The Indestructible Alexander Chapter 246
At the conclusion of the auction, Arthur glared daggers at Alex, his eyes ablaze with fury.Beside him, Katerina, Lisa, and Lyra mirrored his anger, their faces tight with resentment.But Alex remained unperturbed.Seated comfortably in the VIP room, he meticulously examined the array of items he had won, a satisfied smile playing on his lips.Nearly every artifact that was supposed to end up in Arthur's hands now belonged to him.With such a trove of treasures, Alex felt confident he was well-equipped to seize what Arthur's destined spoils.Yet, despite his triumph, Alex knew better than to let success cloud his judgment.Dangers still lurked in the shadows, and for now, maintaining a low profile was crucial.He wasn't ready to make bold moves—not until he could rightfully claim his place as the ruler of this world.A knock at the door pulled him from his thoughts.A servant from the auction house stepped in. "Master Roberto and Master Alex, please follow me to the hall to collect yo

Roberto stared at Alex in utter disbelief.They had just spent a fortune in gold to purchase the slaves, and now Alex was setting them free without hesitation.It defied every instinct Roberto had as a merchant.Yet, he held his tongue, aware that there was more to Alex than met the eye.After all, he had witnessed Alex generate incredible profits, like with the cannabis trade. So Roberto decided to trust him and simply observed.The slaves were equally stunned, unable to grasp what had just happened."This must be a joke, right?" one of them murmured, disbelief heavy in their voice.Alex shook his head. "You're free to go wherever you wish. But if you have nowhere to go, you can follow Roberto. He will arrange work for you, and you'll be paid fairly, like free people."A dwarf stepped forward cautiously. "Where would you have us work?" he asked."There's a place in the Mirestone Dukedom," Alex explained. "I've made an agreement with the Duke to use a portion of his land to cultivate

"Thank you, Master Alex," Avery big sister said, bowing humbly."My name is Sofia Ravenwood. Please forgive me for not introducing myself sooner, despite living under your roof for so long."Alex appreciated her graceful attitude and replied, "Starting today, you will have your own room on the first floor. No more staying underground."Sofia’s eyes filled with gratitude as she bowed again."Thank you for your kindness, Master.""Avery," Alex called, turning to her brother, "please prepare another room for Siris. She’ll be staying with us."The next two weeks passed peacefully.Sofia’s wounds began to heal, though slowly, and while she wasn’t fully recovered, she could move around and handle simple chores.She enjoyed cooking, and Alex trained her, Avery, and Siris in various household tasks so they could all share the responsibilities.Tanya, as usual, slept day and night, waking only to eat.Yet Alex could sense her power growing rapidly. She was accumulating energy while she slept,

"The bet is canceled because you're using someone else's results as your own!" Arthur declared.Alex glared at Arthur.Arthur was the hero of the academy, charming everyone. If he declared the bet unfair, it meant it was canceled."So be it, if you refuse to accept the outcome," Alex replied.He understood that forcing the issue would only make people hate him more. After all, he was already the infamous villain.Lyra stepped in front of Alex. "Where are you going? You're cheating on the bet, which means you lose! Now, honor the wager and end your life!"All eyes turned to Alex.He realized the saying was true: if you don't defend yourself, people will think you're weak and begin to take advantage of you.Suddenly, a gust of wind magic struck Lyra, knocking her backward.Before she hit the ground, Arthur caught her in his arms."What are you doing?" Arthur snapped.Tanya, standing behind Alex, glared angrily at Lyra. "Don't push your luck. Alex won the bet; you should honor it and acc

