Alexander pointed toward Barry, and a subordinate standing behind Thorne quickly approached, taking Barry’s phone and asking for a contact number.

"Call the first person in your contacts for me.”

Barry weakly instructed.

After the subordinate dialed, he held the phone to Barry's ear. Barry said a few words to the person on the other end, and his face lit up with joy.

But that joy was short-lived as it aggravated his injuries, making him grimace in pain.

“Ouch! It hurts so bad. You just wait—my backup is on the way, and then I’ll show you who really runs Golden Harbor.”

Thorne dragged a chair over and placed it behind Alexander. Once seated, Thorne pulled out a golden cigar box and slipped a cigar between Alexander's fingers.

A match of snow cedar wood was lit, releasing its distinct aroma.

The match lit the cigar, and Alexander took a puff before smiling: “Mr. Pittman, this is a fine cigar. The finest from Havana, rolled on the chests of young maidens, so it carries their fragrance.”

    Geanush glanced at Barry, his entire body shaking with fury. If it weren’t for Barry provoking Alexander, this calamity wouldn’t have befallen him.Geanush’s rage boiled over as he slapped Barry across the face: “You fool! How dare you provoke Young Master Reynolds? Have you lost your mind?”“Yes, yes, Mr. White is absolutely right. It’s all my fault. I deserve to die; I'll accept whatever punishment Young Master Reynolds deems fit.” Barry said, bowing his head, feeling a bitterness sharper than swallowing gall.If given another chance, Barry would have undoubtedly slaughtered both Walden and Tommy.“Grandfather, I must report: it was Walden and his son who paid me 15 million to cause trouble. I was merely following orders. Does this count as me coming forward with valuable information?” Barry pleaded with hopeful eyes.“I already knew that. Did you think naming your instigators would absolve you?” Alexander asked, smiling.“No, I just… I was exposing them, so you’d know who was plott

    Turning back, Randi grabbed Mary by the collar, shaking her roughly: “You're just an uncivilized brat with no parents to teach you! My son wanted to be nice and play with you, but you had the nerve to touch him! I'm going to teach you a lesson today! Einar, come here and hit her!""Remember what I told you—our family doesn't need to fear anyone. If someone touches you, you beat them until they're almost dead. I'll take care of everything. Don't let anyone bully you!" Randi shouted.Mary cried and struggled, but she couldn't break free from Randi's grip."Auntie, let me go! I do have parents! He hit me first, and I didn't touch him. You're a bad person! You're both bad people!" Mary sobbed, her eyes filled with tears, utterly pitiful."You lying brat! How dare you call me a bad person? You're just a wild child with no manners. I'm going to rip your mouth apart today and teach you some respect!" Randi snapped, raising her hand to slap Mary. But before she could, she felt someone grab he

    Alexander shook off Eleanor’s grip and approached Dewey.Dewey narrowed his eyes, warily glaring at Alexander: “What are you doing? Kneel down for me, right now! Do you hear me?!”“It’s you who should kneel!” Alexander strode up to Dewey and landed punch after punch on his face.With the sound of blows echoing, Dewey’s face quickly swelled, blood spurting from his nose and staining his clothes.“You bastard!”Dewey staggered backward, his vision filled with stars, everything blurring.“Brother, are you okay? You poor trash, you’ve done it now, even daring to hit my brother!” Randi screamed, both scared and furious, emotions swirling wildly.“You dare hit me?! Today, I’ll make you suffer! You think this hospital belongs to you? This is my territory!” Dewey yelled, pulling out his phone to call the head of security.“Hello, Captain Stein, I’m being attacked by a patient’s family!

    Dewey was frightened, never expecting Talon to support Alexander to such an extent.Thinking about his position as department head, the generous commissions from selling medicine, and the attractive pharmaceutical representatives willing to offer him anything, Dewey made up his mind."I’ve realized my mistake. I shouldn't have defended my family without knowing right from wrong. In a moment of impulse, I made a grave error, tarnishing the hospital's image. I promise to correct my ways and hope Young Master Reynolds can forgive me and give me a chance to turn over a new leaf.” Dewey finished, looking at Randi with a hint of pleading.If Randi contin

    Suddenly right now, Talon hurried over, trying to diffuse the situation: “It’s all just a misunderstanding, Vice Chairman Miller. Please, let me explain…”“Explain what? My wife, son, and brother-in-law were attacked at your hospital, and now you want to explain? It’s too late for that!” Brogan waved him off, shouting.Talon was terrified. Facing someone who could shut down his hospital like Brogan, he could only offer polite words and forced smiles.But Brogan wasn’t giving him any chance to fix the situation, making Talon feel utterly helpless.Talon approached Alexander and whispered: “Young Master, this is the vice chairman of the Medical Association and one of our top supervisors. This isn’t easy to handle.”“It’s a small matter.” Alexander replied calmly.Talon immediately felt more confident. If Young Master said it was a small matter, then it must be.Seeing Talon speaking with Alexander, Brogan snapped: “Director Byrne, what are you chatting with him about? Grab him, strip hi

    Brogan’s head spun, his mind dazed from the kick, thinking: “What is happening?”Ignoring him, Chairman Scott took two steps forward, bowing before Alexander: “Young Master Reynolds, it was my failure to properly manage the conduct and discipline of the association, leading to this mess. I take full responsibility. Please punish me as you see fit.”Chairman Scott felt that when facing a superior like Alexander, avoiding responsibility would lead to severe punishment, but if he admitted his mistakes, the punishment might be lighter.Seeing Chairman Scott behaving like a cowering dog in front of Alexander, the Brogan family of three were completely bewildered.Who exactly was this Alexander?This was the question Brogan most wanted answered."Chairman Scott, do you like taking responsibility?" Alexander asked as he evaluated him.Chairman Scott immediately broke into a cold sweat, shocked that Alexander wasn’t following the usual script. This was true authority, and only someone as form

If either of you sees someone you like, just leave it to me, Tommy."Tommy spoke with a fawning expression, looking at the two young masters sitting across from him.Rafael Silva and Santos Rocha were both young masters from the Golden Harbor province, each backed by prestigious business families.Tommy was sparing no effort to entertain them, hoping to build connections and gain some business opportunities.Rafael glanced at him, not giving him any importance.Rafael had seen plenty of people like Tommy, who flattered and lowered themselves, groveling to seek favors."The place sounds interesting.

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

      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
