"Pray? Do you mean you want me to kneel?"Fred frowned."That's right.""Are you doing this on purpose?"Fred was enraged to hear that.The bodyguard's expression turned grim, and he looked like he was about to attack Flynn."Try it if you believe me. You can forget about it if you don't!"Flynn had made his decision and decided not to bother much with these two men.All he did was reply to them coldly.However, Fred had always held a high social status and could not do it. He thought about it and ordered his bodyguard, "Go! Kneel to that figurine!"The bodyguard was not happy about this, but he could not disobey the order. He gave it some thought and went to the figurine. Before he knelt, he turned back to Flynn to give him a warning."Remember, brat! If you dare trick us, I'll tear your head off!"Flynn ignored him. All he did was place the figurine on the table and check the inscription carved onto it."Great warrior, I admire you a lot, but if you're helping conmen lik
"Help! I'm convinced now!"That was when Flynn kicked Fred away from the pot in delight. Fred was saved from this 'harm'.After that, he laughed and said, "My figurine works. Do you believe me now?""I was just joking with you. What about my girlfriend? How about my father? Why did it only fulfill my third wish? I don't think it's as powerful as you claim it to be. I'm not wasting any more time with you. I'll take the figurine, but I'll pay you only if it works, understand?"Fred got up from the ground in a disheveled state. He was not being honest about this."Fine. Take it with you."Flynn did not care about Flynn's words and gave the figurine to him."Hmph! I'll be back tomorrow!"Fred grunted coldly and left with the figurine.Flynn watched him leave and did not stop him.…"Hey, why did your figurine crack further?"Fred returned early the next morning before Flynn had even opened his shop. He had brought along the same bodyguard from before.However, there were troub
Bald rushed in and took one look at Flynn, and his murderous intent flared up. However, when he noticed Fred and the bodyguards, he hesitated."Who the hell are you? You dare come buy things here? Are you looking to die too?"Flynn immediately grabbed the statue on the table, ready to bash Bald's head in. But when Fred saw his sacred statue being lifted, he quickly demanded, "What's going on?""What's going on? Who the hell are you? Don't you know this place is set for demolition? Get the hell out, or I'll beat you up too!"Bald, who was unaware of who Fred was, swung a slap at him."You son of a—"The bodyguard understood his boss' thoughts and was instantly furious. He stepped forward quickly and raised his hand, delivering a resounding slap that sent Bald sprawling to the floor. His face turned from red to blue in an instant.Bald now looked utterly disheveled.Seeing this, the other thugs hesitated momentarily and were about to charge. However, the bodyguard then barked at
"Spiritual energy! There's spiritual energy here. The project manager specifically instructed us to take this place," Bald finally confessed, but he quickly looked troubled. "But now it's all gone!"Fred was in a bind. Before last night, he would never have believed in this kind of thing, but now, he was not so sure. If there really was spiritual energy here, his father would definitely go to any lengths to acquire this place. Yet now, he needed help from the shop's owner, so Fred was unsure how to proceed.Seeing Fred's hesitation, Flynn was about to speak up. Just then, Chase's voice finally broke through.The voice was only audible to Flynn."Flynn, your grandfather is gone now, and your strength is still low. I suggest you take the demolition compensation, find a place to train, and return when you're stronger.""But what about the spiritual energy revival?" Flynn was not dumb. This was not the first time Chase had appeared, and Flynn had clearly grown accustomed to Chase's
"How was it, master? Are you satisfied?" Fred asked Flynn politely once the men had scrambled out."As long as the demolition goes smoothly, it's fine. This house was entrusted to us, after all. Not offering any demolition compensation would be disrespectful to the souls beneath the ground," Flynn replied, trying to sound profound.He felt a rush of satisfaction, though his words carried a hint of pretense. Inside, he thought, "This just feels amazing."Fred nodded thoughtfully at Flynn's words, then after a moment, he spoke up again, "Master, I called my girlfriend, and she agreed to talk with me. What should I do now?"Even asking Flynn about personal matters like this showed how much Fred trusted Flynn's guidance."Do you know where your girlfriend lives?" Flynn pondered for a moment before responding seriously."No, I don't.""Boss, our finance department has her ID information!" The bodyguard, quick-witted as ever, immediately remembered a useful lead."Oh, right!" Fred ex
Bald's eyes flickered, perhaps recalling his previous beatings. However, he quickly pulled out a document and waved it in the air, shouting with confidence, "The contract's signed! You're still not leaving? Do you want another beating?""Tomorrow! We'll leave tomorrow!" Seeing the document, Flynn made up his mind and stood firm."No! Leave now! And you, little girl, I'll have you under me soon," Bald said, leering at Celeste in a vile manner as his eyes lingered on her sensitive areas.This look enraged Flynn, whose youthful vigor surged."Get lost!" Celeste yelled angrily, puffing out her chest.However, Bald suddenly lunged forward and grabbed Celeste tightly in his arms."Let me go!" Celeste screamed, struggling without success. Bald just grinned wickedly."Brat, this time I've got time for you. I won't stop until I have you," he sneered, his hand already groping Celeste's chest."Help!" Celeste cried out in desperation."You're dead!" Flynn swung his stick, smashing it dow
"How are you feeling?"As soon as Chase opened his eyes, he saw a beautiful figure above him. He realized he was lying in Quinn's arms, and she was looking down at him with concern."I'm fine. How long has it been?" Chase asked quickly, becoming aware that he had left the other world. He felt like he had been there for days and hoped it would not have affected the real world too much as it concerned Bianca's safety.Reflecting on the last moments before he left that world, Chase still found it hard to believe. In the blinding light, he thought he saw a figure emerging, one that looked eerily familiar. It matched the silhouette hidden deep within his consciousness.It was impossible. Chase could not believe it, yet the sight was undeniable. The figure in the light seemed to be speaking to him, lips moving without a sound reaching him.Chase had a strong sense that this person was trying to communicate with him."What do you mean, how long has it been? You set up the soundproof bar
As Chase sized up the man, the man was also scrutinizing Chase. He seemed surprised to see such a young pair of men and women. His gaze then moved past them and landed on Trevor and the others. His expression immediately hardened as he spoke."Who are you? Why have you intruded into Bactria?" he demanded, his tone filled with suspicion.Seeing this, Chase realized the man had misunderstood. It was not entirely his fault—Trevor and the Sands clearly looked like Eastern Oceanians, which instantly raised red flags.In Bactria, any sighting of Eastern Oceanians typically aroused hostility."Sir, I'm Chase Collins. Don't get the wrong idea; these three are my servants," Chase quickly explained. He only bothered to clarify because he figured the man was likely a compatriot.Upon hearing Chase introduce himself, the man was taken aback. It was obvious he had heard of the name before."What? You say you're Chase Collins? How can you prove it?" the man questioned skeptically."What do yo
