Alex remained standing in the middle of the arena. His hands were still clasped behind his back, his body relaxed, his gaze flat—without the slightest hint of anger or interest.Whispers rippled through the audience. Some held their breath in panic. Protector Cain had already stepped forward, his dark aura pressing against the air like a black mist slowly swallowing the arena. Everyone waited for Alex’s reaction.But Alex remained silent.“Even if Alex is strong, his power shouldn’t be higher than Protector Cain’s, right?” a noble muttered, fear written across his face.At the edge of the arena, Rey stared at Alex with raised brows. “Sir… you…?”Alex merely let out a faint sigh. Just once. As if the fight before him was not interesting enough to deserve his attention.Protector Cain lifted an eyebrow, his eyes sharp as he stared at Alex. “Are you an arrogant youth… or simply a fool? I came alone. And I will stop you myself.”Silence pressed down. The air in the arena grew stiff. All a

The massive body of the Ruler of Block One shot through the air like a sack of sand thrown carelessly. He slammed into the arena wall.DUUUUAAANG!Cracks spread long and wide. Every expression in the spectator stands froze instantly.The reddish-brown aura that had been raging moments ago now trembled wildly around his body before shattering like mist blown away by the wind.The Ruler of Block One struggled to stand. One knee pressed against the ground to support his weight. His hands trembled. Even his gaze was no longer wild. All that remained was shock—and disbelief.“Im– impossible…”Alex walked calmly toward the center of the arena.Each of his steps echoed clearly in the suffocating silence.Tap.Tap.Tap.He stopped two meters in front of his opponent.“All that anger,” he said calmly, “only makes your movements easier to read.”“And I hope you don’t surrender so quickly… Because I intend to teach you a lesson for laying hands on my people.”The Ruler of Block One roared again.

THUD!The atmosphere that had been noisy moments ago now completely exploded with countless reactions.“Five hundred and fifty trillion?!”“Ha–has the Warden gone mad?!”The nobles who had been so confident earlier now looked at one another. Not because they were afraid of losing money—but because they realized something. If the Warden himself stepped in, this was no ordinary fight. Surely, he knew the true capability of the person he chose.The woman in the silver robe narrowed her eyes.“He’s never joined a bet this large before…”The man in the black robe tightened his grip on his golden ring.“That means he knows something.”The Warden stood calmly, both hands behind his back. His face looked bored as he glanced at his luxurious watch, as if time were dragging.“Don’t you want to match our bet?” he repeated softly.That sentence sliced through the pride of the elites like a blade. One of the family heads rose to his feet.“You think we’re afraid?”Financial aura and ego immediatel

Inside Block Seven’s cell.Hurried footsteps approached. Lin Fei appeared with a pale face, rushing toward Alex, who had just finished his training.“Sir… they… they’ve taken Rey, Mira, and Selena to the arena…”Alex, who had just opened his eyes, slowly lifted his head. His gaze was still clear and calm.“Go on.”“The ruler of Block One has taken them hostage,” Lin Fei continued, his breathing heavy. “He sent a message. If you don’t come… they’ll start killing them one by one in the arena.”Instantly, the temperature in the room seemed to drop several degrees. Alex rose to his feet. The pressure spreading from his body grew heavier, weighing down on Lin Fei.“S-so this is what they call an aura…” Lin Fei didn’t dare look at Alex directly.Krekk…Alex’s eyes changed. Sharper. Yet his expression turned cold—so cold that a trace of madness surfaced within it.“He dares to touch my people…” he said softly.At the doorway, he added in a low voice, “I won’t hesitate to start killing.”WUUU

The iron door shut.Tok.The footsteps of the Warden and Madam Liora faded away, leaving a brief echo along the steel corridor. For a few seconds, the room remained silent.Then Lin Fei let out a long breath.“Sir… will you win?”“I already said it. As long as it’s within my capability… I’ll act. I’m not some naive fool who would face something I can’t handle.”“If that’s the case! Young Master, we believe in you!”Rey let out a small laugh—this time not nervous, but excited.“Sixty percent… Young Master truly left no room for the Warden, who only wants money!” His mind was already calculating how much Alex would earn.But Alex did not respond. He simply sat back down. He touched the wine once more and took a slow sip.*The next day.The main arena of Dragon Prison was more crowded than usual. The stands were packed all around.Nobles from various Heliox families sat with serious expressions. Some had even come in person instead of sending representatives.They had already placed the

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
