"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.”

    One full month. That was how long it had taken—thirty grueling days of relentless production, sleepless nights, and quiet victories measured in exponential growth.The swarm had multiplied beyond counting. The Mother AI now pulsed at the heart of the building like a living heartbeat.And the first finished product rested in his small palm: a thin, transparent strip no larger than a band-aid, shimmering faintly under the lantern light.He had chosen Lu Piao for this moment—the sharp-eyed young man from Thousand Herb’s Peak and the circle of trusted disciples who had followed him since the beginning.They were the ones who understood loyalty and hungered for strength.“Lu Piao,” Alex called, his voice steady and low.The disciple stepped forward, robes whispering across the polished floor. Alex extended his hand, offering the small device.“You will use this technology.”Lu Piao took the strip between two fingers and turned it over, brow furrowed. “What is this?”“It is artificial intel

    Alex sat alone in the sect master’s office, the vast chamber silent except for the faint creak of ancient wooden beams overhead. Sunlight slanted through paper windows, catching dust motes that drifted like lazy spirits.The room was empty. Every elder and senior disciple who might have challenged his authority had already come and gone, each one slipping away with a handful of the precise movements he had demonstrated.They had taken what they needed and vanished into closed-door cultivation, sealing themselves away for months or years.Even the proudest among them had bowed their heads when he spoke, because they all knew the truth: he was ranked number one across all peaks and had only a five-year contract as the sect master. Now, one felt threatened by him.He leaned back in the heavy carved chair and his small fingers drummed once against the armrest. The silence felt like victory, but it also felt heavy.Alex let his gaze wander across the room—the faded scrolls on the walls, th

    Alex had never pretended to be a good man, but he wasn’t a villain either.He understood the Wudang Sect had its own plans, ones that didn’t always match his own.Over the years he had gained plenty from them—skills, respect, a place at their table. Yet those gains had never been enough to chain him here forever.“I need to leave this place,” he said.He had unfinished business waiting in Estoria.The Sect Master studied him for a long moment, then gave a slow nod. “When you become the young successor of the Sect Master, you will be free to go anywhere you wish.”Alex hadn’t expected that offer. For a heartbeat the idea hung in the air like an open door he had never noticed.“I don’t want to become the Wudang Sect Master,” he said, flat and honest.The Sect Master’s brows drew together. “Why?”“This place is too small for me.”A ripple of outrage swept the elders. One of them shot to his feet. “How can you speak so lightly of your own sect?”Even the Sect Master looked startled. He le

    Another elder shot him a cold glare. “Do you honestly believe you could have dragged him here if he didn’t want to come?”The elders fell suddenly silent.Elder Tong’s humiliating defeat still hung fresh in everyone’s mind—a hard, painful lesson none of them could ignore. Dragging Jun Jiu anywhere against his will would not be simple. It would almost certainly cause far more trouble than any of them wanted to handle.The Sect Master nodded once, calm and unhurried. “Then tomorrow, I will go meet him myself.”Shock rippled through every elder in the room. The rule had always been ironclad: when the Sect Master called, disciples came running and bowed low. Never— not once in the long history of the sect—had the Sect Master gone to a disciple after being refused.“That damn disciple,” one elder snarled. “Why don’t we punish him and force him to come?”“That is also an option,” the Sect Master said evenly. “But to do it, you would need to take your own disciples and go there yourselves.

    “Jun Jiu,” Li Qingxue called out, her voice sharp against the quiet morning air.Alex stepped from the doorway of his small, thatched hut, blinking in the sunlight. “Yes?”“The Sect Master wants to see you. Come with me.”A ripple of shock passed through the thousand herb disciples gathered nearby. The Sect Master rarely summoned anyone, least of all an outer disciple like Jun Jiu. Heads turned.Whispers spread like wind through dry grass. Not just anyone earned a personal audience with the man who ruled the entire mountains.Alex’s face hardened.“No.” He turned on his heel and started back inside. “I don’t want to meet anyone. I want to go home—to Xia.”The silence that followed was absolute. Li Qingxue’s eyes widened. The disciples stared, mouths half-open.An outer disciple refusing the Sect Master? It was unthinkable.“Jun Jiu,” Li Qingxue said, her tone dropping to ice. She stepped closer, cold eyes locked on his. “Just because you climbed to first place on every peak doesn’t giv

    Alex felt the surge of power settle deep within him as he broke through to the first stage of Foundation Establishment.The metal element coursed through his meridians like liquid steel, sharp and unyielding, born from the long hours of enlightenment.The knowledge had flooded him, reshaping everything he thought he knew about combat and cultivation.He opened his eyes and scanned the plaza.Dozens of outer disciples stared at him in open-mouthed awe, their faces frozen between disbelief and reverence.But Alex had no time for their stares. He did not care what they thought of him.Without a word, he flicked his wrist and hurled the white sword skyward. It spun once, then hung motionless in the air, humming with quiet power.In one fluid motion he leaped, landing lightly on its flat blade.“Go,” he said.The sword shot forward like an arrow released from a bow, carrying him high above the peaks in a streak of white light.Gasps rippled through the crowd. Shock turned to frenzy. A handf
