Walden, who had been silent up until now, couldn’t resist adding his voice.
All this time, he hadn’t spoken a word.
He was still bitter about the collaboration with the Welsh Max Corporation being monopolized by only two members of the Marshall family.
But now, he couldn’t hold back anymore and wanted to ridicule Alexander.

Very quickly, the hotel staff brought in a set of tools.Blaze took them, put on white gloves, and held a flashlight and magnifying glass, carefully examining the Jade Dragon.Just by looking at Blaze’s professional demeanor, everyone took a deep breath.If an antique appraisal expert like Blaze took this seriously, it must have some real significance. Could it be that Alexander stumbled upon some unbelievable luck and bought a genuine item for 600 thousand?"Could this really be authentic? Didn’t someone just say it’s a glass replica? How reliable was that?""Haha, do you really need to ask? Don’t you know the stuff sold at antique markets? All of it is fake technology.""Those antique dealers are all sly old foxes. Why would they sell something genuine for cheap? Nowadays, finding a treasure is harder than reaching the sky. Don’t overthink it. Besides, that poor guy can’t be lucky enough to find a real treasure."A group of close friends whispered to each other, though they all felt

Eleanor’s lips curved into a small smile, the weight in her heart finally lifting. Alexander had managed to prove himself, just once.Seeing Eleanor smile, Alexander smiled too. As long as Eleanor was happy, so was he.Laurie glared at Alexander, feeling her face burn with embarrassment. The words and actions she had just done seemed to turn into slaps, landing squarely on her face.This wretched, poor loser made her lose face in front of everyone! If she ever got the chance again, she swore she’d crush him underfoot!Tommy hung his head, his body shr

Standing up and adjusting his clothes, Phineas walked towards the door of the private room, a bright smile already forming on his face: "Uncle Phillips, it's me, Phineas Nichols, son of Ashwin Nichols. My father and I have visited you before.""Hmm?"Bowen Phillips paused for a moment, then smiled coldly, the smile not reaching his eyes: “Oh, it's you. Then you should know better and quickly give up this room."Phineas froze, stunned that even after dropping his father's name, Bowen Phillips still didn't show him any respect. Laurie, Tommy, and the others began to feel uneasy. The lingering resentment from earlier—when Alexander's Jade Dragon had stolen the spotlight—was building, and with Phineas's earlier words fueling their courage, they turned their anger towards Bowen at the door."Phillips, are you going to stop or not? Phineas was polite to you, which is already a favor. Don't push your luck.""Some people, give them a little sunshine, and they think they’re stars. Give them a
Once I Accept The Inheritance: You're All Doomed! Chapter 136: Won't Give Up The Room.
Right now, Phineas felt as though he was being boiled alive by the presence of Chairman Phillips. If this torment continued any longer, he feared he might cough up blood. His spine, once upright, had bent into a full bow, his pride completely crushed. All that was left of Phineas was humility.Bent over like a shrimp, Phineas said with deep reverence: “I didn’t realize Chairman Phillips needed the room, and we misunderstood earlier. If we had known, we would have given it up right away. Please forgive us, Chairman Phillips. It would be our great honor to vacate the room for you."At that moment, Phineas had thrown away all his dignity and pride. As long as he could leave the room unharmed, he didn’t care about anything else.“Hmph.”Remington stood with his hands behind his back, belly protruding, exuding arrogance as he let out a long, dissatisfied huff.Seeing Remington’s displeasure, Phineas panicked immediately.Bowen, standing to the side, had a menacing look in his eyes, like a

Eleanor was equally shocked. She couldn’t believe Alexander would stir things up even more when they had finally calmed the situation.Bowen’s face darkened with fury. He had been ready to let the grudge go, but now, his anger reignited. He could barely contain it.But the person most shocked was Remington!Hearing that familiar voice, he looked up to see Alexander smiling. His mind exploded with the realization—Young Master!It never occurred to him that the Young Master of the Dragon Sect would be here!What had he just done?He had tried to take the Young Master’s room!And he had allowed Bowen to teach a lesson to the Young Master’s family!Damn it, he hadn’t just run into a steel wall; he had crashed straight into a mountain!To Remington, the Dragon Sect was as towering as a mountain. Even if you smashed yourself to pieces, you couldn’t move it an inch!Cold sweat trickled down Remington’s back.As Remington was about to apologize, the Marshall family had already reacted.Laurie

