2024-07-21 02:42:38"Idiot, useless! You can't even manage to watch over a car properly, letting someone scratch Young Master Roberts' car like this!"
"Absolutely useless, I shouldn't have hired you! Stupid, useless!"
In front of Ava Beautiful Spa stood a fat man in a suit, relentlessly berating a young man in his early twenties. The young man, named Alexander Reynolds, was working as a guard and car attendant at the spa because he couldn't find any other job.
Earlier, another car had accidentally scratched Peyton Roberts' car, a young master from the city's elite family, when its door was opened. It wasn't Alexander's fault, but as the guard, he bore the brunt of the excessive criticism.
"Half of your month's salary will be deducted!"
"But I only earn $3000 a month, if you deduct half then..."
"No more talking, or do you want to pay for the scratch on Young Master Roberts' car? Even if you sold your miserable life, it wouldn't be enough to cover it!"
Alexander remained silent. He couldn't afford to pay, but losing half a month's salary was too much.
He wasn't always this poor. If it weren't for the day his mother took him away from the Reynolds family—the top aristocratic family in the region—he wouldn't be struggling like this.
For years, he endured all this humiliation for the sake of his wife and daughter. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to withstand the insults from others.
"Yes, someone like you is truly shameless. Poor and daring to aim high, dreaming of marrying Miss Marshall. Everyone knows what disgraceful means you used to get her into bed, forcing her to marry you." Peyton Roberts added, pointing directly at Alexander, almost wanting to slap him.
But Alexander could only endure it. This familiar situation had been occurring for the past few years since he married Eleanor Marshall. He became famous for being useless and incompetent, constantly despised and humiliated. They believed he was unworthy of Eleanor, and he couldn't argue back.
Finally, after Peyton and the manager left, Alexander was left alone with his parking duty. He hung his head, filled with humiliation, anger, and an overwhelming sense of endurance that couldn't be expressed.
A few minutes later, a pair of shiny leather shoes appeared beside Alexander's feet. Looking up, he saw an elderly man sincerely looking at him, saying:
"Young Master, it's been four years, you should return. Dragon Master has instructed me to bring you back to Dragon Sect."
"Dragon Sect is now in turmoil, Dragon Master is critically ill, and Elder Young Master is in a coma. Only you can lead Dragon Sect."
Outside Ava Beautiful Spa, a Rolls-Royce Phantom was parked, with an old man standing by the door, speaking to Alexander with a pleading face.
The old man was dressed in a formal suit, wearing a black hat and holding a gold and black cane.
"It's been four years, thank you for still remembering me."
Alexander's lips curled into a cold smile, his eyes calm, devoid of any illusions about Dragon Sect.
"Back then, my father listened to that woman's words and ruthlessly expelled my mother and me from Dragon Sect, like I was an illegitimate child, a bastard as they said! For all these years, did he ever care about my mother's and my well-being?"
"Now, he wants me to return, so I should go back? Am I, Alexander Reynolds, a dog of Dragon Sect? Summoned to come, chased to go?"
"I am married now, I don't need anyone's pity, especially from Dragon Sect! Leave, don't bother me anymore!"
Alexander said coldly, striding back into the spa, leaving the old man sighing repeatedly at the door.
Dragon Sect, the world's largest mysterious organization, held the most top-notch resources in medicine and minerals, possessing the richest fortunes!
Power beyond measure!
No one dared to provoke them, the oldest hereditary family!
Within Dragon Sect, the master was Dragon Master, under him were the 8 great Dragon Kings, each reigning supreme, wielding immense wealth and power!
