Clara slightly raised her eyebrow when she heard the explanation from the Head of the Jack Family.But instead of getting angry, she let out a small laugh.“So that’s the reason?”She glanced at Alex briefly.“That girl seems quite persistent.”The Head of the Jack Family looked a bit awkward.“I didn’t mean to offend you, Miss Clara…”Clara casually shook her head.“It doesn’t matter.”She then leaned lightly against the garden chair.“If someone wants to compete with me, at least she has the courage.”Alex did not join the conversation. He simply looked at the Head of the Jack Family calmly.“Where is Olivia now?”“In the capital,” the man answered quickly. “She is being treated at our family residence there. But… her condition is getting weaker.”Alex nodded slightly.“I’ll go.”Candra, who was standing near the gate, immediately stepped forward.“Sir, in that case, I will prepare the vehicle. I will also accompany you.”Clara stood up as well.“I’m coming.”But Alex raised his han

The wind along the deserted highway suddenly changed direction.The dry leaves scattered across the asphalt slowly lifted… then began to swirl in the air, as if dragged by two clashing currents of energy.Alex still stood calmly a few steps in front of Lori. His gaze was flat, but the air around his body began to tremble faintly.Meanwhile, the masked man let out a soft laugh.“Interesting…” he murmured.He raised one hand. His black robe fluttered under the growing pressure of energy.“It’s been a long time since I’ve met someone who could sense my presence from that far away.”Alex did not respond. He simply stared at the man without emotion.“Who sent you?” Alex asked calmly.The masked man slowly shook his head.“Someone who’s about to die doesn’t need to know.”Then—Wuuuush! BOOOM!Without any warning, the masked man vanished from where he stood. The asphalt beneath his feet cracked instantly, as if struck by a massive hammer. It wasn’t true disappearance—his speed was simply so

The black flames surrounding the masked man grew even larger.The demonic mist that had once merely circled his body now transformed into tongues of dark fire wrapping around him.The temperature on the highway dropped drastically. The air became heavy… as if filled with suffocating pressure.Lori, standing dozens of meters behind, had to hold her breath.“This Qi pressure…”Her hands clenched unconsciously.“I thought only the young master was worthy of being my opponent… but now, I haven’t even seen the true vastness of this world…”Meanwhile, in the middle of the road—The masked man slowly lowered his head. The black flames around him spun faster and faster.“True Demonic Form…”His voice grew deeper.“It’s been a long time since I last used it.”He raised his face.His eyes now glowed a deep crimson behind the veil.“And the second person who has forced me to use it… is you.”BOOOOOOM!!A violent explosion of black Qi erupted from his body. The ground around him cracked like a sp

The night wind swept once again across the ruined highway.Dust slowly settled.Cracked asphalt, broken trees, and a massive crater in the middle of the road stood as clear evidence of how devastating the battle had been.But Lori was still standing beside Alex, her breathing not yet steady.“Sir… are we really going to let him go?”Alex continued staring toward the dark forest in the distance, the direction where the masked man had escaped.His eyes were calm. Yet the depth within them made Lori realize… Alex was already thinking far ahead.“He will show up again.”Alex spoke quietly.Lori frowned.“You’re certain, sir?”Alex slipped his hands into his pockets.“People like him don’t stop after failing once.”He turned his head slightly.“Especially if his young master hasn’t made a move yet.”Those words sent a chill down Lori’s spine.Young master.That meant the masked man was merely a subordinate. And if even a subordinate was that powerful…Lori stopped herself from continuing t

The man’s scream grew even louder.“A—AAARGH! M-my finger!!”He staggered backward, clutching his finger that had bent at an unnatural angle. His face turned pale, sweat instantly forming on his forehead.The lobby, which had been filled with mere whispers moments ago, erupted into chaos.Several employees stepped back in panic.“What happened?!”“He broke his finger!”“Call security!”But Lori remained standing in front of Alex, her expression cold.Her gaze was as sharp as a blade.The man with the broken finger began to tremble. Even the second man, who had been laughing earlier, took a step back.He hadn’t expected the calm-looking woman to move so quickly… and so ruthlessly.The receptionist behind the desk was nearly panicking.“Security! Call security now!”But just as the situation was about to spiral into complete chaos…A woman’s voice suddenly came from the direction of the elevator.“That’s enough.”The voice wasn’t loud. Yet the entire lobby fell silent instantly.As the

