“That’s right!”Upon noticing James was siding with her, Tanya rolled her eyes at her brother and said, “He was just answering a call. Perhaps he had some emergency or else he wouldn’t have just bolted so suddenly, right?”When Fane arrived at the front door, he stood there for a brief moment before a black sports car sped toward him and stopped right where he was.A beautiful woman wearing a hat and a pair of shades sat in the car. She was dressed quite fashionably.“Master…”Lana called out excitedly when she saw Fane.“What did you call me?”Fane’s expression dimmed as it seemed this brat’s memory was bad. Fortunately, no one else was there or his identity would have been exposed.“Sorry, well, I was too happy. So…”Lana let out an awkward laugh. After that, she said, “Cough, cough. Mr. Fane, hurry up and get in, we’ll talk as we walk!”“Alright!”Fane immediately got into the car as it swiftly sped off.“Good lord, isn’t that the bodyguard, Fane? He had a hot woman pick
“Yes, yes, yes. Now that we’re at peace, you guys should rest and loosen up a little!”Fane cracked a gentle laugh and said, “Your Brother Abner sent me a text saying that he was too bored and gonna go on a vacation.”“Really? When Brother Johnson returned, he was swarmed in his village by the people. I heard there are lots of people waiting to be autographed by him. Good lord, that scene though…”Lana laughed and said, “That’s right, Brother Fane, what about you? Does your wife and the others know your identity yet?”“Nope!”The hint of sweet smile could be seen on Fane’s face. No one had ever seen a smile like that back then. He said, “I don’t want to let them know about it for now. I’m afraid they might not be able to accept my identity if I dropped this bombshell on them. Not to mention, I wish to live a peaceful and undisturbed life.”“Sigh!”Lana lamented again after hearing Fane’s statement. She said, “Oh how I envy you. If I had known earlier, I wouldn’t have wanted this
“Heheh, so in order for me to not expose my identity, you should bid for that luminous pearl in a moment!”Fane said while chuckling.“Yes!”As she said that, Lana let out a bitter laugh.At this moment, there were around seven to eighty bodyguards dressed in a black suits and standing by the auction house’s door. They looked full of spirit and stood tall. They seemed quite powerful.“Are you both here for the auction?”One of the bodyguards asked when he spotted Fane and Lana.“Of course!”Lana smiled as she casually took out a black card and waved it in front of him.“Please, come in!”The moment the bodyguard noticed it, he immediately took a step back and allowed them to enter.When they arrived at the auction, it was already crowded inside. Both Fane and Lana found a spot at the back by the corner and got seated.‘What is that Fane fellow doing here?”It was at this moment that Young Master Clark, who was already seated and was waiting for the auction, noticed Fane.
”Yeah. I also feel weird about it. What is he doing here!”Ken cracked a calm smile then said, “Young Master Wilson, look at the woman next to that brat. She’s obviously a rich woman! Do you know why she’s dressed the way she is, with a pair of shades and facemask?”“She’s afraid of people recognizing her, of course!”Micheal chuckled coldly. He was no fool, so why did he even bother asking such a foolish question?“Think about it, why is she afraid of being recognized by people?”“Since she’s a wealthy lady, of course she’s afraid of her husband recognizing her!”“Since she’s afraid of her husband recognizing her, what does that mean? Well, it means that her relationship with Fane isn’t that straightforward then!”Ken analyzed everything in great detail.“Yeah, I didn’t expect this Fane fellow to be such a f*ckboy. He kept going on and on about doing everything for Selena and yet, we didn’t expect him to cheat on Selena behind her back with a wealthy lady!”Micheal clenched h
“Who is that, young master?”One of his lackeys looked at Fane. He had no clue who Fane was.“That was the brat who beat me up last time. Goddammit, I can’t let him get away this time!”Neil was incredibly furious as he told that to the man next to him.“This is an auction house, young master. It’s not appropriate to fight here!”The man immediately advised him. He then said, “Although I’m powerful, it would mean I’m disrespecting the boss of this auction house if I were to cause a scene here!”“You?”Neil looked at the man in a suit. Since his father had hired a few bodyguards for him recently, he could not help but chuckle coldly and say, “You should forget about it. You’re no match for him. I employed about 20 ruffians back then and they were all still no match for him!”After he was done saying that, he immediately continued, “Let’s do it this way, you can go out there and get me 50 to 60 people. Look for people under Old Roger. Although they are more expensive to hire, the
“That depends! Some people would think that Selena looks the best and seems more feminine because when a woman reaches the age of 25 to 26, they look their most attractive!”“However, Rue is an incredibly innocent young woman and besides, she’s only 22 and single. Ever since people heard about Selena’s marriage and how she already has a child, those young masters who pursued her back have now moved onto Rue!”“Besides, I think they both were one of a kind beauties. Oh, that’s right, isn’t that Goddess of War currently in the Middle Province? That woman is also a beauty as her body is incredible and seems very exotic. It’s such a shame that her status is too high and it would be virtually impossible to get her!”Another wealthy merchant said that with a bitter smile after giving it some thought.“Hey listen, someone’s calling you a beauty?”After Fane heard their discussions, he could not help himself from teasing Lana.Lana raised her head pridefully and said, “Well of course, bu
“Sigh, that woman might be the wife to some wealthy merchant, right? The watch around her wrist costs more than a million though. However, the only thing I’m curious about is why she’s wearing a mask and a pair of shades?”Ken sighed before saying, “So I believe even without me saying anything, anyone smart enough would be able to guess the relationship you two share, right?”“There’s no way, right? Fane is actually Selena’s husband? That’s impossible, right? He has the audacity to look for other women when Selena is so stunning?”When a middle-aged wealthy merchant heard that, he was shocked.“Who knows what the reason is. Look at that wealthy lady, she’s not that old, plus her body is amazingly exotic. Man, for a wealthy lady like her, even if she doesn’t give me any money, I would also be willing to do other things with her! Let alone if she’s giving him money!”Another elderly man could not hold himself back as he secretly gulped while looking at Lana’s sexy legs.“Yeah, I wo
“Heheh, you both sure know how to worry now, don’t you!”Fane chuckled then told Ken, “Ken, do you know there’s a saying ‘know your place’? You should really learn from it. I believe Dennis had reminded you about it previously when you tried to forcefully demolish our home, right? Are you sure…you still want to go against me?”After Ken heard that threat, his expression instantly dimmed as he started to worry. Due to how powerful Fane was, not even their Prime Fighter Dan would be a match for him if he actually was offended and was out for his Clark family’s blood. That would be very bad for them!It was only with that thought that he said, “I-I won’t go against you or out my way to make things difficult for you. However, I’m only here to offer you a word of advice. Selena’s so nice to you and yet you have the audacity to do this for money…”“Young Master Ken, I somehow feel like you’re slightly afraid of him?”Micheal was no fool and was instantly able to notice Ken’s anxious beh
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.
