2024-08-21 09:44:27Alex took out his smartphone and pressed the fast call number 9.
“Good day, Mr. Leonhart. I am Julia, your First Royal Mastercard personal concierge. How may I assist you?”
“Do you know where I am right now?”
“Yes, your card has GPS. You are at Vancouver’s Noble Knight Club.”
“I want to become a member.”
“We are processing that now. You can use your Mastercard as the membership card,” Julia replied.
The glass door suddenly opened.
“Your membership has been approved. Do you need anything else, sir?”
“No, thank you.”
Alex put his smartphone in his pocket and walked into the club.
The guard hurriedly blocked his path.
“I think the system made an error. You cannot enter.”
“I am a member here,” Alex explained. “Why do you think the system let me in?”
The guard was confused but asked again, “Do you have a membership card? I want to check it. If you don’t have one, please leave.”
Alex took out his First Royal Mastercard.
The guard had never seen this kind of card before.
“Sir, I don’t think this is a membership card. You cannot enter.”
“Just scan it, or should I call your manager?”
The guard had a bad feeling since the card seemed so luxurious.
He was hesitant, not knowing what might happen, but when the manager came, it could turn ugly.
He chose to scan the card.
The scanner beeped and displayed the member's identity.
The guard was shocked.
He read
the identity, and his face turned pale.Without hesitation, he quickly knelt.
“I am really sorry for not recognizing such a top member. Please forgive me.”
The guard was paralyzed with fear; he had just mocked the top member.
He might get fired, and his family of five would suffer.
“You saw nothing, understood?” Alex said.
“Yes, sir, I saw nothing.”
“Tell me, where did the two girls go?”
***
Sophia and Lyra were warmly welcomed as they entered the club’s main hall.
They exchanged pleasantries until Lyra noticed the frightened guard guiding Alex into the hall.
“Damn,” Lyra whispered to Sophia, “It seems like the guard wants to get in our good graces by letting him in. Shall I call the manager to chase him out?”
“Let him be,” Sophia replied.
“You’re right, Chris will take care of him later,” Lyra said, and they pretended not to know Alex.
"Look! Chris has started his world rank competition online!"
Alex could see what seemed like a real virtual hologram: a man with a sword fighting a man with a spear.
The swordsman in the ring struck his opponent skillfully.
In just four movements, the spearman was cut in two, and the hologram destroyed.
“Chris wins the 1,467th Rank!”
The whole hall applauded.
“He is the best in Vancouver, pushing the 1,500 rank.”
“No one in Vancouver could pass this rank.”
“Yeah, from 10 billion people, he ranks more than 1,500.”
“He is rich, strong, and handsome.
Whoever marries him will be very happy!”“Yeah, who wouldn’t be crazy about him?”
Sophia also felt happy for Chris.
Chris walked from a room with a special combat suit that could connect him to any opponent around the world.
He spotted Sophia and approached her with a smile.
"Sophia, Lyra, I’m glad you’re here."
Just then, Chris’s eyes fell on Alex.
"So that is the scum?"
“Yeah, the riffraff I told you about, Alex." Lyra sneered.
A muscle ticked in Chris’s jaw as he stared coldly at Alex.
How did this loser dare marry his sweetheart?
"I see, so you’re the leech. Divorce Sophia now while I am being kind to you."
“Why?” Alex coldly asked.
“Isn’t it obvious or are you too stupid to realize? You don’t deserve her!”
“Well, my opinion is just the opposite. I believe that, in every way, I am deserving of her.”
Sophia’s eyes widened at Alex’s shameless remark.
“How naive! You don’t have any wealth that makes you fit for her.” Chris sneered.
“Believe me, you are poorer than me by at least a thousand times in terms of wealth.”
Chris frowned and eyed Alex disdainfully.
Indeed, this was an ignorant fool with no shame.
"You know what, if you’re a man, join me for a bout."
Alex shook his head.
"I don’t play with children. People will say I’m a bully."
"BOO! Shame on you!"
Some of Chris’s fans were angry.
“This coward doesn’t dare!”
"If you’re scared, just say it."
"Yeah, there is no need to deny it! Damn bastard."
"You are scared, aren’t you?" Chris mocked.
“Scared? Of you?” Alex laughed. “So cute of you.”
Chris’s eyes turned red with fury.
“A man can be destroyed but not insulted. If you dare, prove it then! Let’s fight there.”
“If you lose, I want you to divorce Sophia right now.” Chris added, revealing his final aim.
“What if I win?” Alex asked.
“You win?” Chris sneered disdainfully.
How could that be possible? He never considered that.
No one in Vancouver could beat him in virtual combat.
Meanwhile, a round of laughter erupted in the club.
"Oh my goodness! What shameless boasting and audacity!"
“Chris, teach that village boy some manners.”
“What do you want?” Chris scoffed.
“Do you have a house in Vancouver?
Put the biggest one up.”Alex looked at him expressionlessly and added, “Since you’re so eager to embarrass yourself, I’ll let you have your way.”

Chapter 561
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
Chapter 560
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
Chapter 559
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
Chapter 558
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
Chapter 557
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
Chapter 556
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. Insane. Wild.iIf he were in the mood, even a ski