The question struck the air like a sledgehammer. The name “Clara” slipping from Olivia’s lips caused the atmosphere in the hundreds-of-square-meter room to freeze instantly. Lori, who was usually alert and composed, could only stand stiffly in the corner this time. Her heart pounded rapidly as she imagined what kind of storm would crash down on her master.Alex fell silent. His eyes, usually as cold as ice, now showed ripples of emotion that were hard to read. He knew Olivia had an extensive information network as the CEO of a massive corporation, but he hadn’t expected Clara’s name to surface this quickly.Just as Alex was about to open his mouth to give the most reasonable explanation—A drastic change suddenly occurred in Olivia’s body.“Olivia?” Alex’s voice rose, filled with alertness.Olivia’s already pale face turned completely white, like a sheet of paper. Her red lips slowly turned bluish. Even more terrifying, the temperature in the room dropped sharply in an unnatural way.

Olivia’s murmur hung in the air. The room, which had just escaped the grip of ice, now felt stifling with a different kind of tension. Alex turned around, looking straight into Olivia’s eyes—still weary, yet beginning to glow with a reddish hue not from the cold, but from suppressed emotions.“Olivia, there’s one more thing you need to understand,” Alex said, his voice heavy with undeniable authority. “What I just did was only emergency treatment. I merely suppressed the symptoms using my external energy, not removed the root of the illness from the depths of your bones.”Olivia frowned, trying to steady her unstable breathing. “What do you mean? Isn’t the cold gone? I feel… much warmer now.”Alex stepped closer, closing the distance until Olivia could sense the masculine scent mixed with a strong Yang energy emanating from him. His dominant aura seemed to trap her between the desk and his tall figure.“Your Absolute Ice Body isn’t just a disease—it’s an extremely rare cultivation tal

Lori didn’t ask any further questions. She simply bowed respectfully, then took out a communication device that looked simple, yet emitted a faint blue glow.“Order received.”Her fingers moved swiftly, activating a network that wasn’t recorded in any system. Within seconds, waves of information spread like a deadly virus—piercing through banks, stock exchanges, logistics networks, even the underground channels known only to elites within Dragon Prison.And then…The capital erupted with news.*At the city’s financial center, massive screens displaying stock movements suddenly went wild.“WHAT IS HAPPENING?!”“Mahesa Group’s stock dropped ten percent in three minutes!”“No—twenty percent!”Traders sprang from their seats, panic filling the room.“All buy orders are being withdrawn!”“Liquidity is drying up!”“This… this is like being attacked from all sides!”*At the international port that had just cut ties…Cargo ships that were supposed to dock suddenly stopped mid-sea.“Captain,

Lori lowered her head slightly, her eyes gleaming with excitement.“Understood, Sir.”The moment Alex stepped out of Olivia’s office, a new wave swept through the capital. This time, it wasn’t just an economic shock… but a pressure of power that reached even the highest circles of government.*Inside the Heliox Imperial Palace.A beautiful girl in a golden robe sat upon a high throne, her eyes sharp like an eagle watching over the entire nation. She was the Emperor of Heliox.Before her, a high-ranking official knelt, his body trembling slightly.“Your Majesty… the latest report from the capital.”The Emperor did not respond immediately. She simply raised her hand slightly, signaling him to continue.“In the past hour, the Mahesa Group has lost more than half of its financial strength. Their entire logistics network has been paralyzed… even several underground factions that were usually neutral have chosen to withdraw.”The official swallowed hard.“All of this… was caused by one per

Jerom gave a thin smile. "Do you even know who the influential figures from the capital are in this room right now?"Without hesitation, Alex countered, "I don’t care who stands behind you. Touch one of my people... and I won’t hesitate to strike back. If one comes, I kill one. If two come, I kill two. If a thousand come, I won’t leave a single soul standing."Jerom didn’t snap immediately.Instead, his smile widened slowly—a smile full of absolute confidence, as if he had just heard something utterly hilarious."In that case... let me broaden your horizons a little."He rose slowly from his chair. The atmosphere in the room tightened instantly. The men behind him stood straighter, as if this was the moment they had all been waiting for."In this capital... power isn't just about money or violence."He held up one finger."First... Reputation."The screen behind him changed, displaying the symbols of the major institutions that backed the Mahesa family."Those who control the flow of
