The Indestructible Alexander Chapter 161
In the West Empire, the military filled the airwaves with an urgent announcement."No citizen is allowed to riot or to harm Gavin or anyone else. If you destroy anything, you will have to pay! From now on, martial law is in effect across the entire West Empire. You need to be at home, and you are not allowed to start a riot!" The military general's voice was stern, echoing through every speaker."Aslan spies are already trying to incite chaos and flee the country. We will shoot anyone who dares to riot. Remember, we shoot first and ask questions later! If you don’t want to get shot, return to your place. The Police and military will capture Gavin and the Aslan agents. All you need to do is stay at home and don’t bring any weapons with you. Again, I’m saying, we shoot first and ask later. I hope you’re not dead yet when it happens!"Under the ruins, Alex forcefully opened the hatch of his small aircraft, realizing he was in serious trouble. Hastily, he grabbed his guns, ready for the i

Alex prepares a simple dish for Crystal, the aroma of warm spices filling the cozy kitchen. The sound of sizzling vegetables is the only noise until they both sit down to eat and turn on the television. The news flashes on the screen, and a stern reporter’s voice fills the room.“Colonel Kevin attempted to escape with twenty of his soldiers on an aircraft, but the military intercepted and shot down the plane, resulting in a fatal crash in the mountainous area.” The screen displays dramatic footage of the aircraft being struck by two missiles, plummeting towards the rugged terrain below, a fiery explosion marking the end.Crystal's hand freezes mid-air, her fork hovering over her plate as the next segment comes on. “Lily White, Jasmine White, and Rosemary White, owners of Clean Water Company, have been arrested. Authorities reveal their connection with Colonel Kevin and the Gavin family.” The screen cuts to the three women, handcuffed, being pushed into police cars, their faces pale un

“Yes, sir,” the officer replies, his voice cold as he raises his gun toward Alex once more. “You both need to come with us to the station. We’ll get to the truth there.”Alex’s eyes narrow, a dangerous glint flashing in them as his hand subtly moves toward his own weapon. But before he can act, Crystal steps forward, gently placing her hand on his.“Husband,” she says softly, her voice carrying a strange calm, “let them take me.”Crystal knows exactly what Alex is capable of—she’s seen it before. He could easily take down every officer in the room, but she’s tired of running. She wants to face whatever is coming, and perhaps, in a small way, she wants to play along with Alex’s unexpected game, calling him “husband.”Alex looks around at the officers, his expression hardening. “All of you will regret this,” he mutters, the words heavy with a promise of retribution.As they are handcuffed and pushed into the waiting police car, a group of reporters arrives, cameras flashing as they capt

Meanwhile, in a luxurious penthouse, Ava is glued to her computer screen, her eyes scanning the fluctuating numbers as the stock market reacts to Peter Gavin’s death.The chaos in the market presents an opportunity for massive profit, and she’s ready to capitalize on it. The room is dimly lit, the only light coming from the glow of the monitor reflecting off her intense expression.“Ava!” Eva suddenly bursts into the room, her face pale with urgency. “Bad news—Alex has been arrested by the police.”“What?” Ava’s eyes widen in shock, her focus immediately shifting from the market to the unexpected news.“He’s with Crystal Gavin,” Eva continues, her voice shaky. “And you won’t believe it, the news says he’s her husband.”“What?” Ava is taken aback, her mind racing. “Impossible!”“Why impossible?” Eva asks, confusion written on her face.“He was divorced by Lily White! He’s supposed to be clean, without any attachments. I checked his identity myself. He’s supposed to be mine!” Ava stands

Inspector Charlie entered the interrogation room, his eyes narrowing as he carefully studied Alex. “Who are you really, man? Why are so many people demanding your release?”“We military folks stick together. It’s called solidarity, don’t you think?” Alex replied, his tone cool and composed.“Crystal, don’t tell me I haven’t given you enough chances. Where is your brother hiding?” the inspector pressed.“I really don’t know,” Crystal answered.“Then both of you have made your choice.” The inspector’s voice was cold as he reached for his phone. Moments later, the door swung open, and four burly prisoners were ushered into the room.“Listen,” Inspector Charlie began, his tone turning menacing, “these men are the worst kind of prisoners, capable of killing without hesitation. They haven’t touched a woman in a long time. If you two continue to refuse to cooperate, you’ll regret it deeply. And although it pains me to see Crystal ravaged by them, no one will pity a traitor of the empire.”“I

From the front office, about twenty military special forces men stormed in, each armed with heavy weapons. Their presence was deadly, their aura filled with lethal intent.The crowd of people parted like the Red Sea as a gorgeous, alluring woman walked into the room with a serious face.“I warn you, lower your weapons now, or you will face the consequences,” Lavinia on military office uniform coldly commanded. The twenty elite soldiers, each a member of the Royal Empire's special guard, aimed their guns at the police.The police glanced at the special forces, recognizing their authority. These were the chosen ones, far above their pay grade. Some of the officers quickly dropped their weapons in surrender.Yet, a few stubbornly kept their guns raised, defiant. Within three seconds, the soldiers moved with lightning speed.Anyone who still held a gun aimed at them found their hands shot, and then the soldiers struck them down with the back of their weapon, sending them crashing to the g

