2024-08-21 09:43:17"Young Master, my only daughter was born sick, and now it's worse."
Alfred's eyes filled with sorrow, "She's in pain every day. I've seen every doctor, spent a fortune, tried everything—nothing helps. She's only getting worse. Please, help her. I'll do anything."
Alex gazed at him calmly.
"I'll meet your daughter tomorrow."
Alfred was stunned.
He hadn’t expected His Highness would agree to lend a helping hand so easily.
He grabbed Alex's hand, bowed in gratitude.
"Thank you, my lord!"
He whispered, his words heavy with all he felt.
Previously, Alfred hadn’t believed his luck when his leader mentioned Alex's visit to Vancouver.
Albert wasn’t entirely sure who Alex was.
However, what he was certain was even his leader must kneel before Alex!
If Alex’s was displeased, millions of lives could vanish.
But if he was satisfied, even the dying could live!
As the head of the Kingswell organization in Vancouver, Albert had heard the rumors.
About a high-ranking figure known as "God’s Hand," the disciple of the Immortal Sage.
Even the dying could be healed by his touch.
So he had done everything to ensure Alex would be satisfied.
"Young Master," Alfred asked, "I heard you’re on an important mission. Tell me how I can assist. In Vancouver, nothing is beyond your reach. If you command right, even the government won't go left."
“I do indeed need your help,” Alex said.
He had three critical tasks ahead.
"Find someone for me.”
"I don’t have a name, just a nickname. They call him ‘Jo.’ No picture either."
When he was younger, he had ended up on the streets in Vancouver, only to flee from danger.
The one with the nickname “Jo” was the person who had helped him out.
He needed to find him, and to repay the kindness he had received.
"Your wish is my command," Alfred obediently bowed.
“Is that all?”
Alex nodded.
He had two other tasks here: one was to meet his fiancée, and the other was to uncover his origin.
However, for the former, there was no need for Albert's involvement.
Regarding the latter, it could only be addressed after finding Jo.
“Young Master,” Albert began cautiously, “when a high-ranking Kingswell member visits, I’m supposed to organize a banquet, invite the city's elite, top businessmen, top actresses, politicians, and I have prepared…”
He watched Alex's face as he explained.
But when he noticed a slight furrow in Alex’s brow, he quickly adjusted.
“But since you're incognito, you’d prefer to skip the banquet, correct?”
Alex nodded with a smile.
“I’ll cancel it immediately, then,” Alfred responded immediately
“Always remember, no need for such a fuss,” Alex command.
Alfred bowed in acknowledgement.
He clearly understood why Alex needed to keep a low profile.
Alex was a man with the title of "God’s Hand."
Of the thousand patients he had ever touched, none remained uncured.
He was also the direct disciple of the Immortal Sage, who was said to be able to bring the dead back to life in the blink of an eye!
If Alex revealed his identity, people around the world would surround him and not give him any peace.
Parting with Alfred, Alex stepped out and called a taxi, giving him an address.
His had to meet with his fiancée.
His master said that woman was his fate, written in the Akashic Record, and she was also the key for Alex in finding his mother in the future.
An hour later, Alex arrived on West 4th Avenue in West Vancouver, an affluent neighborhood with ocean views, mountain backdrops, and multi-million-dollar estates.
As he reached for the gate’s bell, a luxury car pulled up.
The driver stepped out, and their eyes locked.
Both, surprised, spoke at once, "You!"
“What are you doing here?” they both exclaimed, overlapping.
Sophia’s eyes narrowed.
“Don’t tell me you’re stalking me now.”
Alex raised an eyebrow. “Stalking you? I have better things to do.”
“Of course,” Sophia shot back, arms crossed.
“I suppose you’re here to beg for money. Should’ve known you’d stoop that low.”
“Money? I don’t need your charity,” Alex retorted.
“I’m here for something more important.”
Sophia didn’t believe a single word of Alex’s.
Her voice dripped with sarcasm.
“Another scheme? Trying to marry into wealth, maybe?”
“You think I’m after your money?” Alex replied coldly. “You’re completely wrong, then. I want nothing from you.”
“Good!” Sophia snapped, her anger rising.
“Because I have nothing to give, especially not to you.”
Alex frowned.
If it wasn’t because of his help, she would have been abused by who knew whom, or even worse, died beneath a random bastard's groin.
Sophia glared at him one last time before turning on her heel and driving through the automatic iron gate, leaving Alex alone on the pavement.
He checked the address in his hand.
This was indeed his fiancée’s house, arranged by his master, the Immortal Sage.
He had no choice but to move forward and meet his fiancée.
Whether that woman was truly her or not remained unclear.
The mansion loomed before him, grand and imposing.
His fiancée could be anyone—maybe even that woman’s sister.
Thinking of how he had slept with his fiancée's sister, Alex mused with a bitter smile, “Yeah, everything just keeps getting better.”

