Lacey's face instantly drained of color, and fear surged through her like a tidal wave as she stared at Kendall.

Could the man in front of me really possess such terrifying power and influence?

After all, her boss was a well-known and powerful figure in Plus City—someone whom everyone in their world treated with respect. Yet here was someone daring to act so arrogantly!

Before Lacey could collect herself, less than a minute later, a portly middle-aged man rushed out of the back office in a panic.

The moment he saw Kendall, he took two steps at a time and approached with a forced smile,

He said, "Mr. Kendall! If you had informed me in advance, I could have gone to the door to greet you!"

Before his words faded, a sharp "slap" rang out as Kendall landed a resounding slap across the man’s face.

"Who do you think you are?!" he roared furiously.

Your clerk dared to be rude to the young master—do you want to lose your life?

Kendall knew his young master had endured too much suffering over the past decade.

Now, seeing even a lowly clerk disrespect him ignited a blazing fury within him.

The middle-aged man staggered from the blow. He was about to show a wronged expression, but upon hearing those words, he felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar, his blood freezing in his veins.

Kendall’s young master? Good heavens—Kendall was already a towering figure in their world;

his young master must be someone akin to a god!

His legs trembled uncontrollably as he turned to look at Alan beside Kendall.

Although this young man in front of me looks ordinary, even Kendall calls him young master!

The thought sent cold sweat down the man’s back, his heart nearly leaping out of his throat.

He hunched over immediately, wearing a sycophantic grin as he said to Alan, "Young master, I deeply apologize! Please accept my humble apologies!"

Immediately, he spun around, his face contorted with ferocity.

He roared menacingly, "Which blind fool dared to offend the young master? Get out here at once!"

The (sales assistants) around all turned their eyes towards Lacey.

Lacey was filled with panic and instinctively wanted to step back.

But before she could move, the portly middle-aged man had rushed forward in a flash.

He grabbed her collar and slapped her hard. The slap made Lacey's head ring.

"You're a reckless wretch! How dare you provoke the young master! You're blind as a bat!"

The slap sent Lacey crashing to the ground. She cried and begged for mercy, "Boss, I was wrong! Please spare me this time!"

However, the portly middle-aged man was unmoved. He grabbed Lacey's hair and rained punches down on her face like a flurry of raindrops.

One punch after another, blood spurted from Lacey's face.

With a "crack", the nose she had just had done was broken.

Several of her teeth were knocked out, and her once delicate face was now a bloody mess.

Lacey struggled to crawl over to Alan and grabbed his leg with a trembling hand.

She cried out, "Young master, I really know I was wrong. Please spare me!"

Alan's eyes were cold, and his tone was emotionless, "You brought this upon yourself."

Seeing this, the portly middle-aged man turned pale with fright.

He rushed over and kicked Lacey hard, sending her flying.

He roared angrily, "How dare you touch the young master's leg?"

The kick was so powerful that Lacey rolled her eyes and fainted.

The portly middle-aged man turned to the security guards and ordered, "Throw this snobbish wretch into the garbage dump at the back!"

The security guards didn't dare to be negligent. They dragged Lacey away in a hurry.

Alan looked at the portly middle-aged man expressionlessly and said calmly, "My wife likes that jade. Wrap it up."

The portly middle-aged man bowed obsequiously and smiled apologetically, "Sure thing! I'll wrap it up for you right away!"

Alan took out his black card and said, "Pay."

Then he turned to Kendall and said, "Take the money back."

The portly middle-aged man quickly waved his hands and said, "Young master! Consider this jade as my tribute to you. Please accept it!"

Alan said indifferently, "No need."

The portly middle-aged man was so anxious that cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

He continued to curry favor, "Young master, this is just a small token of my respect. Please accept it!"

Kendall also tried to persuade him from the side, "Young master, since he sincerely wants to apologize, you should accept it. Otherwise, he'll feel uneasy."

Alan pondered for a moment and nodded slightly, "All right then. Thank you."

Seeing that Alan finally accepted the jade necklace, the portly middle-aged man heaved a sigh of relief and secretly rejoiced that he had escaped a great disaster.

He knew very well that with Kendall's power, if Alan didn't accept the gift, he was afraid that he would really be in big trouble.

At this time, Kendall said, "Young master, do you need us to send a car to escort you?"

Alan rubbed the velvet box of the jade necklace in his pocket, shook his head and chuckled, "No need. Take me through the staff passage."

He deliberately avoided the crowd, not wanting the aftermath of this farce to cause any more commotion.

The street outside the Ailia Jewelry Store was already packed.

The onlookers were really amazed today!

A fleet of Rolls-Royces had brought five million dollars just to buy a piece of jade.

As a result, the boss of the Ailia Jewelry Store didn't even dare to take the money!

Who on earth was that unremarkable young man?

Many people uploaded the video online, and it immediately went viral.

It exceeded fifty million views in just three hours.

Netizens one after another called this mysterious person a "super rich second generation", a "domineering CEO" and a "super wealthy person".

It also launched an activity of "searching for the super wealthy person", and countless people actively participated in it.

Every detail became a hot topic of discussion. But the isolation belts set up in advance by the bodyguards worked.

Alan in all the videos was just a blurred figure, which instead made this urban legend even more mysterious.

After leaving the Ailia Jewelry Store, Alan didn't go home immediately.

He wanted to give his wife a complete surprise on their wedding anniversary.

