Hearing that, Fane's heart quivered. He stopped at the bank’s entrance and reached out to caress Selena's pretty face. "Don't worry. I'm back now, and you’ll never suffer anymore. Anyway, your husband is now someone with social status. I’m also earning 20 million bucks a month now, right?"Selena’s heart was filled with warmth, and a warm smile graced her lips. "It seems that Miss Tanya didn't lie to you. You really got the job!""Yes. They had also arranged a room in the villa for me. I can live there if I want to, but I think it’s more comfortable to sleep in a room with my wife!"Fane smiled as he studied the woman before him. Through her, he realized that the world was so beautiful.He would be responsible for her life from then on!“What are you doing here with a big flowery bag? Are you going in there to pick up the mineral water bottle? Get out of the way!"A man who was wearing a gold necklace came over.After that, his eyes traveled down the fair legs under Selena's pro
“Wife?"The manager was considered a beautiful woman with an attractive figure. To have heard Fane’s clarification, she was stunned momentarily. She eyed Selena, green with envy. "This young lady is really lucky to have married such a handsome and rich man. You have nothing to worry about for the rest of your life!"She had hoped for a chance to have a relationship with Fane. After all, it was the first time she met such a wealthy man.The instant she met Selena, however, she felt inferior on the spot. The woman who stood before her was much better than her, appearance and temperance-wise.Once she led Fane and Selena into a private room, the manager went to make a cup of coffee for them both before helping them with their business.After a while, a large amount of cash was sent to Fane under the escort of two security guards."Help me put them in this bag!" Fane said with a faint smile.The two security guards were flabbergasted at the sight of the flowery bag. Such an ordinary
“Where?""Which car is hers?” someone asked. “Why can’t I see it?""The person behind the electric scooter looks like the manager!"The male employee pointed to the electric scooter slowly approaching the road shoulder."My goodness, it's her! Who’s that man? Surely not her husband, right? There’s a flowery bag in front of her. Is her husband on his way to work and he dropped her off on his way?"Felicia was surprised at what she saw. "Could it be? Didn't you say that the manager's salary is one million a month? With such a high salary, why does her husband need to work?"A male employee frowned at her remark."Hehe. You may not know but she’s the famous beauty, Selena Taylor. She was the one kicked out by the Taylor Family,” she added. “Her husband must’ve returned from the army!""Let me tell you something. Do you know why she rides an electric scooter? It’s because she has no money. Some time ago, someone saw her with her daughter picking up trash to sell. Who knows how sh
“You… Why did you say that to me? What's the matter with you? How low of you to do that!"Sonia was so angry that her chest was heaving. She did not expect a comeback from Fane. She was a distant relative of the Drake Family. Everyone in the company knew that. That was the reason why no one in the company dared to offend her. Even the previous manager had to give her face and asked her opinions for many decisions.In her opinion, Fane was just a lousy soldier, so he was not qualified to talk to her like that."Oh, sorry, I’m just like you. I didn't study much, and I’m just a boorish man. I thought I was praising you!"Fane gave an insouciant shrug as he defended himself.Many employees chuckled when they heard their exchange. That guy was smart and witty with his words. "You..."Sonia was so angry that her face turned blue, yet she was at a loss of words to retaliate. She could only cross her arms across her chest and glanced at the bag in Fane's hand. "Why do you bring suc
"Mister, are you looking for someone?"One of the guards asked with a strange expression."Mister, this is the Dynasty Hotel, the best hotel in Middle Province. Only the noble and rich patronize this place!"The other security guard was not as polite. "If you’re here to pick up trash, then I'm afraid it won't work. This isn’t the place to do that!"Fane burst out laughing. “How ridiculous! I’m here for dinner, of course!"Then, his face instantly went dark. "Get out of my way!"His being emitted a terrifying aura, and the two security guards were scared witless. They stumbled several steps backward. "Haha! Can you even afford to dine here?"A man, who happened to be passing by, asked scornfully. "Poor and rude are the words for people like you!"After throwing the remark, the rich second generation turned to the two security guards and said, "You two, it’s better to send him away. People with status like us don't want to dine with such a lowly person. He even came in with a w
"Really? That’s great. We’ve booked a private room with minimum spending of 200,000 bucks. Are you sure you want to pay for our dinner? In case we order more dishes, the dinner might cost around 300,000 to 400,000!"A female employee’s eyes lit up when she overheard the conversation. She stepped forward and took the man's business card eagerly. "Are you Sean Logan, the Assistant General Manager?""Yes!” he chuckled shortly. “My father is worried that I might not be able to handle the company on my own. I’m appointed as the assistant general manager while he’s the general manager!”Sean cracked a self-deprecating joke and asked, "By the way, who’s this beautiful manager?""Oh, this is our new manager, Selena Taylor!" the female employee replied casually. "Manager, someone wants to treat us to dinner. Why don’t you two exchange name cards?"Another male employee was equally over the moon. Why would they let go of such a big offer?"That’s right. We should exchange business cards.