Six months had passed since Aslan lost the war to the Archlion Empire, leading to its reformation as the New Empire.Vancouver now stood as the capital city of this transformed nation. In this bustling city resided Baron Ashworth.Alex found himself in the grand hall of the Ashworth mansion, standing beside Crystal Ashworth as they attended the 75th birthday celebration of the old Baroness, Lady Ashworth.The hall was adorned with antique chandeliers, their warm light casting a golden hue across the room. The scent of aged wood and vintage perfume filled the air, a nostalgic reminder of the grandeur that once was.Half a year ago, Crystal had received an urgent call from her mother, Tanya Ashworth, summoning her back to Vancouver. Tanya was once the wife of Peter Gavin, a top artist in Aslan.However, ten years after giving birth to Crystal, a scandal involving Tanya and an actor led to a bitter divorce.After the scandal, Tanya retreated to the Ashworth mansion, severing all ties wit

His eyes scanned the crowd. These were ex-Aslan nobility, people who had always looked down on commoners. They still clung to the old ways, even maintaining a slaver system in this so-called New Empire.‘It’s going to take a long time to change their habits,’ Alex thought, suppressing the frustration rising within him.Just then, the man stepped forward, his eyes locked on Crystal. “Lady Crystal, I am Count Cross,” he announced, his gaze lingering on her as if she were a prize to be claimed. “It has been a very long time since I heard your name and saw your beauty. Will you give me the honor of a dance?”“I am sorry, Count Cross, but I am a married woman. Please show your respect to me and my husband,” Crystal said firmly, her voice carrying the weight of her dignity.“Oh,” Count Cross replied, raising his hand as if suddenly remembering something. His brown hair glinted under the chandelier lights as he smirked. “Respect for your husband, right. I almost forgot.”He turned and called

The bystanders froze in their tracks, eyes widening and ears perking up as the cutting words sliced sharply through the air.Gossip—cruel, relentless gossip—was the sport of choice for nobles bored of their lavish parties and endless luxury, forever eager to mock and crush those already fallen.It had begun quietly, a whisper snaking through the elite circles the night before.The rumor claimed Ophelia D'Arcy had secured her coveted contract solely because she'd tangled intimately with Robert Carrillo.After all, how else could a mediocre figure like D'Arcy have secured a collaboration with the prestigious Golden Guild?In truth, the scandalous rumor seemed disturbingly believable.Robert, noticing the growing audience gathering hungrily around, raised his voice deliberately, theatrically, "Does anyone wonder why Ophelia D’Arcy managed to snag the Golden Guild’s contract?"Alex Leonhard's icy eyes narrowed dangerously as he hissed through gritted teeth, "Oh, enlighten us, Robert—why?"

Alex felt a surge of deep satisfaction flood through him at Viscountess D’Arcy’s pronouncement, his tense shoulders finally easing with relief.Beside him, Ophelia D’Arcy's face blossomed into a serene smile, her long-held anxieties gently melting away.At last, the coveted headship was within her grasp.No longer would she suffer from scornful glances and whispered mockeries.Her parents, whose heads had long been bowed beneath the weight of ridicule, could finally stand tall, pride radiating from every pore.Viscountess D’Arcy turned sharply, eyes glittering with anticipation as she fixed her granddaughter with a piercing stare.“Ophelia, there’s something important I require of you.”“Of course, Grandma,” Ophelia responded immediately, her voice respectful yet wary. “What would you have me do?”The old woman leaned closer, her voice dripping with ambitious fervor. “I want you to personally invite Miss Jessica Golden to tomorrow’s banquet.”She paused, her eyes igniting with fiery e

“Splendid!” Philip sneered, his voice dripping with sarcastic delight.“About damn time! You should've divorced Ophelia ages ago!”“Indeed!” echoed the chorus of the family, their voices merging into a spiteful symphony. “We’ve long accepted the necessity of you cutting loose from Ophelia!”“Yes, divorce her right this instant!” came another sharp voice, resonating with bitter contempt.The family’s collective pride had always recoiled in shame from the day Ophelia tied herself to Alex Leonhard, the poorest excuse for a baron anyone had ever laid eyes on.In the corner, Alex watched quietly, calculating.This uproar provided him the perfect opportunity to sever the marriage he believed had been forced upon him by the manipulations of the Demon King.Once freed from Ophelia, he would fulfill his obligation with the herbal remedy and then ride away to Miracle City, unburdened and unattached.Yet, amidst this chaos, Ophelia’s voice cut sharply through, startling everyone.“Marvelous sug

“What? You—you actually pulled it off?” Philips stammered, his eyes wide with disbelief, panic clawing at his chest.The realization that his precious land would slip right into Ophelia’s grasp gnawed at him mercilessly.“Yes,” Ophelia replied happily. “I met Jessica Golden!”“No way!” Olivia sneered, her voice dripping venomous disbelief.“Absolutely impossible! You’re telling me you got face-to-face with Jessica Golden herself? Don’t make me laugh!”“Oh, I did more than meet her,” Ophelia replied with smug triumph, lifting her chin defiantly."Jessica Golden personally handed me the signed contract.”Her words detonated across the room, stunning silence gripping every heart.Philips slammed his hand violently onto the polished mahogany table, eyes blazing with fury."Ophelia, do you seriously think we’re idiots?” he spat viciously."Jessica Golden of the Golden Guild is a titan among the city's elite. Why in God’s name would she lower herself to even glance in your direction? Do you

