Sebastian walked calmly into the Nine Dragons Pavilion with his hands tucked into his coat pockets.

The luxurious lobby was bustling with activity as managers worked meticulously, the atmosphere noticeably tense. It was as though they were waiting for the arrival of someone important.

However, Sebastian paid none of it any attention. He simply walked toward the reception desk.

The pretty receptionist smiled politely. “Good evening, sir. How may I—”

“What the hell! You again?!”

A sharp female voice suddenly cut through the lobby. Several guests who were nearby immediately turned their attention to the commotion.

Sebastian frowned slightly before turning around.

Lisa was already storming towards him in her high heels, her face filled with anger and disbelief. Amelia and Cameron were right behind her, following her at a slower pace.

“You creep!” she snapped furiously. “Why do you keep following us around everywhere?!”

Sebastian took a deep breath, his patience thinning.

“I’m not following you around.” Sebastian replied in irritation.

“Then why are you here?!” Lisa spat back.

“That’s none of your business.” Sebastian replied coldly.

Amelia folded her arms, her cold blue eyes fixed on Sebastian.

“Enough with the act,” she said frostily. “Cloud City isn’t that small. Are you really stalking us?”

“I could ask you the same thing.” Sebastian scoffed. “This is the second time I’ve run into you two today. Are you stalking me?”

“You—!” Amelia blushed angrily. She had never met such an ignorant yet insufferable person before!

She was the CEO of Rose Corporation, a multi-million-dollar company! Why would she need to stalk a mere soldier?!

“Me what?” Sebastian mocked.

Amelia’s face darkened, but before she could continue, Cameron suddenly stepped forward with an arrogant expression on his face.

“Who allowed a rat like you to step inside this building?” Cameron asked coldly as he glared at Sebastian. His eyes swept over Sebastian’s plain military uniform with disgust. It was clear that he didn’t have a good time in the military.

Sebastian narrowed his eyes slightly. “And you are?”

“This is Young Master Cameron Vance. He’s on a completely different level when compared to a peasant like you. The difference between you and him is like the difference between heaven and earth.” Lisa answered disdainfully.

Sebastian scoffed inwardly at her statement. If she knew his real identity, she would know how laughable what she said was.

“I don’t care who he is. He’s just an ant to me.” Sebastian said indifferently.

Cameron’s expression instantly darkened.

“What did you just say?” he asked coldly.

“You heard me.” Sebastian replied indifferently.

“I’ve never seen such an ignorant fool before. This is definitely a surprise. Amelia, how did you even come across this trash?” Cameron laughed angrily.

Sebastian glanced at Amelia briefly, then spoke before she could answer.

“I’m her fiancé.”

The atmosphere turned frigid instantly, and Amelia’s beautiful face flushed red with anger.

“Don’t talk nonsense!” she snapped immediately. “That engagement means nothing! I’ll speak to Grandpa and get it cancelled no matter what!”

However, Cameron’s expression had already turned ugly. He narrowed his eyes slightly, his hands curling into fists.

Fiancé? This lowly soldier was Amelia’s fiancé?

Although he had heard rumors about the Lockwood family arranging a marriage for Amelia, he never expected it to be true. Even worse, her fiancé was actually some nobody. A lowly soldier to boot!

“So you’re the trash the Lockwood family picked for Amelia?” Cameron sneered. “You’re not even qualified to polish my shoes. How dare you shamelessly call yourself her fiancé?”

“He’s just a shameless stalker and pretentious fool.” Lisa added mockingly. “He probably saw Amelia’s beauty and decided to cling to her.”

Sebastian’s expression turned cold. Cameron stepped closer and looked Sebastian up and down disdainfully.

“Listen carefully,” he said arrogantly. “A place like Nine Dragons Pavilion isn’t somewhere a lowly soldier like you can enter. You’ll fit right in standing outside as a security guard instead.”

