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.

    When they spotted Alan returning to the hotel alone, seemingly unharmed, they alerted Fujibayashi Masatetsu immediately. At the same time, confusion lingered in their minds. The man looked as if he had merely gone out for a stroll; there was not a single sign that he had fought anyone. Could it be that Fujibayashi Aota had never engaged him?!They thought this way because both believed that even if Fujibayashi Aota was not Alan’s match, he would not be completely helpless.If Aota had met his end, his opponent would surely bear some wounds or injuries. It was impossible for Alan to appear entirely unscathed.Fujibayashi Masatetsu, who had planted multiple listening devices inside Alan’s room, slipped quietly out and spoke to the two men over his walkie-talkie. "Come to my room!"In truth, Alan had sensed the two men’s presence the moment he stepped into the hotel.They had tailed him all the way from Tokyo to Nagoya, and he was already somewhat familiar with the four of them.Seeing t

    With this thought, he quickly sent another message to Fujibayashi Aota. The message contained the number 10, a code meaning urgent—reply immediately.Yet after sending it, there was still no response whatsoever.He waited anxiously for another minute, and still received no reply.All three men wore grim expressions.The third disciple could no longer stay seated. He stood up and said, "Senior brother, we need to go search for him.""Search?" Fujibayashi Masatetsu clicked his tongue. "Where should we look? Aota has not contacted us since we split up. We do not even know which direction to head once we leave the hotel."The second disciple blurted out, "What if something terrible has happened to Aota?"Fujibayashi Masatetsu’s face darkened. "I believe with Aota’s skill, even if he is detected, he can put up a fight. He may not be in mortal danger. It is possible he has already engaged the target."He then ordered, "Second Brother, call Aota."Fujibayashi Masatetsu clung to one last hope

    He stood perfectly still, merely snapping his fingers twice. Two invisible streaks of energy surged forth, gently deflecting the two shuriken darting straight for his face outward.The throwing stars veered aside and whistled past Alan’s body.Fujibayashi Aota turned pale with fright at this uncanny sight. At this moment, he could only pin his hopes on the hidden blades at the tips of his shoes.A gust of wind swept by as his kick reached Alan.Alan’s expression remained calm. He shot out one hand in a flash and seized the man’s ankle in an iron grip.Fujibayashi Aota watched the blade at his toe close to Alan, separated by no more than a few strands of hair. Yet Alan’s strength was overwhelming, stopping him from advancing even a fraction further.Alan let out a cold sneer and spoke with contempt. "You are so fond of stabbing others with short blades. I shall grant your wish and arrange a fitting end to your life."Overwhelmed by terror, Fujibayashi Aota begged desperately. "No! Plea

    Just then, he felt two light taps land on his right shoulder.At that moment, Fujibayashi Aota nearly lost control of his bladder from fright.He lunged forward frantically and twisted around in rage, throwing the two shuriken once more.Once again, he struck nothing but empty air.There was not a trace of anyone behind him.Dumbfounded by terror, Fujibayashi Aota hastily pulled out his final two shuriken.A man’s cold, mocking voice drifted from behind him. "It seems Japanese ninjas are nothing special. What a disappointment."Upon hearing the voice, Fujibayashi Aota was seized with mortal dread.His worst fear had been confirmed.The Chinese man had been here all along and never left.He had not picked up the slightest sound of the man’s breathing or heartbeat this entire time. How could such a thing be possible?!Moreover, the man had tapped his shoulder twice. That meant he had drawn close enough to touch him on two separate occasions, yet Fujibayashi Aota had heard absolutely not

    When Claude heard this, he knew Alan would not allow anyone to follow him. He then said respectfully, "Master Alan, please do not wander too far. Call us if you need anything!"Alan nodded. "Alright, go enjoy yourselves."With that, Alan stepped off alone.Inside a vehicle parked across the street, Fujibayashi Masatetsu’s junior disciple asked him, "Senior brother, should we tail him?"Fujibayashi Masatetsu let out a cold snort. "He has checked into the hotel, so he will definitely return. He cannot escape."Another disciple asked, "Senior brother, are you saying we do not need to follow him?"Fujibayashi Masatetsu replied, "We still need to keep track. I promised Mr. Takahashi that he would not slip out of our surveillance range. Let the Fourth Brother go after him alone. Second Brother and Third Brother will come back to the hotel with me. While they are all out, we will quickly plant bugs in their rooms."A man in his thirties sitting in the backseat immediately spoke up. "Understo

    Michael smiled and said, "There is no need for such formalities, Mr. Takahashi. If our two families can finalize cooperation, we will become strategic partners. The Bruce family holds our strategic partners in high regard. I spoke with my father last night, and he is also concerned about your son’s condition. He told me repeatedly to ask if the Bruce family can be of any assistance. Should Japan’s orthopedic specialists prove inadequate, he can arrange for several top orthopedists to come over from Neon City."Takahashi Masachi replied, overwhelmed by the gesture. "I am truly grateful. If such a need arises, I will not hesitate to reach out to you!"He then sighed and continued, "I deeply admire the Bruce family’s sincere attitude toward partners, and I am even more eager to forge an alliance with you. If we manage to establish a strategic partnership, the Takahashi family will spare no effort and will never fail to live up to the Bruce family’s expectations."Michael nodded faintly w
