Chapter 12

Author: Moneto
“Settle the matter? How do you plan to settle this? For that matter, I’m at fault too. Furthermore, Old Master Taylor is still my grandfather. Are you planning to beat him up?”

Selena smiled bitterly, then said, “This time, you come with us and just stay quiet in a corner. After so many years, Grandpa’s temper should have improved. Maybe a few good words will stop them from pursuing this matter.”

“Alright, I’ll try my best to follow your instructions and avoid acting. Otherwise, you’ll complain that I’m being too violent!”

Fane laughed bitterly. He wanted to see for himself how the people from the Taylor family would treat him without knowing his identity.

Furthermore, the reason he came back this time was not to be the Supreme Warrior. He only wished to peacefully accompany his woman and care for his mother, living life comfortably.

Taking a taxi, the group of three quickly arrived at the gates of Taylor Residence.

“That brat is really brazen to actually hit Young Master Taylor. Didn’t he know that Young Master Taylor was extremely petty?”

“That’s right. I’m afraid this won’t end well. He’s just a soldier, a stinking live-in son-in-law. He should consider his own identity!”

They overheard the quiet exchange of the two guards at the gate just as they got out of the car.

However, when the guards noticed their arrival, they immediately kept quiet.

One of them smiled. “Miss Selena, you’re back. We’ll inform the Master and Old Master right away!”

“No need! We’ll go by ourselves!”

Selena looked at the gate stoically with complex feelings.

She had numerous wonderful memories of her childhood here. Unexpectedly, after growing up, the Taylor family turned out to be filled with so much political intrigue. To her, the bigger surprise was the fact that she would, one day, be kicked out of this place.

After hesitating for a moment, the trio entered slowly.

Just as they reached the gate of the Old Master’s villa, they could hear the voices of discussion coming from within.

“That Fane is too much. Who does he think he is to hit Ivan?!”

“That’s right. He’s just a soldier of a few years. Does he think he’s some big shot now? How can a sparrow transform into a phoenix?!”

“Most importantly, Ivan was suffering from fractured bones. I heard that he was beaten to the point of unconsciousness!”

A few relatives of the Taylor family were having a heated discussion, as though Fane was a condemned sinner.

“Yes, that’s right. That brat is in the wrong. Argh, I’m so pissed!”

Just as Selena was about to enter, Fiona’s voice could be heard.

Selena frowned immediately. Her outstretched hand paused in the air.

Right at that moment, Fiona’s voice was heard once more, “You might not know this, but earlier today, he actually slapped Ken Clark, the Clark family’s young master, and caused him to lose three teeth!”

“Young Master Clark? That Young Master Clark that fancies your Selena all this while? He went looking for you?”

Old Master Taylor could not help but ask.

“I know, right?” He thought that Fane was surely dead and hoped that Selena would divorce Fane so that he could marry Selena. Moreover, he also mentioned that he does not mind about Kylie’s incident.

“Who could’ve known that Fane would suddenly come back at that time…”

Fiona grew more agitated over time. “This time, I’m afraid the Clark family won’t let it go that easily!”

Selena could not bear listening on, pushing straight through the door with Fane and Joan with her. “Ma, I won’t accept Ken’s proposal! He’s a fake gentleman. Do you really think that he would be nice to me after getting married? By that time, I don’t know how much frustration I’ll have to go through!”

“Selena, you’re finally back. If you don’t give me a proper resolution for today’s matter, I won’t let this go!”

Upon seeing Fane and Selena’s arrival, Ivan, who had one hand in bandages, stared at them angrily with his eyes wide open.

“Ivan, are you without fault? You had Kylie eat the buns that you threw on the floor and stomped on. Do you think that Fane, as a father, could tolerate that?”

Selena’s expression darkened, then looked at Old Master Taylor and said, “Grandpa, Fane can’t be blamed for this matter. Ivan was really going overboard.”

“Ivan, is that the case?”

Old Master Taylor was not an unreasonable person. He looked at Ivan and asked slowly.

Ivan immediately retorted, “How is that possible? I was only joking and Fane coincidentally saw it. Who knew he would act without even saying anything! H-h-he even forced me to eat that bun!”

“Ivan Taylor, if you continue to spew nonsense, I’ll break your other arm!”

Beside her, Fane could no longer bear to watch it. Ivan was clearly lying blatantly.

