2024-09-16 00:02:08He had his own affairs to handle, which the Lancasters could only dream of reaching his level.
With just a snap of his fingers, he could make their wildest wishes a reality.
If he so desired, the wealthiest families in the city could lose everything, their fortunes vanishing and businesses crumbling into bankruptcy.
But what good would it do to explain this to a woman as arrogant and narrow-minded as Mrs. Lancaster?
Still, Mrs. Lancaster snorted, her displeasure written clearly across her face.
In her eyes, Alex was not only an incompetent son-in-law, but he also couldn't help Sophia in the slightest.
And yet, he had the audacity to speak freely while depending entirely on their daughter.
She wished Chris had made his proposal sooner; perhaps their daughter wouldn't have married this worthless man.
‘No, she has

"I don’t care whether you want to help me or not. Just stay out of my way," Sophia snapped.Alex shook his head.Her understanding was as dull as a butter knife, and her parents were much worse.There was little hope she would realize the truth any time soon.Alex felt no obligation to reveal his true self to her, as their relationship had been doomed from the start.He was simply playing his role, finding his mother and sticking with her family."You're blind to the good people standing right in front of you," Alex said, shaking his head."The truth will come out eventually, and when it does, you'll regret your sayings."Sophia let out a bitter laugh, staring at him as if he had lost his mind.Maybe he had.That would explain his ridiculous confidence.

Alex chuckled.That was enough.With a chilling smile, he replied, "Did you really think I refused Grandpa Abraham’s request all because of your silly threats?""Isn’t that why?"Mr. Lancaster shot back, his voice dripping with contempt.Alex’s cold chuckle echoed in the room."I expected more wisdom from someone your age. Clearly, I overestimated you."Mr. Lancaster was on the verge of exploding with rage."Are you trying to insult me?"Alex sneered.The answer was obvious."You know what? Sophia gave me $100 million as compensation."Mischievously, Alex deliberately exaggerated the amount by 1,000 times.With that, Alex pulled out the bank card and waved it

Jack turned, his demeanor instantly shifting as he sized up Alex.Puffing out his chest like a blowfish, his fists clenched, and his eyes narrowed with hostility."So, you're the one extorting and harassing my sister, huh?" Jack sneered."Let me warn you: a pathetic man like you had better stay away from her. Keep pestering her, and you’ll be digging your own grave."Alex snorted, amused."Don't you have any manners, kid? If you did, you'd greet me properly as your brother-in-law."Jack’s face darkened instantly."Brother-in-law?!" he growled."Who do you think you are, you ignorant fool? Do you even deserve it? My family should've hired you as a servant instead!"Alex chuckled."You're as foolish as you look."Jack’s temper flared,

"Jack, have you forgotten what you promised me? Or do you think I was joking?”Trevor sneered, dragging a dining chair across the floor.He sat down arrogantly, throwing his legs on the table without a care, the tableware clattering loudly.Jack swallowed hard, fear mounting with every second.Grandpa Abraham, though not one for socializing, had heard of Trevor’s notorious reputation—the man who could commit murder without ever being jailed.His face turned pale as he cleared his throat.“Sir Trevor, please, had my grandson done anything that offended you?”Trevor’s sneer deepened, his expression darkening.“Jack owes me $1 billion, and he still hasn’t paid.”What?!One billion dollars?!“That&rsq

“Grandpa, you shouldn’t get so worked up over something so small. It’s bad for your health.”“Small... small matter?”Grandpa Abraham stammered, his voice subdued, as if he had swallowed the bitterest of pills.“How can you—”Suddenly, he gasped, clutching his chest.“Ahhh!”His heart raced uncontrollably, his blood pressure spiking from sheer rage, and dizziness overwhelmed him.Grandpa Abraham lost his balance and collapsed.“Grandpa!”Sophia and the others cried in shock, their voices trembling.But before he hit the ground, Alex swiftly intervened, catching him just in time.Grandpa Abraham was an old man, unable to withstand the awful news of his grandson’s betrayal, e

"What’s wrong with you?"Jack finally shouted, his voice breaking through the shock.He couldn’t comprehend how reckless—how utterly foolish—Alex was acting.Sophia and her parents exchanged panicked looks, feeling lightheaded.They were sure of it now—there was no way out of this situation.Trevor would retaliate.Trevor, who had been sitting moments ago, suddenly stood, knocking the chair over with a loud crash.He growled in rage and took a step toward Alex.But as soon as his eyes met Alex’s, his entire demeanor shifted.His eyes widened, and his confidence crumbled.No way!Could this really be the same man his boss had warned them about?Even though Trevor had never met Alex before, just a few days ago, his boss had shown them all a picture of him.At that meeting, his boss had made it crystal clear: "Stay away from this man. Cross him, and God may forgive you, but I’ll have each of your limbs fed to my piranhas while you’re still breathing!"And now, here he was, standing right

