The next morning.

Sunlight pierced through the iron bars, spilling into the central yard of Block Seven. The air was still cold, but tension had already been hanging thick since dawn. The inmates stood in small groups, pretending to exercise, yet their eyes kept drifting in one direction.

Alex.

He was doing push-ups at a steady rhythm. His back straight. His breathing controlled. Every movement precise, as if his body were a tireless machine.

Riko stood beside him, trying to imitate the motion.

Several weeks passed since that day.Dragon Prison looked the same on the surface—cold, harsh, filled with hidden violence. But for Block Seven, the atmosphere had changed drastically. There were no more petty territorial disputes. No more cheap provocations. Alex’s name had become an unspoken boundary line.And Alex himself?He was rarely seen fighting.Yet that was precisely what made him even more feared.Every morning, a subtle aura of Qi enveloped his cell. Every night, a faint pressure spread throughout Block Seven, unconsciously forcing the other inmates to lower their voices.Rey cultivated like a man possessed. Under Alex’s guidance, his Qi pathways improved dramatically. Even some other inmates secretly began imitating the breathing patterns they observed from afar—though none of them truly understood the essence of it.Alex let them all wait.*One afternoon.The iron door of the VIP hall—the same room where Alex had met Han Yi—opened once more.Kriiieeek…This time, the at

The inmates of Block Seven who had wanted to welcome Alex immediately stepped back, not daring to argue.Harlan stood right in front of Alex’s cell. His hands were clasped behind his back, his posture upright like an unmoving mountain.For a few seconds, he simply stood there, staring at Alex, who sat calmly on the bed.“I rarely come down to the inmate blocks myself,” he finally said.Alex slowly opened his eyes.“And yet the Warden personally escorted me back to my own cell. I assume there’s a reason?”Several guards stiffened at his tone, but Harlan merely smirked faintly.“You’re quite bold.”Alex did not respond. Harlan briefly swept his gaze across the entire block, making sure no one was approaching, before looking back at Alex.“I’m not here to threaten you,” he said flatly.Rey lifted his head, clearly surprised.“There’s something I want to ask.”Alex gave a small nod.“Go ahead.”Harlan crossed his arms over his chest.“Six months from now… Dragon Prison will hold the Domin

The atmosphere instantly turned silent.Several guards exchanged glances. The name Investor AX that had just been mentioned caused subtle changes in some of their expressions. Even Harlan, who was usually calm, narrowed his eyes slightly—though he said nothing.'Isn’t AX possibly short for Alex? That smile on his lips… Harlan speculated inwardly, yet kept his thoughts to himself.'Alex himself continued standing casually. A faint smile lingered on his lips before he slowly shook his head.“I’ll gladly be waiting.”Rey, standing behind him, swallowed hard. He didn’t know whether that sentence was meant for Han Yi—or for whatever powerful inmate Han Yi would surely pay next.Harlan finally raised a hand, signaling.“That’s enough. Take him back to his cell.”“Yes, Sir!”Two guards immediately stepped forward toward Alex. One gestured toward the exit of the hall.Alex turned without protest. Rey followed a few steps behind him.The sound of iron boots echoed once more through the long co

The Head Warden let out a long breath. His gaze hardened, yet there was a flicker of interest behind it.“A new inmate has already changed Block Seven… and now the Han family is looking for him,” he murmured.“Fine. Bring him out. But keep a close watch. I want to see for myself what kind of person he is.”The guard behind him immediately bowed.“Yes, sir!”—Inside Block Seven.The sound of iron boots echoed through the narrow corridor. The usually noisy inmates fell silent at once. A tense aura spread slowly, like poison in the air.Alex’s cell lock rattled.Clank!The iron door swung open. A tall guard stared inside with a cold expression.“Who is Alex? The Head Warden is calling for him.”Rey, who had been cultivating, opened his eyes in shock.“S-Sir… be careful. If the Head Warden himself is involved, this is no small matter…”Alex opened his eyes slowly. His face remained calm.“Relax,” he replied casually as he stood.He stepped out of the cell without hesitation. Two guards p

Rey swallowed hard. His eyes shifted between the two energy stones in his hands and the remaining pile Alex had taken out.“B-Body–Qi Integration… That’s a realm even veteran fighters from Block One can’t easily reach…” he muttered.Alex simply sat cross-legged in the center of the cell, his expression calm.“Because they rely on the wrong methods,” he replied briefly.“Be quiet now. I’m going to cultivate.”Nights in Dragon Prison were always silent—but that night felt different.Alex arranged ten energy stones in a small circle around his body. The moment he closed his eyes, his breathing slowed, steady and rhythmic, like air circulating naturally in the atmosphere.KRAAACK!The first energy stone cracked—not because it was slowly squeezed dry, but because it was drained completely by Alex.Pure Qi flowed out like thin mist, then poured rapidly into the pores of his skin. Rey, watching from the corner of the cell, widened his eyes.“So fast…?”Before he could fully process it—Krak!

Alex’s palm closed tightly around Vargos’ fist. The air around them trembled violently, as if two currents of power were colliding within a single narrow point.Kraak!The ground beneath Alex’s feet cracked, yet his body did not shift even half a step.Vargos’ eyes widened for a split second.“What?!”Alex tightened his grip.The gray Qi wrapped around Vargos’ fist trembled wildly, then began to be forced back. Not deflected. Not redirected. Suppressed outright.“You rely too much on brute strength,” Alex said quietly.“And you underestimate me.”Bang!Alex merely twisted his wrist slightly.That small motion felt like a giant hammer to Vargos. His body lifted and was flung aside, crashing hard into the ground and creating a shallow crater.Dust billowed up instantly. The veteran assassins swallowed hard in unison.“He… broke Vargos’ momentum with one hand?”Vargos rolled swiftly, stamping his foot to stabilize himself. His face hardened, veins bulging along his neck.“Interesting…” h
