Phineas didn’t need Riker’s introduction, he had long heard of Paddy Miller’s reputation. Paddy was a top figure in Stormwatch.

“So you’re Mr. Paddy? I’ve heard stories of your exploits. I understand you made quite an impression in Golden Harbor back in the day.”

“Haha, I used to work under Mr. Pittman in Golden Harbor. Later, he sent me to Stormwatch to expand our territory. He helped me a lot along the way. Otherwise, I wouldn’t be where I am now.”

Back then, Paddy had been one of Thorne’s subordinates. For various reasons, Thorne had sent him to Stormwatch to carve out new territory. Paddy proved his capability by uniting all the forces there and becoming the top man in town. Nevertheless, Paddy still held Thorne in high regard, always paying him the utmost respect.

“I really appreciate all of you coming to help me. I’ll never forget this favor today and will definitely repay it.” Phineas said, trying to strengthen connections.

Seeing that Phineas was still rambling on, Riker grew

    "Haha." Robert chuckled: “It’s not unusual for someone not in Stormwatch not to fear Mr. Pittman."Rainer continued: “General Manager Perkins might not know, but this guy in Golden Harbor is just an unemployed live-in son-in-law who goes around boasting like this. We were all mocking him.""Oh? That’s interesting."Robert grinned as he looked at Thorne.Thorne squinted at Paddy’s group, saying coolly: “How did you mock him? And what do you plan to do after that?"Riker sensed Thorne’s displeasure and immediately thought of how he could ingratiate himself with Thorne, hoping to expand his career to Golden Harbor through these connections."Mocking him was just the beginning. After mocking him, we plan to teach him a proper lesson, make him kneel and beg Mr. Pittman’s forgiveness, and then we’ll take him outside and play with him."Thorne nodded slightly, then turned to Paddy: “And what about you? What do you intend to do?"Paddy felt uneasy, sensing something was off in Thorne’s attitu

    Riker wavering, wondered if it might be better to back down for now, then settle things during the stone auction later. Once they competed there, even Thorne and Robert couldn’t object.But if he continued to push, having both powerful figures from Stormwatch and Golden Harbor against Paddy would be too much to handle.Riker nudged Paddy slightly, giving him a subtle nod.Paddy gritted his teeth, suppressing his anger."Mr. Pittman, if you insist, I’ll apologize to him out of respect for our past. But let me be clear—after today, whatever ties we had are over. From now on, we go our separate ways.”Robert snorted, shaking his head in contempt. Paddy’s words were foolish; the situation couldn’t be more obvious, yet he was blind to it."Fine, after this, we’re strangers. Now, apologize to Young Master Reynolds. And you must kneel.”“Kneel? Are you out of your mind? Why should we kneel?” Pete shouted in outrage.Paddy and Riker looked horrified, their faces twisting.Kneel, or not?It wa

    Watching Riker’s group leave, Robert spoke anxiously: “Young Master Reynolds, you were too rash. The number nine rough stone is the highest quality among these stones. The experts in the field have examined it and confirmed that it can yield Jadeite Jade, far superior to the rest.”Eleanor immediately looked worried, grabbing Alexander's arm: “Alexander, this time you… you really acted recklessly."Alexander flipped through the auction catalog, stopping at the page listing the jade stones up for bid, and laughed: “Don’t worry, they can’t win.”Robert covered his face with both hands, unsure where Alexander’s confidence came from. After all, Robert himself had handled these stones and knew their quality inside out.“Young Master Reynolds, these stones all passed through my hands, so I know them well. Even though no one can entirely predict jade quality, certain clues from years of experience can help us judge.” Robert said, his tone anxious.Alexander nodded calmly: “I understand. Than