As Alex approached the house entrance, Sophia noticed that Alex was behind her. "Haven’t you had enough?" "Believe me," Alex replied, "running into you is the last thing I wanted today." Sophia stepped out, blocking his path. "So, what is it then? Are you here to remind me of the biggest mistake of my life?" "Mistake?" Alex’s tone grew colder. "I could say the same. You think I enjoyed waking up and realizing I’d wasted my time with someone so shallow?" "Shallow?" Sophia’s eyes flashed with anger. "You’re just bitter because you know I’m right. You’re nothing but a loser, a gold-digger." Alex laughed, shaking his head. "You’re delusional. I don’t need anything from you, least of your money." Sophia stepped even closer, her finger jabbing the air between them. "Then what do you want? To ruin my life even more?" "No, I’m not here to ruin anything." Alex locked his eyes with hers. "I’m meeting my fiancée." "Your fiancée? You have a fiancée?" Sophia shocked. "I’m here to me

"Old man, how can you marry off Sophia, our greatest beauty, to that poor man? Is your brain rotten or what?" Her anger grew. "My beautiful granddaughter can never marry a lowlife. She will marry Chris Roland! He’s wealthy and powerful, and can secure our family's future." "Chris Roland?" Abraham frowned. That hypocritical playboy?"Don’t you know Jerry Roland?" Lady Lancaster snapped. "He works for Alfred Kingston, who practically owns Vancouver. Chris is his only son. Marrying him ties our family to the Kingstons!" Sophia’s parents also looked at Alex, and a dissatisfied frown crept onto their faces. Alex wore a simple shirt typically seen on people of the lower-middle class, cheap and old shoes sold on the street, nothing about him screamed wealth. If Chris Roland was the young rich man with a company, this man was probably Chris’s cleaning service, paid with the lowest salary. Thinking their daughter would marry this loser already made their anger rise to the peak. “No w

Alex shook his head and chuckled. He knew Sophia despised him."Sophia, let me show y—" He wanted to let Sophia see the real him a bit, but she turned her back to him and walked to the parking lot. A white four-seat Porsche Panamera pulled up and stopped in front of them. A stunning young woman stepped out of the car with effortless grace, her elegant dress and sparkling jewelry enhancing her high-fashion allure. "Sophia," she hugged Sophia."Lyra, thanks for coming," Sophia replied joyfully. "I came as soon as I could when I got your text." Lyra smiled while eyeing Alex from head to toe and shook her head. Not a single item of value detected from head to toe. Apart from being a bit handsome and having a somewhat fitting body, this man was totally worthless. When Sophia texted her and told her that she was forced to marry a loser and needed a helping hand, she had thought Sophia was exaggerating. But seeing Alex in person made her realize how unlucky Sophia was. Most of So

