A young man, incredibly handsome, as if his face had been sculpted by heaven itself.
With gray eyes and long black hair tied back, he wore a navy blue suit. A radiant and extraordinary aura emanated from him, strangely captivating and mesmerizing everyone around him. His demeanor was even more exceptional, giving people the feeling they were standing in front of heaven itself.
"How boring," Kang Xiang said indifferently, though traces of fatigue could be seen in his eyes.
"Your Excellency, I am deeply sorry. I didn't expect the person who's supposed to marry my sister to be such a clown," Zhao Wei, the elder brother of Zhao Ningan and the eldest son of the Zhao family, quickly bowed and replied in fear upon hearing Kang Xiang's words.
The others only knew this young man to be a noble from the imperial capital and were unaware of his terrifying background.
However, as the one responsible for bringing Kang Xiang here, Zhao Wei was fully aware of how dreadful Kang Xiang's origins truly were.
If the young master became angry, his family wouldn't survive even a day.
"It's fine. I was the one who wanted to come here," Kang Xiang responded indifferently and blinked.
As he blinked, a blue screen appeared before him—a screen visible only to him.

In his childhood, Ye Fan was abandoned by his parents and was accidentally found by one of the Twelve Pillars of the Eternal Academy, who adopted him. Due to personal issues, his master couldn't take him to the academy and had to raise him on a mountain for 18 years.
After 18 years, following his master's orders to gain experience, he descended the mountain. His master handed him a marriage agreement with a girl from the Zhao family, which he had obtained years prior after saving the head of the Zhao family.
Upon seeing Zhao Ning'an, Ye Fan fell in love with her at first sight and swore to the heavens that he would make her his. For a short time, he worked as her personal driver until he reached his current position.
[Note: To kill him, his Luck Value must first be reduced to at least 100.]

'Oh? Heavenly Titan Physique? It seems this noisy fly isn't entirely useless after all,' Kang Xiang's lips curved slightly.
He hadn't expected such a surprise.
The Heavenly Titan Physique, known as one of the top physiques of ancient times, had become extremely rare, almost nonexistent, in the current era of restored spiritual energy.
He didn't expect to find such a heavenly physique in such a small city.
'Now things are getting even more interesting,' a dark light flickered in his eyes.
Zhao Ningan, of course, noticed his faint smile. For some inexplicable reason, seeing that smile made her entire being tremble for a moment, and a dreadful premonition arose in her heart.
"Young Master, shall I kill this insect right now?" On the other side, Zhao Wei, deeply frightened, sought a way to please Kang Xiang.
"Hm?" A trace of interest appeared in Kang Xiang's eyes as he glanced at Zhao Ningan from the corner of his eye, seemingly to observe her expression.
But to his surprise, there wasn't a hint of emotion on her beautiful face. She resembled a tool—completely devoid of feelings.
However, Kang Xiang knew this was merely surface-level. There was no way this girl hadn't been captivated by Ye Fan's ridiculous display.
Of course, it didn't matter much to him. He couldn't care less about her feelings. A mere insect couldn't alter his plans or objectives.
"No need. I heard he's made some friends during his time in this city. If he walks out of here alive tonight, I want him to pay a visit to their graves," Kang Xiang said indifferently.
"Understood, Your Excellency," a smile appeared on Zhao Wei's face.
On the other hand, rage and frustration consumed Zhao Ningan. Her hands and eyelids began trembling.
A devil!
This was the only word that came to her mind to describe this man. He had deliberately said such things in her presence as a warning.
She wasn't a fool and fully understood the warning hidden in his words.
Killing an enemy was easy and boring, but slaughtering everyone close to them, drowning them in anger, depression, and grief—wasn't that much more entertaining?
He was warning her that if she resisted, the same fate awaited her.
Although she felt no romantic love toward Ye Fan, he was still the only person who had stood up to support her.
She couldn't help but feel a slight sense of gratitude toward him.
For that reason, she had to find a way to save Ye Fan and his companions. She didn't want to be the reason for anyone's death.
Biting her lip and after a few seconds of internal struggle, she finally approached the teacup on the table near Kang Xiang and poured him a cup.
"Young Master, here is your tea," she said respectfully, bowing slightly. Due to her posture, her alluring curves and a glimpse of her peach-shaped hips fell within Kang Xiang's direct line of sight.
However, he showed no interest and instead looked at Zhao Ningan with intrigue.
This girl… was exactly as he had imagined.
On the other side, Ye Fan and the others were utterly shocked by this scene. None of them had expected the proud Zhao Ningan to ever bow to anyone.
"Haha, even the prized daughter of the Zhao family must bow before a noble from the imperial capital."
"What did you expect? If it were someone else, they'd have thrown themselves into his arms by now."
"Kang Xiang, you bastard! How dare you?" Ye Fan shouted angrily, his aura surging as he prepared to attack with all his might.
He had fought the young elites of this city several times before, defeating them all, and was confident he could crush Kang Xiang.
"I'll kill you with my own hands!"
"Damn it," the patriarch prepared to intervene, but suddenly, an awe-inspiring and fearsome aura appeared out of nowhere, completely pinning Ye Fan to the ground.
"Hah?"
"…"
Kang Xiang ignored the commotion from the crowd and continued looking at the girl before him with interest.
"Do you love him so much that you're willing to sell yourself?" Kang Xiang asked playfully.
"What do you mean, Young Master? Am I not already your fiancée?" Zhao Ningan, of course, realized what had happened to Ye Fan.
This was the only way to save him.
"Fiancée? Hahaha," Kang Xiang's laughter echoed throughout the hall, drawing everyone's attention.
Zhao Ningan didn't understand what was so funny about her words.
"I never agreed to this engagement. All of this was just your father's idea," Kang Xiang said indifferently.
His words immediately caused the crowd to cast strange looks at the patriarch, whose face turned ugly.
Zhao Ningan also looked at Kang Xiang in shock and disbelief at that moment. Had she truly been rejected?
How was this possible? She was utterly confident in her charm.
All the wealthy second-generation heirs in the city pursued her, yet she didn't even glance at them. But now, this man, even when she was offered to him for free, had rejected her?
She couldn't believe it! Absolutely not!
Kang Xiang, of course, understood what she was thinking. He stood up and leaned into her ear, whispering his final words in a way that no one else could hear.
"If I loved you, or even cared about you, that foolish fly wouldn't still be alive. Someone I love is mine alone."
"And in return, I belong only to the one I love. In other words, I would give the world to the person I love."
"But sorry, you're not that person."
After that, Kang Xiang walked past her, leaving her in her thoughts, and approached Ye Fan.
