"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.”

    This was no longer a simple fight.“We’re defending ourselves!” one of the fatties shouted back, voice trembling but defiant. “You were the ones who attacked us first!”“Doesn’t matter,” the burly man sneered. “We are the Servants’ Discipline Department. No one will listen to your excuses. The elders will stand with us.”His words hung heavy in the air.Authority. Power. Influence.They weren’t just facing swords.They were facing the weight of the entire hierarchy.Alex’s iron wok came down one last time.The final standing member of the second wave from the Servants’ Discipline Department crumpled to the ground. Silence followed—broken only by groans and the scrape of bodies shifting in pain.Alex turned to First Fatty, breathing steady, eyes sharp.“How many people are there in total in the Servants’ Discipline Department?”First Fatty hesitated, then answered, “About a hundred.”“A hundred?” the burly man barked from the ground, blood running down his mouth as he forced himself up

    One of the Servants’ Discipline members broke and ran away the second the fatties charged.“You think I’m scared of you?” the burly enforcer roared, barreling forward with reckless confidence.Alex didn’t flinch.He had already studied the man’s stance, his breathing, the slight weakness in his guard. The iron wok in Alex’s hand cut through the air and smashed straight into the man’s face with a brutal crack.Even a Ninth Level Qi Condensation expert had once fallen to Alex when he had no inner force at all.Now?Now he stood at the Fifth Level of Qi Condensation. With inner force surging through his meridians, he was on an entirely different plane. Against these men, he was practically untouchable.It took only seconds.The fatties and the Servants’ Discipline members clashed head-on, their strengths nearly equal at first glance. But while they struggled, Alex moved like a blade through water—precise, merciless, unstoppable.One by one, he took them down.A wrist shattered.A knee bu

    First Fatty stepped forward without hesitation. The other seven fatties moved with him, forming a solid wall in front of Alex.First Fatty rolled his shoulders and let out a thunderous laugh.“I was wondering why I heard dogs barking just now,” he roared, his voice shaking the rafters. He stood there like a mountain—broad, unmovable, towering over the rest. “Turns out a pack of mutts from the Servants’ Discipline Department came to make noise in our Kitchen.”Across from them stood twenty men clustered around Wang Junhao. They wore servant uniforms, but their sleeves were embroidered with a bold character—“Discipline.” It gleamed like a badge of authority.They weren’t ordinary servants. They carried themselves with the smug confidence of men used to power.One of them stepped forward. He was built like a tiger and thick as a bear. The air around him trembled faintly—fifth level of Qi Condensation. His presence pressed down like a stone.“Other people might fear the Kitchen,” he said

    When the Fatty brothers discovered that Alex had locked himself in cultivation, they made a quiet decision.They would not disturb him.They prepared food pills for him every day. They even set aside rare herbs so he could cultivate in peace. Whatever he needed, they supplied it without complaint.By now, the Fatty brothers had mastered the new recipes for the improved food pills. They could even use the leftovers to refine additional pills on their own. They no longer depended on Alex.On top of that, they had just won nearly a hundred new servants and a large amount of money. Their days were filled with managing people, counting profits, and securing their new position. They were busy building their own future.The least they could do for Alex was give him silence and space.One month passed.Inside his room, Alex could feel it clearly—his cultivation rising from the First Level of Qi Condensation to the Second.The energy inside his body grew denser. Sharper. More controlled.“Nint

    On the platform, after defeating Chen Liong, Alex swayed once—then his body gave out.Every muscle in him had reached its limit. His arms trembled uncontrollably. His chest burned as if it had been torn open from the inside.Pain screamed through his bones. He had pushed himself far beyond what his body could endure.Then everything went black.Eight Fatty reacted instantly. He rushed forward, grabbed Alex before he could collapse to the floor, and supported his weight with both arms.Carefully—almost urgently—he pulled Alex away from the center, shielding him from the eyes of the crowd.The other Fatty brothers hurried over and gathered around Eight Fatty and Alex, their faces tight with worry.“Don’t tell me he died dramatically and left us some legendary inheritance,” Fourth Fatty blurted out, eyes wide.“Shut your mouth,” Third Fatty snapped, smacking him on the back of the head. “Don’t curse him, you idiot. He’s not dead.”He leaned closer, listening carefully.“…He’s snoring.”T

    More and more people who had already lost everything—stripped down to nothing but their underwear—suddenly chose recklessness over caution.They sat on the cold stone steps, eyes bloodshot, voices hoarse, and shouted in unison, “I bet my life!”They knew exactly who Chen Liong was.The true leader of the Dragon Group.One of the strongest Outer Disciples.A man whose name alone was supposed to guarantee victory.Those who had hesitated before now looked from Alex to Chen Liong, their doubt melting away. In their minds, this fight had only one ending.They rushed forward, throwing in the last scraps of what they owned—rings, tokens, spiritual stones, even the clothes off their backs.They bet everything.Chen Liong looked down at Alex as if he were examining dirt on his shoe.“You, servant,” he said coldly, his voice carrying across the platform. “From this moment on, you will serve the Dragon Group.”Alex lifted his chin and met his gaze without flinching.“No,” he replied calmly.He
