Alex let out a low laugh, a sound that vibrated in his throat and felt dangerously close to Olivia’s ear. He didn’t pull away. Instead, he allowed that intimate silence to linger between them for several seconds that felt like an eternity. In Alex’s eyes, that mischievous glint slowly shifted into something deeper, as if he were crafting a grand plan in his mind.“Actually,” Alex began, his voice returning to its usual relaxed tone, “I have a more interesting idea than just a kiss as payment. How about we turn this into a game? As compensation for the years I disappeared without a word, I’ll let you become my ‘owner’ for a while. You can order me around, play with me however you like, until you feel your resentment has been fully repaid. What do you think, Director Olivia?”Olivia froze. She stared at the man in front of her, who looked both shameless and strangely sincere in offering himself as her plaything. But instead of laughing or agreeing, her expression slowly changed.The joy

Alex only gave a faint smile—a smirk that was difficult to read, somewhere between overflowing confidence and a playful provocation meant to stir Olivia’s temper.He then picked up the maroon-red pill from the base of the furnace with an incredibly precise motion of his fingertips, as if he were holding the most fragile gem in the world.“Sit up straight, Olivia. Don’t tense up. If your muscles stiffen, the flow of Qi from this pill will be blocked, and it will feel like thousands of icy needles exploding inside your veins,” Alex said. His voice was no longer teasing, but heavy and authoritative.Olivia took a deep breath, trying to calm her racing heartbeat. She sat cross-legged on the wide leather sofa, her back perfectly straight.“I’m ready. Do it quickly.”Alex stepped behind her. His presence felt overwhelmingly dominant; the warm aura radiating from his body after the alchemy process still lingered in the air. Without warning, he placed his left palm on the crown of Olivia’s he

The atmosphere inside the spacious director’s office suddenly changed. The air, which had been cool from the air conditioning, now began to tremble. Alex stood upright in front of the bronze dragon furnace, his relaxed expression gone, replaced by the sharp gaze of a predator stalking its prey.Lori, standing near the door, suddenly stiffened. As a cultivator who had reached the peak of body–Qi unification, she could feel the shift in atmospheric pressure within the room. Her heart pounded rapidly—not out of fear, but because her instincts warned her that something significant was about to happen.“Watch carefully,” Alex murmured.Alex raised his right hand. His fingers moved, forming a complex ancient seal. Instantly, a flow of pure Qi energy began to emanate from his body. But this was no ordinary Qi. The energy was not blue or transparent like most cultivators’. It was a dim golden hue, and as it radiated outward, the temperature around the marble table rose drastically.WOOOSH!Al

*The next morning, the atmosphere at Olivia’s company headquarters felt different from usual.It was no longer the tension of previous days. Nor was it the panic that had once spread like wildfire. This time… what lingered instead was caution. As if everyone inside the building was walking on a thin layer of ice, not daring to make even the slightest mistake.On the top floor, inside the CEO’s office, Olivia sat in her chair.However, she wasn’t truly focused on the documents in front of her. Her gaze repeatedly drifted toward the guest table at the side of the room.There… a wooden box lay open.Inside it were neatly arranged various herbal materials. Roots, dried leaves, and even several pieces that looked like dark-colored resin.To ordinary people, it might look like nothing more than common traditional medicine ingredients.But to Olivia… her hand slowly clenched into a fist. Because she recognized some of them. None of those were cheap. Not just expensive… but extremely expensi

The room once again fell into a suffocating silence.All eyes were fixed on Rey Sogun, who remained deeply bowed. Not a single one of his subordinates dared to move. Even their breathing felt restrained.Alex did not respond immediately. He simply stared. His gaze was flat, emotionless. Yet that very lack of emotion made the pressure feel several times heavier.A few seconds passed.Then…“Leave.”A single, light word. Yet it sounded like an absolute command.Rey Sogun slowly lifted his head slightly, but still did not dare to look directly. Without wasting even a second, he stepped back.“Yes.”His reply was short. Firm. Without the slightest intention to resist.He turned around.“Everyone, withdraw.”The order was executed instantly without question. More than ten people who had arrived with intimidating auras… now moved quickly to leave the room. There was no longer any sense of dominance. Only one thing remained—They, Rey Sogun and his men, had chosen to avoid confrontation.BAN