The accusation against Henry's daughter, Arriane, had caused a rift within the Emberleaf family.They quickly sided with Harold, the eldest, who held a higher rank in magic and wielded more influence.No one cared to delve deeper into the matter; instead, they quickly offered their congratulations to Harold."Congratulations, Lord Harold! You'll be the next leader of the Emberleaf family!" they exclaimed.Harold smirked confidently. "I'm planning to present the magic formula to the elders this afternoon, after contemplating it for a week," he announced smugly."I don't know how my niece managed to sneak into my room and steal the diagram, but Henry, you need to discipline your daughter!"Henry was furious. "How dare you accuse my daughter of stealing! That formula is her own creation!"Harold laughed dismissively. "Do you honestly believe a mere Rank 4 magician like Arriane could develop a Rank 7 magic formula? Even I've struggled with it for years! She clearly stole it from me.""Arr

The Elder gazed intently at both Harold and Arriane, his expression inscrutable.After a moment of heavy silence, he finally spoke. "Interesting," he mused.Harold's brow furrowed. "What's interesting?" he demanded."I believe one of you genuinely crafted this magic formula," the Elder replied. "I wanted to observe your reactions. Someone who toiled to recreate such an ancient spell would feel pride, joy, a sense of accomplishment. Yet both of you seem incredulous." He scrutinized their faces. "I may be old, but I've witnessed much in my time. Neither of you drew this diagram."Harold's eyes involuntarily flickered toward Arriane. She looked down, recalling the pride on Alex's face when he completed the formula for *Forest Rebirth*. The confidence and certainty he exuded were qualities she realized she lacked.Taking a deep breath, Arriane met the Elder's gaze. "You're right, Elder. The diagram was made after I commissioned it from a powerful Rank 8 magician. Through my connections, t

Alex was in a carriage returning to the Academy after two months.His carriage was empty since no one was willing to share it with him after his troubles with Arthur Fairhaven.Only Tanya accompanied him.When their long carriage reached the outer gate of the Academy, there was a commotion at the front, causing the whole procession to slow down.People were yelling loudly."Lord Alex! Where is Lord Alex?""Lord Alex, please answer!"A group of people kept calling his name.Alex opened the carriage door and found a group of people with the Emberleaf insignia."Are you Lord Alex?" they asked."I am indeed Alex, but not your lord," he replied.Some people were already yelling to the larger group when Arrianne rushed to Alex and quickly knelt before him."Lord Alex, it is great to meet you here," she said.Suddenly, the whole Emberleaf group—about a hundred people—bowed down to Alex, causing all the carriages to stop and people to open their doors to see what was happening.Arthur was amo

Arthur Fairhaven worshipped Zeus, the King of the Gods, with fierce pride.He relished the honor of being one of Zeus's chosen, as the god accepted only the best of the best as his followers.As the firstborn of Duke Fairhaven, Arthur always knew he was destined for success and respected by all.But recently, rumors had begun to swirl. Whispers echoed in the halls that he had been beaten in betting by the outcast, Alexander Leonhart.People were starting to question his status as a worshipper of Zeus, and news spread that Alex also had even bested him at the auction house.The humiliation ate at Arthur, leaving him with only one regret."That I didn't kill Alex sooner."Arthur's butler had died during a mission to steal Alex's belongings, and there was a strong possibility that Alex had someone backing him to commit the murder.Alex was supposed to be a worthless rat, but now Duke Mirestone and even the Emberleaf family had aligned with him.Arthur's fists clenched at the thought.

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.

“You're right…” Michael whispered hoarsely, his voice dripping with bitter resignation.He dropped his gaze to the floor, unable to meet anyone’s eyes as he imagined the volcanic fury that would soon erupt from his father and his grandfather Baron Dunsmore.He had utterly destroyed their family’s empire in one reckless move.He could already see their grand barony plunging into poverty, spiraling down into disgrace, just like Alex Leonhard’s pitiful house."I—I have to get home. Immediately," Michael stammered, dread gripping his heart like an iron fist.In no time at all, scandalous whispers stormed through the streets of Haventon, spreading faster than wildfire—The Golden Guild had brutally expelled the proud Dunsmore family.Rumors flew thick and vicious, speculation rife with venom.Though no one knew exactly what grave sin had provoked the Guild’s wrath, it was clear the Dunsmores had committed an unforgivable transgression.Overnight, their vast fortune shriveled, their lofty st
