"Are you serious?" Eleanor asked, still in disbelief.Peyton nodded: “I can’t guarantee success, but the odds are high. I’ll ask my father to put in a good word tonight."As the others in the living room celebrated, Alexander, in the kitchen, wiping down the refrigerator, received two text messages on his phone.One was from Sherman."Young Master, it’s done. Tomorrow, we’ll sever all ties with the Marshall family."The other was from Blaine."Young Master Reynolds, as per your instructions, the contract will be delivered shortly."Alexander smiled, replied with a simple "Good.” and then looked over at the joyous group in the living room."Eleanor, go thank Peyton properly.” Valeria urged, unable to contain her excitement.She had always wanted to pair Eleanor with Peyton. So what if her daughter was already married? It wasn’t impossible to change that."There’s no need, Auntie. Between Eleanor and me, there’s no need for thanks.” Peyton said, waving his hand modestly, though his face

Alexander casually took out his phone, sent a message to Eleanor, and then headed to the spa.Today, he needed to quickly check on the shop he had inadvertently purchased to see how it was running.Back with Eleanor, while she was listening to Peyton talk, her phone suddenly vibrated. It was a message from Alexander, and the content was simple: "Eleanor, don’t worry. I’ll take care of the partnership with the Welsh Max Group for you. The contract will be delivered soon. As for Peyton, don’t trust him too much."Alexander handling it?Eleanor frowned, glancing out the window, feeling somewhat skeptical.She then laughed at herself, thinking, What could Alexander possibly handle? He's probably just trying to comfort me.Moreover, how could the contract with the Welsh Max Group be delivered so quickly?Of course, Peyton, sitting beside her, noticed the scene. He glanced at the message content and sneered: “Is that a message from Alexander? Let me see what he says. Oh, he claims he can ha

"It’s really nothing, just something about the shop. They’re planning a party and asked if I wanted to join."Alexander casually explained as he reached to take the phone from Eleanor's hand.His broad chest blocked Eleanor directly, his face flushed with tension."Don't touch it!" Eleanor stepped back, her expression turning cold.Alexander froze, standing still, his eyes anxiously fixed on the phone in Eleanor's hand."A dinner party, right? Let me see how much everyone pitched in." Eleanor pouted like a little girl as she attempted to open Alexander's messages.At that moment, Valeria walked over with a stern face, glaring at Alexander before saying: “Eleanor, what are you doing here? Hurry up and join Peyton; tonight, we're going out to celebrate.""Ah, I'll be right there.” Eleanor replied reluctantly, handing the phone back to Alexander: “I'll trust you this time.” she said, her tone heavy with doubt.Alexander took the phone, wiping away cold sweat from his brow with a sigh of

Eleanor hesitated for a moment, lost in thought, before reluctantly agreeing: “Uh, okay."She was anxious but found it hard to express, especially since they were already there.There was no other choice; she had to go along with it.Alexander stood behind her, noticing her hesitation, and shook his head with a faint smile. He softly said: “Let's go inside. Don’t worry, when it’s time to pay, I’ll take care of it."Eleanor turned around, her face full of doubt, staring intently at Alexander as she whispered: “You’ll take care of it? How? This is Iron Lions; it’ll cost at least hundreds of thousands!"She also felt frustrated with herself for not clarifying earlier. Now, they were about to spend a huge amount of money.But what frustrated Eleanor even more was Alexander.Even now, he was in the mood to joke with her.Couldn't he see how anxious she was?"Do you trust me?"Alexander suddenly took hold of Eleanor's soft, delicate hand. The warmth of his palm calmed her anxious heart.Ele

Peyton swaggered in, followed by a group of people, while the waitress led the way. As he walked, he turned to say something to Eleanor.But Eleanor only smiled faintly, letting out a few half-hearted laughs.Inside, she was anxious.Just a glance at the menu outside showed dishes starting in the thousand!Too expensive!Once inside the room, Valeria looked around several times, her expression immediately displeased as she exclaimed: “Oh, how can this room be so small? How are we supposed to sit here?"Valeria was the kind of person who couldn't tolerate the slightest discomfort. She glared at Alexander, who was following behind, and shouted: “If I had known, I wouldn't have brought him along. Look, five people—how are we supposed to sit?"Alexander remained silent, having grown used to his mother-in-law's constant criticism.Peyton also frowned as he looked at the small room in front of him. It was indeed cramped, and five people seemed a bit squeezed. He spoke to the waitress: “Coul

“Eleanor, I can…”Alexander barely started to explain, but his mother-in-law’s loud voice cut him off.Valeria’s face was flushed with anger, her finger nearly poking Alexander’s nose as she scolded: “What can you do? You worthless piece of trash! You’ve embarrassed us all! Either sit there quietly and wait for dinner, or get out! You’re just an in-law living off the Marshall family, a freeloader—what right do you have to make decisions here? Are you the one paying for the upgrade?”Valeria’s harsh words, laced with disdain, struck at Alexander’s pride. She truly looked down on him, seeing him as nothing more than a poor, powerless man.Alexander clenched his fists, his face darkening with a cold resolve. Everyone saw him as worthless, but little did they know…He was the Young Master of the Dragon Sect, the future Dragon Master!With a single word, he could buy not just a room upgrade but the entire restaurant!Peyton, sitting nearby, couldn’t hide his mocking grin. Alexander was tru

"Order whatever you like; feel free to indulge."After saying this, Boris whispered to the server beside him: “Bring the special menu, the one with the lowest prices, but make sure the listed dishes remain unchanged. Understood?"Boris was a shrewd man. Through just a few words and actions earlier, he had already gauged the situation.Young Master Reynolds clearly didn’t want to reveal his true identity to these people.Not long after, the server brought in the new menu.Eleanor smiled as she took it and opened it to take a look. She had expected the prices to be sky-high, but to her surprise, the dishes were only in the hundred-thousand range, with the most expensive not exceeding three hundred thousand.Even delicacies like king crab, caviar, and mushrooms were only about a million.What... why is this menu so cheap?"I won't disturb you further. If you need anything, feel free to call for me at any time."With that, Boris exited the private room, casting a quick glance at Alexander

Eleanor sighed and ordered a few dishes, also helping to pick some for Alexander.Before long, a team of specially trained servers dressed in formal attire began to bring in the dishes one by one.These were the imperial dishes of Iron Lions!A dozen servers lined up, each holding trays covered with stainless steel lids, containing delicious and tempting dishes, as they entered the private room in an orderly manner.As the lids were lifted, a mouthwatering aroma filled the room, making everyone swallow in anticipation.Valeria was extremely excited, repeatedly praising: “Peyton, we’re so lucky to have you. I really don’t know how to thank you enough."Then she glanced disdainfully at Alexander, sitting quietly, and scolded: “Look at someone else here, utterly useless. He’ll probably never be able to take us to a place like this in his lifetime. Eleanor, you should stay close to someone as outstanding as Peyton, got it?"Eleanor softly acknowledged her mother and smiled faintly.Alexan

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
Chapter 395: Only Bringing Trouble.
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. I represent

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