Jerom’s laughter still echoed through the room as he quickly pulled out his phone. His hands were still trembling slightly… but this time, not from fear—rather from the last shred of hope he was desperately clinging to.The call connected.And the atmosphere fell silent once more.Everyone held their breath.A few seconds passed, yet they felt like long minutes.Then…Click.The call was answered.“What?” The voice on the other end was heavy—deep, and filled with pressure.Jerom spoke immediately, his words rushing out.“Mr. Rey! This is Jerom Mahesa! We’re under attack! There’s a cultivator here—”Before he could finish, Rey Sogun cut him off.“I already know.” The voice on the other side was cold.Jerom froze for a moment.“Ten minutes.”Click.The line went dead instantly.Time passed.No one dared to speak. Even breathing felt heavy. Meanwhile, Alex stood calmly, as if waiting for something that didn’t even deserve his attention.Lori leaned casually beside him.“Looks like our gu

“Nan’er, don’t go near your father! His memories haven’t fully recovered yet!” Yuan Yin shouted in panic.However, the caregiver named Fei Yi suddenly changed her appearance into Wen Shi. Everyone was instantly shocked by this sight—especially Luo Xiang, who had already regained all of his past memories.“Shi’er… h-how can you be alive again?!”Pulling the sword out of her own chest, Wen Shi gave a faint smile and said softly,“My fate has always been cruel. My life was toyed with… This reality was never fair to me. Gege, I was resurrected by Chang Guan…”Her body then turned into black smoke and slowly dissipated.In the next moment, Luo Nan rushed forward and hugged his father tightly. He cried uncontrollably, and his sobs soon spread to Yuan Yin as well. She ran over and embraced her husband tightly.With his memories restored, deep regret surged within Luo Xiang’s heart. He had left Yuan Yin when she needed him the most. Even worse, he felt he had failed Luo Nan as a father.“Yin’

“I don’t remember what kind of relationship you have with me. I don’t even remember anything about myself. I only want to know one thing… wasn’t it you who gave energy to the Third Heavenly Judge? What exactly are your intentions?”Setting down his small cup, the masked man clapped his hands, clearly praising Luo Xiang’s words.“In short, it’s very simple. I want to restore your lost memories. Living without a clear identity—doesn’t that lead to endless loneliness?”“With such good intentions… you must also want something from me, right?”“Hahahaha! Nothing in this world is free. Sword God, my request is very simple… I only want you to appear and kill the Supreme Emperor during the Ranking Tournament.”The Sword God fell silent in deep thought. But suddenly, Long Hua Chen, his three brothers, and Yuan Yin emerged from the void.“Gege!”Swuuuuuush!“Do you want to interfere? Isn’t it true that, to avenge the hatred in your hearts, you all share the same plan as mine? Or will you all be

Just as he was about to leave to meet the person in question, thousands of Heavenly troops suddenly surrounded Yuan Yin and the Light Clan forces.“The Light Clan has allied with the power of the Main Gods to betray the Supreme Emperor… A decree of extermination has been issued. You are now surrounded. Surrender!”Yuan Yin smiled faintly and struck the ground with her palm. Instantly, a massive formation shaped like radiant swords emerged from every corner of the grand formation established by the Light Clan. All the swords were now poised to launch an attack against the thousands of Heavenly troops.“Wife of the Sword God… why do you still insist on rebelling?”“If you hadn’t impersonated the Sword God and schemed to overthrow the Supreme Emperor’s throne, we would never have acted!”“Now, surrender!”Rooooaaaaarh!Swuuuuuuuuuush! Swuuuuuuuush!The Dragon God—and the entire Dragon Clan army—suddenly appeared from multiple directions. Their arrival immediately put the Heavenly troops

“Th-this technique…”The Sky Judge’s body trembled. He was vaguely familiar with several of the Sword God’s techniques.The moment he realized that his opponent was the real Sword God, he immediately ordered several five-star True God–stage resurrection soldiers to destroy the barrier formation that was imprisoning them.However, thousands of swords had already shot forth, slicing their bodies into countless pieces. The outcome was completely unexpected.Slaaaaaaash! Slaaaaaaash!The thousands of swords controlled by the masked man grew even more frenzied. Every single resurrection soldier present was annihilated without leaving a trace.In the end, only the Third Sky Judge remained.Luo Xiang clearly intended to kill him. Yet suddenly, a wisp of black mist surged into the Sky Judge’s body. Instantly, his eyes turned blood-red.“Damn it… Who interfered?”Luo Xiang spread out his divine soul perception, trying to locate the entity that had released the black mist.Suddenly, the Sky Jud