Alex took out his smartphone and pressed the fast call number 9. “Good day, Mr. Leonhart. I am Julia, your First Royal Mastercard personal concierge. How may I assist you?” “Do you know where I am right now?” “Yes, your card has GPS. You are at Vancouver’s Noble Knight Club.” “I want to become a member.” “We are processing that now. You can use your Mastercard as the membership card,” Julia replied. The glass door suddenly opened. “Your membership has been approved. Do you need anything else, sir?” “No, thank you.” Alex put his smartphone in his pocket and walked into the club. The guard hurriedly blocked his path. “I think the system made an error. You cannot enter.” “I am a member here,” Alex explained. “Why do you think the system let me in?” The guard was confused but asked again, “Do you have a membership card? I want to check it. If you don’t have one, please leave.” Alex took out his First Royal Mastercard. The guard had never seen this kind of card before. “Sir

Chris said with a smirk, "I doubt you have ever played this kind of game."Chris was confident that only wealthy men could afford such expensive toys, and Alex definitely didn't look like he could."There’s a first time for everything, right?" Alex shrugged casually.Chris laughed with contempt.It looked like victory were already assured.He touched his smartwrist, and a 3D hologram of a big mansion appeared."This mansion in West Vancouver is mine.

When the system declared Alex the winner, the entire hall fell into stunned silence.They couldn’t believe their ears or eyes."How can a loser who barely knows the game win?" someone blurted out.Shock rippled through the room. Everyone had expected Alex to lose.After all, Chris was the highest-ranked player in Vancouver!How could a newbie win him? Impossible!"There must be a mistake, right?" another person muttered.As Alex exited the room, with Michelle following him, people noticed something unusual—his gaming suit.It’s the latest, most expensive gaming suit, equipped with AI assistance.A newbie could become a master by activating the AI. Originally designed for military use in war, it’s now a game-changer in the virtual world.Seeing that super expensive gaming suit for the first time, their surprise quickly turned to anger."You cheated!

What the fuck?!!!"Here comes the king of braggarts again! Can’t you just stop boasting?" Sophia scoffed. "You’re only embarrassing yourself!"One of Chris's friends called out, “Hey dude, the banquet’s off. Know why? Because I wasn't invited, so they cancelled the whole thing.”His tone was so amusing that everyone burst out laughing.He sneered at Alex, “Boo! Shame on you, man! Trying to act like you know something.”“Listen, Alex, whatever you’re trying to pull, we’re not buying it,” Lyra said.Alex knew hardly anyone would believe him, but he tried to tell his wife anyway. It was up to her whether to believe him or not.Suddenly, Chris’s smart wrist device buzzed.“Hey, silence please,” Chris asked the group and shot a smug look at Alex. “My dad’s calling. Probably about the banquet.”The room went quiet as Chris switched on the speaker.They pricked up their ears to the latest news of the banquet while looking at Alex with a sarcastic expression.“Father,” Chris said politely, “I’

However, before Alex replied, his phone rang suddenly, catching everyone’s attention. He glanced at the screen and moved to a corner to take the call.A few others glanced over, and one burst into laughter."You guys won’t believe this,” someone said, chuckling. “That dude’s trying to scam all of us. Guess who just called him? Alfred Kingston! Can you believe that?”“For real? He went that far? Thank God we know he's just a king of scum.”Alex answered the call, his voice low and serious.“I’m sorry to disturb you, young master. My daughter's condition suddenly worsened,” Alfred Kingston’s desperate voice came through the speaker.“I don’t know what else to do except to ask for your help,” the voice continued, trembling with worry. “Pick me up. I’m at the Noble Knight Club.”“Yes, sure! Thank you very much, young master. I really appreciate your kindness. I’ll send someone to pick you up right now.”Alex ended the call and turned to Michelle.“I’m sorry, but I have to decline your in

