Once freed, Eleanor threw her arms around Alexander, clinging to him as she wept in his embrace. Gently, Alexander patted her back, speaking softly: “It's okay now. I'm here. It's all over."

"I'm not scared. But why are you so foolish? Did it hurt when they hit you? Let me check if you're okay." Eleanor's hands lightly caressed his face, her eyes filled with tender concern.

Covering her hand with his own, Alexander chuckled and said: “I'm fine. It didn't hurt at all."

"How could it not hurt? It must have.” Eleanor said, her voice full of affection.

They gazed into each other’s eyes, both smiling, as if they could understand what the other was thinking without speaking a word.

At that moment, no words were needed. Their eyes alone conveyed everything they felt.

Rafael, eyes wide open, could only watch helplessly as Alexander and Eleanor shared a tender moment. He didn’t even have the strength to speak. A deep-rooted fear started to grow inside Rafael, quickly spreading through his enti

    Meanwhile, at the Golden Harbor International Hospital.Rafael lay on the hospital bed, his limbs immobilized by surgery. He faced a long recovery, possibly months.Due to significant blood loss, Rafael was also at risk of complications, but surviving was already a blessing.“How’s the boy doing, doctor?” Liam Silva stood at the doorway, his face dark with concern.“Thanks to the timely arrival, we managed to save his life. However, the extensive blood loss and limb injuries might leave lasting effects. He shouldn’t engage in heavy a

    Alexander was resting at home, scrolling through news on his phone. Suddenly, the screen switched to an incoming call.The caller ID displayed the name "Joshua Thomas."Alexander casually answered, and Joshua's respectful voice came through the speaker."Young Master Reynolds, it's Joshua Thomas.""Hmm.” Alexander responded with a nasal sound, indicating he had heard.Joshua, instead of being offended by Alexander’s curt response, seemed even more delighted: “We're holding an auction here, and I was wondering if you'd be interested in attending?"For ordinary people, auctions were out of reach, but for someone like Alexander, attending such events was a form of leisure."What items are up for auction?" Alexander asked casually.If the items didn't pique his interest, he certainly wouldn't bother going.Joshua immediately understood and eagerly replied: “There are some valuable antiques, high-end pearl jewelry, and a jadeite necklace in a rare green hue—a truly exceptional and rare pie

    Joshua, however, felt increasingly irritated. All he wanted was to stay on Alexander’s good side, but these foolish second-generation heirs were making matters worse. If Alexander became angry, not even the highest status Joshua could attain would be enough to appease him."Who started all this?" Joshua asked coldly, his voice simmering with anger.Phineas, oblivious to the danger, quickly nodded and said: “It was me! I was the one who caught him and questioned him."Smack!Joshua slapped Phineas across the face so hard that he spun on the spot, stunned. Holding his cheek, Phineas looked at Joshua in disbelief.Nash and Pablo, equally confused, wondered why Joshua had struck Phineas."Did you two also get involved?" Joshua asked ominously.Their blood ran cold. Though they didn’t know why, they could sense that they were in serious trouble."It was all Phineas! He led us into it. We never wanted to get involved.” they stammered in unison."Yes, we even tried to stop him! We believe it

    As the auction approached, groups of young elites entered the VIP rooms. Phineas, determined to win, walked alone into his private suite.He placed his bidding number on the table, checked the communication system, and ensured the live broadcast was functioning correctly.Once everything was set, he sat upright, as if preparing for a decisive contest.The auction opened with low-value items, intended to warm up the participants. The old Khang jade-green necklace, the highlight of the event, would be auctioned second to last.Phineas sat silently, maintaining a ri

    After winning the auction for the jade necklace with a vibrant green hue, Alexander returned home, his heart filled with excitement and joy.As soon as he walked through the door, he heard lively voices coming from the living room. It seemed there were guests at home.Alexander walked into the living room and saw a middle-aged woman sitting next to Valeria, bearing a strong resemblance to her.“Aren’t you going to come over and say hello? What are you standing there like a piece of wood for? This is Eleanor’s second aunt, you should call her Auntie,” Valeria snapped angrily, glaring at Alexander.Valeria’s family from Golden Harbor was a small but respectable clan. Back in the day, old Mr. Jones had used his influence to build the Jones family, and now they were considered a third-tier family in Golden Harbor.In Valeria’s generation, the Jones family had two sons and two daughters. Valeria was the youngest, with an older brother, an older sister, and another brother. The guest today

    The day of Mr. Jones’s birthday arrived. Every strutted into Valeria’s house, proudly bringing along her daughter Selah and son-in-law Sammy.As soon as she entered, Every greeted them smugly: “We’re here to pick you all up. Selah and Sammy each brought a car, so it’ll be easy to drive everyone over.”Bragging about her son-in-law was Every’s main reason for coming.She had been holding onto her grudge since Eleanor had humiliated her before, and today was her chance to gloat.Valeria forced a polite smile despite her sou

    Selah walked up to the entrance of the Jones family’s house and laughed: “Second Young Master Lucas Jones of elder uncle’s house, Steve Jones from third uncle’s house, and Reese Jones from third uncle’s family—why don’t I see Elder Young Master Vernon Jones of elder uncle’s house? Don’t tell me he’s playing the role of the heir again!”Sammy Rhodes standing beside Selah, chuckled and said: “We juniors should head over there too. Shouldn’t we help with greeting some guests as well?”It was Mr. Jones’s seventieth birthday celebration, and relatives, friends, and many guests from near and far were arriving to pay their respects. As Mr. Jones’s grandchildren, it was only right for them to help receive the guests.However, since Selah and Eleanor were granddaughters from the maternal side, they weren’t strictly required to greet guests. Selah, aware that Lucas and Steve both looked down on Alexander, seemed eager to witness someone mock him.“Eleanor, why don’t we go together? It’s our gra

    Eleanor sighed softly as she glanced at Mr. Jones, her lips moved, but she couldn’t find the words to defend Alexander. Though defending him now would be easy, angering the elder uncle would be far more serious. She found herself torn, bowing her head in awkward silence.Lucas pointed at Alexander, sneering with disdain: "This useless guy, look at how you’ve enraged our grandfather. This is his seventieth birthday celebration, and you still have the nerve to show up and ruin it. For heaven’s sake, you’re an absolute disgrace.""If he had any ability at all, he wouldn’t be a worthless man living off a woman. If I were him, I’d hang myself out of shame. How can he even show his face here? What a shameless waste of space."Hearing Lucas and Steve’s harsh words, Eleanor’s delicate body trembled slightly, unable to hold back any longer."You shouldn’t talk about Alexander that way. Even though… even though he's just working a normal job right now, that doesn’t mean he’s useless. I never ex

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
