    Some of the people who had already received gold returned with their relatives. More villagers kept arriving. What started as twenty people had grown into nearly fifty, and the crowd was still swelling.Alex’s eyes shifted to the side.The two cultivator women in blue and yellow robes were still there.They were the real danger.He prayed silently that these two unwelcome guests would lose interest and leave without investigating him further.But they were still scanning the surroundings carefully, as if searching for something important.They paid no attention to Alex because he appeared too busy dealing with the crowd.And Alex understood.He had to keep looking busy. Very busy. Until they left.“All of you, stop!”A sharp voice cut through the noise.The crowd turned.A man in tattered clothes stepped forward, but his eyes were bright and intelligent. He dragged a wooden chair from somewhere and placed it beside Alex.“Young Master Bai, please sit while you inspect them. This will

    Alex was the King of Estoria and the richest man in Prussia.He owned five storage rings, each one crammed full of gold, jewels, rare herbs, and treasures worth more than entire cities.And yet, in love and friendship, he was bankrupt.The climb to the top was always lonely. Brutal. Silent.He had become so poor that money was the only thing he had left.Taking out a box of gold ingots—the kind Xia people adored—was nothing to him. A scratch.A barely noticeable dent in his coffers.“Young Master Bai!” the old man who had been the loudest to accuse Alex earlier suddenly shouted, his voice trembling with theatrical emotion.“I told them before they even came here! It is impossible! Absolutely impossible for Young Master Bai Xiaochun—the purest man in this city, no, in this entire world—to ever rape a poor and ugly woman like this!”Every pair of eyes turned toward the old man.Because everyone knew the truth.Bai Xiaochun was notorious. Insane. Wild.iIf he were in the mood, even a ski

    Alex had no idea what was happening.People kept shouting a name at him—Bai Xiaochun.In the Xia language, he understood the words clearly. Bai meant white, pure, clean. Xiao meant small. Chun meant innocent, simple, genuine.Together, it meant “the small and innocently pure one.” Harmless. Gentle. Naive.So how in the world was that name being tied to the word rapist?“Bai Xiaochun!” one of the villagers screamed at him. “Admit what you’ve done!”Alex’s eyes snapped toward the two women staring at him with fury and disgust. A cold realization slid down his spine. If he handled this wrong, he wouldn’t live another minute.“All of you!” Alex shouted back. “Just because my father is dead, you start blaming me for everything? I’m telling you—I did not rape anyone!”“Bai Xiaochun!” one of the women shrieked. “How can you be this shameless? You raped me—and twenty-two others—and now you dare say you didn’t do it?!”Alex stepped forward, anger blazing through him. This time, he shouted beca

    Alex stood inside a wooden house, the air thick with the smell of timber and dust.He had seen this kind of place many times before. Xia architecture. Old, stubborn, rooted in tradition.They refused to trade wood for steel, refused to raise glass towers into the sky like Prussia.They believed living close to nature strengthened their cultivation, that wood and earth fed the body with natural power.Alex slowly turned his head.There was a massive hole torn through the roof.Sunlight poured through it in a harsh beam, illuminating the wreckage beneath.The VÖXEN Lucifer lay half-destroyed in the middle of the room, its once flawless frame split open like a wounded animal.The vehicle was filled with nanobots. Given the right materials, they could rebuild it atom by atom, following the original blueprint stored in its core.With enough time and resources, the VÖXEN could return to perfect form.But that would take time.Time he wasn’t sure he had.With slow, painful movements, Alex ac

    The front screen froze at 100%.“Father,” Sofina said quietly. “Doesn’t that mean Alex is pure-blood from the Earth Empire?”Wilhelm leaned back in his chair, the weight of centuries settling into his posture. “I checked the records left by our ancestors. There are only a few lines that speak of total pure blood.”“And what do they say?” Sofina asked.Wilhelm’s eyes hardened. “If he is not the Emperor of the Earth Empire, then he is at least a prince—a legitimate claimant to the throne.”“Someone with pure Royal blood like that—wherever he stands among the six nations—will inevitably become king. His authority is carried in his veins.”Sofina swallowed. Then she looked straight at him. “Father… tell me how you know Alex survived the light bomb.”Wilhelm raised his hand. Two holographic screens bloomed into existence.On the first screen, a blinding sphere of light expanded—Alex’s ship caught in the instant the light bomb detonated. The moment of supposed annihilation.Wilhelm moved hi

    “So, Father—do you really plan to turn them into slaves?” Sofina asked. Her face made her opposition unmistakably clear.The king let out a slow sigh. “That was the original plan,” he said. “The one we agreed on last year—before everything changed.”“What changed?” Sofina pressed.The king waved his hand dismissively.The wall screen flickered to life.Footage from Bella’s laboratory filled the room—cold, sterile, and ominous. Inside, several people worked at their stations, moving with precision. Some of them laughed. Others talked casually.“Last year,” the King said, his voice rising with barely contained excitement, “they finally reached Prussia’s technological level. It was the perfect time to harvest them as slaves. And from that moment on—”His expression shifted into something close to ecstasy.“—they stepped beyond us. They abandoned Prussia’s old path and broke free from its chains.”Sofina stared at him, struggling to follow.“What do you mean?” she asked.“Prussia,” Wilhel