“Then what should we do?”“Hua Chen, you search for and monitor the masked man’s movements… As for the others, continue carrying out the plan as arranged. Qin Yan, do your utmost to conceal my husband’s existence and identity. Do not let him be exploited by the Supreme Emperor’s faction…”“We have heard and accepted the Queen’s command!”*High above the sky, after concealing his aura, Luo Xiang was utterly shocked by the conversation he had just overheard. Everything sounded extremely reasonable—especially the implication that he himself seemed to have a deep connection with that group. Moreover, because of the golden sword that had pierced the ground, he could not approach them directly, at least not before obtaining solid proof of the truth.“I’m aware that I have no one by my side. The only clue I possess is a single letter left by the Enlightened Emperor… It’s better if I don’t reveal myself for now…”Swuuuuuuush!Using his spatial power once more, Luo Xiang arrived above the cen

“Report this matter to the Queen…”Swuuuuuuush!Long Hua Chen chased after the direction in which the golden sword had flown. As for Qin Yan, he also departed, but headed in a different direction.*Elsewhere, Luo Xiang saw Xue Xan Kong leave through a teleportation formation and immediately used his spatial power. He appeared right in front of the man, whose face instantly turned pale.“M-my lord… D-didn’t you say you would release me and my family?!”Without replying, Luo Xiang sensed the aura of a mysterious figure approaching his direction and swiftly struck Xue Xan Kong’s movement meridians. After that, he carried the immobilized man into a quiet forest.Releasing the seal, Luo Xiang said, “I don’t wish to kill anyone else… Now tell me, what exactly happened to the Sword God one year ago?”“W-who are you? How could you not know such a major event?”“Speak clearly. I don’t like beating around the bush!”Xue Xan Kong’s body trembled. Although the masked man’s tone sounded calm, he

The morning mist had not yet lifted when Huan Li and hundreds of Silver Blades stood in formation like sharp shadows. Their swords gleamed coldly, their faces expressionless. Across from them, Bintang stepped forward alone—not merely as a man, but as a figure carved by destiny. His cloak fluttered in the wind, and at his waist hung the Dragon Sword, its sheath engraved with scale-like patterns, its hilt reflecting the light of the rising sun.Huan Li stared at him, his lips curling into a sneer.“Today, we will prove that the Dragon King of Amerta is no longer something to be feared!”“Hahaha! I also want to see him actually use that sword of his!”Bintang did not respond. He slowly drew his sword, the sound of metal sliding from its sheath humming like a distant echo. The moment the blade revealed its light, the air around him seemed to tighten—as if the very atmosphere could be split apart.“Honestly, this Dragon Sword isn’t meant for killing animals,” Bintang said calmly, “but oh w

Bintang looked at her for a moment. “I’m not running.”He pressed the red button on the panel. A violent explosion shook the lower section of the Azure Fang, launching torpedoes into the hull of the Dark Leviathan.A massive tremor collapsed part of the deck. Seawater burst in through the cracked walls.Amid the chaos, Bintang and Dewi Medist surged upward, escaping through an evacuation corridor toward the open deck.Above, storm winds spiraled. The ship rocked violently. A black helicopter descended from the sky, lowering a rope—Zidane stood at the door, waving.“Quick, Sir!”Bintang helped Dewi Medist up first, then followed. As they were lifted, the ship below began to tilt. Fire and smoke filled the sky.From a distance, Veyra stood on the burning deck, watching them leave. Her gaze did not show defeat, but a cold vow.“Very well, Bintang Ardhana… you win tonight. But you’ve just signed the beginning of a war you won’t be able to stop.”The helicopter pulled away, leaving behind

