"And if you don’t make that man kneel before me next time, don’t even think about discussing cooperation again!"
Tommy stood frozen as Cisco left. He had thought he could gain favor and become the brightest member of the Marshall family, but reality had dealt him a painful slap.
After regaining his senses, Tommy directed all his anger at Alexander; if it weren’t for Alexander, Cisco wouldn’t have left!

After Alexander and Eleanor left the company, they drove leisurely down the road.“Alexander, I just feel like everything isn’t real. Why would those real estate moguls gift us such a large plot of land?” Eleanor said, feeling somewhat bewildered.“It’s not that big, only about 500 acres. It’s not nearly enough to build a few high-rises.” Alexander replied casually.“You sound like a real estate tycoon! What do you mean, ‘only 500 acres’? Such a large piece of land is useless to us. The uncles are bound to be watching us like hawks, they might even stir up trouble later.” Eleanor expressed her concern, worried that it could bring further turmoil at home. Besides, with such a large piece of land, she didn’t have the capital to expand the factory.“No rush. Today they’re giving us land, maybe tomorrow, someone will give us factories and equipment. It’ll all come in time.” Alexander said with a smile, then looked out the window: “Let’s go visit Mary and check with the doctor about her con

Alexander applied a bit of force with his foot, pushing the old woman off. The chubby boy looked wide-eyed in the direction his grandmother was thrown, suddenly frightened.Just as the boy was about to release his grip, Alexander’s other leg lifted, sending him rolling to the ground like a tumbling ball, stopping only when he reached his grandmother.The constant rolling left the chubby boy dizzy, stars spinning before his eyes.Ignoring her pain, the old woman got up and carefully checked on her grandson.Eleanor stepped out of the shop, glanced at the distant old lady and boy, and asked, slightly puzzled: “What happened to them?”"Nothing, let’s go get tickets.” Alexander replied, carrying Mary as he walked with Eleanor to the ticket booth.Mary wrapped her arms around Alexander’s neck, whispering in his ear: “Dad, you’re amazing! You looked just like a superhero.”“Hahaha, I am a superhero. Soon, I’ll fly high with you, Mary.” Alexander laughed happily.Watching Alexander’s family b

One of the guards, eager to curry favor with Arturo, turned and intercepted Mary, lifting her up.In the guard’s arms, Mary struggled fiercely, slapping him on the shoulders, neck, and face. She even scratched his face with her nails in the chaos.The guard, his face twisted in anger, raised his hand to slap Mary: “You little brat! Are you trying to get yourself killed? You scratched my face!”“No, let go of my daughter!”Eleanor, seeing the guard about to hit Mary, screamed hoarsely, trying to rush forward to save her.The guards stepped in, blocking Eleanor’s path.“You’re asking for it!”Alexander’s eyes went cold. He moved forward quickly, shoving aside the guards in his way.The guard holding Mary raised his hand to slap her, and Mary squeezed her eyes shut, calling out for her dad.Just as Mary felt the wind from the guard’s hand about to strike, Alexander grabbed the guard’s wrist.Then, he squeezed, crushing the guard’s wrist.“Agh!”The guard screamed in agony as Alexander pul

The chubby boy pouted, shouting angrily: “Dad, are you even a man? Hurry up and take that girl for me, then beat her dad to death! That way, she’ll be mine forever!”With a mother who caused trouble and a son who endangered him, Arturo felt like he was on the brink of despair. He realized his mother and son were clueless about the severity of the situation, and if they kept this up, it would be a collective death sentence for the family.Arturo’s lackeys, now pale and terrified, hastily dropped their sticks and huddled together, crouching with their hands over their heads.“Young Master Reynolds, we’re sorry! We were forced by Arturo, we didn’t want to harm you.”“We’re all decent people, forced by Arturo! Please believe us!” Arturo’s men groveled in apology, terrified of being dragged into the mess any further.The old lady finally sensed something was wrong, her eyes revealing a hint of fear.Joshua approached Alexander and bowed respectfully at a twenty-degree angle: “Young Master

“Mom, why are you driving Alexander away? I don’t know any mysterious Young Master Reynolds, and you shouldn’t believe such rumors.” Eleanor responded decisively.Valeria smiled knowingly, as if she understood everything: “Oh, Eleanor, I know you’re shy and don’t want this useless man to know you’ve climbed the social ladder.”“But sooner or later, he’ll find out, so don’t worry. If he dares to make trouble, your father and I are here to keep him in check.”Eleanor, frustrated, wanted to refute her mother’s assumptions, but she knew arguing would only make things worse, possibl

Early in the morning, Lucas Jones, Steve Jones, and Marvin Jones sat in the main house."Big brother, today I wish you success in winning the favor of that mysterious and wealthy Young Master Reynolds. If so, the Jones family can rise up from here on out." Lucas eagerly flattered Marvin.Steve felt a bit uncomfortable, the stronger the first branch became, the less he would get in the future.Hiding his calculations, Steve smiled and said: “Big brother, you have to treat cousin Eleanor well this time. After all, she has a slight connection with that mysterious rich man.""Haha."Marvin sneered: “That's just Aunt exaggerating. Do you know what she told me on the phone yesterday?""What did she say? Did she say Eleanor has no connection with that mysterious wealthy man?" Steve asked."Something like that. Then she even said her useless son-in-law would go with me. I feel this is unreliable, probably just another wasted day." Marvin shook his head.Lucas slammed the table, thinking of ho

Marvin was near his wit’s end: “Mr. Sims, at least give us a rough timeframe. If you suddenly tell us to start tomorrow, where would I find people and equipment on such short notice?”“What do you want me to do about it? Even I can’t meet with our boss whenever I want. If you’re so capable, go find him yourself.”Marvin regained his composure, eyeing the phone on Leonidas’s desk: “Could you call Young Master Reynolds and explain our situation? We’re truly in a bind.”“He’s not in the office, so who do you want me to call? I don’t even have his private number. If you don’t believe me, you’re welcome to wait outside his office.”Leonidas shook his head, closing the file and tossing it aside. The monotony of recent weeks had started to wear on him, too.“Let me be blunt with you: our boss is incredibly wealthy, and the Eleanor Missing investment is just a game for him, something he barely cares about. He may have already forgotten about it, and construction will start only when it crosse

Alexander gave Marvin and his brothers an amused look before heading toward the CEO’s office door.Kipling quickly stepped forward, swiped his access card to unlock the door, and gestured for Alexander to enter.Marvin’s eyes widened, and as he tried to follow Alexander inside, Kipling turned and kicked him squarely in the stomach, sending him flying back several meters."Ow! My stomach!"Marvin clutched his stomach as he lay on the floor, feeling as though he’d narrowly escaped death from that kick.Kipling closed the chairman’s office door and coldly said: “Daring to barge into our chairman’s office—are you tired of living?”"Hey! If that worthless man can go in, then why can’t my brother?" Lucas helped Marvin up, coldly questioning Kipling."Who do you think you are to compare with him? He’s a radiant moon, and you’re nothing but fireflies, completely unworthy of comparison." Kipling said with a smug expression.Lucas was about to say something else, but Marvin held up his hand, gr

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
