Immediately without anyone time Lewis rushed forward on shaking legs to get a closer look at what had just happened. His mind couldn't process what his eyes had seen. There was absolutely no way Alex should have been able to destroy that golden bell with just his bare fist. Especially not after Henry King had secretly made it five times stronger than normal.
Lewis tried to calculate in his head what kind of power it would take to completely shatter a bell with that much magical energy flowing through it. And to do it with a single punch using no weapons or spells. The numbers didn't make sense to him. That level of strength was completely off any chart he knew about. “I told you I passed beyond the Warrior Realm a long time ago.” Alex brushed the golden dust off his knuckles and started walking back toward the platform like nothing unusual had happened. Master Lawrence and Mrs. Lawrence stood frozen in place, staring at the scattered pieces of metal on the floor. Their minds struggled to accept what they had witnessed with their own eyes. Both of them had reached the fourth stage of the Warrior Realm after years of training. On their best day, they might be able to put a small scratch on a bell like that. But to completely destroy it with bare hands in a single hit? That was impossible for people at their level. A terrifying thought crept into both their minds at the same time. Did that mean Alex, the nobody they had looked down on yesterday, was actually stronger than both of them combined. King of War Henry King stood completely motionless, his mind racing faster than his body could keep up with. Everyone else in the room had seen Alex destroy the golden bell with his bare fist. But Henry King's trained eyes had caught something much more significant. There had been a technique woven into that punch - an ancient fighting style that very few people in the world even knew existed. He had heard stories about this technique before. He had even watched other warriors attempt to copy it after hearing the legends. But none of them could ever master it properly. They all failed to capture the true essence of the movements like the original owner could perform them. The original owner was the Dragon King himself. The only man alive who was said to stand above every other fighter in all the magical realms combined. People called him the Lord Supreme. He had appeared out of thin air five years ago like he had dropped down from the heavens. Most people believed the gods had sent him to earth specifically to save mankind from destruction. Anyone who had been lucky enough to witness him in battle would swear that was the truth. Stories said he could face down a thousand demons at once without even working up a sweat. At that moment Henry King felt his legs begin to tremble beneath him. A cold realization hit him like ice water. Alex had been gone for exactly five years. The same amount of time since the Dragon King had first appeared. That couldn't just be some random coincidence, could it? But then he looked at how Master Lawrence and his wife had been treating Alex like he was nobody special. There was absolutely no way a regular person could climb from nothing all the way up to Dragon King level in just five years. The idea was so ridiculous it made him want to laugh out loud. Henry King stared hard at Alex and forced himself to push the crazy thought out of his head. If Alex really was the legendary Dragon King, he definitely wouldn't have come back here empty-handed like this. He would have arrived with his full title and army behind him. And he sure as hell wouldn't have sat there listening to all the disrespectful garbage everyone had been saying to him. If Alex was truly the Lord Supreme, every single person in this room would already be dead for the way they had spoken to him. Still, there was no denying that Alex had to be incredibly powerful to completely destroy that golden bell with nothing but his bare fist. “How did you do that? How did you destroy that bell with just your bare hands?” Rose finally climbed down from the platform, her legs still shaky from everything she had just witnessed. Everyone around her remained frozen in amazement, their minds still trying to process what Alex had accomplished. Alex shrugged his shoulders like nothing important had happened. “I just hit the golden bell with my bare hands. It wasn't that strong to begin with.” His casual words sent the entire hall into chaos. People started shouting and arguing with each other. Some pointed at the scattered pieces of metal on the floor. Others threw their hands up in disbelief. Henry King stepped forward through the crowd, his voice cutting through all the noise. “I saw what you really did. You were imitating the Dragon King's combat technique. Just copying that fighting style can boost someone's power by up to 1000% depending on how well they can replicate the movements.” The moment Henry King said “Dragon King,” the whole room went dead silent. Then people started backing away from each other in pure terror. Some covered their mouths with their hands. Others looked around frantically like they expected demons to burst through the walls at any second. The Dragon King was the most powerful man in their entire country. Everyone knew the stories about how the gods themselves had sent him down to earth to save humanity from the age of demons. People stared at Alex with a mixture of fear and amazement. The fact that he could copy even one of the Dragon King's combat techniques was incredible. Where in the world had he learned something like that? The Dragon King's fighting methods were supposed to be completely secret. No one had access to training manuals or teachers who knew those moves. At that moment Rose felt her heart racing as she processed what Henry King had just explained. She couldn't believe that simply copying the Dragon King's attack style could create such devastating power. And somehow Alex had managed to pull it off perfectly. Even though she now understood it was an imitation and not Alex's own natural strength, she didn't think any less of him. If anything, she was more impressed than before. Lewis stepped closer to get a better look at Alex, his voice filled with reluctant respect. “Being able to use the Dragon King's skill means he has to be a real awakener.”Latest Chapter
Chapter 387
Upon hearing the words that Sebastian had just spoken with all the authority of a man who had spent years watching others shrink in the face of his title and his reputation, Alex looked back at him with an expression that carried neither fear nor aggression, but rather something far more unsettling to a man like Sebastian, which was the calm, unhurried amusement of someone who had already decided that the person standing before them posed no particular threat worth taking seriously.Alex smiled slowly.It was not the smile of a man trying to defuse tension, nor the smile of someone who was nervous and attempting to hide it behind a show of confidence, but rather the genuine, unbothered smile of someone who found the entire situation more interesting than threatening, the way a person might smile when a small dog barks loudly at them from behind a fence, not out of mockery exactly, but out of the simple recognition that the noise was far greater than any actual danger it represented."
