Clara chuckled softly when she saw that Alex’s calm demeanor had not changed at all.Not long after, the Cia family ambulance truly arrived. Their private doctor hurried out, but when he saw that the Young Master’s condition was already stable, his face filled with shock.Several guards repeatedly glanced toward Alex, but he had already walked away with Clara.*They finally crossed the street and entered the restaurant Clara had pointed out earlier.The interior felt warm. Yellowish lights hung low from the ceiling. The aroma of herbal soup and roasted meat slowly filled the room.Clara sat across from Alex.“You don’t even look tired,” she said while pouring tea.“I only used Qi as much as necessary,” Alex replied casually.Soon the food arrived. They ate simply. There was not much conversation. From time to time Clara watched Alex, who seemed to be thinking.“Thinking about something?” she asked softly.“About Auriel’s matter,” Alex answered briefly. “And the demonic aura we felt y

The atmosphere inside the shop grew even quieter.Some customers began pretending to browse for medicine, but it was obvious their ears were listening closely to the conversation.Roy now looked at Alex with a crooked smile.“What? Silent?”He laughed mockingly.“If you’re really the man Clara is proud of, at least show a little ability.”Clara let out a small sigh, clearly already bored. But Roy, still unsatisfied, had no intention of stopping.He stepped one step closer to Alex.“How about we play a little game?”Alex remained standing calmly. His gaze did not change at all.That made Roy raise his chin arrogantly.“A contest of wealth.”Those words made several employees glance at one another.Roy immediately continued in a mocking tone.“Buy whatever you can afford in this shop. I’ll pay double.”He patted the chest of his suit.“So you can understand… what the difference in class means.”Candra and Lori truly wanted to laugh now. But Alex didn’t even look at Roy. He simply walked

“How is that possible?!”Panicked whispers immediately filled the entire store.Some customers even stepped back unconsciously, as if the number on the screen itself carried a terrifying pressure.Two quadrillion. That was not merely rich. That was an amount even the great families of Sky Phoenix Province did not possess.The female employee holding the machine could barely stand. Her hands trembled violently.“T-two quadrillion… three hundred forty-seven trillion…”She could barely read the number aloud. Her voice almost failed to come out.On the other side…Roy was still standing in front of the machine. But his face had completely lost all color.His eyes remained fixed on the screen. His body was stiff like a machine that had suddenly shut down. Even his brain refused to process what he had just seen.Then slowly, his hand clenched into a fist. The veins on his forehead began to show.“No…”The word came out quietly. Then louder.“No!”He suddenly turned to stare at Alex with red

Nanda was still kneeling on the floor.His hand pressed against his cheek, which was still burning from the slap earlier. Yet the pain meant nothing compared to the cold chill now creeping down his spine.His mind finally began to piece together fragments of information he had only heard in passing before.His sister, Cia Ren… had recently taken an adopted elder brother. A man who had saved her life. His name was Alex. And the young man now standing casually in front of him… was that very person.Nanda’s face instantly turned pale. His entire body stiffened.He slowly turned his head back toward Alex. The gaze that had once been filled with arrogance had now clearly turned into fear.Meanwhile, Roy beside him began to feel that something was very wrong.“Y-young lady… he…?”But Cia Ren did not even look at him. Her gaze remained fixed on Alex. The room was still silent like a graveyard. Several shop employees did not even dare to breathe too loudly.Nanda finally moved. He swallowed h

The roar from the head of the Saw family instantly made the atmosphere at the entrance tense.The guests who were lining up immediately turned their heads. Some even began whispering among themselves.After all, it wasn’t every day they saw the head of a major family getting angry in public.However, the security staff remained where they were standing. Their faces were slightly pale, but they didn’t dare step back.“Sir… we are only following orders.”The atmosphere grew even hotter.At that moment, a calm voice was heard from inside the building.“There’s no need to make a scene.”Everyone immediately turned around. The sound of leather shoes echoed clearly across the marble floor.Han Yi walked out from the main entrance with a composed demeanor. His black suit looked perfectly neat, and several personal bodyguards followed behind him.His gaze swept across the crowd briefly, then stopped on Alex. Yet his expression remained indifferent.“Head of the Saw family,” he said lightly.“
