“Well, you are silly! Alright, you serve it. You have pretty rough skin, so you won’t get burnt.”“Yeah, yeah, I’m just an ox, I won’t be fazed by the hot temperature.”Alex picked up the plate and walked out of the kitchen. He could hear Maya’s light chuckles behind him. But, he didn’t hear her mumble to herself later on. “This is fine. I’m happy that I get to see you every day like this.”After dessert, Brittany, Maya, Chloe and Nicholas started discussing about the new company.Alex could tell that Maya didn’t just resign to accompany Brittany, she wanted to help her out in the new company as well. Yet again, there’s a possibility that Brittany was the one who invited Maya along.Alex wasn’t interested in the business field, hence he made up an excuse to do some research on the Yowells’ Slunce Jauda. It was still flawed after all.Half an hour of researching later, Alex clenched a piece of cloth into his hand and activated his Chi.As he released his grip, the cloth had turne

“What? Died?“How did he die?” Alex was extremely shocked. He almost jumped out of his seat.The truck driver, Anthony Pattingson was the most important lead to the truth about the accident. If he died, then that would mean they had lost their lead.“I went there just to confirm it. They said that he tried escaping and ended up electrocuting himself. His whole body was charred, I even have photos of his corpse. Would you like to see?”Alex nodded.Waltz then scrolled through her phone to find the picture. The corpse really was charred black, it was almost impossible to recognize him.“That’s not right.” Alex shook his head.“Not right?” Waltz turned to Alex. “Is this not Anthony Pattingson?”“No, it is him, but the cause of death isn’t electrocution.”Others would not be able to notice if Anthony had been electrocuted or murdered. However, Alex was not like the average person—he was equipped with the ultimate knowledge of medicine. Just by looking at the picture, he could tell

Alex signalled towards downstairs, and Waltz immediately caught on to his message.The Rockefellers were on edge after all. Who knows when they’re going to send over hitmen again? Alex needed to make sure that Brittany was absolutely safe before leaving. Comment by Melisa Chan: not sure if this should be past or present?Due to Claire’s incident, Alex had to rush out this morning as well, leaving Brittany alone at home. This had already made him quite uneasy. And with Anthony’s death, he couldn’t bring himself to turn a blind eye to it.“I’ll make another call.” Waltz smiled.This time, Waltz called Azure.“Alright, Azure would be here in a bit. He’s bringing a few of our men to protect this place too.”Alex furrowed his eyebrows. “Don’t cause too much of a ruckus. My mom might not like that I’m in contact with people from Thousand Miles Conglomerate.”Waltz turned around and glared at him. “What’s wrong with Thousand Miles Conglomerate? Are you looking down on us?”Alex deci

“What?” “This one is missing a leg! It won’t even stand upright, what use could it be?” Waltz spoke up, visibly confused.Alex’s eyes lit up and replied calmly, “It’s the heaviest.”Waltz was speechless. “I guess we’re buying the scrap metal then. Hey, Tobias, my brother wants the shabbiest one. What’s your price? Weigh it and get this over with.”Alex smiled without saying a word, he was extremely excited.The shabby alchemy stove may be missing a leg, but it was the best out of the three. He could feel a slight flow of energy within the stove. This indicates that this shabby stove could be a mystical object.Tobias smiled. “Ms. Fleur, if your brother likes it, he can just take it, I won’t ask for money! This thing was a waste of space anyway. I would’ve thrown it out if the base wasn’t still intact.”“Okay, I’ll be taking it then.”The stove wasn’t big, yet it was quite heavy.However, such weight was nothing to Alex.Just as they were leaving the store, someone barged in

She was wearing an expensive Chanel outfit, paired with an LV purse as well. She looked just like any other rich lady. She was clinging to a man, though the man was no longer the one he saw the last time. Instead, this time he was a greasy old man in his 40s.However, this was quite normal for Chloe—she could move on from one man to another with great speed.Just then, Chloe noticed Alex as well.Startled, she immediately put on a smug face and glared at him angrily.She had been slapped multiple times back in L.G. Balfour and put the blame on Alex completely. She later heard that Alex was only able to buy jewellery due to Thousand Miles Conglomerate owing a favor to his father. He was still the loser that relied on the Assexes after all.Why would she be scared of him now, then?She immediately said out loud, “Alex, why are you here? You useless loser of a sissy! Are you trying to get yourself a cheap deal? Can you even afford them?”Alex was expressionless. “What concern is th

It was normal for someone like Chloe to not recognize Waltz.Besides, Ryan, who claims that he’s the manager of Thousand Miles Conglomerate didn’t recognize her as well. Waltz was Lex’s goddaughter after all—Princess Fleur of Thousand Miles Conglomerate—hence, only the core members in Hell’s Angels were able to meet Waltz.Ryan, on the other hand, was just one of the insignificant managers within Thousand Miles Conglomerate’s many companies.Tobias was fully aware of Waltz’s identity.However, he didn’t want to speak up. No one would listen to a chubby man like him anyway. Thus, he just stood silently in the crowd, watching Chloe dig her own grave. He couldn’t help but put on a cold smirk—he knew he was in for a good show.‘This is so exciting!’Waltz was furious as she took five steps forward.However, the crowd was oblivious to Waltz’s identity as well. Under Chloe’s influence, they foolishly insulted Waltz...“I really didn’t expect this gorgeous girl to be working in a nigh

The leader approached them and stared at Ryan.Ryan, on the other hand, had already prepared his worker tag for identification. The leader of the group yelled, “So who was the one with the balls to break our fellow manager’s leg? Own up to it now and I’ll just break one of yours. If not, you’ll have to bear further consequences.”Chloe couldn’t hold in her anger anymore. She pointed at Waltz. “It was her, that b*tch of a prostitute! She broke my husband’s leg and knocked my teeth out! Beat her up now! Lock her up in a cage! Humiliate her in public! Just do something!”The group of men looked towards Waltz and were stunned.“Ms…”“It was me,” Waltz said dismissively without even lifting her gaze.The leader was sweating cold bullets.Ryan may not recognize Waltz. But, the leader was one of the members in the underground association. How could he not recognize her?‘This was truly a big mistake on Ryan’s end due to his unfamiliarity with Waltz… No, his wife called Princess Fleur

Waltz disliked being put in the spotlight in such a way. She pulled Alex to the side. “Let’s go, Brother! I heard stone gambling is highly risky. And to be honest, you don’t need any more money. What’s so great about this anyway? Let’s just get those pills done!”‘Pills?’ Taken out of context, many people misunderstood her words.Everyone stared at the two puzzledly. Could it be that Princess Fleur from Thousand Miles Conglomerate was that type of person?However, no one dared to speak up against her.Alex shook his head. “I’d like to buy some for fun.”Waltz waved dismissively. “Fine, have some fun then. Which one would you like? I’ll get it for you.”‘Tsk tsk, just look at her, isn’t she just wife material?’The men in the area took glances at Alex—they were extremely jealous of him.Apart from Waltz’s status, her appearance was just ethereal compared to most women. As someone who was able to win Waltz’s heart over, they figured that Alex must be of high status and quite re
