"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
Once I Accept The Inheritance: You're All Doomed! Chapter 52: Impersonation To Secure The Contract.
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

The group attempted to close in on Alexander, limiting his movements. They knew that if he maintained this level of speed, they were in serious trouble.“You think you can corner me? 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
