“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

Peyton had left, and the gathering dispersed.When it was time to pay, Alexander escorted Eleanor and Valeria's group to the car before turning back toward the restaurant.Boris had already informed the reception that there was no charge for the private room in the Sky garden.As Alexander entered the lobby, a server greeted him with a respectful smile, saying: “Young Master Reynolds, Director Vega and Mr. Lopez are waiting for you upstairs."Alexander nodded, his hands in his pockets, and headed up the stairs.But suddenly, a mocking voice reached his ears.“Well, well, isn’t this Alexander, the useless freeloader of our family? What are you doing here?”Alexander looked up and saw Laurie and a group of wealthy young people descending the stairs.Her long, shapely legs were certainly the kind that made men's hearts skip a beat.Alexander frowned and stepped aside, not wanting to get into a confrontation with Laurie at the moment.But Laurie crossed her arms over her chest, showcasing

Instead, it was Laurie who was holding her cheek, stunned for a long moment before reacting, and then furiously yelling at Boris: “You dare hit me? You hit me over some penniless loser?"Boris’s eyes were icy as he shouted: “If you step into our restaurant, you're a guest of mine. I don’t care who you are—if you cause trouble here, I won’t let it slide! Guards, throw them out!"Immediately, several security guards rushed over, grabbed the shouting Laurie, and escorted her out.The other wealthy young people quickly followed her out.Laurie got up from the ground, her backside aching from the fall.She stood up and cursed until her voice was hoarse: “Boris, you’re done for! I’m the third daughter of the Marshall family! A small-time manager like you dares to do this to me? I’ll have people tear down your shabby restaurant!"After yelling, Laurie tried to charge forward again, but the patrons at a nearby table held her back.The handsome young man from earlier pulled Laurie aside and sh

As soon as she entered, she angrily addressed Tommy: “Tommy, today we have to get Eleanor out of the company. I want her kicked out like a stray dog!"Laurie had been seething since last night.Tommy turned around, noticing Laurie's rage, and asked: “What happened? Did Eleanor upset you?""It wasn't her, it was that scumbag Alexander!"Laurie sat down on the sofa, arms crossed, her expression sour: “Last night, I went to Iron Lions for dinner, and I couldn’t believe that poor loser Alexander was there too. I insulted him a bit, and then Boris Vega, the manager at Iron Lions, slapped me in front of everyone. I swear, I will make him pay for this!""Iron Lions? How could that broke guy afford to go there?"Tommy was shocked, then asked: “You’re saying Boris slapped you because of Alexander? That can’t be right. Boris is Mr. Vega—one of the four big bosses of the Golden Harbor underworld. Why would he hit you over that punk Alexander? You’re the third young lady of the Marshall family; t

After all, his men had been waiting at the Welsh Max Corporation since yesterday, and they reported that Eleanor had never shown up.So, where did this contract come from?It must be fake!But.Eleanor laughed coldly, her expression icy as she raised her eyebrows: “Tommy, do you really hope this contract is fake?”This statement left Tommy speechless: “What… what do you mean?”Mr. Marshall’s face also darkened. He struck his cane on the floor and shouted: “Enough, enough! If everyone is suspicious of this contract, why not just make a phone call and find out?”“Yes, yes, yes!” Tommy hurriedly agreed: “Let’s call right now.”With that, Tommy turned around, glaring coldly at Eleanor: “Keep pretending, I’m eager to see what you’ll do once the call is made!”Mr. Marshall immediately called Welsh Max Corporation, speaking warmly: “Hello, is this Chairman Blaine? Yes, yes, greetings, greetings. I’m the chairman of Eco Vision Pharmaceuticals and the head of the Marshall family. My name is Ro

Tommy watched with satisfaction as Eleanor was slapped by their grandfather. Seizing the moment, he added fuel to the fire: "Grandfather, I think Eleanor is showing less and less respect for you. Maybe we should strip her of her position as Chief Inspector and send her down to the grassroots level in the marketing department for a few years. Let her endure some hardship so she'll realize how kind you've been to her.""Exactly, Grandfather. Tommy is right. Eleanor has become too arrogant because of the favor you've shown her these past years. She should be sent down to the lower ranks for some proper training.” Laurie chimed in, her eyes gleaming with mockery and smugness.Mr. Marshall pondered for a moment, then firmly tapped his cane on the ground, his voice cold as he said: “Do as Tommy suggested. From today, Eleanor is relieved of her position as Chief Inspector and will be transferred to the grassroots level of the marketing department. She'll start from scratch!""Grandfather!" E

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
