"Young Master, my only daughter was born sick, and now it's worse."

Alfred's eyes filled with sorrow, "She's in pain every day. I've seen every doctor, spent a fortune, tried everything—nothing helps. She's only getting worse. Please, help her. I'll do anything."

Alex gazed at him calmly.

"I'll meet your daughter tomorrow."

Alfred was stunned.

He hadnt expected His Highness would agree to lend a helping hand so easily.

He grabbed Alex's hand, bowed in gratitude.

"Thank you, my lord!"

He whispered, his words heavy with all he felt.

Previously, Alfred hadn’t believed his luck when his leader mentioned Alex's visit to Vancouver.

Albert wasnt entirely sure who Alex was.

However, what he was certain was even his leader must kneel before Alex!

If Alexs was displeased, millions of lives could vanish.

But if he was satisfied, even the dying could live!

As the head of the Kingswell organization in Vancouver, Albert had heard the rumors.

About a high-ranking figure known as "God’s Hand," the disciple of the Immortal Sage.

Even the dying could be healed by his touch.

So he had done everything to ensure Alex would be satisfied.

"Young Master," Alfred asked, "I heard you’re on an important mission. Tell me how I can assist. In Vancouver, nothing is beyond your reach. If you command right, even the government won't go left."

I do indeed need your help, Alex said.

He had three critical tasks ahead.

"Find someone for me.”

"I don’t have a name, just a nickname. They call him ‘Jo.’ No picture either."

When he was younger, he had ended up on the streets in Vancouver, only to flee from danger.

The one with the nickname “Jo” was the person who had helped him out.

He needed to find him, and to repay the kindness he had received.

"Your wish is my command," Alfred obediently bowed.

“Is that all?”

Alex nodded.

He had two other tasks here: one was to meet his fiancée, and the other was to uncover his origin.

However, for the former, there was no need for Albert's involvement.

Regarding the latter, it could only be addressed after finding Jo.

“Young Master,” Albert began cautiously, “when a high-ranking Kingswell member visits, I’m supposed to organize a banquet, invite the city's elite, top businessmen, top actresses, politicians, and I have prepared…”

He watched Alex's face as he explained.

But when he noticed a slight furrow in Alexs brow, he quickly adjusted.

“But since you're incognito, you’d prefer to skip the banquet, correct?”

Alex nodded with a smile.

“I’ll cancel it immediately, then,Alfred responded immediately

Always remember, no need for such a fuss,” Alex command.

Alfred bowed in acknowledgement.

He clearly understood why Alex needed to keep a low profile.

Alex was a man with the title of "God’s Hand."

Of the thousand patients he had ever touched, none remained uncured.

He was also the direct disciple of the Immortal Sage, who was said to be able to bring the dead back to life in the blink of an eye!

If Alex revealed his identity, people around the world would surround him and not give him any peace.

Parting with Alfred, Alex stepped out and called a taxi, giving him an address.

His had to meet with his fiancée.

His master said that woman was his fate, written in the Akashic Record, and she was also the key for Alex in finding his mother in the future.

An hour later, Alex arrived on West 4th Avenue in West Vancouver, an affluent neighborhood with ocean views, mountain backdrops, and multi-million-dollar estates.

As he reached for the gate’s bell, a luxury car pulled up.

The driver stepped out, and their eyes locked.

Both, surprised, spoke at once, "You!"

“What are you doing here?” they both exclaimed, overlapping.

Sophia’s eyes narrowed.

“Don’t tell me you’re stalking me now.”

Alex raised an eyebrow. “Stalking you? I have better things to do.”

“Of course,” Sophia shot back, arms crossed.

“I suppose you’re here to beg for money. Should’ve known you’d stoop that low.”

“Money? I don’t need your charity,” Alex retorted.

“I’m here for something more important.”

Sophia didnt believe a single word of Alexs.

Her voice dripped with sarcasm.

“Another scheme? Trying to marry into wealth, maybe?”

“You think I’m after your money?” Alex replied coldly. “Youre completely wrong, then. I want nothing from you.”

“Good!” Sophia snapped, her anger rising.

“Because I have nothing to give, especially not to you.”

Alex frowned.

If it wasnt because of his help, she would have been abused by who knew whom, or even worse, died beneath a random bastard's groin.

Sophia glared at him one last time before turning on her heel and driving through the automatic iron gate, leaving Alex alone on the pavement.

He checked the address in his hand.

This was indeed his fiancée’s house, arranged by his master, the Immortal Sage.

He had no choice but to move forward and meet his fiancée.

Whether that woman was truly her or not remained unclear.

The mansion loomed before him, grand and imposing.

His fiancée could be anyone—maybe even that woman’s sister.

Thinking of how he had slept with his fiancée's sister, Alex mused with a bitter smile, “Yeah, everything just keeps getting better.”

