Lori did not need to mention her name.Because perhaps his master, Alex, already knew.Wine Clara. One year ago.The only luxurious restaurant in Draken City. A meeting that was never meant to be seen. A round table, dim lights, and Clara deliberately sitting a little too close—because she did not know that aside from her, there was also Olivia, who liked Alex.Olivia had come that night without notice.She watched from a distance.She saw Alex’s faint smile.She saw Clara pour wine into his glass.And the girl left.Alex slowly folded the letter again.There was no change in his expression. No further questions.He simply leaned back and looked at Lori briefly.“There’s no need for you to explain,” he said softly.Lori fell silent.Rey, who had been holding his breath, finally blinked.“Master… you already knew?”Alex closed his eyes.“She never hated without a reason.”The atmosphere turned quiet.Then he placed the thin folder over his face, covering part of his view.“Leave.”Lori

Rey’s whisper was like a small spark.But that spark spread quickly.In less than a week, the atmosphere of Block Seven had completely changed.Where the corridors were once filled with savage stares and brutal rivalry, now every step Alex took was accompanied by lowered heads.Not out of fear.But out of respect.The inmates began setting aside their best portions for him. At first, it was only warm meals. Then the finest roasted meat from the central kitchen.Soon after, wooden crates filled with drinks arrived. Unrequested. Even without Alex expressing the slightest desire for them.Every morning, in front of Alex’s iron cell, there was always something new. One day, a crate engraved with the crest of a northern noble family appeared.Inside: fifty-year-old red wine.The next day, another family sent high-grade spirit tea.The day after that, rare spices meant to strengthen Qi circulation.Rey, who was assigned to record the deliveries, could only let out a long sigh every evening.

The once-roaring atmosphere suddenly fell silent again. Alex’s threat had not yet faded from the air. His gaze continued sweeping across the stands one by one. It was not an angry stare. Nor was it bloodthirsty.It was cold.Cold like someone who truly did not care how many enemies would be born after today.Several nobles who had been whispering immediately swallowed hard. The aura radiating from Alex’s body now appeared more charismatic, stronger, and entirely different from before.Alex took a single step forward.“There is one more thing.”His voice was not loud, yet the entire arena heard it clearly.“The name you heard today… is not to be spread.”Several brows instantly lifted.An elderly nobleman whispered softly, “What does he mean…?”“From this day on, if anyone asks who the new Dragon Prison King is…”He paused for a fraction of a second. A faint wind swirled lightly around his body.“You may only speak one name. AX.” His eyes turned razor-sharp.That single word fell firml

The atmosphere turned silent once more. Now, only the hiss of Dragon Qi filled the air.The dark golden dragon above the Dragon King began to coil slowly. Its scales gleamed like living steel. Its eyes remained locked onto Alex.The Dragon King smiled faintly.“Then… let’s see whether that little sword of yours can cut down my giant dragon!”ROOOOOOOARRR!!!With a wave of his hand, the massive dragon moved instantly. It wasn’t merely charging.It descended in a spiral, its body twisting like a dark golden storm. The pressure from its movement alone peeled the arena floor layer by layer.The air suddenly became suffocating—and scorching hot.The entire audience erupted in excited screams.“This is the ultimate attack!”“Alex is finished!”The dragon opened its jaws. Dark golden light gathered in its throat.Then—WOOOOOOOOMMMMM!!!It dove straight toward Alex, carrying an overwhelming surge of Qi in a single destructive trajectory.The air seemed to split apart, making way for the Qi d

DEEEENG!The bell was finally struck. Its ringing echoed long and wide, as if even the wind had stopped in response.The next second—WHOOM!!!The steel ground beneath their feet shattered at the same time. It was neither the Dragon King who moved first nor Alex who initiated the attack. Both had already shot off in opposite directions at the exact same instant.BOOOOOOM!!!The first explosion from the collision of their fists erupted in the center of the arena. A shockwave swept outward in every direction, causing the spectator stands to tremble violently.After that exchange, both of them were pushed back a single step.“Good! So we’re both at the low-level Soul Fusion stage with Qi!”WHOOSH!The Dragon Prison King spun his body, unleashing a roundhouse kick. Dense Qi wrapped around his leg like a giant claw.At the same moment, Alex crossed his arms.DHUAAAR!The floor beneath Alex’s feet cracked open for dozens of meters. Yet his body remained firmly rooted in his original positio

The name spread like a wave of cold.Some people instinctively lowered their heads. Others held their breath. Even the air seemed to thin, as if it refused to move without his permission.Now the Dragon King stopped at the edge of the crater where Cain was embedded halfway into the ground. His gaze merely swept over him.Protector Cain, who had long been a symbol of fear, was now nothing more than common trash. Weak—and fit to be trampled by the strong.Then—Clap.Another clap. Yet it felt heavier than the previous explosion.“It has been twenty years,” he said calmly, his voice flowing like a winter river. “Twenty years… and not a single person has been able to shake my name in this arena.”He stepped onto the arena stairs. The cracked steel ground sank even deeper beneath his feet.“I built this reputation with blood. With bones. With fear.”His gaze shifted to Alex.“But today… you have drowned it.”The entire audience in the stands remained silent, holding their breath, waiting o
