"You're truly unruly, uneducated, and nothing more than a frog in a well, thinking you're so great!”

Sophia scoffed with disdain.

“That's why I despise talking to someone as lowly as you!"

Alex chuckled, “Believe me, I am trying to be honest here.”

"You? A powerful man?" she sneered, glaring at him with utter disgust.

"You can't even begin to understand how powerful I am or the people I've encountered who are far more powerful than you. They could erase you with just a sneer."

Alex laughed.

"The powerful men you know might be the ones seeking my favor, pleading for me to marry their daughters just to stay in my good graces. Trust me, you're incredibly lucky to have crossed paths with me."

What a braggart!

Sophia rowed her eyes in disgust.

She wanted nothing more than to throw something at his smug face.

How shameless could he be, pretending to be so powerful when all he had was an old military backpack?

"You might pretend not to know me and try to bind me with marriage just to get my money," Sophia retorted.

"But I warn you, that’s never going to happen. If my family finds out I slept with a poor man like you, you’ll be erased from this world. So you’d better keep your mouth shut and forget everything that happened here."

"I…"

"I don’t want to hear another word from you. Now, get out of this room," she demanded, her eyes blazing with fury.

"But…"

Alex tried to protest.

This was his room.

“NOW!”

Yet, seeing the fury in Sophia’s wide eyes, he chose not to argue.

He quietly put on his clothes, grabbed his old military backpack, and looked at Sophia one last time.

"I…"

"Get out!" Sophia’s yelled at the top of her lung.

"Alright."

In the elevator, Alex sighed, running a hand through his hair.

He knew the woman was under the influence of a cruel aphrodisiac, one that would end her life if she didn’t have sex with a man within the hour.

If there were any other way to save her, he would have done it already.

But that kind of sinister poison had no antidote.

"What the hell have I done? I came here to meet my fiancée, but before even meeting her, I’ve already slept with another woman. Maybe this is what they call a legendary bachelor party."

As Alex walked out from the elevator into the lobby, it was around five in the morning.

The hotel was quiet, with only a few people scattered around.

Yet, as he crossed the lobby, a group of men in black—about forty of them—suddenly appeared, forming two lines and bowing deeply as he passed.

He glanced at them with little interest, his expression one of boredom as if this was something he was long tired of.

A middle-aged man stepped forward from the group, kneeling before him in a knight-like stance.

"I am Alfred Kingston, at your service, Young Master," the man declared with reverence.

Alex looked down at him. "Alfred, do you know why I’m here in such simple clothes?"

"Young Master,

please enlighten me," Alfred responded, his head still bowed.

"I’m here incognito," Alex explained. "And all this unnecessary fuss—are you trying to blow my cover so everyone knows who I truly am?"

"I apologize for my short-sightedness," Alfred quickly stood, turning to the men behind him.

With a swift gesture, he signaled for them to disperse, and the line of men quickly melted away, leaving the lobby empty once more.

"Tell me what youre here for," Alex said as he walked toward a nearby sofa.

Alfred followed closely behind, like a faithful servant.

"Yes, Young Master," Alfred responded promptly.

He reached into his coat and pulled out a small box.

Opening it, he revealed a black card with gold trim and a .235-carat diamond embedded in the center.

"This is the World First Royale Mastercard. With unlimited credit, just use it as you see fit."

Alfred humbly handed it to Alex.

"This card also comes with a dedicated 24/7 concierge service that is highly personalized for you alone.”

“You’ll have access to a team that can fulfill almost any request, whether it’s securing last-minute reservations at the finest restaurants, arranging private jet travel, or gaining entry to exclusive events.”

“It connects you to the most secretive circles—no one will ever say no to you."

Alex looked at the card without any interest.

Alfred continued.

"I also arranged for the newest Sport car Bugatti La Voiture Noire, a one-of-a-kind model equipped with the latest artificial intelligence technology and self-driving capabilities.”

“But since you are here incognito, I guess you won’t like it, — so here is a villa in case you need to have a long stay."

Alfred explained with caution.

Alex nodded.

"Good to see you understood. I’ll keep the card for emergencies, but you can hold onto all the other gifts you’ve prepared."