"Now that’s a true gentleman!" Mrs. Lancaster exclaimed."Oh, I’m just doing what I can to help," Chris responded humbly, though inside, his pride swelled at the praise.Meanwhile, Alex couldn't suppress a sneer.He turned to Chris."Do you even know what’s going on? Or are you once again claiming credit for something you had no hand in?"Jack shot back at Alex."You almost got us into more trouble with your reckless mouth. Chris was the one who scared off Trevor, so what are you even talking about?"Chris’s eyes widened at the mention of Trevor.Trevor?!They were talking about *that* Trevor, the feared underworld boss?No wonder the man had looked so menacing!Relief washed over Chris—he was glad he had shown up late and hadn’t made any bold moves.Phew!Still, he couldn’t help but wonder when he’d gained such influence over someone like Trevor.Maybe his father’s influence was far greater than he had ever imagined.He looked around, realizing no one held more power than him.Who el

Outside the Lancaster mansion, a modest car stood waiting, with the driver by its side.Alfred had chosen this low-profile setup, understanding it would help Alex stay unnoticed.As soon as the driver saw Alex approach, he quickly moved toward him."Sir Alex, I’m Morris, the driver sent by Mr. Alfred," he said politely, bowing as he opened the car door for Alex to enter.Inside the car, Morris handed Alex an electronic pad."Sir, inside that pad is 576 pieces of data on people named Jo from all over Vancouver, along with their pictures."He glanced in the rearview mirror and saw that Alex was already rapidly scanning through the files."Please select the one we should begin with, and I'll guide you there," Morris added, buckling his seatbelt as the engine roared to life."This one," Alex said suddenly, handing b

Ten minutes later, Charles emerged, a chillingly composed smile etched onto his handsome face, his attire immaculate once more, betraying no hint of the destructive storm he’d just unleashed.But beneath his polished exterior, Charles burned with an insatiable hunger for revenge.He had to triumph this time—especially considering the astronomical losses he’d inflicted upon his mother due to the failed SkinDews venture, which had bled nearly half a billion from their coffers.Charles knew he had to act fast; his financial lifeblood was slipping away.Pulling out his sleek phone, Charles quickly dialed one of the managers from Kingston.His voice was coldly decisive, leaving no room for hesitation: “That offer you gave me—I’ll accept. Meet me immediately in the meeting hall.”The voice on the other end responded hastily, anxiety apparent. “Right away, sir. I’m coming to you.”A few moments later, a lean, cunning-faced man with narrow eyes approached Charles, bowing obsequiously.It was

“Well, well, well—if it isn’t Alex! Tell me, are you seriously hoping to snag a distributor deal with Kingston?”Clara sneered venomously, her cold eyes darting downward at Alex as if he were nothing more than dirt under her designer shoes.Alex casually shifted his gaze toward Charles, his voice edged with mockery.“What’s wrong, Charles? Didn’t you tell your friend here exactly who I am?”Clara turned toward Charles, curiosity mingling with disdain in her narrowed eyes.“Charles, what exactly is this grand position he claims?”“Alex?” Charles erupted into contemptuous laughter, the cruel amusement echoing harshly through the room.“Please! He’s nothing but a worthless piece of garbage! He wormed his pathetic way into Jasmine’s bed, becoming her personal boy toy through deception.”“My little sister was naive enough to hand him the title of Chief Physician at Hilton Pharmacy—nothing more than charity for a parasite.”“I believe he begged Jasmine for the position, just to make himself

“Absolutely not—you don't get to touch my boyfriend!”A fierce voice shattered the tense silence, erupting seemingly out of nowhere, jolting both Sophia and Alex as though lightning had struck."Jasmine?" Alex gasped in disbelief, his eyes widening at the unexpected apparition before him.Without hesitation, Jasmine seized Alex's arm possessively, her emerald eyes blazing dangerously toward Sophia, gleaming with venomous defiance."He's my boyfriend, and you absolutely do not have permission to kiss him. If you insist on waiting for my blessing, prepare yourself—it might come, say, in about a hundred years."Sophia was utterly stunned, paralyzed by Jasmine's sudden and fiery entrance."How on earth are you even here?" Alex questioned, clearly shaken by her sudden arrival.With a pout brimming with indignation and tenderness, Jasmine gently struck his chest—not in anger, but in affectionate reproach."You idiot, I was worried sick about you! I heard Owen was causing trouble and rushed

Alex recalled vividly that Owen's guards were all lying cold and lifeless in pools of their own blood.“Josephine,” he said, his voice laced with a dark intensity, “when one chooses to walk the shadowed path for too long, they inevitably become the very demons they once feared. Even if he had a shred of decency left, when judgment rains down, he’ll drown in it.”“What are you trying to say?” Josephine’s voice quivered, eyes wide with confusion.“The police already got to them. And given that your so-called kind-hearted bodyguard was standing right alongside Owen, he won't escape the storm that’s coming. The law won’t be merciful.”Josephine’s shoulders sank as she released a weary sigh.“He was supposed to walk away sooner...”Alex softened his tone, compassion mingling with his determination.“Listen, since he tried to help you at the last moment, perhaps we should find his family later and offer them some support. What do you think?”A faint, grateful smile lit Josephine’s face, her

