"Sure!" Chad agreed without thinking, but Youlee could tell he was just humoring her."You're not sincere at all. Forget it. I'm not done playing yet!" Youlee said as she got out of the bath, wrapped herself in a robe, and started getting dressed, but Chad pulled her back."Hey, what are you doing? Mmm..." Youlee struggled playfully, but Chad kissed her. After a long time, they separated, both breathing heavily.Chad looked at Youlee, her face flushed red. "You know how I feel about you.""Pfft, does it matter? Didn't you marry Matilda?" Youlee laughed scornfully as she continued getting dressed, then seemed to remember something."Do you know why I came here?" Chad shook his head.Youlee, while fixing her clothes, lay down on the bed and stared at the ceiling."My fiancé came."Splash! Chad stood up from the bath abruptly. Seeing Chad's shocked expression, Youlee laughed happily.Chad asked, "Didn't your grandfather send people to kill Magnum?"Youlee smiled bitterly and sho
Youlee turned around in Chad's arms, smiling playfully. "Save it!""Why?""After what happened 70 years ago, Fearsome Mountain isn't what it used to be. I can handle it! But..." Youlee said confidently, "At the Long family's appraisal event, my other two fiances will be there, too. If you go, all four of you will be together."Chad understood what Youlee was planning as he watched her mischievous smile."You want to deal with all three simultaneously, so I—""You're the father of my child. I'll say I'm pregnant, and the child is yours!" Youlee said playfully, leaving Chad stunned."Why did the old man arrange so many marriages for you?" Chad asked."Karamon doesn't allow failure. As a woman of Karamon, I must marry the most powerful family heir at the time. That's the reason."Chad fell silent. If that were the case, Magnum from the Davidson family would be the best choice. Unfortunately, Youlee did not like Magnum, and Magnum had hurt Youlee, so it could not work out.Youlee
With an air of arrogance, Leonard coldly remarked, "This is Haron City. You'd better not act recklessly, country bumpkin!"Darius patted his round belly and went straight to the door of another suite, opening it.That floor had two suites—one exclusively for Marshawn and the other for Terry. However, both suites were rarely used and were prepared for important guests.Of course, only guests with a close relationship with them could stay in those suites.Darius glanced at them. "Let's all come in and have a meeting."Rachel entered with a smile, scanning the suite. "Uncle, what are your thoughts?"Leonard said, "Dad, I think there's no need for a meeting. I just need shares and annual dividends. I'll need a lot of money for my training in the future, especially for the pills."Feeling out of place, Manny interjected, "Why would we need a meeting? I'm the most qualified to inherit everything. All of this should be mine!"Before he could finish, the sound of a sword rang out, and
Rachel was taken aback. "Are you talking about that person named Chad?""Yes!" Leonard said earnestly, "He's not simple, and there's a scent of blood on him like he's just been through a massacre. I suspect Grandpa—"He did not finish his sentence, but everyone knew what he wanted to say, and their faces turned grim."Chad, Chad..." Darius seemed to be recalling something, and upon seeing Rachel nod in confirmation, he smiled. "I remember who he is now. He's from the mysterious Jennings family of healers. Dad once took him as a disciple.""Grandpa's disciple?" Leonard was stunned.Rachel suddenly realized it. "No wonder he could stay in Grandpa's suite. Every time Grandpa's disciples come, they're arranged to stay there. It's not surprising that this kid could stay there."They did not notice Manny quietly making some moves on the side as they chatted.Manny lit an odorless and tasteless incense, inserting it in an inconspicuous corner. Then, Manny found a bedroom to hide in. Th
Chad almost lunged at the screen, only to see Dark Phoenix, who had suddenly appeared, carrying Leonard out of the suite.Other surveillance cameras' footage did not indicate how Dark Phoenix entered the suite."How did she suddenly appear?"No one could answer Chad's question. The surveillance footage showed Dark Phoenix simply appearing out of thin air.Suddenly, Maurice sighed in relief and exclaimed, "That was a close call!""I almost forgot—Leonard is from the Celestial Mountains. If he dies, the entire Williams Group will face retaliation!"There were three major ancient sects, two of which were the Celestial Mountains and Pernier. They had a long history and considerable power.They shared a common characteristic—no matter how badly their disciples behaved outside, they could not be killed by outsiders. If someone dared to do so, it would lead to endless retaliation."I'll go see how she's going to leave!" Maurice said, pulling up the footage from all the elevator survei
"It's nothing. Just rest well. We'll go back to Bloomington tomorrow.""Okay!"Marilyn agreed, closed the door, and took off her bathrobe, revealing the black nightwear she had underneath.A strange rune on the back of her hand flickered a few times, and her figure vanished, disappearing from the doorway.She reappeared, lying on her bed. She then covered her head with the blanket and made a phone call under the covers. She did that because she suspected there were surveillance cameras in the room."I'm Dark Phoenix. Send a representative from the Zenith Organization to Williams Tower in Haron City immediately."Then, Marilyn hung up the phone and gave herself some treatment under the covers.She had been poisoned when she broke into the other room earlier.Fortunately, the rune on the back of her hand had instantly transported her out of the suite, or she would have ended up like Leonard.Meanwhile, Chad was in the living room, feeling something was off.He recalled meeting
The smiles on those three beauties vanished, but Chad still raised his phone and took a few photos for them, then handed the phone back.The three women made no hostile moves toward Chad throughout the process.Ding!As the elevator door opened and Chad stepped out, the three blonde women collapsed.Several needles were embedded in their bodies.Chad had acted when they asked him to take the photo.Soon after, Maurice's men appeared in the elevator to collect the bodies. They also found several pistols on the women.When Chad got into the car arranged by Maurice, his phone rang.Maurice said, "We just received news that many assassins have arrived in Haron City. The three women in the elevator were sent to confirm your location."Without hesitation, Chad replied, "Don't worry about it. Let them follow me!"Chad intended to eliminate them all in the underground passages, no matter how many people came.The car soon arrived at Cultural Street. Chad got out at the entrance of t
The Weasel family's shamans were especially formidable, being the most difficult to deal with. The weasels were vengeful creatures.Even if only one were angered, a pack of them would seek revenge.Weasels also fed on snakes. In northeastern Hacniane, they were known as the animals that swallowed dragons."Today, the three of us from the Weasel family will deal with him personally. We just hope he'll show up!""After killing that guy, it'll be a feast for our guardian immortals!"Chad stopped and listened carefully. Apart from Willow, he could hear at least three other people inside.So, Chad moved cautiously, bypassing the last bend, and saw the cave where the Lord Second resided.Three lean men stood outside the cave, each with a white-haired weasel perched on their shoulders. At a glance, they all seemed to be wearing white fur collars.At that moment, Lord Second's body had returned to its original size, but he had not yet woken up.According to Chad's estimation, even wit
