"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.”

    Li Qingxue raised her hand. The simple gesture silenced everyone at once.“Enough,” she said calmly. “This is nothing but mortal gossip. Those who seek immortality should not be affected by such petty stories.”“But it will damage your reputation,” one of her friends insisted, her brows tightly knit.Li Qingxue shook her head. “As long as my heart is pure, I don’t care what others say.”She turned her gaze toward a junior disciple standing nearby.“Junior,” she said evenly, “go and warn the Outer Disciples. Tell them to stop spreading rumors immediately. I will never tolerate fabricated stories. They are to stop disturbing mortals and focus on their cultivation.”“Yes, Senior,” the junior replied without hesitation. He bowed deeply, then turned and left at once.Those who truly knew Li Qingxue understood her well.She wanted nothing except cultivation. Cold. Detached. Untouchable.She had never shown interest in mortal affairs, nor in anyone beneath the heavens.Yet when the warning r

    “Hey, Zhuge Liang.” Alex glanced at him lazily. “If that woman kills me, you’ll lose your position as Acting City Lord.”He turned back to the bed, dragged the blanket over himself, and lay down as if the world outside no longer existed.“Handle it yourself,” Alex added with a wide yawn. “I’m going to sleep. Tell her to stop screaming at the gate.”“Sir,” Zhuge Liang said quickly, his voice tense, “she is an Immortal. We mortals should not provoke Immortals.”Alex opened one eye. “So that means she can provoke mortals instead?” he replied flatly.“Anyway, speaking of Immortals… we actually know one, don’t we? Li Qingxue. She gave me a communication talisman.”He reached under his pillow, took out a talisman, and tossed it toward Zhuge Liang without even sitting up.“Use it if you need to,” Alex said. Then he turned over and closed his eyes again.—Outside the Bai Family gate.Murong Yue’s face was burning red.Since joining the Wudang Sect, almost no one had ever dared to look down o

    Alex looked straight at Bai Yuhan.“So I’m not your real big brother. Is that it?”Bai Yuhan lifted her chin. Her face was serious, almost stubborn. “No. You’re not.”“Good.” Alex didn’t hesitate. “Then that gold isn’t real either. Give it back.”Bai Yuhan froze.For a split second, her fingers tightened around the wooden box in her hands.“No,” she said again, more firmly this time. “The gold is real. You’re not.”A sharp smile touched Alex’s lips, but there was no warmth in it.“Since I’m not your brother, and you’re not my little sister, I’ll just take my gold back.”He stepped toward her.Bai Yuhan immediately retreated, clutching the box to her chest. “No! This gold is mine.”“But you’re not my little sister,” Alex said flatly.“I am your little sister,” she shot back.“You just said I’m not your big brother.” His voice hardened. “So how exactly are you my little sister? Give me back my gold.”The tension snapped.“Big Brother!” Bai Yuhan blurted out at last, her pride collapsing

    Being powerless was not a sin. But falling from the height of absolute power into total helplessness—that was when life turned from heaven into hell without warning.Alex had no strength left, no hidden force, nothing at all to stop her.None at all.So he lunged forward on instinct and caught the blade with his bare hand.The knife sliced through his fingers. Flesh split open.Blood spilled instantly.The blade slipped from her grip. Alex snatched it away and flung it aside, where it clattered across the floor.“Stop it,” Alex said.“Why?” the young woman screamed. Tears streamed down her face. Desperation burned in her eyes—raw, hopeless, and broken. “My whole life is already ruined because of you. Why shouldn’t I die now?”Alex stared at her.She was small. Too small. Barely fifteen, at most. A child forced to grow up too fast because fate had saddled her with a monster like Bai Xiaochun as her brother.Her eyes locked onto Alex’s, demanding an answer.Why won’t you let me die?Why

    Alex scanned the square. Citizens were already gathering, their voices rising, their faces tight with anger and hope.Someone shouted for justice. Then another. The sound spread like fire.He turned his gaze to Zhuge Liang.The man was around forty, a familiar presence in the city—someone who seemed to know everyone, and in turn was known by everyone.His eyes were sharp and alive, burning with expectation. Alex could see it clearly—this man wanted him to act, to shoulder responsibility, to change things for the people.It would be troublesome. Very troublesome.Alex raised his hand.The City Lord’s seal caught the light.“People of Qingshui City,” Alex said.Silence crashed down instantly, as if the entire square had been frozen by an invisible hand.“This is my first command as City Lord.”Everyone recognized the authority in his voice, the weight of the seal.Zhuge Liang dropped to one knee without hesitation.A heartbeat later, the entire crowd followed, kneeling in unison.“I, Ba

    This time, Bai Xi made a fatal mistake.He had forgotten one thing.He was facing Alex.Alex shouted without hesitation, “Immortal Lu. Immortal Sun. My uncle said that if I dared to take the seal, he would kill me. He clearly has no respect for the two of you.”Bai Xi’s face drained of color. His brain shut down completely.He never imagined Alex would pull a move like this—dropping the ultimate snitch card and hauling the immortals straight into the fight like it was nothing.Sun Muran’s expression turned cold. She took one step forward.“So, Bai Xi, you little pig” she said calmly, “do you truly have no regard for us? Do you want me to remove your head before you are willing to hand over the position?”The pressure hit Bai Xi like a mountain collapsing.His legs buckled. His body slammed into the ground, kneeling against his will.“I’m sorry! I’m sorry!” Bai Xi cried, panic breaking through his composure. “Immortal Sun, this matter is merely a family misunderstanding. I’ll give the