Before Sebastian could reply, a waiter hurried over after noticing the commotion.

“Young Master Cameron, is there a problem?” the waiter, Simon, asked fawningly.

Cameron immediately pointed at Sebastian with a disgusted look.

“This rat wandered in here and is disturbing the peace of this place. Throw him out.” Cameron ordered coldly.

The waiter immediately turned toward Sebastian. He noticed his plain appearance and saw that he looked completely ordinary. His polite expression disappeared immediately.

“This isn’t a place that trash like you should be causing trouble,” he said coldly. “Please leave immediately.”

“That’s right, you stalker. You better leave right now, or else you’ll be thrown out.” Lisa added mockingly. She disliked Sebastian greatly.

“And why exactly should I leave?” Sebastian asked calmly, but his eyes were as cold as ice.

“That’s because trash like you are not welcome here. People like you only lower the standards of this establishment. You better leave while I’m being nice. If the security gets here, I’ll have you beaten up before throwing you out!” Simon replied coldly.

The commotion caused had already drawn the attention of everyone in the lobby, and they immediately started gossiping.

“Who let him in?” a middle-aged man in an expensive suit glanced at Sebastian’s plain appearance in disgust.

“He’s probably one of those trash that wandered in without knowing his place.” A woman adorned with diamond jewellery said indifferently.

“Hah, look at his clothes,” someone else chimed in. “Can he even afford a glass of water here?”

The mocking whispers grew louder and louder, with several people looking at Sebastian with great contempt.

“This place isn’t somewhere trash like you can enter casually.” Cameron glanced around the magnificent lobby before continuing disdainfully, “The lowest annual spending requirement here starts from hundreds of thousands of dollars. The third floor alone requires connections most people can’t imagine.”

“How can a mere soldier like you ever afford to even step foot inside here?”

Cameron stepped closer to Sebastian.

“Let me give you some important advice. A very important guest invited personally by Isaac Rutherford will be arriving tonight.” Cameron smiled coldly. “If you offend someone like that by causing trouble here, nobody in Cloud City will be able to save you.”

“You better leave now. Or don’t. When the distinguished guest comes, you’ll be thrown out in the most humiliating way possible.” Lisa added arrogantly.

“Sebastian, you better save yourself the trouble and leave now. Don’t even expect my grandpa to clean up your mess. Not even he will be able to save you if you keep causing trouble here.” Amelia added coldly.

Sebastian stared at them calmly and then replied with a cold smile. His reply carried a hint of nonchalance and unhurried composure.

“Oh really? But what if I say the ones in trouble might be you instead?”

    Thirty men.Thirty armed men had been crushed thoroughly in less than a minute. They couldn’t even put up the slightest resistance, and the man responsible for all of it stood calmly in the middle of the alley with a cold expression on his face.Sebastian slowly lifted his gaze and stared at Quide, and that single glance nearly made Quide, the head of a notorious gang, pee his pants.As Sebastian took a step forward, Quide staggered back, only to find his back still against the wall. His earlier arrogance had completely vanished, and the only emotion he was feeling was fear and regret.“H-how…” Quide’s voice shook violently, as though he was being suffocated. “What the hell are you…?”Sebastian didn’t answer. He simply walked toward him. Each footstep he took sounded slow and steady against the frozen ground, but to Quide, it felt like the approach of death itself.“D-don’t come any closer!” Quide shouted instinctively as he pulled out a Glock 19 with trembling hands. “I’ll shoot!”Th

    Quide’s words had barely left his mouth when Sebastian’s expression changed."The Rose Corporation is being attacked?"Quide's smile widened, mistaking the question for concern. "That's right. Your precious fiancée is watching her company burn as we speak. And by the time we're done with you—"Sebastian stopped paying attention to Quide the moment he heard that Amelia’s company was being attacked. A faint crease appeared between his brows, and the indifferent calm in his eyes turned extremely cold.He had no love for Amelia, at least not yet, but she was still his fiancée. She was the woman his father had chosen for him, so she was under his protection, whether she knew it or not.“Boys, finish him!” Quide ordered coldly as he cracked his neck, the scar on his face twisting. “Break his legs slowly. I want to hear him scream.”The thirty men leaped forward at once. They moved with practiced coordination, surrounding him from every direction.The first man swung a steel pipe at Sebastia