And the masters of martial arts, extraordinary kung fu experts from around the world, were all disciples of Dragon Sect, all obeying Dragon Master!
Alexander pushed the door open, and the spa employees looked at him with strange eyes.
Alexander had been working here for four years, entirely a lowly figure.
Now, he was seen talking to someone who arrived in a Rolls-Royce, truly unbelievable…
As Alexander took a few steps, his phone rang in his pocket.
Looking at the caller ID, it was his wife, Eleanor Marshall.
"Hello, honey, what's up?" Alexander smiled as he answered.
Eleanor was a well-known beauty in Golden Harbor, one of the four great goddesses of the city.
However, people now mocked her for marrying a worthless man!
"Alexander! Come to the city hospital quickly! Something's happened to Mary!"
Eleanor's voice was urgent on the other end.
"Got it! I'm on my way!"
Without hesitation, Alexander told his manager and quickly ran out, hopping on his electric scooter, rushing to the hospital.
The Marshall family was a second-tier aristocratic family in Golden Harbor. Four years ago, Alexander met Eleanor by chance and became the live-in son-in-law of the Marshall family.
Their wedding had shocked Golden Harbor because it was the most impoverished and disgraceful wedding in the city's aristocratic history.
Alexander was poor with no background.
The Marshall family became a laughingstock among the elite of Golden Harbor.
For four years, Alexander lived cautiously in the Marshall family, enduring ridicule and harsh treatment.
Being a live-in son-in-law meant accepting such a role.
Moreover, Alexander needed the Marshall family's help because his mother required money for medical treatment.
At the hospital entrance, Eleanor had been waiting anxiously, looking both angry and worried.
When she saw Alexander arrive, her face turned cold, and she walked over, raising her hand.
Slap!
The crisp sound of a slap echoed at the hospital entrance, attracting the attention of passersby.
"Why did you take so long!"
Eleanor's eyes sparkled with tears, filled with fury.
Alexander was stunned, looking at his wife anxiously and asking: "Wif… Eleanor, what happened? How is Mary?"
Eleanor let her tears flow, burying her head in Alexander's chest, sobbing: "Mary... Mary has leukemia."
At this moment, the man who had lived a humble life for four years, the man who had made himself and the Marshall family a laughingstock in Golden Harbor, had become Eleanor's only support.
Thud!
Hearing this, Alexander's face froze, his pupils constricted, and he asked with trembling lips: "Leukemia? How can it be?”
Mary, of course, was the daughter of Alexander and Eleanor, just three years old.
In the hospital room, the Marshall family members were gathered around.
Mr. Marshall sat at the head of the bed, beside the adorable and lively little girl on the hospital bed, his eyes full of loving expressions.
Surrounded by the descendants of the Marshall family.
At this moment, seeing Alexander and Eleanor enter, a scolding voice exploded in the hospital room!
"Alexander! How dare this useless man show his face here, get out!"
Mother-in-law Valeria Jones, full of hatred, folded her arms and cursed!
This useless son-in-law was an embarrassment everywhere!
"Haha, I wondered who it was, turns out it's Alexander, what are you doing here, you good-for-nothing?"
From the side came a mocking voice, spoken by Tommy Marshall, the son of the eldest son of the Marshall family.
He had always disliked Alexander, a worthless person, and wondered how he could become the son-in-law of the Marshall family.
Moreover, because of him, the Marshall family had lost all face in Golden Harbor!
"Yes, what's a loser like him doing here?"
"Haiz, after all, he is Mary's father, it's right for him to visit."
"Shut up! Lower your voice, don't you see Mr. Marshall is here? Don't forget, in front or behind, Mary can only call him uncle."
At this point, everyone in the Marshall family room gave a cold laugh.
A man like Alexander, it was truly enough, he couldn't even acknowledge his daughter.
What a base person!