Meanwhile, Ophelia stood anxiously in the crowded hall, surrounded by people all impatiently waiting for their appointments.A few guests recognized her right away. Their eyes narrowed with contempt as they leaned toward each other, whispering loud enough for her to hear every cruel word.“Oh look, isn’t that the granddaughter of Viscountess D’Arcy?” one noblewoman said with a sneer, her voice oozing mockery.“The D’Arcy family has one foot in the grave, yet they still shamelessly show up here hoping to grab a piece of the Golden Guild project.”“I heard the old viscountess married her granddaughter off to the poorest baron in Haventon. Pathetic. And now she’s here? Maybe she should be peddling potions in the back alleys instead.”Those bitter words quickly drew attention, and the gathered elite cast scornful eyes at Ophelia, barely hiding their cruel amusement behind silk fans and smirks of mockery.Ophelia tightened her fists till her nails bit deeply into her palms.She muttered so

Ophelia D’Arcy's voice sliced through the tense air like sharpened ice, her gaze colder than frostbite as she snapped, “I'm sorry, Grandpa Carrillo, but I don’t recall ever needing your help. And watch your filthy mouth! You're old enough to have grandchildren who are my friends—don't you have a shred of dignity left?”Robert Carrillo stood there stunned, his jaw hanging slack in disbelief.Rage and confusion battled across his wrinkled face. “Ophelia, I’m doing you a favor! Why are you still defending this worthless fool? Wake up and see reality—yes, I'm older, but I have wealth that could drown this pathetic bastard. What could he possibly offer you?”Alex Leonhard’s eyes flashed dangerously as he seized a glass from the table and hurled its icy contents straight into Robert's startled face.Dripping with chilling menace, Alex warned softly, “Better wake up, old man. Consider that a kindness—if I'd struck you with my hand, you’d already be dead.”“You insolent bastard!” Robert sputt

Looking at her parents, who were mercilessly ridiculing Alex Leonhard, Ophelia D’Arcy let out an exasperated sigh. Her voice, trembling with emotion yet fiercely determined, interrupted the mockery.“Dad, Mom, stop blaming Alex for everything. It was my decision. I just can't bear seeing our family mocked and humiliated any longer.”“Haven’t we endured enough shame all these miserable years?"Her voice softened slightly, eyes distant with a glimmer of uncertain hope."Besides, grandmother won't accept any more excuses this time. Someone has to step up to the challenge. Who knows? Maybe fortune will finally smile upon me.”Ophelia’s mother, incredulous and visibly panicked, blurted out harshly, “Have you lost your mind?”“Even if your grandmother herself crawled on her knees, begging at their gates, they wouldn't even glance her way! You’ll bring nothing home but disgrace!”Her father's eyes hardened as he snapped sharply, “Ophelia this time you made a mistake.”From the sidelines, Ale

Ophelia nearly leaped from her seat in shock, her eyes bulging wide as she whispered harshly, "Alex, have you gone completely mad? It’s utterly impossible! The Golden Guild would never partner with an insignificant family like ours!"But Alex merely smiled, calm and unnaturally confident, his voice steady as he whispered persuasively, "Relax, Ophelia. You’re always saying I’m nothing more than a jobless fool. So why not let this fool try?”“I'll prepare the proposal. It'll carry your name—who knows? Maybe fortune will finally smile upon us.""Alex—" Ophelia hesitated, uncertainty wavering in her voice."Come now, Ophelia," Alex urged more insistently, eyes blazing with unexpected determination."We have nothing left to lose, and everything to gain. At worst, we fail quietly, but at best—we rise triumphantly.”“Besides, look at your grandmother. She’ll erupt into flames if no one steps up."Ophelia felt herself slipping into resignation—after all, they were already at the bottom.What

“Fine,” Alex exhaled deeply, the weight of guilt hidden beneath his stoic exterior. “Exactly how much is this damned debt?”“Half a million,” Peter replied tersely.“And?” Alex pressed impatiently.“I've settled them all. I refuse to attend university while people whisper that I still owe money.”With a dramatic flourish, Alex swung his bag onto the table, swiftly drawing out half a million dollars in crisp bills and slamming them down.Peter and Yuri stared, mouths agape.“Take this cash and get yourselves to university immediately!”“Where did you get this money?” Yuri gasped, eyes wide with disbelief.“I won it gambling,” Alex smirked devilishly. “Now leave before I gamble it all away again!”Peter snatched the money greedily, gripping it tightly. Yuri paused at the threshold, turning back briefly, whispering softly, “Thank you.”She bolted out into the night.Soon after, Ophelia approached Alex, urgency blazing in her eyes. “Alex, Grandma’s summoned us to the D’Arcy mansion.
