"Is my father's life in danger?" Henry's voice cracked, panic spilling out.

"No," Alex answered firmly.

"Your father isn't in any life-threatening danger. He's as strong as a million bulls. Honestly, I doubt any of you could stop him right now."

"Then what's happening to him?" Henry demanded.

“He tried to break through level one hundred," Alex explained.

"He used an extremely rare elixir-its power is overwhelming. If he had stayed asleep, the energy would have fused safely. But someone woke him early."

"Now that energy is flooding his body. He can't contain it. That's why he's destroying everything in sight. When the elixir burns out, the power will fade, and he'll return to normal."

The mansion, once proud and imposing, now looked like a war zone.

"Explode!" Samuel roared, his eyes bloodshot, his face twisted into a savage mask.

He tore through walls, crushed pillars, splintered trees-anything in his path was reduced to rubble.

"Guards uick! Stop Mr. Prescott!" Benjamin's shout was hoarse with fear.

Guards rushed in, shields raised. Samuel's palm lashed out, and the impact sent them crashing through the air, blood spraying from their mouths.

He bellowed like a wild beast, and with every strike, men were flung like rag dolls. None could stand against him.

Screams filled the courtyard, but Samuel's fury was unstoppable.

"Oh no! Grandfather has gone mad!" Frederick shouted, running to Henry's side.

His eyes darted toward Alex, blazing with suspicion. "Uncle! It's that kid! He's the one who drove Grandfather insane. Capture him!”

"That's right!" Benjamin snarled, his voice trembling with rage.

"I knew this boy had evil intentions. He poisoned Father, and now look at him! He must be punished!"