At this moment, Eleanor stepped forward and said to the old man: "Grandfather, Alexander is here."Mr. Marshall, with a head full of silver hair, wearing a white suit, let go of Mary's small soft hand, without looking at Alexander, and said to the butler beside him: "Bring him the papers to sign.""Yes, sir."The butler went up to Alexander, took out a document, and coldly said: "This is the divorce agreement between you and Miss Eleanor. Sign it and Mr. Marshall will treat young Miss Mary. Rest assured, Mr. Marshall has found a donor for Mary's marrow, and you don't need to worry about the treatment costs."Hearing this, Alexander's eyes filled with emotion, he looked at the butler with confusion and anger, then turned to Mr. Marshall and said: "Grandfather, Mary is my daughter, why not use my marrow?""Shut your mouth!"Mr. Marshall shouted, his cold eyes staring at Alexander, gripping his cane: "Do you deserve to be Mary's father?

Eleanor stood by, hearing Mary call Alexander "Dad." waves of emotion surged within her, tears streaming down."Oh no! This girl must be feverish and confused. How could this loser be her dad?"Someone mumbled beside them.Old Mr. Marshall's face also darkened, turning to sit down, taking Mary's small hand: "Mary, have you forgotten what Grandpa said? He's not your dad!"This cold admonition made adorable Mary pout, tears welling up.She looked at Alexander, mustering the courage in the angry gazes of those around, extending her small white hand: "He's my dad, I want my dad by my side...""Silence! He's not your dad! Having Grandpa with you is enough."Old Mr. Marshall's face was icy, directly rejecting, without turning back, saying to Alexander: "You have two days to think, for Mary's sake, you know what to do."Alexander's heart ached terribly, looking at his daughter on the hospital bed. For three years, it was the first time she called him dad.No matter what, he had to cure Mary!

Mr. Marshall began to ask politely, having already grasped the situation from the conversation earlier.The Reynolds family sent such valuable medical equipment and drugs, showing their status and power were far beyond what the Marshall family could compare to.Mr. Lewis just smiled, looking at Alexander, and said: "I only came to deliver the items; I don't know the rest."With that, he left the hospital room.Immediately, the people in the room fell silent."Who exactly is this Reynolds family, and why did they send these things? Does anyone know anyone from the Reynolds family?" Mr. Marshall asked.The Marshall family members shook their heads."Grandpa, maybe it's Alexander." To

Besides, he will always be Mary's father, unless he doesn't want us anymore."Hearing this, Lisa stamped her foot angrily: "Eleanor, how can you be so foolish! What's so good about that useless man?"Eleanor turned, looking at the agitated Lisa: "Alright, Lisa, I know you mean well, but this is my matter."Lisa opened her mouth to say something, but restrained herself and said: "It's up to you, but I will do my best to separate you two!

Coupled with the pain in his hand at that moment, Devlin suddenly collapsed, unable to hold on any longer."If I tell you everything, will you let me go? What about my other brothers?" Devlin asked hesitantly."Of course, I’m Alexander, and I’m very trustworthy. I’ve never gone back on my word.” Alexander said."Alright, then I’ll tell you.

Alexander, unaware that a large operation was being set up against him, was sitting in the front passenger seat, feeling a headache.Nana and Laurie were in the back seat, arguing the entire way, neither willing to give up. The two were still bickering without lifting a finger.Alexander tried to intervene several times but couldn’t stop them, so he closed his eyes and pretended not to hear anything.Nico secretly chuckled and whispered to Alexander: “Master, isn’t this the so-called happy headache?”“Happy headache, my ass. It’s just a headache, not happy at all. Why has it turned into this? This shouldn’t be happening.” Alexander rubbed his temples, beginning to reflect on the past and wondering where he had gone wrong. Why had Laurie’s attitude changed so drastically?Could it be that Laurie had upgraded her tactics, feeling that the previous approach didn’t work on him, and thus had switched to a new one?The more Alexander thought about it, the more confused he became.

If you want, I can help you keep an eye on Alexander and go with him."Laurie finished speaking and smugly glanced at Nana, feeling as though she had come up with a perfect excuse.Nana clenched her teeth in fury, wanting to pounce on Laurie and bite her.The two women glared at each other, refusing to back down.Nico, meanwhile, quietly moved aside, feeling like he was watching a palace drama unfold.

