“Don’t be too hasty…” Alex interrupted calmly as he gently took Clara’s arm.

But Lori’s gaze remained fixed on several men inside the VIP cabin. Their auras were carefully concealed.

However, to someone who had lived in the Dragon Prison for decades… such concealment was, in fact, too conspicuous.

“Mid-stage Qi Unification cultivators,” Lori murmured very softly. “Four of them. Two in front, two in the back.”

Her tone was calm. Yet a faint killing intent slowly surfaced in her eyes.

    All the imperial soldiers immediately stiffened. Their gazes shifted from Wang Zemin… to Alex.“Don’t tell me you’re also one of Wang Zemin’s people… Since we began investigating this matter, your name has never appeared on our list. Don’t drag yourself into this huge trouble.”“That’s right… Young man, your lover is very beautiful… Just live a normal life.”However, Raven narrowed his eyes. The aura around his body slowly rose.“You dare to obstruct the Emperor’s decree?”His voice was cold. There was no emotion, yet the threat was unmistakable.Clara merely glanced at Alex. She knew that everything happening today was not under her husband’s control.But Alex still looked completely relaxed.“The one who is guilty is Wang Zemin.”His gaze remained straight ahead.“So you have no right to kill an entire family without leaving a single survivor.”WUUUUM!The aura of the surrounding soldiers instantly exploded. Some of them had already gripped their weapons.Raven began to step forward

    Alex’s words were almost inaudible. However, Clara, who stood beside him, simply smiled.“Difficult? Doesn’t this actually speed things up?” Clara was about to kneel to follow the order. But when Alex did not respond, an energy force stopped her, because they were not the targets of the general sent by the Empire.“Dear?”“Just stay calm…” His gaze remained fixed forward.Meanwhile, Wang Li had already turned pale. But before he could say anything—WUUUUSH!WUUUUSH!WUUUUSH!Dozens… no. Hundreds of auras appeared from every direction. The sky above the mine seemed to be covered by shadows of human figures moving from every small corner.From the top of the hills, from the surrounding forest, even from unknown tunnels within the mine… the Martial Artists of the Heliox Empire began to emerge.Clara raised an eyebrow.“Wow… they’re really serious. Is this the power of Heliox after breaking away from advanced systems?”Alex, curious, turned to look at Clara.“What do you mean?”“On this c

    WUUUUSH!A dozen guards moved at the same time. Their auras erupted, pressing down on the air around the mine gate. Swords and spears made of energy appeared in an instant.Clara let out a light breath.“Truly foolish.”But Alex did not even move. He simply stood where he was. His gaze was calm and cold.The guard at the front shouted.“DIE!”An energy sword shot straight toward Alex’s neck.However…With just a small step, Alex’s body shifted half an inch. The sword sliced through nothing but empty air.The guard’s eyes widened.“How is that poss—”He did not finish his sentence.Because Alex was already standing in front of him. His movement was so fast that it seemed as if he had vanished.Alex slowly raised one hand. There was no technique. No excessive aura. Just a single slap.PAK!The guard’s body flew like a cannonball. He crashed into the watchtower. Stone and wood shattered as dust scattered everywhere.Everyone froze for a moment.Clara only smiled faintly.“Always the same

    The head of the Wang family was still kneeling. His body trembled, but this time it was not only because of fear. Anger and regret were mixed across his aged face.The room fell silent once again. The fog outside the window grew thicker, dimming the light of the evening sun.After a few moments, Alex finally spoke.“You clearly know the consequences.”His tone was flat. The head of the Wang family slowly nodded.“If this matter reaches the ears of the palace… the Wang family will be destroyed.”Clara looked at Alex.“Not just destroyed. They could be considered traitors to the empire. And seven generations of the Wang clan would be executed without leaving a single survivor.”The head of the Wang family gritted his teeth.“I… am ready to accept punishment from you. As long as Lord AX can protect the Wang family.”Alex smiled faintly.“You really are prepared…”He paused for a moment.“But your family may not be.”The old man’s body stiffened, yet Alex still leaned back casually.“The

    Alex only glanced at Clara briefly. His expression remained flat. Yet the pressure in the room did not decrease in the slightest.“Enough.”One word. The atmosphere instantly froze. Alex looked back at the head of the Wang family.“I didn’t come here for small talk.”His tone was cold. Firm. Completely emotionless.“Let’s get straight to the point.”The head of the Wang family swallowed hard. His body grew even more tense.“Alright… Sir.”Alex leaned back slightly on the sofa.“Do you personally manage the Wang family’s mine?”The question sounded simple. But the head of the Wang family immediately trembled.“I…”Alex’s gaze turned sharp.“Answer.”“No.”The room fell silent. Clara narrowed her eyes. Lori remained standing quietly at the side.But Alex had already continued.“Why?”The man lowered his head.“I am already old. My strength and time are limited. The daily management of the mine has been handed over to my second son.”“His name?”“Wang Zemin.”Lori raised one eyebrow.“Do

    The small piece of candy was still in Alex’s hand as he stepped off the plane. The mountain air greeted him immediately—cold, clean, and carrying a far denser spiritual energy than other regions.West Dragon Province Airport was not very crowded. The passengers were still looking at them with respect, but Alex paid no attention. He walked like an ordinary person.Clara glanced at the candy in his hand.“You’re really going to eat that?”Instead of eating it, Alex slipped it into his pocket.“For remembrance.”Lori smiled faintly, almost making Candra laugh, though he quickly restrained himself.*A few minutes later, they exited the airport area.There was no welcoming party. No members of the Wang family. Their arrival had indeed been kept secret.Candra quickly arranged for a private vehicle rental. A simple gray car—unremarkable and inconspicuous—arrived shortly after they waited.“This vehicle should be enough to avoid attention,” he reported.Alex simply nodded. “Let’s go.”*The