    The words hung heavily in the air, and for a brief moment, the entire pharmacy went silent. They both stared at Sebastian with shock, then the pharmacist snapped.“What nonsense!” the pharmacist snarled, his face flushing red with anger. “Do you have any idea what you’re saying?!”His voice rose sharply, breaking the tense silence as he glared at Sebastian with unbridled hostility“Who do you think you are? How dare you interrupt a consultation and spout such baseless claims?”“My claims are not baseless.” Sebastian replied coolly, but his indifference only made the pharmacist more furious.“You ignorant fool!” he barked angrily. “Do you even understand the least thing about medicine? Or are you just talking to hear your own voice?”Evelyn remained silent, but her expression had grown colder. Her sharp eyes rested on Sebastian, studying him carefully. There was no arrogance or attempt to show off in his attitude, only certainty.“On what basis are you making that claim?” Evelyn finall

    The morning light filtered through the panoramic windows of the Rose Corporation headquarters, casting a soft glow across Amelia’s spacious office, with a view of the bustling city stretching endlessly beneath her.Amelia stood by the window with her arms folded, a cold and distant expression on her face. Behind her, Lisa sat comfortably on a plush sofa, a steaming hot cup of coffee in her hand as she spoke with a confident and dismissive tone.“I’m telling you, Amelia, you’re overthinking it,” Lisa said, waving her hand dismissively. “Sebastian? He’s just an ordinary soldier. There’s absolutely no way someone like him owns a card like that.”Amelia didn’t respond immediately. Instead, she furrowed her brows as she replayed the events of the previous night in her mind—the appearance of the Heavenly Dragon Card, Victoria Sterling’s sudden appearance, and the way everything had turned upside down so quickly.Something didn’t add up, but she couldn’t name what.Lisa leaned forward, her v

    Victoria led Sebastian respectfully away from the stunned crowd, paying no attention to their whispers and hushed conversations.They arrived at a gold-plated elevator at the far end of the lobby. Victoria pressed a hidden panel beneath the call button, and the doors slid open instantly, and they stepped inside.The ride was smooth and silent, with Victoria standing just slightly behind him, her eyes fixed on his back. She studied his plain military uniform and saw nothing that suggested his importance.He had no rank, no insignia and no stars, and yet Isaac Rutherford had called her personally and warned her to treat him better than royalty. She couldn’t understand why. Why was he so respectful to an ordinary soldier?A few minutes later, the elevator doors slid open with a soft chime, revealing a private hallway that was lined with thick red carpets and warm golden lighting. At the end of the hallway stood a pair of double doors that was crafted with the finest mahogany, with two un

    A ripple spread through the lobby the moment Victoria Sterling stepped inside.“Victoria Sterling?”“The executive president of the Nine Dragons Group?”“What is she doing here?”The guests who had been gleefully watching the drama unfold couldn’t hide their shock. In Cloud City, Victoria Sterling was not just a beautiful woman—she was a figure that countless elites feared. After all, a single word from her could decide the rise or fall of a company.Amelia’s brows furrowed slightly as she watched the reactions around her. She didn’t recognize Victoria immediately, but from the crowd’s response alone, she could tell this woman’s status was terrifyingly high.Lisa’s expression had also changed. She did not expect that such a powerful figure would appear because of the commotion.While the rest of the crowd were stunned, Cameron’s eyes suddenly lit up. All the earlier frustration and humiliation on his face disappeared, replaced by excitement and anticipation.“Hahaha… this is perfect t