The sound of waves rolled through the midnight sea. The ocean wind pierced the skin, carrying salty mist that hung in the air.From the darkness beneath the surface, a small black dot appeared—a one-man submersible capsule, gliding silently toward the massive ship, Dark Leviathan.Inside, Bintang sat still. No sound, no heavy breathing. Only the ticking of the small watch on his wrist marked the passage of time.“Distance: two hundred meters,” Zidane’s voice came through the earpiece. “You’ll hit their lower hull in three minutes.”“Don’t wait for me,” Bintang replied quietly. “Once my signal disappears, detonate the sonar on the west side. Keep them occupied there.”“Copy.”Silence returned. Bintang stared ahead, his eyes as cold as the sea before him. On the small display, the massive silhouette of the *Dark Leviathan* loomed faintly—a black steel monster towering above the water.He took a deep breath, opened the panel beside him, and pressed a red button.Tskkkk!The capsule stopp

Meanwhile, far out in the middle of the sea, a black ship without lights glided silently—the Dark Leviathan, a warship belonging to the Black Sea Syndicate.Inside the ship’s control room, Veyra stood tall before a large screen. Her face was illuminated by the blue glow of the monitor, her gaze sharp and cold. Beside her, Raiden Luo studied the mission report.“The target has left the palace. Only two guards are with her. If we’re going to do this, now is the time.”Raiden glanced at the watch on his wrist. “Do it. But no blood on the streets. I want Bintang to know… that I can take anything from him without spilling a single drop.”Veyra smiled faintly. “That sounds very much like a personal vendetta.”“This isn’t war,” Raiden replied flatly. “It’s a warning.”On the other side of Amerta City, in the eastern palace garden, Dewi Medist walked alone, carrying a small book and a cup of warm tea. She had just finished an economic report to present to Bintang the next morning.The night w

The sky over Jiancin that night was not its usual blue. It was dark, dense, and turbulent, as if the sea itself refused to remain calm. Beneath relentless flashes of lightning, an old, unflagged ship cut through the towering waves. On its deck stood a man with blood-red eyes filled with rage. His clothes were torn, his face covered in wounds—but that gaze, the gaze of Veyra, remained as sharp as a blade.He survived.Even though his entire underground network had been destroyed, even though the government was hunting him, and even though Golden Serpent was now nothing but a name—Veyra was not dead.Beside him, a tall, broad-shouldered foreign man lit a cigar and gazed out at the sea. He wore a long black coat with a silver wave emblem on his shoulder. “You’re truly stubborn, Veyra. You’ve lost everything, yet you still refuse to die. What are you chasing now? Revenge?”Veyra wiped the blood from the corner of his lips and smirked. “I lost money, my name, and my honor. But not my memor

The afternoon sky over Jiancin looked gray. Across the towering buildings in the city center, banners bearing the name *Golden Serpent Corporation* fluttered, symbolizing Veyra’s seemingly unshakable economic power. But that afternoon, from a large screen inside his headquarters, Veyra stared at a stream of numbers on his computer—and his face slowly turned pale.“What is this…?”A financial assistant ran toward him in panic. “S-sir! Our transaction systems in overseas markets have suddenly been blocked! All reserve accounts… drained!”“What do you mean drained?”“Zero balance, sir! Even our offshore accounts in the Nation of Jiwa and several allied countries of Amerta… all gone!”Veyra stared at the screen with wide eyes. A single sentence appeared repeatedly across every security system they tried to access:"Revenge isn’t always paid in blood. Sometimes, it’s enough to make you poor." — from Mr. B!Veyra’s voice turned hoarse with suppressed fury. “Who dares…? Who could breach a fi

King Tian's eyes widened in shock. The moon pendant in the young man's hand was exactly the same as the one shown by the Fire Emperor. For a moment, he stared at Yuan Bei's face. But in the end, he had to accept the reality that his life was now in the hands of the very young man he had been searching for all this time."Y-you...""Your comrades are all dead. How about you join them in the afterlife?!"King Tian shook his head and quickly spoke in a desperate tone."N-no! Didn't you say you would consider sparing me if I told you who ordered me?"Yuan Bei smirked and replied, "What I meant was, I would consider how you die under this flaming sword..."Slaaaaash!"K-King Tian is dead?!""Oh no! This is the first time I've seen a young man kill the strongest King in the Eastern Region... Who is he really?!""Whoever he is, he must have an extraordinary background! Look, King Tian didn't even get to use his full power! But now, he has died like a demonic beast being slaughtered!" The cul

