Earth.The Lion-Sun Nation.Year 101 Post-Apocalyptic.On the 101st floor of the Obsidian Tower, the quiet and majestic workspace was illuminated only by the soft glow of antique crystal lamps and the distant twinkling lights of the city far below.A middle-aged man with a full head of thick gray hair, a sturdy build, and dressed in a formal black uniform bowed respectfully in front of a large desk of polished black wood. The desk was covered with stacks of confidential documents, a dimly lit holographic projection screen, and strategic notes labeled Galaxy-X.“My lord, the Old Seer requests a private audience. He states that this matter is directly related to your future,” he said with deference.Behind the desk, Sebastian sat leaning back in a black leather executive chair. The man had a sharp, handsome mature face, nearly perfect pale skin, and a pair of brown eyes that seemed capable of piercing anyone’s soul. His black hair was cut neat and short, his beard was slightly thi

Two shiny black cars drove slowly along the dusty roads of the suburban district. At the end of that district, a two-story building stood out conspicuously—a classic Western-style saloon with dark wooden boards, a wide front porch, and a hand-painted sign reading “Rose Saloon” in thick, deep-red letters.The two cars stopped in the gravel parking lot. The doors opened almost simultaneously.Three women and three men.Among them was a tall, thin young man wearing glasses. The aura of his body looked weak, as if he could die at any moment. His name was Kevin. His eyes immediately locked onto a woman standing not far from him. The woman was wearing denim shorts and a black crop top that showed off her flat stomach and navel. Her long black hair was tied into a ponytail that swayed every time she moved. Her face was fair and beautiful, with a soft jawline and lips that always seemed ready to be kissed. Kevin swallowed hard. In his mind, he still found it hard to believe that

“Sofie, have you been playing with me from the beginning?! You just accepted my confession earlier—!”“Cass, slap him.”“Understood, Master.”Swoosh!Cassian’s figure appeared in front of Kevin. His palm mercilessly slapped Kevin’s face.Plak!Bam! Kevin fell hard. Several of his teeth were knocked out, his face turned red, and blood flowed from the corner of his mouth.A very strong oppressive aura came from Cassian, making Sofie’s friends terrified.Sebastian looked at them coldly, “Don’t think I don’t know that all of you have been trying to take advantage of Sofie. All this time, I’ve always been monitoring her finances. She often treats you, but behind her back, you often speak ill of her. I have evidence. Do I need to make it public?”Sofie’s friends turned deathly pale, especially Abby, who stepped backward. So they had been under surveillance all this time?!Sofie remained expressionless, as if she had known from the very beginning.“Don’t approach Sofie again. People like

“Patron~ Don’t you want to?” Sofie’s eyes were watery.“Alright.” Sebastian gave in because he couldn’t bear those teary eyes. He gently kissed Sofie’s cheek. Sebastian felt how soft her skin was and how fragrant the soap scent still clinging to the girl’s body was.After that, Sofie also leaned closer and returned the gesture by kissing Sebastian’s cheek.“Enough playing around, Sweetheart. Don’t you have class at the Academy tomorrow?” Sebastian asked while hugging her and gently stroking Sofie’s hair.Sofie rested her face against Sebastian’s sturdy chest while grumbling, “Tomorrow is physical education class, Patron. It’s going to be so tiring, I’m sure.”“Tomorrow morning before leaving for the Academy, I’ll give you a potion that’s beneficial for your body.”“What kind of potion?” Sofie asked enthusiastically.“Secret,” Sebastian answered while kissing Sofie’s forehead.“You’re so mean! Always keeping secrets!” Sofie pouted, hugging Sebastian even tighter, even lifting her right

Sebastian glanced sideways from the corner of his eye.A man in his thirties stood there. His appearance still looked relatively young, but Sebastian knew very well that the man was actually the same age as him, even a little older. His youthful appearance was clearly due to his power realm.Andrew Jackson. His former classmate. Now forty years old.Beside Andrew stood a mature woman who looked very fashionable and elegant. Luna Ron. Back then, in their youth, Luna had been the most beautiful girl in their batch. Sebastian had once liked her and even confessed his feelings. And been rejected.“Andrew and Luna as well. Hello,” Sebastian greeted without expression.Andrew grinned widely. Even though he was already forty, his attitude and nature had barely changed from his youth.“I thought you’d already forgotten about us, Sebas. You’ve received our engagement invitation, right?”“Yes, I’ve received it,” Sebastian answered indifferently.Luna glanced at Sebastian for a moment. There was
