The Indestructible Alexander Chapter 181
Alex walked to the forest near the lake, carefully choosing a secluded spot.The cool breeze rustled the leaves, as he began to build an A-frame shelter.He found two sturdy sticks, placing them in the ground at an angle to form an "A" shape.With steady hands, he laid a longer stick across the top, then meticulously draped branches and leaves over it for cover.As nightfall descended, the forest grew darker, and the sounds of distant owls and crickets filled the air.Alex worked tirelessly, his breath visible in the cold night air.He struck a match and lit a small fire in front of his makeshift camp, the flames casting flickering shadows on the trees around him.After about an hour of working in the darkness, his simple tent was finally finished, just enough to offer shelter.He pulled out his old military bag, the worn fabric rough against his hands, and took out the emergency food rations.Sitting by the fire, Alex ate in silence, the crackling of the flames the only sound accompa

One student raised his hand. “Sir, it is impossible for humans like us to become gods.”The old man’s gaze was sharp.“Then you can return to where you came from. Don’t waste your time here,” he said without hesitation.“So, does that mean I cannot become a god if I don’t believe?” The student mocked. “Is it all about faith?”“No,” the old man replied. “How can you reach a place you refuse to see? Or how can you arrive at a destination that you deny with every fiber of your being? You’ll be wasting your time. Even if you somehow arrive, you still won’t see it.”The teachings at the academy ended by noon, leaving the afternoon free for everyone to pursue their own paths.Inside the academy, there were two kinds of people.The first were the nobles and the wealthy.They came to learn, but if they failed to reach the top, they used their time to forge connections with other nobles and rich businessmen, planning to build networks that spanned across the world.The second kind were the poo

The old teacher continued his lesson in the amphitheatre, his voice echoing off the stone walls. “There’s a saying from Lao Tzu, ‘The world is a small place; you don’t need to leave home to see everything.’”He paused, letting the words sink in. “Does anyone know why he said that?”One of the students raised his hand and answered, “Because we have the internet?”A few others chuckled at the response.The teacher smiled gently. “Yes, but in the old days, they didn’t have the internet. So how could they see everything?”Silence filled the space as the students, all first-years, struggled to find an answer.“The answer,” the teacher began, “is the heart. The non-physical heart, where your feelings reside. This is the most powerful tool you can use to connect with the divine power. If you understand your heart, you can see everything in this world without ever leaving home.”Another student, skeptical, raised his hand. “I don’t believe it. Can you prove it?”The old man smiled. “Have you

In one of the restaurants inside the Academy, which was bustling, filled with the scents of various dishes, a senior who had spent eight years studying on academy decided to teach his juniors.The warmth of the dining hall contrasting with the coolness of the evening outside.As they having their meal, the senior spoke, his voice carrying a tone of wisdom that had come from years of learning."In the whole existence, there is a God, the True Source of everything. And just as there is a God, there is also a Darkness, with a name that cannot be spoken."The juniors, who was listening intently while having dinner, looked up, curiosity etched on their face."Below God, there are Angels who work to control the whole existence. On the dark side, there are Fallen Angels, just as strong as them," the senior continued."From the True Source side, there are also gods, deities, or spirits. And on the dark side, there are Devils, Titan, Demons, Imps, and all dark creatures. And in the middle of i

Panic spread among the other dark followers.“What happened?” one of them demanded, fear evident in his voice.“The curse... it backfired,” the stricken follower gasped, blood trickling down his chin.“How could this happen?” another follower asked, his voice trembling as he looked at his fallen comrade, dread creeping into his heart.The senior follower added, “If Alex has a more powerful demon or a demon guardian, the demon we sent to execute the curse would be terrified. It would abandon its mission and turn on us instead.”“I don’t understand,” said another junior follower, confusion etched on his face.“Let me put it this way,” the senior explained. “Imagine I give you a knife to stab Alex. But when you approach him, you discover he’s protected by a formidable fighter. The fighter gives you a choice: either die by his hand or return to your master and stab them instead.”The junior’s eyes widened as understanding dawned on him. “So the demon we sent to Alex chose to return and st

One student quickly asked, "Master, how can we connect to the soul?"The old master smiled gently, the lines on his face deepening with wisdom. "There is a teaching from ancient Egypt about how to access the soul," he said, his voice soft yet resonant."And every one of you almost uses it daily."Curiosity sparked in the students’ eyes as they leaned in closer."What is it, Master?" another student asked, unable to hide the eagerness in his voice."Dreams," the master explained."Our body is physical, born from the earth, but our soul is life itself. It is like gods and demons in soul form—non-physical and eternal. When you sleep, you set aside your mind and physical brain. Instead, you operate through your soul.""But dreams are so random," one student murmured, a frown creasing his forehead."The randomness of dreams is always shaped by your desires and your negative emotions," the master replied, his tone now more serious."The more you crave and cling to these desires, the more yo

Alex looked around, his eyes filled with desperation as he took in his surroundings.He was 10 years old and poor, his clothes ragged and filthy, his body a testament to the harsh life he had endured.The streets had been his home for too long, ever since the war had ravaged the land and left him with nothing.Life had lost its value, and he knew this might be his last chance to change his fate.He had heard that the King of Qin would be passing through the area, and if the king took a liking to him or offered him work, he could finally have enough to eat.The thought of a full belly was a distant dream, but one worth risking everything for. The alternative was certain death by starvation.As the royal convoy approached, Alex joined the others, kneeling on the dirt road as the king's carriage drew near.But as it was about to pass him by, something inside him snapped.He couldn't let this opportunity slip away. With a burst of adrenaline, he leapt to his feet and rushed forward, start

The old master, noticing Alex’s bewilderment, smiled knowingly. "I wanted to show you," he said, "that the memory of the soul is much clearer than the memories of your brain. ““When you access the memories of the soul, you can see everything in vivid detail. The soul records memories in the aether, where they last forever, captured with a perception that transcends the physical."Alex nodded slowly, still trying to process what he had just experienced. It was more than a memory; it was as if he had truly lived those 49 years.The old master stood before his students, his eyes full of quiet wisdom. "Has anyone here successfully accessed their soul memories?" he asked, his voice carrying an air of mystery."I will grant a special gift to those who have."Silence followed his question. No one raised their hand. Alex, though he had experienced more than he could explain, kept his hand down too.He didn't want to stand out, knowing that drawing too much attention could lead to problems, a

“Honestly, Robert, how could you even think I'd have a hand in your bankruptcy? As much as I'd relish seeing your downfall, I don't wield that kind of power.”Alex turned his back, voice dripping with disdain and a cruel satisfaction glinting briefly in his eyes.Truthfully, it had been Jessica Golden who orchestrated the entire catastrophe, executing it like a masterful conductor of a twisted symphony.At the moment Robert fled in wild desperation, rushing to salvage what remained of his burning empire, Philips sauntered casually into the glittering hall alongside his sister Olivia and her fiancé Michael.Philips’s steps slowed when he saw Robert's haunted face.He quickened his pace, feigning concern, and exclaimed dramatically, “Sir Robert! Rumor has it tragedy’s befallen your house—is it as terrible as it sounds?”Robert shoved Philips away violently, eyes frantic, muttering hysterically, "It's over… everything’s gone… it's all finished…”Philips seized Robert's trembling shoulder

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
