His Lordship Alexander Kane

Guided by two security guards, Frank stood at the doorway of the office on the top floor. He rubbed his knees that had gone sore from kneeling before cautiously pushing the door open.

It felt like a nervous university graduate attending their first job interview.

“Mister Kane, Miss Chesire, | apologize for the intrusion. Please forgive me,” he said, carefully choosing his words despite knowing that Alexander was the son-in-law of the Chesire family and Amber’s husband.Belongs © to NôvelDrama.Org.

He slowly raised his head, finally seeing Alexander’s face. Shock overtook his face instantly.

In his desperate plea to the Redwine family, he knelt in the lobby of the office building every day. waiting. Unfortunately, he had never seen Alexander’s true face up until this moment.

To his surprise, Alexander was remarkably young, only a few years older than himself.

It was hard to imagine that this peer, not much older than him, not only created the forbidden territories of Ol‘ Mare and Zabaleta but also killed his younger brother, Owen. Alexander even killed nine Grandmasters and instilled fear in the three major families.

At this moment, Alexander and Amber were sitting on the reception sofa in the office, appearing like any ordinary young couple. If there were any differences, it was in their eyes.

Alexander’s eyes were slightly brighter than others, but aside from that, there was nothing unusual

“Are you done staring at me?” From the moment Frank entered, Alexander had been staring into his eyes. He said softly. “I'll allow you to say three sentences. You have one minute, starting now.”

Frank’s heart trembled. He immediately bowed and clasped his hands in a respectful gesture.” Thank you, Mister Kane, for giving me this opportunity.”

“That’s the first sentence.” As Alexander said this, he slowly raised one finger, his face devoid of expression. “You have two more sentences.”

Frank’s face stiffened for a moment, then quickly returned to normal. Taking a deep breath, he spoke slowly and deliberately. “All hundred—and-three members of the Redwine family swear allegiance to you and are willing to be your workhorses, with no regrets for life!”

“Very clever, very decisive.” Alexander laughed after a few seconds. He looked at Frank with a playful gaze. “Impressive performance. Now, you can say a few more sentences.”

Maintaining his posture on the ground, Frank’s voice became even more respectful. “My two

brothers offended you, Mister Kane, causing more harm than good. They've placed the Redwine family in an inevitable situation of death.

“| don’t know how strong you are, but | do know that unless the entire Redwine family surrenders, there is only one path— annihilation. This is the only chance for the Redwine family, and it's my

only chance!

“| hoped to become your representative in the North, wishing for your success!”

This time, Alexander genuinely smiled.

“You're intelligent, ambitious, and brave. Unfortunately, you’ve overestimated the Redwine family and, more importantly, yourself.”

He looked down at Frank, faintly smiling. “Using me to seize the position of the Redwine family head, using my name to swallow up other northern families, and seeking my help when facing

formidable enemies?

“Your plan sounds good, but have you forgotten one crucial thing? Why would | help you?” Frank’s head buzzed, cold sweat breaking out on his forehead. All his scheming had been completely exposed by Alexander.

I

|...” He knelt on the ground, his mind racing, and finally gritted his teeth. “I dare not deceive you, Mister Kane. Indeed, that’s my plan: using the Redwine family as a foundation, growing and expanding, like a dragon soaring.

“| want to be like Roslyn and become your right-hand man, a hero in the North. Apart from this. |

have no ulterior motives.”

Alexander remained indifferent. Judging any other ulterior motives based solely on Frank’s words was impossible. It was certain that if Frank had been in charge of the Redwine family from the beginning, it would not have fallen into its current state.

“Your one minute is up.” Alexander withdrew his gaze, picked up the tea on the coffee table, and said. “The Redwine family can survive, and you can leave alive. Just don’t let me see any member of your family in the Zabaleta and Ol Mare regions.

“Now, get lost!”

Frank did not dare to linger for even a second longer. He quickly got up from the ground and wiped the sweat from his forehead. He bowed deeply to Alexander and Amber, and he briskly

walked toward the office door.

Just as he was about to leave, his steps hesitated slightly. He turned, bowing once again, his voice firm. “Mister Kane, | will prove my capabilities. Just like Roslyn, | am definitely qualified to

be your representative in the North.”

After speaking, without any further delay, he turned and swiftly departed. “Alexander?”

Amber, who had remained silent until Frank disappeared, finally spoke softly. Leaning against Alexander’s chest, she blinked and asked, “Why does he think he can be compared to Roslyn? Are there many girls with both talent and beauty like Roslyn in the world?”

Alexander chuckled silently, gently kissing Amber’s forehead. His gaze seemed a bit trance-like.

Talent and beauty combined, with intelligence and strategic prowess. Of course, there were girls like that, but there was indeed one who could match Roslyn, or perhaps even exceed her. That was Callie Xanthos.
