Sebastian walked calmly through the falling snow as he held the phone to his ear.
“What is it?” He asked. His tone remained flat and indifferent. However, Isaac did not dare show the slightest displeasure. Instead, his voice became even more respectful.
“I was informed that you arrived in Cloud City today, so I called to welcome you personally. If Mr Helios permits it, I can arrive immediately to receive you.”
“No. That’s not necessary.” Sebastian declined instantly. “I don’t want unnecessary attention.”
Isaac immediately understood what Sebastian meant. Someone of his status appearing personally would undoubtedly cause a huge commotion in Cloud City.
“I understand,” Isaac replied without hesitation. “I won’t disturb your peace.”
Isaac still vividly remembered the terrifying scene three years ago overseas.
At that time, he had been kidnapped by a powerful armed faction while discussing a business deal abroad.
Just when he thought he was going to die, Sebastian descended from the sky like a god of war and slaughtered everyone in his path.
That day, rivers of blood flowed.
Even now, Isaac still trembled whenever he recalled it.
From that moment onwards, Isaac swore that as long as Sebastian gave the order, he would obey without hesitation.
Sebastian hummed faintly and continued walking through the snowy street while Isaac carefully changed the topic.
“Mr. Helios,” Isaac said carefully, “I’ve already prepared accommodations for you.”
Sebastian continued walking.
“What accommodations?”
“The top penthouse suite of the Nine Dragons Pavilion", Isaac quickly continued.
“I’ve also prepared a Heavenly Dragon Card for you. With the card, you’ll have unrestricted access to all the businesses and industries under the Nine Dragons Group.”
Sebastian’s expression remained calm.
The Nine Dragons Group was one of the most powerful corporations in Cloud City, and its hotel, the Nine Dragons Pavilion, was the most luxurious hotel in Cloud City. Ordinary wealthy people could barely afford to dine there. Even people of extremely high status were barely qualified to enter the upper floors.
As for the top penthouse suite, it was practically a symbol of supreme status.
“Fine,” Sebastian replied casually. He needed a place to stay.
Isaac secretly sighed in relief.
“Also, Mr. Helios,” Isaac continued respectfully, “the Rutherford Group is hosting a high-level banquet next month."
"Most of the influential figures in Cloud City will be in attendance. Would you honor us with your presence?”
Sebastian frowned faintly.
“I’m not interested.”
Isaac hurriedly spoke.
“Mr. Helios, many major families and corporations will be attending. Perhaps there may even be clues regarding the matter you’re investigating.”
Sebastian’s eyes darkened slightly.
His father’s death.
That was the true reason he came to Cloud City.
After a few seconds of silence, Sebastian finally replied calmly.
“I’ll think about it.”
Isaac’s expression brightened.
“Understood!”
He wisely did not push further.
“Is there anything else you require?” Isaac asked cautiously. “As long as I can do it, I won’t hesitate.”
Sebastian narrowed his eyes slightly.
“Find someone for me.”
“Who?”
“Evans Halwell," Sebastian replied. "He's a doctor that's been in hiding for over ten years, so finding him won't be easy."
Isaac immediately replied without hesitation.
“I’ll begin searching immediately.”
“Good.” Sebastian nodded with approval.
“I’ll have someone deliver the items right away.” Isaac informed Sebastian.
"Okay," Sebastian said calmly.
The two exchanged a few more words before ending the call.
Merely minutes later, a black Rolls-Royce Phantom slowly pulled up before Sebastian, and a middle-aged man in a tailored black suit stepped out and bowed respectfully.
“Mr. Helios, President Rutherford instructed me to deliver these personally.”
He handed Sebastian a crystal keycard with a black dragon engraved across its surface, alongside a luxurious wooden box. Inside the box lay a black gold card engraved with a majestic golden dragon.
The Heavenly Dragon Card.
Sebastian merely glanced at it before putting it away casually, as if it were nothing more than an ordinary bank card.
The driver secretly sucked in a breath upon seeing this. Countless wealthy tycoons dreamt of obtaining that card and would have even wept at the sight of it, yet Sebastian treated it like it was a worthless piece of junk.
“Mr. Helios,” the driver said respectfully, “shall I take you to the Nine Dragons Pavilion?”
Sebastian nodded once and stepped into the Rolls-Royce. The driver closed the door carefully before hurrying to his seat. The luxury car soon disappeared into the snowy streets.

