Chapter 378
In the state of Mexica, Governor Benito Diaz sat in his office, the weight of recent events still pounding in his head.Hours ago, he’d watched the new king execute the Governor of Colombia.The image wouldn’t leave his mind.Since the king’s decree just a few hours ago, the government offices were swarming with officials, their voices clashing in heated debates over how to respond.Papers piled high, phones rang without pause, and the tension was thick enough to choke on.It was clear they were in for a long night—every light in the building would burn until dawn, because by tomorrow morning, the press would demand an answer.“Sir Governor,” a secretary stepped in, voice tight.“The people are waiting for your decision. Will we keep producing weapons like we have for the last two hundred years… or stop and switch to farming?”Benito’s eyes hardened. “Call everyone here. I’ll speak to them directly.”Moments later, about ten of his most trusted officials filed into the room.Benito ro

The State of Colombia, under Governor Pablo Falcao, was in a live conference with six other state governors.“Four new governors in just one year—Vancouver, Los Angeles, Chicago, and Paris… unbelievable,” Pablo muttered, his voice thick with contempt.“They must have been handpicked by the king himself,” he added, leaning forward.“We, the old guard, can’t just sit here and let that boy do whatever he wants. If we don’t act now, we’ll be replaced too.”“We can’t let that stupid, brainless king—who spends his days chasing women—lead this country into ruin!”One of the governors raised an eyebrow. “Pablo, don’t you think the new king is better than the old one?”“He’s too young to be our king—and far too foolish!” Pablo snapped.His palm slammed against the table with a crack that echoed through the call. “If he stops us from making weapons, where the hell will our profits come from?”“Oh, come on, Pablo. We’re the weakest country out there. Any weapon we make means nothing to the other
Chapter 376
That night, in Vancouver’s slum district, Alex sat on the clinic’s crumbling front steps, the cold concrete pressing through his coat as he watched the street come alive in its own quiet way.A line of homeless men and women stretched along the cracked sidewalk, waiting for a simple gift—a steaming bowl of porridge.Josephine ladled it out with a wide, warm smile, just like she did every day.The wind cut sharper than usual, icy enough to bite through coats, yet it couldn’t wash away the warmth flowing here.Laughter rose from the line—genuine, unshaken, immune to the cold.This place had nothing compared to a rich man’s banquet.Here, a day’s worth of free porridge cost barely fifty dollars, enough to feed a hundred—sometimes a hundred and fifty—people.A banquet for the wealthy? Five to ten thousand for the same headcount, and most of it drowned in false smiles.But here, every smile was real.Alex felt something shift inside him, a truth pressing against his ribs.His advisors, his

Florence stormed up to Alex, her face twisted with rage, voice trembling on the edge of a scream.“You hit Madam Henny first, you idiot! You handed her the perfect excuse to come after us! This all started because of you!”She stabbed her finger toward the inferno raging outside, the flames painting her face in violent orange.“Look at that mansion—burning to the ground! Why is this happening to us? Because of you!”“We got stabbed because of you! Ever since you walked into our lives, nothing good has happened to us—nothing!”Alex lifted an eyebrow, calm in the face of her fury. The truth was, if he hadn’t stepped in, Florence and Jack would already be dead.And as for “nothing good”… well, thanks to him, Sophia now wore the title of Governor of Paris.But she wasn’t entirely wrong—Henny had plenty of reasons to want revenge, and yes, one of them was him.Florence’s glare was like a blade. “Now our mansion is gone. You’d better give me that money, or I swear—I’ll chase you to my last

Josephine stretched with a lazy yawn, arms high over her head.“Good morning, Miss Sophia.”When she noticed Alex was awake, her face lit up. “And good morning to you, Alex.”“Morning, Josephine,” Alex replied, unsure what else to say under Sophia’s sharp, burning stare.Josephine swung her legs off the bed, cracking her neck like nothing unusual had happened. “I’ll make breakfast for the three of us, okay?” She started toward the door as if it were any other day.Sophia stepped in her path, eyes narrowing. “How can you two be sleeping together?”Josephine met her gaze without a flicker of guilt. Growing up in the cramped orphanage, sharing a bed had never been a scandal.“Oh, Alex fainted in front of the clinic, so I brought him to his bed,” she said through another yawn.“But then he got all teary and didn’t want to let go. Maybe he needed a friend, so I stayed. I was tired too, so I fell asleep there. That’s all.”With that, Josephine turned and headed off to make breakfast, leavi

Their lips met and the world went silent.It wasn’t just a kiss—it was the kind of kiss that stripped away every defense, every mask.Soft, deep, and achingly pure… it tasted of something Alex had never felt before.Sweet like the first rush of young love, dangerous like a fire you couldn’t stop. His breath quickened, his heart hammered so hard it hurt.And he knew—he knew—Josephine was kissing him back.For a few intoxicating seconds, the space between them ceased to exist. Until… it stopped.Her palm came to his cheek, warm and tender, but there was a quiet strength in it as she pushed him back.“You really are a playboy, Alex,” she said, her voice low, almost teasing—but her flushed cheeks betrayed her. Her eyes, wide and luminous, were so pure it made him ache.“Josephine…” he whispered, his voice rough with something he couldn’t name.She pressed a finger to his lips, silencing him.“What you’re doing is wrong, Alex,” she murmured, her tone almost scolding but laced with concern.
