Roddy was the manager of the Food and Beverage Association, responsible for overseeing large catering companies like the Rustic Tavern, which allowed him to hold shares in the Rustic Tavern at Golden Harbor.
"Was it really Storm who hit you?"
Roddy asked.
"Yes, Uncle Rhodes came in and slapped me twice without even asking for any explanation."

President Sims let out a cold laugh, his voice full of malice: "If you want to die, don't drag everyone else with you. From now on, you are suspended, and the association will investigate all your prior work."Roddy felt dizzy, as if a lightning bolt had struck his head, and his entire body went limp, collapsing directly to the ground.All these years, Roddy had enjoyed a lavish lifestyle, spending extravagantly, and it was all because of his position in the association. Without this role, how could he maintain his current life?More importantly, he had embezzled a lot of shares from the large-scale food service companies. If they found out that he had been suspended, it would certainly cause trouble!Thinking about the potential consequences, Roddy felt a rush of panic, cold sweat pouring down his entire body, soaking his clothes in an instant, making him look as if he had just come out of the water.President Sims stood before Alexander, smiling apologetically: "I apologize for the

Moments later, a Rolls Royce pulled up. Chairman Reynolds rushed forward to open the door, smiling obsequiously as he said: “Chairman Washington, please, take your time getting out.”“Take my time? I’m not 70 or 80 years old! Has Chairman Marshall arrived yet? She better not be late.” Chairman Washington asked as he stepped out.Chairman Reynolds’s eyes gleamed as he smiled knowingly: “Chairman Marshall has been waiting for you.”Chairman Washington, a man in his forties dressed in a finely tailored suit, smiled as he walked toward Eleanor.“Chairman Marshall, it’s been a while. I’ve missed you since our last meeting.” he said, extending his hand. The limited-edition Patek Philippe watch on his wrist sparkled under the lights, catching the attention of the other chairmen.It was a watch worth tens of billions, one of only a hundred made, known as one of the best investment watches—truly the king of watches.Chairman Washington usually didn’t wear this watch, but today, he had chosen t

Alexander and Eleanor returned home.Rodger, sitting on the sofa reading a newspaper, glanced at Alexander, then lowered his head to continue reading.Valeria glared at Alexander in displeasure: "Alexander, where have you been all day? There's no food in the house! Tell me, where did you run off to? You weren't out partying, were you?""I wasn't out partying. I just met some chefs and learned to cook home dishes with them, so I can make more meals that suit Eleanor and my parents' tastes."Alexander replied.Eleanor was in a bad mood and didn't have the energy to defend Alexander. She bowed her head and went to her room.Valeria suspiciously glanced at Eleanor, slapped the table, and shouted: “Alexander! Did you upset my daughter again?! You good-for-nothing can't do anything right. Eleanor works so hard to support this family, and you don't even know how to cheer her up; instead, you make her angry. Do you think you're worthy of Eleanor?!""No, I didn't upset Eleanor."Alexander felt

Walden said coldly: “Eleanor, call Chairman Washington and apologize. Ask what it will take to turn this situation around.""This..."Eleanor hesitated. What should she say when calling Chairman Washington? And if he made unreasonable demands, how could she refuse?"You don't have the guts to call, huh? How ridiculous. If you don't dare, we'll do it for you. Tommy, call Chairman Washington."Laurie finished speaking and gave Tommy a knowing look.Tommy took out his phone and dialed Arthur’s number. The call connected quickly, and Tommy put it on speaker.“Hello, Chairman Washington, I'm Tommy Marshall.”“Haha, someone from the Marshall family. Did you enjoy the gift I sent you?” Arthur’s voice boomed with satisfaction.The fact that someone from the Marshall family was calling him so early meant they were likely admitting defeat. Just thinking about Eleanor’s beautiful face made Arthur’s blood boil.“Your ‘gift’ scared us half to death. We know Eleanor made a mistake yesterday, but sh

Arthur’s eyes burned with desire as he stared at Eleanor. His initially cold expression softened into a gentle smile.“Eleanor, look at yourself. If you had behaved yesterday, none of this would be happening today. But young people are impulsive, I understand. I hope you’re not going to act out again today.”Arthur’s words made his intentions clear. Anyone with half a brain could understand what he wanted.“Chairman Washington, I’ll drink this first. After the three glasses, I hope you’ll show some leniency.”Eleanor’s voice was dry as she spoke.“Huh?”Arthur snorted, his face darkening as he expressed his displeasure at Eleanor’s response.“Eleanor, what do you mean by this? Did I not make myself clear, or did you not understand?”Arthur suppressed his anger as he spoke.“Chairman Marshall, our Chairman Washington has already reserved a room. You don’t need to go back tonight. Serve Chairman Washington well, and everything will be smooth sailing. Don’t mention those contracts; with

"What do you think you’re doing?! I’m Arthur Washington! I can shut down the Marshall family’s business in minutes. If you don’t want to be out on the streets with your wife and kids, you’d better kneel and beg for my forgiveness right now!" Arthur yelled, trying to intimidate Alexander and make him back off.But none of this fazed Alexander. A single phone call from him could have Arthur kneeling in minutes.However, what Alexander wanted now was to vent his anger, to thoroughly beat Arthur down and avenge Eleanor."I warned you yesterday, but it seems you didn’t take my words seriously.""Take your threats and shove them! You think a worthless freeloader like you can scare me? I, Arthur Washington, am not easily frightened. You... you better not come any closer. Someone, stop him!" Arthur shouted in panic, hiding behind Presidents Lopez, Jake, and Reynolds, using them as human shields.Chairman Lopez, Chairman Jake, and Chairman Reynolds were all extremely anxious, but at this moment

At home.Eleanor sat on the sofa, wiping her tears as she recounted everything that had happened.“Chairman Washington forcing me is one thing; he’s an outsider. But the way Uncles behaved, I can’t accept it. What do they take me for?”Rodger and Valeria’s faces darkened, their eyes filled with the fury of parents.Any normal parent, hearing that their daughter faced such a situation, would feel their anger flare.“Elder Brother and Third Brother’s families have gone too far this time! How could they act in a way that benefits the enemy and harms their own? It’s truly outrageous!”Valeria slammed the table in anger.“It’s indeed excessive. We must make Elder Brother and Third Brother’s families apologize and admit their mistakes. We can’t let this go.”Rodger had made up his mind; no matter what, he would confront Walden and his family, demanding an explanation and justice.Alexander soothed Eleanor’s emotions without saying much. When it came to family matters, it was better for Rodge

On the way back, Rodger drove in frustration, his mood utterly deflated.Valeria felt a fire simmering inside her.She glanced at Alexander, who was sitting in the back, through the rearview mirror, and that fire flared up intensely.“Useless trash, what were you thinking fighting with Chairman Washington? Even if you went to rescue Eleanor, you didn’t need to hit him! You could’ve just walked in and taken her away. What was all that showing off for? Do you really think you’re someone important?”“Mom, don’t speak to him like that.” Eleanor defended him, a little indignant.“You be quiet.” Valeria scolded her before continuing to berate Alexander: “Was your brain kicked by a donkey? You think fighting will make people notice you? Do you think being able to fight means you're not useless? Fighting without thinking is just a sign of stupidity!”“If you hadn’t hit Chairman Washington, would our family have been blacklisted? If we weren’t blacklisted, would we have been humiliated in fron

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

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
