The air inside the room turned icy once again. More than ten elite guards surrounded Alex from every direction.Their energy spears trembled, ready to be released at any moment.The pressure they emitted was enough to crush a mid–Body Integration cultivator in a single wave of attack.Luke could only swallow hard. Cold sweat flowed down his temples. This was no longer a small misunderstanding. This was how the Acker family carried out executions.Silva stood at the front.Her gaze was completely cold.“Do you have any last words?”Alex did not answer. He simply took a slow breath. A ripple of pressure spread throughout the room.Yet…Alex still stood there casually. His face even looked slightly bored. At last, he spoke.“What an untrustworthy family…”One of the guards stepped forward.“How dare you belittle the Acker family!”Their energies began to resonate. If released together, this room would likely be destroyed.Silva raised her hand. The final signal to execute.“Do it.”The

Silva’s gaze sharpened again. The elders in the corner of the room also began observing Alex more seriously.It was true. From the beginning, not a single ripple of Qi had come from the young man’s body. As if he were truly an ordinary person.Alex looked at Silva calmly.“Because if you could sense it… that would mean I’m not strong enough yet.”That sentence made one of the elders twitch in annoyance. Silva could only narrow her eyes.“Hey… don’t be so arrogant!”Arrogant? Or simply stating a fact?Alex did not wait for any response.“It would be best if all of you step back three steps.”“What?” one of the doctors exclaimed.“If not, you will interfere with this very crucial and dangerous healing process.”His tone remained low. Yet, for some reason, everyone unconsciously retreated.However, Silva remained standing beside the bed.“I will not leave.”Alex did not mind. He sat down again. His hand slowly rose.This time, his Qi finally flowed out of his body. It was not oppressive

Luke fell silent. Even the residence guards standing along the courtyard widened their eyes, almost choking on their own breath.Marriage? That was Miss Silva Acker. The only daughter of the ruler of Sky Phoenix Province.The woman fought over by the young masters of great families. The girl whose single smile could make the city’s elites bow their heads.And she had just proposed marriage. The air seemed to freeze. Yet Alex only looked at her calmly. There was no surprise. No joy. Not even the slightest change in his expression.That made Silva narrow her eyes.“Your answer?” she asked coldly.Alex looked straight into her eyes.“I refuse.”The words fell just like that. Simple, firm, and without hesitation. As if he had just declined a cup of tea, not a proposal from the most desired woman in the province.The atmosphere instantly became deathly silent. Even the sound of the fountain in the courtyard seemed clearer.Luke froze. The guards stared at Alex as if they were looking at so

“How about this—what if I really can cure him? Wouldn’t it be possible for you to feel the benefits as well?”Luke fell silent. His gaze seemed to weigh several choices. The afternoon wind blew gently, making his hair and leather jacket flutter lightly.“Young Master… if you truly can heal him… then it won’t be only the Acker family that will owe you a debt of gratitude.”Alex looked at him indifferently.“I’m not looking for gratitude.”There was a brief silence.“I just don’t like seeing someone who should stand at the peak… forced to kneel by illness. And I only need a small helping hand from him, so that the Han family will truly feel despair.”The words were simple. Yet for some reason, Luke felt an invisible pressure that seemed destined to shake the entire Sky Phoenix Province.He took a deep breath.“Alright.”His gang members exchanged glances.“Boss… the Acker family’s territory isn’t a place just anyone can enter…” one of his subordinates whispered.Luke raised his hand, te

Candra’s voice was truly trembling. Clara quickly turned to look at Alex. Meanwhile, Alex only smiled faintly.“Why? You sound like you’ve seen a ghost.”“Sir, I don’t know what you’re thinking… but I will still help you until my last breath.”“There’s no need to say that.”“Oh, right, Sir… Mr. Lori, is it true that you allowed him to join us?”“Is there a problem with that?”“Of course not, Sir… I’ve personally heard the reputation of this former Dragon King. With Lori joining us, our strength… can already be considered a rival to the Emperor of this nation.”“That’s only what they know.”There was silence for a few seconds. Then Candra’s voice was heard again, now much more respectful.“In that case… is there any other task?”Alex looked toward the horizon.“No. Just prepare everything according to what I said earlier.”The call ended immediately. Clara was still standing there.“You’re really going to start soon?”Alex handed her phone back.“They started it. I must end it… They’re

Clara froze.“W-What?!”Her face instantly turned red. Her beautiful eyes widened as she stared at Alex, who spoke as if he were only asking for a cup of tea.Alex glanced at her. His faint smile softened into something warm.“As my wife, shouldn’t you serve me?”Clara was silent for two seconds.Then—BAM!A light punch landed on Alex’s arm.“You’re really annoying!”Yet behind her irritated tone, there was relief she could not hide.*That night.A black car stopped in front of the most luxurious hotel in Sky Phoenix Province.The towering building had a glittering glass façade. Crystal lights hung magnificently in the lobby. The marble floor reflected the shadows of high-class guests coming and going.Seven-Star Hotel.A place where conglomerates, officials, and rulers of the underworld usually stayed. Clara hesitated.“Are we really staying here?”Alex glanced at the golden signboard.“You don’t like it?”“It’s not that… it’s just…”Before she could finish, a hotel manager had alr
