"Which one of you invited Mr. Vega?" Mr. Jones asked, looking at his eldest son, Melvin.

A prominent figure like Boris wouldn't come uninvited. Mr. Jones was well aware of his own status and knew he didn't have the kind of influence that would make Boris come of his own accord. Yet, here Boris was, leaving Mr. Jones to assume that his eldest son must have arranged this as another surprise, much like the gift Marvin had given earlier. It left Mr. Jones pleasantly surprised and delighted.

Melvin and the others all shook their heads. Finally, Mr. Jones turned his gaze toward Marvin: “Marvin, was this another surprise you prepared for your grandfather?"

"No, Grandfather. I didn’t invite Mr. Vega. We’re far too distant from him.” Marvin replied with a wry smile.

Mr. Jones couldn’t figure it out immediately, so he hastily stood up to greet Boris. A distinguished guest had arrived, and they needed to show their respect. Besides, if they could establish good relations with Boris, it would cer

    The guests were equally stunned, their eyes wide with amazement as they tried to understand what was happening."This is too much! Alexander is known as a useless freeloader, so why are Mr. Thomas and Mr. Vega treating him with such respect?""If it were just one of them, it could be a coincidence, but with both Mr. Thomas and Mr. Vega showing such reverence, there must be a reason.""They both called him Young Master Reynolds. Do you think he might be the same Young Master Reynolds who sent those incredible birthday gifts earlier?"Speculation began to stir amon

    Mr. Jones shakily approached Alexander, followed by Melvin and the others."If Mr. Pittman, Mr. Thomas, and Mr. Vega are all sitting at this table, then this old man must sit here too."Mr. Jones was still quite certain in his heart. If these men were here for Alexander and believed that where Alexander sat was the main table, then Mr. Jones naturally wouldn’t dare to claim the head seat. He could only respectfully sit alongside them. In any other situation, meeting Thorne and the others would never grant Mr. Jones the privilege to sit with them.Pulling out a chair, Mr. Jones sat with a slight tilt, his face smiling toward the three men from Thorne's group. As for Alexander, Mr. Jones wore a more accommodating expression, though he couldn't fully lower his demeanor. But Thorne and his companions paid no attention to Mr. Jones, focusing entirely on Alexander.Being stared at by the three men, Alexander felt uneasy, especially with all the Jones family members standing behind Mr. Jones

    “Who’s that old man standing next to Alexander? He looks familiar, but I can’t quite place where I’ve seen him.” Melvin said, scratching his head.Sherman being a rare tycoon, occasionally had his photo appear at various business events, which was why Melvin had a sense of familiarity.Jesus scratched his head too, wracking his brain trying to identify Sherman: “He does look familiar, but I can’t remember who he is.”No matter how hard they tried, they couldn’t recall where they’d seen Sherman.“Valeria, do you know who that man standing with Alexander is?” Mr. Jones asked, frowning. Valeria had recognized Sherman immediately but found it hard to believe that Alexander could be casually chatting with him.Upon hearing Mr. Jones’s question, Valeria snapped out of her shock, her lips trembling as she stammered: “I know him. That man, he’s…”Valeria was struggling to get her words out, leaving Mr. Jones frustrated: “Get to the point!” he barked, stamping his foot impatiently.“He’s Sherm

    Ignoring his pride, Mr. Jones approached Sherman with a forced smile: “Chairman Lopez, it’s an honor to have you here. I apologize for not greeting you properly. Please, come inside for some tea."Sherman shook his head: “You really think I’d enter your house? I’d just be insulted by your family again."Mr. Jones’s face fell, his embarrassment clear, cursing Lucas and Steve internally.More guests crowded around Sherman and Alexander, eagerly introducing themselves."Chairman Lopez, I’m Garth Jones, CEO of ECL.

    The No. 1 Phillips Club in the provincial capital. In the most luxurious VIP room, Liam sat with his legs crossed, lighting a cigar."The latest premium Havana cigar, Mr. White, give it a try."Archie White, seated across from Liam, looked fierce, with a scar on his face resembling a vicious centipede, and six round scars on his bald head.Archie White was a notorious criminal, on the run and constantly evading capture. He claimed to be a martial monk from Cedar Grove Shaolin Temple, but after being unable to endure the harsh training and strict rules, he led a few of his brothers down the mountain and became a gangster.Whether Archie was truly a martial monk or not, no one could confirm. But Liam knew that Archie's skills weren’t just talk—he possessed real martial abilities."Cigars are the hobby of you rich folks. Us poor guys prefer smoking ABCs.” Archie said, pulling out an ABC cigarette and putting it in his mouth: “Let's get to the point. This isn’t our first meeting. You know

    "Oh, so you care about your wife, huh? Let me give you a little preview of what’s happening.” Archie said, amused, as he held the phone up toward Walden and the others. Seeing Archie’s gesture, the thugs intensified their assault."Ah! It hurts! Damn you, Alexander, you bastard! You got us beaten—get over here now!""Reynolds, you piece of trash! If you don’t come, your wife’s going to end up dead!""Eleanor, tell that useless husband of yours to hurry up, or we’ll all be beaten to death!" Walden’s group shouted angrily, their voices reaching Alexander. Hearing their curses, Alexander immediately thought of a place—his company! Only at the company would Walden and the others be with Eleanor, and only there would there be so many people.With the location of Eleanor’s kidnapping clear, Alexander quickly grabbed his electric scooter and sped toward the Marshall family's company.It was rush hour, and the roads were surely congested, but the electric scooter proved to be the fastest opti

    Eleanor’s eyes widened in fear, worried that Alexander might get hurt. Though she had seen him fight before and knew his strength, she couldn’t help but feel anxious.But as Alexander sent thug after thug flying, her heart began to calm. Walden and his group watched in shock, their eyes bulging like eggs, their mouths agape in disbelief. How was Alexander doing this?Could this really be the same "worthless" guy everyone had insulted and mocked so often?That disbelief quickly turned into rage. If Alexander was so skilled, why hadn’t he saved them sooner? Why hadn’t he dealt with their enemies earlier?It was all Alexander’s fault. His actions had dragged them into this mess!“That bastard, they were so tough when they beat us up. Why are they crumbling against Alexander?” Walden growled bitterly.Walden clenched his fists.“It’d be better if Alexander died. If they kill him, we won’t have to deal with any more of this crap. He should’ve died a long time ago." Tommy’s eyes were bloods

    Alexander grabbed Archie's hair, yanking his head up forcefully. Archie weakly fluttered his eyelids, opening his eyes to meet Alexander's gaze, deeply regretting his choices."Speak.” Alexander demanded, his single word carrying a tremendous weight. At that moment, Archie became incredibly obedient, knowing that if he kept his mouth shut any longer, he might not live to see another minute."It... it was Liam Brady. He hired us to kidnap you and your wife, take you both to the provincial capital for him, offering 9 million.""Liam Brady!"A flash of murderous intent gleamed in Alexander's eyes.Alexander had thought the situation with the Silva family was resolved, and he hadn't planned on pursuing them further. But what Liam had done now gave him the urge to bring down the entire Silva family.Crossing the line was one thing, but targeting Eleanor again—this was something Alexander could not tolerate."Fine, I'll let you live. But from now on, be a decent person. If I hear you've don

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