Hearing those words, Ivan took a few steps back. It was obvious that he was scared.

However, remembering that they were in Taylor Residence and Fane was just a live-in son-in-law, he probably would not dare do anything with this many witnesses.

With his newfound confidence, he took a step forward. “You guys take a look at how insolent this brat is. He’s just a live-in son-in-law, not even a Taylor, yet he dared to utter such words in front of everyone.”

Ivan turned around and shot a look at Fane. The words that Fane was about to say were held back.

He had already caused Selena to suffer through so many years of hardships. For Selena’s sake, he did not wish to complicate matters. Furthermore, he only wanted to enjoy a peaceful life.

“Fane, you’re too brazen. If not for the one million bucks we gave you, your mother won’t be able to afford the surgery and died!”

“Not only are you ungrateful, but you also repaid kindness with malice and treat our Taylor family this way?”

One of the relatives of the Taylor family immediately started their accusations.

“That’s right. If it’s not for us, would his mother still be around?”

Another elder was similarly putting up airs, acting high and mighty.

In their eyes, Fane and Joan were outsiders, penniless people of the lower class.

If not for Selena being pregnant with that b*stard child, Fane would have nothing to do with their Taylor family.

“Eh!”

Right then, one of the girls from the Taylor family in her twenties, Cecilia Taylor, noticed the shopping bag in Joan’s hand.

“Are my eyes playing tricks on me? Those are all branded stuff!”

Cecilia walked forward and studied Joan, who was still in her cleaner’s uniform, closely, then said disdainfully, “Did you rob or steal these?!”

With Cecilia pointing it out, everyone immediately took notice of those shopping bags. They were obviously international brands. Was that something they could even afford?

“My son bought it for me and Selena. Although we’re poor, we have always been honorable. There’s no way we would resort to stealing or robbing!”

    “Honorable? Hehe, if you’re not wearing such clothing, I might just believe it!”Cecilia sneered, then added, “There should be a few dresses in there. From the looks of it, some were bought for Selena, right? I’m guessing the total should be some tens of thousand bucks!”Cecilia commented as she looked through the content. She suddenly saw a dress and took it out of the bag. “It can’t be. T-t-this is a limited edition worldwide! This dress is over a hundred thousand bucks! It’s the newest model from this brand!”Hearing those words, several people from the Taylor family had a shocked expression.It was not that they could not afford that dress, but it was weird that Fane’s group could afford it.Moreover, it was not some high-end watch or jade pieces, but just a dress. Even those from the Taylor family would think twice before spending hundreds and thousands of bucks.“Put the dress back. I don’t want your hand dirtying Selena’s dress!”Upon seeing her taking the dress out, Fane’s expr

    Old Master Taylor was having mixed feelings. Fane’s guess was almost spot on.The Old Master was a person that cared greatly about his reputation. Back then, he had Fane marry into the Taylor family to prevent Ivan from being enlisted. That itself was already something that affected the Taylor family’s reputation.He never expected an even greater shame to come later on. Fane was only married to Selena for a day when he got enlisted the very next day. However, Selena became pregnant soon after.He was aware that Selena had gotten drunk that night. He even suspected that it could have been Fane that forced himself on Selena.Never did he expect Selena to claim that it was voluntary. That matter almost gave him a heart attack.That was why, in a fit of rage, he kicked Selena, her parents, and her 14 years old brother out of the Taylor Residence.As for Selena’s inability to be employed and the restrictions placed on her, that was the work of Ivan.“Are you sure I can write any amount?”F

    “This can’t be. Grandpa is acknowledging Fane’s identity as the son-in-law of the Taylor family?”Upon hearing the Old Master’s words, some of the Taylor family members had a shocked expression on their faces.‘Grandpa used to pamper Selena. It’d seem that Grandpa’s anger had subsided after all these years. Within Selena’s body still flows the blood of our Taylor family, after all.’ A member of the Taylor family speculated quietly in his mind.“Grandpa!”Selena pursed her red lips and felt her tears surfacing. She knew her grandfather had been keeping tabs on her in secret. The old man was only unable to lower himself all this while.For Zeus Taylor, his reputation was more important than anything else.“However?” Fane scowled. He knew that it would not be that simple.“However, the matter of you injuring Ivan’s arm can’t be settled just like that!”The old man’s tone changed once more as he continued, “You need to pay compensation!”“That’s right. Grandpa’s right. My arm is fractured.

