"You're truly unruly, uneducated, and nothing more than a frog in a well, thinking you're so great!”
Sophia scoffed with disdain.
“That's why I despise talking to someone as lowly as you!"
Alex chuckled, “Believe me, I am trying to be honest here.”
"You? A powerful man?" she sneered, glaring at him with utter disgust.
"You can't even begin to understand how powerful I am or the people I've encountered who are far more powerful than you. They could erase you with just a sneer."
Alex laughed.
"The powerful men you know might be the ones seeking my favor, pleading for me to marry their daughters just to stay in my good graces. Trust me, you're incredibly lucky to have crossed paths with me."
What a braggart!
Sophia rowed her eyes in disgust.
She wanted nothing more than to throw something at his smug face.
How shameless could he be, pretending to be so powerful when all he had was an old military backpack?
"You might pretend not to know me and try to bind me with marriage just to get my money," Sophia retorted.
"But I warn you, that’s never going to happen. If my family finds out I slept with a poor man like you, you’ll be erased from this world. So you’d better keep your mouth shut and forget everything that happened here."
"I…"
"I don’t want to hear another word from you. Now, get out of this room," she demanded, her eyes blazing with fury.
"But…"
Alex tried to protest.
This was his room.
“NOW!”
Yet, seeing the fury in Sophia’s wide eyes, he chose not to argue.
He quietly put on his clothes, grabbed his old military backpack, and looked at Sophia one last time.
"I…"
"Get out!" Sophia’s yelled at the top of her lung.
"Alright."
In the elevator, Alex sighed, running a hand through his hair.
He knew the woman was under the influence of a cruel aphrodisiac, one that would end her life if she didn’t have sex with a man within the hour.
If there were any other way to save her, he would have done it already.
But that kind of sinister poison had no antidote.
"What the hell have I done? I came here to meet my fiancée, but before even meeting her, I’ve already slept with another woman. Maybe this is what they call a legendary bachelor party."
As Alex walked out from the elevator into the lobby, it was around five in the morning.
The hotel was quiet, with only a few people scattered around.
Yet, as he crossed the lobby, a group of men in black—about forty of them—suddenly appeared, forming two lines and bowing deeply as he passed.
He glanced at them with little interest, his expression one of boredom as if this was something he was long tired of.
A middle-aged man stepped forward from the group, kneeling before him in a knight-like stance.
"I am Alfred Kingston, at your service, Young Master," the man declared with reverence.
Alex looked down at him. "Alfred, do you know why I’m here in such simple clothes?"
"Young Master,
please enlighten me," Alfred responded, his head still bowed."I’m here incognito," Alex explained. "And all this unnecessary fuss—are you trying to blow my cover so everyone knows who I truly am?"
"I apologize for my short-sightedness," Alfred quickly stood, turning to the men behind him.
With a swift gesture, he signaled for them to disperse, and the line of men quickly melted away, leaving the lobby empty once more.
"Tell me what you’re here for," Alex said as he walked toward a nearby sofa.
Alfred followed closely behind, like a faithful servant.
"Yes, Young Master," Alfred responded promptly.
He reached into his coat and pulled out a small box.
Opening it, he revealed a black card with gold trim and a .235-carat diamond embedded in the center.
"This is the World First Royale Mastercard. With unlimited credit, just use it as you see fit."
Alfred humbly handed it to Alex.
"This card also comes with a dedicated 24/7 concierge service that is highly personalized for you alone.”
“You’ll have access to a team that can fulfill almost any request, whether it’s securing last-minute reservations at the finest restaurants, arranging private jet travel, or gaining entry to exclusive events.”
“It connects you to the most secretive circles—no one will ever say no to you."
Alex looked at the card without any interest.
Alfred continued.
"I also arranged for the newest Sport car Bugatti La Voiture Noire, a one-of-a-kind model equipped with the latest artificial intelligence technology and self-driving capabilities.”
“But since you are here incognito, I guess you won’t like it, — so here is a villa in case you need to have a long stay."
Alfred explained with caution.
Alex nodded.
"Good to see you understood. I’ll keep the card for emergencies, but you can hold onto all the other gifts you’ve prepared."
“Now, tell me what you want.”

