The Supreme Warlord

Chapter 5

Trevor walked calmly through the falling snow as he held the phone to his ear with a steady hand.

“What is it?” he asked. His tone remained flat and indifferent. However, William did not dare show the slightest displeasure. Instead, his voice became even more respectful and careful.

“I was informed that you arrived in K. City today, so I called to welcome you personally. If Mr. Helios permits it, I can arrive immediately to receive you and make sure everything is perfect for your stay.”

“No. That is not necessary,” Trevor declined instantly without any hesitation. “I do not want unnecessary attention right now.”

William immediately understood what Trevor meant. Someone of his true status appearing personally would undoubtedly cause a huge commotion across the entire Cloud City.

“I understand,” William replied without hesitation. “I will not disturb your peace at all.”

William still vividly remembered the terrifying scene three years ago overseas when everything had changed for him.

At that time, he had been kidnapped by a powerful armed faction while discussing an important business deal abroad.

Just when he thought he was going to die in that dark place, Trevor descended from the sky and slaughtered everyone standing in his path with ruthless efficiency.

That day, rivers of blood flowed without mercy.

Even now, William still trembled whenever he recalled the horrifying scene.

From that moment onwards, William swore that as long as Trevor gave the order, he would obey without hesitation or question.

Trevor hummed faintly in acknowledgment and continued walking through the snowy street while William carefully changed the topic to something lighter.

“Mr. Helios,” Isaac said carefully, “I have already prepared accommodations for you that are worthy of your status.”

Trevor continued walking at a steady pace while listening to the voice on the other end of the phone.

“What accommodations?” he asked directly.

“The top penthouse suite of the Nine Dragons Pavilion,” Isaac quickly continued with great enthusiasm. “I have also prepared a Heavenly Dragon Card for you. With this card, you will have unrestricted access to all the businesses and industries under the entire Nine Dragons Group without any limitations whatsoever.”

Trevor’s expression remained calm and composed as he listened to the generous offer.

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 the entire city. Ordinary wealthy people could barely afford to dine there once in their lifetime. Even people of extremely high status were barely qualified to enter the upper floors of the building.

As for the top penthouse suite, it was practically a symbol of supreme status that very few could ever dream of obtaining.

“Fine,” Trevor replied casually without much excitement in his voice. He needed a place to stay while he handled his matters in Cloud City.

William secretly sighed in relief on the other side of the call.

“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 at the event?”

Trevor frowned faintly at the invitation.

“I am not interested,” he answered plainly.

William hurriedly spoke again to keep the conversation going.

“Mr. Helios, many major families and powerful corporations will be attending the banquet. Perhaps there may even be valuable clues regarding the matter you are investigating in the city.”

Trevor’s eyes darkened slightly as the words sank in.

His father’s death.

That was the true reason he had come to K. City in the first place.

After a few seconds of thoughtful silence, Trevor finally replied in a calm and measured voice.

“I will think about it.”

William's expression brightened immediately with hope and excitement.

“Understood!” he responded enthusiastically.

He wisely did not push further on the topic.

“Is there anything else you require?” William asked cautiously. “As long as I can do it, I won’t hesitate even for a second.”

Trevor narrowed his eyes slightly as he considered the offer.

“Find someone for me.”

“Who?” William asked immediately.

“Micheal Allwell,” Trevor replied without wasting words. “He is a doctor that has been in hiding for over ten years, so finding him will not be easy at all.”

William immediately replied without any hesitation in his voice.

“I will begin searching immediately and use every resource at my disposal.”

“Good.” Trevor nodded with approval.

“I will have someone deliver the items right away,” Isaac informed him respectfully.

“Okay,” Trevor said calmly.

The two exchanged a few more words before ending the call on a positive note.

Merely minutes later, a black Rolls-Royce Phantom slowly pulled up before Trevor, and a middle-aged man in a tailored black suit stepped out and bowed respectfully.

“Mr. Helios, President Kane instructed me to deliver these personally to you.”

He handed Trevor 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.

Trevor 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 nonchalant reaction. Countless wealthy tycoons dreamt of obtaining that card and would have even wept with joy at the sight of it, yet Trevor 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 now?”

Trevor nodded once and stepped into the luxurious Rolls-Royce. The driver closed the door carefully before hurrying back to his seat. The luxury car soon disappeared smoothly into the streets.

Meanwhile, inside the Rose Corporation headquarters, Vivian threw a document onto her desk angrily. Her beautiful face was filled with clear irritation.

“That old man has completely lost his mind!”

Lisa stood nearby holding two cups of coffee. She set one down gently on the desk.

“I still cannot believe that Patriarch Hardwood wants you to marry that guy.”

Vivian's expression instantly turned colder than ice.

“That marriage will not happen no matter what anyone says.”

Lisa nodded immediately in strong agreement.

“Exactly! Only a man like Sturgart is more suitable for you in every way.”

Vivian frowned slightly when she heard Sturgart’s name.

She had never truly liked Sturgart Rod.

Although he came from a wealthy family and constantly pursued her with great effort, his methods were too obvious and calculated.

Lisa sighed helplessly as she watched her boss.

“Vivian, stop being stubborn. You cannot deny that Sturgart has helped the company a lot in recent times.”

“He only helped because he wants something in return,” Vivian replied coldly. She was not a fool and could see through people clearly.

"But he's quite capable," Lisa insisted as she turned to look at Vivian 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 at all."

Vivian remained silent for a moment, but her expression shifted slightly as she recalled the events. She naturally remembered that critical matter very well.

If not for that timely money, her Rose Corporation would have struggled greatly during the acquisition phase of that important project.

"Sturgart invited us to dinner tonight at the Nine Dragons Pavilion. We could use this as an opportunity to thank him properly for his timely help," Lisa suggested with clear enthusiasm.

"Honestly speaking, compared to Sturgart, that Trevor guy is nothing." Lisa sneered. Her voice carried obvious contempt for the man she had met earlier.

Vivian's eyes flickered slightly as she considered the comparison. Although she disliked Sturgart's persistent pursuit, she could not deny the massive gap between the two men in terms of status and capability.

Vivian hesitated slightly. She truly had little interest in Sturgart Vance. However, after thinking carefully about the company's current difficult situation, she finally sighed softly in resignation.

"Fine."

Lisa instantly brightened up with a big smile.

"That's more like it!"

Vivian grabbed her coat coldly and put it on.

"I'm only going because of the company."

Lisa grinned widely in satisfaction.

"That's good enough for now."

Meanwhile, on the other side of the city, a black Rolls-Royce slowly approached the brightly illuminated Nine Dragons Pavilion, its luxurious body gleaming under the lights as it prepared to enter the most exclusive venue in Cloud City.