After reaching this conclusion, they all immediately felt that Remington was just a man of high moral character. Otherwise, there was no other way to explain what had just happened.Phineas and Tommy's group immediately felt a deep sense of regret.They realized that they shouldn't have been scared earlier. If one of them had been the first to stand up and speak frankly, they'd be the one in the spotlight now, instead of letting this useless Alexander steal all the glory!"Chairman Phillips is truly a good man. Who would've thought that not only is he reasonable, but he also knows right from wrong? We really misjudged him before.""That's right. People often say it's easy to meet the King of Hell, but it's the little demons who are hard to deal with. That Bowen guy is the real problem. If we had just reasoned with Chairman Phillips, things wouldn't have gotten so tense.""Some people just happen to succeed out of sheer luck. Don't think that doing this makes you any more respectable.

"I didn’t order any of this! Why did you serve it? I’m not paying for it!" Phineas declared, deciding to shamelessly refuse.The entire Emperor’s Banquet was close to 150 million. Even with all the cash and bank balance Phineas had, it only added up to a little over nine million.Though Phineas’s net worth was high, he didn’t have that much liquid cash. The rest of his wealth was tied up in investments and couldn’t be withdrawn immediately.Better to admit defeat now than be unable to pay when the bill came.Rodger looked at th

Although Rodger was furious, seeing how eagerly Alexander was eating, he could only swallow his anger.Boris had already laid out the feast, and it couldn’t be sent back now. Not eating would only embarrass Boris, so whether or not there was something off about this meal, they had to eat: “Eat up, eat up. Since Director Vega sent it over, let's enjoy it. A famous person like Director Vega wouldn’t poison us. Afterward, Alexander can stay behind to handle the remaining formalities. After all, it’s all a gift for him."Rodger washed his hands of any responsibility, placing it all on Alexander. Whatever happened, it would be Alexander who would suffer. Seeing how Alexander devoured the food, the others, with their stomachs growling, also picked up their chopsticks and started eating.Phineas was the fastest eater, channeling his anger into his appetite. He thought: 'If I don’t eat this free meal, it would be a waste. Face is already lost, so I might as well eat more to make up for it, bu

Please continue reading there.***Looking at the smile on Alexander’s face, Devlin felt as if he was seeing the real-life version of a devil’s grin.The smile was truly terrifying and horrifying. 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. What do you want to know?"Finally, Devlin admitted defeat.Gabe scratched his head, silently thinking that Young Master Reynolds was really something. Besides, Young Master Reynolds was cruel enough. Stepping on one of Devlin’s hands, he was definitely the epitome of a villainous character.Laurie looked at Nana and,

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. Finally, h

The mention of Tome was like a scar being ripped open in Laurie's heart. Nana's blunt remark made her grit her teeth in anger."Hmph! You little vixen, are you after Alexander? I’m warning you, Alexander belongs to the Marshall family. You’re not allowed to have any ideas about him. Eleanor, you need to be careful of this little seductress. 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. He couldn’t help but admire his master—only a truly powerful man could have women fighting over him.If it were an ordinary man, no woman would care.Let alone compete for him. A man who had women competing for him was proof of his greatness.Alexande

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
Chapter 395: Only Bringing Trouble.
After visiting Mary, Alexander, Nana, and Nico left the hospital and drove back to the company.Pushing open Eleanor’s office door, Alexander saw her working and smiled: “Honey, what are you busy with?"Eleanor lifted her head to look at Alexander, then glanced at Nana and Nico behind him, feeling slightly suspicious.Earlier, Alexander had left on his own, but now he had returned with Nana—and Nico was with them too?Could it be that Nico was secretly helping Alexander and Nana stay in touch, covering for their secret meetings?A flood of thoughts raced through Eleanor’s mind, and she gradually felt a tinge of jealousy."What were you all doing just now?" 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. His ambition is truly terrifying!”Wilbur quickly added: “You’re right. Alexander really has a fierce ambition. I’ve seen through this guy’s ambitions long ago. He m

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