Chapter 386
The reaction to these words was immediate and explosive.Several of the sons-in-law seated around the table stiffened visibly, their expressions shifting from mild amusement to genuine outrage, and it was one of them in particular, a broad-shouldered man carrying himself with the unmistakable bearing of someone accustomed to significant authority and respect, who rose from his seat first, his chair scraping loudly against the polished floor as he stood.This man was known among certain circles as a five-star King of War, a title that carried tremendous weight and prestige within the hierarchies that governed the world beyond ordinary society, the kind of designation that marked him as someone with real power, someone who had earned respect through demonstrated strength and capability rather than mere inheritance."What in the world are you talking about?" the man demanded, his voice booming across the room with barely restrained fury. "Are you insulting our father-in-law? Are you stan
Chapter 385
At that moment, the silver-haired man who had first announced the fine leaned back in his chair with the unhurried confidence of someone who had never once had his authority questioned within this circle, and he studied Rose's father for a long moment before responding, his tone carrying the particular condescension of a man explaining something obvious to someone he considered slow to understand it."Well," he said, spreading his hands as though the matter were simple enough for a child to grasp, "the decision has been made. This rule was agreed upon the last time we gathered, quite some time ago now, and if my memory serves me correctly, you were not present that day. You gave some excuse, as you always do, and you did not attend. So tell me, how exactly would you remember that such a rule had been agreed upon, when you were not even in the room when we discussed it?"He let the question hang in the air for a moment, watching Rose's father's face carefully, before continuing."You d
Chapter 384
It was one of these four, a stern-faced man with silver hair and an air of impatience that suggested he did not appreciate having his evening disrupted by delays, who spoke next, his tone shifting from mere amusement into something colder, something more calculated. "Well," he said, folding his hands together on the table in front of him, "since you have been wasting our time, and not just wasting a little of it, but wasting a significant amount of it, you should remember that there is a fine for such behavior. You are aware of this, are you not?" Rose's father blinked, caught off guard by the sudden shift in tone. "You cannot simply keep each and every one of us waiting for you," the man continued, his voice growing firmer with every word. "That is not how this gathering works. You are supposed to pay a fine for wasting our time, and that fine is calculated at ten thousand dollars for every minute you kept us waiting. You arrived ten minutes late, which means the total fine comes t
Chapter 383
Rose's father sat behind the wheel for one more moment, letting the weight of Alice's calm assurance settle over him the way a blanket settles over a man who has been shivering in the cold for far too long, and something in the steadiness of those words, *you have absolutely nothing to worry about, let's go, I have this under control*, loosened a knot in his chest that had been tightening since the moment he first mentioned the gathering to Alice back at the house, so that when he finally spoke again his voice carried a fraction more courage than it had only seconds before. "Well," he said, exhaling slowly, "no problem there. Let's go ahead." He pushed open the car door and stepped out into the cool night air, adjusting his jacket with hands that had steadied considerably, while Alice stepped out from the passenger side with the same unhurried composure he had carried throughout the entire drive, as though the banquet hall glowing ahead of them were nothing more than an ordinary bu
Chapter 382
The engine hummed to life, and the car pulled away from the house, leaving behind the porch light, the still-glowing television inside, and the two women who remained standing in uneasy silence, one furious and certain of the humiliation to come, the other confused and uncertain of everything she thought she had once understood. The drive itself passed mostly in silence. Rose's father kept his eyes fixed on the road ahead, navigating through streets that still bore the marks of the night's chaos, streets lined with flickering emergency lights, occasional patrol vehicles, and the lingering tension of a city that had narrowly avoided catastrophe only hours earlier. Alice sat quietly beside him, watching the passing buildings without any particular urgency in his gaze, as though the destination ahead held no fear for him whatsoever. From time to time, Rose's father glanced sideways at his passenger, opening his mouth as if to say something, only to close it again, uncertain of how to b