It did not take long for his eyes to brighten up again. He cried out excitedly as a light bulb went off in his head. "Oh yeah... Why was I so stupid? There are so many people around, and her employees are here as well. How could she accept such a grandiose benefit? Had someone reported her to the management, she’d be doomed even if the benefit isn’t given to her directly!"He smiled to himself after figuring out the situation. “It seems that I’ll have to ask her out alone for business discussion someday. I’ll then give her a bank card secretly, so everyone wouldn’t know. I’m sure she’ll accept it. Who in their right mind would turn money down!"Selena and others soon arrived at a large private room. Fane casually dropped the bag at a corner before he sat down next to Selena.Selena, who knew that Fane had two million with him, was obviously confident about paying for the meal. She stood up and smiled at everyone. "You can order whatever you want to eat,” she spoke aloud. “The minimu
"Yes, everyone should just enjoy the night. What can we poor people worry about for our manager!"Felicia nodded and then asked Fane, "By the way, what do you do, Fane? Why are you so rich? Tell us about it!""I'm a bodyguard!"Fane smiled faintly and replied nonchalantly."Bodyguard?"Sonia burst out laughing when she heard that. "Haha! You can always claim to be a bodyguard to make it sound better while in truth, you’re just a petty security guard. Well, to put it in another way, you’re just watching the door! I guess you’re only being paid a few thousand bucks a month, yes? Now that your wife is earning one million a month, do you feel inferior?"To this, Fane burst out laughing. “Miss Neal, are you confused between a security guard and bodyguard?” he spoke. “Security guards guard the door whereas I’m a real bodyguard!""Moreover, I took up this job because I don’t want my wife to feel like I’m not working,” he added. “Otherwise, I wouldn’t be bothered to go for this job!""
There was a heavy rumbling as the door slowly opened. A boundless sense of energy seemed to come from it.A few of them looked inside. Other than the green light, they could see nothing. The light completely obscured their sight. If they wanted to look inside, they would have to step in themselves.On the way there, Fane had already talked to Lourain about it. Lourain wanted to see what the legendary Valley of Enlightenment was like. That was why Fane asked for two spots.The three of them exchanged looks with each other, and they did not hesitate to step forward together, entering the door.The power of distorting space suddenly pulled the three of them in. The space around them started to spin rapidly. They did not know how much time passed, but it felt like a whole century before the space slowed down in front of them. Then, the sense of weightlessness disappeared as their feet landed on solid ground.The three of them had not been sent to different locations and arrived at the
Zayne scoffed, "Alright then, how do you want to work together?"He wanted to see what Fane was trying to do.Fane did not waste any time, "Both of us have all three keys, and we can open the door. Ten people can enter the door anyway. I just need two of those spots.Zayne looked at Fane meaningfully, "You sure know quite a bit."Fane even knew that only ten people would be allowed through. He seemed to have done his homework.Zayne took out his purple key from his storage ring. At that moment, all three keys were there. As long as all the keys were placed together, the gateway to the Valley of Enlightenment would open."If you only need two spots, then I don't mind working with you," Zayne looked at Fane meaningfully, but he quickly added, "However, make sure you don't cause any trouble during the important moments."Fane smiled before he said, "I've always been someone who keeps to my word. I'm more worried that you'll cause me trouble instead. There are many geniuses in the V
The two of them knew what that meant. Their eyes met, and worry was evident in their eyes."Is it Fane again?" Zayne said with a frown. At that moment, the first name that popped up in his head was Fane.Only Fane would truly be a big problem for them. Seymour's expression turned sour. He suddenly felt like Fane seemed to be his Achilles heel. Fane could pop out at any time and put him in a difficult spot."That's right! It's me!" At that moment, a voice was heard from afar. The two of them looked in the direction of the voice and saw five figures appearing in the air.This time, Fane did not have a disguise on. He was facing everyone with his real face."It really is you!" Zayne's face completely soured at that moment. Even if they were meeting for the first time, he was already incredibly sensitive to Fane's name.Nothing good ever happened when Fane was mentioned and Fane had actually appeared in front of him."How dare you!" Seymour shouted angrily!He walked forward to sta
When Shin and the others saw that, they were speechless. That person who had looked down on them was completely bound and on the ground at that moment. He looked pathetic.Fane quickly walked toward Warren, reaching out to pull off the mask to reveal his face.Fane controlled his energy, reducing the destructive power in Warren's soul. After the pain diminished, Warren slowly woke up.He looked up and saw the one person he never wanted to see in his life. He lost his voice as he said, "Fane?! It's you!" He almost bit his tongue as he spoke.Fane smiled and nodded slightly, "Yes. It’s me.""No wonder, so it's you! Where's Presti then?" Warren looked up and said.Fane raised an eyebrow and shot an incredulous look at Warren. Warren immediately understood what happened, and his whole face turned pale, "He's dead!"Fane nodded. There was nothing much to hide. Warren gulped, suddenly feeling like his thoughts from earlier were an absolute joke at that moment. He had even been think