Queen Master’s face darkened further, and the sense of unease in her heart grew stronger."So you’re saying that Alexander is much stronger than you?""He’s stronger than me, but if it came to a life-and-death battle, neither of us could be certain of the outcome.” the head of the guards replied, feeling that if it were a desperate fight, he still might be able to defeat Alexander, or at least injure both of them."Increase my protection level. I need the tightest security!"Queen Master said seriously."Understood, I will implement the highest level of protection."Queen Master weakly waved her hand, and the head of the guards smartly stepped back.Wilbur whispered: “Don’t worry too much about Alexander. I’ve already contacted several experts. In the end, we can make him unable to withstand it.""What about the development of the enhancement drug?" Queen Master asked abruptly.Wilbur was momentarily stunned, then quickly responded: “The enhancement drug isn’t stable yet. It has very

After hearing Alexander’s report, Ward immediately understood what was going on.“Young Master Reynolds, I know those people. They are from Southern Mountain, a bunch of hot-headed drifters. They know how to keep a low profile, and it’s basically impossible to catch them. The only way is to drive them away. How about this: I can send a small team to watch over your construction site and scare them off.”Ward intended to ensure his lover’s safety more securely. Since he had decided to curry favor, he would go all the way. He directly dispatched a small team to the construction site as security guards to make sure nothing happened there.“This only treats the symptoms, not the root cause. Moreover, if they pull off something else, we’ll be even more passive. Do you know their background? Tell me directly.”Ward pondered for a moment, tapping his fingers on a file on the table.“They have ties to the geomancer from last time. I suspect that it’s people from his sect who are unwilling to

Eleanor’s voice was slightly strained."I just finished some business and happened to run into Nana and Nico wandering around, so I took them to visit Mary. Lately, Mary has been learning all sorts of nonsense from the patients in the neighboring ward. Once her treatment is done, we should bring her home as soon as possible.""Oh, a

Joaquin sensing Queen Master’s thoughts, spoke slowly: “I think Alexander only has a few tricks up his sleeve. Xavier is an unruly fighter, relying solely on his physical strength. Anyone who undergoes proper training can defeat him.”“Joaquin, do you really think so?” Queen Master asked coldly.Joaquin shuddered, lowering his head in a panic, his voice mumbled: “I just speak my mind. I’m not saying it’s necessarily right.”“Hmph, while I may not understand everything, I know the basics. Xavier may not be a top-tier fighter, but he can still reach the level of a high-ranking fighter.”“Among the Dragon Sect’s guards, there are plenty of people stronger than Xavier. But if we talk about who could easily overpower Xavier like Alexander did, I’m afraid not many could. Over the years, Alexander must have been biding his time.

Joaquin respectfully said to Queen Master: “Thank you for upholding justice for me, Queen Master. I am truly, truly grateful.”“Enough with the pretense. You said you wanted to get close to Alexander and obtain the secret key. Why haven’t I seen any progress?”“I’ve been waiting for the right opportunity. I can’t make it too obvious, don’t you think?” Joaquin replied with a sycophantic smile.“Hmph!”Queen Master snorted coldly, dismissing Joaquin.Just then, Wilbur entered with a tournament schedule in hand, frowning slightly: “The match between Alexander and Xavier has been canceled. I’m still investigating the exact reason.”“Canceled? What happened?” Queen Master’s expression darkened with displeasure.Knock, knock, knock.The door to the private room was knocked upon, and Thorne entered with a bowed head, his posture humble.Thorne only knew that the people inside this room were of high status, but he had no idea who they were or what their ranks were.“Good evening.

Alexander took Nico and Nana to Mary’s hospital room. When Mary saw Alexander, she immediately rushed into his arms and happily kissed his face.“Dad, you finally came to visit me. Who are these uncle and aunt?”Mary tilted her head and looked at Nico and Nana.Nico’s face twitched. Based on status, he should be on the same level as Mary, but he wasn’t sure whether he was considered an older or younger brother of Mary.“Mary, this is my disciple Nico. You can call him ‘brother’.” Alexander said.“Ah?” Mary looked at Nico carefully, and Nico forced out an awkward yet polite smile.“This is my brother? But he’s older than Dad.”Mary said innocently.Nico’s smile cracked, feeling a bit uncomfortable.“Mary, this is your sister Nana.” Alexander continued with the introduction.Nana puffed her cheeks and said unhappily: “Alexander, the way you introduced me isn’t right. Mary should call me ‘aunt,’ otherwise the family hierarchy will be messed up.”“She’s so beautiful, she’s not an aunt, sh
