The Nine Dragons Pavilion stood proudly at the center of Cloud City. Golden lights illuminated the massive black-and-gold building while luxury vehicles continuously flowed in and out of the grand entrance.
Numerous luxurious cars worth millions filled the driveway, making the entire place look more like a gathering point for royalty than a hotel. Nine enormous marble dragon statues coiled around the towering exterior pillars, radiating majesty and wealth. Amelia and Lisa stood near the entrance as snow drifted lightly around them. Even someone as composed as Amelia could not help but feel slightly restrained by the overwhelming luxury surrounding her. “This place is even more luxurious than I imagined,” Lisa muttered while looking around excitedly. Amelia’s gaze swept across the magnificent building. The Nine Dragons Pavilion was the most prestigious hotel in Cloud City—a symbol of status. Ordinary wealthy people were not even qualified to reserve seats here. At that moment, the roar of an engine suddenly echoed across the driveway, and a red Lamborghini Revuelto shot toward the entrance before stopping smoothly. A tall, handsome young man stepped out, wearing a dark wine-red suit tailored perfectly around his lean figure. An expensive watch glittered on his wrist. The handsome man was none other than Cameron Vance. Lisa’s eyes lit up immediately. “Cameron!” Cameron smiled confidently as he walked over. “Sorry for the wait. I had to attend to some issues.” "It's fine! We know how busy you are." Lisa's voice dripped with admiration. Her gaze shifted to the Lamborghini behind him. "Is that your new car? It's gorgeous! It must have cost a fortune." Cameron chuckled causally. “I just bought it two days ago. It’s not that expensive. Just a couple million.” Lisa sucked in a sharp breath. How can a car that cost millions not be expensive? Only someone as wealthy as Cameron could say that. Cameron only smiled faintly like it was insignificant. His gaze landed on Amelia. “You look beautiful tonight.” “Thank you,” Amelia replied calmly. Despite her reserved tone, she could feel the powerful aura Cameron carried naturally. Compared to Sebastian’s plain appearance, Cameron was someone from a completely different world. Cameron gestured elegantly toward the entrance. “Let’s go in.” The three of them entered the magnificent lobby together. The moment they stepped into the lobby, Lisa gasped. An enormous crystal chandelier overhead sparkled brilliantly while expensive classical music drifted through the air. The polished marble floor reflected the golden lights beautifully, and elegantly dressed elites moved around the lobby with refined smiles. It looked less like a hotel and more like a palace for royalty. “This place is insane…” Lisa whispered excitedly, Amelia quietly observed everything around her. She had attended many high-end places before, but the Nine Dragons Pavilion was clearly on another level. She kept her composure, but even she was astonished. Cameron noticed the subtle change in her expression, and satisfaction flickered in his eyes. Soon, they arrived before a golden elevator, and an attendant respectfully bowed toward Cameron. “Good evening, Young Master Vance.” Cameron nodded calmly before taking out a silver membership card with silver dragon engravings. “The third floor.” Lisa’s eyes immediately widened slightly. “The third floor?” Her voice carried unconcealed surprise. Cameron smiled faintly. “The Nine Dragons Pavilion has nine floors. The higher the floor, the higher the status required to enter.” He glanced upward meaningfully. “The first three floors are only accessible to people with silver membership. The fourth to sixth floors are reserved for people with gold membership.” Lisa looked at him with naked admiration. “Young Master Vance is really incredible.” Even Amelia was impressed. Her Rose Corporation was successful in Cloud City, yet she still did not possess the qualifications to reserve a suite here. Cameron could casually bring guests to the third floor. The disparity in status couldn't be more obvious. "What about the seventh and eighth floors?" Lisa asked curiously. “Only people with diamond membership are allowed access to those floors. Those floors are reserved for the top figures in Cloud City.” Cameron answered in a wistful tone. Lisa's eyes widened further. "And the ninth floor?" Cameron laughed softly. “The Black Dragon Floor?" Even his expression turned extremely respectful when mentioning it. “In the past hundred years, the number of people qualified to enter that floor can supposedly be counted on one hand.” He lowered his voice. “I’ve heard that only people with the legendary Heavenly Dragon Card can set foot onto that floor. The identities of anyone holding that card are not something that we can ever compare to!” Lisa looked dazed. “Thankfully, I managed to secure us a VIP suite on the third floor tonight.” Cameron added casually. “Cameron, you’re incredible! Do you know how many people would kill just to eat here once?” Lisa gushed. Cameron waved his hand modestly, but the smugness in his eyes was impossible to hide. “It’s nothing serious.” Amelia remained silent, but she was quietly impressed. The ability to reserve a VIP suite here was not something to dismiss. At the very least, Cameron was far better than that scoundrel her grandfather wanted her to marry. Amelia unconsciously gnashed her teeth at the thought of Sebastian, but she forced herself to calm down. She would enjoy herself tonight and push all unnecessary thoughts aside. However, before they entered the elevator, Amelia suddenly noticed something strange. The entire hotel lobby seemed unusually busy and was bustling with activity. Staff members moved quickly through the lobby while managers personally supervised preparations everywhere. Several luxurious flower arrangements were being carried inside while security personnel stood far more alert than normal, and even the hotel executives themselves appeared nervous. Amelia blinked. “What’s going on?” Cameron glanced around, then lowered his voice mysteriously. “I heard that the Nine Dragons Pavilion is expecting a very distinguished guest tonight.” Lisa leaned in. “A distinguished guest? What kind of guest would make the Nine Dragons Pavilion this serious?” Cameron lowered his voice slightly. “I heard the guest was personally invited by Isaac Rutherford himself.” Amelia and Lisa froze in shock. Isaac Rutherford? He was one of the most powerful men in Cloud City! A true giant standing at the peak of the city’s elite society! He could crush the entire Lockwood family with just a single word! Anyone personally invited by him would naturally possess an unimaginable identity. What kind of figure could make someone like Isaac Rutherford act so respectfully? Lisa looked completely fascinated now. “Could it be some provincial tycoon?” Cameron shook his head. “It’s probably someone even more important. After all, the hotel has never made preparations on this scale before.” His tone was heavy with admiration. Amelia’s curiosity was quietly stirred as well. Who exactly could command such treatment? At that moment, amidst the bustling crowd in the lobby, Amelia suddenly caught sight of a familiar figure walking calmly toward the entrance. Her eyes narrowed instantly. After all, the familiar figure walking towards the entrance was none other than her fiancé, Sebastian Helios!Latest Chapter

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.

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,

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

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 a