“Jericho Kane? What does he want with the Heaven Root?” Alex asked.“I heard his daughter’s suffering from a rare genetic heart condition, and he thinks the Heaven Root can save her,” Kelly explained, glancing at Alex.“Bella Kane?” Alex repeated.“Yes,” Kelly confirmed.Alex let out a weary sigh. He imagined Bella hiding her pain beneath an elegant façade. No wonder Jericho Kane spoiled her every whim and excused her worst habits.“Alex, how should we handle this?” Kelly asked, her tone unsettled by the news.“I’ve got to get my hands on that Heaven Root,” Alex declared without hesitation.“There’s no time to waste. I’ll head to Vermont today.”He stepped outside the clinic and was stunned to see a group of homeless men clashing with two brutish thugs lugging a drum.The looks on those thugs’ faces made it clear they were up to no good.“What’s going on here?” Alex demanded.“Doc, these two louts were about to pour oil around the clinic,” one of the homeless men said.“We figure they

“Finally, Owen is here!” Bella let out a delighted laugh, her eyes shining with relief.“Bella! Scarlett! Are you alright?” The tall, broad-shouldered man rushed toward them, completely ignoring Alex as though he were invisible.He stood with a commanding presence, sharp-eyed and radiating an unmistakable air of nobility that set him apart from common folk.“We’re fine,” Bella answered, her voice bright with gratitude, “all thanks to Alex, who saved us.”“Oh, really?” Owen Whitman’s tone dripped with skepticism as he raked his gaze over Alex.“Bella, a man’s face doesn’t reveal his true character. You’d do well to steer clear of strangers.”Suddenly, Owen’s expression twisted. “Wait. I know you—aren’t you the Alex who had the nerve to slap Bella?”His eyes blazed with fury. “I’ve been searching everywhere for you after what you did to her.”Bella darted between Owen and Alex, her movements frantic.“Owen, stop it! It was my fault, and we’ve settled it already. My father forgave the wh

A thunderous crash split the air as the glass doors of the center were smashed in, shards spraying across the floor.Without hesitation, ten masked assassins swept inside.“Damn it, they caught up to us!” Scarlett spat. They had been ambushed along the way to the slums, where their entire security detail was wiped out.Only she and Bella survived and managed to escape—or so they thought.The assassins refused to let them go.“Bella, I’ll hold them off,” Scarlett hissed. “You have to get out through the back door.”Bella’s face had gone pale. “If I run, you’ll definitely be killed. I’m their main target, so they won’t harm me. Let me be their hostage.”“Bella, I’m your bodyguard,” Scarlett said, planting herself in front of Bella with grim resolve.“My job is to protect you—so do as I say.”A cold, ragged voice interrupted them.“No need to argue. This place has no back door—you’re not going anywhere. We’ll be taking both of you.”A middle-aged man with a scarred face stepped in, laugh

The days that followed felt eerily calm, the kind of hush that settles after a tempest.Jasmine Kingston’s iron will now reigned over the streets of Vancouver.Under her genius leadership, the city rose to unprecedented heights, surpassing anything it had witnessed before.Alfred Kingston held sway over the sprawling metropolis of Los Angeles.Even Kelly had carved out her domain in the rugged territory of Vermont.Though her claim was recent and largely untested, the backing from both Vancouver and L.A. was enough to keep any potential challengers at bay.Guided by the Kingston family’s teachings, Kelly’s skills blossomed with startling speed, like a flower flourishing under a midday sun.During that time, Alex had transformed a decrepit building at the edge of a slum into a humble clinic—and a refuge from the world.He kept his true identity concealed, operating the clinic for a mere two or three hours each day to provide free treatment to those who had nowhere else to go, particula

“Pardon me, folks—out of the room, now. The patient needs quiet if she’s going to heal.”The nurse herded them into the corridor, her heels clicking like a judge’s gavel announcing adjournment.Instead of dispersing, they clustered beneath the fluorescent lights, still reeling from the bombshell that had just gone off in their lives.“Can you believe it? Alex, of all people, is the Lancaster Group’s silent bankroll!” Jack’s uncle whispered, voice rough with intrigue.“Think the guy’s hiding some secret pedigree?”“Alex?” Florence scoffed.“I dug through every record—he’s a nobody. Sure, he did a stint in the military, which makes him tough enough to hit Bella, but besides that he’s an orphan with empty pockets.”Heads nodded; the story was too tidy to question.One of the family suddenly asked, “Why are all of you looking down on Alex?”“Looking down on him?” Florence laughed.“Impossible. We simply don’t care about him. We’re not heartless. We don’t prejudge people. Even if he’s poor

