The silver car tore through the empty highway at top speed, the engine roaring in the dead silence of the night. It was already past midnight, and the roads were almost completely deserted.
Only a few scattered streetlights blurred past as Alex drove, his hands steady on the wheel, his mind far away.
A faint smile played on his lips.
What a night it had been.
In just a few hours, so many things had happened.
He had finally come face to face with the true powers of this world... the Sacred Order. He had even been beaten down by Elyria, a Peak Apex realm cultivator, and yet he survived. A wider smile formed on his lips at the memory.
In the end, everything had gone well.
He was genuinely pleased to learn that Elyria and Viktor were connected. Their relationship would make things significantly easier for him in the future.
As for Heena… Alex's smile deepened slightly.