    Phineas shot Alexander a vicious glare, then said to Eleanor: “Eleanor, if you like anything during the auction, just let me know.”“I don’t like anything.”Eleanor replied coldly.Valeria, dissatisfied, nudged Eleanor, whispering: “Why are you being so silly? If Phineas wants to give you something, just accept it.”“I don’t need anything. Why should I accept it?”Eleanor replied indifferently.Valeria sighed, knowing she couldn’t convince Eleanor. Any further words would just waste her breath.The auction began, drawing everyone’s attention as they turned to watch the stage.Riker led Pete’s group to the front row, observing the auction proceedings, muttering to one another, and frequently raising their paddles. They quickly won several jade items.After auctioning a few jade pieces, Riker murmured something to Rainer. Rainer stood up, looked toward Alexander, and gave him a middle finger, taunting: “Hey, pauper, if you’ve got guts, try raising your paddle!”Immediately, all eyes tur

    Alexander smiled, raising his paddle toward the auctioneer.The auctioneer, desperate to regain order in the room, saw Alexander’s signal and immediately called out: “Bidder number 99 offers three hundred! Any other bids?”Riker snorted: “Finish it up already. Can’t you see I have things to do?”“Yes, sir.” The auctioneer shrank back and quickly struck the gavel.“Congratulations to Bidder 99 for winning this rough jade stone at three hundred.”Rodger and Valeria scowled, feeling Alexander was only bringing them more embarrassment. They didn’t want to see him humiliate himself any further.“Phineas, your uncle and I will return to the hotel. Look after Eleanor. If that idiot gets into trouble, don’t get involved—just take Eleanor back.” Valeria said.Phineas nodded eagerly: “Auntie, don’t worry. I’ll take care of Eleanor.”With that, Rodger and Valeria left, and Phineas turned to Alexander with a smirk.“Hey, loser, it’s time to cut the stones. Just wait until you’re begging for mercy

    Riker held his head high, confident of his victory."Pathetic loser, you’re done for. I’ve already prepared the blade for your self-stabbing, you fool."Rainer brought over a silver case and opened it in front of everyone, revealing a long saber.The blade featured a blood groove, and the spine was serrated, gleaming coldly as if to announce its deadly nature.Riker lightly ran his finger along the blade, smiling as he spoke: “You pathetic fool, you’re lucky even to touch this blade, let alone use it to stab yourself — you must have cultivated good fortune over eight lifetimes to deserve this.”“Is that the Asura War Sabre?”Robert looked at the long saber in the case, astonished. Being an antique enthusiast, he knew enough about weaponry to recognize the blade immediately.“The Asura War Sabre is a weapon crafted by a renowned Japanese master. They say it took three years to forge. Aside from its hefty price, it’s incredibly hard to come by. There’s even a legend that anyone injured

    Riker glared at Alexander’s back with resentment, then looked down at the Asura War Sabre in the case.“Mr. Pittman, now that he’s gone, I don’t really need to stab myself, do I?” Riker asked, his voice trembling.“Robert, as the witness, you need to ensure they follow through on the bet.” Thorne said, pulling Robert along.Robert nodded: “If you agree to a bet, you must accept its consequences.”Riker closed his eyes tightly and, with shaking hands, grasped the cold hilt of the Asura War Sabre.

    Stormwatch General HospitalPaddy and Riker were gathered in the recovery ward, both nursing serious injuries and recovering in the external trauma unit.Paddy looked in surprise at Riker being brought into the room, noticing the swollen, large bruises on him. He thought the injuries looked oddly familiar.“What happened to you? How did you end up like this?”Riker slouched, his face drawn with grief as he looked at Paddy, eyes misty with frustration.“We lost the bet! That guy Perkins teamed up with Pittman, and they both backed that worthless fool. We were cornered, couldn’t escape, and ended up getting beaten up.” Paddy’s expression darkened as he muttered, annoyed: “How did you guys lose? Didn’t you manage to secure the best stone?”“We did win the best jade stone, but the worthless guy ended up with a seemingly low-quality stone, yet when it was opened, it was an emerald green jade!”Riker gritted his teeth, and Paddy’s expression went through a series of changes—surprise, shock

