"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 you’re 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.”
Latest Chapter
Chapter 571
Alex was enjoying his life in the kitchen.At some point, he stopped worrying about what his future might look like. He stopped thinking about trials, rankings, or status. Most of his days were spent eating and cultivating alongside his Elder Brothers.They refined Food Pills, cultivation pills, laughed, and stuffed themselves until they could barely stand. It was simple. It was steady.Life was good.As the months passed, bits of gossip drifted into the kitchen like smoke from the outer courtyards. News about the Wudang Sect traveled fast, even to the servants’ quarters.He learned the structure piece by piece.The disciples were divided into three ranks: Core Sect, Inner Sect, and Outer Sect.Servants like him lived in the lowest area, working, cooking, cleaning. But there was a rule—one narrow path upward.Any servant who cultivated to the fifth level of Chi Condensation—who could truly sense the dantian and draw energy from the air, gathering Chi into their body—could apply for th

When Alex opened his eyes, the ceiling swam above him.For a moment he didn’t remember where he was. Then the faces came into focus—eight round, stunned faces staring down at him as if he had just crawled out of a grave.All eight Fattys crowded around the chair he had awkwardly converted into a makeshift bed.Their bulky frames blocked out the light, their shadows falling over him. Eyes wide, mouths slightly open, they stared down at him as if he had just performed a miracle—or survived one.Awe. Pure awe.“Little Brother Ninth,” the First Fatty said carefully, like he was handling something fragile. “Tell me the truth. Did you really cook those food pills?”Alex swallowed. His throat felt dry. “Yes.”A ripple passed through the room.The First Fatty leaned closer. “Did you change the recipe?”“Yes.”Alex pushed himself upright. His body still felt weak, but his mind was clear. He glanced around the chairs until he spotted a stack of paper notes on a nearby table. He reached for it.
Chapter 569
They kept eating.Hundred-year ginsengs. Rare spirit mushrooms. Spirit fruits and leaves that glowed faintly under the lantern light. Trays of precious herbs that would have driven ordinary disciples mad with envy.Alex ate everything they pushed toward him. So did the other fatties.He swallowed until his vision blurred. The rich spiritual energy surged through his veins like fire. His head spun. His face flushed red. Heat rolled off his skin, and soon white steam curled from the top of his head as if he were a boiling kettle.He felt drunk.No—worse than drunk.The more he forced himself to eat, the warmer Big Fatty and the others became. Their eyes softened. Their grins widened. They watched him like proud older brothers initiating a new recruit into a secret order.By the end, they leaned back, slapped their massive stomachs, and burst into booming laughter. The kitchen shook with it.“Everyone,” Big Fatty First announced, wiping his mouth with the back of his hand. “We follow tra

Alex had already done the math in his head. If they rushed him together—him, a nobody with no backing, no allies—he would die.Not maybe. Not possibly. One hundred percent.“You’re the Ninth, right?” Wang Junhao shouted, pointing straight at him.Alex immediately forced an innocent look onto his face. “No. You’ve got the wrong person. You’re knocking on the wrong door.”“Liar!” Wang Junhao roared. His hands clenched into fists as he stared at Alex like he wanted to tear him apart. “You’re not fat. You’re obviously a newbie!”“Senior Wang Junhao,” one of the men behind him said impatiently. “Enough talking. Let’s just kill him now!”“Yes!” another agreed at once.They started advancing. One of them kicked the door without hesitation. The wooden door exploded inward with a single blow, splintering apart.Alex could see it clearly now. Every face was twisted with rage. These people weren’t bluffing. They looked ready to kill him on the spot.“Pure Snow Sword Maiden Li Qingxue brought me
Chapter 567
Alex was too stunned to speak as the fat woman led him away from the building and onto a nearby path, talking the entire time.Her voice was flat and practiced as she explained the basic rules and customs of the Wudang Sect, as if she had repeated the same words a thousand times before.The path beneath their feet was paved with smooth green limestone, winding through layers of courtyards and elegant buildings.Fragrant plants and blooming flowers filled the air, their scent light and intoxicating.The entire place felt unreal—serene, lofty, almost divine, like a paradise carved out of the mortal world.Alex felt it immediately.Once, he had been a cultivator. Even now, his instincts had not dulled.The natural energy here was astonishingly dense, the kind Xia cultivators called Heaven and Earth Energy. It pressed gently against his skin, seeped into his lungs, and soaked into his bones.Just breathing here refreshed his cells.His thoughts sharpened.On Earth, he had about five years
Chapter 566
Alex knew at once that he had blacked out.He had been unable to withstand the invisible pressure released by Wu Bu—the Tiger of Wuhan. Wu Bu had only leaked a trace of his Immortal force, just enough to crush the servants to their knees.It was meant as a warning. A show of dominance. Not an attempt to harm mortals.But Wu Bu did not know the truth.Alex was not from Xia.His body was far weaker than that of an ordinary Xia citizen. What others could endure with clenched teeth had shattered him.Bones strained. Organs screamed. Darkness swallowed his vision.That was why he collapsed.What shocked him now was what came after.When Alex opened his eyes, he was no longer in the City Lord’s residence.He was flying.Cold wind tore past his face as the ground rushed far below. Endless forest stretched beneath him. Beside him—no, holding him—was Li Qingxue.One of her hands was clenched in Alex’s collar, lifting him effortlessly. His body dangled in the air, feet useless, like prey caught