    “Young Master Wilson, what are you doing here?”Ivan greeted the Wilson family’s young master the moment he noticed him.“What did you say earlier, Young Master Wilson? Fifty million? You’re willing to offer a fifty million bucks lottery reward?”Overwhelmed with emotions, Fiona’s eyes lit up. “Is your word good?” she sputtered.One should know that the Wilsons and the Clarks were both second-class aristocratic families. Simply put, they were significantly wealthier than their Taylor family.“Of course, Auntie. Do we look like people who’d go back on their word? I’m still a member of the Wilson family, my word is still good!”Young Master Wilson chuckled as he spoke, yet he was simultaneously admiring the seemingly perfect appearance of Selena. He could not hold himself back as he gulped.Young Master Wilson was extremely fat; so much so that he resembled a pig. Not only was he extremely gluttonous, but he was very interested in women as well.He was instantly charmed back when

    As James listened to what his staff had to say, he could not hold back his bitter chuckle. “The Gods of Wars are way above our status, and they’re not easy to butter up,” he stated. “Not to mention, this is a female God of War. We don’t even know what she likes and dislikes!”He paused when that point was brought up. He continued, “I’m afraid all of the major powerhouses wanted nothing more than to sweet-talk to the God of War upon her return. Fortunately, we went through so much to learn of her flight today, and it seems the other powerhouses knew absolutely nothing.”The middle-aged man in front of him nodded his head and said, “The gift we sent for the God of War Lana, did she accept it?”“Hehe...still ain’t bad. She accepted the hospitality we arranged for her. It’s a different story for the money, though. She was quite disinterested with it!”James chuckled and said, “Lana seems to dislike it when people try to flatter her. Not to mention, we have no idea how exactly we can ca

    Selena initially thought her mother would help her carry the clothes in her hands when she snatched and tossed them into the lake.It was already too late by the time she came to her senses. Those three sets of clothes that cost nearly two hundred thousand had been audaciously tossed into the lake beside her.“What on Earth are you doing, Ma? Those were authentic! Who told you they were fake?”Selena was so agitated that she stomped. Alarmed, she rushed over as her eyes grew red and she seemed like she was about to cry. It was the first time Fane had gotten her clothes. After all the hardships she had endured for the five years they were married, she finally had a taste of luxury. This meant her endurance for the past five years was not for nothing!“Authentic? How are those even genuine? And if they truly were, can he even afford them?”The skeptical Fiona crossed her arms at her chest. She was unconvinced that Fane had that much money to have bought international branded clothes

    “Master, Master! I’ve made several phone calls, and I finally found something about the whole situation with Fane. It’s very peculiar!”Spectre Face called out to James as he rushed in frantically.“Peculiar?”James was somewhat startled when he heard what Spectre Face had to say. He never thought he would describe Fane as ‘peculiar’.“Have a look. This is the information I got from people I tasked in the military to look into Fane.”“There’s only his name, his ID number, and his past job as a takeout delivery boy. After that, he became the son-in-law of the Taylor family. He got enlisted on the second day of his marriage, and what happens after that is something we can’t find. Suddenly, five years later, he returned to the Middle Province!”Spectre Face frowned and said, “Isn’t such a casefile peculiar? Not only was information during his enlistment a mystery, but the department he was enlisted in was unknown as well. All we could find was that his mother’s name is Joan Xavier,

    “Yay, yay! We can go for a meal now!”Kylie was dressed in a beautiful mini princess dress while she pranced delightfully in the courtyard.“Madam, I won’t be joining you guys. I still have some matters to attend to, so I’ll take my leave now.”Jenny smiled at Selena.“A date with your boyfriend again? Oh, you. Hurry up and go!” Selena spoke with a compassionate smile.Joan had already finished her shower at that moment. She changed into the new clothes Fane had bought for her; she looked younger at a short glance. Although she was already in her forties, she looked younger and more elegant.Joan looked effortlessly beautiful, and she had her natural elegance as well. Although she was usually dressed in her cleaner’s uniform to work, she still emanated a personal grace that only belonged to her and no one else.It was also this reason that Fane's father fell in love with her back then.Unfortunately…“Ma, you look pretty in that dress!”Selena smiled as she took a look at Joa

    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.