Chapter 601
What truly shocked everyone—especially Elder Xiao—was the Eternal Blue Flower.Growing one was no simple task. It demanded relentless care, precision, and patience. One mistake—just one—and the flower would wither and die instantly. Because of that, no one outside Elder Xiao and her direct disciples had ever succeeded in cultivating it.And yet—Li Qingxue had returned with one.Not only that… it was massive.At a glance, it was clearly over twenty-five centimeters.A ripple of disbelief spread through the hall.Li Qingxue walked calmly toward the Peak Leaders, her expression composed, almost indifferent to the storm she had just unleashed.“I was asked to bring the smallest flower,” she said evenly. “This is the best I could find.”She paused, glancing down at the glowing blue petals in her hand.“I estimate it to be around twenty-seven centimeters.”Shock exploded across every elder’s face.For years, they had bent themselves to please Elder Xiao—enduring her conditions, her prices,

“Tang Ming, how do you want this competition to be decided?” one of the elders asked, his voice calm but carrying across the arena.Tang Ming lifted his chin, pride glinting in his eyes. “A few years ago, I placed eleventh in the herb knowledge test. My name is carved into the stone stele rankings—you can see it for yourself.”There was no modesty in his tone—only certainty. Among the younger generation, he stood alone. Everyone ranked above him had long since died. There was no one left to challenge his claim.“So,” he continued, glancing at Alex, “I’ll take the herb ranking test again. I’m confident I’ll enter the top ten. You should take it too. Whoever ranks higher wins this competition.”“Alright,” Alex said.His voice was flat, almost indifferent. The truth was, he didn’t care.“Good!” Tang Ming grinned, already turning away. “I’ll head to the medical pavilion now.”Without waiting another second, he rushed down the peak toward the stone stele test, his robes fluttering behind h

Elder Han froze, disbelief flashing across his face.He couldn’t accept it—couldn’t believe that Jun Jiu would actually dare lay a hand on an Elder in front of everyone.This wasn’t just arrogance. This was suicide. Killing an Elder meant punishment. Death punishment.“You wouldn’t dare kill me,” Elder Han sneered.A soft, almost gentle smile curved on Alex’s lips.“You’re absolutely right,” he said calmly. “I won’t kill you… not today.”“But there are many ways to destroy a man without taking his life.”Alex lifted his hand and snapped his fingers.A thin, shimmering ice needle formed instantly between them—so fine it almost looked invisible under the light.Before anyone could react—He flicked his wrist.The needle shot forward.It struck Elder Han’s body with deadly precision, piercing through multiple acupuncture points in a blink.Elder Han’s body jerked.Then went rigid.Alex didn’t even look back.“I won’t be helping this Elder,” he said lightly as he turned away. “If anyone w

One of the elders from Thousand Herbs Peak narrowed his eyes at Alex, a deep frown creasing his face.“Who is contestant number 777?” he asked sharply.The staff member beside him hurriedly checked the records, hands slightly trembling. “He’s registered under the name Jun Jiu.”The elder’s expression darkened instantly, his gaze turning cold and hostile.“So… you’re the one called Jun Jiu.”A flicker of memory surged through his mind—three months ago. His nephew, Han Fei, dead. Killed because of this man.The one who carried out the execution had been a Peak Leader. Someone far above him.He hadn’t been able to act then.So he waited.Waited for the right moment.Waited to strike back.His eyes shifted, glancing toward the central viewing platform where the Peak Leader sat, calmly watching the fights unfold.“Your time is running out,” the elder muttered under his breath, a thin, dangerous smile forming.Not just the Peak Leader.The Wudang Sect Master as well.He had already made con

The past two days had been exhausting.From the outside, having a hundred followers looked like power. Influence. Control.The truth?It was a constant, relentless headache.Alex barely had a moment to breathe. Every hour was spent organizing—assigning roles, dividing responsibilities, deciding who did what, who answered to whom. Without structure, everything would collapse into chaos.Only by forcing order into the madness could they actually function… and maybe, just maybe, turn it into something profitable.Alex sat atop a large boulder, the wind brushing lightly against his robes. Below him, over a hundred disciples stood in silence, their eyes fixed on him.“Remember this,” Alex said carrying easily across the crowd. “Before I left, I prepared three manuals.”He raised a hand, counting them off.“One—for managing the herb garden.”“Two—for cultivation.”“Three—for basic martial arts.”A faint pause.“If you study them properly… you’ll see results within a year.”The crowd stirred
Chapter 596
Alex stepped back into his hut after leaving the library, closing the door behind him with a quiet thud. The silence wrapped around him, but his mind refused to rest.Three months.That was all the time he had.And it wasn’t enough.There were still too many techniques, too many fragments of martial knowledge buried in the library that he hadn’t even touched yet. If he tried to learn everything the normal way, he would fall behind—far behind.His gaze hardened.There was only one way.“The fastest path… is through sleep. Through meditation.”When the mind slips into a dreamlike state, time bends.Three months in the real world… could become thirty months inside the dream.A faint breath escaped his lips as the thought settled in.“I have to survive.”“I’m not dying here.”Not in a place where countless others were stronger than him. Not when he hadn’t even begun to climb.“I won’t be distracted. And no one… will be allowed to distract me.”With that, Alex reached into his storage and
