Fane immediately went poker-faced when he heard Wilton’s words. What the f*ck was this? He had just taken a long flight and landed in Soul City. He never expected to get involved in this drama. Initially, he thought that he only had to help this pitiful woman by pretending to be her boyfriend to upset the other party so that they would leave. Little did he expect the young master would actually request for them to kiss in front of him, in public, or else the young master would not believe. But to think about it, Shirley had never had a boyfriend before, and suddenly she claimed that there was a boyfriend? It was too untrustworthy even for Fane himself. A scarlet flush crept up Shirley’s face and her eyebrows knitted. She was in a difficult situation right now. However, Fane had touched her leg and wrapped his strong arm around her waist, if she were to deny that Fane was her boyfriend right now, all her previous efforts would go down the drain. Besides, she cared a lot about
“You’re wrong. I’m not kind or generous at all. You’re my fiancée and this trash slept with you! If I don’t beat him to death today, I’m not Wilton Norton!” Anger flooded Wilton’s veins and his eyes were filled with rage. “Shirley Lancaster, I was being too nice to you before and you took my kindness for granted! How dare you sleep with another man, such reckless behavior! I’m not afraid of the Lancaster family at all! Don’t forget, the Lancaster family is merely a third-class family here, and the Norton family is a second-class! A third-class can’t do anything to a second-class!” Wilton barked as he stared fiercely at Shirley. “I’m…I’m sorry, Fane. I didn’t expect that things would turn out like this…” Terror dawned upon Shirley’s face as she heard Wilton’s words. She started to consider whether or not to tell the other party the truth. Nonetheless, Fane chortled and comforted her gently, “It’s alright. He has bodyguards, I have two here, too!” Ethan and Lana immediately sto
“Brat, I’ll let you win this time!” Wilton was smoking with anger inside, but he could not do anything. He had never imagined that he, as a young master of a second-class family, could not do anything about the current situation—his fiancée was with another man and he could not even teach the brat a lesson. Even worse, he was threatened by the man! With his teeth gritted firmly and his fist balled tightly, he took his men and left the scene. He knew that if he continued to stay on, it would only bring him more trouble. “Phew!” After the other party left, the boulder in Shirley’s heart was finally lifted. She heaved a huge sigh of relief and said, “I bet he wouldn’t come pestering me again! Thank you so much!” Fane had already loosened his arm around Shirley’s waist. He smiled at the other party and uttered, “Miss Lancaster, I’ve done you a great favor this time. But looking at Wilton’s expression just now, I bet he will be holding a grudge against me. Well. It doesn’t matter,
Fane was speechless as well. He laughed bitterly to break the awkward atmosphere. “Young lady, do you really think that I would want you to repay me with your body? Although you’re good-looking like I’ve said, I’m not interested in you, so don’t make a fool out of yourself!” “What make a fool of myself! Keep dreaming on! I was so uncomfortable when you wrapped your arm around my waist just now!” Rage churned inside Shirley as she spoke. She was considered one of the most beautiful women in the Soul City and there were always many men who were head over heels for her! She truly did not expect that this brat was not interested in her, moreover, he had said that into her face twice! That was like a blow to her self-esteem! After saying that sentence, she looked at Fane and thought of the incident a moment ago—Fane offended Young Master Norton to help her. So she softened her tone and said, “Well. It happened that I’m very familiar with what you’ve asked! How about this, you and I go
Soon, Fane arrived at the mall outside of the airport with Shirley on his back.Shirley’s face was crimson red as she was on Fane’s back. The manly aura that Fane emitted caused her to be extremely nervous. She had no idea that this guy, who made her angry, would give her such feelings.“Hey, am I heavy?” Shirley thought about it and purposely asked to lighten the mood.“You’re alright!” Fane dismissed perfunctorily in a few words. He carried Shirley into a shoe shop he saw in front. “Oh yes, are you sure that you want to buy two pairs of shoes?”“Of course! You’ve broken my shoes. Don’t you know about double compensation?” Shirley pursued her delicate mouth and said arrogantly.“Alright. Double! Double!” Fane smiled bitterly.“Oh, my, cousin! Are you in a relationship?” As they finished speaking, a young girl who was trying on shoes in the shop immediately ran over when she saw Shirley. The girl opened her eyes widely and her eyeballs almost popped out of her sockets as she was
Willow’s eyes lit up when she heard what Fane said. She walked forward and looked at Fane with her bright eyes. “Hey, are you still single when you’re so handsome? Since you’re not my cousin’s boyfriend, how about being my boyfriend? Although I’m not as pretty as my cousin, I don’t look bad too. Apart from that, I’m still young and I have not grown to my full potential yet. I’m sure that I will be even prettier in another two years. What do you think?”The corners of Fane’s mouth slightly twitched. He had never imagined that a young girl who was around 18 years old would confess her feelings to him. Apart from that, this was the first time they met each other. Were girls nowadays so proactive?“Kid, stop messing around. I’m not from Soul City and I’m only here to run some errands. It so happens that I need your cousin’s help for somethings!” Fane smiled helplessly and said to Willow.Willow pursed her lips unhappily and said. “This is so boring. I’m so pretty but I’m being turned do
“Father, you know I can’t stand that guy. Since my grandfather has passed away and his grandfather also passed away last year, our marriage agreement doesn’t matter anymore!”Shirley quickly moved forward and took Xavien Lancaster’s hand, acting persuasively, “Also, you know that Wilton’s no good. I met him entering hotel rooms with different pretty women several times. Do you think that he’s there to discuss business-related matters? From how they acted, they’re definitely there for pleasure!”Xavien eyed Fane suspiciously as he grumbled, “No matter what, you can’t just simply find somebody, right? What’s this guy’s name?”“He… He’s Fane Woods.” Shirley smiled embarrassingly and continued, “Father, I just met him today, and I purposely said that he’s my boyfriend to agitate Wilton. I want him to give up, and things would be much easier if he does.” “Haha! Have you been watching too much drama?” laughed Xavien, his outburst stunning Shirley. “Don’t you know what sort of a person W
Shirley was stumped when she heard that Wilton was going to fight against her parents, reeling two steps back in her shock.“Come on, Sister, let’s go back. You should rest well today and get mentally prepared so that you can get married in two days,” uttered Hendrix, a wan smile on his face as he did. “You won’t just let a seven-star King of War annihilate the entire Lancaster family, will you?”“I never thought that Wilton would be such a bastard that he’d go through such lengths to make me marry him.” Shirley smiled coldly and looked at Xavien in front of her and growled, “It’s all your fault! I’ve told you that it’s best if you reduce your collaboration with the Norton family and to not make the projects so huge. What did you do? You never listen to me and insist on making the projects huge! Haha…! You did that just to make more money. Do you see what’s happening now? You’ve just ruined your daughter’s happiness for the rest of her life!”“Sigh… I know I’m the one at fault here,
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.