    Alex scanned the square. Citizens were already gathering, their voices rising, their faces tight with anger and hope.Someone shouted for justice. Then another. The sound spread like fire.He turned his gaze to Zhuge Liang.The man was around forty, a familiar presence in the city—someone who seemed to know everyone, and in turn was known by everyone.His eyes were sharp and alive, burning with expectation. Alex could see it clearly—this man wanted him to act, to shoulder responsibility, to change things for the people.It would be troublesome. Very troublesome.Alex raised his hand.The City Lord’s seal caught the light.“People of Qingshui City,” Alex said.Silence crashed down instantly, as if the entire square had been frozen by an invisible hand.“This is my first command as City Lord.”Everyone recognized the authority in his voice, the weight of the seal.Zhuge Liang dropped to one knee without hesitation.A heartbeat later, the entire crowd followed, kneeling in unison.“I, Ba

    This time, Bai Xi made a fatal mistake.He had forgotten one thing.He was facing Alex.Alex shouted without hesitation, “Immortal Lu. Immortal Sun. My uncle said that if I dared to take the seal, he would kill me. He clearly has no respect for the two of you.”Bai Xi’s face drained of color. His brain shut down completely.He never imagined Alex would pull a move like this—dropping the ultimate snitch card and hauling the immortals straight into the fight like it was nothing.Sun Muran’s expression turned cold. She took one step forward.“So, Bai Xi, you little pig” she said calmly, “do you truly have no regard for us? Do you want me to remove your head before you are willing to hand over the position?”The pressure hit Bai Xi like a mountain collapsing.His legs buckled. His body slammed into the ground, kneeling against his will.“I’m sorry! I’m sorry!” Bai Xi cried, panic breaking through his composure. “Immortal Sun, this matter is merely a family misunderstanding. I’ll give the

    Alex locked eyes with the head soldier and felt it clearly—the man wanted him dead.Not as a threat. Not as intimidation. Real killing intent.Alex hadn’t felt that sensation in a long time.The fear of death.In the past few days, he had brushed against death again and again.Each close call dragged him back to an older memory—back to when he was young, powerless, hunted, when people tried to kill him as casually as swatting a fly.Those were things he had long forgotten, buried the moment he became king.“Everyone!” a voice suddenly roared through the square. “Magistrate Bai Xi wants to kill City Lord Bai Xiaochun so he can steal the City Lord’s position permanently!”The shout was loud enough to tear through the chaos.People who had fled earlier but hadn’t gone far froze. Heads turned. Bodies leaned out from alleys and behind stalls.One by one, citizens gathered at the edge of the square, watching from what they thought was a safe distance.At the entrance, the head soldier had a

    The first soldier arrived at a gallop, his horse skidding to a halt as he shouted, “No one take that money! It belongs to City Lord Bai Xi!”Everyone there knew the name. Bai Xi—the city judge, the magistrate—was infamous.Corrupt to the bone. He was the younger brother of Bai Xu, the late City Lord, and the uncle of Bai Xiaochun.Zhuge Liang and the other citizens reacted instantly the moment the soldier barked his command.They snatched up the gold ingots and scattered in all directions, disappearing into alleys and side streets.The soldiers charged after them, shouting, trying to seize the gold by force—but the crowd moved too fast. Only a handful of unlucky people were caught.When everything finally settled, the twenty soldiers had recovered only fifteen gold ingots. Around ten citizens were seized and dragged away in chains.“You,” one of the head soldiers barked, pointing straight at Alex. “How dare you give gold to the people?”The man’s eyes were full of contempt.Just pure

    Some of the people who had already received gold returned with their relatives. More villagers kept arriving. What started as twenty people had grown into nearly fifty, and the crowd was still swelling.Alex’s eyes shifted to the side.The two cultivator women in blue and yellow robes were still there.They were the real danger.He prayed silently that these two unwelcome guests would lose interest and leave without investigating him further.But they were still scanning the surroundings carefully, as if searching for something important.They paid no attention to Alex because he appeared too busy dealing with the crowd.And Alex understood.He had to keep looking busy. Very busy. Until they left.“All of you, stop!”A sharp voice cut through the noise.The crowd turned.A man in tattered clothes stepped forward, but his eyes were bright and intelligent. He dragged a wooden chair from somewhere and placed it beside Alex.“Young Master Bai, please sit while you inspect them. This will

    Alex was the King of Estoria and the richest man in Prussia.He owned five storage rings, each one crammed full of gold, jewels, rare herbs, and treasures worth more than entire cities.And yet, in love and friendship, he was bankrupt.The climb to the top was always lonely. Brutal. Silent.He had become so poor that money was the only thing he had left.Taking out a box of gold ingots—the kind Xia people adored—was nothing to him. A scratch.A barely noticeable dent in his coffers.“Young Master Bai!” the old man who had been the loudest to accuse Alex earlier suddenly shouted, his voice trembling with theatrical emotion.“I told them before they even came here! It is impossible! Absolutely impossible for Young Master Bai Xiaochun—the purest man in this city, no, in this entire world—to ever rape a poor and ugly woman like this!”Every pair of eyes turned toward the old man.Because everyone knew the truth.Bai Xiaochun was notorious.
