Chapter 447
The Wolfsbane Mansion loomed in the distance. But Alex didn’t head for the grand entrance.Instead, he made his way to a smaller, weather-worn house tucked at the far-right wing of the estate—a place most people had forgotten existed.Inside, chaos roared. The small house was alive with anger—the kind that had been brewing for years.Sofina Scheinwald stood in the middle of it. Across from her, her mother Felicia raged, while her stepfather Albert and her half-sister Pauline hurled words like stones.“Alex Saint-Claire—that loser! He’s an embarrassment! If you don’t divorce him now, your father might disown you! And your grandmother? She’ll kick you out form here! Have you learned nothing from your mistake with Heinrich?”Sofina didn’t flinch. “Father will never disown me, you know, I am his only daughter. And I don’t care about Grandmother.”“You—!” Felicia’s hands trembled, her voice rising with fury.“What’s so special about that half-slave? Why can’t you divorce him and marry Co
Chapter 446
Alex walked the long gravel drive toward the Rosenheim Mansion, his footsteps echoing against the iron gates that guarded the estate.Two military-grade androids stepped forward, their movements crisp and synchronized.“Sir Alex,” one said. “You are advised not to enter this residence.”Three years ago, those same machines would’ve opened fire the moment they saw him. But time—and skill—had changed everything.For three long years, Alex had lived like a dog under Rosenheim’s roof—tolerated, watched, and barely human in their eyes.But while they looked down on him, he worked in silence. Bit by bit, line by line, he slipped into their systems, rewrote their code, and bent the mansion’s sentinels to his will.Now, the same machines built to protect the Rosenheims could obey him with a single word.Yet Alex never gave the order. He let them stand there, loyal and silent—pretending nothing had changed.“Tell me the reason.”The android tilted its head slightly, sensors whirring as it spok

The flying iron door crashed back and crushed two thugs who’d been waiting with rifles, their bodies folding like paper under cold iron.An alarm split the night. “Enemy attack!” someone screamed. The room filled with men reaching for laser pistols, faces hard with surprise and fury.It was what war looked like in alleys—fast, ugly, inevitable. But Alex was faster.He moved like a blade: precise, brutal. Men went down with snapped bones and gasps.Weapons clattered and sparked across the wet stones. He didn’t hesitate.He broke wrists, snapped arms, tore men off their feet. The fight was a series of short, sharp sentences—strike, fall, breathe.From the back of the room Jack Chambers appeared, a bull of a man with a grin that smelled of oil and money.Beside him stood a hulking iron robot, bristling with guns and menace.“You think you walk in here and take my turf?” Jack growled. “You bastard—do you want to die? Meet my guard: the latest model. It can crush a hundred men without brea
Chapter 444
Three years earlier, Alex was on his knees in the cold marble hall of the Rosenheim mansion, pressed down by a trio of chrome robots and a pale-faced servant.The light from the chandelier carved hard lines across his face. The machines made no sound but their grips were insistently mechanical.“Who are you, thief?” Otto Rosenheim barked, stepping forward. “Why are you trespassing on this property?”Alex kept his chin up. “I’m Alexander Saint-Claire,” he said. “Son of Logan Saint-Claire. I believe this property belongs to my family.”Otto let out a short, incredulous laugh. “You say you’re the child of Logan Saint-Claire?”“Yes.” Alex’s voice didn’t waver. “The blood test proved it. The Prussian Government hospital ran it.”With deliberate calm, Alex tapped the three-dimensional bracelet on his wrist and the document bloomed in a pale hologram. He pushed it toward Otto.Otto’s eyes flicked over the projection as if it were a curious insect.“So you claim the Marquis Saint-Claire’s est
Chapter 443
Around two decades ago, Baroness Wolfsbane was overjoyed when her daughter was chosen for the Prussian Government’s Seeding Project.It was a national program—part science, part eugenics—designed to engineer the next generation of leaders.The state selected women of noble blood, perfect beauty, exceptional intellect, and, above all, untouched purity. Only the finest could be accepted.The men? They came from the highest ranks—the King, the Generals, the Dukes. Sometimes Counts or Marquises, but never below.Their seed was considered sacred, a genetic investment in the Empire’s future.When Felicia Wolfsbane was accepted and later became pregnant, the Baroness could barely contain her pride.The law forbade anyone from revealing the donor’s name, not even the mother or child were allowed to speak it aloud before the state permitted it—but everyone in the Wolfsbane household whispered the same rumor:‘Sofina’s father had to be of Count blood, at least.’That meant Sofina was born for g

The King looked at Sofina and exhaled heavily. “You know this already, Fina. I’ve tried to give you three years. But even if I agree, your mother won’t.”“Father,” Sofina said softly. “If you agree, nothing else matters.”Before the King could answer, another voice cut through the line—sharp, commanding.“I don’t agree!” Felicia said. Her mother had joined the call. “Sofina, you will marry the man I choose.”“Mother,” Sofina shot back, her tone trembling but fierce.“I am no bird; and no net ensnares me: I am a free human being with an independent will.”“You’re my daughter,” Felicia snapped, her tone sharp with authority. “You will do as I say.”Sofina met her gaze. “Father already agreed. I’m marrying Alex—and if he doesn’t divorce me within a year, he’ll become my permanent husband.”Felicia turned toward the King and knelt, her posture dripping with false respect. “My Lord, have you already accepted Sofina’s request?”Sofina quickly stepped in. “Father, please. This is for your da