This surprise is not just a jade necklace. He also wants to hold a wedding for his wife.

Back then, Alan and Mia got their marriage certificate in a hurry, and they didn't have a wedding.

His grandfather was seriously ill and was admitted to the hospital, so the wedding had been postponed.

Later, Grandpa died. No one in the Mill family thought highly of Allen, so the wedding was never held.

But now that he was rich, he definitely wanted to give his wife a wedding!

When thinking about holding a wedding, the first place that came to his mind was the "City in the Sky" in the Ritz-Carlton.

The Ritz-Carlton Hotel was currently the best hotel in Plus City.

The hotel covered a large area, and its decoration was extremely luxurious.

Moreover, there was a very large and high-end shopping mall inside.

The "City in the Sky" was located on the top floor of the shopping mall.

It was called the "City in the Sky" because it was entirely built with crystal glass.

The flowers were air-transported from abroad, and it looked like a crystal castle floating in the air.

This place was also the grandest and most luxurious banquet hall in the whole Plus City.

Holding a wedding here would cost at least one million dollars.

Now he expects me to lift the Smith Family to new heights? It is nothing but a fool’s fantasy!Kendall nodded and said, Young Master, the patriarch’s actions were indeed excessive, yet you need not let anger consume you.

    With that, Kendall heaved a sigh and went on. But even when your father was a young man, foreign trade carried out by domestic entrepreneurs remained largely unchanged from the Tang and Song dynasties, lacking any sophisticated expertise. Meanwhile, Europeans and Americans had mastered cross-border finance to perfection—stocks, futures, oil, gold, private equity funds, hedge funds, venture capital; these were their core trump cards back then.While Asian nations were slaving away manufacturing goods to trade overseas and scrape together profits bit by bit, Western hedge funds flooded Asia with massive hot money, wreaking havoc everywhere. They could trigger financial crises and legally seize the fruits of an Asian country’s labor accumulated over years, even decades, sending its finance, stock market and real estate market crashing down all at once.Back then, the Field Family set their sights on exploiting major domestic clans.

    As the chief steward of the Smith Family, Kendall was an influential figure in Neon City. Save for the handful of top-tier clans, the patriarchs of all other families treated him with the utmost deference. Thanks to his standing, his teahouse thrived, drawing crowds of prominent socialites who came to patronize the place.When Alan arrived at Huguang Guild Hall, Kendall had already gotten there ahead of him.He waited personally at the entrance, and his jaw dropped the moment he saw Alan accompanied by a woman wearing a face mask.Having operated deep within Neon City’s elite circles for years, Kendall possessed an extraordinary eye for detail. He recognized at a single glance that the masked woman beside Alan was none other than Juliet, the heiress of the Austin Family.Overwhelmed with delight, he exclaimed excitedly, Young Master, Miss Juliet! What a surprise to see the two of you together!Juliet let out a soft chuckle. Uncle Kendall, I disguised myself this well, yet you still sa

    The rest of the clan chimed in one after another, their reasoning plain and simple: Alan had grown up in humble circumstances and was simply unworthy of the eldest young lady of the Bruce Family.Domingo wore a sneering look as he spoke. Father, even though Alan is Second Brother’s son, he’s exactly what young people nowadays call a nobody. How could such a man ever compare to a peerless beauty like Louise?Seeing every single person speaking out in opposition, the old Smith patriarch let out a cold snort and said, Do any of you know that Louise’s mother—the eldest daughter-in-law of the Bruce Family—once would have died for John? She chased after him relentlessly for years. If John had given her his consent back then, she would have become the second daughter-in-law of the Smith Family. Even now, she visits John’s grave to pay her respects every single year. Do any of you understand what it means to love someone so much that you grow fond of everything connected to them?His words se

    That’s right, Gaston, Alan’s male cousin, cut in. I’ve crossed paths with Louise from the Bruce Family before. She’s an icy, reserved woman who rarely attends social events. Countless high-society galas at home and abroad have sent her elaborate invitations, yet she’s turned every single one down. Courting her would be next to impossible. On top of that, I already have a formal engagement. If I pursued her, the Bruces would see right through my ulterior motives.Wendell, the eldest son of Domingo—the third brother and one of Alan’s younger cousins—could not hide his eagerness as he spoke up. Grandfather, let me give it a try!Mitchell glanced at his nephew, whose features were plain and unremarkable, and shook his head. Wendell, the Bruce Family already stands stronger than us. Even Gaston, our eldest grandson, might not be deemed worthy in their eyes—what chance do you have?Domingo’s tone turned sour. Eldest brother, there’s no need to speak like that.

    Alan patted the back of her hand and smiled. That’s just how life is—one must stand firm through extreme highs and crushing lows. If a person is showered with flattery their entire life, they may never grasp the cruelty of the world or the hardships ordinary people endure. Such a person will likely suffer a devastating loss someday. Unlike me, I’ve seen all the warmth and coldness of humanity ever since I turned eight. All those experiences are an invaluable asset for the rest of my life.Juliet nodded softly, big teardrops sliding down from the corners of her eyes.Her heart ached deeply for the life Alan had led over the past decade and more. Even though he spoke of it so casually, every time she thought about his past, a lump would form in her throat.He was the young heir of the Smith Family, yet he’d been cast adrift in Plus City, suffering through the harshest hardships of society’s lowest rung.