“Get your pathetic face out of my sight, Scarlett! Every time I lay eyes on you, my blood boils a little hotter, and if you linger any longer.”“Believe me, I might just lose control and kill you right here,” Jericho snarled venomously, his hand sweeping through the air like he was dismissing an annoying insect.“Yes, sir…” Scarlett's voice trembled, her pride crushed beneath his harsh words.She bowed deeply, her face etched with pain and shadowed by shame.Turning swiftly, she hurried away, shoulders hunched with humiliation.Inside her chest, dread coiled tightly, eclipsing even her former rage.Scarlett knew better than to entertain any reckless thoughts this time. If Owen Whitman, powerful and untouchable, had met such a brutal end, what chance did someone like her stand?And with Jericho clearly aligned with Alex now, she knew her family could easily be next on the chopping block.Everyone in town knew Jericho Kane was a lunatic, and lately, he'd grown even more unhinged since l

Jericho Kane couldn't sleep.Anxiety gnawed at him relentlessly, twisting his stomach in knots.He had explicitly warned his helicopter pilot to avoid any confrontation with Alex, praying silently that no trouble had ensued.But at that very moment, a violent roar pierced through the night air—the unmistakable thunder of helicopter blades slicing the darkness.His pulse quickened as he rushed outside.The chopper descended heavily onto the square, sending dust and leaves spiraling chaotically.The pilot stumbled out, his face ghostly pale, eyes wide with terror.“What happened? Where is Mister Alex?” Jericho demanded urgently, grabbing the pilot's trembling shoulder.The pilot struggled to form words, each one choked out in panic.The more Jericho heard, the more his blood ran cold, a bone-deep dread settling over him like a suffocating fog."Promise me you'll keep everything you've seen tonight a secret," Jericho ordered sharply."Believe me, sir, I want nothing more than to erase th

“I have the Heaven Root,” Alex sneered coldly, his eyes gleaming like shards of ice as he held Josephine protectively.“If you dare risk your pathetic life for it, then come and claim it!”Yorick's eyes narrowed venomously. He could summon his soldiers to shoot Alex into oblivion—but the Heaven Root was far too precious.A single stray bullet could shatter it.“I'll give you one chance,” Yorick growled, barely controlling his rage.“Hand over the Heaven Root. Or we settle this the hard way.”“Hard way?” Alex chuckled mockingly, confidence radiating from every word.“My one leg alone would be enough to crush you. Step forward—if you dare.”With Josephine tightly clasped to him, he knew he could shield her from any attack. Letting her go was not an option.“Excellent!” Yorick barked, his voice dripping with sarcasm and fury.“If you don’t value your pathetic existence, don’t blame me for your miserable fate. soldiers! Forget the guns—use knives! Sever the limbs of this insolent fool! I

Owen and his bodyguards stood frozen in a stunned stupor, their minds too clouded by shock to fathom the chaos erupting around them.Rushing to the penthouse balcony, Owen gripped the railing tightly and stared down into the shadows below.His breath hitched sharply when he glimpsed a man, powerfully built and fiercely determined, cradling a woman tenderly in his strong arms.Nearby, the thunderous rhythm of helicopter blades filled the night air, whipping it into a violent tempest.More lights pierced through the darkness, an ominous swarm converging swiftly upon the hotel.A wicked smile twisted Owen’s lips, his eyes gleaming cruelly. "Looks like our guest has finally arrived," he chuckled, a harsh laugh escaping his throat, completely devoid of remorse for Josephine’s fate.Women, to him, were nothing more than expendable toys, easily broken and casually discarded.Snatching the pistol off his bedside table, Owen sneered coldly, “Killing Alex and taking the Heaven Root? Hell, that’

Jericho Kane's eyes widened with a sudden, terrified fury as he swung his arm, the back of his hand striking Scarlett so fiercely her teeth scattered across the polished marble floor like dice thrown from a gambler’s desperate hand.Her slender body hit the ground hard, crumpling like a discarded doll.“I apologize deeply, Mr. Alex,” Jericho stammered, voice quivering with dread.“Scarlett’s my niece, reckless and foolish—doesn’t know when to shut that venomous mouth of hers. Trust me, I’ll teach her proper manners.”Jericho trembled, fearful Alex would ignite like dynamite, setting off an explosion of rage fueled by his kidnapped friend.Scarlett, blood dripping from her broken mouth, glared defiantly at Jericho, opening her lips to protest.But before a single word slipped free, Jericho exploded into savage action, kicking her face mercilessly."Can't you keep that poisonous trap shut for a single goddamn second?""Relax, Kane," Alex drawled coldly, disdain dripping from his every w
