"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.”

Gerhard’s face lit up as he led her to one of Winchester’s most famous bistros. The place was elegant and warm, wrapped in soft lighting and low, murmuring conversations.They had barely taken their seats when the dishes began arriving, one after another, perfectly arranged.Gerhard signaled the waiter. “A bottle of your finest red wine.”Then he turned to Renata with a polished smile. “It’s such a happy day. You’ve been discharged. We should drink to celebrate.”Renata raised her hand immediately. “I’ll pass.”“No can do!” Gerhard blurted out, his voice sharp and impatient.His disappointment was instant. His plan was obvious—get her drunk, loosen her guard, find an opening. But Renata shut him down without hesitation.“I’m really sorry, Gerha

Alex was at home when Oskar called.“Sir,” Oskar said. “How do you want to proceed with Anton Dunkel?”Alex lay back on the bed and stared at the ceiling. He thought for a moment. “He wanted me dead over a cheap money scam involving Leonora,” he said flatly. “But we’re not going to kill him over something that small, are we?”“No, sir,” Oskar replied. “We’ll drain him dry. Every last cent. Then we take over all his land.”Alex’s expression hardened. “Marquis Anton Dunkel controls a major state. It borders Xia territory. Do you really think we can handle it?”“Of course we can,” Oskar said without hesitation. “Our underground network includes many Xia people who are still deeply connected to Xia.”“They’re ready to take any position we give them. They know the terrain, the systems, and the routes. Their big families are there—and to them, family is everything. They’ll handle it perfectly.”Alex fell silent. He had money—more than enough—but in Prussia, money alone didn’t equal power.Ta

The gunshot cracked through the hall.Everyone saw it.The red-haired man’s head snapped back as blood sprayed the air. His body dropped before anyone could even scream.What shocked the crowd even more—Kaltmann was shot too.Leon Zhao’s bullet tore straight through Kaltmann’s body. A dark hole bloomed in his chest. Kaltmann staggered, eyes wide, staring at Anton in pure disbelief.“You… you… how dare—”Bang.Leon Zhao fired again. This time, straight through Kaltmann’s head.The old man collapsed lifelessly to the floor.Leonora stood abruptly, her chair scraping loudly. She stared at Leon Zhao, fury burning in her eyes.“How dare you open fire in this hall?”Leon Zhao smiled calmly, as if he had merely corrected a mistake.“I never let people who try to scam me walk away alive,” he said. “And that bastard even dared to accuse my Master of helping him. What kind of poisonous snake would do that? I had to kill him.”“Wonderful,” Alex said. He clapped slowly, mockingly. The sound echoe

Alex’s foot snapped forward in a brutal arc and slammed into Kaltmann’s chest.The old man was launched backward. Blood sprayed from his mouth as his body crashed across the floor.“How dare you,” Alex said coldly, stepping forward, “as an advisor, criticize a decision made by Miss Silberkreuz.”He stared down at Kaltmann like a judge passing sentence.“Who do you think you are?” Alex continued. “You think you can control your own boss?”“This kick was sent by Miss Silberkreuz,” he said. “To remind you of your place. And to make sure you never mislead her again.”Kaltmann wiped the blood from his lips and glared at Alex Saint-Claire with hatred burning in his eyes.Leonora was hesitating. She hadn’t made a bid yet. And it was because of Alex.Kaltmann’s voice was rough and strained, scraping out of his throat.“You’re the one who lied to Miss Silberkreuz,” he snarled. “You’re the reason she lost a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.”Alex laughed—a short, sharp sound full of contempt.“Wh

The host smiled tightly.“We’re here to do business, not start a war. Let’s all calm down.”Leonora found her seat at the very front of the hall, her name engraved neatly on the table. As expected, Alex was seated automatically at her right.The problem was the left seat.Old man Kaltmann had already taken it.Alex Saint-Claire sat down without reacting. As he did, Leonora leaned closer, lowering her voice.“That man over there—the one you slapped,” she whispered, her eyes flicking forward, “is Marquise Anton Dunkel. The richest man in Dunkelfels. His duke despised my grandfather, so our families have been at each other’s throats for years.”Her voice hardened. “The one beside him is Leon Zhao—a powerful cultivator from the Xia country. He defected to Prussia long ago

“What the hell are you doing?!” Kaltmann roared, his voice cracking with rage. “I’m calling the police!”Alex knew exactly what that meant. If this reached the authorities, there would be sanctions—serious ones. His status, his citizenship—everything he had spent three brutal years fighting to obtain—could be erased in a single decision.He turned sharply to Leonora.“Miss Silberkreuz,” Alex said, “I slapped and kicked this man under your authority. Do you want me to kill him too?”Leonora froze. For a split second, even she looked shaken. Alex had just dumped every risk straight into her hands without hesitation.“That’s a lie!” Kaltmann shouted, staggering upright. His finger shook as he pointed at Alex, fury trembling through his arm.“Miss Silberkreuz never ordered you to touch me! How dare you hit me—kick me! You’ll pay for this!”Alex stepped forward.In one brutal motion, he grabbed Kaltmann by the collar and smashed his fist into the old man’s face—once, then again.“Miss Silb
