The snow had lightened to a sparse drizzle by the time Sebastian alighted a black sedan. He had used an inconspicuous boat to arrive at the dock discreetly, avoiding unwanted attention. From the docks, he took a cab to Leaf District, a bustling area closest to the port. After getting out, he walked briskly yet purposefully toward the next bus stop, where he would take another cab. He was still exhausted from the long journey. But he didn't want to delay meeting his fiancée any longer. He was about to cross an intersection when a loud roaring engine sound suddenly broke the silence. He looked up and saw a sleek red sports car speeding towards him, its tyres screaming against the wet asphalt. It was heading straight for him, and there was no time to jump aside. The red sports car closed the distance in a breath! Sebastian’s body moved. He stretched out his palms and crushed the hood of the sports car. The force of the impact immediately shot up his arms, straining his i

Amelia froze, her eyes widening in disbelief.“Fiancé?”She stared at Sebastian as if he were the world’s cruelest joke.“Him?”"Yes", Henry replied firmly, “This marriage was arranged by me and Sebastian’s father many years ago.”“No.” Amelia’s voice was resolute. “I will never marry him. This engagement must be called off.”Henry’s expression hardened. “This is not open for discussion.”“Why not?!” Amelia snapped, her chest rising with barely contained fury. “I am the CEO of Rose Corporation. I built everything I have with my own hands. And now you want me to marry some random soldier I’ve never even met?”Henry slammed his cane against the floor.Bang!“Nonsense! You will marry Sebastian!”Amelia clenched her fists tightly.“Grandpa, there are countless outstanding men in Cloud City. Why him?!”“Because he is more capable than all the so-called outstanding young men in Cloud City combined.”Amelia almost laughed out loud. A mere soldier was more capable than what all the wealthy f

The Nine Dragons Pavilion stood proudly at the center of Cloud City. Golden lights illuminated the massive black-and-gold building while luxury vehicles continuously flowed in and out of the grand entrance. Numerous luxurious cars worth millions filled the driveway, making the entire place look more like a gathering point for royalty than a hotel. Nine enormous marble dragon statues coiled around the towering exterior pillars, radiating majesty and wealth. Amelia and Lisa stood near the entrance as snow drifted lightly around them. Even someone as composed as Amelia could not help but feel slightly restrained by the overwhelming luxury surrounding her. “This place is even more luxurious than I imagined,” Lisa muttered while looking around excitedly. Amelia’s gaze swept across the magnificent building. The Nine Dragons Pavilion was the most prestigious hotel in Cloud City—a symbol of status. Ordinary wealthy people were not even qualified to reserve seats here. At that momen

The lobby fell silent for a brief moment, then laughter exploded everywhere.“Hahaha!”“Did you hear that?”“This guy has to be delusional. There’s no other explanation for his words.”“I’ve never seen such a brazen fool before. Who does this guy think he is?”The guests in the lobby started mocking Sebastian. They felt he had run mad and had no idea what he was saying. Some of them were looking at him like he was a lunatic with some incurable mental illness while others simply shook their heads in pity.Cameron laughed the loudest out of everyone. He even bent slightly from laughing too hard. He didn’t know that Amelia’s fiancé was such a lunatic.He was the heir to the wealthy Vance Group. How could a lowly soldier cause any trouble for him?“You? A nobody like you thinks I’ll be in trouble?” Cameron pointed at Sebastian like he had just heard the greatest joke in his life. “This guy is so shameless! I didn’t know he was such a lunatic.” Lisa folded her arms and scoffed openly.Amel

The moment those words were uttered, Isaac Rutherford’s face turned deathly pale, and a terrifying pressure instantly erupted from him, making the surrounding executives tremble in fear. ‘Someone offended Mr. Helios at the Nine Dragons Pavilion?’ ‘But I gave him the Heavenly Dragon Card!’ Isaac’s scalp went numb immediately. If Sebastian were angered, there was no telling what would happen! “Mr. Helios, please don’t be angry! I will handle this right away!” “You have five minutes.” Sebastian replied coldly and hung up. “You even know how to put on an act now.” Boyd laughed, then his expression became vicious again. “You almost fooled me.” “Are you done with your fake call?" Cameron sneered. How could someone like Sebastian possibly know someone like Isaac Rutherford? He had nearly scared himself stupid for nothing. He pointed directly at Sebastian. “Throw him out immediately!” Just as the guards moved to throw Sebastian out, the sharp sound of high heels suddenly ec
