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 meet someone named Sophia Lancaster at this address," Alex’s patience wearing thin.
"I’m not looking for you. So, if you can help me out, call her, and I’ll leave as soon as possible."
WTF?!
Sophia paused, her expression shifting from shock to realization.
"Wait... you're here for that Sophia Lancaster?"
Alex coldly replied.
"Yes! Can you please just get her? I don't have time for games."
Sophia bit her lip, trying to mask the confusion swirling inside her.
"There’s no need to call anyone. I’m... I’m Sophia Lancaster."
They stood there, staring at each other in stunned silence.
Just then, a voice called out from inside the mansion.
"Alexander Leonhart!"
An old man stepped out, his face lighting up with a wide smile.
"Master told me you would come today! What are you doing out there?"
"Grandfather," Sophia called.
The old man, Abraham Lancaster, turned towards them, his eyes twinkling with amusement.
He looked between them, his smile growing even wider as if he had been waiting for this moment.
"So, you've met Alex, your fiancé. It’s great to know you both know each other."
Sophia quickly interjected, "We are not—"
"Call your parents, Sophia," Abraham said, cutting her off.
"Gather everyone in the Great Hall. I have an announcement. You both are going to get married today."
Sophia stood, shocked.
"Finally, my long-held wish can be fulfilled today," Abraham’s voice trembled with happiness.
He walked over to Alex, his hand reaching out to grasp Alex’s.
"Come, let’s go to the Great Hall. You’ll meet your in-laws."
Sophia watched them walk away, disbelief and anger surging through her.
She had lost her virginity to that man, and now she was supposed to lose her future too.
"This can't be happening!"
She had dreamed of an extraordinary fiancé, someone worthy, someone heroic, not any rubbish!
Instead, she was now being handed to a man she could have picked off the street.
As CEO of Lancaster Group, known for her beauty and bright future, how could she marry such a man?
What would people think?
"No," she decided. "I'll stop this marriage, no matter the cost."
***
In the Great Hall, Abraham guided Alex to an honored seat.
"How is Master?"
"Still healthy after a hundred years," Alex replied.
"You’re young, successful, and humble. I’m fortunate to have a grandson-in-law like you. Sophia is a good person; please give her a chance to get to know you better."
Alex nodded politely, but he doubt the possibility.
Sophia didn’t look like she wanted the chance.
"Wonderful, wonderf—" Abraham laugh joyfully.
However, just then, an angry voice cut in.
"Are you insane?! Sophia cannot marry him!"
Lady Lancaster, Abraham's wife, angrily stormed into the Great Hall.
She was flanked by their two sons and two daughters-in-law, with Sophia trailing behind them.

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
Chapter 575
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
