"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.”

Alex was stunned for a moment. He couldn’t believe this woman still had the nerve to taunt him.He nodded slowly. “Of course. Of course.”Alrun turned with a triumphant smile, certain that her taunt had finally shut him up. In her mind, Alex was still the same pathetic dog from Rosenheim—loud when he barked, but crawling back the moment she snapped.“Mr. Ernest,” Alex said suddenly. “Did you know Miss Alrun here is my friend?”Ernest blinked, caught off guard. “Miss Alrun… you’re Mr. Saint-Claire’s friend?”“Yes! Yes!” Alrun blurted, almost tripping over her own words. “Alex and I were great friends for three years!”That was all Ernest needed to hear.“Well then… starting today,” he declared without a second of hesitation, “you will take over as the General Manager of the entire Imperial Amber Houses.”It was a massive jump—four tiers in a single breath. A general manager’s salary, benefits, and authority were on an entirely different level. They controlled staff across multiple bran

The guards started toward Alex, but he didn’t flinch. His expression stayed cold.“Alrun Treuburg,” Alex said, steady and firm, “I’ve never insulted you. I’ve never provoked you. So why do you keep mocking me?”Alrun folded her arms across her chest, chin tilted high. Her tone dripped with contempt.“You divorced Katarina—my friend—and married Sofina Scheinwald. Of course I despise you. So what?” She leaned in slightly. “Can’t handle a little dislike, you pathetic loser? And now you dare come here asking for my help? Who do you think you are?”Her sneer sharpened.“I heard the Wolfsbane family finally acknowledged you. I heard you’re walking around claiming your ancestors’ properties. Hate to break it to you, but this restaurant never belonged to the Saint-Claires. You walked into the wrong place.”Then her voice snapped like a whip. “Guards. Hit him and send him to the Rosenhiem family.”The human guards moved forward with menace—though Alex knew he could drop them all in seconds if

Alex Saint-Claire stared at Baron Rainer with a cold, hollow expression.“When the Saint-Claire’s family was ambushed that night,” Alex said quietly, “the nobles came at us like wolves. They tore through everyone. My entire family died… except my father. Everything we owned was stolen, taken by whoever arrived fastest in the chaos.”“But the law is clear. No matter who looted what, every business tied to the Saint-Claire line still belongs to the Saint-Claire blood. If the family has no heir, only then can the name change—and even that takes a hundred years.”Alex stepped closer, “So yes, Baron Rainer—you’ve been allowed to use it. But that ends today.”“I, Alexander Saint-Claire, rightful heir, reclaim this property now. The Royal Prussia Fine Jewels belongs to the Marquis Saint-Claire. It always has.”A sudden pulse of blue light flickered from Alex’s bracelet. A three-dimensional document unfolded in midair, and the same holographic file materialized in front of Baron Rainer. The

Two android guards glided toward Alex.“Sir, you are requested to leave the store,” one said in its calm synthetic voice.Alex turned slowly. “And what exactly is my mistake? I asked to check the ring before buying it. Is it wrong to make sure what I’m buying is real?”The android paused, processing his words. Its eyes blinked once in rapid sequence. “Apologies, sir. There has been an error on our side. Please continue with your purchase.”The guards stepped back to their post.Alex glanced at Dorothea and smiled faintly. “Well, seems like even your guards agree with me.”Dorothea’s face flushed red with anger. “Guards! Drag this man out of my store!”The androids turned again, but one of them hesitated.“Supervisor Dorothea,” it said, “after reviewing the interaction, I find this man to be a polite and respectable customer. Please allow him to examine the ring. I believe this kind and handsome gentleman intends to make a purchase.”Dorothea’s voice cracked with fury. “You stupid mach

At dawn, Sofina rose before the sun and dressed in a rush. Today was her first official day as deputy.Her nerves buzzed like fire in her chest as she wanted to go meet the village leaders and the merchants under Baroness Wolfsbane’s command.The Wolfsbanes might not be wealthy, but they owned a small mining town—one that didn’t cover much land, yet its veins ran deep with rare ore, valuable enough to keep the Baroness’s domain alive.If Eden’s group agreed to buy directly from them, the price of their ore would soar. It could change everything—new tools, new homes, better lives.Sofina prayed she could make it happen.Meanwhile, as Alex buttoned his worn jacket, he looked at Sofina with a crooked grin.“Dear,” he said softly, “since we got married, I’ve never given you any jewelry.”Sofina froze, eyes wide in surprise. “You don’t need to give me anything,” she said, smiling faintly. “Having you beside me already makes my life wonderful.”Alex chuckled, brushing a bit of dust off his

“I chose…” Baroness Wolfsbane faltered, then drew a hard, rattling breath.Her mind spun, laying out outcomes like cards on a table. She counted them, then made her call.“Listen to me, you bastard—Rosenheim!” she snapped, the name cracking across the room like a rifle shot.“You ought to know,” she said, eyes aflame, “when I was young there was only one Saint-Claire—Marquis Saint-Claire. No Rosenheim. Only a poor servant with the name Rosenheim.” Her words struck the air like a war drum.“My granddaughter Sofina is married to Alexander Saint-Claire. He is the rightful heir of the Marquis Saint-Claire. You—Rosenheim, ungrateful servant and thief—how dare you lift a hand and make me your enemy? Do you think I fear you? You are nothing but a thief.”Silence fell. Even Alex’s breath caught. As he watched the woman who had hated him to the bone turn, in an instant, into his fiercest ally.Katarina’s face went hard. Fury stole color into her cheek.“Want to die, old woman? You reek of eart