“I’ve made everything crystal clear, haven’t I? But since when have you ever trusted a single word out of my mouth?” Alex snapped.“You should’ve laid it all out for me, at the very least! How am I supposed to believe you when you never treat anything with real seriousness?” Sophia fired back, her anger seething.“So it’s my fault again,” Alex muttered, feeling a wave of exhaustion wash over him.“I’m always in the wrong, no matter what I do. And you? You’re forever right. Fine. Have it your way—you’re right.”“Of course I’m right,” Sophia retorted in a sharp burst, then instantly regretted her words.“I’m done caring,” Alex growled, jerking his arm away from her grip with deliberate force.“We’re finished here. Let go of me.”His eyes bore into her as though she was a complete stranger.No—she was staring at a man who’d been pushed too far, who’d had enough.She sensed that if she let him go, he might never return to her side again.“What do you want from me, Alex? Can’t you quit act

“Alex, why? Why are you so hell-bent on being this stubborn? Can’t you just apologize?”Sophia demanded, her voice trembling as disappointment flooded her eyes.She couldn’t fathom how that once boastful man had sunk so low—raising his hand against Bella, locking himself behind narrow-minded walls, brimming with jealousy, and repaying kindness with cruelty.Just an apology—how hard can it be?Sophia yearned for that slap to jolt him awake.“Sink into the darkness, Alex. Taste the agony that I’ve endured!” Charles whispered, almost lovingly, as his eyes drank in the chaos with sickening delight.There was a twisted satisfaction blooming in his chest—a vile warmth—watching them unravel, watching their faces twist in pain.Misery was his playground.And seeing others drown in it? That was the only thing that made him feel alive.He’d had to bleed a little to make his act convincing, but seeing Sophia strike Alex made triumph coil in his chest.“That was a masterpiece of a slap!

The instant Clara ended her tale, Alex went rigid, rooted to the floor.He hadn’t expected her to flip the entire narrative in front of everyone and leave him hanging like a thief caught red‑handed.“Did you all hear that?” Florence screeched, her voice slicing through the ballroom chatter.“There it is—the naked truth! Let’s see you wriggle out of this one, Alex!”“Ungrateful doesn’t even begin to cover it,” she piled on.“You twist kindness into poison and spit it back at the people who saved you. Utterly shameless.”The Lancasters hissed and spat, recoiling as if he carried a plague.Their eyes drilled holes in him, seething with contempt.Tears streaked down Clara’s cheeks. “I’m sorry, everyone. I didn’t want to end up dead at Bella’s hands, so I hid the bracelet in Sophia’s bag. I did it to survive—because Bella’s real target is Alex. I’m sorry.”Florence swooped in, wrapping an arm around Clara. “Don’t worry, dear. We understand. This all started because of Alex. Sophia will for

“Mom, what the hell’s going on?”Sophia asked, her voice shaky as she looked at Florence with wide, uncertain eyes.Florence edged closer and perched on the bed, fixing Sophia with a wary gaze.“Listen, Sophia. Bella Kane attacked you, remember? Then the Kanes sent their goons to tear down our companies. Charles promised to help us out this mess, but only if I agreed to let him marry you.”“Mom—” Sophia began.“Sophia, hush,” Florence said with a pointed smile.“We’re talking about Charles Kingston here, the top dog in Vancouver, practically royalty. You couldn’t snag a better husband if you tried. You’re divorced now, and sooner or later, you’ll have to marry again. I want grandkids, and I want them from the best stock.”“Mom…” Sophia tried to speak, but Florence cut her off.“I already gave Charles my word. Your uncles are all in on it. Every single one of them wants you to marry Charles to cement an alliance between the Lancaster and Kingston families.”“The Lancaster Group board a