After seeing that, there was a surprised look on Warren's face. However, he quickly pushed back that surprise. Even if that man was skilled, he would just be an above-average warrior. Above-average warriors were like paper to him!"Brat, it looks like you have some skill. However, that means nothing in front of me. I'll show you right now what a warrior at the peak is!"Right after he said that, he circulated his true energy around his feet. Red energy started to frantically blow away the dust on the ground. He lunged into the air incredibly fast.Fane raised an eyebrow before he started to form seals with his hands. Countless seals danced around in the air, and a chain appeared.That chain looked like a black dragon as it danced in the air.Warren scoffed in disdain. It was just a petty trick from an above-average warrior in his eyes. That chain would shatter in just one blow.He did not even bother thinking about it as he raised the sword in his hand. A silver ray of light quic
He leaped forward and landed in front of those four. Fane had already noticed Warren a while ago, but Fane relaxed when he saw Warren was alone. If it was just one person, then there was nothing to worry about!"Presti really is a piece of trash. He couldn't even get you!" Warren said with a sneer.Shin clutched his chest and turned to look at Cavill next to him. Cavill nodded slightly and did not say anything. The two of them shut their mouths at the same time as they looked in Fane's direction.Warren immediately felt something was wrong. He turned to look at Fane and saw that Fane was still completely calm as if nothing had happened."Brat, it looks like you're no ordinary person!" Warren said with a sneer.Fane turned to look at him before saying calmly, "Are you here to kill us?"Warren laughed out loud, and his eyes were full of mockery, "What do you think I'm doing here? Do I look like I'm here to chat?"Fane laughed. He could not believe another one turned up so soon aft
When Warren heard that, he felt incredibly exasperated. He mumbled, "It's just Shin, how could there be any trouble? Even if he has some fellow disciples with him, Presti is more than enough. They're all trash anyway."Zayne frowned, and he unleashed an incredibly strong aura that forced Warren to take a step back, "Shut up! Do you think we can afford to be careless right now? We're at the cusp of accomplishing everything right now. We have to be extremely careful. What kind of attitude is this?"Warren immediately shut up and did not dare to say anything. Zayne coldly looked at Warren, and deeply felt like Warren was not someone who could accomplish much. If it was not for the fact that he was useful, Zayne would not even bother bringing Warren through the door with him.Seymour turned to look into the distance. Gray mist filled up the skies, and no one could see the end of the horizon.There was nothing in the skies, and Seymour suddenly started to feel some worry. He was not clo
In front of an ancient stone door, two men were standing there, while another was sitting down and resting.The men who were standing had very stiff expressions on their faces. The two of them looked at each other with animosity in their eyes. It was obvious they were not friendly with each other. The man who was sitting down had his eyes shut and completely ignored the other two."Seymour! You're just the same as Desmond. You can't even get something so simple done. Desmond lost his life. I think you're about to follow suit!" Warren sneered as he mocked.Seymour's expression was dark, and he shot right back, "Warren, stop with those disgusting words of yours! Don't think I don't know what you're trying to do. You're just trying to push me down and take all the credit for yourself!"Stop joking around! You aren't smart enough to steal my credit! Even though Desmond is already dead, he still did the best he could. He was just tricked by Fane. If it was you, you wouldn't even have
Fane frowned. After he reached out to grab Presti's neck, Presti's life ended with a crack.Shin's eyes widened as he looked at Fane with fear. His savior could very well kill him!Cavill started to panic as well. He looked at Fane with alarm. Even though he was thankful that Fane saved the two of them just now, he had no way to tell what Fane would do after this. Fane slowly walked in front of them, and he did not show much emotion on his face.Cavill said in a dry voice, "Fane, you…?"Fane shook his head, "Don't panic. I won't kill you. Let's work together. It's not like only one person will be able to enter after the door opens."Shin looked at Fane with an incredibly inquisitive look. He thought about it before he said, "I… I don't want to work together. I'll give you the key as thanks for saving me. That Valley of Enlightenment doesn't sound like a good place at all. If I enter, I don't even know if I'll be able to survive."As he spoke, Shin had a bitter look on his face.
