she had been executing her plan to slip back into his life, make him need her again, then take control like she always did. Control was her language. Her weapon. Her comfort.But somewhere between the confession and the kiss, that control had started to slip through h

And there—still clenched tight in the tactical vest—Johnny’s hand.His hand.They fell together.Fourteen floors.Johnny leaned over the window before he could stop himself.The wind hit his face hard.

Tiny people.Then—A distant sound.A heavy, sickening impact.Even from that height, he heard it.A dull crack against concrete.Johnny’s stomach twisted.For a moment, everything went quiet.Then the pain arrived.It did not build slowly.It exploded.“Aaaahhh!”He fell backward into the room, clutching his arm.

Chapter: Chapter 146: The FightThe room felt smaller the moment the sniper stepped forward. Wind pushed through the shattered windows behind him, carrying dust and the distant echo of traffic far below. The building creaked from all the damage Johnny had caused getting here. They were alone. No civilians. No witnesses. Just broken walls and unfinished business. The sniper raised the pistol. Johnny moved first. Bang. The muzzle flashed bright orange. Johnny twisted sideways. The first bullet sliced past his ribs. Bang. The second round slammed into his upper arm. Pain burst through him like fire under the skin. He didn’t slow down. He charged. The sniper fired again. Bang. This one hit his shoulder. The impact spun him slightly—but he kept pushing forward, teeth gritted, ignoring the burn as flesh already began stitching itself back together. [Instant Health Restoration Activated] Johnny grabbed a metal stool from beside the wall and hurled it. The sniper shot it mid-air.