Meanwhile, inside the Rose Corporation headquarters, Amelia threw a document onto her desk angrily. Her beautiful face was filled with irritation.
“That old man has completely lost his mind!”
Lisa stood nearby holding two cups of coffee. She set one down gently.
“I still can’t believe that Patriarch Lockwood wants you to marry that guy.”
Amelia’s expression instantly turned colder.
“That marriage won’t happen.”
Lisa nodded immediately.
“Exactly! Only a man like Cameron is more suitable for you.”
Amelia frowned slightly when she heard Cameron’s name.
She had never liked Cameron Vance.
Although he came from a wealthy family and constantly pursued her, his methods were too obvious.
Lisa sighed helplessly.
“Amelia, stop being stubborn. You can’t deny that Cameron has helped the company a lot.”
“He only helped because he wants something in return,” Amelia replied coldly. She was not a fool.
“But he’s quite capable,” Lisa insisted. She turned to look at Amelia seriously.
"He helped Rose Corporation survive the South River crisis last month, and don’t forget the thirty million dollars he invested into the West District project. Without him, we would never have won the bid.”
Amelia remained silent, but her expression shifted slightly. She naturally remembered that matter.
If not for that money, her Rose Corporation would have struggled greatly during the acquisition phase of that project.
“Cameron invited us to dinner tonight at the Nine Dragons Pavilion. We could use this as an opportunity to thank him for his timely help.”
“Honestly speaking, compared to Cameron, that Sebastian guy is nothing.” Lisa sneered. Her voice carried obvious contempt.
Amelia’s eyes flickered slightly. Although she disliked Cameron’s persistence, she could not deny the gap between the two men.
Amelia hesitated slightly. She truly had little interest in Cameron. However, after thinking about the company’s current situation, she finally sighed softly.
“Fine.”
Lisa instantly brightened.
“That’s more like it!”
Amelia grabbed her coat coldly.
“I’m only going because of the company.”
Lisa grinned.
“That’s good enough.”
Meanwhile, on the other side of the city, a black Rolls-Royce slowly approached the brightly illuminated Nine Dragons Pavilion.

Chapter 41
The rooftop lounge was quiet for a Saturday afternoon.Bright golden sunlight shone radiantly on the glass railing of the rooftop lounge of the prestigious Heavens Hotel, casting a warm glow on the elegant space.Potted winter jasmine bloomed softly in porcelain planters, their delicate fragrance mingling with the rich aroma of freshly brewed Keemun tea as soft classical music played softly in the background.The snow drifted gently across the manicured gardens as a gentle breeze carried the cold air more often than not.Amelia sat on a plush outdoor sofa, wrapped in a soft cream-coloured cashmere coat that hugged her elegant figure.Her platinum blonde hair was tied in a loose ponytail, a few strands dancing across her face in the light wind.She cradled a warm porcelain cup of keemun tea between her palms, letting the steam rise and brush against her cheeks.Across her, Lisa relaxed comfortably in a stylish wool sweater and high-waisted trousers, her legs crossed as she sipped her o

The luxury armoured SUV was a masterpiece vehicle, with a reinforced metal framework, bulletproof glass, a custom V8 engine with performance upgrades, and a hand-stitched leather interior that made it one of the most exclusive vehicles available.Priced at nearly one million dollars, it was not available to just any regular person. Only the top military personnel could ever hope to purchase it.Yet, such an exclusive vehicle had come to a stop just in front of Sebastian.The rear door opened smoothly with a soft click, and a tall, imposing man stepped out.He was built like a seasoned warrior with broad shoulders and a burly frame that was honed through years of extremely brutal training, giving him a calm but dangerous presence.His striking, angular face carried faint scars from his old battles, and his short-cropped black hair was cut military style and combed neatly.He was dressed in a black suit that fit his burly frame perfectly, his facial expression as cold and stern as ever.
Chapter 39
Sebastian stepped out of the Lockwood Manor gates into the biting night air. The cold wind carried the faint scent of pine from the estate’s gardens, but it did little to cool the fury simmering in his blood.His handsome face was devoid of any warmth, and the teasing smile he had worn moments ago while speaking with Amelia had completely vanished, replaced by a chilling, bloodthirsty aura that made the surrounding atmosphere feel heavier and almost oppressive.He walked down the snowy pavements with steady, purposeful steps, his hands tucked into his pockets.The moment he was far enough from the manor gates, he pulled out his phone and dialled Isaac Rutherford directly.“Mr. Helios,” Isaac greeted respectfully the moment the phone call connected. “I take it you’ve received my text.”“Yes. Explain everything.” Sebastian replied, his tone cold and commanding.“Of course, my lord.” There was a rustle of papers on the other end, then Isaac’s voice returned.“After receiving your orders,
Chapter 38
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 37
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
Chapter 36
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 a