“Now, tell me what you want.”

    All Alex wanted was to survive in this place and eventually find a way out.That was it.He didn’t want fame. He didn’t want status. He certainly didn’t want to throw himself into some reckless competition that could get him killed.So why did everything here seem to drag him toward danger?He truly couldn’t understand the way these people thought.Still… in his current condition, he had no way of facing Li Chingxue.If this had happened in the past—when his power was still intact—the situation would have been completely different. Back then, he could have slapped that beautiful, arrogant face of hers without hesitation.And she would have had no choice but to accept it.But now…“Why am I so unlucky…?”Alex let out a long sigh.Complaining wouldn’t change anything. Right now, the only real way to protect himself was to grow stronger. He needed better skills. Better martial arts.And that meant reaching the second floor of the library.The first floor only held basic manuals—technique

    Pure Snow Sword Maiden, Li Chingxue, stood among the most important disciples in the entire sect. She was one of the five core disciples personally chosen by the Sect Master—a position far above the ordinary ranks.Core disciples answered directly to the Sect Master himself. They handled matters that affected the entire sect—internal disputes, external threats, and the delicate balance of power within Wudang.And from those five, one would eventually inherit the position of Sect Master.Their status inside Wudang Sect was not merely high.It was decisive.Li Chingxue stood calmly before the Sect Master and bowed with quiet respect.“Master, is there anything you need from me?”The Sect Master looked at her, then suddenly laughed.“The person you brought to the sect…” he said slowly, amusement flickering in his eyes. “That young man is extremely interesting. Ever since he appeared, life in this old sect has become far less boring.”Li Chingxue’s brows tightened slightly.“Master, if he

    Alex stepped into the field and quietly searched for several herbs he needed.For him, this was more than fair.He wasn’t stealing recklessly. In fact, he had taken less than one percent of the herbs in the field. In return, he had left behind a method that could increase the field’s production by two hundred percent or more.If the owner followed the instructions, the harvest would explode.They would become incredibly wealthy from the field alone.That was a trade any sensible cultivator would gladly accept.That night, Alex selected five different types of herbs.He carefully uprooted them and carried them back to his courtyard.Once home, he replanted the herbs in the soil of his yard.Now he already had twenty-year-old herbs growing in his courtyard. Some could be harvested seasonally, while others could be gathered each year.There was no longer any need for him to wait.After that, Alex rested for several days.He had already calculated the safest method.If he wanted to gather

    Alex had already made up his mind.He would stay far away from the medical pavilion.The moment he showed his face there, people would start noticing him. And once people noticed him, questions would follow. Questions meant attention. And attention always brought trouble.Alex had no intention of inviting trouble.So he kept to himself.He stayed inside his small courtyard hut and stopped going anywhere near the medical pavilion.Life as an Outer Sect disciple on Thousand Herbs Peak turned out to be surprisingly comfortable.Back when he worked in the Kitchen, he had access to all kinds of delicious food. That was the one thing he genuinely missed. But aside from that small regret, everything else suited him perfectly.The environment on Thousand Herbs Peak was excellent for cultivation. The spiritual energy in the air was rich and pure, far better than most places in the sect. Alex could simply sit in meditation and steadily absorb the energy around him.For someone focused on cultiv

    At dawn the next morning, Alex woke early.The air was still cool, and a faint mist hung over the mountain.He stepped out of his small log cabin, crossed the quiet courtyard, and began walking toward the Medicines Pavilion.The sun slowly rose over the distant horizon. Golden light spilled across the sky, scattering through layers of drifting mist. The colors shimmered across the mountain paths like schools of golden carp swimming through clouds.It was a breathtaking sight.But Alex barely slowed down.He walked quickly along the stone path, surrounded by numerous Outer Sect disciples who were heading in the same direction. Their robes fluttered in the morning breeze.None of them recognized him.And Alex didn’t recognize any of them either.The last time he had come here, Xuan Chen had only given him a brief explanation of how things worked inside the Medicines Pavilion.Today, he intended to see it for himself.When Alex arrived, he walked straight to one of the staff members stan