"Looking for the King? Then step over my dead body first!"General Yuan dashed forward with her sword. As she arrived in front of Yuan Bei, the woman immediately thrust her sword forward.However, Yuan Bei did not move an inch from where he stood. Instead, he raised one hand and opened two fingers, pinching the blade between them."I am looking for KING TIAN!"Swooooosh!He unleashed the Dragon Heart Flame, burning the sword trapped between his fingers. Instantly, the black-golden flames spread and began consuming General Yuan’s body. The woman’s eyes widened in shock as she hurriedly tried to let go of her sword’s hilt."It's... it's burning!"She frantically waved her hands, desperately trying to extinguish the flames. But the Dragon Heart Flame could not be put out. Slowly, her eyes remained wide open as she watched her fingers and arms turn to ash."Pl-please help me... this fire won’t go out at all..."Swuuuuuuush!A blood-red shadow flashed through the air, speeding toward the p

Yuan Bei stared at the middle-aged man in front of him with sharp eyes. He then responded to the question in a flat tone."I did it because he made a mistake against me...""A mistake? In this city, I make the rules… Since when does a young cultivator dare to act so recklessly here? And you even dared to injure my son's wrist!"Yuan Bei's face turned red with anger. The hatred and resentment that had consumed him after discovering the mastermind behind the destruction of Cenayang Village only fueled his frustration even more."So, what do you want to do about it?""Break both of your hands and leave this city immediately!""Father, isn't that too lenient?! Wouldn't it be better if you broke both his arms and legs instead?!" Qing Tian's demands became even more outrageous."Hmph! Do you even have the power to do that?"Uninterested in engaging with them, Yuan Bei prepared to use his Qi wings to leave the city. However, before he could take off, Qing Lao suddenly leaped toward him using

"So, do you consider my life as nothing more than a wolf’s stepping stone?"Swuuuuuush!Qing Tian leaped forward. Without hesitation, he launched a fierce attack, his fist hurtling towards his opponent.Seeing the incoming strike, Yuan Bei casually shifted his body to the side. With ease, he caught Qing Tian’s fist in the palm of his hand.Kraaaaaaack!Qing Tian's eyes widened in shock as he felt the bones in his arm snap when Yuan Bei twisted it clockwise."Y-you broke my arm…" Qing Tian staggered backward, his face turning red with a mix of pain and frustration."Next time, don’t act recklessly if your skills aren’t enough." Yuan Bei spoke coldly before turning away, leaving Qing Tian behind as he made his way toward the grand Information Tower.The surrounding cultivators who had witnessed the brief confrontation murmured among themselves."It wasn’t Qing Tian who was reckless, but that young man… Offending Qing Tian in Black Rain City might bring serious trouble upon him.""True,

Flashback.When Yuan Bei was just five years old, on his birthday, a great tragedy befell his family. A group of people suddenly came and destroyed their modest home.At the same time, both his parents were killed by a technique eerily similar to the one Bai Chen was now using."Bei, what are you thinking?! Your opponent’s technique isn’t ordinary!" Cai Lin quickly reminded Yuan Bei.Snapping out of his thoughts, Yuan Bei realized too late that the lightning attack was already upon him. He hastily created a shield using his fire element.Craaaaack! Boom!Although he managed to block it, the stream of lightning energy kept surging forward. Bai Chen, seeing his opponent struggling to withstand the attack, smirked faintly and said,"Do you think you can stop it? Tch! Why bother watching someone who’s about to die? I’d rather…"He paused mid-sentence and turned around, now gazing passionately at Ling Ying’s figure. Slowly, he began walking toward her, licking his lips as he went.But in t

"Although he was only pushed back a few steps, this was enough to prove that the young man in front of me must have obtained unimaginable fortune. With such terrifying growth, I cannot afford to let him become my enemy in the future!" Bai Chen muttered to himself before quickly dashing toward Yuan Bei, forming a sword of lightning elements from within his body.Observing Bai Chen's movements, Yuan Bei swiftly summoned a sword of flame elements. Instantly, the two elemental swords clashed with each other.The resulting energy fluctuations filled the air, but both combatants pulled back their swords and began engaging in an intense exchange of sword techniques. The graceful yet lethal movements displayed by Yuan Bei left Bai Chen in awe. For a moment, he admired the beauty of Yuan Bei's swordsmanship. However, he quickly snapped out of it, realizing the danger in underestimating his opponent."Damn it, I let myself be mesmerized by his sword technique..." Feeling cornered by Yuan Bei's
