The Indestructible Alexander Chapter 269
The next morning, Cassandra awoke abruptly from her deep cultivation.As she surveyed her surroundings, she noticed the remnants of a campfire, and the sky was already a bright shade of blue.Alex opened his eyes and remarked, "You shouldn't be cultivating in the middle of the night and in the middle of nowhere!"Still feeling a bit dazed, Cassandra had never experienced such a deep cultivation session before.Her body brimmed with energy, and she felt remarkably light.Glancing around, she saw about ten Horned Boar carcasses lying nearby."You protected me through the night?" she asked, finally realizing how vulnerable she had been while deeply immersed in cultivation outdoors.She could have easily been in danger."You didn't give me much of a choice," Alex replied, standing up."We're going to be late for the institute, and I need to maintain my perfect attendance for my scholarship."He glanced wistfully at the carcasses. If only he had a space storage ring, he could take them wit

Alex's heart was already set on Sofie; Cassandra was only a faint shadow in his mind.Without much thought, he said, "Alright, I'll help you with the massage technique to treat your illness every three days. Follow my instructions, take those herbs, and you'll be fine.""Okay," Cassandra whispered, nodding silently."Show me the bruised area?" Alex asked.Cassandra's cheeks flushed as she pointed to the back of her foot. "Here."Alex looked down, his frown deepening as he saw the deep purple bruise on her silky white skin. "That's serious.""Luckily, it's on your foot, so it'll be easier to treat." He sat down and carefully grabbed Cassandra's leg. "I'll be done soon.""Alright," Cassandra said quietly, placing her foot on his leg.The warmth of her smooth skin under his hands made Alex's heart skip a beat. Her slender calves seemed even more delicate in this moment."Don't get the wrong idea," Alex said, meeting her eyes. "I'm only helping with your injury. The girl I like is Sofie.

When class started, Vlad cast a dejected glance at Sofie.Despite her high status, Sofie was warm and friendly with everyone—not just him.Vlad had always believed that Sofie should reserve her kindness solely for him, being the successor to a Duke.But she quickly bonded with many of the girls in class, even the commoners.Any boy who dared approach her, however, would inevitably find himself summoned by Vlad to the back of the institute for a little "chat."With an important test approaching in two months, both Vlad and Sofie were confident they'd advance to the junior Enhance Fighter class.Vlad glanced at Alex, sitting at the back of the room, and smirked."Bronze rank fighter in two months? If trash like you can pull that off, pigs might fly. Just wait—if I don't break your bones today, my name isn’t Vlad," he muttered, signaling to a few of his noble friends.When the institute's bell rang, signaling the end of class, Cassandra approached Alex’s table."Alex, you've helped me so

Alex believed that training with someone as talented as Cassandra could accelerate his progress. Without hesitation, he responded,"Sure. Let's exchange numbers."He pulled out a small device that looked like a smartphone, though it was merely a budget version, functional only within the city and nearby areas due to its dependence on the local tower network.Cassandra happily shared her number in front of everyone.Previously, some female students had approached her, asking, "Why do you get close to that loser? He's the bottom of the class. Why not hang around with us?"She simply ignored them, as she didn't care what others thought; she'd always been a lone wolf.She believed that those who mocked and looked down on Alex were ignorant.One day, they'd realize they were wrong.Only she knew his true talent.In the classroom, Sofie and Vlad were stunned.They couldn't believe what they were seeing."How is this happening?" Vlad muttered, his face darkening. "How could someone like Cas

Shenny was momentarily speechless.Since class began, Alex had been dozing off, yet he claimed to already know the material she was teaching—and even went so far as to try to teach them himself.Who would believe him?"I wonder if you even know the inscription pattern on the board," she sneered. "Why don't you enlighten us about it?"Alex glanced at the intricate design. "It's a low-grade fire inscription, barely a Bronze pattern," he said."It has 35 foundation rune patterns in its structure—weak. Good enough to warm a bed, perhaps. But the Bolton family thinks this is one of their ancestors' best creations, yet it's just a lie."The class erupted in laughter."He didn't hear a word!" a student guffawed. "Says the Scarlet Sunburst Pattern has 35 foundation rune patterns when Teacher Shenny just taught us it has 30!""Used to warm a bed?!" another laughed until tears streamed down his face.Sofie stifled a smile, but Vlad Bolton's face darkened.Alex had just insulted a Bronze pattern

Shenny clenched her fists so tightly that her knuckles turned white.Across the crowd, Vlad's glare burned into Alex, his eyes seething with hatred.Alex was openly tarnishing the Bolton family’s reputation.Noticing Shenny and Vlad’s hostile stares, Alex smirked inwardly.‘Typical of the Boltons,’ he thought. ‘When they couldn’t handle the truth, they pointed fingers. If they had nothing to hide, why fear being exposed?’“The truth does not change according to your ability to stomach it!” Alex said to shenny and, clearing his throat theatrically.“So, students,” he announced, slipping into a teacher’s tone.“Today, I’ll teach you how to create a Fireball Inscription, step by step. Follow carefully, and you’ll be able to launch a fireball.”The students’ eyes lit up with excitement.Elder Grey Robes, Edison, and Roberto exchanged shocked glances. It was unheard of—a new student teaching the craft of inscriptions, and a high-rank fireball one at that.Even they struggled with it!“Take

Alex’s sharp words sliced through the air, striking directly at the Bolton family's storied reputation, all while he maintained an innocent façade.Shenny and Vlad glared daggers at him, their faces taut as they struggled to contain their mounting fury.A ripple of murmurs spread through the assembled students."Wait, so the first house master of the Bolton family was like that?" one student whispered."I heard he was a gold-rank Enhance Fighter and a master of inscriptions," another replied."Supposedly the creator of the sixteen famous Bolton Flame inscriptions. Maybe it's all just talk.""Never thought the Scarlet Sunburst was copied from some ancient book," a third student mused."I've read about inscriptions," someone added. "If they come from ancient texts, the source should be mentioned—not claimed as original work."The whispers grew louder, each one chipping away at the Bolton family's integrity.Those who once admired their inscription mastery now questioned if the family ha

The gray-robed elder nodded thoughtfully. "Roberto, arrange a library clerk position for him.""Yes!" Roberto responded promptly.He knew of the elder's fondness for talented individuals.Despite Alex's lackluster innate ability, his profound knowledge—like being able to read the Book of the Fire God—made him exceptional.As a library clerk, Alex could delve deeper into such ancient texts.In Miracle City, most people prioritized cultivating their combat abilities.Few invested time in studying ancient books. The elder's arrangement also served to protect Alex.Working inside the school as part of the Institute, the Bolton family would find it harder to suppress him.But did Alex fear the Bolton family's suppression?In his past life, he might have cowered, but not now. He wouldn't swallow his grievances. He had a score to settle with the Boltons.Shenny glared at Alex with cold hatred. "I'll remember this!" she spat.Vindictive by nature and as his teacher, she had plenty of ways to

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?"
Chapter 454
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.
