"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.”

The war room’s doors opened without ceremony. Li Qingxue stepped inside, white robes streaked with road dust, her breathing controlled but tight. She bowed once, sharp and precise.“Young Sect Master. Urgent news from the Murim Alliance.”Alex did not turn. “Speak.”“They have declared Wudang an enemy of the righteous sects. Five days. Surrender the sect and its assets, or their combined forces march on our halls.”The words landed like stones in still water. Alex’s eyes were calm, almost cold.“Good. They finally moved.”He shifted his attention to the man waiting on the far side of the map.Zhuge Liang stood with his usual stillness, hands clasped behind his back, the faint lines at the corners of his eyes the only sign he had absorbed every word.“Zhuge Liang. My orders.”“Yes, Prime Minister.”“First, the two provinces still clinging to the Yellow Turbans. Send our most reliable high-ranking officers—those whose loyalty is beyond question. They shall enter as the new governors. Pr

The night air in the ruined courtyard still carried the sharp tang of smoke and blood. Li Tianlong stood rigid, his sword lowered but his eyes burning with the kind of fury that could ignite cities. His voice cracked across the open space.“If you do this, you are no longer human. How can you drag my entire family into your games?”Alex met his gaze without blinking. “I gave you a chance once. I am giving you another. Choose. Friend or enemy. But choose quickly.”“I serve only Emperor Liu Jian,” Li Tianlong spat. “The true son of the dragon. Not your puppet boy from the provinces.”Alex nodded once, a small, cold movement. “Liu Piao. Kill the emperor.”The fat Wudang disciple holding the bound false emperor tightened his grip. Liu Jian’s eyes widened in sudden terror as Liu Piao drew his blade in one smooth motion, the steel singing as it cleared the sheath.“Wait!” Li Tianlong roared.But Lu Piao had already driven his sword straight into the Emperor's heart. The blade erupted from

The morning after the Namgung compound burned, fear spread through the empire faster than any messenger could ride.In teahouses and sect halls from the northern passes to the southern deltas, men spoke in hushed voices over cooling tea.The Namgung family—one of the five great pillars of the Murim Alliance—had been erased in a single night. Their ancestral halls reduced to ash. Their disciples scattered or dead.Their legendary patriarch, Namgung Hyuk, gone without a trace. No one knew who had struck or how.Only that the attack had been swift, silent, and absolute. For generations, no one had dared raise a hand against that name. Now the name itself felt like a curse.In the great hall of the Prime Minister’s pavilion in Changyi, Alex stood at the long map table, fingers tapping once against the dark wood. Zhuge Liang waited opposite him, calm and precise as always.“Yuan Shao is moving,” Alex said. “He sent the Murim Alliance after me. What do you think?”Zhuge Liang inclined his h

Alex stood in the rubble, blood dripping from his split lip onto the broken stone. His left arm hung useless at his side, the bones shattered from Namgung Hyuk’s earlier blow.He ignored it. Pain was a luxury he could not afford. He raised his good hand.“Attack now!”Feng Taiyi charged forward without hesitation, pouring every ounce of his strength into the assault. But Namgung Hyuk was older and stronger.“You will never win,” Namgung Hyuk sneered.The two Nascent Soul masters collided high in the dark sky. Their swords clashed with explosive force, sending streaks of sword light flashing like silver lightning weaving through turbulent storm clouds.Then, without warning, five thousand Wudang disciples emerged in perfect unison. They appeared on every rooftop, in every shadowed courtyard, and from every hidden vantage point surrounding the Prime Minister’s pavilion. A sea of white robes rippled as one, silent and disciplined, like an avalanche ready to descend.They had been waiting

The impact came like a thunderclap.Namgung Hyuk’s fist drove forward, qi roaring around his knuckles in a spiraling vortex of raw power. The air itself seemed to tear. Alex met it head-on, feet planted, every muscle braced.The collision exploded outward in a shockwave that cracked stone and sent dust billowing across the ruined courtyard.Alex’s body left the ground.He flew backward through the night air, a white-robed figure hurled like a broken doll. One hundred meters. His back slammed into the side of a half-collapsed building with a sound like splitting timber.Ribs screamed. His left arm hung useless, bones shattered inside the sleeve. Blood filled his mouth. For a heartbeat the world went gray at the edges.But he did not fall.He slid down the wall, boots finding purchase on broken masonry, and stayed upright. The five-element core inside him burned steady and deep, a foundation that had once carried him all the way to the first stage of Nascent Soul before he deliberately

Alex met his gaze without flinching.“I stole the original Prussian designs,” he said. “Then I gathered the brightest minds Xia has—many of them from Wudang itself—and we reverse-engineered every component. The drones that now guard these provinces were built here, by Xia’s people, using Xia’s resources. They watch our borders. They help our farmers. Tell me why I should not use tools that protect our people.”Namgung’s face darkened to a deep, furious red. His knuckles whitened around the hilt of his sword.“That is evil Prussian technology,” he snarled. “How can you bring it into Xia and call it your own?”The old master’s qi began to rise again, thick and heavy, pressing down on the ruined courtyard like a coming storm.Alex took one deliberate step forward. His voice remained calm, clear, and unafraid.“Old man, if these technologies can help the people of Xia—better harvests, safer lives, food on every table—why shouldn’t I use them for our people’s good?”Namgung’s mouth opened,
