Inside the private room of the Starry Sky Shore restaurant, Alexander and Eleanor's candlelit dinner was coming to an end.Alexander raised his wine glass, speaking with deep emotion: “Eleanor, thank you for being with me. Without you, I don't know what my life would have turned into."Without Eleanor's support, Alexander couldn’t imagine how his life would have been."What’s with you today?" Eleanor teased, lifting her wine glass to gently clink it against Alexander's."You’ve changed a lot lately, but I’m happy to see this change in you. You’re no longer the weak and helpless man you once were. I hope you continue to get better and stronger.” she said.Thinking back on recent events, even the slightest change in Alexander was enough to make Eleanor happy. But alongside the happiness, there was a bit of doubt, though Alexander’s explanations had always been reasonable, so she didn’t probe further."I will continue to improve. I promise that one day, I'll make you the happiest woman a
The convoy soon drove into The Rustic arena. Several burly, rough-looking men were standing in the parking lot, silently watching Thorne's car."Thorne, we have orders from the Silva family—you can only bring in two fighters. Everyone else stays here.” one of the men said.Thorne's underlings exploded in anger. This was completely disrespecting Thorne."How dare you speak to Mr. Pittman like that? Do you think you can just say Mr. Pittman's name directly?""Are you looking to die? Why are we not allowed to enter? We have to protect Mr. Pittman's safety!""This is Golden Harbor, our turf. Get your asses back to Crystal, or we will call more people here now!"The man in the lead gave a cold look at Thorne's underlings, lifting his black coat to reveal a gun at his waist.Seeing the gun at the man's waist, Thorne's underlings immediately fell silent.The situation was clear—they were outmatched. These Crystal tough guys came prepared. The knives in Thorne's men's hands couldn't compare t
The light in Max’s eyes dimmed, and whatever he wanted to say was left unspoken.“Hahaha! Hey, So family guy, and you, kid! Are you scared yet? If you’re scared, kneel before our three bosses, and maybe they’ll show mercy!” Big stood in the ring, raising his middle finger, taunting them.Thorne swallowed hard, glancing at Alexander, wanting to urge him not to fight, but saw that Alexander had already stepped toward the ring.Alexander calmly walked to the ring and climbed the steps, drawing mocking laughter from the audience.“Hahaha, what did I just see? This guy took the stairs to enter the ring! He’s so weak! How could someone like him be sent to fight?”"Such country bumpkins. Not a single decent fighter among them. We didn’t even need our three bosses; we could have handled the So guy ourselves.” the Parks family member sneered, as if already picturing Alexander’s head exploding.Big looked at Alexander with disdain, pointed his thumb down, and said: “I’m going to make your head
Liam's expression darkened, realizing that Alexander's combat skills had far exceeded his expectations. Originally, he had assumed Alexander was just an average fighter, but it turned out Alexander had a boss-level strength.The pale young man standing behind Liam curled his lips into a cold smile."Boss, his speed and strength are impressive, but he's no match for me.” the young man said."Don't be hasty. Let’s watch for a while first—let Mr. Phillips's people test him out."Liam frowned, feeling a pang of regret for underestimating Alexander a
Liam rubbed his temples, patting the spot beside him, and said: “Sit down, Dragon, Tiger, go cripple that brat on stage. Today, I'm going to deal with him."Dragon and Tiger exchanged glances before heading to the stage."Hahaha, you Reynolds brat, today is the end for you. Dragon and Tiger are martial arts experts, their skills are as incredible as those of movie masters. A penniless guy like you should tremble in fear; soon, you'll know what real terror is!""Young Master Silva, who are these two?" Santos asked in a low voice."Heh, they are disciples of Barton Arnold, but their rebellious and murderous nature got them expelled. On the day they left, they caused a massacre, gravely injuring even Taiji master Barton Arnold."For the past two years, most of the tough tasks my uncle had were handled by these two brothers. Their movements are extremely graceful, even more impressive than the moves you see in movies. Watch carefully later, and their combined attack skills are even more f
Alexander waved dismissively, unconcerned: “It's nothing. Drive faster—my wife is still waiting for the late-night snacks."The driver immediately sped up, and soon, they stopped under Eleanor's building.A young man waiting by the roadside ran over and opened the car door: “Young Master Reynolds, the late-night snacks have been prepared—braised meat and side dishes made by Chef XY."Alexander took the thermal container from the young man and walked into the house with a smile.When he opened the door and entered, Valeria was watching TV. She immediately frowned and looked at him angrily."Where did you sneak off to in the middle of the night? Useless good-for-nothing, always learning the worst habits! Did you go to a bar or a nightclub? You're dirt poor, don't you know your own place?"Alexander's face darkened as he explained: “Mom, it's not like that. I went to help a friend, not to mess around.""Don't act like a monkey. When Eleanor called me just now, I heard everything. How dar
Liam could see through Rafael's intentions. He smiled and said: “If you can pull it off, I'll certainly speak up for you during the family elder meetings. Rest well now, and Santos, make sure to take good care of him.""Uncle Silva, don't worry. I'll definitely take good care of Young Master Silva.” Santos replied.Santos stood up to see Liam out of the hospital room. He watched Liam's figure disappear down the hallway before returning to the room to chat with Rafael.The night grew darker, and drowsiness soon took over. Rafael tilted his head and fell asleep, while Santos, curled up on the sofa, also drifted off.Early the next morning, Alexander was already awake, busy making breakfast for Eleanor's family.Seeing Alexander bring breakfast to the table, Valeria's face was unfriendly as she said: “You made a few slices of toast and added some salad and dressing? Are you feeding pigs or something?""Mom, sandwiches are made like this. I even added chicken breast.” Alexander explained
To manage the beauty spa so well proved that Alexander hadn't misjudged her and that Sandy indeed had the capability."Not bad, you've worked hard.""This is all what I should do. If it weren't for your promotion, boss, I wouldn't have achieved what I have today."Sandy's eyes flashed as she spoke, thinking that it would be wonderful if Alexander weren't already married.Alexander closed the records, his fingers tapping lightly on the desk: “The spa is doing well—all thanks to everyone's efforts. Starting this month, the base salary of all staff will