Not with your pathetic skills.” Alexander sneered.As soon as the words left his mouth, his figure blurred, darting among them like a phantom. The burly men barely had time to react before it was too late. His speed far outstripped their reflexes.Bam! Bam! Bam!A rapid series of impacts echoed through the yard. From the first man sent flying backward to the last one, less than three seconds had passed.In those fleeting moments, Alexander landed over a dozen blows,

    Kolby stopped in his tracks, staring at Michal’s dramatic surrender, and laughed, shaking his fists: “What’s wrong with you? I haven’t even thrown a punch yet, and you’re already giving up? You’re way too cooperative.”Michal, looking like he was on the verge of tears, replied: “What else can I do? I don’t want to get hit. Just treat me like a fart and forget about me.”“Damn, with courage like yours, how are you even a boss? This is hilarious. Hey, you over there.” Kolby pointed at Alexander: “Step up and take a punch from me. When I swing, you fall backward dramatically. That way, I’ll go easy on you and won’t kill you in one blow.”Kolby laughed as he demonstrated a falling motion: “Watch closely. Make sure you fall back like this. It’ll make me look cooler. Those Tai Chi masters on video do it like this, and I want to experience it for myself.”Alexander smiled and nodded, playing along: “Alright, as you wish. I’ll make sure you have the best experience possible.”“Now you’re talk

    The burly man at the door grinned and said: “You guys sure got here quickly. It’s not even 20 minutes. You must live nearby?”“Not really—70 kilometers away. If my guy here hadn’t driven like a maniac, we wouldn’t have made it. I was shaken up so badly, I almost threw up.” Michal replied, leaning against the wall and miming a retch, his performance impeccable.The burly man, clearly annoyed by Michal’s retching, waved them in impatiently: “Get yourself together. Don’t embarrass yourself in front of the boss.”He gestured for them to enter. Because of Michal’s convincing act, the man didn’t bother scrutinizing Alexander.Michal stole a nervous glance at Alexander, gritting his teeth before stepping inside. At this point, there was no turning back. He had already bet everything on Alexander.Tome sat on a swing, swirling a glass of red wine as he turned to look at Money Brightens Eyes beside him.Dressed in a crimson robe, Money Brightens Eyes exuded an air of elegance.

    Nico felt as if he had seen a ghost. This couldn’t be humanly possible. He was already at 380 mph—how could he still be getting caught up to?“Nico, Nico, how’s it going? We can’t even see the taillights of that Mercedes-Benz anymore!” crackled a voice over the radio.“I’m at 380 mph!” Nico growled: “I just managed to lose him!”“Damn! Nico, you’re a beast! 380 mph? That’s legendary speed, man.”“I told you Nico’s the real deal. There’s no way a Mercedes-Benz SUV, even if modified, could reach 380 mph.”“Nico, ease up on the gas a little and try to force that Mercedes to stop. Once he does, we’ll deal with the punk driving it. How dare he try to pass us? He’s got a death wish!”Nico’s face flushed red. He wanted to scream: “I’m barely holding on here!"The Mercedes-Benz kept closing the gap. Looking ahead, Nico saw that less than a kilometer away, the road curved sharply.At 380 mph, there was no way to navigate the curve safely. Even the best driver would slow down. Handling the curv

    Whoosh! Whoosh!The Mercedes-Benz SUV shot past the Lamborghini like an arrow, its immense air pressure rocking the Lamborghini to the side like a leaf swaying in the wind.“Holy shit! It overtook me! Its speed has definitely surpassed 240 mph—I think it’s hitting over 260 mph!” Justine exclaimed in panic.For Justine, 260 mph wasn’t an unusual speed. F1 races regularly hit such velocities, and even Nico’s Bugatti Veyron could easily reach 280 or 300 mph.But for an SUV to achieve such speeds was beyond anything Justine had seen or heard of. SUVs typically participated in endurance challenges, prioritizing rugged terrain capabilities over outright speed.Hearing Justine’s report on the Mercedes-Benz, the other wealthy racers fell silent.The Porsche supercar just ahead of Justine also noticed the menacing approach of the Mercedes-Benz.“I see it too. It’s overtaking me. My current speed is 265 mph.” the Porsche driver reported.Ryon, listening for a while, grew increasingly agitated:

