Catherine slammed both palms against the dining table and rose abruptly to her feet, her chair scraping harshly against the polished floor.“Absolutely not!” she snapped angrily. “My daughter will not marry that useless scoundrel!”Her finger pointed accusingly toward Sebastian. "This bastard has no status, no career, and no future! What right does he have to marry Amelia?!”“Catherine!” Henry roared thunderously. His eyes blazed with anger at his daughter-in-law’s outburst, but Catherine was beyond caring.Her chest heaved with rage as she glared at Sebastian, her jewellery glinting under the chandelier lights.George stood up more slowly, but he was equally agitated. He tried to remain calm and maintain his composure, but his voice was still filled with disbelief.“Dad, why are you trying to hand Amelia over to someone like Sebastian?” George glared at him as he continued speaking.“He has absolutely nothing to offer and is clearly here to leech off the Lockwood family!”Henry’s knu
Chapter 36
Henry Lockwood was dressed in a black silk robe embroidered with subtle silver threading. He leaned lightly on his cane, the polished ebony handle still smooth notwithstanding the long years of use. Despite his age, his back remained straight, and his cold blue eyes swept across the room with the kind of authority that didn't need to announce itself. The moment he saw Sebastian, his eyes lit up with joy. He strode forward enthusiastically and patted Sebastian on the shoulder. "Sebastian, my boy! You’re finally here.” Henry was all smiles as he greeted him warmly. “It’s a pleasure to see you.” Sebastian expertly hid his dissatisfaction at Amelia’s parents and smiled back at Henry. He wouldn’t lower himself to their level, but he was beginning to question the character of the Lockwood family. “The pleasure is all mine, Henry," Sebastian replied politely. “Nonsense.” Henry waved him off gently. “Since everyone is here, let’s have our lunch like a proper family.” Henry’s ar

Amelia froze, and for a few seconds she simply stared at him, her mind struggling to process his words.The Black Dragon floor of the Nine Dragons Pavilion?The most luxurious hotel in Cloud City?She stared at Sebastian for a few more seconds before suddenly laughing.“Yeah, right," she scoffed. “And I own a mansion in Celestia Hills.”“Celestia Hills? Where’s that?” Sebastian asked curiously.“You don’t know?” Amelia looked at him exasperatedly, then remembered that her fiancé just arrived in Cloud City a few days ago. It was normal for him to not know.“Celestia Hills is the most exclusive residential district in Cloud City.”“It’s the kind of place where money alone isn’t enough to gain entry. Even if one possessed hundreds of millions of dollars, you still need status and connections to set foot there.” Amelia explained.“Ohh, I see.” Sebastian nodded his head.“Wait, why am I even telling you about this? People of your status can never step foot there.” Amelia scoffed as she loo
Chapter 34
Meanwhile, back at the penthouse suite of the Nine Dragons Pavilion, Sebastian sat alone in the study. The afternoon sun filtered through the windows as he reviewed the stacks of documents, photographs, auction catalogues, and detailed reports Isaac had gathered at his request. His last battle at Dragon Valley had nearly claimed his life. Although he had emerged victorious, the hidden injuries left behind had shattered his cultivation foundation and reduced him to a shadow of his former self. Even his master, the Divine Sage, had been unable to restore what had been lost. However, what initially seemed like a devastating setback had unexpectedly become an opportunity. According to his master's teachings, destroying one's old foundation was the prerequisite for cultivating the supreme technique known as the Imperial Dragon Art. It was a cultivation method said to surpass all others. The technique contained nine realms, each one more profound than the last. Yet the requirements

“Straight to business as always, Eve.” Cade chuckled on the other end, clearly surprised. “You know my rates aren’t cheap, right? Especially if it’s on short notice.”“You know I can afford it, so stop playing around.” Evelyn replied flatly.“You’re no fun at all.” Cade sighed dramatically. “Fine. What do you have for me?”“Give me the usual details—name, occupation, last known address, phone number, and his car plate number if he has one.”Evelyn bit her lip, a rare flush of embarrassment colouring her cheeks red. She stood silently for a moment in the empty hallway.“Eve?” Cade asked after she remained silent for a few seconds.“…I don’t have any of that,” she admitted quietly.“Pardon?”“I said I don’t have any of the details you asked for.” Eve reiterated embarrassedly.There was a long pause on the other end. When Cade replied, there was no playfulness in his tone.“Is this a joke?” Cade asked angrily. If it weren’t for the fact that he’d known Eve for a long time, he’d have thoug
