The king looked at Alex and exhaled.
Then he tried comparing Alex to the son of another City Lord whom he was going to bring to his daughter, Layla, as a cultivation partner.
After doing his comparison from all that he had heard about Alex, he concluded that Alex was truly hundred times better than the City Lord's son.
And when he looked at him, Alex didn't adopt any arrogant posture.
Instead, he was humble before him. When he could be way arrogant and disrespectful since he had an extremely powerful uncle who was tremendously wealthy to the point that the wealth of his older brother, the City Lord, would possibly not match up to one-fifth of the immense wealth that he possessed.
The king exhaled once again.
He was starting to force himself to accept Alex.