    Michal stared at the new message on his phone, his face twisted with dread: “Boss, Tome's guys didn’t give an exact time. They just said to wait for news tonight and that they’ll inform me of the meeting time at any moment."As he read the message, Michal felt like a blade was suspended over his head, ready to drop at any second.Alexander glanced briefly at Michal’s phone before closing his eyes and saying: “That guy is cautious. Fine, we’ll wait.""Maybe we should book a room first, Boss. You can rest properly. Sleeping in the car isn’t exactly comfortable.” Michal suggested, attempting to flatter him.Alexander shook his head, his voice indifferent: “No need. A quick nap in the car will do."Michal dared not say more. He quietly put his phone away, trying to mimic Alexander’s calm demeanor by closing his eyes and attempting to rest.Time passed quickly, and at 1 a.m., Michal’s phone suddenly rang.Still groggy, Michal fumbled for his phone. When he saw the caller ID, he immediately

    “Tome again.” Alexander muttered: “Seems that bastard keeps causing me trouble. Do you have a meeting set with him? I’d like to join.”Michal hesitated, his heart sinking. Of all the luck, he had to run into someone like Alexander, who now intended to provoke Tome. This wouldn’t end well for anyone.“Boss, how about I give you Tome’s number? You can contact him yourself. I’ll take my men and leave. We won’t step foot in Golden Harbor again.”Michal didn’t want to get involved between Alexander and Tome. No matter how things turned out between the two, Michal was certain his own ending wouldn’t be favorable. The best option now was to slip away quickly.

    Lyle's face turned red with rage, humiliated by the demand."It looks like you don’t want to apologize. Fine, don’t apologize then, but this is an insult to my people!" Lyle yelled, throwing a punch at Alexander’s face.Even though he doubted he could land a blow on Alexander, Lyle had to fight for his dignity.Alexander shook his head and casually threw a punch back, hitting Lyle in the face.Smack! Smack! Smack!Each slap from Alexander sent Lyle’s head swinging like a bell, knocking him off balance. After the barrage of slaps, Lyle staggered against the wall, struggling to stay on his feet."You... you..." Lyle spat blood, stumbling out of the room.He made his way back to the room, where Michal was waiting. Seeing Lyle's swollen face, Michal’s expression darkened."Lyle, what happened? I asked you to escort the two women, but you come back looking like this? Where are the others?" Michal asked in frustration."Mr. Michal, we were attacked. The others were knocked out, and I was th

    Gabriel nodded, pulling out his phone to make a call. After a brief conversation filled with convincing, he finally persuaded Money Brightens Eyes to come and deal with Alexander.“Young Master Tome, my junior brother has agreed to come, but he wants 600 million upfront. He insists on receiving half in advance before he brings his people over.”“600 million? That’s nothing. Give me his account details right now—I’ll transfer the money immediately. Tell him to get here as quickly as possible!” Tome snapped, pulling out his phone. With a fierce and impatient demeanor, he swiftly transferred the money to Money Brightens Eyes.Gabriel made another call to confirm, then gave Tome an “OK” gesture.“He’s on his way. He should arrive tonight or early tomorrow morning. By tomorrow, we can deal with Alexander.”“Hahaha, excellent! I’ll rest tonight so I can enjoy tomorrow. I can’t wait to see Alexander killed—and when it’s over, I’ll stomp on his corpse!” Tome said arrogantly as he retreated to
