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

“Elder brother, you know a lot of people in the banking industry; try to gather some information. We need to identify who’s behind this. If we can’t even find out who’s targeting us, finding a way to resolve this will be impossible!”Rolando nodded, pulling out his phone to call a few of his contacts in the banking world.Each time a call connected, he barely got two words in before the other party would abruptly hang up. Three calls—all the same result.“Elder brother, how is it?” Walden asked in a low voice.Rolando slowly shook his head: “They won’t say anything. All they’re telling me is to prepare the money; if we fail to pay by the deadline, they’ll proceed with legal action and auction off our assets!”“Hiss…”Walden drew in a sharp breath, shocked.“This is powerful—there are only a handful of people with enough influence to pull this off. But we’ve wronged no one!”Tommy’s face contorted with rage, slamming his hand on the table: “This must have something to do with that wort

After warning them, he turned to Eleanor: “I have to handle something. Stay at the office, and call if you need me.”“Alright, be safe.” Eleanor said, not pressing him with more questions as she watched him leave.Walden and the others, frustrated, began shouting at Eleanor once Alexander had left. But Eleanor ignored them completely, leaving them yelling in futility.Alexander drove to Misty Ridge Village. As he approached the village gate, he spotted the warehouse in the distance. Outside, a group of rough-looking young men stood around, some sitting as they talked. Alexander felt relieved—Thorne was still unharmed. He sent a text to Thorne and, after receiving a response, began walking toward the warehouse.Not far from the building, four thugs were hanging around, smoking and laughing as they casually waved their knives.As Alexander approached, one of them pointed his knife at him and said rudely: “Stay there. Can’t you see we’re busy?”“I’m here to find someone.” Alexander repli

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
