Alex did not stand. He remained seated with his back straight, one hand resting casually on his knee. His gaze pierced straight through the Warden’s chest, as if the mountain-sized man were nothing more than another figure in his calculations.“One trillion doesn’t come every day,” Alex replied calmly. “But today isn’t an ordinary day either.”The Warden smiled faintly. Not a friendly smile—more like someone who had just discovered a new gold mine.Madam Liora glanced at the two of them, then stepped back half a pace. She understood this conversation was no longer about celebration.The air inside the cell grew heavier.“Do you know what happens after tonight?” the Warden asked.“The stakes will rise,” Alex answered without hesitation. “Not because of me. But because they’ll want to prove that today was just luck.”The Warden nodded slowly.“And greed always seeks revenge.”Silence settled again. Then the massive man stepped closer.“What if we don’t stop at two trillion?” his voice l

Rey’s voice echoed alone.And because of that, the reality felt even harsher.Alex stood in the center of the arena. Ten bodies lay scattered around him. Not a single one could rise. Not a single one retained even a trace of fighting aura.Only Alex remained standing.Uninjured.Even his breathing was steady.Juana took a long breath and stepped toward the edge of the arena. Her voice sounded heavier than usual.“The winner… Alex.”There was no explosive cheer.Only long exhalations, disbelieving whispers, and gazes that had completely changed.Above the arena, the holographic numbers trembled.2,000,000,000,000 dollars.The black contracts glowed.The betting system locked in the results.Several nobles immediately slumped back into their seats. Some cursed under their breath. Some closed their eyes, as if they had just lost something greater than money.Then the number split.1,000,000,000,000 dollars — for Alex.1,000,000,000,000 dollars — for the Warden.The transfer occurred in s

In less than a fraction of a second, ten shadows moved at once.Rank 27 charged first. His chain shot forward like a steel dragon, spiraling at terrifying speed, sealing off Alex’s movement from the front. The air seemed to split apart, the sharp whistling of metal piercing the ears.At the same time, Rank 31 vanished.Truly vanished.His body turned into a streak of shadow, reappearing behind Alex with his elbow raised, Qi concentrated at its tip like a skull-crushing hammer.The dagger-wielding woman at Rank 34 also slid low from the right, her blade reflecting a cold glint as it aimed straight for the artery at Alex’s neck.Three directions.No signal.Not even the slightest space left for Alex to move.And yet… at that same instant, Alex had already moved.He merely shifted his footing. The step wasn’t wide—almost lazy.Rank 27’s chain coiled and smashed into empty ground. The steel arena floor cracked in a long fracture.Rank 31’s elbow struck nothing but afterimage.Rank 34’s bl

The atmosphere, which had merely been heated before, was now truly boiling.The auras of the ten fighters began to collide. Layers of Qi pressure filled the arena, making the air feel as heavy as if it were crushed beneath a mountain. Some prisoners in the lower stands even unconsciously stepped back.Rank 27 swung his chain, the metal whistling sharply as it sliced through the air.“You think our abilities are that low?”Rank 31 let out a thin laugh. “He’s clearly looking down on us… If he thinks he can trample our pride, then let’s beat him until he can’t stand up again.”The dagger-wielding woman at Rank 34 licked the tip of her blade. “Exactly… Today, I want to be the first to carve that arrogant face of yours.”Murmurs and shouts echoed around the arena.“He’s gone too far!”“Ten at once? He’s courting death!”“This isn’t Block Three anymore! Ranks one to fifty are ruled by monsters from the ten prison blocks! This Alex really doesn’t know his place!”But Alex only smiled faintly
81.
The reddish-brown aura around the Block Three man exploded even more violently than before. The muscles in his arms and neck swelled, veins bulging like tree roots forcing their way out of the ground. The iron floor beneath his feet trembled, thin cracks spreading like a delicate web.“Now you die!” he roared.He stomped and shot forward.A burst of wind swept across the arena. His right fist drove straight toward Alex’s face, carrying enough Qi pressure to shatter a normal jaw in a single blow.But Alex remained standing. He did not retreat—he did not even blink.At the final second before the fist touched his face, Alex’s body moved with sharp precision. His shoulder rotated slightly, his body shifting half a step—just enough for the punch to miss his skin by a finger’s breadth.At the same time, his hand rose. Two fingers pressed precisely against the inner side of his opponent’s wrist.The pressure felt light—yet it was enough to disrupt the man’s Qi flow. His red aura flickered c

Alex did not immediately move toward the arena.He stopped at the edge of the iron circle, then slightly turned his head toward the upper tribune—not toward the other participants, but toward the row of luxurious seats where the elite families sat leisurely, weighing profit and loss.“Wait,” Alex said flatly.His voice was not loud, but it was clear enough to make Juana turn his head, and several whispers in the tribune faded.Juana raised a thin brow. “You object?”“No,” Alex replied calmly. “A condition.”That single word immediately stirred a ripple.The burly man from Block Three sneered. “Are you afraid?”Alex glanced at him—just a glance, yet it was enough to make the man’s grin stiffen.Alex turned back toward the tribune. “If this fight is going to be entertainment,” he said quietly, “then I want to play by the audience’s rules.”Juana narrowed his eyes. “You mean… betting?”Alex nodded.“I’ll bet on myself.”The arena fell silent for a split second.“Ten billion dollars.”An
